See accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements. 5 ALTRIS SOFTWARE, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Altris Software, Inc. (the "Company") as of June 30, 1998 and the consolidated statement of operations and of cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 are unaudited. The consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to interim periods. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. NOTE 2 - NET INCOME PER SHARE The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128 ("FAS 128"), "Earnings per Share," for fiscal 1997 and retroactively restated all prior periods to conform with FAS 128 as required. Basic net income per common share is computed as net income less accretion of dividends on mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares, using the treasury stock method, outstanding during the period and assumes conversion into common stock at the beginning of each period of all outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock. Computations of basic and diluted earnings per share do not give effect to individual potential common stock instruments for any period in which their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 4 - INVENTORY Inventory consists of parts, supplies, and subassemblies primarily used in maintenance contracts which service the Company's hardware products sold in prior years. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. As of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the Company's reserve against excess quantities totaled $571,000 and $511,000, respectively. 6 NOTE 5 - NOTES PAYABLE AND SUBORDINATED DEBT The Company's United Kingdom subsidiary has an overdraft facility with a bank with interest calculated at 2.0% per annum over the bank's base rate (9.5% at June 30, 1998 and 9.25% at December 31, 1997). The facility is for $625,000 and is payable on demand. At June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, $507,000 and $430,000, respectively, was outstanding. The property and assets of the Company's United Kingdom subsidiary secure repayment of the borrowings under the facility. The Company has executed a guarantee in connection with the facility. In June 1997, the Company issued a five-year, 11.5% subordinated debenture ("the Subordinated Debenture") with quarterly interest payments for gross proceeds of $3,000,000. In conjunction with the debt, the Company granted warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share which are exercisable over a five year period from the date of issuance. The warrants were valued at $585,000 and a portion of the proceeds from the debt has been allocated to common stock warrants. In the event the debt is outstanding at June 2000, and each year thereafter, the Company will grant in each year, additional five year warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share. A value has not been ascribed to these contingent warrants. At such time that the warrants are no longer contingent, a value will be ascribed, if any. As of December 31, 1997 the Company was in violation of certain covenants contained in the subordinated debenture agreement. The Company obtained a waiver of such violations in May 1998, which extends for one year from the date of the waiver. In March 1997, the Company borrowed $300,000 from an officer of the Company. The terms of the agreement were for a maximum of a three month period with a 12% per annum interest rate. The entire balance and accrued interest was paid in July 1997. The Company has two revolving loan and security agreements, each providing for borrowings of up to $1,000,000. The maximum credit available under each facility declines by $200,000 each year in March and September beginning in 1997 and 1996, respectively. Each loan is payable in monthly installments of $16,667. At June 30, 1998, $1,243,000 was outstanding with no additional funds available on the facility. At December 31, 1997, $574,000 was outstanding and $793,000 was unused on these facilities. Total borrowings under the revolving loan and security agreements are collateralized by the Company's assets and interest is equal to the 30-day Commercial Paper Rate plus 2.95% (8.47% and 8.80% at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively). The revolving loan and security agreements contain certain restrictive covenants including the maintenance of a minimum ratio of debt to tangible net worth. As of December 31, 1997 the Company was in violation of such covenants. The Company obtained a waiver of such violations existing on and prior to December 31, 1997. In addition, the lender has also waived the debt to tangible net worth covenant through May 1999. NOTE 6 - PREFERRED STOCK In June 1997, the Company issued 3,000 shares of its Series D Convertible Preferred Stock ("the Series D Preferred Stock") for gross proceeds of $3,000,000. The Series D Preferred Stock bears a dividend of 11.5% per annum and is convertible into the Company's common stock at a price of $6.00 per share subject to reset, as defined in the preferred stock agreement. Commencing in March 1998 the Company has been in default of certain covenants, resulting in a dividend rate increase to 14% per annum. The Company may redeem the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock at its option after June 1999 if an average trading price for the common stock equals or exceeds $9.50 per share or after June 2002, irrespective of the trading price. The Series D Preferred Stock redemption price per share is equal to the sum of $1,000, all accrued and unpaid dividends and interest on such unpaid dividends at an annual rate of 11.5% (increased to 14% as a result of the event of default). If the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, when added to all other shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock and any shares of common stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of the warrants would exceed 1,906,692 shares of common stock (the "Issuable Maximum"), then the Company shall be obligated to effect the conversion of only such portion of the Series D Preferred Stock resulting in the issuance of shares of 7 common stock up to the Issuable Maximum, and the remaining portion of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by the Company for cash in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Certificate of Determination. In the event of mandatory redemption, the redemption price per share is equal to the redemption price under the optional redemption feature, plus the appreciation in the value of the Company's