                   GENERAL AUTOMATION, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1  BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of business

General Automation, Inc. (the "Company") is engaged in the development, design
and sale of computer software and related software consulting services. The
Company has subsidiaries in Canada, Australia and England. The Company's major
product line is data connectivity software that enables businesses to connect
legacy applications and databases to e-business exchanges and trading partners
over the Internet marketed under the name E-Path. In addition, the Company
provides a range of custom and packaged consulting programs in order to help
customers build and deploy their e-business applications. The Company continues
its development of its Selva Server product which is expected to be launched
before the end of 2001, assuming that the Company receives adequate funding.

As discussed more thoroughly in Note 5, the Company's database management and
hardware service businesses are presented as discontinued operations in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. All such business were sold
prior to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(US) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring items) Considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year. The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries: Sequoia Systems (UK) Limited, Liberty Integration
Software, Inc., General Automation, LLC and General Automation PTY Ltd. All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As disclosed in the financial
statements, the Company has incurred significant losses from operations, its
current liabilities exceed current assets by $3,523,000 and total stockholders'
deficit was $7,200,000 at March 31, 2001. These conditions raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management
plans to re-negotiate with holders of the existing subordinated convertible debt
totaling approximately $3.9 million terms and conditions which the Company can
better meet in the future. The Company may be unable to comply with all the
covenants and conditions of the subordinated convertible debt. Management is in
discussions with the debt holders attempting to secure more favorable terms. In
addition, the Company is negotiating with trade creditors and former employees
with debts totaling approximately $4,900,000. There can be no assurance that
management will be successful in these negotiations. Management entered into
negotiations to secure short-term financing of $1.5-$2 million under terms and
conditions to be agreed upon. There can be no assurances that this funding will
materialize. The Company is currently negotiating material contracts for the
sale of its E-Path products to customers which management believes will provide
additional liquidity for operations. There can be no assurances these contracts
will ultimately materialize. Management intends to continue to expand its B2B
software development, and commence distribution of the "Selva" product line
later in the year. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                                       4
<PAGE>

Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Reclassifications--Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to
conform to the current period presentation.

Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenues are derived from software licensing arrangements and fees
charged for services. Software is generally licensed for internal use by its
customers. Licenses are generally based on the number of users of the Company's
software. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in accordance with
Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended and
SOP 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions. In
general, software license revenues are recognized when a non- cancelable license
agreement has been signed and the customer acknowledges an unconditional
obligation to pay, the software product has been delivered, there are no
uncertainties surrounding product acceptance, the fees are fixed and
determinable and collection is considered probable; professional services
revenues are recognized as such services are performed; and maintenance
revenues, or post-contract customer support, or PCS, including revenues bundled
with software agreements which entitle the customers to technical support and
future unspecified enhancements to our products, are deferred and recognized
ratably over the related contract period, generally twelve months. Revenues
recognized from multiple-element software arrangements are allocated to each
element of the arrangement based on the fair values of the elements, such as
software products, post contract customer support, installation or training. The
determination of fair value is based on objective evidence which is specific to
the Company. If evidence of fair value does not exist for all elements of a
license agreement and PCS is the only undelivered element, then all revenue for
the license arrangement is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement as
license revenue. If evidence of fair value of all undelivered elements exists
but evidence does not exist for one or more delivered elements, then revenue is
recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value
of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the
arrangement fee is recognized as revenue. Services that the Company provides are
not essential to the functionality of the software.

The Company records unearned revenue for software arrangements when cash has
been received from the customer and the arrangement does not qualify for revenue
recognition under the Company's revenue recognition policy. The Company records
accounts receivable for software arrangements when the arrangement qualifies for
revenue recognition but cash or other consideration has not been received from
the customer.

The Company's professional services include consulting services,
training-related services to customers and partners, and software maintenance
services, including technical support, to the Company's customers and partners.
Revenue from consulting services is typically recognized as services are
performed. Maintenance fees relating to technical support and upgrades are
recognized ratably over the maintenance period, if significant. If
insignificant, the Company accrues the estimated costs of such service at the
time of delivery.

NOTE 2 - CONTINUING OPERATIONS

The Company's US operations are primarily devoted to the continued enhancement,
licensing, and support of E-Path web products. The US operations, along with our
Canadian subsidiary have also continued development of Selva Server web products
which are expected to be launched later in 2001, subject to available cash
requirements. The Australian and United Kingdom (UK) operations continue to
focus their efforts on supporting operating systems (UNIX, Novell, OS/2) and
contract programming utilizing C++ and Visual Basic; the UK operations began
licensing E-Path during 2001.

