ITEM 1     BUSINESS


The Company

Globalink, Inc. ("Globalink" or "the Company") is a leading provider of products
and services that help businesses and individuals  overcome  language  barriers.
The Company designs, develops,  publishes,  markets and supports translation and
language learning software;  provides  real-time  translations to Internet users
through its Comprende service;  and provides  professional  translation services
through  the  Globalink   Translation   Services   Division  and  the  Globalink
Translation Alliance. With an extensive range of software and service offerings,
Globalink  helps  corporations,   government   agencies,   large  organizations,
students,  educators and small businesses solve language  problems.  The Company
currently  markets  bi-directional  software  for  creating  draft  translations
between English and French, German, Italian,  Portuguese and Spanish, as well as
language learning software for English,  French, German and Spanish. The Company
continues to develop new generations of its core  translation  technology  while
also bringing new  applications of that  technology and related  technologies to
market,  providing  advanced and  affordable  translation  software and language
learning software for its customers.

The Company also offers professional  translation services through its worldwide
network of preferred  translators.  Some of the materials  routinely  translated
include: Web Sites, software user guides,  technical manuals,  proposals,  legal
contracts,   business  correspondence,   advertising  and  marketing  materials,
newsletters,  employee handbooks,  and more. These services focus on translating
documents in a time sensitive production  environment designed to meet the needs
of the Company's domestic and international client base.


Background

As the global  economy  has  continued  to expand,  so too has the need to share
information.  As post- industrial  economies are  transforming  into information
economies,  data is  increasingly  a vital  asset.  Timely  access to  pertinent
information is essential for the "knowledge workers" of these new economies. The
growth  of the  Internet  has  played  a  significant  role in this  new wave of
information  processing.  E-  mail  messages,  Web  sites,  and  HTML  and  word
processing  documents are rapidly  becoming  international  in the audience they
address, as they are disseminated over the Internet.  While the Internet enables
the flow of information across national and cultural  boundaries,  communication
still requires overcoming the language barrier. As a leading provider of machine
translation technology, the Company sees growth opportunities in providing tools
to enable communication. Machine translation, also known as "MT," is the process
of converting text from one language to another with a computer.  Today,  humans
still perform most  translations.  However,  demand for  translations is already
beginning to outpace supply,  and as more  information is digitally  created and
transmitted,  alternative  translation  methods will play a larger role.  In the
case of the  Internet  and  e-business,  the  need  for  high-volume,  real-time
translations makes machine translation solutions particularly important.

The introduction of powerful new personal  computers and workstations has helped
this trend,  by allowing  the  development  of  PC-based MT  functions  that had
previously been mainframe dependent. The widespread acceptance of these powerful
new personal computers,  and their increasing use as communication  devices, has
rapidly increased demand for low-cost, PC-based MT software.

Machine Translation (MT) Technology

Machine  Translation (MT), the automated process of translating from one natural
language to another, is the earliest type of natural language processing. Unlike
software that merely looks up words in a dictionary,  MT grammatically  analyzes
the  original  language  text  (source  language)  and  automatically  generates
corresponding  text in the  target  language  desired.  This  output may then be
displayed  on-  screen,  printed  (with  or  without  the  corresponding  source
language),  e-mailed or posted on a Web site,  among other options.  Globalink's
translation applications use three sets of data: the input text, the translation
program and permanent  knowledge  sources  (containing a dictionary of words and
phrases of the source  language),  and information  about the concepts evoked by
the dictionary and rules for sentence  development.  These rules are in the form
of linguistic  rules for syntax and grammar,  and some are algorithms  governing
verb  conjugation,  syntax  adjustment,  gender  and number  agreement  and word
reordering. Once the user has selected the source text and initiated the machine
translation  process  the  program  begins to match words of the input text with
those stored in its dictionary.  Upon finding a match, the application brings up
a complete record that includes information on possible meanings of the word and
its contextual  relationship to other words that occur in the same sentence. The
time  required  for the  translation  depends  on the length of the text and the
system running the software.


Globalink's Products -- Core Technology

Globalink translation software products and services  (Comprende(TM),  Globalink
Language   Assistant(TM),   Globalink  Power   Translator(R),   Globalink  Power
Translator(R)  Pro  and  Globalink  Web   Translator(TM))   provide  high-speed,
computer-assisted draft translations for a wide range of applications. When used
with customized Subject Dictionaries, Globalink translation software will create
acceptable draft translations of scientific, technical, or commercial texts. The
texts should use clearly written,  grammatically correct, declarative sentences.
The Company's software is not intended for use in translating  literary works or
poetry.

The most recent versions of these products are based on Globalink's  proprietary
Barcelona technology.  The innovation of Globalink's Barcelona technology,  with
its modular architecture of linguistics and programming  components,  allows for
unprecedented growth in the development of both the core translation  technology
and new language  pairs. In addition,  Globalink's  research  efforts  currently
underway  in the areas of  context-free  parsing,  transformational  morphology,
statistical  analysis,  and  large-corpus  lexicography  promise  to  set  a new
standard for future machine translation systems and the MT industry.

Globalink  translation  programs  convert the  original  text into the  selected
target  language,  utilizing  the machine  translation  dictionaries  as lexical
databases.  Users can  translate  entire  documents  with a single  command,  or
translate  selections or single  sentences  from the document.  Documents can be
created using the built-in  editor of the program,  or can be imported from most
popular  word  processors,  using  import  filters  that retain  formatting.  In
addition, some of the Company's programs allow users to operate the program from
within a word  processor  (e.g.  Microsoft  Word for  Windows).  Similarly,  Web
Translator  and  Comprende  let  users  translate  Web  pages  as they  surf the
Internet.  Other  features  allow for  translation  of e-mail  messages and chat
rooms.

All of Globalink's translation programs seek to be user-friendly and to generate
quality  draft  translations.  Users  can add new terms to the  dictionaries  or
modify  existing  terms.  They can also create special  Subject  Dictionaries or
purchase them from Globalink.  In programs such as Power  Translator,  the texts
are displayed in a split screen,  facilitating review of the source text and the
target text. Similarly,  the built in editor, with special features for entering
accented and foreign character entry, make it easy to edit


                                       4

<PAGE>

translations on-screen. During the editing process, users can access alternative
translations  or synonyms for terms in the source  language that would result in
translations that are more accurate.

Special translation algorithms will perform multiple translations of a word in a
sentence based on parts of speech. Other translation features include: component
analysis of German compound  nouns,  the  disambiguation  of terms with multiple
parts of speech,  automatic  inflection of semantic  units,  and other automatic
grammatical functions.

The software  products  also  contain a special  reference  component  that will
display parts of speech,  translations and other grammatical information for any
term in the dictionary.


Market Strategy

Globalink's  objective is to become the world's leading  provider of translation
and language  solutions.  The Company's  target  market areas are  professional,
governmental,  educational,  industry,  and  consumer  mass  markets.  Globalink
translation  software  products are designed to emphasize  quality  translation,
adaptability to the end user, integration with market-leading applications (such
as Web browsers,  e-mail  packages,  word  processors and online  offerings) and
affordability, thus creating high utility and value for users.

