(A)  For the purposes of pooling of interests accounting, the statement of
     operations for the year ended October 31, 1997 was combined with JAG's and
     Talonsoft's December 31, 1997 statement of operations. The Company's
     statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 1998 includes JAG's
     and Talonsoft's restated statement of operations for the period November 1,
     1997 to October 31,1998. Accordingly, JAG's and Talonsoft's net income of
     $431,527 and $149,562, respectively, for the two months ended December 31,
     1997 have been reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings for the year
     ended October 31, 1998.


               The accompanying notes are an integral part of the
                       consolidated financial statements.

2. Significant Accounting Policies and Transactions:

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting  principles for interim financial information
with  the   instructions  to  Form  10-Q  and  Article  10  of  Regulation  S-X.
Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information and footnotes  required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the  opinion  of  management,  all  adjustments,  consisting  only of  normal
recurring  entries  necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  have  been  included.
Operating  results for the six and three month  periods ended April 30, 1999 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the year
ended  October 31,  1999.  For further  information,  refer to the  consolidated
financial  statements and footnotes  included in the Company's  Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended October 31, 1998.

Prepaid Royalties

Prepaid  royalties  were written down $176,525 and $187,414 for the three months
ended April 30, 1998 and 1999,  respectively,  and $226,525 and $844,112 for the

<PAGE>


and 1999, respectively, and $302,325 and $688,068 for the six months ended April
30,  1998 and 1999,  respectively,  to net  realizable  value.  Amortization  of
capitalized  software  costs  amounted to $1,303,107  and $180,000 for the three

for the six months ended April 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Distribution  revenue is derived  from the sale of  interactive  software  games
bought from third  parties  and is  recognized  upon the  shipment of product to
retailers.  Distribution revenue amounted to $20,125,620 and $21,065,176 for the
three months ended April 30, 1998 and 1999,  respectively,  and  $54,595,525 and
$65,415,815 for the six months ended April 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively.  The
Company's  distribution  arrangements with retailers  generally do not give them
the right to return  products to the Company or to cancel firm orders,  although
the Company does accept product returns for stock  balancing,  price  protection
and defective  products.  The Company  sometimes  negotiates  accommodations  to
retailers,  including price discounts,  credits and product returns, when demand
for specific  products fall below  expectations.  Historically,  less than 1% of
distribution revenues represent write-offs for returns.

Publishing revenue is derived from the sale of internally developed  interactive
software  games  or  from  the  sale of  products  licensed  from a third  party
developer  and  is  recognized  upon  the  shipment  of  product  to  retailers.
Publishing  revenue amounted to $19,822,750 and $31,100,156 for the three months
ended April 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively, and $36,758,206 and $55,030,170 for
the six  months  ended  April 30,  1998 and 1999,  respectively.  The  Company's
publishing  arrangements  with  retailers  require the Company to accept product
returns  for stock  balancing,  markdowns  or  defective  products.  The Company
establishes  a reserve for future  returns of published  products at the time of
product sales,  based primarily on these return  policies and historical  return
rates, and the Company recognizes  revenues net of product returns.  The Company
has historically experienced a product return rate of approximately 10% of gross
publishing revenues.

domestic markets accounted for approximately 70.9% and 63.9%, respectively,  and

(1)  In February  1999, JAG was merged into AIM and AIM changed its name to JAG.
     Therefore, for 1999, JAG results are included in the Take-Two line item.

The   acquisitions   described   below  have  been  accounted  for  as  purchase
transactions  in  accordance  with APB No. 16 and,  accordingly,  the results of
operations and financial position of the acquired businesses are included in the
Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.  Under
purchase  accounting,  the assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses are
required to be adjusted from their  historical  amount to their  estimated  fair
value. Purchase accounting adjustments have been preliminarily  estimated by the
Company's  management  based upon  available  information  and are  believed  by
management to be reasonable. There can be no assurance,  however, that the final
purchase  accounting  adjustments  that will  ultimately  be  determined  by the
Company's management will not differ from these estimates.

The measurement dates for the per share price of stock issued for these purchase
transactions  were  accounted  for in accordance  with the Emerging  Issues Task
Force 95-19 ("EITF 95-19") "Determination of the Measurement Date for the Market
Price of Securities Issued in a Purchase Business Combination."

