                          SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1997
 
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     The condensed financial statements of Syncronys Softcorp (the "Company")
for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997 are unaudited and reflect
all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments as well as
additional adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a
fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. These
condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for its fiscal year ended June 30, 1997. The results of operations for
the three months ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
results for the entire year ending June 30, 1998.
 
(2) NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
 
     Net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common
and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period. Common stock
equivalents and convertible debentures have been excluded from the computation
for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, as their inclusion would be anti-
dilutive.

ITS OTHER FILINGS WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION FROM TIME TO TIME.
 
OVERVIEW
 
     The Company develops, licenses and publishes software products, primarily
in the business utility category, designed to make PC's operate more
efficiently, effectively and securely. The Company currently has 12 products in
the marketplace and others in the development pipeline. Products currently in
the market are: (1) RAM Charger 3.0 which adds dynamic memory allocation for the
MacIntosh System 7.x; (2) MacAccess 2.0 which enables PCs to read, write and
format Mac floppy discs and most common removable media in Windows 3.1x and 95;
(3) WinKrypt, a Windows 95 security program that enables users to lock data,
secure e-mail and search for intruders; (4) Burn It!, a file deletion utility
for Windows 95 and MacIntosh System 7x; (5) & (6) CD-Speedster (PC) and
CD-Speedster (Mac), CD-ROM caching programs for Windows 95 and 3.1x, and
MacIntosh System 7x, respectively; (7) Windrenalin, an acceleration launch
program for Windows 95; (8) SoftRAM3, a program that monitors system
performance, accelerates CD-ROM data access and undertakes dynamic RAM
compression for Windows 3.1x; (9) Utility Belt, a bundled product consisting of
eight Windows 95 utility software programs, six of which were licensed from
other software publishers; (10) EyeCatcher, a Windows 95 program that turns a PC
or PC-adapted video camera into a motion-detection security system providing
instant, real-time fax, e-mail and telephone "alert" delivery and/ or replay of
recorded images triggered by custom pre-programmed cues or timing; (11) BigDisk,
a disk utility for Windows 95 that allows the PC to read all its hard drives as
one big drive and (12) Zipper, a powerful, yet easy-to-use ZIP archive
management utility for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0.
 
     Utility Belt shipped at the end of June 1997. Eye Catcher and BigDisk both
shipped during the first quarter of fiscal year 1998 and Zipper shipped during
the second quarter of fiscal year 1998.
 
     Entering fiscal 1998, Syncronys' business model has been refined so that
most of its new products are to be licensed on a royalty basis from outside
development firms to provide a steady stream of leading-edge software products
to capitalize on the Company's strong sales and marketing capabilities. This is
also intended to produce a substantial competitive advantage by allowing the
Company to: (1) access the most innovative and sophisticated software of
independent developers worldwide; (2) respond more quickly to rapidly
 
                                        6
<PAGE>   8
 
changing trends in the industry by selecting advanced software technology that
is ready for timely introduction and; (3) greatly reduce development cost and
risk.
 
     Syncronys in the second half of the 1997 fiscal year began to enter certain
overseas markets in Europe and Asia and believes these markets offer
considerable potential for incremental sales. Additionally, Syncronys expects to
begin to market its software technology to original equipment manufacturers and
corporate markets in Fiscal 1998, two markets in which it has not historically
participated and which offer significant potential for incremental sales with
existing, or moderately adapted, technology which it already owns or licenses.
 
FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS
 
     The Company generally believes that its operating results for any quarter
are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period. The Company has
in the past experienced fluctuations in its quarterly operating results and
expects such fluctuations to continue, to varying and unpredictable degrees, in
the future. Factors that contribute to fluctuations in the Company's quarterly
operating results include the timing of new product introductions, competitive
offerings, product shipments, product returns, promotional programs, seasonality
and general economic conditions. In addition, quarterly operating results are
affected by changes in market acceptance and sales of existing products.
Historically, seasonality has not been a significant factor for the Company.
 
     Moreover, because the Company generally ships its software products within
a short period after receipt of an order, it typically does not maintain a
material backlog of unfilled orders. As a result, revenues in any quarter or
other period are substantially dependent upon orders booked in that period.
Orders booked during any particular period are substantially dependent upon
numerous factors, including the scheduled release of new products and product
enhancements and updates by the Company and its competitors; the release or
anticipated release of complementary products by other software suppliers;
market acceptance of such products, enhancements and updates; delays in customer
orders in anticipation of industry developments and numerous other factors, many
of which are beyond the Company's control.
 
