ITEM 1. BUSINESS


This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from
those projected in the forward-looking report and those described in other
reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Readers are referred to the
"Sales and Distribution", "Customer Support and Service", "Product Development",
"Competition", "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

BACKGROUND

Tarantella, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTLA) (the Company), emerged as a standalone entity in
May of this year from its origins as the Tarantella Division of The Santa Cruz
Operation, Inc. (SCO).

On May 4, 2001, SCO completed the sale of its Server Software and Professional
Services Divisions to Caldera Systems, Inc., retaining the Tarantella Division.
A new company, Caldera International, was formed which combined the assets
acquired from SCO with the assets of Caldera Systems. Upon the completion of the
sale, The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. changed its corporate name to Tarantella,
Inc. and its Nasdaq trading symbol to TTLA, reflecting the new corporate focus.

NOTE: In order to simplify this business section, separations will be made
between the current Tarantella company overview and the section regarding the
prior SCO business.

                                TARANTELLA, INC.

INTRODUCTION

Tarantella, Inc. is a leading provider of Internet infrastructure software that
enables web-based access to enterprise applications.


Headquartered in Santa Cruz, California, Tarantella has development sites in the
US and UK and sales representatives in the US, UK, Germany, Australia, Mexico,
Canada, Spain, Japan, Netherlands and Italy. Tarantella products are sold both
directly and through a worldwide channel of enterprise class distributors,
value-added resellers, systems integrators and computer manufacturers.

Tarantella's flagship product, Tarantella Enterprise 3 software, delivers secure
web access to old or new applications, powers thin client deployments, enables
remote access for mobile users and telecommuters, and provides a compelling
alternative to traditional extranets and virtual private networks. Tarantella
Enterprise 3 software gives the user a single point of access for multiple
servers running on heterogeneous platforms and can be a powerful tool for
continued business operation.

Tarantella software aligns with Information Technology (IT) business goals,
provides a significant return on existing IT assets and complements other
software products, providing managed and secure web access to enterprise
mainframe, Windows, web, AS/400, Java(TM) technology, Linux, and UNIX
applications.

VISION AND MISSION: Managed, Secure Access for the Enterprise

Tarantella's vision is to become the leading provider of managed, secure,
web-based application access software for the Global 2000 companies.

CORPORATE STRATEGY

Tarantella's strategy is to focus on the application access needs of Global 2000
enterprises by making virtually any business application available to users
securely through standard Internet and intranet architectures. Tarantella
approaches this target market through the combination of a direct sales
organization, channel partners and strategic alliances, seeking the broadest
market acceptance for its products.

IMPORTANCE OF WEB-BASED APPLICATION ACCESS

Today's enterprises need secure and managed access to business critical systems
for their employees, customers and partners -- from anywhere, any time. The
number of mobile and remote workers continues to grow and more companies are
merging, often requiring the quick need for diverse computer systems to work
together. Workers are dispersed around the world, needing access to data that
may be thousands of miles away. Real time is now synonymous with Internet time.
The Internet has become ubiquitous and offers a cheap and reliable way for
businesses to gain access to their data. This power, however, brings with it an
urgent need for high level security and manageability.

Recent terrorist events in the US have also shown how quickly the enterprise can
be brought to a halt when the workplace is disrupted. Disaster recovery plans
for the data center are not enough; alternative access modes for users whose
offices are no longer available must also be provided. Valuable corporate
information kept on desktops is at risk and companies are increasingly realizing
that a centralized, managed approach can be more cost effective and secure.

Today's global enterprises are decentralized organizations, needing remote and
mobile access, flexible business continuance plans and ways to cut the high
costs and risks of managing distributed desktop computers. Tarantella software
compellingly addresses these needs.

ADVANTAGES OF THE TARANTELLA ENTERPRISE 3 SOLUTION

without the need for re-engineering. It offers a non-intrusive solution that can
provide employees, customers and partners with managed, secure, local, remote,
and mobile access to critical applications. Tarantella Enterprise 3 software
simplifies administration and securely speeds access to Windows, web, Java(TM)
technology, mainframe, AS/400, Linux and UNIX based systems and applications
from client devices globally. Its proven centralized management architecture

       Private Networks (VPNs).


TARGET MARKETS

Tarantella software is a horizontal network infrastructure solution, which may
be used across all types and sizes of companies. Several target markets have,
however, emerged in which the Tarantella value proposition is particularly
compelling, including large financial institutions, government agencies
(federal, local, defense departments), utilities, telecommunications, document
publishing and large transportation enterprises.

These enterprises generally employ heterogeneous information systems
architectures, are often geographically dispersed with remote access
requirements, and are under operational pressures to reduce costs and optimize
return on assets. These organizations typically depend on UNIX servers as a key
part of their IT. The larger the company, the more diverse the applications
platforms and the more widely distributed the user base is, the better fit there
is for a Tarantella solution. It is the scalability and flexibility of the
Tarantella solution that differentiates it from competitors who simply cannot
scale to meet the demanding heterogeneous architectures of the largest
enterprises.

PARTNERS

Tarantella understands the need for strong industry partners to augment the
Tarantella enterprise value proposition. Sun Microsystems, Inc., for example,
has become one of Tarantella's strongest allies. Tarantella Enterprise 3 is
SunTone(SM) certified and was a featured technology in Sun's strategic Sun ONE
launch. Additionally Tarantella and Sun have signed an agreement to jointly
market Tarantella software with Sun iPlanet(TM) portal products and Sun's Sun
Ray(TM) appliance organization is a founding member of Tarantella's Technology
Alliance Group (TAG). Lastly, Tarantella has signed distribution agreements with
some of the largest Sun distributors in the world--GE Access in the USA, Clarity
in the UK and ICOS in Italy.

Tarantella has also partnered with IBM, becoming an Advanced IBM Business
partner. IBM's thin client group was also a founder in our TAG program.
Additionally, Computer Associates' iCan SP subsidiary has entered into a joint
marketing agreement to offer Tarantella Enterprise 3 as part of its xSP solution
set. Long standing SCO partner Compaq continues their relationship with
Tarantella. These strategic relationships -- both new and ongoing -- provide
Tarantella additional credibility and leverage in selling to the enterprise
market.

SALES AND DISTRIBUTION

Tarantella's target customer set is the Global 2000 and government agencies

strategy utilizing both an extremely focused direct sales force and enterprise
distribution channels which include value-added distributors and resellers, as
well as systems integrators and independent software vendors (ISVs). Tarantella
selects channel partners for their expertise, experience and access to the
target market. In many cases, channel partners and Tarantella direct sales
people work together on targeted accounts

In addition to the enterprise sales motion, Tarantella fulfills to
small-to-medium businesses through the PartnerConnect program, with registered
and associate partners primarily managed by value-added distributors.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND SERVICES

Because of the business-critical use of Tarantella products, customer support
and services have become essential to achieving a high level of customer
satisfaction. The Company's services are designed to support



                                       4
<PAGE>

customers ranging from small and medium-sized businesses to large enterprises,
both at the end user and reseller levels. The Company, through its worldwide
customer support and services staff and its authorized third-party education,
support and channel partners, offers a variety of support programs and services:

Technical Support - includes a range of support offerings including on-line
support through the World Wide Web and varying levels of telephone support for
corporate accounts;

Educational Services - includes courseware and instruction guides provided to
the worldwide Tarantella Learning Centers, which in turn provide training and
education materials to both end users and resellers;

access to early product releases for application developers.

The Company sells support services to end users on an annual contract basis.

their specific needs. Electronic access is available through the World Wide Web.
Software updates, enhancements, and bug fixes are also available electronically.
Tarantella also supports end users via Authorized Tarantella Service Providers.
In addition, the Company provides its support services to distributors, VARs,
OEMs and integrators.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Tarantella product development is comprised of one integrated organization with
three sites located in Santa Cruz, California and Leeds and Cambridge, United
Kingdom. The company has developed or acquired skills in complex Internet
infrastructure areas including web-based technologies, communications, security,
Java(TM) technology, virtual user interfaces, networking, and adaptive
protocols. Furthermore, the heterogeneous nature of the product has led the
group to develop strong links with application server vendors, including
Microsoft, IBM, Sun and Oracle, and also to link with client vendors ranging
from traditional desktop and complex workstation clients to wireless handheld
devices from companies such as Nokia.

The company holds one patent and has another one that is pending.

Tarantella's patented, award-winning technology was designed from the beginning
for the public Internet and enterprise intranets. The Tarantella Adaptive
Internet Protocol (AIP) optimizes the tradeoffs between bandwidth and
application performance to give users the best possible experience over any
speed connection. In addition, Tarantella's innovative and non-invasive
implementation requires no changes to applications or their servers.

The Tarantella architecture is based on a three-layer approach, whereby the
Tarantella server sits in between the application layer (server) and the client
layer (user). There is no need to make changes to any applications or existing
servers to `drop' Tarantella into the network and provide access to applications
anywhere via existing client browsers.

Tarantella devotes resources to ongoing product testing and quality assurance to
support product reliability. The Company believes that its ability to integrate
product technologies, to incorporate a wide variety of standards into its
products, and to continue to offer enhancements to its existing products are
essential to maintaining its competitiveness in the marketplace.

COMPETITION

Tarantella's Enterprise software solutions compete against a range of point
products from companies including Citrix, Hummingbird, GraphOn, and Attachmate.
Additionally, Tarantella products can be used in place of, or to augment, VPN or
extranet products.



                                       5
<PAGE>

Citrix is the market leader in providing remote access to Windows applications;
Hummingbird is the same for UNIX and Attachmate for mainframes. GraphOn, on the
other hand, is largely focused on providing web-enabling tools for ISVs.