Goodwill  for  the  below  acquisitions  is  being  amortized  over  a ten  year
useful life.

4. Gathering of Developers

In  February  1999,  the Company  purchased a 19.9% class A limited  partnership
interest in  Gathering  of  Developers  I, Ltd.  ("Gathering").  Gathering  is a
developer-driven  computer  and video game  publishing  company.  The  Company's
investment  in Gathering  amounted to $4 million,  payable in six equal  monthly
installments  of  $667,000,  of which  $1,332,000  has been paid as of April 30,
1999. The general partner and each class B limited partner of Gathering  granted
the Company an option to purchase their  interests,  exercisable on two separate
occasions  during the  six-month  periods  ending  April 30,  2001 and 2002.  In
consideration of the option grant, the Company issued to the general partner and
the class B limited  partners  125,000 shares of Common Stock.  The Company also
granted  to the  general  partner  and  class B  limited  partners  an option to
purchase the Company's class A limited partnership interest,  exercisable during
the six-month period ending April 30, 2003.


The 125,000  shares of common stock issued are being  accounted  for as an asset
and amortized over the life of the purchaes option.

<PAGE>


In May 1998, the Company entered into a distribution agreement ("the Agreement")
with Gathering,  as amended in February 1999,  which granted the company (i) the
exclusive  right to  distribute  in the United  States  and Canada all  products
designed by Gathering to operate on PC platforms and scheduled to be released by
May 31,  2003;  (ii) the  exclusive  right to  publish  in Europe  all  products
designed by Gathering to operate on PC platforms and scheduled to be released by
May 31, 2003; (iii) until recoupment of the advances described below,  rights of
first and last  refusal for the  exclusive  worldwide  publishing  rights to any
console version of products for which Gathering has publishing  rights; and (iv)
after  recoupment  of such  advances,  the rights of first and last  refusal for
publishing  rights  and  which  Gathering  has  publishing  by or on  behalf  of
Gathering on the PC or other non-console platform.

The  agreement  obligates  the Company to pay  Gathering  additional  recoupable
advances of  $12,500,000,  payable over one year from the date of the agreement,
of which  $4,806,000  has been  paid as of April  30,  1999.  The  agreement  is
terminable  by the  Company  with  respect  to a  particular  title in the event
Gathering  fails to deliver a title 60 days after its delivery date specified in
the agreement or Gathering otherwise  materially breaches the agreement.  In any
such event,  Gathering  is obligated  to refund any  un-recouped  portion of the
advance attributable to a particular title. In addition, Gathering may terminate
the  agreement  with  respect to a particular  title in the event we  materially
breach the  agreement  and,  upon any  subsequent  two  material  breaches,  may
terminate the entire agreement.

5. Line of Credit

In February  1999,  JAG entered  into a line of credit  with  NationsBank,  N.A.
("NationsBank")  which  provides for  borrowings  of up to  $35,000,000  through
September 30, 1999 and $45,000,000  thereafter.  This line replaces the existing
credit lines held  separately by JAG and AIM.  Advances under the line of credit
are based on a borrowing  formula equal to the lesser of (i) the borrowing limit
in effect at the time or (ii) 80% of eligible accounts  receivable,  plus 50% of
eligible  inventory.  Interest accrues on such advances at  NationsBank's  prime
rate plus 0.5% and is payable  monthly.  Borrowings under the line of credit are
collateralized  by  all  of  JAG's  accounts,   inventory,   equipment,  general
intangibles,  securities  and other  personal  property.  In addition to certain
financial  covenants,  the loan agreement limits or prohibits JAG from declaring
or paying cash dividends,  merging or  consolidation  with another  corporation,
selling assets (other than in the ordinary  course of business),  creating liens
and incurring  additional  indebtedness.  The line of credit expires on February
28, 2001. The outstanding  balance and available credit under the revolving line
of credit is $31,169,276 and $3,818,976 as of April 30, 1999, respectively.

6. Income Taxes

The  provisions  for income  taxes for the three months ended April 30, 1998 and
1999 are based on the Company's estimated annualized tax rate for the respective
years,  after giving effect to the  utilization of available tax credits and tax
planning opportunities.

