                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Microfield Graphics, Inc. (d.b.a. Softboard)


In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of operations, of shareholders' equity and of cash
flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Microfield Graphics, Inc. (d.b.a. Softboard) and its subsidiary at January 2,
1999 and January 3, 1998 and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. 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 audits. We conducted our audits of
these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
which 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, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

As more fully described in Note 12, the Company during 1999 experienced
reduced sales and negative cash flows from operations.  Further, the
Company's bank has declared an event of default and entered into a
Forbearance Agreement relating to the Company's existing Loan Agreement.
Accordingly, the Company has concluded that it might not have resources
sufficient to sustain its operations over the next twelve months unless it
can obtain continued and adequate financing on acceptable terms.
Management's plans with respect to these uncertainties are also discussed in
Note 12.

  which is as of March 26, 1999,
  and except for Note 12, which is as
  of February 6, 2000.

MICROFIELD GRAPHICS, INC.
(D.B.A. SOFTBOARD)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 2, 1999 AND JANUARY 3, 1998
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Microfield Graphics, Inc., an Oregon corporation incorporated in October
     1986, develops, manufactures and markets computer conferencing and
     telecommunications products to facilitate group communications. The
     Company's product lines incorporate a series of digital whiteboards,
     digital whiteboard rear projection systems and interactive plasma
     display systems under the brand name SoftBoard, along with a variety of
     application software packages, supplies and accessories. Information
     written or drawn on the SoftBoard surface is recorded and displayed on a
     personal computer simultaneously and in color using the Company's
     proprietary technology.

     The Company has a wholly owned foreign sales corporation in Barbados.
     Hereafter in these consolidated financial statements, the term "Company"
     refers to Microfield Graphics, Inc. and its subsidiary. The Company's
     primary market is in the United States; however, there are export sales to
     France, the United Kingdom, Japan and other countries. (See export sales in
     Note 10).


2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     FISCAL YEAR
     The Company operates on a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday
     closest to the last day of December.

     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Microfield
     and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions
     and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

     CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
     For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
     highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three
     months or less to be cash equivalents. During the year ended January 3,
     1998, the Company issued common stock to resellers and employees, with a
     fair market value of $15,600.

     ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
     Accounts receivable at January 2, 1999 and January 3, 1998 are recorded net
     of allowances for uncollectible accounts of $44,553 and $34,553,
     respectively.

     INVENTORIES
     Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost or market value.
     Standard costs approximate the first-in, first-out method. Inventory costs
     include raw materials, direct labor and allocated overhead.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
     Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using
     accelerated methods over their estimated useful lives of five years.
     Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred; improvements
     are capitalized. When the Company sells or disposes of assets, the accounts
     are relieved of the related costs and accumulated depreciation and
     resulting gains and losses are reflected in operations.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
     Research and development expenditures are charged to operations as
     incurred.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION
     Revenue is recognized upon shipment of products. Revenue on warranty
     contracts is recognized over the life of the contract.

     INCOME TAXES
     The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability
     approach. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of
     deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax
     consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and
     the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred taxes of
     a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that
     includes the enactment date.

     BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE
     The Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," during the year
     ended January 3, 1998. SFAS No. 128 requires disclosure of basic and
     diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are
     computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
     each year. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per
     share because the potential effect of the conversion of any outstanding
     stock options is anti-dilutive.

     USE OF 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
     disclosure 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 those
     estimates.

     FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
     The recorded amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
     accounts payable, line of credit and accrued liabilities as presented in
     the consolidated financial statements approximate fair value because of the
     short-term maturity of these instruments. The recorded amount of capital
     lease obligations and long-term debt approximates fair value since the
     imputed interest or stated interest approximates currently competitive
     rates.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting
     Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130), defines comprehensive income (loss) as
     the changes in equity of a business enterprise during a period that result
     from transactions and other economic events and circumstances from
     non-shareholder sources. Since the Company's only component of
     comprehensive income (loss) is net loss, SFAS 130 imposes no additional
     reporting requirements on the Company.


