debt restructuring efforts begun in March 1992. Pursuant to these efforts, the
Company consummated exchange transactions during fiscal 1997 with certain
holders of the Company's outstanding 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures,
15% Promissory Notes and 4% Promissory Notes, pursuant to which the Company
issued various combinations of 4% Promissory Notes, shares of Common Stock and
shares of Series B Preferred Stock in reliance upon the exemption from

were engaged in connection with such issuances. See "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

Trust warrants for the purchase of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $.18 per share in reliance upon the exemption from
registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. No. underwriters
were engaged in connection with such issuance. See Note 7 to Notes to

Part II, Item 7 of the Form 10-K of the Company is hereby amended and restated
in its entirety as follows:

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
                                 OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations

     Revenues decreased 9% from $24,559,000 in fiscal 1995 to $22,414,000 in
fiscal 1996 and decreased 1% from $22,414,000 in fiscal 1996 to $22,234,000 in
fiscal 1997. In fiscal 1996 system revenues decreased 17% from fiscal 1995 due
primarily to reduced sales of Contex Prepress Systems in domestic markets. In
fiscal 1997 system revenues decreased 2% primarily as a result of decreased
Publishing Pacific Rim and Contex Prepress Systems European sales. In fiscal
1996 service revenues increased 6% from fiscal 1995 primarily due to increased
international maintenance, training and integration service revenues in both
Contex and Publishing business groups. In fiscal 1997 service revenue increased
less than 1% primarily due to increased Contex Prepress Systems European
maintenance, training and integration service revenues partially offset by
reduced maintenance revenues in the Contex domestic and Publishing domestic and
European business groups.

     Gross margins decreased from 49% of revenues in fiscal 1995 to 45% of
revenues in fiscal 1996 and increased to 47% of revenues in fiscal 1997. System
margins decreased from 58% of revenues in fiscal 1995 to 55% of revenues in
fiscal 1996 and increased to 63% of revenues in fiscal 1997. The decrease in
fiscal 1996 was primarily the result of a combination of decreased operational
efficiencies resulting from the need for senior management to focus on the
restructuring effort and an increase in the proportion of hardware sales in the
European market for the Contex division. The increase in fiscal 1997 was
primarily the result of the increase in the proportion of domestic commercial
software sales. Service margins decreased from 33% of revenues in fiscal 1995
to 32% of revenues in fiscal 1996 and decreased further to 24% of revenues in
fiscal 1997. The decrease in service margins in both fiscal 1996 and fiscal
1997 was the result of a decrease in Publishing division revenues and higher
level of fixed costs, and increased proportion of third party training and
consulting expenses, which have a lower gross margin than the Company's
internal services.

     Research and development expenses, including capitalized software
development costs, were $4,410,000, $4,512,000 and $4,381,000 for fiscal 1995,
1996 and 1997, respectively. These amounts represented 18%, 20% and 19% of
revenues, respectively. Capitalized software costs were $1,413,000, $1,087,000
and $1,477,000 in fiscal 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The increase in
research and development expenditures from fiscal 1995 to fiscal 1996 was
mainly the result of increased headcount and its associated costs. The decrease
in research and development expenditures from fiscal 1996 to fiscal 1997 was
primarily due to decreased headcount and other cost control efforts in the
Publishing division. Research and development costs, excluding capitalized
software development costs, were 12%, 15% and 13% of revenues during fiscal
1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively.

     Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased from $8,208,000
(or 33% of revenues) in fiscal 1995 to $11,152,000 (or 50% of revenues) in
fiscal 1996 and decreased to $7,861,000 (or 35% of revenues) in fiscal 1997.
During fiscal 1996 significant increases occurred in payroll, travel and trade
show expenses, primarily in Europe, reflecting the Company's strategy to grow
its international markets. The increase in fiscal 1996 also reflects increases
to the Company's bad debts allowances, primarily for the Contex business group.
The decrease from fiscal 1996 to fiscal 1997 was primarily due to cost
awareness and containment.

     During fiscal 1996, the Company incurred restructuring charges of
$500,000. Included in the charge were approximately $385,000 of severance and
employee benefits for the December 1995 workforce reduction, a $70,000
write-off of equipment associated with the staff reduction and a write-down of
$45,000 for capital assets not expected to contribute to future operations.

     Interest income was $9,000, $7,000 and $7,000 in fiscal 1995, 1996 and
1997, respectively. The low amount of interest income in each of the fiscal
years was due to the Company's low level of cash available for investing.
Interest expense from third parties was $284,000, $424,000 and $263,000 in
fiscal 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Interest expense from third parties
includes the interest obligation on the Company's 6% Convertible Subordinated
Debentures (the "Debentures") and the quarterly interest payments on the 4%
Promissory Notes. The increase in the fiscal 1996 interest expense was
primarily due to the impact of the program to exchange 15% Promissory Notes for
equity securities and 4% Promissory Notes (also, please see Note 8 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements). Interest expense decreased in fiscal
1997 as a result of the program to exchange the Debentures and 4% Promissory
Notes for equity securities (also please see note 8 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements) . Interest expense with Tudor Trust, the
largest Stockholder of the Company, was $244,000, $384,000 and $744,000 in
fiscal 1995, 1996 and 1997 (also, please see Note 7 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements).