Item 2.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Safe Harbor  Statement  under the Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of
1995: The statements contained herein which are not historical facts are forward
looking  statements  that involve  risks and  uncertainties,  including  but not
limited to, risks  associated  with the  Company's  future  growth and operating
results, the ability of the Company to successfully integrate the businesses and
personnel of newly acquired  entities into its  operations,  changes in consumer
preferences  and  demographics,   technological  change,   competitive  factors,
unfavorable general economic conditions,  Year 2000 compliance and other factors
described  herein.  Actual  results  may vary  significantly  from such  forward
looking statements.

Overview

The  Company  derives its  principal  sources of revenues  from  publishing  and
distribution  activities.  Publishing  revenues  are  derived  from  the sale of
internally  developed  interactive  entertainment  software products or products
licensed from third parties.  Distribution revenues are derived from the sale of
third-party  software and hardware  products.  Publishing  activities  generally
generate higher margins than distribution activities,  with sales of PC software
resulting  in higher  margins than sales of  cartridges  designed for video game
consoles.  The Company  recognizes revenue from software sales when products are
shipped. See Note 2 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company's published products are subject to return if not sold to consumers,
including  for stock  balancing,  markdowns or defective  products.  The Company
establishes  a reserve for future  returns of published  products at the time of
product sales,  based primarily on these return  policies and historical  return
rates, and the Company  recognize  revenues net of product returns.  The Company
has historically experienced a product return rate of approximately 10% of gross
publishing revenues (less than 1% of distribution  revenues represent write-offs
for returns). If future product returns significantly exceed these reserves, the
Company's operating results would be materially adversely affected.

Research and  development  costs  (consisting  primarily of salaries and related
costs) incurred prior to establishing  technological feasibility are expensed in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 86. In
accordance  with FASB 86, the Company  capitalizes  software  development  costs
subsequent to establishing  technological  feasibility (completion of a detailed
program  design)  which is  amortized  (included  in cost of sales) based on the
greater  of the  proportion  of  current  year  sales to total  estimated  sales
commencing with the product's  release or the straight line method. At April 30,
1999, the Company had capitalized  $2,184,609 of software development costs. The
Company evaluates the recoverability of capitalized  software costs which may be
reduced  materially  in  future  periods.  See Note 2 to  Notes to  Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Results of Three Months Ended April 30, 1998 and 1999

Net sales increased by  $12,216,962,  or 30.6%,  from  $39,948,370 for the three
months ended April 30, 1998 to $52,165,332  for the three months ended April 30,
1999.  The increase in net sales was  primarily  attributable  to the  Company's
expanded presence in international markets.  International revenues increased by
$7,203,201 or 61.9%,  from $11,642,615 for the three months ended April 30, 1998
to  $18,845,816  for the  three  months  ended  April  30,  1999  due to  strong
publishing revenues of the Grand Theft Auto franchise and the recent acquisition
of Joytech,  a publisher of computer  accessories.  In addition,  revenues  from
publishing  activities in the United States  increased by  $6,260,842,  or 80.4%
from $7,782,328 for the three months ended April 30, 1998 to $14,043,170 for the
three  months  ended April 30, 1999 due to sales of Grand Theft Auto  Director's
Cut and PC releases from Talonsoft and Gathering.

Cost of sales increased by $6,237,576,  or 20.9%, from $29,847,441 for the three
months ended April 30, 1998 to $36,085,017  for the three months ended April 30,
1999.  The  increase in absolute  dollars is  primarily a result of the expanded
scope of the  Company's  operations.  Cost of sales as a percentage of net


<PAGE>



sales  decreased  to 69.2% for the three  months ended April 30, 1999 from 74.7%
for the three  months  ended April 30,  1998  primarily  due to the  increase in
publishing  revenues which provide higher margins than  distribution  operations
and the increase in sales of PC software which provide higher margins than sales
of  cartridges  designed  for video  game  consoles.  Publishing  revenues  as a
percentage of net sales  increased to 59.6% for the three months ended April 30,
1999 from  49.6% for the three  months  ended  April  30,  1998.  PC  publishing
revenues as a  percentage  of net sales  increased to 35.8% for the three months
ended April 30, 1999 from 22.6% for the three months ended April 30, 1998.

Research and development  costs increased by $113,597,  or 21.9%,  from $518,408
for the three months ended April 30, 1998 to $632,005 for the three months ended
April 30,  1999.  This  increase  is  primarily  attributable  to the  Company's
increased product  development  operations.  Research and development costs as a
percentage of net sales remained relatively constant.