Current Globalink  products and others under development are available on a wide
variety of computer  platforms  including IBM PCs and compatibles  under Windows
and  Internet-based  offerings  that  are  functional  across  platforms.  These
products  and   services   deliver  high   productivity   through   rapid  draft
translations.  The  Company's  products and services  cover a range in price for
large  organizations  as well as for general  consumers.  The  Company  plans to
continue to broaden its product offerings with more language pairs, enhancements
to its  existing  products,  and new  products and services for areas such as e-
business.

The  Company  sells  its  products  and  services  primarily  through  worldwide
non-exclusive  distributor/dealer  channels and original equipment  manufacturer
(OEM) agreements. All distributors have agreed to purchase inventory of products
upon  execution  of their  respective  distributor  agreements.  The  Company is
broadening  its  distribution  through  expansion  of  its   distribution/dealer
channels,   direct   sales   efforts   nationally,   OEM   agreements,   on-line
(Internet-based) sales channels and extensive promotional programs.

         Globalink  Talk to Me(TM) - In response to market  demand and  customer
         requests for language  learning  titles,  Globalink  offers Talk to Me.
         Just as MT software helps  customers to overcome  language  barriers by
         producing draft  translations,  language  learning software helps users
         bridge  the  language  gap  by  developing   foreign  language  skills.
         Globalink  Talk to Me is  published  in  conjunction  with  Auralog,  a
         privately held French company. The program was developed in conjunction
         with  leading  educational   institutions  in  Europe,   including  the
         Sorbonne, the University of Bristol and the Goethe Institute.

         Speaking a foreign  language like a native is one thing.  Understanding
         what native speakers are saying is quite another.  Globalink Talk to Me
         is the one  interactive  language  learning  program  that  does  both:
         teaches  users  how  to  listen  and  to  talk.   Using  unique  speech
         recognition  technology,  Globalink  Talk to Me lets users actually see
         voiceprints of native  speakers,  then record a voiceprint of their own
         pronunciation.  Through imitation, repetition and comparison, users can
         perfect  their  pronunciation.  At the same time,  the program helps to
         train  the  ear  to  hear  subtle   nuances  and   differences  in  the
         pronunciation of phrases,  words and even syllables.  Globalink Talk to
         Me  includes  adjustable   self-paced  challenge  levels,   interactive
         dialogues involving real-life  situations,  and language learning games
         that  help  reinforce   vocabulary,   spelling  and  listening  skills.
         Languages  available:  English,  French,  German and  Spanish.  Runs on
         Windows 3.1 and Windows 95.

         New Products--During  1998, Globalink plans to release a variety of new
         products  and  services.  These  new  offerings  will  include  updated
         versions   of  existing   products,   new   language   pairs  (such  as
         French{}German and Spanish{}Portuguese) within the Barcelona technology
         for use across  multiple  product lines,  and extended  services,  with
         heavy emphasis on the  Internet/Intranet/Extranet  environment, and the
         market  segments of e-business and online  communication.  In addition,
         Globalink plans to put significant emphasis on continued development of
         its  core  Barcelona   technology,   expanding  its  functionality  and
         increasing both speed and translation  quality.  These  improvements in
         the Barcelona  technology  will  eventually be visible in all Globalink
         products and services.


Sales,  Marketing and Distribution

The  Company  markets  and  sells its  software  products  through a variety  of
channels.  This includes sales to distributors  who in turn provide  products to
retailers or value added  resellers  (VARs) who sell to end users or the public.
In order to accomplish  this channel sales process the Company  employs not only
an experienced  internal retail and distribution  sales team but the services of
merchandising  representatives  who call on retail  establishments.  The Company
also   participates  in  trade  shows  and  invests  in  advertising  and  other
promotional  activities.  The Company  continues to expand the sales channels it
uses, with particular focus on Internet-related  direct channels and VAR and ISP
partnerships.

Promotional  cost is the single largest expense of software  product  marketing.
Furthermore,  product promotion is a continuing  business activity and increases
proportionally  with  increases  in  revenue.  Consequently,  the success of the
Company's  promotional  programs  are  directly  related  to the  success of the
Company.

Promotion and Advertising

The  Company's  success  to date has been a result of  careful  expenditures  on
advertising and promotion controlled by limited budgets. With the recent private
equity placements, the Company has been able to continue investing in aggressive
advertising  campaigns  and  promotions.   This  has  included  expanded  public
relations programs,  extended advertising in general business  publications,  as
well as known trade journals, and increased use of free or general news coverage
publicity.

Currently,   the  Company's  promotion  and  advertising  programs  include  the
following:

        Advertising  -  Product   advertising  appears  at  different  times  in
        different  media,  as  the  Company  performs  targeted  marketing.  For
        example,  campaigns  have  included  ads in  trade  magazines,  regional
        promotions  and  promotions   targeting  specific  demographic  sectors.
        Catalog advertising continues at a high rate in known industry and trade
        catalogs. Online advertising and promotions will continue to increase in
        importance in 1998.

        Direct  Mail - The Company  invests in direct mail  programs to increase
        sales and  exposure for its product  lines.  This  includes  programs by
        industry and by demographic profiles of known buyers.

        Exhibits - CeBIT and other European trade shows  highlight the company's
        participation in several local,  national and international trade shows.
        In addition to Company expenditures, many of the distributors and agents
        employed by the Company participate in local exhibits. Globalink is also
        the Official  Translation  Company of the Internet  World shows in Latin
        America and Europe.

        Public Relations - The Company  continues to expand its public relations
        programs  to  educate  the  general   marketplace.   These  include  the
        employment  of  free  lance  public   relations  agents  or  specialized
        companies throughout the world.


Distributors

The  Company  currently  has a number of  worldwide  distributors  who are major
players  typical  of the  type  engaged  by  the  world's  significant  software
manufacturers.  These  include  the larger  international  distributors  such as
Ingram Micro,  Merisel and TechData,  and various second-tier  distributors.  In
less  developed   parts  of  the  world  the  Company  uses  regional  or  local
distributors.  In parts of Europe and South  America the Company  uses agents to
represent its interests.


Product Development

Since  inception,  the  Company  has made  substantial  investments  in  product
development. To date, the Company's products have been developed by its internal
product development staff and independent contractors. The Company believes that
timely  development  of new products and  enhancements  to existing  products is
essential to maintaining a competitive position in the market.

The Company currently has a staff of nineteen (19) development personnel located
in the Research and Development facility in San Diego,  California.  The Company
is focusing its development  efforts in two areas:  first, in the development of
algorithms to improve the translation  quality and second, in the development of
new language pairs to expand current markets or enter new markets.

Competition

Competition  in the PC software  industry in general is intense and includes not
only competition between similar product companies but all PC software companies
for retail  shelf space in general.  The same battle for  mindshare  is now also
being waged in online environments.  Thus the Company's  competitors include not
only other  companies who produce and market  machine  translation  products but
also  virtually  all software  companies who compete for shelf space in computer
software retailers, and translation services marketed on the Internet.

Within the software industry,  several manufacturers have made public statements
of their  intent  to  produce  or market  machine  translation  products.  These
companies  include   Microsoft,   Novell  and  IBM.  Among  direct  PC  software
competitors  there are a dozen or more companies,  including Logos,  Systran and
Transparent Language Inc., who market machine translation software products that
compete either in the PC marketplace or the online marketplace.

