1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of FileNET Corporation (the "Company") reflect
         adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
         Company at June 30, 2001, the results of its operations, and its comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six
         month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 and its cash flows for the six month periods  ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.
         Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted
         pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), although the Company believes that
         the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements are adequate to ensure the information presented is not
         misleading.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
         statements and notes thereto, and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
         contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 and the Company's
         Quarterly Report on Form 10Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2001.  The results of operations for the interim periods
         are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year.

         Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's consolidated financial statements to conform with the
         current year's presentation.


2.       RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
         ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."  SFAS No. 133 as amended, is effective
         for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.  SFAS 133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards
         for derivative instruments including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts that were not formerly
         considered derivatives and now may meet the definition of a derivative. Additionally, this standard will require the
         Company to record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.  For derivatives that are hedges, changes in the
         fair value of derivatives will be offset by the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm
         commitments. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2001 with no significant effect  to the results of
         operations, financial position, or cash flows.

         In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations", which is effective immediately.  SFAS
         No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after
         June 30, 2001 and eliminates the pooling-of-interests method.  The Company does not believe that the adoption
         of this standard will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

         In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which is effective
         for the Company January 1, 2002.  SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and other intangible assests with indefinite
         useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually.  The Company is currently
         assessing but has not yet determined the impact of SFAS No. 142 on its financial position and results of operations.


3.       EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

         Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number
         of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss)
         by the weighted average number of common shares plus the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and shares

                                                                7


         issuable under the employee stock purchase plan using the treasury stock method.  The dilutive loss per share excludes
         these adjustments as the impact would be antidilutive.  The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted
         earnings (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000:


                                             Three months ended June 30,            Six months ended June 30,

4.       ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

         In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."  SFAS No. 130 requires enterprises to
         report comprehensive income and its components in general-purpose financial statements.  SFAS No. 130 was effective for
         the Company beginning January 1, 1998.  Accordingly, the Company has prepared Statements of Comprehensive Operations

5.       OPERATING SEGMENT DATA

         The Company has prepared operating segment information in accordance with SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of
         An Enterprise and Related Information," to report components that are evaluated regularly by the Company's chief
         operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
         The Company is organized geographically and by line of business.  The line of business management structure is the
         primary basis for which financial performance is assessed and resources allocated.

         The Company's reportable operating segments include Software, Hardware, Customer Support, and Professional Services and
         Education.  The Software operating segment develops and markets the Company's line of Business Process Management
         solutions for the Enterprise Content Management and Collaborative Commerce markets. The Hardware operating segment
         manufactures and markets the Company's line of Optical Storage And Retrieval ("OSAR") libraries.  The Customer Support
         segment provides after-sale support for software, as well as providing software upgrades pursuant to the Company's
         right to new versions program.  The Professional Services and Education segment provides fee-based implementation and
         technical services related to the Company's software products and provides training.

                                                                8


         The financial results of the segments reflect allocation of certain functional expense categories consistent with the
         basis and manner in which Company management internally disaggregates financial information for the purpose of assisting
         in making internal operating decisions which are not the same as GAAP reporting.  The Company evaluates performance
         based on stand-alone segment operating results.  Because the Company does not evaluate performance based on the return
         on assets at the operating segment level, assets are not tracked internally by segment.  Therefore, segment asset
         information is not presented.

         Operating segments data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 are as follows:

6.       LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         In October 1994, Wang Laboratories, Inc. ("Wang") filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District
         of Massachusetts alleging that the Company is infringing five patents held by Wang (the "FileNET Case").  On June 23,
         1995, Wang amended its complaint to include an additional related patent.  On July 2, 1996, Wang filed a complaint in
         the same court alleging that Watermark Software Inc., formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary that was merged with the
         Company, is infringing three of the same patents asserted in the initial complaint (the "Watermark Case"). On October 9,
         1996, Wang withdrew its claim in the FileNET Case that one of the patents it initially asserted is infringed.

         On January 8, 1997, the courts stayed the Watermark Case, subject to limited exceptions for certain discovery.

         In March 1997, Eastman Kodak Company purchased the Wang imaging business unit that has responsibility for this
         litigation.  On July 30, 1997, the Court permitted Eastman and Kodak Limited of England to be substituted in the FileNET
         Case in place of Wang.  On April 24, 2001, the Court permitted Eastman and Kodak Limited to be substituted in the
         Watermark Case in place of Wang.

         In the FileNET Case, the Company moved for summary judgment on noninfringement as to each of the five patents in the
         suit, and for summary judgment or invalidity as to one of the patents.  Eastman moved for summary judgment as to the
         Company's unenforceability defense on one of the patents.  In July 1998, the Magistrate Judge assigned to the case heard
         oral arguments on the Company's motion for summary judgment that U.S. Patent 4,918,5688 is not infringed and is
         invalid.  On June 29, 2001, the Magistrate Judge recommended to the Court that this summary judgment motion be denied.
         The Court has not acted on this recommendation.