Each of these point competitors is a formidable opponent in their own space. In
contrast, Tarantella offers an integrated approach to all of these needs with
manageability, scalability, and flexibility to meet enterprise requirements.

Tarantella installs on all major UNIX and Linux platforms and delivers Windows,
UNIX, Linux, Mainframe and web-based applications in a secure managed
environment. It is the scalability and flexibility of our solutions in
heterogeneous and demanding architectures that differentiate Tarantella from
competitors.

EMPLOYEES

As of September 30, 2001, the Company had 207 employees, including 58 in product
development, 81 in sales and marketing, 11 in customer support services, and 57
in finance, manufacturing and distribution services and administration.


                                THE SCO BUSINESS

INTRODUCTION

The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. (SCO) was founded in 1979 and began trading on
the Nasdaq Stock Exchange (Nasdaq: SCOC) in 1993. SCO was a global developer and
provider of server software for networked business computing and had 20 years of
experience developing UNIX system, open system, and open source software. SCO
owned the intellectual property for UNIX system technology.

Headquartered in Santa Cruz, California, SCO had sales representatives in more
than 80 countries and SCO products were sold and distributed worldwide by more
than 15,000 resellers, distributors, systems integrators and computer
manufacturers.

COMPANY STRATEGY

SCO's business strategy was threefold: 1) to provide the leading UNIX server
software for high-volume Intel processor-based servers; 2) to web-enable
existing and new applications with server-based software across multiple
platforms (see Tarantella section); and 3) to provide technical expertise to
companies via its Professional Services organization.

TARGET MARKETS

The Company targeted three major market segments: 1) primary information systems
for small and medium-sized businesses, 2) replicated systems for use in
distributed information systems in medium-sized and large organizations,
including Fortune 1000 Corporations, and 3) business-critical enterprise servers
for large and medium-sized businesses. Key targeted industries included retail
and telecommunications.

PRODUCTS

UnixWare 7

UnixWare 7 had been built from the ground up to support distributed network
computing on cost-efficient, "enterprise-class" Intel processor-based servers.
As an applications server, UnixWare 7 provided all of the facets of business
critical computing, including built-in security, reliability, and fault
tolerance on a standard, cost-effective, and high-performance Intel single- or
multi-processor hardware platform.

UnixWare 7 NonStop Clusters

UnixWare 7 NonStop Clusters provided totally dependable access to
business-critical data and applications. UnixWare 7 NonStop Clusters software
linked individual "nodes" -- whole computers, each running its own copy of the
operating system - such that they acted and appeared as a single system.

SCO OpenServer

The SCO OpenServer system was a leading UNIX server operating system for Intel
processor-based platforms. SCO OpenServer systems were exceptional at running
multi-user, transaction-based DBMS and business applications, communications
gateways, mail and messaging servers in both host and client/server
environments. SCO OpenServer Release 5 combined minicomputer-level reliability
and availability with the Intel platform's exceptional price/performance, value
and flexibility. Unlike other advanced operating systems, SCO OpenServer systems
revolutionized business productivity without obsoleting existing business
critical systems, applications or data. SCO OpenServer systems delivered
extensive networking with existing LANs and WANs, easy integration with Windows
desktops, built-in Internet access and services, simplified administration and
management, and outstanding scalability for long term growth.

SALES AND DISTRIBUTION

SCO had developed a highly trained and diverse sales and distribution channel of
over 15,000 resellers and distributors. SCO and its distribution network worked
together to provide comprehensive support services ranging from engineering and
consulting services to technical support and training and education. The SCO
sales and distribution channels focused on three major customer groups.

Small and Medium-Sized Businesses (SMB). SCO worked with VARs and authorized
resellers, which develop and/or sell business solutions to small and
medium-sized businesses.

Corporate Customers. In the U.S., and for selected customers across Europe, SCO
developed a major account team that built and managed the relationships with
customers in targeted industries as well as with the Company's channel partners
who supported these customers.

Government Customers. SCO also had a dedicated account team that managed the
relationships with government agencies in the U.S., while Government sales
outside the U.S. were managed by SCO regional management or by OEMs, major
distributors or major resellers.


CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND SERVICES

SCO's services were designed to support its wide range of customers, from small
and medium-sized businesses to large enterprises, both at the end user and
reseller levels. SCO, through its worldwide Professional Services, customer
support and services staff and its authorized third-party education, support and
channel partners, offered a variety of support and services:

        Technical Support
        Educational Services
        Consulting Services

The Company sold support services to end users on an annual contract or
as-needed basis. Options were available so those customers could tailor the
support solution to meet their specific needs.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Since its inception, SCO focused considerable resources on the development and
integration of UNIX systems and open systems software technologies and standards
for Intel processor-based computers. In December of 1995, SCO purchased the UNIX
Systems technologies from Novell Inc., which have since transferred to Caldera
International as part of the May 2001 transaction.

SCO devoted considerable resources to ongoing product testing and quality
assurance. In addition, the Company offered localized versions of its core
business critical servers in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Chinese
and Japanese.

COMPETITION

The market for operating systems is very competitive and rapidly changing. The
Company encountered significant competition from a limited number of direct
competitors including Microsoft, Novell, IBM and Sun Microsystems, which offer
hardware-independent multi-user operating systems for Intel platforms, and from
OEMs such as Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Olivetti and Sun Microsystems, which offer
their own versions of the UNIX System on a variety of RISC and Intel CPU-based
hardware. Competition from companies selling versions of the Linux operating
system also increased.

services, which include engineering services, consulting, custom engineering,
support and training.

Net revenues were $66.7 million in fiscal 2001, a decrease of 55% from $148.9
million in fiscal 2000. In fiscal 2000, net revenues decreased by 33% from
$223.6 million in fiscal 1999. The decline in revenue performance in fiscal 2001
was worldwide across all geographies and is attributable to the sale of a
significant portion of our business. The Company's revenues were also impacted
by the general reduction in information technology ("IT") investments by
companies for application server software and service initiatives. The fiscal
2000 decline in revenue performance was worldwide across most geographies and is
attributable to delays in large project deals as well as customer delays due to
Year 2000 issues and other market factors. The recovery of the customer channel
from the impact of Year 2000 has been slower than expected. For the fiscal years
ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, no single customer accounted for more
than 10% of the Company's net revenues.

International revenues continue to be a significant portion of net revenues,
comprising 52% of the revenues for fiscal 2001 and 54% and 56% for 2000 and
1999, respectively.

License Revenues. License revenues were $58.3 million in fiscal 2001 as compared
to $133.5 million in fiscal 2000 and $208.5 million in fiscal 1999, representing
a decrease of 56% in fiscal 2001 over 2000 and a decrease of 36% in fiscal 2000
over 1999. License revenues were 87% of total net revenues for fiscal 2001 and
90% and 93% of total net revenues for fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
fiscal 2001 decline in license revenues is attributed to fewer large project
deals and other market factors and the sale of the server business to Caldera.
The fiscal 1999 to 2000 license revenue decrease was due to customer delays due
to Year 2000 issues and a slower than expected recovery of the sales channel
from the impact of Y2K.

Services Revenues. Services revenues decreased to $8.4 million in fiscal 2001, a
decrease of 46% from the $15.4 million in fiscal 2000. Revenue from services
remained relatively constant in fiscal 2000 at $15.4



                                       13
<PAGE>

million, a 2% increase over the $15.2 million level of fiscal 1999. Services
revenues were 13% of the total revenue for fiscal 2001, compared to 10% in the
prior year. The decline in services revenues was primarily in the professional
services area and is the result of re-focusing of the professional services
division on the implementation of new strategies in conjunction with the sale of
the professional services business to Caldera.

COST OF REVENUES

The Company's overall cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues can be
affected by mix changes in net revenue contribution between product families,
geographic regions and channels of distribution, since both price and cost
characteristics associated with these revenue streams can vary greatly. The
Company can also experience fluctuations in gross margin as net revenues
increase or decrease since certain costs of revenues including technology,
services, product assembly and distribution act as fixed costs within certain
volume ranges.

Cost of License Revenues. Cost of license revenues includes royalties paid to
certain software vendors, amortization of acquired technologies, product
packaging, documentation and all costs associated with the acquisition of
components, assembling of finished products, warehousing and shipping. Cost of
license revenues as a percentage of license revenues decreased to 14% in fiscal
2001 from 17% in fiscal 2000, and 15% in fiscal 1999. The 3% decrease from 2000
to 2001 was primarily due to the expiration of several technology obligations.
Additionally, material costs continue to decline as a result of the increasing
number of Internet orders. Also certain fixed costs such as technology and
overhead declined. The 2% increase from 1999 to 2000 was due to the impact of
having fixed costs over lower unit sale volume. These fixed costs include
technology and overhead costs. This impact is partially offset by declining
material costs resulting from the continuing growth of e-commerce business.

Cost of Services Revenues. Cost of services revenues includes documentation,
consulting and personnel related expenses associated with providing such
services. Costs of services revenues as a percentage of services revenues
decreased to 107% from 126% in fiscal 2000, which in turn was a decrease from
128% in fiscal 1999. The improvement in cost of services revenues in Fiscal 2001
is primarily a result of reduced staffing levels in both the support and
professional services organizations due to realignments of these organizations.
The decrease in fiscal 2000 resulted from relatively constant costs as a
percentage of higher fiscal 2000 revenues.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Company invests in research and development both for new products and to
provide continuing enhancements to current products. Research and development
expenses decreased 54% to $18.4 million in fiscal 2001 from $39.7 million in
fiscal 2000, which was a decrease of 6% from fiscal 1999 spending of $42.4
million. Research and development expenses represented 28% of net revenues for
fiscal 2001, 27% of net revenues for fiscal 2000, and 19% of net revenues for
fiscal 1999. The decrease in research and development expenses in fiscal 2000
and 2001 can be attributed to lower labor costs driven by lower headcount as a
result of a planned reduction in force. Fiscal 2001 spending was also favorably
impacted by the sale of the Server Software and Professional Services divisions
to Caldera.