Selling  and  marketing  expenses  increased  by  $1,516,006,   or  39.8%,  from
$3,812,260 for the three months ended April 30, 1998 to $5,328,266 for the three
months ended April 30, 1999.  Selling and marketing  expenses as a percentage of
net sales increased to 10.2% for the three months ended April 30, 1999 from 9.5%
for the three months ended April 30, 1998. The increase in both absolute dollars
and as a  percentage  of net  sales is  primarily  due to the  expansion  of the
Company's  publishing  business and the  establishment of marketing  programs to
broaden  product  distribution  and  to  assist  retailers  in  positioning  the
Company's products for sale to consumers.

General and  administrative  expenses  increased by $2,631,760,  or 74.4%,  from
$3,536,619 for the three months ended April 30, 1998 to $6,168,379 for the three
months ended April 30, 1999. General and administrative expenses as a percentage
of net sales  increased  to 11.8% for the three months ended April 30, 1999 from
8.9% for the three months ended April 30, 1998.  This  increase in both absolute
dollars and as a percentage of net sales is primarily  attributable to salaries,
rent,  insurance  premiums and  professional  fees associated with the Company's
expanded operations.  In addition,  the recent acquisitions of DirectSoft,  LDA,
Funsoft and DVD and the hiring of additional staff contributed to the increase.

Depreciation  and amortization  expense  increased by $156,749,  or 38.9%,  from
$403,257  for the three  months  ended April 30, 1998 to $560,006  for the three
months ended April 30, 1999.  The increase is primarily due to the  depreciation
of  assets  and  amortization  of  goodwill  that  resulted  from the  Company's
acquisitions of LDA, Funsoft, and DVD.

Interest expense  decreased by $189,865,  or 19.5%,  from $972,818 for the three
months  ended April 30, 1998 to $782,953  for the three  months  ended April 30,
1999. The decrease resulted primarily from lower interest rates on borrowings.

Income taxes  increased by  $854,263,  from  $135,767 for the three months ended
April 30, 1998 to  $990,030  for the three  months  ended  April 30,  1999.  The
increase  resulted  primarily  from the full  utilization  of net operating loss
carryforwards in fiscal 1998.

As a result of the foregoing,  the Company achieved net income of $1,561,172 for
the three months ended April 30, 1999, as compared to net income of $496,405 for
the three months ended April 30, 1998.

Results of Six Months Ended April 30, 1998 and 1999

Net sales  increased by  $29,092,254,  or 31.9%,  from  $91,353,731  for the six
months ended April 30, 1998 to  $120,445,985  for the six months ended April 30,
1999.  The increase in net sales was  primarily  attributable  to the  Company's
expanded presence in international markets.  International revenues increased by
$20,337,436  or 155.5%,  from  $13,078,068  for the three months ended April 30,
1998 to  $33,415,504  for the three  months  ended  April 30, 1999 due to strong
publishing  revenues of the Grand Theft Auto  franchise and the  acquisition  of
Joytech,  a publisher  of  computer  accessories.  In  addition,  revenues  from
distribution activities in the United States increased by $10,820,290,  or 19.8%
from  $54,595,525 for the six months ended April 30, 1998 to $65,415,815 for the
six months  ended  April 30, 1999 due  primarily  to the  acquisition  of AIM in
December 1998.

Cost of sales increased by $18,977,847,  or 26.9%,  from $70,645,010 for the six
months  ended April 30, 1998 to  $89,622,857  for the six months ended April 30,
1999.  The  increase in absolute  dollars is  primarily a result of the expanded
scope of the  Company's  operations.  Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales
decreased  to 74.4% for the six months  ended  April 30, 1999 from 77.3% for the
six  months  ended  April  30,  1998  due  to  the  increase  in  higher  margin
international publishing activities.

Research and development costs increased by $218,778,  or 21.8%, from $1,005,371
for the six months ended April 30, 1998 to  $1,224,149  for the six months ended
April 30,  1999.  This  increase  is  primarily  attributable  to the  Company's
increased product  development  operations.  Research and development costs as a
percentage of net sales remained relatively constant.