Revenues from continuing operations by product and services For the six months
ended March 31, 2001 are as follows:

NOTE 3 - WRITEDOWN OF CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE TO NET REALIZABLE VALUE

In March 2001, management determined that the market for certain of its software
products under development had become saturated and decided not to pursue
further development efforts. Accordingly, the Company wrote-off unamortized
capitalized software costs of $503,000 during the first quarter of 2001.

During the six months ended March 31, 2001, the Company capitalized $192,000 of
costs related to Selva Server. No amounts were capitalized in 2000 for the Selva
product. No costs have been amortized related to the Selva Server products since
they have not been sold.

The Company amortizes its software costs on a straight-line basis over the
period expected to be benefited. Management is currently evaluating its method
for amortization of E-Path costs since its sales activities have only partially
commenced. During the six months ended March 31, 2001, the Company amortized
$630,000. No amounts were amortized related E-Path in 2000.

NOTE 4 - OTHER INCOME

Royalties
---------

Royalties relate to the sale of the Company's Pick-based database management
business in August 2000. The Company is entitled to twenty percent of certain
sales by Pick Systems, Inc. for a period of twenty-four months after the sale.
The Company has earned $829,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2001 in
connection with this agreement of which $444,000 has not been paid. Management
has initiated an action against the buyer of the Company's pick business for
payment of outstanding amounts due.

Sale of building
----------------

On November 1, 2000 the Company sold its administrative building for $2,373,000.
Proceeds from the sale were used to pay off the related first and second
mortgage notes totaling $955,000 and $922,500, respectively. Concurrent with the
sale of the building, the Company entered into a month-to-month operating lease
agreement whereby the Company leased back its office facilities from the
purchaser at a monthly rent of $36,000. In February 2001, the Company and the
lessor agreed to reduce the monthly rent to $5,000.

Litigation settlement
---------------------

On April 15, 1999 the Company filed a Complaint in the Orange County Superior
Court against PriceWaterhouseCoopers, LLP, successor to PriceWaterhouse, which
was the Company's independent auditors from 1991 through 1996. The action
asserted that PriceWaterhouse was negligent in its audits of the Company's
financial statements and procedures, resulting in substantial reporting errors
which were only uncovered after PriceWaterhouse was replaced as the Company's
independent auditors in 1997. The Company sought general and punitive damages,
including its audit expenses, and losses resulting from its reliance upon the
inaccurate financial statements. In December 2000, this suit was settled for
$500,000.

NOTE 5  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On January 31, 2001, the Company sold its hardware service business In an asset
sale to a private investor group. The sales price was equal to $840,000 cash
plus the value of accounts receivable, as defined. At the time of the sale, the
hardware service business had liabilities in excess of its assets totaling
$572,000, largely due to $2,437,000 of revenues deferred by the Company relating
to customer support contracts. The net liabilities, together with cash received,
resulted in a gain of $2,136,000.

In addition, the purchase agreement provides for a contingent sales price up to
10%, not to exceed $300,000, of future revenues in excess of $7,100,000
generated by the buyer. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the
Company earned no royalties.

Note 6  PER SHARE INFORMATION

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company had
no convertible securities into common stock which were be included in basic and
diluted shares outstanding using the treasury stock method.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

The discussion in this document contains trend analysis and other forward
looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933 as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements throughout this document. Items which could affect
results expected include product acceptance, timely releases of new products,
liquidity and financial condition of the Company.

(1)      MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION:

During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company completed the sale of its
administrative building for cash proceeds of $2,373,000 and paid-off the related
mortgage debt totaling $1,880,000. In addition, the Company sold its hardware
services business for cash proceeds of approximately $1,558,000. Management is
continuing efforts to improve the Company's financial condition and is currently
discussing with unsecured lenders the possible conversion of debt into equity.
In addition, management is discussing with the Company's former employees and
vendors a plan that would settle all outstanding obligations for cash at a
fraction of the outstanding balances. There is no assurance management will be
successful in its efforts.


(2)      RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Revenues increased by $384,000 or 19% during the six months ended March 31, 2001
to $2,321,000. New E-path products were introduced in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2000, but have not reached a breakeven point and, currently, amortization
of capitalized costs and other direct costs of sales exceed total sales of these
new products due to the fact the Company amortizes costs on a straight-line
basis versus on a per-unit basis. Costs of revenues increased as a percentage
of revenues largely due to the increase in the amortization of software costs
previously capitalized.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $1,713,000, principally due to
reductions of legal and professional fees as well as administrative support,
rents and other administrative costs.

Other income includes royalties from the sales of our Pick business, as well as
the gain on sale of building as discussed in the notes to the financial
statements.

The decrease in net interest expense results from the decrease in debt
outstanding.

Our discontinued operations were completely sold. Accordingly our losses were
reduced during the six months ended March 31, 2001.

Overall, we had net income from the gains on sales of assets and business. We
expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future as we expand our licensing and
Services.