3.   CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

     During the year ended January 2, 1999 one customer accounted for
     approximately 38% of net sales. During the year ended January 3, 1998 no
     customer accounted for greater than 10% of net sales. Accounts receivable
     from one customer totaled approximately $210,443 at January 2, 1999, while
     accounts receivable from another customer totaled $277,500 at January 3,
     1998.


4.   INVENTORIES

     Inventories consist of the following:

6.   DEBT

     At January 2, 1999, the Company had a $2,000,000 line of credit, which
     expires in September 1999. Borrowings under the line of credit are due on
     demand, bear interest payable monthly at prime (7.75% at January 2, 1999),
     and are collateralized by inventories and accounts receivable. As of
     January 2, 1999, borrowings of $655,000 were outstanding under the line.
     Pursuant to the line of credit agreement, the Company is required to comply
     with certain financial covenants, including ratios and minimum net worth.
     At January 2, 1999, the Company was in violation of its covenants with
     respect to its quick ratio and minimum net worth. These covenants have been
     waived by the bank. See Note 12.

     The Company's long-term debt consists of the following:

7.   INCOME TAXES

     The provision for income taxes of $1,506 and $2,317 for fiscal years 1998
     and 1997, respectively, consists of minimum payments due and paid to
     various state tax authorities.

     The provision for income taxes for the years ended January 2, 1999 and
     January 3, 1998 differs from the amount which would be expected as a result
     of applying the statutory tax rates to the losses before income taxes due
     primarily to changes in the valuation allowance to fully reserve net
     deferred tax assets.

     At January 2, 1999, the Company had available net operating loss
     carryforwards of approximately $12,148,702 for federal income tax purposes.
     Such carryforwards may be used to reduce consolidated taxable income, if
     any, in future years through their expiration in 2003 to 2012. Utilization
     of net operating loss carryforwards may be limited due to the ownership
     changes resulting from the Company's initial public offering in 1995. In
     addition, the Company has research and development credits aggregating
     $272,471 for income tax purposes at January 2, 1999. Such credits may be
     used to reduce taxes payable, if any, in future years through their
     expiration in 2001 to 2012.

     Rent expense totaled $355,246 and $345,125 for fiscal years ended 1998 and
1997, respectively.

     A former temporary leased employee filed a complaint in federal district
court alleging gender discrimination and harassment in addition to a state
wrongful constructive discharge claim. The plaintiff has alleged emotional
distress, economic loss and punitive damages totaling $1.4 million. No
members of the Company's management were named in the suit. The Company
believes the complaints are without merit and intends to defend these actions
vigorously.

9.   SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN
     The Company has Stock Option Plans (the "Plans"). At January 2, 1999 and
     January 3, 1998, 1,005,162 and 1,005,228 shares of common stock were
     reserved for issuance to employees, officers, directors and consultants.
     Under the Plans, the options may be granted to purchase shares of the
     Company's common stock at fair market value, as determined by the Company's
     Board of Directors, at the date of grant. The options are exercisable over
     a period of up to five years from the date of grant. The options become
     exercisable over four years.  See Note 12.

     The Company adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
     Compensation," in 1996. SFAS No. 123 allows companies to choose whether to
     account for stock-based compensation on a fair value method or to continue
     to account for stock-based compensation under the current intrinsic value
     method as prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
     Employees." The Company has elected to continue to follow the provisions of
     APB Opinion No. 25.

     The Company has computed for pro forma disclosure purposes the value of all
     options and warrants granted during 1998 and 1997 using the Black-Scholes
     pricing model as prescribed by SFAS 123 and the following assumptions used
     for grants:

</TABLE>

     Adjustments are made for options forfeited prior to vesting.

     Had compensation cost for the Company's Plans been determined based on the
     fair value at the grant dates consistent with the method of SFAS 123, the
     total value of options and warrants granted would be computed as follows:

9.   SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)

     Such amounts would be amortized over the vesting period of the options.