     During fiscal 1997, the Company entered into exchange transactions with
certain investors holding Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of
$370,000. These Debenture holders exchanged their Debentures for (i) an
unsecured, unsubordinated promissory note of the Company, in the principal
amount equal to 30% of the principal amount of the Debentures delivered for
exchange, which bears interest at 4% per year (payable quarterly) and matures
30 months from issuance, and (ii) 137,000 shares of common stock of the Company
per $1,000,000 principal amount of Debentures exchanged, and (iii) 13,000
shares of Series B preferred stock per $1,000,000 principal amount of
Debentures exchanged. As a result of the 1997 exchanges, the Company realized
an extraordinary gain of $100,000, or $.01 per share.

     As a result of the 15% Promissory Note exchange programs described on Note
8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company accrued dividends of
$35,000, $86,000 and $94,000 on the Series B Preferred Stock during fiscal
1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively.

     Net income allocable to common stockholders was $286,000 for fiscal 1995.
The Company recorded net losses allocable to common stockholders of $5,973,000
and $1,353,000 for fiscal 1996 and 1997, respectively.

     The Company believes inflation has not had a material effect on its
results of operations to date.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At March 31, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $261,000,
which is a decrease of $71,000 from the previous fiscal year end. Approximately
$35,000 of cash was used by operations and approximately $1,974,000 of cash was
used in investing activities in fiscal 1997. The Company plans to continue its
aggressive efforts of managing working capital.

     In fiscal 1997 the Company invested $1,980,000 in capital assets,
including $1,477,000 of capitalized software costs, reflecting the Company's
continuing commitment to its product development programs. The Company
anticipates it will continue to invest in capital assets as required to support
its product development efforts and general business needs in future periods.

     As of March 31, 1997, the Company had a $5,000,000 amended line of credit
with Tudor Trust, the largest stockholder of the Company. Mr. Jeffrey L.
Neuman, trustee of Tudor Trust, also serves as Chairman of the Board of
Directors of the Company. This credit line, which is payable on demand, is
secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and has been used for
working capital and general business purposes. The credit line currently bears
interest at a rate of 8% per year, payable monthly. As of March 31, 1997 the
Company had an outstanding line of credit balance of $4,900,000. In early
fiscal 1998, the Company and the investor agreed in principle on an amendment
to the line of credit that would increase the maximum loan amount thereunder
from $5,000,000 to $6,000,000. Such amendment would also provide that the
investor shall have the sole discretion to decide whether or not to make any
and all advances of funds in excess of $5,000,000, and that the investor shall
have the right to refuse to make any advances of any such funds in excess of
$5,000,000 for any reason or no reason. As of July 15, 1997, the Company was
fully utilizing the credit available under the amended line of credit.

     At the beginning of fiscal 1992, the Company had outstanding $22,410,000
of Debentures. This was a significant amount of debt for the Company and
represented an annual cash interest payment obligation of $1,344,600. During
fiscal 1992, the Company began a program to restructure its financial position,
specifically, these Debentures.

     Between March 10, 1992 and September 30, 1996, the Company consummated
restructuring transactions with the holders of a total of $19,035,000 principal
amount of Debentures. Substantially all of these transactions involved the
exchange of outstanding Debentures for (i) an unsecured, unsubordinated
promissory note of the Company in a principal amount equal to 30% of the
principal amount of the Debentures delivered for exchange, bearing interest
(payable at maturity) at 15% per year (compounded annually) and maturing 30
months from issuance and (ii) 107,095 shares of common stock of the Company per
$1,000,000 principal amount of Debentures.

     During the course of its attempts to restructure the Debentures and
negotiate transactions with Debentureholders, the Company did not make the
interest payment due on the Debentures on May 5 of 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996
or 1997. Under the terms of the Indenture covering the Debentures, the Trustee
or the holders of not less than 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the
Debentures have the right to accelerate the maturity date of the remaining
Debentures. As of July 15, 1997, no such acceleration had occurred or been
threatened.

     In addition, as of March 31, 1997, the Company had issued promissory notes
in an aggregate principal amount of $5,815,000 in connection with the Debenture
exchange transactions described above, the interest on which accrues at a rate
of 15% per year and is $2,452,000 payable at maturity. Such 15% Promissory
Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $4,542,000 were to mature on
September 30, 1994, and the remainder of these 15% Promissory Notes were to
mature at various dates between September 30, 1994 and December 30, 1998. In
order to relieve itself of the payment obligations on the Promissory Notes, in
fiscal 1995 the Company began a program to restructure the Promissory Notes.
Prior to September 30, 1996, the Company closed exchange transactions with 15%
Promissory Note holders of an aggregate principal amount of $5,709,000 and
accrued interest of $2,353,000, in which, in exchange for the delivery of a 15%
Promissory Note (including all rights to receive any interest accrued thereon)
for cancellation, the Company issued (i) a new Promissory Note that will mature
30 months from the date of issuance and bears interest at 4% per annum, (ii)
one share of common stock for each $10.00 of principal amount of 15% Promissory
Note delivered and (iii) one share of Series B Preferred Stock for each $10.00
of interest due on the 15% Promissory Note delivered. The Series B Preferred
Stock accrues a cumulative dividend in the amount of $.40 per share per annum,
whether or not declared, and has a liquidation preference of $12.50 per share,
plus any dividends declared or accrued but unpaid. Each share of Series B
Preferred Stock is convertible into two shares of common stock, subject to
adjustment for certain events. Additionally, holders of outstanding shares of
Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to voting rights equivalent to the rights
attributable to the whole shares of common stock into which the shares of
Series B Preferred Stock are convertible. The exchange transactions were
completed assuming a fair value of $10 per share of Series B Preferred Stock.
As of March 31, 1997, 15% Promissory Notes in an aggregate principle amount of
$60,000 and accrued interest of $26,000 were overdue. The Company may seek to
restructure the remaining 15% Promissory Notes but there can be no assurance
that it will do so.