                                                                9


         The products at issue in the Watermark Case were phased out as of December 31, 1999.  The Company understands that an
         affiliate of Kodak may contend that based on an agreement with Eastman Kodak Company, it has the right to pursue certain
         other Kodak claims in the Watermark Case regarding Watermark products sold prior to the phase out in December 1999.

         The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to any such claim; however, the ultimate outcome of any resulting
         potential loss cannot be determined at this time.

         Effective June 30, 2001, the Company and Eastman Kodak Company, the parent of Eastman Software, entered into an
         agreement that settled the FileNET Case.  In accordance with that settlement agreement, the parties filed on
         July 5, 2001, a stipulation dismissing the FileNET Case.

         As of December 31, 2000 the Company had accrued a $2.5 million liability for potential settlement costs and other
         expenses in connection with these claims.  An additional $4.0 million charge to the financial statements was made in
         June 2001 in connection with the aforementioned legal matters.

         Subsequent to December 31, 1998, the former shareholders of Saros Corporation filed a demand for mandatory arbitration
         to release approximately 375,700 shares of the Company's stock which were held in escrow pursuant to the Agreement and
         Plan of Merger dated January 17, 1996 among FileNET Corporation, FileNET Acquisition Corporation and Saros Corporation
         and for damages.  The Company and the Shareholders' Agent had agreed to mediate the matter, but the Saros Shareholders'
         Agent cancelled the mediation prior to the scheduled date and renewed their demand for mandatory arbitration.  A
         binding arbitration proceeding took place during the period March 5, 2001 through March 23, 2001.  On April 24, 2001
         the arbitrators issued an interim decision denying all claims asserted by the Shareholders' Agent against the Company,
         sustaining all claims asserted by the Company, and awarding all of the shares of stock held in escrow to the Company.
         On June 7, 2001 the arbitrators issued a final award which reiterated the principal rulings set forth in the interim
         decision and awarded all of the stock held in the escrow to the Company.  The final award further determined that the
         escrowed shares provide the exclusive source for the Company's recovery of its attorneys' fees and costs from the
         former stockholders of Saros.  These shares will be retired when the Company receives the certificates from the escrow
         agent.

         In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various other legal matters.  While the results of
         litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the final outcome of these other
         matters will not have a materially adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations or financial condition.


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and is subject to the safe harbors created by those sections. These forward-looking statements are subject to
a number of risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and in the notes to our financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2000.  The actual results that we achieve may differ materially from any forward-looking statements, which
reflect management's opinions only as of the date hereof.  We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results
of any revisions to these forward-looking statements.  Readers should carefully review the risk factors described below and in
other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2001.

Overview

FileNET Corporation develops, markets and services Business Process Management solutions for the Enterprise Content Management
and Collaborative Commerce markets.  Our enterprise software solutions enable organizations to improve operational efficiency
and leverage their content resources by delivering efficient, flexible, and scalable eBusiness process solutions.  By linking
customers, business partners, suppliers, and employees, our software solutions help organizations increase productivity,

                                                               10


customer satisfaction, and revenue.  We also offer professional services and training for the implementation of these software
solutions, as well as 24 x 7 technical support and services to our customers on a global basis.

Revenue from sales of software licenses, which generally do not contain multiple elements, are recognized upon shipment of the
related product if the requirements of Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, as amended, are met.  If the requirements of SOP
97-2, including evidence of an arrangement, delivery, fixed or determinable fee, collectibility or vendor-specific evidence
about the value of an element are not met at the date of shipment, revenue recognition is deferred until such elements are known
or resolved.  We recognize other revenue at the time of product delivery and accrue any remaining costs, including insignificant
vendor obligations. Revenue from post-contract customer support is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Revenue
from professional services is recognized as such services are delivered and accepted by the customer.

We expense research and development costs as incurred.  No amounts are required to be capitalized in accordance with SFAS No.
86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed," because software is substantially
completed concurrently with the establishment of technological feasibility.

In April 2001, we announced measures to reduce our workforce and scale back certain facilities in the Far East.  This facility
scale back and reduction of 146 employees and contractors worldwide resulted in a one-time charge of  $2.4 million during the
second quarter of fiscal 2001.  This charge was recorded in the following income statement categories; $800,000 in cost of
service revenue, $300,000 in research and development, and $1.3 million in selling, general and administrative.  A charge of
$4.0 million was recorded in other income (loss) during the second quarter of fiscal 2001 related to matters discussed in Legal
Proceedings.  A $2.0 million charge was recorded in product development for bonus payments associated with the Applications
Partners, Inc. ("API") acquisition from last year.

Revenue

Total revenue was $82.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and $95.1 million for the comparable three months ended
June 30, 2000, representing a decrease of $12.9 million, or 14%.  Total revenue was $166.2 million for the six months ended June
30, 2001 and $187.9 million for the comparable six months ended June 30, 2000, representing a decrease of $21.7 million, or
12%.  The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to lower software revenue as discussed below.