common stock and conversion price on the date of redemption. In connection with the issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock, the Company has agreed to grant warrants to purchase the following number of shares of its common stock if the Series D Preferred Stock remains outstanding on each of the following dates: (i) 50,000 shares, at an exercise price of $7.00 per share, on June 27, 2000 if the Series D Preferred Stock has not been redeemed or converted in full on or prior to June 27, 2000; (ii) 50,000 shares, at an exercise price of $7.00 per share, on June 27, 2001 if the Series D Preferred Stock has not been redeemed or converted in full on or prior to June 27, 2001; (iii) 250,000 shares, at an exercise price equal to the trading price per share at the issuance of the warrant, on July 17, 2002 if the Series D Preferred Stock has not been redeemed or converted in full on or prior to July 17, 2002; and (iv) 250,000 shares, at an exercise price equal to the trading price per share at the issuance of the warrant, on June 27, 2003 if the Series D Preferred Stock has not been redeemed or converted in full on or prior to June 27, 2003. Such warrants are exercisable over a five year period from the date of grant. A value has not been ascribed to these contingent warrants. At such time that the warrants are no longer contingent, a value will be ascribed, if any. In connection with the debt (see Note 5) and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock issuance, the Company paid $120,000 to a director of the Company for his service related to the offering. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to the holders of the common stock. In the event of liquidation of the Company, the Series D Preferred Stockholders will receive in preference to the common stockholders an amount equal to $1,000 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends and interest on all such dividends at an annual rate of 11.5% (increased to 14% as a result of the event of default).

8 NOTE 8 - LITIGATION During March 1998 through May 1998, six complaints alleging violations of the federal securities laws were filed against the Company and certain of its present and former officers and directors. The complaints are class actions filed by individuals who allege that they purchased the Company's common stock during specified periods. The complaints allege that the Company and the individual defendants issued false and misleading statements in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other public statements. Management is unable to determine whether the outcome of these complaints will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. 9 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997. This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or anticipated results, including those set forth under "Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results" below and elsewhere in, or incorporated by reference into, this report. Revenues Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 were $3,534,000 and $6,535,000, respectively, as compared to $4,754,000 and $8,739,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease of 26% and 25%, respectively, in revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, is primarily due to a decline in sales of new large systems. For the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, revenues consisted of $1,531,000 (43%) and $2,534,000 (39%), respectively, in new system revenues and $2,003,000 (57%) and $4,001,000 (61%), respectively, related to system enhancements, expansion and maintenance. This compares to $2,861,000 (60%) and $4,810,000 (55%), respectively, in new system revenues and $1,893,000 (40%) and $3,929,000 (45%), respectively, related to system enhancements, expansion and maintenance, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997. System enhancements are changes to a system previously installed by the Company in order to, among other things, accommodate more documents or users, interface with different peripheral devices, update the system with recently developed improvements (including improvements which increase the speed of the system) or implement other changes in response to the customer's general data processing environment. The decrease in new system revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 is the result of the Company devoting substantial sales and marketing efforts in 1997 to its anticipated Altris EB-TM- product. The availability of EB has been substantially delayed as a result of unanticipated problems in the performance of the product. Management believes that the Company's inability to provide the Altris EB product, which was to address the needs of new customers for additional features and functionality, was the principal cause for the decline in revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997. The increase in revenues generated from system enhancements, expansion and maintenance in the second quarter 1998 is the result of existing customers upgrading and expanding current systems. A small number of customers have typically accounted for a large percentage of the Company's annual revenue, although no customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 or 1997. One consequence of this dependence has been that revenue can fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis. The Company's reliance on relatively few customers could have a material adverse effect on the results of its operations on a quarterly basis. Additionally, a significant portion of the Company's revenues has historically been derived from the sale of systems to new customers. Cost of Revenues Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 41% and 40% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 41% and 43% for the same periods a year ago. The decrease in gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was due primarily to a reduction in revenues which resulted in fixed costs representing a greater proportion of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997. Software license revenue was $1,169,000 (33%) and $2,060,000 (32%) of total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $2,124,000 (45%) and $4,258,000 (49%) of total revenues in the same periods in 1997. Hardware sales, which have a lower margin than software, was $339,000 (10%) and $400,000 (6%) for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $668,000 (14%) and $924,000 (10%) for the same periods in 1997. Service revenues, which include maintenance, 10 training and consulting