Globalink  holds  a  strong  position  in the  retail  marketplace  for  machine
translation  software.  The Company believes it has  successfully  pioneered and
dominated an emerging  software  industry segment to date and can continue to do
so as long as it continues to generate new and advanced products.

In order to be  successful  in the future,  the Company must continue to respond
promptly and  effectively  to all  challenges  of  technological  and  marketing
capabilities any competitor may offer.  The Company's  performance will continue
to depend on its ability to innovate,  as well as maintain  and solicit  quality
people in technical,  sales and management positions.  The Company will continue
to seek out and  recruit  the most  capable  and  experienced  staff in order to
maintain its competitive superiority.


Intellectual Property, Proprietary Rights, Licenses and Software Protection

The Company regards certain  features of its internal  operations,  software and
documentation  as  proprietary,   and  relies  on  a  combination  of  contract,
copyright,  trademark  and trade secret laws and other  measures to protect this
proprietary information. The Company has no patents, and existing copyright laws
afford only limited protection.  The Company believes that, because of the rapid
pace of technological change in the computer software industry, trade secret and
copyright  protection are less  significant  than factors such as the knowledge,
ability and experience of the Company's employees, frequent product enhancements
and the timeliness and quality of support services.

The Company  provides its products to end users under  non-exclusive,  perpetual
term  licenses,  which  generally  are  nontransferable.  The Company  generally
licenses its products solely for the customer's  internal operations and only on
designated  computers.  In certain  circumstances,  the Company makes  available
enterprise-wide  licenses.  The Company  does not make source code  available as
this may  increase the  likelihood  of  misappropriation  or other misuse of the
Company's intellectual property.


                                       9

The Company has  registered  its  "GLOBALINK"  service mark and trademark in the
United  States for  language  translation  services  and  computer  software for
foreign language translation,  respectively. The Company has also registered the
following marks in the United States:  "POWER  TRANSLATOR" for computer software
for foreign language translation;  "GLOBALINK THE TRANSLATION COMPANY", together
with the oval logo, for computer hardware and software for language translation;
"TRANSLATE  DIRECT"  for  language   translation   services.   The  Company  has
applications   pending  for  federal   registration  of  the  following   marks:
"COMPRENDE", "NO COMPRENDE? NO COMPRENDE, KNOW THE WORLD", "TRANSLATEPLUS", "WEB
TRANSLATOR",   "GLOBALINK   THE   TRANSLATION   COMPANY"  with  the  flag  logo,
"TRANSLATION @ YOUR FINGERTIPS",  the "Flag Design", and the "Comprende Design".
The Company is in the process of registering the mark "GLOBALINK", together with
its flag logo, in addition to the mark "WEB  TRANSLATOR",  in the United States,
Canada, the European Community  (Austria,  Belgium,  Denmark,  Finland,  France,
Germany,  Greece,  Ireland, Italy,  Luxembourg,  Netherlands,  Portugal,  Spain,
Sweden and the United Kingdom) and other major international markets in Asia and
South America;  the first of these concerns  language  translation  software and
services, whereas the latter has been filed in connection with software. The use
and registration rights of a trademark holder do not ensure that such holder has
superior  rights to others that may have  registered or used  identical  related
marks on related goods or services.

The Company believes that copyright protection,  which generally applies whether
or not a license agreement exists, is sufficient to protect the Company's rights
regarding its products.


Employees

As of December  31,  1997,  the Company had  seventy-three  (73)  full-time  and
part-time  employees  including nineteen (19) in product  development,  thirteen
(13) in marketing  and sales,  twenty-six  (26) in finance,  administration  and
shipping,  two (2) in customer support,  and thirteen (13) in language services.
The Company's future success will depend on, in part, its ability to continue to
attract,   retain  and  motivate  highly  qualified  technical,   marketing  and
management  personnel.  The  Company's  employees  are  not  represented  by any
collective bargaining  agreements,  and the Company has never experienced a work
stoppage. The Company believes that it has a satisfactory  relationship with its
employees.

ITEM 5     MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
           STOCKHOLDERS' MATTERS


The Company's  Common Stock was first listed for trading on June 4, 1993, on the
National   Association  of  Securities  Dealers  Automated  Quotations  (NASDAQ)
Small-Cap  Market  System  under  the  symbol  "GLNK."  As of May 1,  1994,  the
Company's  Common  Stock was listed for trading on the American  Stock  Exchange

The  Company has never paid cash  dividends  on its Common  Stock.  The Board of
Directors does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future as
it intends to retain future earnings to finance the growth of the business.  The
payment of future cash dividends will depend on such factors as earnings levels,
anticipated capital requirements,  the operating and financial conditions of the
Company and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.


As of February 27, 1998, there were  approximately  180 holders of record of the
Company's  Common  Stock.  The Company  believes that at such date there were in
excess of 2,700 beneficial owners of the Company's Common Stock.

ITEM 6     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
           CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-KSB contains historical information and forward-looking  statements
within the meaning of Section 21E of the Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform
Act of 1995,  including  material  regarding the future business  operations and
projected financial results of the Company. These forward-looking statements are
subject  to risks and  uncertainties  which  could  cause the  Company's  actual
results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Such risks and
uncertainties,  include, but are not limited to: general business conditions and
growth  in the  language  translation  industry  and  the  economy;  competitive
factors,  such as competing language translation software products and services,
acceptance  of new  language  translation  software  products  and  services and
pricing  issues;  timing of language  translation  software  product and service
introductions;   unanticipated   costs,   complications  or  delays  in  product
development; fluctuations in customer demand; risk of inventory obsolescence due
to shifts in market demand; risk of nonpayment of material customer receivables;
continued  success in current  product  enhancements  and  language  translation
technology  advances;  risks  associated  with the sales of  products in foreign
markets, including currency fluctuations; unanticipated costs or adverse effects
associated  with  distributors,  vendors  and  suppliers;  litigation  involving
intellectual property, licensing and consumer issues; availability of sufficient
resources  including  short- and long-term  financing to carry out the Company's
product development and marketing plans; and other unanticipated  business risks
and uncertainties.

Year 2000 Issue

Management  has  undertaken  an  investigation  of whether the  Company  will be
adversely  impacted by the issue of whether its systems are Year 2000 compliant.
Based on this review,  management has determined that a material  adverse impact
on the Company's financial statements is unlikely.  In addition,  as none of the
Company's  products  utilize dates or date fields  mathematically,  they are not
subject to Year 2000 compliance issues.

                                    -----------      -----------      --------


Globalink's  total sales increased 5% to $14,729,000 for the year ended December
31, 1997, from $13,976,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996. During 1997 the
Company  introduced a Portuguese  version of Power  Translator Pro 6.2 which has
been very well accepted in Brazil.  The Company continues to experience  revenue
pressures resulting from the increased efforts in reducing distributor inventory
in the channels, aligning sell-through campaigns with sales of products into the
channels  and  collecting  existing  receivable  balances  to  provide  for more
consistent sales cycles.