Software revenue consists of fees earned from the licensing of our software products to customers.  Software revenue decreased
by 42%, or $20.8 million, to $28.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $49.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2000; and decreased by 37%, or $36.2 million, to $61.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $97.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  Software revenue represented 35.0% of total revenue for the three months ended
June 30, 2001 compared to 52.2% for the comparable period of 2000, and 37.0% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30,
2001 compared to 52.0% for the comparable period of 2000.  The decrease in software revenue was primarily due to the significant
economic slowdown in the technology sector which resulted in a significant reduction in the amount and size of customer orders.
Due to poor visibility as a result of the current economic environment, we are not currently able to assess the likely trend of
software revenue in future periods.

Customer support revenue consists of revenue from software maintenance contracts, "fee for service" revenues and the sale of
spare parts and supplies.   Customer support revenue increased by 21%, or $5.7 million, to $32.7 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2001 from $27.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, and increased by 16%, or $8.7 million, to $61.8
million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $53.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  Customer support
revenue represented 39.8% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 28.4% for the comparable period
of 2000, and represented 37.2% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 28.3% for the comparable
period of 2000.   The increase in customer support revenue was primarily due to the growth in our base of customers who receive
ongoing maintenance as a result of new customer sales and sales of additional products to our installed base.  However, a prolonged
economic slowdown will result in a decrease in the growth rate of customer support revenue.

Professional services and education revenue is generated primarily from consulting and implementation services provided to end
users of our software products, technical consulting services provided to our resellers and training services.  Professional
services are generally performed on a time and material basis.  Professional services and education revenue increased by 33%, or
$4.5 million, to $18.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $13.7 million for the three months ended June 30,
2000, and increased 29%, or $7.7 million, to $34.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $27.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000.  Professional services and education revenue represented 22.1% for the three months ended June 30,
2001 compared to 14.4% for the comparable period in 2000, and represented 21.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared
to 14.4% for the comparable period in 2000.  The increase in professional services and education revenue was primarily
attributable to an increase in custom development projects and an increase in sales of prepackaged service offerings, which
include both consulting and training.  As part of our business plan, we have focused on expanding our professional services
capabilities to support our solutions and applications strategy and we plan to continue such focus.  However, a prolonged economic
slowdown will result in a decrease in the growth rate of professional services and education revenue.

Hardware revenue is generated primarily from the sale of 12-inch Optical Storage And Retrieval("OSAR")libraries.  Hardware revenue
decreased by 46%, or $2.2 million, to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $4.8 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2000, and decreased by 20%, or $2.0 million, to $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $10.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  Hardware revenue represented 3.1% of total revenues for the three months ended
June 30, 2001 compared to 5.0% for the comparable period of 2000, and represented 4.8% of total revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 2001 compared to 5.3% for the comparable period of 2000.  Although we anticipated hardware revenue to remain relatively
constant quarter to quarter in 2001, the economic downturn caused a reduction in orders for the OSAR product in the three months
ended June 30, 2001 resulting in decreased hardware revenue for this period.  We expect hardware to diminish as a percentage of
sales going forward.

                                                               12


International revenue accounted for 22% of total revenue, or $18.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 25% of
total revenue, or $23.8 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2000.  International revenue accounted for 27% of total
revenue, or $44.6 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2001, and 26% of total revenue, or $49.7 million, for the six
months ended June 30, 2000.  The decrease in international revenue is primarily attributable to a significant decrease in
international software revenue in Europe for the quarter ending June 30, 2001.  This decrease is a result of a significant
reduction in the amount and size of customer orders in Europe due to a major slowdown in IT spending. Europe is our largest
international market and with this current market downturn, we anticipate international revenues will be below prior year results
for the foreseeable future.

Cost of Revenue

Total cost of revenue  decreased  to $30.5  million  for the three  months  ended June 30,  2001 from $30.9  million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000,  representing  a decrease of $0.4 million,  or 1%. For the six months ended June 30, 2001,  total cost
of revenue  increased to $64.5  million from $61.2  million for the six months  ended June 30, 2000,  representing  an increase of
$3.3  million,  or 5%. A one-time  workforce  reduction  charge of $800K was  recorded  in cost of service  revenue  for the three
months ended June 30, 2001.

Cost of software  revenue  includes  royalties paid to third  parties,  media costs,  and the cost to  manufacture  and distribute
software.  The cost of  software  revenue  decreased  by 66% to $1.4  million for the three  months  ended June 30, 2001 from $4.0
million for the three  months  ended June 30,  2000,  and  decreased by 57% to $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001
from $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  These costs  represented 5% and 8% of the related  software revenue for
the three  months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,  respectively,  and 6% and 8% of the related  software  revenue for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,  respectively.  The  decrease in absolute  dollars is directly  related to  decreased  revenue.  The
decrease as a percentage of software revenue is primarily  attributable to lower fixed  distribution  costs as well as a reduction
in royalty costs related to the mix of products containing third party licenses.