services, increased to $2,026,000 (57%) and $4,075,000 (62%) for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 from $1,962,000 (41%) and $3,557,000 (41%) for the same periods in 1997. The Company's software and services are sold at a significantly higher margin than third party products which are resold at a lower gross profit percentage in order for the Company to remain competitive in the marketplace for such third party products. Gross profit percentages can fluctuate quarterly based on the revenue mix of Company software, services and third party software or hardware. Operating Expenses Research and development expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 was $608,000 and $1,351,000, respectively, as compared to $1,030,000 and $1,946,000 for the same periods in the prior year. The decrease in research and development was due to a reduction in personnel. Research and development expense can vary year to year based on the amount of engineering service contract work required for customers versus purely internal development projects. It may also vary based on internal development projects in which technological feasibility and marketability of a product are established. These costs are capitalized as incurred and then amortized when the product is available for general release to customers. Technical expenses on customer-funded projects are included in cost of revenues, while expenses on internal projects are included in research and development expense. Technical expenses on customer-funded projects for the quarter were $783,000 and $1,506,000, respectively, versus $948,000 and $1,652,000, respectively, for the same period last year. Marketing and sales expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 was $1,066,000 and $2,735,000, respectively, as compared to $1,936,000 and $3,680,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in marketing and promotional costs incurred along with a reduction in personnel. General and administrative expense was $1,154,000 and $2,188,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $951,000 and $1,705,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in general and administrative expense was due primarily to increased legal, accounting and consultancy costs associated with the Company's restatement of its financial statements for fiscal year 1996 and the three interim quarters in 1997. During the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company incurred $149,000 and $525,000, respectively, in restructuring charges resulting primarily from severance costs including amounts owed under a Separation Agreement between the Company and its former CEO. During the second quarter of 1997, the Company wrote-off certain offering costs, resulting in a one-time charge to operations in the amount of $270,000. The costs that were written-off were not directly related to the private placement that occurred during the second quarter of 1997. Interest and other income was $3,000 and $18,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $30,000 and $52,000 for the same period a year ago. The decrease is primarily due to lower cash balances. Interest and other expense was $169,000 and $332,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 versus $58,000 and $109,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase was due to a higher debt balance coupled with a higher rate of interest paid on the Company's debt at June 30, 1998 versus the same period in 1997. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At June 30, 1998, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $677,000 as compared to $1,938,000 at December 31, 1997, and its current ratio was .5 to 1. The Company's short-term investments totaled $133,000 at December 31, 1997. The Company has two revolving credit facilities that provide for borrowings of up to $1,243,000. At June 30, 1998, $1,243,000 was outstanding on the revolving loan agreements with no additional funds available on the facility. In addition, the Company's U.K. subsidiary has an overdraft credit facility of $625,000. The Company has agreed with the lender to reduce the total facility by approximately $40,000 per month for the next three months. The outstanding balance on this facility is payable 11 on demand of the lender. At June 30, 1998, borrowings on this facility were $507,000. The Company has guaranteed the borrowings on this facility. See Note 5 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain events of default under each of the Company's revolving loan agreements and under the Subordinated Debenture occurred as a result of a restatement of the Company's interim financial information and annual financial statements for 1996 and the interim information for the first three quarters of 1997 which restatement was announced in May 1998. The lenders under such agreements and the Subordinated Debenture have agreed to waive such events of default for 1997 in the case of the lender under the Company's revolving loan agreements and for a period of one year expiring in May 1999 in the case of the holder of the Subordinated Debenture. Such lender and holder have also waived compliance with certain financial covenants for one year expiring in May 1999. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure from its lenders a further waiver of any events of default after May 1999. If such events of default are not then waived, the Company may then be required to repay the full amount of its outstanding indebtedness under the revolving credit agreements and the Subordinated Debenture. Defaults in the payment of such indebtedness or in the performance of other covenants under the agreements related to such indebtedness, whether occurring prior to or after May 1999, could also result in the Company being required to repay the full amount of such indebtedness. In addition, because the overdraft credit facility of the Company's U.K. subsidiary is payable upon demand, the Company could be required at any time to repay all outstanding borrowings under such facility. The repayment of such indebtedness would require additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurances that any such financing would be available. For the first six months of 1998, cash provided by financing activities totaled $659,000 while cash used in operating and investing activities totaled $640,000 and $1,237,000, respectively. Cash provided by financing activities was from net borrowings under revolving loan and bank agreements. For the first six months of 1997, cash used in operating and investing activities totaled $497,000 