     Accordingly, the Company's revenues are difficult to forecast and may vary
significantly from quarter to quarter. In addition the Company's expense levels
for each quarter are, to a significant extent, fixed in advance based upon the
Company's expectation as to the net revenues to be generated during that
quarter. The Company therefore is generally unable to adjust spending in a
timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in net revenues.
Further as a result of these factors any delay in product introductions, whether
due to internal delays or delays caused by third party difficulties, or any
significant shortfall in demand in relation to the Company's expectations, would
have an almost immediate adverse impact on the Company's operating results and
on its ability to maintain profitability in a quarter.
 
     While the Company's expenses are, to a significant extent, fixed in
advance, the Company is making efforts to adjust spending in relation to net
revenues until such time, if any, that new products are released and such new
products and/or current products gain market acceptance. However, there can be
no assurance that new products will be released by the Company, or if released
that such releases will be on a timely basis; or that any products will achieve
any degree of market acceptance or that such acceptance will be sustained for
any significant period; or that they will be profitable, or that profitability,
if any, can be sustained. Failure to complete new products on a timely basis, or
lack of demand for products upon completion and distribution, would have a
severe material adverse effect upon the Company.

</TABLE>
 
     During FY 1998, the Company's revenues increased substantially because of
new product releases including BigDisk, Eye Catcher and Utility Belt. Sales for
the first quarter of FY 1997 were negligible as the Company released two
products, RAM Charger and MacAccess, late in the quarter.

</TABLE>
 
     Cost of revenues consists of direct manufacturing costs and royalty
expenses for the Company's software products. Cost of revenues as a percentage
of net revenues increased to 14% during FY 1998, from 9% in FY 1997, due in part
to royalty expenses associated with the release of several products. The overall
decrease in the cost of revenues during the first quarter of FY 1997 is directly
attributable to the decrease in net revenues.

</TABLE>
 
     Research and development expenses as a percentage of net revenues were 10%
during the first quarter of FY 1998. Research and development expenses increased
as a percentage of net revenues during the first quarter of FY 1997, due to the
decrease in revenues for the period. The Company expects research and
development expenses to increase during the second quarter of FY 1998 due to the
number of research and development staff and projects.
 
     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 (FASB
86), the Company examines the software development costs after technological
feasibility has been established to determine if the amounts are significant
enough to require capitalization. Through the end of the first quarter of FY
1998, these amounts have not been deemed significant, and substantially all
software development costs have been expensed in the period incurred. None of
the Company's research and development costs for FY 1997 or 1998 have been borne
directly by the Company's customers.
 
  MARKETING AND SELLING EXPENSES

</TABLE>
 
     Marketing and selling expenses are comprised mainly of salaries and
commissions, advertising and promotions, trade shows, and customer service and
technical support expenses. Marketing and selling expenses were significantly
higher during the first quarter of FY 1998 as compared to the first quarter of
FY 1997 due primarily to expenses associated with the introduction of new
products, and due to other expenses required to support net revenues during the
period. Marketing and selling expenses as a percentage of net revenues were
 .100% during the first quarter of FY 1997, due to the decrease in revenues for
the period.

</TABLE>
 
     General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues
decreased to 17% during the first quarter of FY 1998 due primarily to increases
in revenue. General and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of net
revenues during the first quarter of FY 1997, due to the decrease in revenues
for the period. Although the Company's general and administrative expenses are
to a significant extent fixed in advance, the Company is making efforts to
adjust spending in relation to the expected net revenues.

</TABLE>
 
     Other income and expense for the first quarter of FY 1998 consists largely
of interest income and expense. Other income and expense for the first quarter
of FY 1997 consists primarily of (1) accrued interest on convertible debentures
(2) the amortization of the related debt issuance costs and (3) a $621,862
non-cash charge to interest expense related to the issuance of convertible
debentures which were partially offset by interest income.
 
  NET INCOME (LOSS)
 
     For the reasons outlined above the Company realized net income of 387,953
during the first quarter of FY 1998 as compared to a $2,210,222 net loss during
the first quarter of FY 1997.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1997 was $1,236,375. Cash used
in operating activities during the first quarter of FY 1998 was $1,989,695. The
Company uses its working capital to finance ongoing operations and the
development and marketing of its software products. Additionally, the Company
evaluates from time to time acquisitions of products or companies that could
complement the Company's business, expand its product line, or augment its
revenues and cash flows.
 
     The Company has deferred revenues of $1,746,725 at September 30, 1997 for
products under guidelines of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 48,
"Revenue Recognition when Right of Return Exists". Management believes that
potential return rates and price protection reserves for its products were not
yet reasonably estimable based upon information available to the Company at the
time the products were initially shipped. The deferred revenue billed is
included in trade accounts receivable at September 30, 1997. The Company may
recognize as revenue the deferred revenue for its products in future quarters of
FY 1998 as information with respect to potential returns and/or price protection
requirements, if any, becomes available.
 