Selling  and  marketing  expenses  increased  by  $1,446,032,   or  18.0%,  from
$8,043,437  for the six months  ended April 30, 1998 to  $9,489,469  for the six
months ended April 30, 1999.  The increase  was  primarily  attributable  to the
expansion  of  the  Company's  publishing  business  and  the  establishment  of
marketing  programs to broaden product  distribution  and to assist retailers in
positioning the Company's products for sale to consumers.  Selling and marketing
expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 7.9% for the six months ended
April 30, 1999 from 8.8% for the six months ended April 30, 1998.

$5,671,865  for the six months ended April 30, 1998 to  $10,579,877  for the six
months ended April 30, 1999. General and administrative expenses as a percentage
of net sales increased to 8.8% for the six months ended April 30, 1999 from 6.2%
for the six months ended April 30, 1998. This increase in both absolute  dollars
and as a percentage of net sales is primarily  attributable  to salaries,  rent,
insurance  premiums and professional fees associated with the Company's expanded
operations. In addition, the recent acquisitions of DirectSoft, LDA, Funsoft and
DVD and the hiring of additional staff contributed to the increase.

Depreciation  and amortization  expense  increased by $233,622,  or 30.0%,  from
$779,799  for the six months  ended  April 30,  1998 to  $1,013,421  for the six
months ended April 30, 1999.  The increase is primarily due to the  depreciation
of  assets  and  amortization  of  goodwill  that  resulted  from the  Company's
acquisitions of LDA, Funsoft, and DVD.

Interest expense  decreased by $921,383,  or 36.6%,  from $2,520,853 for the six
months  ended April 30, 1998 to  $1,599,470  for the six months  ended April 30,
1999.  The  decrease  resulted   primarily  from


<PAGE>


amortization of discount on borrowings in 1998.

Income taxes  increased by  $2,258,815,  or 1,564.1%,  from $144,415 for the six
months  ended April 30, 1998 to  $2,403,230  for the six months  ended April 30,
1999. The increase resulted primarily from the full utilization of net operating
loss carryforwards in fiscal 1998.

As a result of the foregoing,  the Company achieved net income of $4,456,008 for
the six months ended April 30, 1999, as compared to net income of $2,317,586 for
the six months ended April 30, 1998

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary capital  requirements have been and will continue to be to
fund the  acquisition,  development,  manufacture and  commercialization  of its
software products.  The Company has historically financed its operations through
advances made by  distributors,  the issuance of debt and equity  securities and
bank  borrowings.  At April  30,  1999,  the  Company  had  working  capital  of
$27,590,386  as compared to working  capital of $21,797,097 at October 31, 1998.

Net cash used in  operating  activities  for the six months ended April 30, 1999
was  $2,743,837  as compared to net cash  provided by  operating  activities  of
$4,793,576  for the six months  ended April 30,  1998.  The increase in net cash
used in  operating  activities  was  primarily  attributable  to the decrease in
accounts  payable and payment of prepaid  royalties and advances to  developers.
Net cash used in  investing  activities  for the six months ended April 30, 1999
was  $2,289,762  as  compared  to net  cash  used  in  investing  activities  of
$1,702,171  for the six months  ended April 30,  1998.  The increase in net cash
used in investing was  primarily  attributable  to the  Company's  investment in
Gathering.  Net cash provided by financing  activities  for the six months ended
April  30,  1999  was  $4,331,333  as  compared  to net cash  used in  financing
activities of $5,264,329  for the six months ended April 30, 1998.  The increase
in net cash  provided by financing  activities  was  primarily  attributed  to a
decrease in repayments on the Company's debt  instruments and an increase in net
borrowings  under the lines of credit.  At April 30, 1999,  the Company had cash
and cash equivalents of $1,447,145.

In February  1999,  JAG entered  into a line of credit  with  NationsBank,  N.A.
("NationsBank")  which  provides for  borrowings  of up to  $35,000,000  through
September 30, 1999 and $45,000,000  thereafter.  This line replaces the existing
credit lines held  separately by JAG and AIM.  Advances under the line of credit
are based on a borrowing  formula equal to the lesser of (i) the borrowing limit
in effect at the time or (ii) 80% of eligible accounts  receivable,  plus 50% of
eligible  inventory.  Interest accrues on such advances at  NationsBank's  prime
rate plus 0.5% and is payable  monthly.  Borrowings under the line of credit are
collateralized  by  all  of  JAG's  accounts,   inventory,   equipment,  general
intangibles,  securities  and other  personal  property.  In addition to certain
financial  covenants,  the loan agreement limits or prohibits JAG from declaring
or paying cash dividends,  merging or  consolidation  with another  corporation,
selling assets (other than in the ordinary  course of business),  creating liens
and incurring  additional  indebtedness.  The line of credit expires on February
28, 2001. The outstanding  balance and available credit under the revolving line
of credit is $31,169,276 and $3,818,976 as of April 30, 1999, respectively.