and $1,005,000, respectively, while cash provided by financing activities totaled $5,976,000. Due to significant losses incurred in 1997 and lower forecasted sales, the Company has restructured its operations and reduced its payroll cost, the largest cost element, by approximately 25% from the level prevailing at the end of 1997. In addition, the Company has made further reductions of other expenditures. However, the Company is investigating raising additional cash through a debt or equity offering. The Company believes that as the result of the reduction of its costs through the restructuring of its operations, the unused portion of the Company's credit facilities, and funds generated from operations will be adequate to meet expected short-term needs for working capital. However, the Company's ability to continue operations without additional capital is dependent upon the Company's ability to sustain revenues from its existing customer base and to sell new systems. Given the substantial uncertainties confronting the Company, there can be no assurance that sufficient cash flows will be generated by the Company to avoid the further depletion of its working capital. Accordingly, the Company is seeking additional equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that additional debt or equity financing will be available, if and when needed, or that, if available, such financing could be completed on commercially favorable terms. Failure to obtain additional financing, if and when needed, could have a material adverse affect on the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition. Net Operating Loss Tax Carryforwards As of December 31, 1997, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward ("NOL") for federal and state income tax purposes of $40,549,000 and $10,239,000, respectively. In addition, the Company generated but has not used research and investment tax credits for federal income tax purposes of approximately $500,000, which will substantially expire in the years 2000 through 2005. Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Company generally would be entitled to reduce its future Federal income tax liabilities by carrying unused NOL forward for a period of 15 years to offset future taxable income earned, and by carrying unused tax credits forward for a period of 15 years to offset future income taxes. However, the Company's ability to utilize any NOL and credit carryforwards in future years may be restricted in the event the Company undergoes an "ownership change," generally defined as a more than 50 percentage point change of ownership by one or more statutorily defined "5-percent stockholders" of a corporation, as a result of future issuances or transfers of equity securities of the Company within a three-year testing period. In the event of an ownership change, the amount of NOL attributable to the period prior to the ownership change that may be used to offset taxable income in any year thereafter generally may not exceed the fair market value of the 12 Company immediately before the ownership change (subject to certain adjustments) multiplied by the applicable long-term, tax-exempt rate announced by the Internal Revenue Service in effect for the date of the ownership change. A further limitation would apply to restrict the amount of credit carryforwards that might be used in any year after the ownership change. As a result of these limitations, in the event of an ownership change, the Company's ability to use its NOL and credit carryforwards in future years may be delayed and, to the extent the carryforward amounts cannot be fully utilized under these limitations within the carryforward periods, these carryforwards will be lost. Accordingly, the Company may be required to pay more Federal income taxes or to pay such taxes sooner than if the use of its NOL and credit carryforwards were not restricted. Over the past five years the Company has issued equity securities in connection with the private placement in June 1997, the Trimco acquisition in December 1995, the Optigraphics acquisition in September 1993 and through traditional stock option grants to employees. Although there was no "ownership change" in 1997, this activity, combined with the liquidity available to stockholders, increases the potential for an "ownership change" for income tax purposes. In connection with the acquisition of Trimco, the Company acquired deferred tax assets of approximately $926,000 of which approximately $626,000 was provided as a valuation allowance. In June 1997, the $300,000 tax asset was realized and a reduction to goodwill was recorded. In the event that remaining tax benefits acquired in the Trimco acquisition are realized, tax benefits will be used first to reduce any remaining goodwill and other intangible assets related to the acquisition. Once those assets are reduced to zero, the benefit will be included as a reduction of the Company's income tax provision. In connection with the acquisition of Optigraphics, the Company acquired Optigraphics' net operating losses which are limited to offset against that entity's future taxable income, subject to annual limitations. CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS Uncertain Impact of Restatement of Financial Statements In May 1998 the Company reported restated financial results for 1996 and the first three quarters of 1997. See the Company report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 (the "Form 10-K"). In addition, the report of the Company's independent accountants, Price Waterhouse LLP, on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 1997 includes an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. See "Report of Independent Accountants" accompanying the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Form 10-K. The Company's public announcement of the restatement of its financial statements, delays in reporting operating results for the year ended December 31, 1997 while the restatement was being compiled, delays in reporting first quarter of 1998 results, the de-listing of the Company's Common Stock from the Nasdaq National Market, corporate actions to restructure operations and reduce operating expenses, and customer uncertainty regarding the Company's financial condition are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company and its ability to sell its products in the future. Foreign Currency The Company's geographic markets are primarily in the United States and Europe, with sales in other parts of the world. In the six months ended June 30, 1998, revenue from the United