                        MYSOFTWARE COMPANY
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying balance sheets, statements of 
operations, and statements of cash flows include all material adjustments 
necessary for their fair presentation. The interim results presented are not 
necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications 
have been made for consistent presentation. For further information, refer to 
the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB dated December 31, 1997.


2. Per Share Computation

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average 
number of common shares outstanding during each period presented. Diluted net 
income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of 
shares of common stock and potential common stock using the treasury stock 
method, when dilutive. The difference between shares used for basic net 
income per share and diluted net income per share for the three month period 
ended June 30, 1998 is comprised of the weighted average number of common 
stock options outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of
common stock options outstanding for the three month period ending June 30, 
1997, six months ending June 30, 1997 and 1998 of 73,988, 101,387, and 
273,789, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted loss 
per share because to do so would have been antidilutive for these periods

3.  Revenue Recognition

For software transactions entered into beginning January 1, 1998, the Company 
adopted the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of
Position (SOP) No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. SOP 97-2 generally 
requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements
to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair value of the 
elements. The fair value of the element must be based on evidence that is 
specific to the vendor, and if no such evidence exists all revenue from the 
arrangement is deferred until all elements are delivered. The adoption of SOP 
97-2 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations.

4.  Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards (FASB) No. 130, Reporting of Comprehensive 
Income. FASB No. 130 establishes standards for the display of comprehensive 
income and its components in a full set of financial statements. 
Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity during a period 
except those resulting from the issuance of shares of stock and distributions 
to shareholders. There were no material differences between net income (loss) 
and comprehensive income (loss).

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased 18 percent to 
$3.5 million, compared with net revenues of $2.9 million for the 
corresponding quarter in 1997.  The increase in net revenues resulted 
primarily from increased sales of annuity-based products, as well as the 
growing success of the Company's OEM efforts.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased 19 percent to 
$2.5 million, from $2.1 million in the same period in 1997.  Gross margin for 
the second quarter was 73.2 percent, compared to 72.4 percent for the same 
period in 1997.  The increase in the gross margin for the quarter was due to 
cost of goods sold reduction efforts,  as well as higher margins in the 
Company's OEM license sales. The Company's gross margins vary from period to 
period, primarily due to changes in product mix, the timing and nature of 
promotional activities, changes in product return levels and the amortization 
of software production costs.

Product development expenses were down 17 percent to $436,000 in the three 
months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $524,000 in the same period of 1997, 
reflecting the success of the Company's cost reduction efforts.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 6 percent to $1.5 million in the 
second quarter, from $1.4 million in the comparable 1997 quarter.  Sales and 
marketing expenses increased principally as a result of higher marketing and 
selling expenses with respect to channel promotional programs.

<PAGE>

General and administrative expenses increased 11 percent to $618,000 in the 
three months ended 1998 from $558,000 in the same period of 1997, primarily 
as a result of higher expenses with respect to MIS and investor relations 
activities, as well as higher bonus expenses.

The Company had an operating income of $20,000 for the three months ended 
June 30, 1998, compared with an operating loss of $334,000 in the comparable 
period of 1997. The improvement was primarily due to increases in net 
revenues, partially offset by higher operating expenses.

Interest income was $61,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998, compared to 
$80,000 for the comparable period of 1997. The decrease in interest income 
was primarily due to lower average cash balances during the 1998 quarter. 

The Company reported no income tax benefit or expense for the three months 
ended June 30, 1998 or for the same quarter a year earlier.  For further 
information, see the footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on 
Form 10-KSB dated December 31, 1997.

The resulting net income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was 
$81,000, compared to a net loss of $254,000 in the comparable period in 1997. 


Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, net revenues increased 11 percent to 
$6.6 million, compared with net revenues of $5.9 million for the 
corresponding period in 1997.  The increase was primarily attributable to 
increased sales of the Company's existing and new titles in the retail 
channel, annuity-based products and OEM channels. 

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, gross profit increased 10 percent to 
$4.6 million, from $4.2 million for the corresponding period in 1997.  Gross 
margin for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was 69.9 percent, compared to 
70.5 percent for the same period in 1997.  The decrease in gross margin in 
1998 was primarily due to the mix of OEM sales during the first quarter.

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, total operating expenses decreased 7 
percent  to $4.8 million, from $5.2 million for the corresponding period in 
1997. 

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, product development expenses were 
down 27 percent to $762,000, compared to $1,044,000 for the corresponding 
period in 1997, reflecting the success of the Company's cost reduction 
efforts.

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, sales and marketing expenses 
decreased 4 percent to $2.9 million compared to $3.1 million for the 
corresponding period in 1997, primarily as a result of cost reduction efforts.  

<PAGE>

For the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, general and administrative 
expenses remained constant at $1.1 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company reported an operating 
loss of $231,000, compared to an operating loss of $1.0 million in the 
corresponding period in 1997. The improvement was primarily due to increases 
in net revenues, as well as lower operating expenses.

Interest income in the first half of 1998 was $122,000, compared to $171,000 
for the corresponding period in 1997. The decrease in interest income was 
primarily due to lower average cash balances in 1998.

The Company reported no income tax benefit or expense for the six months 
ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997.  For further information, see the 
footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year 
ended December 31, 1997.

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company reported a net loss of 
$109,000, compared to a net loss of $830,000 in the comparable period in 1997.

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 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 sold stock to third parties since 1988.  The Company has no 
debt.

As of June 30, 1998, the Company had $4.9 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 1998.