                                       15

<PAGE>

Product sales for the year ended  December 31, 1997,  increased 8%, or $958,000,
to  $13,387,000  from  $12,429,000  for the year ended  December 31, 1996.  U.S.
distributor channel sales increased 8% to $5,798,000 for the year ended December
31, 1997, from  $5,350,000 in the prior year. The Company  continues to open new
distributor  channels,  increase growth in the existing distributor channels and
pursue additional  Original  Equipment  Manufacturer  (OEM)  opportunities.  The
Language  Assistant  Series  Localized  version  and the  Power  Translator  and
Language  Assistant  Series  versions  for Windows in CD-ROM media have been the
primary  vehicles  for sales to the  Company's  distributors  and have been well
accepted. In addition, the Company introduced Power Translator 6.0 in June 1996,
Talk to Me in December 1996, Power Translator Pro 6.2 in March 1997 and Language
Assistant 2.0 in September  1997,  all of which have also been well accepted and
contributed to sales in 1997.

For the year ended  December  31,  1997,  international  sales  increased  7% to
$7,589,000 from $7,079,000 in the prior year.  International  sales  represented
51% of total sales in 1997 and 1996.  The primary  exports  have been to Europe,
Canada and Latin  America.  In 1997,  export sales to Brazil were  approximately
$3,159,000,  or 21% of total sales. In 1996,  export sales to France and Germany
were approximately  $2,126,000 and $1,495,000,  respectively,  or 15% and 11% of
total sales, respectively.  International sales have been primarily attributable
to further  development of the Company's network of international  distributors,
along with additional OEM contracts entered into in Latin America and Europe. In
addition, the Company's introduction of a Portuguese version of Power Translator
Pro 6.2 in March 1997 has been very well  accepted  in Brazil.  The  Company has
also  shifted  its focus in  Europe  away  from the  exclusive  use of key major
distributors  toward  smaller,  more active,  second-tier  distributors  who are
better able to promote and sell its  products  into the retail  channel of their
respective geographical locations.

Translation  Services  revenue  decreased 13% to  $1,342,000  for the year ended
December 31, 1997,  from  $1,547,000  for the year ended  December 31, 1996. The
decrease in revenues  for this group  resulted  from delays early in the year in
obtaining larger jobs and establishing more long-term  projects with the group's
customers.

Throughout 1997, the Company placed increasing  emphasis on developing  multiple
channels  of  distribution,  including  distributors,   resellers,  value  added
resellers  (VARs) and OEMs.  Globalink  also  continued  to develop a  telesales
group, which has proven to be successful.

Sales returns and allowances  decreased to $3,807,000 in fiscal 1997 compared to
$4,665,000  for the prior year.  The Company has continued its efforts to reduce
distributor  inventory and align  sell-through  campaigns with sales of products
into the channels.  Distribution  agreements  typically  allow for the return of
certain  merchandise to provide for stock  balancing.  The Company  continuously
monitors these programs and makes appropriate  accruals monthly to handle future
distribution stock balancing. The following table shows the gross product sales,
returns and net product sales for the periods indicated.

Cost of products sold  increased  33% in fiscal 1997 to  $2,347,000  compared to
$1,766,000  in the  prior  year.  The  increase  in cost of  products  sold  was
primarily due to a charge of $650,000 associated with a non-monetary transaction
the Company  entered  into with a customer  in December  1997 (see Note O to the
Company's  Financial  Statements  for further  discussion  of the  transaction).
Otherwise,  cost of products sold decreased by $69,000 due to decreased costs of
certain packaging  components.  This was partially offset by the increased costs
of certain  products due to associated  royalties for the licensing of products,
such as Talk to Me, and various  features,  such as speech  recognition and word
processing filters in other products. Gross profit margin was 84% in fiscal 1997
compared  to 87% in the prior year.  The  decrease  in gross  profit  margin was
directly attributable to the increase in cost of products sold.

Direct labor and fringes,  which principally include charges for independent and
in-house  translators  within the Translation  Services group,  decreased 12% in
fiscal  1997 to  $705,000  compared  to  $799,000  in 1996  as a  result  of the
decreased  revenues  in  1997.  These  expenses  increased  from 52% to 53% as a
percentage  of  Translation  Services  revenues.  This  increase  was  primarily
attributable  to  fluctuations  in the  number and  relative  size of jobs being
performed,  as the gross margin varies with the size of the job due to the fixed
administrative tasks that still must be performed.

Amortization  of  capitalized  software for the period ended  December 31, 1997,
increased 14% to $650,000 from $570,000 for the prior year. The increase was due
to the  release  of new  products  in the  latter  part of 1996 and in March and
September of 1997 for which previously  capitalized  software  development costs
began to be  amortized.  This was  partially  offset by the  impact  of  certain
previously  capitalized  software  development costs becoming fully amortized in
June of 1997.

Product   development   expenses,   which   consist  of  the  current   cost  of
non-capitalizable   development   expenses,   decreased  38%  to  $898,000  from
$1,452,000  for the prior  year.  The  decrease  was a result  of the  Company's
completion of several new products  resulting in reduced costs  associated  with
certain  outside  consultants  who were  assisting in the  development  of those
products.

Selling,  marketing  and other  expenses,  which  include  the costs of selling,
marketing,  customer  support,  shipping and  administration  for product sales,
decreased 3%, or $267,000, to $7,978,000 for the period ended December 31, 1997,
from $8,245,000 for the prior year. This decrease was primarily  attributable to
the Company's  increased focus of fiscal  resources on more effective  promotion
and  advertising  programs,   particularly  in  print  media  and  retail  store
promotions.


                                       17

General and  administrative  expenses  consist  primarily of payroll and related
expenses,  occupancy costs,  travel and related expenses for senior  management,
finance and accounting,  legal and  administration.  For the year ended December
31, 1997, general and administrative  expenses increased 12%, or $387,000,  from
the prior year. The increases occurred primarily in the areas of payroll,  legal
and accounting  fees,  insurance  costs,  rent and  depreciation  as a result of
additional expenses incurred to support the anticipated growth of the Company.

Other Income/Expense

Interest  expense was $22,000 for the fiscal year ended  December 31,  1997,  as
compared to $32,000 in the prior year. This was due to interest expense incurred
as a result of draws on the Company's revolving and equipment lines of credit.

Income Tax Expense

No provision for income taxes was required for the years ended December 31, 1997
and  1996,  due to the  Company's  net  operating  loss  ("NOL")  carryforwards.
Approximately $10,478,000 of NOL carryforwards existed at December 31, 1997. The
use of the NOL  carryforwards  is  limited  to future  taxable  earnings  of the
Company.

Variability of Operating Results

Although the Company has not identified any specific seasonality,  the Company's
revenues and operating results have varied  substantially from period to period.
Historically,  the  Company,  with the  exception  of its  Translation  Services
operations,  has  operated  with little  backlog of orders  because its software
products are  generally  shipped as orders are  received.  Product sales and OEM
agreements are difficult to forecast due to the relatively  early stages of both
the consumer market and the machine  translation  software market.  As a result,
small variations in the timing of product sales can cause significant variations
in operating results from period to period.

Liquidity and Financial Resources

The Company has secured a $3,000,000  demand note and a $750,000  equipment line
of credit with First Union  National  Bank. As of December 31, 1997, the Company
had $1,250,000 outstanding under the demand note, which is being used to finance
accounts  receivable and other working capital needs.  In addition,  the Company
had $326,000  outstanding  at December 31, 1997,  under the equipment line which
was used to finance furniture and equipment purchases.

