                             MYSOFTWARE COMPANY
                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal 
recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position
and results of operations have been made. Operating results for interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for a full 
year.  The information included in this Form 10-QSB should be read in 
conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
and Results of Operations and the 1995 consolidated financial statements and 
notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K filed with
the Commission.

The prepartion 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
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.  

2.  Income Taxes

The Company's income statements for the nine-month period ended September 30,
1995 included a $269,000 one-time net credit resulting from the establishment
of the Company's net deferred tax assets upon its conversion to a C corporation.

3.  Pro Forma Information

The unaudited pro forma amounts included in the accompanying pro forma income
statement for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995, reflect an 
unaudited pro forma adjustment for the provision for income taxes as if the 
Company had been a C Corporation, fully subject to federal and state income 
taxes.

4.  Pro Forma Per Share Computation

Pro forma net income per share is computed using pro forma net income (as 
described in note 3) and is based on the weighted average number of shares of 
common stock outstanding and common equivalent shares from the stock options 
outstanding (using the treasury stock method). In accordance with certain 
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletins, such
computations include all common and common equivalent shares issued within 12
months of the offering date as if they were outstanding for all periods
presented using the treasury stock method and the anticipated IPO price.  In
addition, the pro forma calculation includes 160,000 shares deemed to be
outstanding representing the number of shares (at the assumed initial public
offering price) sufficient to fund the final S Corporation distribution.

<PAGE>

5.  Write-off of Acquired In-Process Research and Development

The income statement for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 includes a 
one-time write-off of $255,000, resulting from the Company's acquisition of 
technology which had not reached technology feasibility from MediaTech 
Corporation, an Internet publishing tools company.

     Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

This discussion contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to 
certain risks and uncertainties, including without limitation those risks and
uncertainties described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 
year ended December 31, 1995, which has been filed with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission. Actual results may differ significantly from those 
discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased 
$669,000, or 19 percent, to $4.3 million, compared with net revenues of $3.6 
million for the corresponding quarter in 1995.  The increase in net revenues 
resulted from increased sales to retailers and distributors of the Company's 
existing product titles. During the quarter, the Company also benefited from 
the introduction of three new products: MyInternetBusinessPage, 
MyProfessionalMarketingMaterials, and Easy Custom Invoices.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased 15 
percent to $3.0 million, from $2.7 million in the same period in 1995. Gross 
margin for the third quarter was 71.3 percent, compared to 73.5 percent for 
the same period in 1995.  The decrease in the gross margin for the quarter 
was primarily due to a change in the freight arrangements with certain 
customers. The Company's gross margins vary primarily from period to period 
due to changes in product mix, the timing and nature of promotional 
activities, changes in product return levels, and the amortization of prepaid
royalties.
  
The Company's total operating expenses for the three months ended September
30, 1996 increased 20 percent to $2.5 million, from $2.1 million for the same
period of 1995. The increase in operating expenses resulted primarily from
continued investment in new product development and marketing, as well as an
increase in headcount.  Product development expenses were up 28 percent to 
$511,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1996, compared to $400,000 
in the same period of 1995, primarily reflecting the Company's efforts to
upgrade its products to operate with Windows 95 as well as development of new
products.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 17 percent to $1.5 million in the 
third quarter, from $1.3 million in the comparable 1995 quarter. Sales and 
marketing expenses increased principally as a result of increased employee 
expenses due to higher headcount. General and administrative expenses 
increased 25 percent to $473,000 in the three months ended September 30, 
1996, from $378,000 in the same period of 1995, primarily as a result of an 
increase in headcount.

<PAGE>

Operating income was $528,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, 
down 5 percent from operating income of $558,000 in the comparable period of 
1995, reflecting higher operating expenses partially offset by increased net 
revenues.
 
Interest income was $102,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, 
compared to $134,000 for the comparable period of 1995. The decrease in 
interest income was due to lower cash balances in the 1996 period compared to
the 1995 period. 