     As of March 31, 1997, the Company has completed transactions with holders
of an aggregate of $4,974,000 principle amount of the then outstanding 4%
Promissory Notes. Under the terms of the exchange agreements, the holders of
the 4% Promissory Notes exchanged their 4% Promissory Notes for such number of
shares of common stock of the Company as is equal to the principal amount of
the 4% Promissory Notes exchanged divided by $2.00 (any accrued but unpaid
interest was paid in cash as the time of such exchange). The Company has
accounted for the conversions as a contribution of capital by significant
shareholders.

     On September 30, 1996, the Company completed transactions with investors
holding an aggregate amount of $2,000,000 principal amount of the Debentures.
Under the terms of the agreement, holders of the Debentures exchanged their
Debentures for such number of shares of common stock of the Company as is equal
to the sum of the principal amount of the Debentures exchanged plus the accrued
interest thereon, divided by $3.33. As of March 31, 1997, a total of $1,375,000
principal amount of Debentures remained outstanding. Of such Debentures, the
Company has identified the holders of $315,000 principal amount, leaving the
holders of $1,060,000 principal amount of Debentures unidentified. The Company
has accounted for the conversions as a contribution of capital by significant
shareholders.

     The Company continues to negotiate, in good faith, with as many of the
remaining holders of Debentures, 15% Promissory Notes and 4% Promissory Notes
as possible. However, despite the progress that has been made, the Company can
still give no assurance about the outcome of these restructuring efforts and
does not expect the matters to be resolved in the near future. If the Company
is unable to enter into exchange transactions with the remaining holders, and
such holders seek to pursue legal remedies against the Company, the Company may
have to seek protection under applicable laws, including the Bankruptcy Code,
while it develops, analyzes and completes alternative restructuring strategies.
 

     The Company anticipates that its cash requirements for fiscal 1998 will be
satisfied mainly from its credit line, assuming the continued forbearance by
the Debentureholders and the availability of increased borrowings under the
credit line should the Company require them. However, there can be no assurance
that such forbearance will continue or that the investor will advance any funds
in excess of $5,000,000 under the credit line. In addition, the Company
anticipates an increased level of cash requirements in fiscal 1998 and has
begun negotiations to amend its credit line to facilitate increased borrowing.
There can be no assurance, however, that such negotiations will be successful
or that increased borrowings will be available under the Company's credit line.
The above uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recovery and classifications of recorded asset
amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Part II, Item 8 of the Form 10-K of the Company is filed herewith as follows:



ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA


                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Xyvision, Inc.:

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Xyvision,
Inc. as of March 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in stockholders' deficit and cash flows for each of the
three fiscal years in the period ended March 31, 1997. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to report 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 report.

     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred a loss from
operations in fiscal 1997 and has a working capital deficit and a stockholders'
deficit at March 31, 1997 and 1996. On May 5, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, and
1992, the Company elected not to make the interest payment that was due on its
6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures. Under the terms of the Indenture
covering the debentures, the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% of the
outstanding principal amount of the debentures have the right to accelerate the
maturity date of the remaining debentures. As of July 15, 1997, no such
acceleration had occurred. The Company's attainment of profitable operations
and sufficient additional financing, as well as the continued forbearance of
its Debentureholders, cannot be determined at this time. These uncertainties
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's actions in regard to these matters are described in Notes
7 and 8. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to
the recovery and classifications of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and
classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern.

     Because of the significance of the uncertainties referred to in the
preceding paragraph, we are unable to express, and we do not express, an
opinion on the consolidated financial statements referred to above.
                                                      COOPERS & LYBRAND, L.L.P.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


   a. NATURE OF BUSINESS: Xyvision, Inc. (the "Company"), which operates in a
     single industry segment, designs and markets software for publishing,
     document management, color design, and prepress applications.

   b. BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The consolidated financial statements include the
     accounts of Xyvision, Inc. and all its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
     significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

   c. CASH: The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased
     with an original maturity of three months or lower to be cash equivalents.
      

   d. INVENTORIES: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined
     under the first-in, first-out method, or market.

   e. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major
     renewals and improvements are capitalized while repair and maintenance
     charges are expensed when incurred. Depreciation and amortization are
     computed on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets,
     except for leasehold improvements that are amortized over the lesser of
     the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the related asset.
     When assets are sold or retired, their cost and related accumulated
     depreciation are removed from the accounts. Any gain or loss is included
     in income.