During  1997 and 1996,  the  Company's  principal  uses of cash were to fund the
losses incurred and support the development of the Company's  software  products
and increases in accounts receivable and fixed assets.

In October 1996,  the Company sold three (3) prepaid  warrants to a private fund
at $500,000 per warrant for a total  consideration  of $1,500,000.  Each prepaid
warrant was  convertible  into a number of shares of Common Stock  determined by
dividing  the  exercise  amount by the  lower of $5.25 or 85% of the  arithmetic
average of the  closing  price of the Common  Stock on the five (5)  consecutive
trading days immediately  preceding the exercise date. The prepaid warrants were
convertible  on the  90th,  120th  and 150th day  following  the  closing  date,
respectively.


                                       18

<PAGE>

In December 1996 and January 1997,  the Company issued 40,224 and 4,191 units of
Series A-2 8%, convertible,  redeemable Preferred Stock and associated warrants,
respectively. Each unit consisted of one (1) share of 8% convertible, redeemable
Preferred  Stock and one (1) warrant to purchase ten (10) shares of Common Stock
at $4.18 per share.  Each share of Preferred Stock was convertible into (10) ten
shares of Common Stock at the holder's option.  Dividends on the Preferred Stock
are  cumulative  and payable  annually in  arrears,  beginning  January 1, 1998,
either in cash or in additional  shares of Preferred  Stock at the option of the
Company.  The offering  resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately
$1,253,000.

In March  1997 the  Company  issued  2,502  shares of Series  A-3,  convertible,
redeemable preferred stock and associated stock warrants to a private fund for a
total of $2,502,000.  Each share was convertible  into shares of common stock at
the lower of $3.44 per share, or 85% of the arithmetic average of the prior five
days closing  prices.  In addition,  the Company raised  $1,000,000 in a private
placement of 727,274 units in October 1997.  Each unit consisted of one share of
common stock and one warrant which  entitles the holder to purchase one share of
common stock at an exercise price of $1.75.

During 1997,  approximately  $2,160,000 was used to finance accounts receivable,
$473,000  was used to finance  capitalized  software  and  $136,000  was used to
purchase fixed assets. During 1996, approximately $1,860,000 was used to finance
accounts  receivable,  $437,000  was used to finance  capitalized  software  and
$271,000 was used to purchase  fixed assets.  The  remaining  proceeds have been
invested in short-term repurchase  agreements  collateralized by U.S. government
securities.

For the year ended December 31, 1997,  the Company's cash and cash  equivalents,
invested cash and marketable  securities decreased to $1,068,000 from $1,606,000
as a result  of the loss  incurred  for the year  along  with the  financing  of
accounts  receivable,  capitalized software and fixed assets. As of December 31,
1997,  the  Company  had  $9,130,000  in working  capital.  The  Company  has no
significant capital asset commitments.

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  1997,  accounts  receivable  increased  to
$11,200,000 from $9,040,000.  This increase of $2,160,000  resulted  principally
from the  increase in OEM  contracts,  which  typically  provide  for  graduated
installment payments over a period of up to 12 months. In addition,  the Company
has  experienced  certain  payment  delays from some of its OEM customers due to
various  factors,   such  as,  local  banking  regulations  in  Brazil  and  tax
withholding  requirements  in other  countries.  The Company has also filed suit
against one customer in France,  which  represents  approximately  $1,547,000 of
overdue  OEM  receivables.  The case will be heard in April 1998 and  management
believes  it is  probable  that the  balance  of this  receivable  will be fully
collected. The Brazilian economy has experienced significant shifts and currency
fluctuations  during  the  last  several  years.  With the  introduction  of the
Portuguese  version  of Power  Translator  Pro 6.2 in March  1997,  the  Company
experienced  significant  revenue  generation in the Brazilian market.  Accounts
receivable  at December 31, 1997,  included  approximately  $3,425,000  due from
Brazilian  partners.  While the Company has experienced some delays in scheduled
payments from such  partners,  it is  management's  belief that payments will be
made in full over the next  several  months.  Management  of the  Company  works
closely  with its  partners  on a  continuous  basis in order to  insure  timely
collection  of amounts owed to the  Company.  If the  Brazilian  economy were to
worsen  significantly,  timeliness of cash receipts from these partners could be
jeopardized  and thus adversely  impact the Company's  overall  working  capital
position.


                                       19

In addition,  accounts  receivable from distributors has increased.  In general,
the  contractual  payment  terms from  distributors  are between 60 and 90 days;
however,   the  Company  has  experienced  a  longer  payment  cycle  with  some
distributors,  which has resulted in an increase in their accounts.  The Company
introduced  new product  offerings in Latin America late in the second and third
quarters of 1997. In order to assist with the introduction of these new products
to the market,  the Company has allowed certain  distributors  extended  payment
terms on their purchases of these new products, which, in most instances, extend
through June 1998.

For the years  ended  December  31,  1997 and 1996,  net cash used in  operating
activities  was  approximately  $3,162,000  and  $3,009,000,  respectively,  due
primarily to net losses from  operations  and financing of accounts  receivable,
inventory and prepaid expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 1997, net cash used in investing  activities was
approximately  $610,000. For the year ended December 31, 1996, net cash provided
by investing activities was approximately  $871,000. In 1997 and 1996, investing
activities  consisted primarily of increases in capitalized software development
costs,  purchases  and sales of  marketable  securities  and purchases of office
equipment.

For the years ended  December 31, 1997 and 1996,  capital  expenditures  totaled
$136,000  and  $271,000,  respectively.  Capital  expenditures  were higher than
normal  in 1996  due to a  number  of  factors,  including  purchases  of new PC
equipment and software for new employees,  new trade show booths and other fixed
assets to accommodate the personnel growth of the organization.

For the years ended  December  31,  1997 and 1996,  cash  provided by  financing
activities was approximately  $3,234,000 and $2,924,000,  respectively.  For the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, financing activities consisted primarily
of the  issuance of  warrants,  preferred  stock and common stock along with the
issuance and repayment of debt under the Company's revolving and equipment lines
of credit.

The  Company  anticipates  that the net  proceeds  from the sale of the  prepaid
warrants and the issuance of the preferred and common stock units, together with
cash flow from operations,  existing cash balances and periodic borrowings under
the  Company's  bank lines of credit,  will be  adequate  to meet the  Company's
expected cash requirements through 1998.

While operating  activities may provide cash in certain  periods,  to the extent
the Company  experiences growth in the future, the Company  anticipates that its
operating and product development activities,  along with extended payment terms
for  certain  distributors,  may use cash,  and  consequently,  such  growth may
require the Company to obtain additional  sources of financing.  There can be no
assurances that unforeseen  events may not require more working capital than the
Company currently has at its disposal.

If  additional  funds are raised  through the issuance of equity or  convertible
securities,  the  Company's  current  shareholders  will  experience  additional
dilution.  While management of the Company believes  additional  funding will be
available  if and  when  needed,  there  can  be no  assurance  that  additional
financing will be available on terms  acceptable to the Company,  if at all. The
inability  to obtain  additional  financing,  if and when  needed,  would have a
material adverse effect on the Company.