Cost of customer support revenue includes costs of customer support  personnel,  cost of supplies and spare parts, and the cost of
third-party  hardware  maintenance.  The cost of customer  support  revenue  increased by 3% to $11.5 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2001 from $11.2  million for the three  months ended June 30, 2000,  and  increased by 3% to $23.5  million for the
six months ended June 30, 2001 from $22.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  These costs  represented 35% and 41% of
the related  customer  support  revenue for the three  months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,  respectively,  and 38% and 43% of the
related  customer  support  revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,  respectively.  This decrease as a percentage
of customer support revenue is primarily  attributable to process  improvement that allowed growth in the customer base generating
increased revenue without a proportional increase in support personnel and cost.

Cost of professional  services and education  revenue consists  primarily of costs of professional  services  personnel,  training
personnel,  and  third-party  contractors.  The cost of  professional  services and  education  revenue  increased by 32% to $15.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $11.9  million for the three  months ended June 30, 2000,  and  increased by
38% to $32.3  million for the six months  ended June 30, 2001 from $23.4  million for the six months  ended June 30,  2000.  These
costs  represented  87% of the related  professional  services and education  revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
2000,  respectively,  and 93% and 86% of the related professional services and education revenue for the six months ended June 30,
2001 and  2000,  respectively.  This  increase  in cost as a  percentage  of  revenue  for the six month  period  year to year was
primarily  due to growth in personnel to support  expected  increases in  deployment  of  applications  and  solutions,  with such
associated  expense  not fully  absorbed  by  increases  in revenue.  However,  cost as a percent of revenue for the three  months
ended June 30, 2001  compared to the same three  months in 2000  indicate  that  increases  in revenue are  reaching a level where
these cost increases are being absorbed.

Cost of hardware  revenue  includes  the cost of  assembling  and  distributing  our OSAR library  products,  the cost of hardware
integration  personnel,  and warranty costs.  The cost of hardware  revenue  decreased by 52% to $1.8 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2001 from $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000,  and  decreased by 25% to $5.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  These costs  represented  72% and 80% of the
related  hardware  revenue  for the three  months  ended  June 30,  2001 and 2000,  respectively,  and 67% and 71% of the  related
hardware  revenue for the six months  ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,  respectively.  The  decreased  cost of hardware  revenue as a
percentage of hardware revenue was primarily due to decreased production expenses.

                                                            13


Operating Expenses

Research and development expense primarily consists of costs of personnel to support product development.  Research and
development expense increased by 40% to $19.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $13.9 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000, and represented 23.8% and 14.7% of total revenue for these respective periods. Research and
development expense increased 27% to $35.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $28.1 million for the six months
ended June 30 2000, and represented  21.4% and 14.9% of total revenue for these respective periods.  This increase in absolute
dollars in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 over the comparable period in 2000 was primarily due to a one
time charge of $2.0 million for bonuses related to the May 2000 acquisition of Applications Partners Incorporated ("API"), a
one-time workforce reduction charge of $300,000, increased salary expense as a result of competition in the market for software
engineers and increased consulting expense due to greater use of contract developers as we aggressively develop new products.
The increase in research and development costs as a percentage of total revenue for these same periods is directly related to
the decrease in total revenues for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 compared to June 30, 2000, as described
above with no significant reduction in research and development costs.

We expect that competition for qualified technical personnel will remain intense for the foreseeable future and may result in
higher levels of compensation expense for us. We believe that research and development expenditures, including compensation of
technical personnel, are essential to maintaining our competitive position and expect these costs will continue to constitute a
significant percentage of total revenue.

Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries, benefits, sales commissions and other expenses
related to the direct and in-direct sales force; various marketing expenses; the cost of other market development programs;
personnel costs for finance, information technology, legal, human resources and general management; and the cost of outside
professional services.  Selling, general and administrative expense increased by 10% to $43.6 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2001 from $39.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, and represented 53.1% and 41.6% of total revenue for
these respective periods. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 8% to $86.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2001 from $80.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and represented 52.2% and 42.9% of total revenue for
these respective periods.  The increase in absolute dollars for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 over the comparable
period in 2000 was primarily a result of increases in salaries, IT and facility expenses, goodwill, consulting and
bad debt expense.  A one-time charge in June 2001 of $1.3 million for workforce reduction is included in salary expense.  The
increase in selling, general and administrative expense as a percent of total revenue for these same periods is primarily due to
a lower revenue base for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 compared to June 30, 2000, with no significant
reduction in these costs.