     The following lives are used to provide for depreciation and amortization:
      

<TABLE>

                                                      LIVES IN YEARS
                                                      ______________
       Design, test, and manufacturing equipment      2-5
       Office furniture and fixtures   ............   7
       Leasehold improvements .....................   2-10
       Purchased software  ........................   5
       Delivery and service vehicles   ............   3
</TABLE>

   f. REVENUE RECOGNITION: Revenues from equipment, software, and supplies are
     recognized upon shipment. Maintenance revenues are recognized over the
     contractual periods and noncontractual maintenance services are recognized
     as the services are provided.

   g. SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS: Costs for research, design, and development
     of software for sale to others incurred prior to the achievement of
     "technological feasibility" are charged to expense. The Company
     capitalizes certain software costs in accordance with Statement of
     Financial Accounting No. 86, "Accounting for costs of computer software to
     be sold, leased or otherwise marketed." The Company's policy is to
     amortize capitalized software costs by the greater of (a) the ratio that
     current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and
     anticipated future gross revenues for that product or (b) the
     straight-line method over the remaining estimated life of the product
     including the period being reported on. It is reasonably possible that
     those estimates of anticipate future gross revenues, the remaining
     estimated economic life of the product, or both will be reduced
     significantly in the near term. As a result, the carrying amount of the
     capitalized software costs may be reduced materially in the near term.

   h. INCOME TAXES: The Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting
     Standards Board Statement ("FAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."
     Income tax expense is based on reported earnings before income taxes.
     Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between
     the amount of assets and liabilities recognized for financial statement
     purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes. These deferred
     taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax rates. Applicable tax
     credits are recognized as a reduction in the provision for income taxes in
     the year in which they are available.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

   i. WARRANTY COSTS: The Company warrants the majority of its products for 90
     days from the date of customer acceptance. Estimated warranty costs are
     provided at the time of sale. Warranty costs incurred by the Company have
     not been significant.

   j. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE: Net income per common share is based upon the
     weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding
     during the period. Common equivalent shares are included in the per share
     calculations where the effect of their inclusion would be dilutive. Net
     loss per common share is based upon the wieghted average number of common
     shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares result from
     the assumed exercise of outsanding stock options, the proceeds of which
     are then assumed to have been used to repurchase outstanding common stock
     using the treasury method. Fully diluted net income per share is not
     materially different from the reported primary net income per share for
     all periods presented.

   k. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK: Financial instruments that potentially
     subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally
     of trade receivables.

     Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are due to
     the number of customers operating primarily in the electronic publishing
     industry, which includes commercial publishers, printers, and trade shops.
      

   l. USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
     with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
     liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
     date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
     expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates
     included in the financial statements are accounts receivable and sales
     allowances, as well as the amount of capitalized software costs. Actual
     results could differ from those estimates.

   m. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT: The Financial Accounting Standards Board
     ("the FASB") issued Statement No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings per Share,"
     which modifies the way in which earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated
     and disclosed. Currently, the Company discloses primary EPS. Upon adoption
     of this standard for the fiscal period ending December 31, 1997, the
     Company will disclose basic EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and common
     stock equivalents and is computed by dividing income available to common
     shareholders by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding
     for the period. The adoption of SFAS 128 is not expected to have a
     material impact on the earnings per share calculation. The Company will
     implement SFAS 128 as of December 31, 1997.


2. Accounts Receivable

     Trade receivables do not contain any material amounts collectible over a
period in excess of one year.


3. Inventories

     Inventory consists primarily of finished goods from third party vendors.


4. Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment consists of:

7. Note Payable to Shareholder


     On June 30, 1992, the Company obtained a $2,000,000 line of credit with
Tudor Trust (the "investor"), the largest stockholder of the Company. Mr.
Jeffrey Neuman, trustee of the investor, also, serves as Chairman of the Board
of Directors of the Company. The line, which is payable on demand, is
collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company and has been
used for working capital and general business purposes. Interest on the line of
credit is payable monthly. The Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock
and a common stock purchase warrant for 100,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $.50 per share to the investor for no additional
consideration upon signing of the line of credit. In addition, as required by
the line of credit, from September 30, 1992 through June 30, 1993, the Company
granted the investor four additional common stock purchase warrants, each
covering 100,000 shares of common stock. On September 28, 1993, the Company and
the investor amended the line of credit. Under the terms of this amendment: (i)
the amount available under the line of credit was increased from $2,000,000 to
$2,500,000; (ii) the annual interest rate was reduced from 13% to 10%; and
(iii) the term of the line of credit was extended from June 30, 1994 to June
30, 1995. In consideration of such changes, the Company: (i) reduced the
exercise price of 200,000 and 100,000 common stock purchase warrants
exercisable by the investor from $.50 and $.25 per share, respectively, to $.09
per share (the fair market value of the common stock on September 28, 1993);
(ii) issued 200,000 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase 300,000
shares of

common stock at an exercise price of $.09 per share to the investor for no
additional consideration; and (iii) agreed to grant the investor up to eight
additional warrants, each covering 125,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price at the lesser of the fair market value of the common stock on
the date of issue or $1.00 per share.

     On December 3, 1993, the Company and the investor entered into an
additional amendment to the line of credit. Under the terms of this amendment,
the amount available under the line of credit was increased to $3,000,000. In
consideration of this change, the Company: (i) issued 100,000 shares of common
stock and a warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at fair market
value of the common stock on December 3, 1993 and (ii) agreed to grant the
investor up to seven additional common stock purchase warrants between December
31, 1993 and June 30, 1995, each covering 200,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price at the lesser of the fair market value of the common stock on
the date of grant or $1.00 per share (these warrants are in lieu of the last
seven of the warrants referred to in clause (iii) of the preceding paragraph).