Other than as discussed above, the Company is not aware of any known trends,  or
uncertainties,  that have had or are reasonably likely to have a material effect
on the Company's liquidity, capital resources or operations.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants


Board of Directors
Globalink, Inc.


We have  audited the  accompanying  balance  sheets of  Globalink,  Inc.,  as of
December  31,  1997  and  1996,  and  the  related   statements  of  operations,
stockholders'  equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These  financial
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management.   Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Globalink, Inc., as of December
31, 1997 and 1996,  and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 1997 and 1996


NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


    Nature of Operations

    The Company  designs,  develops,  publishes,  markets and  supports  foreign
    language   translation   and  language   learning   software  for  business,
    professional  and  personal  use  for  the  microcomputer  marketplace.   In
    addition,  the Company provides  professional  language services through its
    multilingual  staff  and  through  contract  arrangements  with  independent
    linguists/translators.   The  Company's   products  and  services  are  sold
    worldwide.

    Using Estimates in Preparing Financial Statements

    In preparing  financial  statements in conformity  with  generally  accepted
    accounting  principles,   management  is  required  to  make  estimates  and
    assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and
    the  disclosure  of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the
    financial  statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting  period.
    Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    Revenue Recognition and Significant Estimates

    Revenue  from  sales to  distributors  or  dealers  is  recognized  when the
    products  are  shipped   (transfer  of  title  occurs)  and  no  significant
    obligation  remains to the Company.  Revenue  billed or collected in advance
    for future  product  shipments  is  deferred  and  recorded as income in the
    period in which the products are shipped. Revenue from royalties pursuant to
    license  arrangements  with  certain  distributors  and  Original  Equipment
    Manufacturers (OEMs) is recognized upon delivery of the software. Generally,
    the  Company  has no,  or  insignificant,  obligations  remaining  under the
    agreement after delivering the software.  Payment terms under OEM agreements
    are  based  on  graduated  payment  schedules   generally  over  12  months.
    Allowances  for estimated  future  returns and exchanges are recorded in the
    period in which the related revenue is recognized.  Distribution  agreements
    typically  allow for the return of certain  merchandise to provide for stock
    balancing.   The  Company  continually   monitors  such  programs  and  uses
    historical  and  current  information  to  estimate  and record  appropriate
    accruals to provide for future stock  balancing.  Although it is  reasonably
    possible that  management's  estimate for future returns and exchanges could
    change in the near future,  management is not currently  aware of any events
    that would result in a change to its estimate which would be material to the
    Company's financial position or its results of operations.

    In October 1997,  the  American  Institute  of Certifited Public Accountants
    issued Statement of Position 97-2 ("SOP 97-2"), Softwae Revenue Recognition,
    which is effective for  transactions entered into  in fiscal years beginning
    after December 15, 1997.   Retroactive application of the provisions of this
    SOP  is  prohibited.   The SOP 97-2 provides guidance on applying  generally
    accepted  accounting  principles  in  recognizing  revenue  on  software
    transactions.   This SOP supersedes SOP 91-1,  Software Revenue Recognition.
    The effect of adopting this new standard is not expected to be material.

    Inventories

    Inventories  are stated at the lower of first-in,  first-out  (FIFO) cost or
    market.


                                                                             F-6

    Research and Development

    Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

    Capitalized Software Costs

    The Company  capitalizes  certain  initial  software  development  costs and
    enhancements  thereto  incurred  after  technological  feasibility  has been
    demonstrated.  To date, all products and enhancements  thereto have utilized
    proven technology.  Such capitalized  amounts are amortized  commencing with
    product  introduction over the greater of the ratio of current gross revenue
    for a product  to the total  expected  gross  revenue  over the life of that
    product,  or the straight-line  method over the remaining estimated economic
    life,  ranging from 24 to 36 months.  The unamortized  capitalized  costs by
    product  are  reduced to an amount  not to exceed the future net  realizable
    value by product at each balance sheet date.  Future net realizable value is
    determined  through  sales  forecasts  based  on  existing  and  anticipated
    dealer/distributor  agreements  and other  sales  contracts.  Although it is
    possible  that  management's  estimate for the future net  realizable  value
    could change in the near future,  management is not  currently  aware of any
    events that would result in a change to its estimate which would be material
    to the Company's financial position or its results of operations.

    The amount of development  costs capitalized in accordance with Statement of
    Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 86 for 1997 and 1996 was  $473,429 and
    $436,911,  respectively.  Amortization of software development costs charged
    to costs and expenses during the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, was
    $649,597 and $570,247, respectively.

    Income Taxes

    The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method pursuant to
    SFAS No.  109,  "Accounting  for Income  Taxes."  Deferred  taxes arise from
    temporary   differences,   primarily  attributable  to  differences  between
    depreciation and amortization for tax and financial statement purposes,  and
    reserves accrued for book purposes on accounts receivable and inventories.

    As a result of net  operating  losses for tax  purposes  for the years ended
    December 31, 1997 and 1996, a provision  for deferred  income taxes  arising
    from  temporary  differences,  primarily  due  to  differences  between  the
    treatment  of  capitalized  software  costs  and  depreciation  for  tax and
    financial statement purposes, has not been recognized.

    Depreciation

    Depreciation  is provided  for in amounts  sufficient  to relate the cost of
    depreciable  assets to operations  over their estimated  service lives.  The
    estimated lives used in determining depreciation are--

         Office and other equipment                             3-5 years
         Furniture and fixtures                                 5-7 years

    The  straight-line  method of  depreciation  is followed  for all assets for
    financial reporting purposes. Accelerated methods are used for tax purposes.


                                                                             F-7

    Loss per Common Share

    In 1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  Statement of
    Financial  Accounting  Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (EPS).
    This Statement  replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation
    of basic EPS. It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on
    the face of the income  statement  for all  entities  with  complex  capital
    structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of
    the basic EPS  computation  to the numerator and  denominator of the diluted
    EPS  computation.  Basic EPS  excludes  dilution and is computed by dividing
    income available to common  stockholders by the  weighted-average  number of
    common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential
    dilution that could occur if  securities or other  contracts to issue common
    stock were  exercised  or  converted  into  common  stock or resulted in the
    issuance  of common  stock that then  shared in the  earnings of the entity.
    Diluted  EPS is computed  similarly  to fully  diluted  EPS  pursuant to APB
    Opinion 15. In complying with the  requirements of SFAS No. 128, the Company
    has recalculated all prior period EPS data resulting in no change.

    The  following  table  reconciles  basic and diluted EPS for the years ended
    December 31:

                                                          1997           1996
                                                     ---------------------------
    Numerator
       Net loss                                      $ (1,615,804) $ (2,244,885)
       Preferred stock dividend                           (92,775)           -
                                                     ---------------------------

       Net loss available to common stockholders     $ (1,708,579) $ (2,244,885)
                                                     ---------------------------

       Denominator
          Weighted-average shares                       6,876,743     5,333,852
                                                     ---------------------------

    The loss per  common  share  for 1997  and 1996 do not  include  the  common
    equivalent  shares because the effect of such inclusion would be to decrease
    the loss per share. No  reconciliation  has been presented for the numerator
    and  denominator,  as the  antidilution of common  equivalent  shares causes
    basic and diluted EPS to be the same.