Amortization of Intangibles and In-process Research and Development

In connection with our acquisition of certain assets from API on May 18, 2000, the purchase price amount allocated to goodwill
of $14.6 million is being amortized over a useful life of five years and assembled workforce of $386,000 is being amortized over
a useful life of three years. These costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative and are presented in the following
table:


                                             Three months ended June 30,           Six months ended June 30,
                                         ------------------------------------  -----------------------------------
                                               2001               2000               2001              2000
                                         ------------------ -----------------  ----------------- -----------------
Amortization of purchased intangibles        $  762            $   254           $  1,539            $  254

Based upon an independent third party appraisal, $3.0 million of the purchase price was allocated to in-process research and
development which was immediately expensed.  The in-process research and development expenses related to new product projects
that were under development at the date of the acquisition and were expected to eventually lead to new products but had not yet
established feasibility and for which no future alternative use was identified.  The valuation of the in-process research and
development projects was based upon the discounted expected future net cash flows of the products over their expected life,
reflecting the estimated percentage of completion of the projects and an estimate of the costs to complete the projects.  New
product development projects underway at API at the time of the acquisition included Sequis, an eService application which we
estimated to be 88% complete at the date of the acquisition. The cost to complete the project was estimated at $300,000, which
was expected to be incurred over a three-month period.  We incurred approximately $356,000 of research and development expenses
related to the project, which was 100% complete as of September 30, 2000.

                                                               14


Other Income (Loss), Net

Other income  (loss),  net consists  primarily of interest  income  earned on our cash and cash  equivalents,  short and long-term
investments,  and other items including  foreign  exchange gains and losses,  the gain on sale of fixed assets,  legal  settlement
costs, and interest  expense.  Other loss, net was $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to other income,
net of $1.3  million for the three  months  ended June 30,  2001.  Other loss,  net was $166,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2001  compared to other  income,  net of $2.5  million for the six months  ended June 30,  2000.  The loss in the 2001 periods was
primarily attributable to a one time charge of $4.0 million in the second quarter for legal costs offset by increases in interest
income directly related to higher cash balances and a net foreign exchange gain.

Income Taxes

Our combined federal, state and foreign annual effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2001, was 19% compared to
22% for the comparable period in 2000.   The combined federal, state and foreign annual tax rate for the six months ended
June 30, 2001, was 22% compared to 23% for the comparable period in 2000.  FileNET management will continue weighing
various evidence throughout the year to assess the recoverability of its recorded deferred assets and the need for any valuation
allowance against such amounts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2001, combined cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $157.7 million, an increase of $18.3 million from
December 31, 2000.  Cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2001 totaled $25.7 million and
resulted primarily from a significant decrease in accounts receivable, an increase in unearned maintenance revenue related to
prepaid maintenance contracts, increases in customer advances; and additions to net income for depreciation and amortization
expense offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued compensation and benefits.  Cash used by investing activities
totaled $42.4 million and was a result of capital expenditures of $9.8 million and net purchases of marketable securities of
$32.7 million.  Cash provided by financing activities totaled $5.5 million and was a result of proceeds received from the
exercise of employee stock options and stock purchases under the employee stock purchase plan.

Accounts receivable decreased to $58.6 million at June 30, 2001 from $90.2 million at December 31, 2000.  This decrease is
primarily a result of decreased revenue.  Current liabilities increased to $92.2 million at June 30, 2001 from $91.9 million at
December 31, 2000.  The increase in current liabilities is primarily a result of increases in unearned maintenance revenue and
other accrued liabilities, which include customer deposits and advances and a reserve for legal settlements, offset by decreases
in accounts payable, accrued compensation and benefits and income tax payable.

We have a $ 5,000,000 Multi-currency revolving line of credit available for one year until June 28, 2002.  Borrowings under the
arrangement are unsecured and bear interest at one hundred and twenty basis points over the London Interbank Offered Rate.  A
commitment fee of twenty-five basis points is assessed against any undrawn amounts.  There were no borrowings outstanding at
June 30, 2001.

We anticipate that our present cash balances together with internally generated funds and credit lines will be sufficient to
meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next twelve months.

Other Financial Instruments

We enter into forward foreign exchange contracts as a hedge against the effects of fluctuating currency exchange rates on
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the relevant entity.  We are
exposed to market risk on the forward exchange contracts as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates; however, the market
risk should be offset by changes in the valuation of the underlying exposures.  Gains and losses on these contracts, which equal
the difference between the forward contract rate and the prevailing market spot rate at the time of
valuation, are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.  The counterparties to these contracts are major
financial institutions.  We use commercial rating agencies to evaluate the credit quality of the counterparties.  We do not
anticipate a material loss resulting from any credit risks related to any of these institutions.

                                                               15


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."  SFAS No. 133 as amended, is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000.  SFAS 133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts that were not formerly considered derivatives and now may
meet the definition of a derivative. Additionally, this standard will require us to record all derivatives on the balance sheet
at fair value.  For derivatives that are hedges, changes in the fair value of derivatives will be offset by the change in fair
value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2001 with no
significant effect to the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations", which is effective immediately.  SFAS No. 141 requires that
the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and eliminates the
pooling-of-interests method.  We do not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a significant impact on our
consolidated financial statements.

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which is effective
for the Company January 1, 2002.  SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and other intangible assests with indefinite useful lives
no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually.  We are currently assessing but have not yet
determined the impact of SFAS No. 142 on our financial position and results of operations.