     On February 29, 1996, the Company and the investor entered into an
additional amendment to the line of credit. Under the terms on this amendment,
the amount available under the line of credit was increased to $4,000,000 and
the term of the line of credit was extended to December 31, 1997. In
consideration of these changes, the Company granted the investor a common stock
purchase warrant for 200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$.10 per share (the fair market value of the common stock on the date of
issuance of such warrant) and agreed to continue to grant the investor, for
each fiscal quarter for which amounts are outstanding under the credit line, a
common stock purchase warrant for 200,000 shares of common stock provided that
the number of shares subject to the warrant shall be 325,000 (rather than
200,000 shares in the event that the maximum amount of outstanding credit line
advances on one or more dates during the quarter ending on the issue date of
such warrant exceeds $3,000,000). The exercise price of the first five warrants
(beginning with the warrant for the quarter ended September 30, 1995) will be
at the lesser of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the
grant or $1.00 per share while the exercise price of the final five warrants
will be the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant.

     Late in fiscal 1996, management of the Company concluded that, due
principally to the significant losses from operations in the third and fourth
quarters of fiscal 1996 (which amounted to approximately $1.8 million and $2.5
million, respectively), the Company's $4,000,000 credit line would be
insufficient to finance the Company's cash needs during the first quarter of
fiscal 1997. Accordingly, after investigating a number of alternative sources
of financing, the Company entered into an amendment to its line of credit
agreement with Tudor Trust, effective as of May 31, 1996, pursuant to which (a)
Tudor Trust agreed to (i) increase the maximum loan amount to $5,000,000, (ii)
reduce the interest rate on the line of credit from 10% to 8% per annum, (iii)
eliminate any borrowing covenants or conditions that would prevent the Company
from accessing the full $5,000,000 of available credit, and (iv) eliminate the
requirement for the issuance of additional warrants to Tudor Trust under the
line of credit (which were issuable on a quarterly basis), and (b) in
consideration therefor, the Company issued to Tudor Trust warrants for
10,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $.10
per share (representing the parties' understanding as to the fair market value
of the common stock of the Company as of the date of warrant issuance). On July
11, 1997, the Company received an independent third-party calculation of the
fair market value of the common stock of the Company as of the date of warrant
issuance of $.18 per share. On July 15, 1997, the Company and Tudor Trust
agreed to amend the warrants to increase the exercise price to $.18 per share.
In connection with this line of credit amendment, Tudor Trust exercised
warrants for the purchase of 2,092,500 shares of common stock of the Company,
for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000.

     On July 14, 1997, the Company received an independent third-party
calculation of the value of the common stock purchase warrants as of the date
of warrant issuance of $.06 per warrant. The value of the warrants is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over the two year term of the credit line.
As a result of this calculation, the Company amortized additional interest
expense of $250,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997.

     In early fiscal 1998, the Company and the investor agreed in principle on
an amendment to the line of credit that would increase the maximum loan amount
thereunder from $5,000,000 to $6,000,000. Such amendment would also provide
that the investor shall have the sole discretion to decide whether or not to
make any and all advances of funds in excess of $5,000,000, and that the
investor shall have the right to refuse to make any advances of any such funds
in excess of $5,000,000 for any reason or no reason.

     As of March 31, 1997, the Company had an outstanding credit line balance
of $4,900,000. As of July 15, 1997, the Company was fully utilizing the credit
available under the amended line of credit.

</TABLE>

     In May 1987, the Company issued $25,000,000 of Debentures convertible into
common stock at a conversion price of $22.50 per share. Interest on the
Debentures is payable annually (on May 5th) and the Debentures may be called by
the Company under certain conditions. At the beginning of fiscal 1992, the
Company had outstanding $22,410,000 of these Debentures. This was a significant
amount of debt for the Company and represented an annual cash interest payment
obligation of $1,344,600. During fiscal 1992, the Company began a program to
restructure its financial position, specifically, these Debentures.

     At the beginning of fiscal 1992, the Company had outstanding $22,410,000
of Debentures. This was a significant amount of debt for the Company and
represented an annual cash interest payment obligation of $1,344,600. During
fiscal 1992, the Company began a program to restructure its financial position,
specifically, these Debentures.

     Between March 10, 1992 and September 30, 1996, the Company consummated
restructuring transactions with the holders of a total of $19,035,000 principal
amount of Debentures. Substantially all of these transactions involved the
exchange of outstanding Debentures for (i) an unsecured, unsubordinated
promissory note of the Company in a principal amount equal to 30% of the
principal amount of the Debentures delivered for exchange, bearing interest
(payable at maturity) at 15% per year (compounded annually) and maturing 30
months from issuance and (ii) 107,095 shares of common stock of the Company per
$1,000,000 principal amount of Debentures.


     During the course of its attempts to restructure the Debentures and
negotiate transactions with Debentureholders, the Company did not make the
interest payment due on the Debentures on May 5 of 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996
or 1997. Under the terms of the Indenture covering the Debentures, the Trustee
or the holders of not less than 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the
Debentures have the right to accelerate the maturity date of the remaining
Debentures. As of July 15, 1997, no such acceleration had occurred or been
threatened.