SALES AND MARKETING

Sales and marketing expenses decreased 47% to $46.9 million in fiscal 2001,
compared to $89.3 million for fiscal 2000 and $98.5 million for fiscal 1999.
Sales and marketing expenses represented 70% of net revenues in fiscal 2001, 60%
in fiscal 2000 and 44% in fiscal 1999. The decrease in fiscal 2001 is due to
lower labor costs as a result of the sale of the Server and Professional
Services division to Caldera combined with reductions driven by lower headcount
as a result of a planned reduction in force. The



                                       14
<PAGE>

decrease in fiscal 2000 is due to a decline in sales program costs that vary
directly with revenue, including commissions and cooperative advertising. The
increase as a percentage of revenue in both fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000 is due
to revenues declining faster than the company was able to reduce expenses.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

General and administrative expenses decreased 7% to $17.3 million in fiscal
2001, compared with $18.7 million in fiscal 2000 and $16.6 million in fiscal
1999. General and administrative represented 26% of net revenues in fiscal 2001,
13% in fiscal 2000 and 7% in fiscal 1999. The significant increase in general
and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue is due to fixed costs
spread over much lower revenue as well as the payment of executive retention
bonuses of $2.1 million associated with the sale of the majority of the business
to Caldera. The transfer of certain staff from other functions due to the
creation of the Company's divisions drove the increase in fiscal 2000.

Allowance for doubtful accounts at the end of September 30, 2001 was $2.3
million, or 36% of gross accounts receivable. At the end of September 30, 2000,
allowance for doubtful accounts was $3.2 million, or 12% of gross accounts
receivable. The reason for the significant increase in allowance for doubtful
accounts is because the Company retained all accounts receivable when they sold
the server and professional services divisions to Caldera. All of the current
allowance for doubtful accounts relates to sales of server products. The
allowance for doubtful accounts balance of $2.3 million at September 30, 2001
includes a $0.7 million reserve for a customer that has declared bankruptcy.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

Restructuring charges of $1.0 million were incurred in fiscal year 2001 that
related to worldwide restructurings undertaken in the second and fourth quarters
of fiscal 2001. The restructurings included a reduction in personnel of
approximately 38 employees and elimination of non-essential facilities. As of
September 30, 2001, all 38 positions have been eliminated, however there were
cash payments of $304,000 remaining. Of the $1.0 million, the entire $1.0
million charge related to cash expenditures. These reductions were made to align
spending with lower than expected company revenues. The Company intends to
partially sublet space in the Santa Cruz, California office. This space will be
vacated and restored and subsequently sublet. The Company anticipated that the
sub-lease would be completed within three months, however as of September 30,
2001 the space remained vacant.

Restructuring charges of $10.7 million were incurred in fiscal year 2000 that
related to worldwide restructurings undertaken in the second and fourth quarters
of fiscal 2000, representing 7% of total net revenues for the fiscal year. The
restructuring charges included a reduction in personnel of approximately 227
employees, write-off of certain acquired technologies, write-off of certain
fixed assets, and elimination of non-essential facilities. Of the $10.7 million,
$9.2 million related to cash expenditures and $1.5 million related to non-cash
charges. The restructuring charge included cash expenditures of $7.3 million for
severance costs and $1.9 million for facilities costs. The non-cash charges
related to disposals of fixed assets and write-off of technology. The disposal
of fixed assets was comprised of computer equipment that was no longer in use
due to the reduction of personnel. Losses on the disposal of these fixed assets
were recorded against the restructuring charge. The amount of these charges was
$842,000. The technology write-off relates to technology that was no longer used
in product development due to the reduction in development personnel. The
Company restructured its business operations into three independent divisions,
each with a separate management team and dedicated development, marketing and
sales organizations - the Server Division, the Tarantella Division and the
Professional Services Division. The Company believed this reorganization would
create independent focused teams that could pursue revenue in their respective
markets and was effective April 1, 2000. The Company believed that as a result
of creating these independent, focused organizations the Company would be better
able to control and measure the success of these businesses. As a result of the
restructuring plans various regional offices in the United States, United
Kingdom, Latin America and the Asia Pacific region were eliminated. The US
regional facilities and the Watford, UK leases were vacated and restored, and
subsequently sub-let or terminated. The remaining



                                       15
<PAGE>

international offices were vacated immediately. Of the facilities closed, the
majority related to the Server Division while a minor portion related to the
Corporate Division which is comprised primarily of the finance and General and
Administrative functions of the Company's United Kingdom subsidiary. Reserves
for any payments not made by the end of fiscal 2001 were released.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Other income and expense consists of interest income net of interest expense,
foreign exchange gains and losses, and realized gains and losses on investments,
as well as other miscellaneous income and expense items. Net interest income
decreased in fiscal 2001 to $1.1 million compared to $1.7 million for fiscal
2000 and $1.9 million for fiscal 1999. Other income was $0.3 million for fiscal
2001, $0.8 million for fiscal 2000 and $1.9 million for fiscal 1999. In January
2001, the Company sold 3,200,000 shares of its Rainmaker stock for $1.00 per
share, and received cash proceeds of $3.2 million. The cost basis of the sale
was $1.1 million, and the Company realized a gain of $2.1 million from this
sale. In fiscal 2000 the Company recorded a gain on the sale of shares of
Rainmaker stock of $1.9 million, net of an other-than temporary decline in
another investment position of $0.7 million. The decrease in other income from
fiscal 1999 to fiscal 2000 was due to gains from the partial liquidation of
converted debentures of a domestic distribution channel partner of $3.3 million,
net of an other-than temporary decline in another investment position of $1.0
million which were included in the fiscal 1999 results but did not recur in
fiscal 2000. In fiscal 2001 there was a $53.3 million gain included in other
income for the sale of the server and professional services divisions to
Caldera. There was also a charge taken for the impairment of the Caldera
investment in the amount of $22.5 million, net of the unamortized portion of
negative goodwill. The fiscal 2001 results also include $4.6 million for the
loss from the equity investment in Caldera. This loss is net of $0.7 million of
negative goodwill related to the excess of net assets in Caldera over the value
of the investment at the time of closing.

INCOME TAXES

In fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company's effective income tax rates were
16%, (17)% and 17%. The fiscal 2001 tax benefit of $1.1 million reflects a
benefit of $1.6 million due to the resolution of foreign audit issues and
foreign income taxes of $0.5 million. The fiscal 2000 tax primarily reflects the
write off of deferred tax assets of $7.8 million and foreign income taxes of
$0.5 million. The fiscal 1999 tax primarily reflects foreign income taxes.

NET INCOME (LOSS)

The Company reported a net loss of $5.7 million in fiscal 2001 compared to net
loss of $57.0 million in fiscal 2000 and net income of $16.9 million in fiscal
1999. Although revenues were significantly lower in fiscal 2001, the net losses
decreased by 90% due to the net gain recorded for the Caldera transaction. The
net loss in fiscal 2000 is primarily due to lower revenues, restructuring
charges and the reduction of net deferred tax assets. The net income in fiscal
1999 was driven by strong revenue performance, which was directly related to the
increasing importance of server-based computing as well as customers upgrading
in preparation for Year 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $14.1 million at
September 30, 2001, representing 40% of total assets. The decrease in cash and
short-term investments of $12.3 million 2001 is due to operating losses, lower
revenues and a decrease in sales linearity, which resulted in lower cash
collections. The Company's operating activities used cash of $34.2 million
during fiscal 2001, compared to $41.6 million used for operating activities for
fiscal 2000. Cash provided by investing activities was $25.0 million in fiscal
2001 compared to cash provided from investing of $19.5 million in fiscal 2000.
The increase was



                                       16
<PAGE>

attributable primarily to the proceeds received from the Caldera transaction.
Cash provided for financing activities was $0.7 million for fiscal 2001 compared
with $9.9 million for fiscal 2000.

The company's days sales outstanding (DSO) at the end of fiscal 2001 was 87, an
increase of 21 days from the end of fiscal 2000. The increase in DSO at the end
of fiscal 2001 was due to a deterioration of sales linearity during the fourth
quarter as well as increased delinquent accounts receivable. It is expected that
DSO for Tarantella will not fluctuate significantly from the 87 days at the end
of fiscal 2001. DSO are expected to remain at higher levels than prior years
because a larger portion of the products are now sold directly to the customer
and this type of sale does not have the even linearity seen in sales through
distribution.

As of September 30, 2001, the Company had an equity investment in Rainmaker
Systems having a fair market value of $0.1 million and a cost basis of $0.2
million. In January 2001, the Company sold 3,200,000 shares of its Rainmaker
stock for $1.00 per share, and received cash proceeds of $3.2 million. The cost
basis of the sale was $1.1 million, and the Company realized a gain of $2.1
million from this sale.

The Company has incurred net losses from operations of approximately $5.7
million during fiscal 2001 and $57.9 million during fiscal 2000 and revenues
have declined from $148.9 million in fiscal 2000 to $66.7 million in fiscal
2001. For fiscal 2001 losses from operations were $34.4 million, compared to
$51.2 million during fiscal 2000. The Company has an accumulated deficit of
$99.0 million as of September 30, 2001.