Other Matters

European Monetary Union.   On January 1, 1999, 11 of the 15 member countries of the European Union established fixed conversion
rates between their existing sovereign currencies and the EURO.  These countries have agreed to adopt the EURO as their common
legal currency from that date.  These countries will issue sovereign debt exclusively in EURO and will re-denominate outstanding
sovereign debt.  Effective on this date, these countries no longer control their own monetary policies by directing independent
interest rates for the legacy currencies.  Instead, the authority to direct monetary policy, including money supply and official
interest rates for the EURO, is exercised by the new European Central Bank.

The legacy currencies will remain legal tender in these countries as a denomination of the EURO between January 1, 1999 and
January 1, 2002.  During this transition period, public and private parties may pay for goods and services using either the EURO
or the country's legacy currency on a "no compulsion, no prohibition" basis.  However, conversion rates no longer will be
computed directly from one legacy currency to another.  Instead, a "triangulation" process will be applied whereby an amount
denominated in one legacy currency first will be converted into an amount denominated in EURO, and the resultant
EURO-denominated amount is converted into the second legacy currency.

We have made the necessary interim changes to our internal business systems to support transactions denominated in the EURO,
including establishing EURO price lists for affected countries.  A plan to complete the system changes to fully implement EURO
reporting requirements is on schedule for the third quarter of this year. We have evaluated the impact the conversion to the
EURO will have on our financial condition and results of operations.  Based on this evaluation to date, we currently do not
believe that there will be a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations as a result of the EURO
conversion.

>Environmental Matters.  We are not aware of any issues related to environmental matters that have, or are expected to have, a
material affect on our business.

Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results

Our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects can be impacted by a number of factors, including but not
limited to those set forth below and elsewhere in this report, any one of which could cause our actual results to differ
materially from recent results or from our anticipated future results.  Factors that may affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations include:

Current  Economic  Conditions  May Affect  Results.  During the first six months of 2001,  we  experienced  a decrease in software
revenue.  We believe  that this  decrease is  primarily  due to a macro  economic  slow down which  spread to Europe in the second
quarter and may continue.  The slowdown has decreased our visibility and increased the risk to our revenue stream.

                                                               16


Our Quarterly Operating Results May Fluctuate in Future Periods. Prior growth rates in our revenue and operating results should
not necessarily be considered indicative of future growth or operating results.   Our operating results have fluctuated in the
past and we anticipate our future operating results will continue to fluctuate due to many factors, some of which are largely
beyond our control.  These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

     o   the industry-wide slow down in IT spending and our diminished sales visibility;
     o   the discretionary nature of our customers' budget and purchase cycles and the absence of long-term customer purchase
         commitments;
     o   the tendency to realize a substantial percentage of  our revenue in the last weeks, or even days, of each quarter;
     o   the potential for delays or deferrals of customer orders;
     o   the budget cycles of our customers;
     o   the size, complexity and timing of individual transactions;
     o   changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of the EURO currency;
     o   general domestic and international economic and political conditions;
     o   the length of our sales cycle;
     o   variations in the productivity of our sales force;
     o   the level of software product sold and price competition;
     o   the timing of new software introductions and software enhancements by us and our competitors;
     o   the mix of sales by products, software, services and distribution channels;
     o   acquisitions by us and our competitors;
     o   our ability to develop and market new software products and control costs;
     o   the quality of our customer support; and
     o   the level of international sales.

The decision to implement our products is subject to each customer's resources and budget availability.  Our quarterly sales
generally include a mix of medium sized orders, along with several large individual orders, and as a result, the loss or delay
of an individual large order could have a significant impact on our quarterly operating results and revenue.  Our operating
expenses are based on projected revenue trends and are generally fixed.  Therefore, any shortfall from projected revenue may
cause significant fluctuations in operating results from quarter to quarter.  As a result of these factors, revenues and
operating results for any quarter are subject to fluctuations and are not predictable with any significant degree of accuracy.
Therefore, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations should not be relied upon as indications of
future performance.  Moreover, such factors could cause our operating results in a given quarter to be below the expectations of
public market analysts and investors.  In either case, the price of our common stock could decline materially.

The Markets in Which We Operate Are Highly Competitive.  The markets we serve are highly competitive and we expect competition
to intensify. Our future financial performance will depend primarily on the continued growth of the markets for our software
products and services as well as the purchase of our products by customers in these markets.  If the markets we serve fail to
grow or grow more slowly than we currently anticipate, our business, financial condition and operating results would be harmed.
These intensely competitive markets are highly fragmented and rapidly changing and there are certain competitors of ours with
substantially greater sales, marketing, development and financial resources.  Our present or future competitors may be able to
develop software products comparable or superior to those offered by us, offer lower priced products or adapt more quickly than
we do to new technologies or evolving customer requirements. In order to be successful in the future, we must respond to
technological change, customer requirements and competitors' current software products and innovations. We cannot assure you
that we will be able to continue to compete effectively in our target markets or that future competition will not have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.  In addition, current and potential
competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the
ability of their products to address the needs of the markets we serve.  Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors or
alliances among competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share.  Increased competition may result in price
reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition or results of operations.