     In addition, as of March 31, 1997, the Company had issued promissory notes
in an aggregate principal amount of $5,815,000 in connection with the Debenture
exchange transactions described above, the interest on which accrues at a rate
of 15% per year and is $2,452,000 payable at maturity. Such 15% Promissory
Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $4,542,000 were to mature on
September 30, 1994, and the remainder of these 15% Promissory Notes were to
mature at various dates between September 30, 1994 and December 30, 1998. In
order to relieve itself of the payment obligations on the Promissory Notes, in
fiscal 1995 the Company began a program to restructure the Promissory Notes.
Prior to September 30, 1996, the Company closed exchange transactions with 15%
Promissory Note holders of an aggregate principal amount of $5,709,000 and
accrued interest of $2,353,000, in which, in exchange for the delivery of a 15%
Promissory Note (including all rights to receive any interest accrued thereon)
for cancellation, the Company issued (i) a new Promissory Note that will mature
30 months from the date of issuance and bears interest at 4% per annum, (ii)
one share of common stock for each $10.00 of principal amount of 15% Promissory
Note delivered and (iii) one share of Series B Preferred Stock for each $10.00
of interest due on the 15% Promissory Note delivered. The Series B Preferred
Stock accrues a cumulative dividend in the amount of $.40 per share per annum,
whether or not declared, and has a liquidation preference of $12.50 per share,
plus any dividends declared or accrued but unpaid. Each share of Series B
Preferred Stock is convertible into two shares of common stock, subject to
adjustment for certain events. Additionally, holders of outstanding shares

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to voting rights equivalent to the
rights attributable to the whole shares of common stock into which the shares
of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible. The exchange transactions were
completed assuming a fair value of $10 per share of Series B Preferred Stock.
As of March 31, 1997, 15% Promissory Notes in an aggregate principle amount of
$60,000 and accrued interest of $26,000 were overdue. The Company may seek to
restructure the remaining 15% Promissory Notes but there can be no assurance
that it will do so.

     As of March 31, 1997, the Company has completed transactions with holders
of an aggregate of $4,974,000 principal amount of the then outstanding 4%
Promissory Notes. Under the terms of the exchange agreements, the holders of
the 4% Promissory Notes exchanged their 4% Promissory Notes for such number of
shares of common stock of the Company as is equal to the principal amount of
the 4% Promissory Notes exchanged divided by $2.00 (any accrued but unpaid
interest was paid in cash as the time of such exchange). The Company has
accounted for the conversions as a contribution of capital by significant
shareholders.

     On September 30, 1996, the Company completed transactions with investors
holding an aggregate amount of $2,000,000 principal amount of the Debentures.
Under the terms of the agreement, holders of Debentures exchanged their
Debentures for such number of shares of common stock of the Company as is equal
to the sum of the principal amount of the Debentures exchanged plus the accrued
interest thereon, divided by $3.33. As of March 31, 1997, a total of $1,375,000
principal amount of Debentures remained outstanding. Of such Debentures, the
Company has identified the holders of $315,000 principal amount, leaving the
holders of $1,060,000 principal amount of Debentures unidentified. The Company
has accounted for the conversions as a contribution of capital by significant
shareholders.

     The Company continues to negotiate, in good faith, with as many of the
remaining holders of Debentures, 15% Promissory Notes and 4% Promissory Notes
as possible. However, despite the progress that has been made, the Company can
still give no assurance about the outcome of these restructuring efforts and
does not expect the matters to be resolved in the near future. If the Company
is unable to enter into exchange transactions with the remaining holders, and
such holders seek to pursue legal remedies against the Company, the Company may
have to seek protection under applicable laws, including the Bankruptcy Code,
while it develops, analyzes and completes alternative restructuring strategies.
 

     The Company anticipates that its cash requirements for fiscal 1998 will be
satisfied mainly from its credit line, assuming the continued forbearance by
the Debentureholders and the availability of increased borrowings under the
credit line should the Company require them. However, there can be no assurance
that such forbearance will continue or that the investor will advance any funds
in excess of $5,000,000 under the credit line. In addition, the Company
anticipates an increased level of cash requirements in fiscal 1998 and has
begun negotiations to amend its credit line to facilitate increased borrowing.
There can be no assurance, however, that such negotiations will be successful
or that increased borrowings will be available under the Company's credit line.
The above uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recovery and classifications of recorded asset
amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

     Interest expense amounted to $1,007,000, $807,000, and $528,000, in fiscal
1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.


9. Income Taxes

     For fiscal years 1997, 1996, and 1995 the Company was not required to
provide for income taxes and had no effective income tax rate due to the
utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. The Company was not required
to make an alternative minimum tax payment in fiscal 1996 or 1997. Payment of
alternative minimum tax amounted to $14,000 in fiscal 1995.

     As of March 31, 1997, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
$48,864,000 expiring at various dates from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 2012,
investment tax credits of $150,000 expiring at various dates from fiscal 1998
to fiscal 2002, and research and development credits of $1,439,000 expiring at
various dates from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 2009. These items are available to
reduce future income taxes payable.

     Additionally, the Company has approximately $2,500,000 of net operating
loss carryforwards for regular federal income tax and alternative minimum tax
purposes from the acquisition of Contex Graphics Systems, Inc. These acquired
net operating loss carryforwards, expiring at various dates from fiscal 1998 to
fiscal 2001, have limitations on their use pursuant to the United States
Internal Revenue Code and are available only to offset income from that
subsidiary.

