The financial information as of January 1, 2000 is derived from the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended January 1, 2000. In the opinion of Company management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the interim periods presented include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods. Operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any portion thereof.

6 4. SUBORDINATED NOTE AGREEMENT On June 30, 2000, the Company issued a Subordinated Promissory Note to a financing company. The promissory note plus unpaid interest (payable at an initial rate of 10 percent per annum) is due as follows: (a) interest in arrears on the last day of each quarter beginning September 30, 2000, and (b) the outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the earlier of (i) June 30, 2005 or (ii) demand by holder made at any time after June 30, 2003. In connection with this Subordinated Promissory Note, the Company issued two stock warrants each to purchase individually 1,033,000 common shares at a price of $0.50 per share or $0.38722 per share, respectively. The aggregate estimated fair value of the warrants of $357,418 has been recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized using the effective interest method over the three-year term of the related debt. Amortization of the debt discount is included in interest expense. 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On September 7, 2000 the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Greensteel Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of PolyVision Corporation, for the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company. The terms of the asset sale call for Greensteel to pay the Company up to $3,500,000, with $2,000,000 payable at the closing of the transaction and up to an additional $1,500,000, to be paid in contingent earn-out payments based on net sales of the Company's Softboard products over a 5-year period. Greensteel will receive the assets of the Company that are utilized in operating the SoftBoard business, which comprise substantially all the assets of the Company. The Company will retain cash, accounts receivable, and outstanding liabilities. Shareholders approved the agreement and asset sale and the transaction closed on October 24, 2000. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW At September 30, 2000, Microfield Graphics, Inc. (the "Company") developed, manufactured and marketed computer conferencing and telecommunications products to facilitate group communications. The principal purpose of these products is to make meetings more productive and cost effective by capturing ideas from all meeting members (whether they are located locally or linked remotely through a computer and an audio hookup) and making the information available to all of the linked systems, where everyone involved can see and interact with the information produced and presented. The Company's product lines incorporated a series of digital whiteboards, interactive rear projection systems, and interactive plasma display systems under the brand name SoftBoard, along with a variety of application software packages, supplies and accessories. Information written or drawn on the SoftBoard surface is recorded and displayed on a personal computer simultaneously and in color using the Company's proprietary technology. The information is recorded in a computer file that can be replayed, printed, faxed, e-mailed or saved for future applications. Optional proprietary software allows the information to be communicated in real time to remote computers over standard telephone lines, networks and the Internet. During 1999, the Company experienced significantly reduced sales and negative cash flows from operations. The reduction was due primarily to the loss of sales from Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, a major OEM customer. At the end of the second quarter of 1999, the Company concluded that it might not have sufficient funds to operate for at least twelve months. Management based such conclusions on the reduction in sales and resulting losses that occurred during the first six months of 1999, coupled with diminishing cash resources (cash and cash equivalents, and cash available under its operating line of credit). In response, management restructured its operations through a combination of staff reductions, workweek reductions, temporary executive salary reductions and reductions in general expense spending levels. 7 On September 7, 2000 the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Greensteel, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of PolyVision Corporation, for the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company. The terms of the asset sale call for Greensteel to pay the Company up to $3,500,000, with $2,000,000 paid at the closing of the transaction and up to an additional $1,500,000, to be paid in contingent earn-out payments based on net sales of the Company's Softboard products over a 5-year period. The Company will retain cash, accounts receivable, and outstanding liabilities. The asset sale to Greensteel closed on October 24, 2000. The Company has no active business operations at this time and is exploring merger and acquisition opportunities in other lines of business. The Company has no plans to distribute proceeds of the asset sale at this time. The Company was incorporated in Oregon in 1986. The Company's executive offices are located at 16112 SW 72nd Avenue, Portland, OR 97224. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth, as a percentage of sales, certain consolidated statement of operations data relating to the SoftBoard Business for the periods indicated.

QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED WITH QUARTER ENDED OCTOBER 2, 1999 SALES. Sales decreased $125,000 (14%) to $795,000 in the third quarter of 2000 from $920,000 in the third quarter of 1999. The decrease for the quarter was consistent with the Company's planned reduction in expenses for advertising and sales promotion. GROSS PROFIT. Cost of goods sold includes the cost of raw materials needed to assemble the products, assembly and preparation by vendors and direct and indirect costs associated with the procurement, testing, scheduling and quality assurance functions performed by the Company. The Company's gross margin increased from 30% in the second quarter of 2000 to 38% in the third quarter of 2000. The increase was consistent with the Company's efforts to lower manufacturing overhead. Third quarter gross profit results for 2000 and 1999 were comparable at 38% each. 8 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These expenses decreased $6,000 (11%) to $51,000 in the third quarter of 2000 from $57,000 in the third quarter of 1999. The reduction is due primarily to restructuring efforts implemented in the second quarter of 1999 that included significant reductions in development programs. MARKETING AND SALES EXPENSES. Marketing and sales expenses decreased $155,000 (51%) to $150,000 in the third quarter of 2000 from $305,000 in the third quarter of 1999. The decrease between quarters was due primarily to lower costs associated with the current advertising program and decreased participation in trade shows during the quarter. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses increased $76,000 (45%) to $244,000 in the third quarter of 2000 from $168,000 in the third quarter of 1999. The increase in administrative expenses during the third quarter of 2000 was due primarily to legal expenses incurred in connection with the class action lawsuit filed against the Company and its chief executive officer in February 2000, and legal fees incurred in connection with the Greensteel agreement, offset by lower costs resulting from the restructuring implemented in the second quarter of 1999. OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Other income (expense) includes interest income, interest expense, and miscellaneous income. Other expense increased $13,000 (81%) to ($29,000) in the third quarter of 2000 from ($16,000) in the third quarter of 1999. INCOME TAXES. The Company recorded losses from operations in the third quarters of 2000 and 1999. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes was provided for in either of these periods. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Since inception, the Company has financed its operations and capital expenditures through public and private sales of equity securities, cash from operations, and borrowings under bank lines of credit. At September 30, 2000 the Company had negative working capital of approximately $(69,000) and its principal source of liquidity consisted of $58,525 in cash and cash equivalents. Accounts receivable increased $137,000 to $403,000 at September 30, 2000 from $266,000 at January 1, 2000. This was primarily due to a higher percentage of sales occurring in the last month of the quarter ended September 30, 2000. Inventories decreased $25,000 to $472,000 at September 30, 2000 from $497,000 at January 1, 2000. This decrease was due primarily to the lowering of inventory levels implemented as part of the restructuring and cost reduction plan. Accounts payable increased $132,000 to $470,000 at September 30, 2000 compared to $338,000 at January 1, 2000 as a result of the implementation of more favorable payment terms with the Company's vendors. At September 30, 2000, the Company had a line of credit with its bank using its accounts receivable and certain of its inventory as collateral. The Loan Agreement for the line of credit expired on September 8, 1999, at which time $524,000 was outstanding under the line of credit. The Company and the bank continued to operate under the terms of the Loan Agreement until new terms were formalized on October 25, 1999. At September 8, 1999 and at October 2, 1999, the Company was not in compliance with the minimum tangible net worth financial covenant of its Loan Agreement with the bank. On October 15, 1999, the bank delivered a notice of default and the Company subsequently entered into a Forbearance Agreement which provided for a reduction in the line of credit to $650,000, the elimination of inventory from the collateral base over a 14 month period, an interest rate increase, and certain financial covenants with which the Company was required to comply. The Forbearance Agreement period ended April 30, 2000. On April 27, 2000 the Company entered into an Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement with the bank, which provided for financing in an amount equal to 80% of accounts receivable up to a maximum of $750,000, interest of 3% per month on the outstanding loan balance, repayment of the inventory portion of the collateral base (the "Placeholder Note"), and certain financial covenants with which the Company is required to comply. The balance of the Placeholder Note at September 30, 2000 was $111,073. The Company paid off the line of credit and terminated the Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement on the closing of the asset sale to Greensteel, Inc. 9 On June 30, 2000 the Company issued a Subordinated Promissory Note to JMW Capital Partners, Inc. ("JMW") pursuant to which the Company borrowed $400,000 from JMW. The promissory note plus unpaid interest (payable at an initial rate of 10 percent per annum) is due as follows: (a) interest in arrears on the last day of each quarter beginning September 30, 2000, and (b) the outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the earlier of (i) June 30, 2005 or (ii) demand by holder made at any time after June 30, 2003. In connection with this Subordinated Promissory Note, the Company issued to JMW two stock warrants each to purchase 1,033,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.50 per share and $0.38722 per share, respectively. The warrants, which are exercisable until June 30, 2005, have an aggregate estimated fair value of $357,418 which has been recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized using the effective interest method over the five year term of the related debt. Amortization of the debt discount is included in interest expense. The Company agreed to a number of financial and other covenants in connection with the financing, including that the Company will default under the note if at any time designees of JMW constitute less than forty percent of the Company's Board of Directors. In accordance with this agreement, Robert Jesenik and Dennis Wade, principals of JMW, were appointed to the Company's Board of Directors. The Company believes its resources are sufficient to fund its operations as they currently exist for the next twelve months. The Company has no commitments for capital expenditures in material amounts. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT On April 3, 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation--an Interpretation of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25" (FIN 44). FIN 44 clarifies the application of Opinion No. 25 for certain issues including the accounting consequence of various modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock option or award. In December 1999, the Company decreased the exercise price of all outstanding incentive stock options to $0.22 per share (the "repriced options"). In accordance with FIN 44, effective July 1, 2000, any of these options which are not exercised or canceled, would be accounted for pursuant to a variable stock option plan. Accordingly, compensation expense would be recorded to the extent that the quoted market price of the Company's common stock exceeded the revised exercise price of the repriced options. Effective June 30, 2000, the Company settled all outstanding repriced options by issuing one share of the Company's common stock for each repriced option; 405,608 of the repriced options were outstanding immediately preceding the settlement. As a result, the Company recorded a one-time compensation charge of $105,951, which is equal to the aggregate fair value of the common shares issued as settlement for the repriced options. The one-time compensation charge was recorded as expense in each department (manufacturing, sales, administration) where the participating employees were assigned. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS During February 2000, the Company was named in a class action lawsuit, ADAIR V. MICROFIELD GRAPHICS, INC. ET ANO., 00 Civ. 0629 (MBM), United States District Court Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges that the Company and its Chief Executive Officer issued a series of false and misleading statements concerning, among other things, the Company's purchase agreement with 3M. The complaint alleges that, as a result of these allegedly material misstatements and omissions, the Company's stock price was artificially inflated during the period from July 23, 1998 through April 2, 1999 and requests that damages be determined at trial. The Company denies the allegations and intends to vigorously defend itself. The ultimate outcome of the litigation, however, is presently undeterminable. 10 ITEM 6.