    Advertising Costs

    The Company  expenses the costs of first-time  advertising when the material
    is published. Prepaid advertising and brochures consist of advertising costs
    paid in advance of  publication.  Also included in prepaid  advertising  and
    brochures expense are the costs of developing  various marketing and product
    materials  for new  software.  These costs are expensed when the software is
    released.

                                                                             F-8

    Employee Stock Options

    Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for
    Stock-Based   Compensation,"  requires  that  stock-based   compensation  be
    accounted  for on the fair value  method as described in SFAS No. 123, or on
    the intrinsic  value-based method of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
    25 (APB 25),  whereby  if options  are priced at or above the quoted  market
    price on the date of grant,  there is no compensation  expense recognized by
    the Company as a result of the options. If the intrinsic  value-based method
    is used, pro forma net income and earnings per share must be disclosed as if
    the fair  value-based  method had been  applied.  The Company  continues  to
    account for its employee stock options in accordance with APB 25; therefore,
    the required pro forma  disclosures are contained in Note H to the financial
    statements.

    Cash and Cash Equivalents

    The Company considers all highly liquid securities purchased with a maturity
    of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

    Invested Cash

    The Company has  invested  excess cash in money market  accounts.  This cash
    investment is consistent with the Company's investment strategy to set aside
    cash not to be used for Company operations but to allow for liquidity as the
    need arises. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, invested cash totaled $1,000,000
    and $1,200,000, respectively, which amounts are collateralized by government
    securities held by the Company's bank.

    Liquidity

    The Company has incurred losses and used cash in its recent operation.   The
    Company anticipates that the net proceeds from past equity offerings, exist-
    ing cash balances, and periodic borrowings under the Company's bank lines of
    credit  will be  adequate to meet  the Company's  expected cash requirements
    through 1998.   In addition, the Company anticipates obtaining equity during
    1998.

    Reporting Comprehensive Income

    The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  recently  issued  Statement of
    Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive
    Income,"  effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This
    Statement  establishes  standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
    income and its components  (revenue,  expenses,  gains and losses) in a full
    set of  general-purpose  financial  statements.  This Statement requires all
    items required to be recognized under accounting  standards as components of
    comprehensive  income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed
    with the same  prominence as other financial  statements.  SFAS No. 130 does
    not require a specific format for that financial statement but requires that
    an enterprise display an amount representing total comprehensive  income for
    the period in that  financial  statement.  The  Statement  requires  that an
    enterprise classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a
    financial   statement   and  display  the   accumulated   balance  of  other
    comprehensive  income  separately


                                                                             F-9

    from retained earnings and  additional paid-in capital in the equity section
    of a statement of financial position.  Reclassification  of financial state-
    ments for earlier periods  provided for comparative  purposes  is  required.
    The  Company  will  comply  with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 130
    in fiscal year 1998.

    Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information

    The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  recently  issued SFAS No. 131,
    "Disclosures  About  Segments of an  Enterprise  and  Related  Information,"
    effective for periods  beginning  after  December 15, 1997.  This  Statement
    establishes  standards for the way that public business  enterprises  report
    information  about  operating  segments in annual  financial  statements and
    requires that those enterprises report selected  information about operating
    segments  in  interim  financial  reports  issued to  shareholders.  It also
    establishes  standards for related  disclosures about products and services,
    geographic areas and major customers.

    This Statement requires a public business enterprise to report financial and
    descriptive  information about its reportable operating segments.  Operating
    segments are  components of an  enterprise  about which  separate  financial
    information is available that is evaluated  regularly by the chief operating
    decision-maker  in  deciding  how to  allocate  resources  and in  assessing
    performance.  Generally, financial information is required to be reported on
    the basis that it is used internally for evaluating segment  performance and
    deciding how to allocate  resources to segments.  This Statement  requires a
    public  business  enterprise  to report a measure  of segment  profit  loss,
    certain  specific  revenue and expense items and segment  assets and certain
    other related  information;  and information  about the revenue derived from
    the  enterprise's  products or services  (or groups of similar  products and
    services),  about the  countries in which the  enterprise  earns revenue and
    holds  assets  and  about  major   customers   regardless  of  whether  that
    information is used in making operating decisions.  However,  this Statement
    does not require an  enterprise to report  information  that is not prepared
    for internal use if  reporting it would be  impracticable.  The Company will
    comply with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 131 in fiscal year 1998.

NOTE B--ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE--Continued


    The Company provides for an allowance for uncollectible  accounts receivable
    based on experience.  Although it is reasonably  possible that  management's
    estimate  for  uncollectible  accounts  could  change  in the  near  future,
    management  is not aware of any events that would  result in a change to its
    estimate  which  would be material to the  Company's  financial  position or
    results of operations.

    Included  in the  accounts  receivable  balance at  December  31,  1997,  is
    $1,547,000  due from a customer  which is currently in litigation in France.
    The case will be heard in April 1998, and management believes it is probable
    the balance of this receivable will be fully collected.

NOTE D--FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


    The financial statements include various estimated fair value information as
    of  December  31, 1997 and 1996,  as required by SFAS No. 107,  "Disclosures
    About Fair Value of Financial Instruments." Such information, which pertains
    to the Company's  financial  instruments,  is based on the  requirements set
    forth in the  Statement  and does not purport to represent the aggregate net
    fair value of the Company.

    The following  methods and assumptions  were used to estimate the fair value
    of each  class of  financial  instruments  for  which it is  practicable  to
    estimate that value:

    Cash and Cash Equivalents

    The  carrying  amount  approximates  fair value  because  of the  short-term
    maturity of these  instruments.  At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the carrying
    amount/estimated  fair value of these  assets is  approximately  $68,000 and
    $406,000, respectively.

    Invested Cash

    The  carrying  amount  approximates  fair value  because  of the  short-term
    maturity of these  instruments.  At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the carrying
    amount/estimated fair value of these assets is approximately  $1,000,000 and
    $1,200,000, respectively.

    Loans Receivable

    Outstanding loans receivable  included in other receivables  represent loans
    to  the  employees  of  the  Company.  The  carrying  amount  of  the  loans
    approximates  the fair value due to the nature of the  transactions  and the
    rates of interest  corresponding  to quoted market  prices  available to the
    Company. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the carrying  amount/estimated  fair
    value of these assets is approximately $328,000 and $95,000, respectively.

    Line of Credit and Notes Payable

    Quoted  market  prices for the same or similar  issues or the current  rates
    offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities are used to
    estimate  the fair value of the  Company's  line of credit.  At December 31,
    1997 and 1996,  the  carrying  amount/estimated  fair  value of this debt is
    approximately  $1,576,000  and  $1,495,000,   respectively,  recorded  as  a
    short-term  line of credit,  and  long-term  notes  payable in the financial
    statements.