                                                               17


We Must Develop and Sell New Products in Order to Keep Up With Rapid Technological Change.  The market for our software and
services is characterized by rapid technological developments, evolving industry standards, changes in customer requirements and
frequent new product introductions and enhancements.  Our ability to continue to sell products will be dependent upon our
ability to continue to enhance our existing software and services offerings, develop and introduce, in a timely manner, new
software products incorporating technological advances and respond to customer requirements. Our future success also depends, in
part, on our ability to execute on our strategy of developing Business Process Management solutions for the Enterprise Content
Management and Collaborative Commerce markets.  This strategy may require us to develop and maintain relations with technology
partners.  We may not be successful in maintaining these relationships or in developing, marketing and releasing new products or
new versions of our products that respond to technological developments, evolving industry standards or changing customer
requirements.  We may also experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction and sale
of these products and enhancements.  In addition, these products and enhancements may not adequately meet the requirements of
the marketplace and may not achieve any significant degree of market acceptance.  If we fail to successfully maintain or
establish  relationships with  technology partners or to execute on our integrated product solution strategy, or if release
dates of any future products or enhancements are delayed, or if these products or enhancements fail to achieve market acceptance
when released, our business operating results and financial condition  could be materially harmed.  In the past, we have
experienced delays in the release dates of enhancements and new releases to our products and we cannot assure you that we will
not experience significant future delays in product introduction. From time to time, we or our competitors may announce new
software products, capabilities or technologies that have the potential to replace or shorten the life cycles of our existing
software products.  We cannot assure you that announcements of currently planned or other new software products will not cause
customers to delay their purchasing decisions in anticipation of such software products, and such delays could have a material
adverse effect on our business and operating results.

Protection of Our Intellectual Property and Other Proprietary Rights is Limited and There is Risk of Third-Party Claims of
Infringement.   Our success depends, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary rights to the technologies used in our
principal products.  We rely on a combination of copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and
contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights in our software products.  We cannot assure you that our existing or
future copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights will have sufficient scope or strength to
provide meaningful protection or a commercial advantage to us.  We currently have no software patents.  In addition, the laws of
some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.  Our
inability to protect our intellectual property may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or
results of operations.

We may, from time to time, be notified that we are infringing certain patent or intellectual property rights of others. While
there are no material actions, other than those discussed in this report, currently pending against us for infringement of
patent or other proprietary rights of third parties, we cannot assure you that third parties will not initiate infringement
actions against us in the future. Combinations of technology acquired through past or future acquisitions and our technology
will create new software products and technology that also may give rise to claims of infringement.  Infringement actions can
result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, regardless of the merits of the actions. If we were found to infringe
upon the rights of others, we cannot assure that we could redesign the infringing products or could obtain licenses on
acceptable terms, if at all.  Additionally, significant damages for past infringement could be assessed or future litigation
relative to any such licenses or usage could occur. An adverse disposition of any claims or the advent of litigation arising out
of any claims of infringement, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We Depend on Certain Strategic Relationships.  In order to expand the distribution of our products and broaden our product
offerings, we have established strategic relationships with a number of indirect channel partners and other consultants that
provide marketing and sales opportunities for us. We have entered into key formal and informal agreements with other companies
such as CrossWorlds, Hewlett-Packard Company, IBM Global Services, Microsoft Corporation, SAP AG, Siebel Systems Inc, Sun
Microsystems, Inc., and Vignette Corporation.  Certain of these agreements do not have minimum purchase requirements and/or are
cancelable at will.  We cannot assure you that these companies will not reduce or discontinue their relationships with, or
support of, FileNET and our products. Our failure to maintain these relationships, or to establish new relationships in the
future, could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We currently license certain software from third parties, including software that is integrated with internally developed
software and used in our products to perform key functions.  In the past, we have had difficulty renewing certain licenses.  The
failure to continue to maintain these licenses would prohibit us from selling certain products. We cannot assure you that such
third parties will remain in business, that they will continue to support their software products or that their software

                                                               18


products will continue to be available to us on acceptable terms.  The loss or inability to maintain any of these software
licenses could result in shipment delays or reductions in software shipments until equivalent software can be developed,
identified, licensed, and integrated.  This could adversely affect our business,  financial condition or results of operations.

We Must Retain and Attract Key Executives and Personnel.  Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued
contributions of our key management,  as well as other marketing, technical and operational personnel.    The loss of the
services of one or more key employees could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.  We also believe our future
success will depend in large part upon our ability to attract and retain additional highly skilled management, technical,
marketing, product development and operational personnel and consultants.  Competition for such personnel, particularly software
developers, professional service consultants and other technical personnel, is intense, and pay scales in the software industry
have significantly increased.  We cannot assure you that in the future we will be successful in attracting and retaining such
personnel.