In connection with the transaction with Caldera, the Company entered into a Loan
Agreement and a Secured Convertible Promissory Note effective January 8, 2001,
with The Canopy Group for borrowings up to $18.0 million. Draws on the financing
agreement are repayable on December 31, 2001 and bear interest at a rate per
annum of 10%. Draws are collateralized by the Company's tangible and intangible
assets and are convertible into common stock at the option of the lender at the
closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of issuance, subject to
certain limitations. The unconverted principal is repayable in cash. The Company
has not drawn on this line of credit.

The Company believes that, based on its current plans its existing cash and cash
equivalents, short-term investments, funds generated from operations and
available borrowing capabilities will be sufficient to meet its operating
requirements through fiscal 2002, however additional financing may be required
thereafter.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

Set forth below and elsewhere in this Report and in other documents the Company
files with the SEC are risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking
statement in this Report.

COMPANY'S OPERATING RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE IN FUTURE PERIODS

The results of operations for any quarter or fiscal year are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected in future periods. The Company's
operating results have in the past been, and will continue to be, subject to
quarterly and annual fluctuations as a result of a number of factors, including
but not limited to:

-      Overall technology spending

-      Changes in general economic conditions and specific market conditions in
       the Internet infrastructure industry

-      Rapid technological changes that can adversely affect the demand for the
       Company's products

-      Fluctuations in demand for the Company's products and services

-      The public's perception of Tarantella and its products

-      The long sales and implementation cycle for the Company's products



                                       17
<PAGE>

-      General industry trends and the potential effects of price and
       product competition in the Internet infrastructure industry

-      The introduction and acceptance of new technologies and products

-      Reductions in sales to, or loss of, any significant customers

-      The timing of orders, timing of shipments, and the ability to satisfy all
       contractual obligations in customer contracts

-      The impact of acquired technologies and businesses

-      The Company's ability to control spending and achieve targeted cost
       reductions

-      The ability of the Company to generate cash adequate to continue
       operations

-      The potential loss of key employees

-      The Company's ability to attract and retain qualified personnel

-      Adverse changes in the value of equity investments in third parties held
       by the Company

-      The ability of the Company's customers and suppliers to obtain financing
       or to fund capital expenditures

As a consequence, operating results for a particular future period are difficult
to predict.

THE COMPANY IS EXPOSED TO GENERAL ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS

Any significant downturn in the Companies customers' markets, or domestic and
global conditions, which result in a decline in demand for their software and
services could harm the business. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001,
the subsequent military response by the United States and future events
occurring in response to, or in connection with the attacks may negatively
impact the economy in general. In particular, the negative impacts of these
events may affect the software industry. This could result in customers delaying
or canceling orders for software. Any of these occurrences could have a
significant impact on the Companies operating results, revenues and costs and
may cause the market price of their common stock to decline or become more
volatile.

The Company's future operating results may be affected by various uncertain
trends and factors that are beyond the Company's control. These include adverse
changes in general economic conditions and rapid or unexpected changes in the
technologies affecting the Company's products. The process of developing new
high technology products is complex and uncertain and requires accurate
anticipation of customer needs and technological trends.

THE COMPANY DEPENDS ON THE DEVELOPMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF NEW PRODUCTS IN A
RAPIDLY CHANGING MARKET

The market for the Company's products is characterized by rapidly changing
technology, evolution of new industry standards, and frequent introductions of
new products and product enhancements. The Company's success will depend upon
its continued ability to enhance its existing products, to introduce new
products on a timely and cost-effective basis to meet evolving customer
requirements, to achieve market acceptance for new product offerings, and to
respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes. There
can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in developing new
products or enhancing its existing products or that such new or enhanced
products will receive market acceptance. The Company's success also depends upon
its ability to license from third parties and to incorporate into its products
new technologies that become industry standards. There can be no assurance that
the Company will continue to obtain such licenses on favorable terms or that it
will successfully incorporate such third-party technologies into its own
products.

The Company anticipates new releases of products in the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2002. There can be no assurance that such new releases will not be
affected by technical problems or "bugs", as is common in the software industry.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that these or other future product
introductions will not be delayed. Delays in the availability, or a lack of
market acceptance, of new or



                                       18
<PAGE>

enhanced products could have an adverse effect on the Company's business. There
can be no assurance that product introductions in the future will not disrupt
product revenues and adversely affect operating results.

THE COMPANY COMPETES IN THE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE INTERNET INFRASTRUCTURE MARKET

The industry has become increasingly competitive and, accordingly, the Company's
results may also be adversely affected by the actions of existing or future
competitors, including the development of new technologies, the introduction of
new products, and the reduction of prices by such competitors to gain or retain
market share. The Company's results of operations could be adversely affected if
it were required to lower its prices significantly.

OPERATING RESULTS FOR A PARTICULAR QUARTER ARE DIFFICULT TO PREDICT

The Company participates in a highly dynamic industry and future results could
be subject to significant volatility, particularly on a quarterly basis. The
Company's revenues and operating results may be unpredictable due to the
Company's shipment patterns. The Company operates with little backlog of orders
because its products are generally shipped as orders are received. In general, a
substantial portion of the Company's revenues have been booked and shipped in
the third month of the quarter, with a concentration of these revenues in the
latter half of that third month. In addition, the timing of closing of large
license contracts and the release of new products and product upgrades increase
the risk of quarter to quarter fluctuations and the uncertainty of quarterly
operating results. The Company's staffing and operating expense levels are based
on an operating plan and are relatively fixed throughout the quarter. As a
result, if revenues are not realized in the quarter as expected, the Company's
expected operating results and cash balances could be adversely affected, and
such effect could be substantial and could result in an operating loss and
depletion of the Company's cash balances. In such event, it may not be possible
for the Company to secure sources of cash to maintain operations.

THE COMPANY'S REVENUES MAY BE AFFECTED BY THE SEASONALITY OF REVENUES IN THE
EUROPEAN AND GOVERNMENT MARKETS

The Company experiences seasonality of revenues for both the European and the
U.S. federal government markets. European revenues during the quarter ending
June 30 are historically lower or relatively flat compared to the prior quarter.
This reflects a reduction of customer purchases in anticipation of reduced
selling activity during the summer months. Sales to the U.S. federal government
generally increase during the quarter ending September 30. This seasonal
increase is primarily attributable to increased purchasing activity by the U.S.
federal government prior to the close of its fiscal year. Additionally, net
revenues for the first quarter of the fiscal year are typically lower or
relatively flat compared to net revenues of the prior quarter.

REVENUES MAY BE AFFECTED BY CHANGES IN THE MIX OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

The overall cost of revenues may be affected by changes in the mix of net
revenue contribution between licenses and services, product families,
geographical regions and channels of distribution, as the costs associated with
these revenues may have substantially different characteristics. The Company may
also experience a change in margin as net revenues increase or decrease since
technology costs, services costs and production costs are fixed within certain
volume ranges.

THE COMPANY'S OPERATIONAL RESULTS COULD BE AFFECTED BY PRICE VARIATIONS

The Company's results of operations could be adversely affected if it were to
lower its prices significantly. In the event the Company reduced its prices, the
Company's standard terms for selected distributors provide credit for inventory
ordered in the previous 180 days, such credits to be applied against future
purchases.



                                       19
<PAGE>

The Company, as a matter of policy, does not allow product returns for refund.
Product returns are generally allowances for stock balancing and are accompanied
by compensating and offsetting orders. Revenues are net of a provision for
estimated future stock balancing and excess quantities above levels the Company
believes are appropriate in its distribution channels. The Company monitors the
quantity and mix of its product sales.

THE COMPANY IS DEPENDANT UPON INFORMATION RECEIVED FROM THIRD PARTIES IN ORDER
TO DETERMINE INVENTORY AND RESERVES

The Company depends on information received from external sources in evaluating
the inventory levels at distribution partners in the determination of reserves
for the return of materials not sold, stock rotation and price protection.
Significant effort has gone into developing systems and procedures for
determining the appropriate reserve level.

THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS DEPENDS UPON ITS PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND THERE IS A RISK
THAT SUCH RIGHTS WILL BE INFRINGED

The Company attempts to protect its software with a combination of patent,
copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws, employee and third party
nondisclosure agreements, license agreements, and other methods of protection.
Despite these precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to
copy certain portions of the Company's products or reverse engineer or obtain
and use information the Company regards as proprietary. While the Company's
competitive position may be affected by its ability to protect its intellectual
property rights, the Company believes that trademark and copyright protections
are less significant to the Company's success than other factors, such as the
knowledge, ability, and experience of the Company's personnel, name recognition,
and ongoing product development and support.

PORTIONS OF THE COMPANY'S SHRINK WRAP AND/OR CLICK THROUGH LICENSES MAY NOT BE
ENFORCEABLE IN CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS

The Company's software products are generally licensed to end users on a
"right-to-use" basis pursuant to a perpetual license. The Company licenses its
products to end users primarily under "shrink-wrap" or "click through" license
(i.e., licenses included as part of the product packaging or electronic
delivery). Shrink-wrap and click-through licenses, which are not negotiated with
or signed by individual end-user licensees, are intended to take effect upon
opening of the product package or agreeing to the terms electronically. Certain
provisions of such licenses, including provisions protecting against
unauthorized use, copying, transfer, and disclosure of the licensed product, may
be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. In addition, the laws
of some foreign countries do not protect the Company's intellectual property
rights to the same extent as do the laws of the U.S.