                                                                            F-13

NOTE E--LINE OF CREDIT


    At December 31,  1997,  the Company had  available a  $3,000,000  short-term
    working  capital  line of credit at the lower of the bank's  prime rate plus
    .25%,  or LIBOR  plus  2.75%.  At  December  31,  1996,  the  Company  had a
    $2,000,000  short-term  working  capital line of credit (the  borrowing base
    facility) and a $2,000,000  intermediate-term working capital line of credit
    (the cash flow  facility),  at the lower of the  bank's  prime rate or LIBOR
    plus 2.50%.  In 1997, the short-term and  intermediate-term  working capital
    lines of credit were replaced by the  $3,000,000  line of credit  referenced
    above. Also, at December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company had a $750,000 fixed
    asset  line  of  credit  at the  bank's  prime  rate  plus  3/4%  and  1/4%,
    respectively.  All credit facilities are collateralized by the assets of the
    Company.  Under these credit  facilities the Company is required to maintain
    certain financial covenants.

    The rate of interest on the  short-term  working  capital  line of credit at
    December 31, 1997, was 8.47%. The short-term  working capital and the unused
    portion of the fixed  asset  line of credit  were set to expire on April 30,
    1999. On March 4, 1998,  the Company's loan agreement was modified to change
    the  $3,000,000  line of credit  from a time note having a maturity of April
    30,  1999,  to a  demand  note  which  shall  be  payable  on  demand.  This
    modification also removed all financial covenants from the agreement.

    At December 31, 1997,  $326,356 and $1,250,000 were outstanding on the fixed
    asset and short-term  working  capital lines of credit,  respectively,  with
    principal payments as follows:

         Year ending December 31,

              1998                                   $  1,484,356
              1999                                         92,000
                                                     -------------

                                                     $  1,576,356
                                                     -------------

    At December 31, 1996,  $495,356 and $1,000,000 were outstanding on the fixed
    asset and intermediate-term  working capital lines of credit,  respectively.
    The bank's rate of interest at December  31, 1996,  was 8.25%.  The lines of
    credit were renewed by the Company before their expiration on June 30, 1997.


NOTE F--LEASES


    The Company leases its office  facilities and certain office equipment under
    various operating leases. Lease terms range from one to four years.


                                                                            F-14

              1999                                        413,000

                                                     -------------



    Rent expense was $587,000 and $628,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997
    and 1996, respectively.


NOTE G--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


    During 1996,  the Company  loaned  $95,000 to two officers.  One officer was
    loaned  $25,000 at an interest  rate of 9 1/4%,  which was payable on demand
    and repaid during 1997. A second  officer was loaned  $70,000 at an interest
    rate of 8%, in two separate  promissory notes. Both notes were payable on or
    before December 1, 1997, with interest.

    Additional  notes were issued to the second officer during fiscal year 1997.
    On  December  17,  1997,  all  outstanding   notes  for  this  officer  were
    consolidated into one note of $327,750, including accrued interest. The note
    is a demand note with an interest rate of 8.95% and is due in full,  without
    demand notice, on December 17, 2000. As part of the agreement,  this officer
    pledged 140,000 shares of common stock as collateral.


NOTE H--COMMITMENTS


    Employment Agreements

    The Company has entered into employment agreements with three employees. The
    agreements are each for a three-year  period  commencing  between March 1995
    and June 1996 and will renew  automatically  for  succeeding  periods of one
    year unless sooner  terminated.  In the event the Company terminates without
    cause the employment of any of these  employees,  the employee shall receive
    an  amount  equal to one  year's  base  salary  plus  accrued  benefits  and
    incentive  compensation.  The agreements  contain a provision  which triples
    certain amounts due in the event of a hostile takeover.  The agreements also
    contain provisions for the accelerated vesting of options if certain defined
    changes to the composition of the Board of Directors should occur.


                                                                            F-15

NOTE I--WARRANTS, OPTIONS AND OTHER STOCK ISSUED


    Stock Options Issued

    The  Company  issues  options  to  employees  and  members  of its  Board of
    Directors  based on merit.  The Company has  accounted for its options under
    APB Opinion No. 25 and related  interpretations.  The options,  which have a
    term of five years when issued, are granted at various times during the year
    and vest based upon individual grant  specifications.  The exercise price of
    each option equals or exceeds the market price of the Company's stock on the
    date of grant. During 1997, 584,975 options granted previously were revalued
    to a lower exercise  price.  No  compensation  cost has been  recognized for
    employee  options.  Had compensation cost for the plan been determined based
    on the fair value of the  options at the grant  dates,  consistent  with the
    method in  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No.  123,
    "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's net loss would have
    been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

                                                          1997           1996

    Net loss per share--pro forma                          (0.34)         (0.56)

    The fair value of each option grant is estimated  on the date of grant using
    the Black-Scholes options-pricing method with the following weighted-average
    assumptions used for grants in 1997 and 1996, respectively: expected
    volatility of 42% and 40%;  risk-free  interest rate of 5.9% and 6.2% and
    expected lives of 2.9 and 2.7 years.

    of the  agreement,  the Company  also issued  33,613  options at an exercise
    price of $5.25 per share to the private  fund.  The  options  have a term of
    four years.  In addition,  the Company  issued 20,000 options at an exercise

    During 1996, the Company's Board of Directors  approved a private  placement

    stock warrants.  Dividends on the preferred stock are cumulative and payable
    annually in arrears, beginning January 1, 1998, in either cash or additional
    shares of preferred  stock,  at the option of the  Company.  The dividend is
    calculated  as 8% of the book  value  of the  stock,  based on its  original
    trading price.  The preferred stock is convertible into ten shares of common
    stock any time  after 30 days  from the date of  issuance.  Any  unconverted
    preferred  stock  remaining  at  January  1,  2002,  will  automatically  be
    converted into ten shares of common stock per preferred  share at that time.
    Each share of preferred stock was also issued with one warrant entitling the
    holder to  purchase  ten  shares of common  stock  each at $4.18 per  share.
    During 1997, 17,644 shares of Series A-2 preferred stock were converted into
    176,440  shares of common stock.  At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company

NOTE N--CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK


    Due to the  nature  of the  Company's  business,  sales to a few  customers,
    primarily software distributors and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs),
    have accounted for a significant  percentage of the Company's sales.  During
    1997,  one  customer  accounted  for 17% of net sales.  During  1996,  three
    customers  accounted  for 10% or  more  of net  sales  each  (in  aggregate,
    representing 37% of net sales). Accounts receivable at December 31, 1997 and

    amounts due from the Company's significant customer(s).


NOTE O--NON-MONETARY TRANSACTION


    In December 1997, the Company entered into a non-monetary transaction with a
    publishing company which included license agreements between the parties. No
    gain or loss  was  recorded  on this  transaction,  as  there  was an  equal
    exchange between the two companies.

    The Company  became a licensee under two  agreements.  The first, a one-year
    license for the use of six "Virtual Campuses"  established by the publishing
    company,  had a value of $600,000.  At December  31,  1997,  this amount was
    capitalized  as a prepaid  license,  the balance of which will be  amortized
    over the term of the  license  agreement.  The second  license,  relating to
    "Campus  Courseware"  provided  by the  publishing  company,  had a value of
    $650,000 which was expensed in 1997.

    In  exchange,  the Company  granted a license for its  Barcelona  Technology
    Server in five languages with a value of $1,025,000  which has been included
    in income in 1997.  In  conjunction  with this  license,  the  Company  will
    provide maintenance for a period of one year from the date of the agreement.
    The value of the  maintenance  agreement is $225,000 which has been recorded