The Company reported an income tax expense for the three months ended 
September 30, 1996 of $230,000 with an effective tax rate of 36 percent. 
The lower tax accrual rate was  due to the reinstatement of the research and 
development tax credit starting July 1, 1996. Income tax expense in the three
months ended September 30, 1995 was $270,000.  

The resulting net income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was 
$400,000, compared to net income of $422,000 in the comparable period in 
1995, a 5 percent decrease.  


Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, net revenues increased $1.3 
million, or 14 percent, to $10.4 million, compared with net revenues of  $9.1
million for the corresponding period in 1995.  The increase was primarily 
attributable to increased sales of the Company's existing software titles, in
addition to new releases prior to and during the first nine months of 1996.  

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, gross profit increased 11 
percent to $7.6 million, from $6.8 million for the corresponding period in 
1995.  Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was 72.4 
percent, compared to 74.4 percent for the same period in 1995.  The decrease 
in the margin percent for the period was primarily due to a change in the 
freight arrangements with certain customers.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, total operating expenses 
increased 32 percent to $7.4 million, from $5.6 million for the corresponding
period in 1995.  The nine-month 1996 period included a one-time write-off of 
$255,000 of in-process research and development, resulting from the Company's
acquisition of technology from MediaTech Corporation, an Internet publishing 
tools company.  

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, product development expenses 
were up 51 percent to $1.4 million, compared to $943,000 for the 
corresponding period in 1995, reflecting the Company's efforts to introduce 
new products and to update its existing products to Windows 95 while adding 
additional features.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, sales and marketing expenses 
increased 21 percent to $4.4 million compared to $3.6 million for the 
corresponding period in 1995, primarily as a result of increased employee 
expenses resulting from higher headcount.

<PAGE>

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, general and administrative 
expenses increased 30 percent to $1.3 million, compared to $1.0 million for 
the corresponding period in 1995.  Much of the increase was attributable to 
higher expenses associated with the Company's status as a public company, as 
well as an increase in headcount.  

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company reported operating 
income of $194,000, compared to an operating income of $1.2 million in the 
corresponding period in 1995.  

Interest income in the first nine months of 1996 was $295,000, compared to 
$161,000 for the corresponding period in 1995; the increased interest income 
was generated by the invested proceeds of the Company's initial public 
offering.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company reported an income 
tax expense of $176,000, compared to an expense of $18,000 for the 
corresponding period in 1995.  The Company received an income tax benefit in 
June 1995 of $254,000 due to a one-time $269,000 net credit from the 
establishment of the Company's net deferred tax assets upon its conversion to
a C corporation that month.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company reported net income
of $313,000 compared to net income of $1.4 million in the comparable period 
in 1995 and to a pro forma net income of $850,000 for the 1995 period.

The Company has experienced, and may continue to experience, significant 
fluctuations in operating results due to a variety of factors.  These factors
include:  the size and rate of growth of the market for task-specific 
applications for small businesses and of the software market in general; 
market acceptance of the Company's products and those of its competitors; 
development and promotional expenses; product returns; changes in pricing 
policies by the Company and its competitors; accuracy of retailers' forecasts
of consumer demand;  the timing of orders from major retailer and distributor
customers; and cancellations or terminations by retail or distributor 
accounts; shelf space reductions; and delays in shipment.

The Company's business has experienced and is expected to continue to 
experience significant seasonality, primarily due to retailer, distributor 
and end-user buying patterns.  Typically, net revenues are weakest in the 
second and third quarters.  The Company expects its net revenues and 
operating results to continue to reflect this seasonality.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since its inception, the Company has financed its activities almost 
exclusively from cash generated by operations and contributions to capital 
by its stockholders.  Except for its initial public offering in June 1995, 
the Company has not borrowed money or sold stock since 1988.

<PAGE>

As of September 30, 1996, the Company had $7.2 million in cash and cash 
equivalents. The Company believes that its existing cash, its ability to 
obtain additional credit, and cash generated by operations will be sufficient
to meet its working capital needs at least through 1997.