RISKS OF CLAIMS FROM THIRD PARTIES FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT COULD
ADVERSELY AFFECT THE BUSINESS

As the number of software products in the industry increases and the
functionality of these products further overlaps, the Company believes that
software products will increasingly become subject to infringement claims. There
can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims
against the Company and/or against the Company's suppliers of technology. In
general, the Company's suppliers have agreed to indemnify the Company in the
event any such claim involves supplier-provided software or technology, but any
such claim, whether or not involving a supplier, could require the Company to
enter into royalty arrangements or result in costly litigation.



                                       20
<PAGE>

THE COMPANY DEPENDS UPON LICENSING ADEQUATE TECHNOLOGY FROM THIRD PARTIES


The Company depends on the availability of technology from third parties. Most
of the software licensed by the Company is written to comply with industry
standards and because the licensor is seeking to broaden its market it is made
widely available on a non-exclusive basis by the licensor. As a result, this
software is also readily available to competitors of the Company which want to
incorporate such software into their products. The loss of any significant
third-party license or the inability to license additional technology as
required, could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations until such time as the Company could replace such technology.

TAX CARRYFORWARDS

As the Company utilizes its tax carryforwards and as new tax legislation is
enacted, the Company's effective tax rate is subject to change.

THE COMPANY'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS MAY BE AFFECTED BY FLUCTUATIONS IN FOREIGN
CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES

Substantial portions of the Company's revenues are derived from sales to
customers outside the United States. Trade sales to international customers
represented 52%, 54% and 56% of total revenues for fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The Company's revenues can be affected by general economic
conditions in the United States, Europe and other international markets. The
Company's operating strategy and pricing take into account changes in exchange
rates over time. However, the Company's results of operations may be
significantly affected in the short term by fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates.

THE CARRYING AMOUNT OF PURCHASED SOFTWARE AND TECHNOLOGY LICENSES MAY BE REDUCED
DUE TO THE COMPANY'S AMORTIZATION POLICY

The Company's policy is to amortize purchased software and technology licenses
using the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the
product, or on the ratio of current revenues to total projected product
revenues, whichever is greater. Due to competitive pressures, it is reasonably
possible that those estimates of anticipated future gross revenues, the
remaining estimated economic life of the product, or both will be reduced
significantly in the near future. As a result, the carrying amount of the
Company's purchased software and technology licenses may be reduced materially
in the near future and, therefore, could create an adverse impact on the
Company's future reported earnings.

THE COMPANY MAY MAKE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS WHERE ADVISABLE AND ACQUISITIONS
INVOLVE NUMEROUS RISKS

The Company continually evaluates potential acquisition candidates. Such
candidates are selected based on products or markets that are complementary to
those of the Company's. Acquisitions involve a number of special risks,
including the successful combination of the companies in an efficient and timely
manner, the coordination of research and development and sales efforts, the
retention of key personnel, the integration of the acquired products, the
diversion of management's attention to assimilation of the operations and
personnel of the acquired companies, and the difficulty of presenting a unified
corporate image. The Company's operations and financial results could be
significantly affected by such an acquisition.

THE COMPANY IS EXPOSED TO FLUCTUATIONS IN THE MARKET VALUES OF ITS PORTFOLIO OF
INVESTMENTS

The Company is exposed to equity price risk regarding the marketable portion of
equity securities in its portfolio of investments entered into for the promotion
of business and strategic objectives. This risk increased significantly after
the completion of the transaction with Caldera. The Company is exposed to
fluctuations in the market values of portfolio investments. The Company
maintains investment portfolio holdings of various issuers, types and
maturities. These securities are generally classified as available for sale and
consequently, are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with unrealized
gains or losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other
comprehensive income, net of tax. Part of this portfolio includes minority
equity investments in several publicly traded companies, the values of which are
subject to market price volatility. The Company has also invested in several
privately held companies, many of which can still be considered in the startup
or development stages. These investments are inherently risky as the market for
the technologies or products they have under development are typically in the
early stages and may never materialize. The Company could lose its entire
initial investment in these companies. The Company typically does not attempt to
reduce or eliminate its market exposure pertaining to these equity securities.

THE COMPANY'S SUCCESS LARGELY DEPENDS UPON ITS ABILITY TO RETAIN AND RECRUIT KEY
PERSONNEL

The Company's continued success depends to a significant extent on senior
management and other key employees. None of these individuals is subject to a
long-term employment contract or a non-competition agreement. Competition for
qualified people in the software industry is intense. The loss of one or more
key employees or the Company's inability to attract and retain other key
employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

THE COMPANY'S STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE

The stock market in general, and the market for shares of technology companies
in particular, have experienced extreme price fluctuations, which have often
been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. In
addition, factors such as new product introductions by the Company or its
competitors may have a significant impact on the market price of the Company's
Common Stock. Furthermore, quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in the Company's
results of operations caused by changes in customer demand may have a
significant impact on the market price of the Company's stock. These conditions,
as well as factors which generally affect the market for stocks of high
technology companies, could cause the price of the Company's stock to fluctuate
substantially over short periods.

IF THE COMPANY FAILS TO BECOME EURO-COMPLIANT IN A TIMELY MANNER, IT MAY RESULT
IN AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE COMPANY'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OR FINANCIAL
POSITION

The Single European Currency (Euro) was introduced on January 1, 1999 with
complete transition to this new currency required by January 2002. We have made
and expect to continue to make changes to our internal systems in preparation
for the transition to the Euro. Changes made to date include changing the
operating currency of the European subsidiaries that are affected by the Euro
from the national currency to the Euro, which became effective during fiscal
2001. We expect to complete the conversion of all financial aspects of these
subsidiaries by December 31, 2001.

We further expect that use of the Euro may affect our foreign exchange
activities and may result in increased fluctuations in foreign currency results.
Any delays in our ability to be Euro-compliant could have an adverse impact on
our results of operations or financial position.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, at
the beginning of its fiscal year 2001. The standard requires the Company to
recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that
are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative
is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of
derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged
assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings, or recognized in other
comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. During the
year, the Company maintained certain derivatives related to warrants held by the
Company in Ebiz, Inc., and warrants issued by the Company to underwriters of a
private placement completed in the prior year. The fair value of the warrants
were recorded at October 1, 2000 with adjustments recorded to income throughout
the year based on the then current fair value. As of September 30, 2001, the
fair value of both warrants was determined to be insignificant.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
141, "Business Combinations." SFAS No. 141 addresses the initial recognition and
measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business
combination. SFAS No. 141 is applicable to business combinations beginning July
1, 2001. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material
impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." SFAS No. 142 addresses the recognition and measurement of goodwill and
other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. SFAS No. 142 also
addresses the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets acquired
outside of a business combination whether acquired individually or with a group
of other assets. Goodwill and intangible assets previously recorded on the
Company's consolidated financial statements will be affected by the provisions
of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year
2003. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact
on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,"
and addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal
of long-lived assets. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001. Tarantella is required to adopt SFAS No. 144 on October
1, 2002. The adoption of this statement in not expected to have a material
impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In September of 2000, SFAS No. 140 was issued replacing SFAS No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of Liabilities". This Statement provides accounting and reporting standards for
transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities
based on a financial-components approach that focuses on control. Under that
approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the
financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred,
derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and
derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. In addition, this statement requires
certain disclosures regarding securitization of financial assets. This statement
is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments
of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. The adoption of this statement
did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and
disclosure of revenue and financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB 101
outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides
guidance for disclosures related to revenue recognition policies. The Company
has adopted SAB 101 effective with the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The
implementation of SAB 101 did not have a material effect on the financial
position or results of operations of the Company.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET-RATE SENSITIVE INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The following discussion about the Company's risk-management activities includes
"forward-looking statements" that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results
could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rates, and equity security price risk. We do not use
derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

The following tables summarize the financial instruments held by the Company at
September 30, 2001 which are sensitive to changes in interest rates. In the past
the Company used forward foreign exchange contracts to manage foreign exchange
exposures associated with underlying assets, liabilities and anticipated
transactions. Since the completion of the transaction in which the Company sold
the Server Software and Professional Services divisions to Caldera
International, the Company does not feel the foreign exchange risk is great
enough to warrant the purchase of forward foreign exchange contracts.

In the normal course of business, the Company also faces risks that are either
non-financial or non-quantifiable. Such risks principally include technology
risk, country risk, credit risk and legal risk, and are not represented in the
following tables.

INTEREST-RATE RISK

As of September 30, 2001 the Company had cash and equivalents of $12.1 million,
consisting of cash and highly liquid money market instruments with maturities of
less than 90 days, and bank certificate of deposits of $2.0 million. Because of
the short maturities of these instruments, a sudden change in market interest
rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of the portfolio. The
company would not expect operating results or cash flows to be affected to any
significant degree by the effect of a sudden change in market interest on our
portfolio.

TARANTELLA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 -- THE COMPANY

THE COMPANY Tarantella is a leading provider of Internet infrastructure software
that enables web-based access to enterprise applications. The Tarantella
Enterprise 3 solution instantly provides managed and secure Web access to
enterprise mainframe, Windows, AS/400, Linux, and UNIX applications. It
leverages existing IT assets to provide cost savings, improved productivity, and
the flexibility to accommodate the rapid changes in today's organizations.

The Company was incorporated as The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. (SCO) in
California in 1979. On May 4, 2001, SCO completed the sale of its Server
Software and Professional Services Divisions to Caldera Systems, Inc., retaining
the Tarantella Division. A new company, Caldera International, was formed which
combined the assets acquired from SCO with the assets of Caldera Systems. Upon
the completion of the sale, The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. changed its corporate
name to Tarantella, Inc. and its Nasdaq trading symbol to TTLA, reflecting the
new corporate focus.