     The Company's success and ongoing financial viability is contingent upon
its selling of its products and the related generation of cash flows. The
Company evaluates its liquidity and capital needs on a continuous basis and
based on the Company's requirements and capital market conditions may, from time
to time, raise working capital through additional debt or equity financing.
There is no assurance that such financing will be available in the future to
meet additional capital needs of the Company, or that any such terms or
conditions of any such financing would be favorable to the Company. Should there
be any significant delays in the release of new products or should the Company's
working capital needs otherwise exceed its resources, the adverse consequences
would be severe. Both the management of the Company's current growth and the
expansion of the Company's current business involve significant financial risk
and require significant capital investment.
 
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
 
     In addition to the products already in retail distribution, the Company has
other new products under development (see "Overview" above, for descriptions of
these products).
 
     The Company believes continued investment in research and development to
develop state-of-the-art technology for incorporation into its products is
required if it is to remain competitive in the marketplace. As well, the Company
must also maintain favorable relations with vendors of PC platform, operating
system and peripheral equipment to enable it to develop and market competitive
software products.
 
     The Company depends on the successful development of new products,
including both new titles and the adaptation of existing titles to new platforms
and technologies, in order to expand its product offerings and to augment
revenues from products introduced in prior years that have declined in revenue
prospects. The Company also depends on upgrades of existing products to lengthen
the life cycle of such products. Finally, the Company must continually
anticipate and adapt its products to emerging personal computer platforms and
 
                                        9
<PAGE>   11
 
environments. If the Company's products become outdated and lose market share,
or if new products or existing product upgrades are not introduced when planned
or do not achieve the revenues anticipated by the Company, the Company's
operating results could be materially adversely affected.
 
     The length of time required to develop the Company's in-house products and
product upgrades typically ranges from six to 24 months, as is common in the
software industry. The Company has, as is common in the industry, experienced
delays in the planned release of new products or product upgrades from one to 12
months as a result of development completion delays, product testing and quality
assurance. There can be no assurance that such delays from the planned product
release dates will not occur in the future. Additionally, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to release new products on schedule or
that such new products, if released, will achieve market acceptance. If a
product's release is delayed, it may miss an important selling season and the
Company's expected return on its investment in the product could be materially
delayed or diminished.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
 
SETTLED MATTERS
 
     In 1996, the Company was contacted by the Florida Attorney General's Office
which initiated a civil investigation relating to the SoftRAM product line. THE
COMPANY COOPERATED WITH THIS INQUIRY AND SUBSEQUENTLY, THE COMPANY MADE A
PAYMENT OF $125,000 TO THE FLORIDA LEGAL AFFAIRS REVOLVING TRUST FUND IN FULL
SETTLEMENT OF THE MATTER. THE COMPANY HAS BEEN INFORMED THAT THE SETTLEMENT
AGREEMENT HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE FLORIDA ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE AND IS
AWAITING THE FLORIDA ATTORNEY GENERAL'S EXECUTION AND RETURN OF THAT AGREEMENT.
 
PENDING MATTERS
 
     In April 1997, the New York Attorney General's Office sent two letters
inquiring whether the Company could substantiate advertising claims made with
respect to its Windrenalin and CD Speedster products. THE COMPANY HAS RESPONDED
TO SUCH INQUIRIES AND FOLLOW-UP INQUIRIES AND BELIEVES THAT THE PERFORMANCE OF
ITS WINDRENALIN AND CD SPEEDSTER PRODUCTS SUPPORTS THE ADVERTISING CLAIMS. A
MEETING IS PLANNED IN NOVEMBER 1997 TO DISCUSS RESOLUTION OF THIS MATTER. THERE
CAN BE NO ASSURANCE, HOWEVER, THAT THIS MATTER WILL BE RESOLVED, OR IF RESOLVED,
WILL BE RESOLVED IN A MATTER FAVORABLE TO THE COMPANY.
 
     In September 1997, the Company and an officer (Daniel G. Taylor) were named
as defendants in an action commenced by PowerPro Software, Inc. in the
California Superior Court for the County of Santa Clara seeking compensatory and
consequential damages, punitive and exemplary damages, interest, declaratory
relief as to royalties and vesting of options and mandatory relief arising from
a software license agreement between it and the Company. THE COMPANY IS OF THE
VIEW THAT THIS ACTION IS WITHOUT MERIT AND INTENDS TO VIGOROUSLY DEFEND IT.
 
     On October 30, 1997, the Company was named as a defendant in an action
commenced by BINDCO Corporation ("BINDCO") in the California Superior Court for
the County of San Mateo seeking compensatory and punitive damages, interest,
attorneys fees and other costs relating to purchase orders and invoices issued
between the Company and BINDCO. THE COMPANY IS REVIEWING THE CHARGES ALLEGED IN
THIS ACTION AND INTENDS TO VIGOROUSLY DEFEND IT.