We are Subject to Many Risks Internationally.  Historically, we have derived approximately [30%] of our total revenue from
international sales through our worldwide network of subsidiaries and channel partners.  International business is subject to
certain risks including, but not limited to, the following:

     o   tariffs and trade barriers;
     o   varying technical standards;
     o   political and economic instability;
     o   reduced protection for intellectual property rights in certain countries;
     o   difficulties in staffing and maintaining foreign operations;
     o   difficulties in managing foreign distributors;
     o   varying requirements for localized products;
     o   potentially adverse tax consequences;
     o   currency restrictions and currency exchange fluctuations including those related to the EURO;
     o   the burden of complying with a wide variety of complex foreign laws, regulations and treaties;
     o   adoption of the EURO and uncertainties surrounding the EURO conversion;
     o   the possibility of difficulties in collecting accounts receivable; and
     o   longer payment cycles.

Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations in the
future.

Our Business Will Suffer if Our Software Contains Errors.  Software and products as complex as those we sell are susceptible to
errors or failures, especially when first introduced or when new versions are released.  Our software products are often
intended for use in applications that are critical to a customer's business.  As a result, our customers may rely on the
effective performance of our software to a greater extent than the market for software products generally.  Despite internal
testing and testing by current and potential customers, new products or enhancements may contain undetected errors or
performance problems that are discovered only after a product has been installed and used by customers. Errors or performance
problems could cause delays in product introduction and shipments or could require design modifications, either of which could
lead to a loss in or delay in revenue.  These problems could cause a diversion of development resources, harm our reputation or
result in increased service or warranty costs, or require the payment of monetary damages, any of which could harm our business,
operating results and financial condition. While our license agreements with customers typically contain provisions designed to
limit our exposure to potential product liability claims, it is possible that such limitation of liability provisions may not be
effective under the laws of certain jurisdictions.

Our Stock Price Has Been and May Continue to Be Volatile.  The trading price of our common stock has fluctuated in the past and
is subject to significant fluctuations in response to the following factors, among others, some of which are beyond our control:

     o   variations in quarterly operating results;
     o   fluctuations in our order levels;
     o   changes in earnings estimates by analysts;
     o   announcements of technological innovations or new products or product enhancements by us or our competitors;
     o   key management changes;

                                                               19


     o   changes in joint marketing and development programs;
     o   developments relating to patents or other intellectual property rights or disputes;
     o   developments in our relationships with our customers, resellers and suppliers;
     o   our announcements of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures;
     o   general conditions in the software and computer industries;
     o   fluctuations in general stock market prices and volume, which are particularly common among highly volatile securities
         of Internet and software companies; and
     o   other general economic and market conditions.

In recent years, the stock market, in general, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the
market price for many companies in industries similar  to ours.  Some of these fluctuations have been unrelated to the operating
performance of the affected companies.  These market fluctuations may decrease the market price of our common stock in the
future.

Acquisitions of Companies or Technologies May Result in Disruptions to Our Business and Diversion of Management Attention.
As part of our business strategy, we frequently evaluate strategic acquisition opportunities.  We anticipate that our future growth
may depend in part on our ability to identify and acquire complementary businesses, technologies or product lines.  Acquisitions
involve significant risks and could divert management's attention from the day-to-day operations of our ongoing business.
Additionally, such acquisitions may include numerous other risks, including, but not limited to the following:

     o   difficulties in the integration of the operations, products and personnel of the acquired companies;
     o   the incurrence of debt and amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets or any other unforeseen
         adverse accounting treatment;
     o   liabilities and risks that are not known or identifiable at the time of the acquisition;
     o   the potential loss of current customers and/or retention of the acquired company's customers; and
     o   the potential loss of key personnel of the acquired company.

If we fail to successfully manage future acquisitions or fully integrate future acquired businesses, products or technologies
with our existing operations, we may not receive the intended benefits of the acquisitions and such acquisitions may harm our
business and financial results.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio. We have not used
derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio.  We place our investments with high-quality issuers and, by
policy, limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. We protect and preserve our invested funds by limiting default,
market and reinvestment risk.  Our investments in marketable securities consist primarily of high-grade corporate and government
securities with maturities of less than three years.  Investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less
are considered to be cash equivalents.  We classify all of our investments as available-for-sale.  Available-for-sale securities
are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in a separate component of stockholder's
equity.

Foreign Currency Fluctuations and Inflation

Our performance can be affected by changes in foreign currency values relative to the U.S. dollar in relation to the Company's
revenue and operating expenses.  The impact to net income from foreign exchange transactions and hedging activities is
immaterial for all periods reported.  As of June 30, 2001, we had forward exchange contracts outstanding totaling approximately
$6,706,410 in nine currencies at the current market rate on that day.  All of these contracts mature within three months.

Other comprehensive loss reflects an increase of $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 in the unrealized loss due
to foreign currency translation.  This increase was primarily attributable to unrealized losses associated with the weakening of
the EURO currency against the U.S. dollar during the period.

Management believes that inflation has not had a significant impact on the prices of our products, the cost of our materials, or
our operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.

                                                               20