     As of March 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995 the Company's deferred tax assets of
approximately $20,157,000, $20,214,000 and $18,343,000, respectively, consisted
primarily of its net operating loss carryforwards. Management has assigned a
valuation allowance to fully offset the future tax benefits of these deferred
tax assets.

     Under Federal tax laws, certain changes in ownership of the Company, which
may not be within the Company's control, may restrict future utilization of
these carryforwards.


10. Stock Option and Purchase Plans

   a. Stock Option Plans

   Under the Company's 1982 Stock Option Plan, options to purchase 1,647,057
   shares of the Company's Common Stock may be granted to key employees,
   consultants, and non-employee directors. Incentive stock options are
   granted at a price equal to the fair market value per share on the date of
   the grant and non-qualified stock options may be granted at not less than
   85% of the fair market value per share on the date of the grant. Options
   granted on or after January 1, 1987 generally become exercisable at a rate
   of 20% per year over a five-year period with any shares issued upon
   exercise not being subject to repurchase by the Company. The 1982 Stock
   Option Plan expired on May 5, 1992. No options were granted under the 1982
   Stock Option Plan after Ma31, 1992.

   At the Company's June 23, 1992 Board of Directors' Meeting, the Board
   approved a 1992 Stock Option Plan and an increase in the authorized number
   of shares of the Company's Common Stock from 10,000,000 to 15,000,000
   shares. The terms of the 1992 Stock Option Plan are essentially the same as
   the 1982 Stock Option Plan. At this time the maximum number of options that
   could be granted under the 1992 Stock Option Plan was 1,000,000 shares. The
   1992 Stock Option Plan and the increase in authorized shares were both
   approved by the Company's shareholders at the Company's 1992 Annual Meeting
   of Stockholders held on October 21, 1992.

   At the 1994 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on September 22, 1994, the
   stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company's 1992
   Stock Option Plan increasing the number of shares for which options may be
   granted from 1,000,000 to 2,000,000.

   The following sets forth certain information relating to the 1982 Stock
   Option Plan and the 1992 Stock Option Plan for the years ended March
   31,1995, 1996, and 1997:

   On October 21, 1992, the 1992 Director Stock Option Plan was approved by
   stockholders of the Company. Under this Plan, options to purchase up to a
   total of 150,000 shares of Common Stock may be granted to outside directors
   of the Company. On March 31, 1993, an option for 20,000 shares of Common
   Stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share (the fair market value of the
   Common Stock on the date of grant) was granted to each of the four outside
   directors of the Company. Each outside director who is initially elected to
   the Board of Directors after March 31, 1993 will also be granted an option
   for 20,000 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price equal to the fair
   market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Each option becomes
   exercisable in five equal annual installments beginning on the date of
   grant, provided that all outstanding options will become exercisable in
   full in the event of a "change in control" of the Company (as defined in
   the Plan) which is not approved by the Board of Directors. In general, an
   optionholder may exercise his option, to the extent vested, only while he
   is a director of the Company and for up to three months thereafter. In
   connection with the adoption of the 1992 Director Stock Option Plan, the
   Company terminated the 1989 Director Stock Option Plan. In addition, each
   of the four outside directors who received options under the 1992 Director
   Stock Option Plan on March 31, 1993 surrendered for cancellation the option
   held by him under the 1989 Director Stock Option Plan.

   On January 8, 1990, the Board of Directors granted options to purchase
   42,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock to former officers of the
   Company. These non-qualified stock options were granted outside the
   Company's 1982 Stock Option Plan at an exercise price of $2.50 per share
   and are immediately exercisable. At March 31, 1997, there were 42,500
   shares reserved for issuance for these options.

   In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
   Compensation." SFAS 123 is effective for periods beginning after December
   15, 1995. SFAS 123 requires that companies either recognize compensation
   expense for grants of stock, stock options and other equity instruments
   based on fair value, or provide pro forma disclosure of net income and
   earnings per share in the notes to the financial statements. The Company
   adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 in 1997 and has applied APB
   Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its plans.
   Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock option
   plans. The fair value of each option granted during fiscal 1997 and 1996 is
   estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model
   with the following assumptions:

   b. Stock Purchase Plan

   In 1990, the Board of Directors adopted and the stockholders approved the
   Company's 1990 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "1990 Purchase Plan"). The
   1990 Purchase Plan covers an aggregate of up to 420,000 shares of Common
   Stock to be issued and sold to participating employees of the Company
   through a series of six overlapping one-year offerings, commencing six
   months apart, beginning August 1, 1990 and ending January 31, 1994. The
   1990 Purchase Plan was administered by the Compensation Committee and was
   intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" within the meaning
   of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. All employees who have been
   employed by the Company (or a qualifying subsidiary) for 30 days on the
   date an offering under the 1990 Purchase Plan commences and who ordinarily
   work more than 20 hours per week and more than five months per year were
   eligible to participate in that offering. The price at which the shares
   were offered is 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the
   date such offering commences or the date such offering terminates,
   which-ever is lower. Each employee could elect to have up to 10% of his
   base pay withheld and applied toward the purchase of shares in such
   offering. The 1990 Purchase Plan terminated January 31, 1994.