In May 1999, the Company  consummated a secondary  public  offering of 4,005,000
shares of common stock  (including  505,000 common shares issued  pursuant to an
over-allotment  option),  which included



<PAGE>

3,005,000  shares offered by the Company and 1,000,000 shares offered by selling
shareholders  at a public  offering price of $8.00 per share.  The proceeds from
the offering were  $21,865,598,  net of discounts and  commissions  and offering
expenses of $2,174,402.

The Company's  accounts  receivable at April 30, 1999 were  $47,381,170,  net of
allowances of $1,421,757.  Delays in collection or  uncollectibility of accounts
receivable could adversely affect the Company's  working capital  position.  The
Company is subject to credit  risks,  particularly  in the event that any of its
receivables  represent sales to a limited number of retailers or distributors or
are concentrated in foreign markets, which could require the Company to increase
its allowance for doubtful  accounts.  The Company has credit insurance for most
receivables.

Fluctuations in Operating Results and Seasonality

The Company has  experienced  and may  continue to  experience  fluctuations  in
operating  results  as a result  of delays in the  introduction  of new  titles;
variations in sales of titles developed for particular  platforms;  the size and
growth rate of the interactive  entertainment software market; market acceptance
of the Company's  titles;  development and promotional  expenses relating to the
introduction  of  new  titles,  sequels  or  enhancements  of  existing  titles;
projected  and actual  changes  in  platforms;  the timing and  success of title
introductions by the Company's competitors;  product returns; changes in pricing
policies  by the  Company  and  its  competitors;  the  accuracy  of  retailers'
forecasts of consumer demand; the size and timing of acquisitions; the timing of
orders from major customers; and order cancellations and delays in shipment.

Sales of the  Company's  titles  are  seasonal,  with peak  shipments  typically
occurring in the fourth calendar  quarter (the Company's fourth and first fiscal
quarter) as a result of increased  demand for titles during the year-end holiday
season.

International Operations

Sales in  international  markets,  primarily  in the  United  Kingdom  and other
countries  in Europe and the  Pacific  Rim,  have  accounted  for an  increasing
portion of the Company's  revenues.  For the six months ended April 30, 1998 and
1999,  sales in  international  markets  accounted for  approximately  15.5% and
27.7%, respectively,  of the Company's revenues. The Company is subject to risks
inherent in foreign trade, including increased credit risks, tariffs and duties,
fluctuations  in  foreign   currency   exchange   rates,   shipping  delays  and
international political,  regulatory and economic developments, all of which can
have a significant impact on the Company's  operating  results.  Sales in France
and Germany are made in local currencies. The Company does not engage in foreign
currency hedging transactions.

Year 2000

The inability of many existing  computers to recognize and properly process data
as the Year 2000  approaches may cause many computer  software  applications  to
fail or reach erroneous results. Computer-controlled systems with time sensitive
components that use two digits to define years may experience system failures or
disruptions to operations as a result.



<PAGE>


The Company has assessed potential issues that may result from the Year 2000 and
is in the process of upgrading its accounting and management software, which the
Company  expects to complete by June 1999.  Based on the  Companies  preliminary
assessment,  the Company believes its PC products to be Year 2000 compliant. The
Company  does  not  contemplate  incurring  material  costs in  connection  with
ensuring Year 2000 readiness.

The Company has  contacted  principal  third-party  suppliers  and  customers to
determine  their  Year 2000  readiness  and  believes  that such  suppliers  and
customers  are in the  process of becoming  Year 2000  compliant.  However,  the
Company's  failure or the  failure of the  Company's  third-party  suppliers  or
customers  to  correct  a  material   Year  2000  problem  could  result  in  an
interruption in, or a failure of, certain of the Company's business  operations.
The Company has not yet adopted a Year 2000 contingency plan.