     Accordingly, under SFAS 123, the Company's net loss and loss per share
     would have been changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

</TABLE>

     The effects of applying SFAS 123 for providing pro forma disclosures for
     1998 and 1997 are not likely to be representative of the effects on
     reported net loss and net loss per share for future years, because options
     vest over several years and additional awards generally are made each year.

     COMMON STOCK WARRANTS
     In connection with its initial public offering in 1995, the Company issued
     110,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of
     $7.20 per share; such warrants expire in 2000. In addition, in connection
     with the common stock purchase agreement on March 16, 1998 the Company
     issued 260,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise
     price of $6.75 per share. Such warrants may be exercised beginning March
     1999 and expire in March 2001.


10.  EXPORT SALES

     Export sales aggregated $1,822,000 and $981,000 in 1998 and 1997,
     respectively. Such export sales were made to customers in the following
     countries:

11.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On March 26, 1999, the Company signed a common stock purchase agreement
     with Steelcase Corporation ("Steelcase") under which Steelcase purchased
     444,445 shares of the Company's common stock for $1,000,001 ($2.25 per
     share) in cash.

12.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     During 1999, the Company experienced significantly reduced sales and
     negative cash flows from operations.  At the end of the second quarter
     of 1999, the Company concluded that it might not have sufficient funds
     to operate for at least the next twelve months.  Management based such
     conclusion on the reduction in sales and resulting losses that occurred
     during the first six months of 1999, coupled with diminishing cash
     resources (cash and cash equivalents, and cash available under its
     operating line of credit).  In response, management restructured its
     operations through a combination of staff reductions, workweek
     reductions, temporary executive salary reductions, and reductions in
     general expense spending levels.  As a result, the Company delayed
     certain product development programs and focused its efforts on
     expanding product offerings based on its current technology.  It is the
     Company's intention to resume its product development programs when and
     if it achieves profitability on a sustainable basis.  However, there can
     be no assurance that the Company will achieve profitability or resume
     its development programs.

     The Company during 1999 was not in compliance with the minimum tangible
     net worth financial covenant of its Loan Agreement with its bank.  As a
     result, the bank on October 15, 1999 delivered a notice of default, and
     the Company subsequently entered into a Forbearance Agreement with the
     bank.  The Forbearance Agreement provides for a reduction in the line of
     credit to $650,000, the elimination of inventory from the collateral
     base over a fourteen month period, an increase in the interest rate from
     prime to prime plus 2.5%, and certain financial covenants with which the
     Company must comply.  The Forbearance Agreement period is through April
     30, 2000.  The balance outstanding under the line of credit agreement
     aggregates $354,000 at January 1, 2000.

     In the event that the Forbearance Agreement is not extended or the Loan
     Agreement is not renewed, the Company's business and financial condition
     could be materially and adversely affected.  Under such circumstances,
     the Company believes that it would not have resources sufficient to fund
     its operations for the next twelve months unless it is able to obtain
     alternative financing on terms acceptable to the Company.

     The Company is exploring alternative means of financing the business.
     However, there can be no assurance that the Company can obtain such
     financing, or that such financing will be on terms acceptable to the
     Company.

     Effective December 20, 1999, the Company repriced all of its outstanding
     stock options.  As a result, the exercise price for all outstanding
     options was reduced to $.22 per share of common stock.

     During February 2000, the Company was named in a class action lawsuit.
     The complaint alleges that the Company and its Chief Executive Officer
     issued a series of false and misleading statements concerning, among
     other things, the Company's purchase agreement with 3M.  The complaint
     alleges that, as a result of these allegedly material misstatements and
     omissions, the Company's stock price was artificially inflated during
     the period from July 23, 1998 through April 2, 1999.  The Company denies
     the allegations and intends to vigorously defend itself.  However, the
     ultimate outcome of the litigation is presently undeterminable.