NOTE 2 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The Company operates in the software industry,
which is characterized by intense competition, rapid technological advances and
evolving industry standards. Factors that could affect the Company's future
operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations
include, but are not limited to, dependence on an industry that is characterized
by rapid technological changes, fluctuations in end-user demands, evolving
industry standards, competition, and risks associated with foreign currencies.
Failure by the Company to anticipate or respond adequately to technological
developments in its industry, changes in customer or supplier requirements or
changes in industry standards could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business and operating results.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("generally
accepted accounting principles") requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
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. Such estimates include the allowances for bad debt, product
returns and certain accrued expenses and liabilities, and a valuation allowance
for deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain prior year reclassifications have been made for
consistent presentation.

CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS The Company considers all highly
liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the date of
acquisition to be cash equivalents. Short-term investments include instruments
with lives ranging from 91 days to three years.

INVESTMENTS The Company classifies its investments in certain equity securities
in publicly traded companies as available-for-sale. Such investments are
recorded at fair market value, based on quoted market prices and unrealized
gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income. As of September 30,
2001, unrealized losses on such investments were $5.7 million. As of September
30, 2000, unrealized gains were $3.5 million. The Company has investments in
privately held companies which are classified as other assets. Realized gains
and losses, which are calculated based on the specific



                                       30
<PAGE>

identification method, are recorded in operations as incurred. Investments in
companies with less than 20% ownership are carried at the lower of cost or
realizable value.

CREDIT RISK Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations
of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term investments and
accounts receivable. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments consist
primarily of cash accounts held at various banks, a money market fund held at
several financial institutions and a certificate of deposit. We sell our
products various organizations in different industries and geographies. Credit
risk is further mitigated by our credit evaluation process and limited payment
terms. We do not require collateral or other security to support accounts
receivable. In addition, we maintain an allowance for potential credit losses.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost and, except for
assets recorded under capital lease and leasehold improvements, are depreciated
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets,
ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements and assets recorded
under capitalized leases are amortized using the straight-line method over the
lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the estimated economic life of the
asset, ranging from one to ten years.

PURCHASED SOFTWARE AND TECHNOLOGY LICENSES Purchased software consists of core
intellectual property rights owned by the Company. Technology licenses represent
payments for the rights to use and integrate third party technology into the
Company's product offerings. Amounts capitalized are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the estimated product life, ranging from three to ten
years, or on the ratio of current revenues to total projected product revenues,
whichever results in greater amortization.

ACCOUNTING FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company reviews property and equipment and
purchased software and technology licenses for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of its carrying amount
to estimated future net cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such
assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is
measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the
projected discounted future operating cash flows.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 86 provides for the capitalization of certain software development costs
once technological feasibility is established. Capitalized costs are then
amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated product life, or on the
ratio of current revenues to total projected product revenues, whichever is
greater. Through September 30, 2001, the Company believes its process for
developing software was essentially completed concurrent with the establishment
of technological feasibility, and accordingly, no software development costs
have been capitalized to date.

At each balance sheet date the Company compares the unamortized balance of
purchased software and technology with its net realizable value. Any amount by
which the unamortized balance exceeds the net realizable value is written off.
The net realizable value is calculated as the estimated future gross revenues
from the product reduced by the estimated future costs of completing and
disposing of that product, including the costs of performing the maintenance and
customer support required to satisfy the Company's responsibility set forth at
the time of the sale.

REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company's revenue is derived primarily from two sources,
across many industries: (i) products license revenue, derived primarily from
product sales to resellers and end users, including large scale enterprises and
royalty revenue, derived primarily from initial license fees and ongoing
royalties from product sales by source code OEMs; and (ii) services and support
revenue, derived primarily from providing software updates, support and
education and consulting services to end users.

The Company adopted the provisions of AICPA Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2,
Software Revenue Recognition, as amended. Product revenue is recognized upon
shipment if evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed and
determinable, collection of resulting receivables is probable and product
returns



                                       31
<PAGE>

are reasonably assured. Sales to distributors, are recognized upon sale by the
distributor to resellers or end users. Estimated product returns are recorded
upon recognition of revenue from customers having rights of return, including
exchange rights for unsold products and product upgrades.

Until May 2001, the Company sold two types of software product -- its UNIX based
operating system software, which was sold under the Unixware and OpenServer
names, and its application broker software sold under the Tarantella name. In
May 2001, the Company sold the UNIX based business to Caldera Systems, Inc.

The Company sold Unixware and OpenServer products separately and as a result,
contracts involving the sale of Unixware and OpenServer which contain multiple
obligations (e.g. delivered and undelivered products, maintenance and other
services), the Company allocated revenue to each component of the contract based
on objective evidence of its fair value, which is specific to the Company. The
fair value of each element is based on the price sold separately. The Company
recognized revenue allocated to undelivered products when the criteria for
product revenue set forth above was met.

For multiple element contracts involving the sale of its Tarantella product the
Company uses the residual value method to allocate revenue to each component.
The fair value of services and post contract support is determined based upon
separate sales and renewal rates set forth in the contract, respectively.

The Company recognizes revenue from maintenance fees for ongoing customer
support and product updates ratably over the period of the maintenance contract.
Payments for maintenance fees are generally made in advance and are
non-refundable. For revenue allocated to education and consulting services or
derived from the separate sale of such services, the Company recognizes revenue
as the related services are performed.

The Company recognizes product revenue from royalty payments upon receipt of
quarterly royalty reports from OEMs (original equipment manufacturer) related to
their product sales.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial
condition and does not require collateral. The Company maintains allowances for
potential credit losses and such losses have been within management's
expectations.

COOPERATIVE ADVERTISING The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. The
Company reimburses certain qualified customers for a portion of the advertising
costs related to their promotion of the Company's products. The Company's
maximum liability for reimbursement is accrued at the time revenue is recognized
as a percentage of the qualified customer's net revenue derived from the
Company's products. For 2001, 2000 and 1999, cooperative advertising expense
totaled approximately $1.6 million, $7.8 million and $10.5 million,
respectively.

INCOME TAXES The Company records income taxes using an asset and liability
approach that results in the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in
the Company's consolidated financial statements or tax returns. In estimating
future tax consequences, all expected future events other than enactment of
changes in tax laws are considered. When necessary, a valuation allowance is
recorded to reduce tax assets to an amount whose realization is more likely than
not. The provision for income taxes represents taxes payable for the current
period, plus the net change in deferred tax amounts.

COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic earnings (loss) per share is
computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings
(loss) per share is computed by giving effect to all dilutive potential common
shares that were outstanding during the period. For the Company, dilutive
potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon
the exercise of stock options and warrants for all periods.

SEGMENT INFORMATION In 1999, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". SFAS No. 131
supercedes SFAS No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business
Enterprise". Under the new standard the Company is required to use the
"management" approach to reporting its segments. The management approach
designates the internal



                                       33
<PAGE>

organization used by management for making operating decisions and assessing
performance as the source of the Company's segments.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities," as amended, at the beginning of its fiscal year 2001. The
standard requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet
at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value
through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the
hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives will either be offset against
the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments
through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged
item is recognized in earnings. During the year, the Company maintained certain
derivatives related to warrants held by the Company in Ebiz, Inc., and warrants
issued by the Company to underwriters of a private placement completed in the
prior year. The fair value of the warrants were recorded at October 1, 2000 with
adjustments recorded to income throughout the year based on the then current
fair value. As of September 30, 2001, the fair value of both warrants was
determined to be insignificant.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
141, "Business Combinations." SFAS No. 141 addresses the initial recognition and
measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business
combination. SFAS No. 141 is applicable to business combinations beginning July
1, 2001. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material
impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." SFAS No. 142 addresses the recognition and measurement of goodwill and
other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. SFAS No. 142 also
addresses the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets acquired
outside of a business combination whether acquired individually or with a group
of other assets. Goodwill and intangible assets previously recorded on the
Company's consolidated financial statements will be affected by the provisions
of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year
2003. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact
on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,"
and addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal
of long-lived assets. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001. Tarantella is required to adopt SFAS No. 144 on October
1, 2002. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material
impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In September of 2000, SFAS No. 140 was issued replacing SFAS No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of Liabilities". This statement provides accounting and reporting standards for
transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities
based on a financial-components approach that focuses on control. Under that
approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the
financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred,
derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and
derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. In addition, this statement requires
certain disclosures regarding securitization of financial assets. This statement
is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments
of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. The adoption of this statement
did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and
disclosure of revenue and financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB 101
outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides
guidance for disclosures related to revenue recognition policies. The Company
has adopted SAB 101 effective with the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The
implementation of SAB 101 did not have a material effect on the financial
position or results of operations of the Company.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for employee stock plans under the
intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB")
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB No. 25"), and Financial
Accounting Standards Board Interpretation ("FASB") No. 44, "Accounting for
Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation" (an Interpretation of APB No.
25) and has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation". The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to
non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The functional currency of the Company's foreign
subsidiaries is the local foreign currency. All assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the
exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. Revenues, costs and expenses
are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period.
Translation adjustments resulting from translation of the subsidiaries' accounts
are accumulated as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Gains and
losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the
consolidated statements of operations and have not been significant.