States, Europe and other locations in the world were 60%, 35% and 5%, respectively. This compares to 61%, 36% and 3%, respectively for the same period in 1997. The European currencies have been relatively stable against the U.S. dollar for the past several years. As a result, foreign currency fluctuations have not had a significant impact on the Company's revenues or results of operations. The Company has recently increased its sales efforts in international markets outside Europe, including Asia and Latin America, whose currencies have tended to fluctuate more relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition, the current continued weakness in Asian currencies may result in reduced revenues from the countries affected by this condition. Changes in foreign currency rates, the condition of local economies, and the general volatility of software markets may result in higher or lower proportion of foreign revenues in the future. Although the Company's operating and pricing strategies take into 13 account changes in exchange rates over time, there can be no assurance that future fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. New Accounting Pronouncements In 1997, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 97-2 (SOP 97-2), "Software Revenue Recognition" as amended by Statement of Position 98-4 ("SOP 98-4"). The Company adopted the provisions of SOP 97-2 as of January 1, 1998 and as a result, changed certain business practices. SOP 98-4 is effective as of June 30, 1998. The adoption has, in certain circumstances, resulted in the deferral of software license revenues that would have been recognized upon delivery of the related software under preceding accounting standards. At this time the Company cannot quantify the effect that SOP 97-2 will have on its operating results, financial position or cash flows. Inflation The Company believes that inflation has not had a material effect on its operations to date. Although the Company enters into fixed-price contracts, management does not believe that inflation will have a material impact on its operations for the foreseeable future, as the Company takes into account expected inflation in its contract proposals and is generally able to project its costs based on forecasted contract requirements. Year 2000 Compliance Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded to accept only two digit entries in the date code field. These date code fields will need to accept four digit entries to distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates. As a result, in less than two years, computer systems and/or software used by many companies may need to be upgraded to comply with such "Year 2000" requirements. Significant uncertainty exists in the software industry concerning the potential effects associated with such compliance. The Company has recently commenced a program, to be substantially completed by the Fall of 1999, to review the Year 2000 compliance status of the software and systems used in its internal business processes, to obtain appropriate assurances of compliance from the manufacturers of these products and agreement to modify or replace all non-compliant products. In addition, the Company is considering converting certain of its software and systems to commercial products that are known to be Year 2000 compliant. Implementation of software products of third parties, however, will require the dedication of substantial administrative and management information resources, the assistance of consulting personnel from third party software vendors and the training of the Company's personnel using such systems. Based on the information available to date, the Company believes it will be able to complete its Year 2000 compliance review and make necessary modifications prior to the end of 1999. Software or systems which are deemed critical to the Company's business are scheduled to be Year 2000 compliant by the end of 1998. Nevertheless, particularly to the extent the Company is relying on the products of other vendors to resolve Year 2000 issues, there can be no assurances that the Company will not experience delays in implementing such products. If key systems, or a significant number of systems were to fail as a result of Year 2000 problems or the Company were to experience delays implementing Year 2000 compliant software products, the Company could incur substantial costs and disruption of its business, which would potentially have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. The Company, in its ordinary course of business, tests and evaluates its own software products. The Company believes that its software products are generally Year 2000 compliant, meaning that the use or occurrence of dates on or after January 1, 2000 will not materially affect the performance of the Company's software products with respect to four digit date dependent data or the ability of such products to correctly create, store, process and output information related to such date data. To the extent the Company's software products are not fully Year 2000 compliant, there can be no assurance that the Company's software products contain all necessary software routines and codes necessary for the accurate calculation, display, storage and manipulation of data involving dates. In addition, in certain circumstances, the Company has warranted that the use or occurrence of dates on or after January 1, 2000 will not adversely affect the performance of the Company's products with respect to four digit date dependent data or the ability to create, store, process and 14 output information related to such data. If any of the Company's licensees experience Year 2000 problems, such licensees could assert claims for damages against the Company. To date, the Company has not created a separate budget for investigating and remedying issues related to Year 2000 compliance whether involving the Company's own software products or the software or systems used in its internal operations. There can be no assurances that Company resources spent on investigating and remedying Year 2000 compliance issues will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the purchasing patterns of customers and potential customers may be affected by Year 2000 issues. Many companies are expending significant resources to correct their current software systems for Year 2000 compliance. These expenditures may result in reduced funds available to purchase software products such as those offered by the Company, which could have an adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. 15 PART II.