11. Rights Agreement


     In October 1988, the Company entered into a Rights Agreement and declared
a dividend distribution of one Right for each share of the Common Stock of the
Company outstanding on October 26, 1988. Each Right entitles the holder to
purchase from the Company 1/100 of a share of $1.00 par value Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $35.00 per Right, subject
to adjustment. The Rights will not be exercisable or separable from the Common
Stock until ten business days after a party acquires beneficial ownership of
20% or more of the Company's Common Stock or announces a tender offer for at
least 30% of its Common Stock outstanding. Except for Saltzman Partners' and
Tudor Trust's acquisition of 20% of the Company's Common Stock, which have been
exempted by the Board of Directors from the Rights Agreement, the Company is
not aware of the occurrence of any such events. The issuance of the Rights does
not dilute ownership or affect reported earnings per share.


12. Profit-Sharing and Savings Plans

   a. Employee Stock Ownership Plan

     In fiscal 1990, the Company created the Xyvision, Inc. Employee Stock
Ownership Plan and Trust (the

                                       20

   "Trust") and entered into a Term Loan Agreement with the Trust whereby the
   Trust borrowed $1,800,000 from the Company and paid the proceeds to the
   Company to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $4.50
   per share. The loan, with an interest rate of prime plus one-half of one
   percent, is to be repaid over seven years in equal annual installments of
   approximately $257,000. The Company is required to make equal annual
   contributions to the Trust in the amounts of the Trust's annual principal
   installments. The Company also makes monthly contributions to the Trust
   which uses such funds to pay monthly interest installments to the Company.
   The Plan covers substantially all employees and, as principal payments are
   made on the term loan, shares held by the Trust are allocated to eligible
   employees. Payments of approximately $237,000 for fiscal 1997 and $257,000
   in each of fiscal 1996 and 1995, were made to the Trust, which the Trust
   applied against its loan to the Company. These payments caused an
   allocation to the eligible employees of 52,698 shares of the Company's
   Common Stock for fiscal 1997, and 57,143 shares of the Company's Common
   Stock for each of fiscal 1996 and 1995.

   The Company charged $87,000 in fiscal 1997 and $257,000 in each of fiscal
   1996 and 1995, respectively, to operations for contributions to this trust.
    

   b. Savings Plan

   The Company has a 401(k) Savings Plan under which employees may voluntarily
   defer a portion of their compensation and the Company matches a portion of
   the employee deferral. All employees employed within the United States with
   at least three months of continuous service are eligible for the Plan.
   Company contributions vest 100% immediately. The Company's contributions to
   this Plan and charges to expense amounted to $67,000, $65,000, and $58,000
   in fiscal 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.


13. Commitments and Contingencies


   a. Leases

   At March 31, 1997, the Company was committed under operating leases,
   principally for building and office space. Certain leases require the
   payment of expenses under escalation clauses. The major facilities lease is
   for a two year term, ending February 16, 1998.

     Future minimum lease payments under all noncancelable leases as of March
31, 1997 are as follows:

<TABLE>

1998   ......    1,014,000

2001   ......      150,000
2002   ......      143,000
Thereafter         257,000
                ___________
   Total        $1,864,000
                ===========
</TABLE>

   Rental expense under all operating leases was approximately $742,000,
   $1,200,000, and $1,185,000, in fiscal 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.

   b. Employment Agreements

   The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain of its
   executive officers which provide for the payment to these executives of up
   to twelve months of compensation and the continuation of certain benefits
   if there is a change in control of the Company (as defined) or if
   employment is terminated without cause. The maximum contingent liability,
   at March 31, 1997, under these agreements was approximately $200,000.

                                XYVISION, INC.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

   The Company has also instituted a severance benefit plan which covers
   substantially all employees. The Plan stipulates, in general, that in the
   event of a change in control of the Company (as defined), any employee
   terminated within twelve months of such event, without cause, would be
   entitled to receive a cash payment equal to his annual base compensation.
   The Board of Directors may declare by resolution that an event otherwise
   constituting a change in control per this Plan will not be considered a
   change in control. Therefore, it can not be reasonably estimated what the
   potential liability to the Company would be under this Plan.

   c. Contingencies

   The Company is party to several pending legal proceedings and claims.
   Although the outcome of such proceedings and claims cannot be determined
   with certainty, the Company's counsel and management are of the opinion
   that the final outcome should not have a material adverse effect on the
   Company's operations or financial position.


14. Major Customers and Geographic Revenues

     No single customer accounted for more than 10% of revenues in fiscal 1997,
   1996, or 1995.
     Sales to unrelated customers by geographic region for fiscal 1997, 1996,
and 1995 were as follows:

15. Related Parties

     The Company had an agreement to pay consulting fees, which amounted to
$131,000, $194,000, and $148,000 in fiscal 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively,
to T.H. Conway and Associates, Inc. These amounts are in lieu of salary and
benefit payments to Mr. Conway. Mr. Conway, formerly President, Chief Executive
Officer and Director of the Company, is the President and owner of the firm.

     The Company has a line of credit with Tudor Trust, the largest stockholder
of the Company. Mr. Jeffrey Neuman, trustee of Tudor Trust, also serves as
chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. As a result of the
outstanding line of credit balance, the Company paid Tudor Trust $416,000 in
fiscal 1997 and as a result of the 15% Promissory Note Exchange programs
(described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements), the Company
paid an additional $37,000 to Tudor Trust in fiscal 1997.