HEDGING OF FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS In the past the Company utilized
foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency market
exposures of underlying assets, liabilities and other obligations. The Company
did not use forward exchange contracts for speculative or trading purposes. The
Company's accounting policies for these instruments are based on the Company's
designation of such instruments as hedging transactions. The criteria the
Company uses for designating an instrument as a hedge include the instrument's
effectiveness in risk reduction and one-to-one matching of forward exchange
contracts to underlying transactions. Gains and losses on currency forward
contracts that are designated and effective as hedges of firm commitments are
deferred and recognized in income in the same period that the underlying
transactions are settled. Gains and losses on currency forward contracts that
are designated and effective as hedges of existing transactions are recognized
in income in the same period as losses and gains on the underlying transactions
are recognized and generally offset. Gains and losses on any instruments not
meeting the above criteria would be recognized in income in the current period.
The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies. At September 30,
2001 the Company had no foreign exchange contracts. At September 30, 2000, the
Company had foreign exchange contracts, all having maturities of 90 days or
less, to sell approximately $9,000,000 in U.S. dollars.

The fair value of these contracts at September 30, 2000 was not significant. As
of September 30, 2000 the following contracts were outstanding:

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Carrying amounts of certain of the Company's
financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables,
accounts payable, accrued payroll and other accrued liabilities, approximate
fair value because of their short maturities. The fair values of investments are
determined using quoted market prices for those securities or similar financial
instruments. The fair value of other long-term liabilities approximates the
carrying value due to the market interest rates that these obligations bear. A
non-interest bearing $8.0 million note receivable was received from Caldera in
connection with the sale of the server and professional services divisions. The
note is due in quarterly installments beginning August 1, 2002 and is secured by
certain intellectual property sold to Caldera. The value of the note receivable
at September 30, 2001 is as follows:

Depreciation and amortization expense was $5.1 million, $9.9 million and $11.7
million during fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. During fiscal 2001 the
Company sold net property and equipment of $8.4 million to Caldera as part of
the sale of the Server and Professional Services divisions.

NOTE 7 - LINE OF CREDIT

At September 30, 2001, the Company had available an $18 million line of credit
from the Canopy Group, under which the Company had no borrowings. The interest
rate on this line of credit is 10% on amounts borrowed. The line of credit
expires on December 31, 2001 and is secured by the assets of the Company. In
connection with the line of credit, the Company issued a warrant to purchase
1,440,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.5625 Per share. The
warrant expires on January 8, 2003. The estimated fair value of the warrant,
$1.0 million, has been recorded as a deferred financing cost in other assets and
is being amortized over the term of the agreement.

NOTE 8 - ROYALTIES PAYABLE

Royalties payable represent obligations to pay authors of certain software
products under licensing agreements. Two corporate shareholders accounted $0.6
million of royalty expense for fiscal 2000. At September 30, 2001 and September
30, 2000 no royalties were payable to corporate shareholders. There was no
royalty expense for corporate shareholders in fiscal 2001.

Included in the Company's operating lease commitments are facilities leased from
Encinal Partners, a partnership which includes the Company President and Chief
Executive Officer. The Company's Board of Directors has reviewed and approved
the lease agreements and determined that the lease agreements entered into by
the Company are equivalent to agreements that would be negotiated with an
independent third party on an "arms-length" basis. The remaining lease term of
this facility is four years. Rent expense for this facility amounted to
approximately $1.4 million in fiscal 2001, $1.5 million in fiscal 2000, and $1.4
million in fiscal 1999.

From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries may experience claims in the
ordinary course of business, including among others employee legal actions and
alleged trademark infringements. Due to the nature of these matters, it is not
possible to either determine the range of loss that may result from them or
their ultimate resolution.

NOTE 11 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

PREFERRED STOCK The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of
Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2001, there were no shares of Preferred
Series stock either issued or outstanding.

1993 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase
Plan ("ESPP") for all eligible employees which is administered by the Board of
Directors. Under the ESPP, shares of the Company's ESPP stock may be purchased
at six-month intervals at 85% of the fair market value on the first or last day
of each six-month period whichever is lower. Employees may purchase shares
through payroll deductions of up to 10% of gross compensation during an offering
period. During 2001, 2000, and 1999, employees purchased 670,591, 493,092, and
589,968 shares at an average per share price of $1.72, $4.31, and $3.52 ,
respectively. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP was
increased by 250,000 shares in July 2001. As of September 30, 2001, 1,196,466
shares were reserved for future issuance.

1994 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN As of September 30, 2001, the Company had
authorized 21,513,665 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 1994
Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan"). The Company's Board of
Directors administers the Option Plan and determines the terms of the options
granted under the Option Plan, including the exercise price, number of shares
subject to each option and the exercisability thereof. In addition, the stock
option committee of the Company's Board of Directors is authorized to grant up
to 50,000 shares to an individual employee or consultant under the terms of the
Option Plan during a one-year period. In July 2001, the number of shares
available for issuance under this plan was increased by 1,500,000 shares. As of
September 30, 2001 there were 6.7 million shares available for issuance. On
October 9, 2001, 4.1 million shares were granted, reducing the number of shares
available for issuance to 2.6 million shares.

The exercise price of all incentive options granted under the Option Plan must
be at least equal to the fair market value. Options granted under the Option
Plan prior to January 31, 1996 generally become exercisable over a five year
period. Effective January 31, 1996, the vesting period for subsequent grants was
changed to four years. The term of each option is ten years.

1993 DIRECTOR OPTION PLAN The Company's 1993 Director Option Plan (the "Director
Plan") provides for the granting of nonstatutory stock options to non-employee
directors of the Company and is administered by the Board of Directors. In July
2001, the number of shares available for issuance under the Director Plan was
increased by 100,000 shares. As of September 30, 2001 there were 1.0 million
shares available for issuance.

A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plans as of September 30,
2001, 2000, and 1999, and changes during the years then ended is presented
below:

PRO FORMA FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" requires pro forma information
regarding net income and earnings per share as if the Company had accounted for
its employee stock options and other stock-based compensation under the fair
value method. The fair value of the options granted under the Option Plan and
the Director Plan was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 2001,
2000, and 1999: risk-free interest rate of 4.91% for 2001, 6.31% for 2000, and
5.27% for 1999; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factor of the expected market
price of the Company's common stock of 87.5% for 2001, 75% for 2000 and 65% for
1999; an average turnover rate of 15% and a four year and five year expected
life for options granted to employees and executives, respectively.



                                       40

The fair value for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan rights were also estimated
at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following assumptions for 2001, 2000, and 1999: risk-free interest rates of
4.74%, 5.07%, and 4.91%, respectively; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factor
of 87.5% for 2001, 75% for 2000, and 65% for 1999; and six month expected life.
The weighted average fair value of the ESPP rights granted in 2001, 2000, and
1999 was $1.02, $2.86, and $1.31, respectively.

The pro forma effects of applying SFAS No. 123 for recognizing compensation
expense may not be representative of the effects on the reported net income or

several years and additional awards may be made in the future.

COMMON STOCK REPURCHASES The Company repurchases its common stock on the open
market, both systematically and non-systematically. Under the systematic stock
repurchase plan, shares of common stock are repurchased to help negate the
dilutive effects of the Incentive Stock Option Plan and the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001, the company did
not repurchase any shares under the systematic plan, while in fiscal years ended
2000, and 1999, the purchases and retirements of common stock under the
systematic plan were 758,578 shares and 1,038,000 shares respectively. Under the
non-systematic repurchase plan, the Company may repurchase up to 6,000,000
shares of its common stock. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and
2000, the company did not repurchase any shares under the non-systematic plan,
while in fiscal years ended September 30, 1999, 1,386,000 were repurchased and
retired under the non-systematic plan. Both the systematic and non-systematic
plans have been approved for continuance into fiscal 2002.

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS In September 1997, the Company adopted a Shareholder Rights
Plan which provides existing shareholders with the right to purchase a partial
share of preferred stock for each share of common stock owned by the shareholder
in the event of certain changes in the Company's ownership. These rights may
serve as a deterrent to certain takeover attempts not approved by the Company's
Board of Directors. The rights expire in September 2007.

WARRANTS On September 22, 2000 the Company entered into a private placement
agreement where the investors have subscribed for a total of 409,375 units at
$32 per unit. Each unit consists of 8 shares of common stock of the Company and
a warrant to purchase either 2 additional shares of the Company's stock at $3.75
per share or 1 share of Caldera common stock at $6.50 per share. The total fair
value of the Tarantella common stock plus either of the warrants was in excess
of the $32.00 received. The warrants have a two year life. Total proceeds from
the private placement, net of issuance costs of $331,000, were $12.8 million.

When the transaction with Caldera was consummated, the Company assessed the fair
value of the warrants in Caldera stock and reclassified $1.2 million, the amount
equal to this fair value, from equity to liabilities. In addition, the Company
will continue to reassess the fair value of this liability for every reporting
period until the warrants are exercised or expire. Any change in the fair value
of this liability is recorded into the statements of operations.



                                       41
<PAGE>

Upon the initial issuance, the Company determined the fair value of the warrants
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Upon the closing of the Caldera
transaction the Company determined the fair value using a binomial valuation
model and the following assumptions: a two year exercise period, a 100%
volatility rate for Caldera, which is consistent with the rate disclosed in
their financial statements, and a dividend rate of zero. Based on the
assumptions above, the fair value of the warrants to purchase 439,375 shares as
of September 30, 2001 was zero and as of September 30, 2000 was approximately
$697,000.

During fiscal 2001, in connection with a line of credit (see Note 7); the
Company issued warrants to purchase 1,440,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $1.5625 Per share. The warrant expires on January 8, 2003.

The net change in the total valuation allowance for fiscal years 2001, 2000 and
1999 was an increase of approximately $25.0 million, $25.9 million and $0.6
million, respectively. Subsequently recognized tax benefits relating to the
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets at September 30, 2001 will be
allocated to income tax benefit and additional paid in capital in the amounts of
$69.6 million and $8.2 million respectively.

The Company's management believes the uncertainty regarding the timing of the
realization of net deferred tax assets requires a valuation allowance.

At September 30, 2001, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $109.8 million which expire in fiscal years 2012 through 2021, and
foreign tax and research credit carryforwards of approximately $1.2 million and
$10.1 million respectively, which expire in fiscal 2002 through 2015.
Additionally, the Company has other tax credits of approximately $0.9 million
that have no expiration date.

At September 30, 2001, the cumulative unremitted foreign earnings of the Company
were not material. The Company intends to reinvest these earnings indefinitely.

NOTE 13 -- TRANSACTION WITH CALDERA SYSTEMS, INC.

On May 4, 2001, the Company consummated the sale of its Server Software and
Professional Services Divisions to Caldera Systems, Inc. Under the terms of the
transaction, Caldera Systems, Inc. acquired the assets of the server and
professional services groups. A new company, Caldera International, was formed
which combined the assets acquired from the Company with the assets of Caldera
Systems. Upon the completion of the sale the Company is continuing to operate
its Tarantella business, and accordingly, changed its corporate name to
Tarantella, Inc. and NASDAQ trading symbol to TTLA to reflect the new corporate
name.

As consideration for the transaction, the Company received 16 million common
stock shares of Caldera International (representing approximately 28.2% of
Caldera International), $23 million in cash (of which $7 million was received on
January 26, 2001) and a non-interest bearing promissory note in the amount of $8
million that will be received in quarterly installments of $2 million beginning
the fifth quarter after the combination is completed. In addition, if the
OpenServer line of business of the server and professional services groups
generates revenues in excess of specified thresholds during the three-year
period following the completion of the combination the Company will have
earn-out rights entitling it to receive 45% of these excess revenues. The
transaction was treated as a disposal of server and professional services groups
and a gain of $53,267,000 was recorded upon completion of the transaction. The
Company accounts for its investment in Caldera International using the equity
method of accounting.

As Tarantella retained a 28.2% interest in Caldera International, including the
server and professional services groups, the Company did not recognize a gain on
100% of the sale of the server and professional services groups. Tarantella
recorded a gain calculated at 71.8% of the fair value of the Caldera
International stock received less 71.8% of SCO's basis in the assets of the
server and professional services groups plus net cash consideration and the fair
value of the note receivable at the date of closing as follows (dollars in

</TABLE>

The excess of net assets acquired over the value of the investment represents
negative goodwill and is amortized over the estimated useful life of five years.

For the fourth fiscal quarter, the Company's operating results included 28.2% of
the operating results of Caldera International, adjusted for amortization of 5
months of negative goodwill of approximately $0.7 million. The net amount of the
losses included were $4.6 million. The Company also recorded an impairment of
the investment, net of the remaining negative goodwill of $7.8 million, in the
amount of $22.5 million. The impairment was recorded as the share price of
Caldera International was significantly below the fair market value of
Tarantella's and was deemed to be other than temporarily impaired.

NOTE 14 - RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

FISCAL 2001

During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company announced and completed a
restructuring plan, which resulted in a one-time charge of $1.6 million, which
when taken with an adjustment to a previously established restructuring reserve,
resulted in the net charge of $1.1 million. The Company has reduced its spending
levels to align its operating expenses with the Company's revenues. The
restructuring charge is related to the Tarantella division and included a
reduction in personnel of 28 employees and a planned elimination and sublet of
unused facilities. The entire $1.6 million relates to cash expenditures.

The severance charges of $1.5 million include the elimination of 16 positions in
the United States, 4 positions in the United Kingdom, and 8 positions in various
other geographies. The reductions in force affect the sales, marketing and
general and administrative functions of the Company. As of September 30, 2001,
all 28 positions have been eliminated and there are no remaining cash
expenditures.

The Company intends to partially sublet space in the Santa Cruz, California
office. This space will be vacated and restored and subsequently sublet. The
Company anticipated that the sub-lease would be completed within three months,
however as of September 30, 2001, the space remained vacant.

The fiscal 2001 second quarter restructuring charge is summarized as follows:

NOTE 15 -- INVESTMENTS

In November 1996, the Company purchased $2.0 million of convertible debentures
from a domestic distribution channel partner. In February 1999, the Company
elected to convert, in its entirety, the debenture into shares of preferred
stock. In January 2000 the Company redeemed 68,805 shares at their cost of
$2.181 per share. After the redemption the Company had 848,259 shares of
preferred stock at a cost of $1.85 million. On January 4, 2001 the channel
distribution partner was purchased by Ebiz Enterprises, Inc., and the Company
received 2,367,999 shares of Ebiz common stock.

In March 2000, the Company purchased $2.0 million of preferred stock in a
private Linux distribution company. On October 5, 2000 this company was
purchased by Ebiz Enterprises, Inc. The Company received 2,208,749 shares of
Ebiz common stock and 787,878 warrants to purchase shares.

As of September 30, 2001 the Company's ownership of Ebiz is approximately 14%,
and the Company has the right to have one Board member. The Company accounts for
the investment using the cost method as it is not deemed to exert significant
influence. During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the Company determined the
decline in the fair value of its investment was other than temporary and thus
required a permanent write-down of the investment.

At September 30, 2001, the Company had gross accounts receivable with Ebiz of
$1.1 million, however this amount is fully reserved as the company has declared
bankruptcy and may not have the ability to pay. At September 30, 2000, the
Company had net accounts receivable outstanding with this domestic distribution
channel partner of $1.0 million. Sales to this related party was $2.0 million
for fiscal 2001, $5.3 million for fiscal 2000 and $8.0 million for fiscal 1999.
Sales in fiscal 2001 include product and services sold to the Company's channel
distribution partner prior to its acquisition by Ebiz.

In January 1995, the Company purchased 10% of the preferred stock of Rainmaker
Systems, Inc. ("Rainmaker"), another of the Company's domestic distribution
partners, in exchange for cash, product and equipment valued at $1.0 million. In
addition, the Company loaned $1.0 million to Rainmaker in exchange for
convertible debentures. In February 1999, the Company exchanged the preferred
stock and debentures for shares of Series D Convertible Participating Preferred
Stock (the "Series D Preferred"). During fiscal



                                       48
<PAGE>

year 1999, the Company sold approximately 1,704,011 shares of Series D with a
cost basis of $0.6 million, and received cash proceeds of $3.8 million. The
Company's interest of ownership of Rainmaker before and after the sale was 15.3%
and 10.3% respectively. On November 17, 1999, Rainmaker completed an initial
public offering of its common stock, at which time, the shares of Series D
Preferred held by the Company automatically converted into shares of Rainmaker's
common stock on a one-for-one basis. At September 30, 2001, the Company held
505,767 shares of Rainmaker's common stock. The Company accounts for these
shares as available-for-sale securities and records them at fair market value,
based on quoted market prices with any unrealized gains or losses included as
part of accumulated other comprehensive income. During fiscal 2001, the Company
sold 3,200,000 shares of Rainmaker stock with a cost basis of $1.1 million, and
received cash proceeds of $3.2 million. During fiscal 2000, the Company sold
307,692 shares of Rainmaker stock with a cost basis of $0.1 million, and
received cash proceeds of $2.0 million.

At September 30, 2001 the Company did not have any accounts receivable for
Rainmaker. At September 30, 2000, the Company had accounts receivable
outstanding with Rainmaker for $0.4 million. Sales to this related party were
$3.7 million for fiscal 2001, $12.0 million for fiscal 2000 and $16.8 million
for fiscal 1999.

NOTE 16 -- INDUSTRY AND GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENT INFORMATION

Beginning on May 4, 2001, with the sale of the Server Software and Professional
Services divisions, the company discontinued managing the business by division
or geographic segment. Prior to May 4, 2001, the Company reviewed performance on
the basis of its three divisions - the Server Software Division, the Tarantella
Division, and the Professional Services Division. Prior to fiscal 2000, the
Company reviewed performance on the basis of geographical segments. The Company
used analysis of segment revenues and gross margin in order to make preliminary
decisions of resource allocation. No information on total assets by segment was
ever reviewed. The accounting policies used by each segment complied with the
policies used in the consolidated financial statements.

The following table presents information about reportable segments as well as
information on long-lived assets by geography. Revenue is allocated to segments
based on the location from which the sale is satisfied and long-lived asset
information is based on the physical location of the asset.

NOTE 18 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 11, 2001 the Company announced that during the first quarter of
fiscal 2002 they would lower their expense run-rate by 30% or $3 million per
quarter. In order to do this the company is reducing headcount by 53 people,
consolidating operations in Santa Cruz to only a portion of the building the
Company currently occupies and closing their office in Japan. As a result of
these actions the Company will be recording a one-time charge of approximately
$2.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

As part of the plan to reduce operating expense, the Company is executing a
one-year compensation reduction plan. Executive officers cash compensation will
be reduce by 30%, with the entire senior management team taking tiered
reductions, with an average 20% reduction overall. Employees that were required
to participate in this reduction in compensation were given discounted stock
options, fully vested, equivalent to two shares for every dollar of cash
compensation reduction. A total of 2.1 million shares were granted to 27
employees. The Company will record a $579,000 charge in relation to this
discounted grant. In addition to these shares, 2.0 million shares were granted
to employees as part of an employee retention program.
