                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Preliminary Note
----------------

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations 
of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and 
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted 
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the 
following disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not 
misleading.  These condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments 
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of 
management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position and results 
of operations of the Company for the periods presented.  It is suggested that 
these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial 
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on 
Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, as amended.

The Company was incorporated on June 11, 1992.  Its activities since inception 
until October 7, 1997 were limited to organizational matters.  For the purpose 
of merging with Arkona, Inc., a Utah corporation pursuant to an agreement 
dated October 7, 1997, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Thorsden 
Acquisition Corp.  An Agreement and Plan of Merger was executed on October 7, 
1997 resulting in a reverse triangular merger, accounted for as a purchase.

The merger resulted in Thorsden Acquisition Corp. ceasing to exist with the 
surviving entity now operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of Thorsden under 
the name of Arkona, Inc.

Arkona, Inc. was incorporated from a Limited Liability Company ("LLC") on or 
about September 30, 1997.  All the assets and liabilities of the LLC were 
transferred into the corporation and the LLC ceased to exist.

The Agreement and Plan of Merger set forth that Thorsden would issue 
14,000,000 shares to Arkona Inc.'s shareholders.  At that time Thorsden had 
424,500 shares outstanding and issued additional 1,575,500 shares to  
Thorsden's shareholders.  Immediately after this issuance Arkona Inc.'s  
shareholders owned 14,000,000 of the total outstanding of 16,000,000 shares, 
or 87.5%.

Comparative figures in this report have been restated, where necessary, for 
the effects of this merger.

    Also, on October 7, 1997, a private placement of securities was completed
wherein the Company received cash of approximately $1,159,390 and marketable 
securities of approximately $840,610.  These marketable securities have since 
been written down to their market value of $716,918 at December 31, 1997.  A 
total of 4,000,000 additional shares were issued in conjunction with the 
private placement.  The total current outstanding shares are 20,000,000.  
Thorsden incurred approximately $68,000 in transaction costs associated with 
the private placement and has recorded these against equity.     

Interest income is all bank interest.

                                    GENERAL

The Thorsden Group, Ltd. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation organized 
in 1992 for the purpose of seeking and acquiring business opportunities.  In 
October  1997, the Company merged with Arkona, Inc., a Utah corporation in a 
reverse triangular merger, accounted for as a purchase.  Arkona's predecessor, 
Arkona LLC, a limited liability company was founded in September 1996. Since 
the merger, the Company has continued the business of Arkona, which is as 
follows:

DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING
---------------------

For more than a decade, the computer industry has been striving to extend the
value of stored information from large enterprise systems to networked desktop
computers. Networked computing allowed corporations to empower knowledge 
workers by giving them direct control of information and applications - 
productivity skyrocketed. In recent years, the Internet has allowed companies 
to extend the scope and value of their networks even further. Members of the 
Internet's "connected" community can obtain a wide variety of corporate data. 
Finally, a third iteration of the theme is quietly but forcefully gaining 
momentum.

Information access is once again being extended further than ever before - 
this time to a wave of mobile, disconnected, and geographically distributed 
employees, partners, and customers. Organizations that take advantage of this th
ird wave can finally apply corporate knowledge at its final and most critical 
destination - the customer point of service.

INTELLIGENT SYNCHRONIZATION
---------------------------

Arkona's unique software solutions are helping to bring about this 
"Distributed" information wave by extending a business's most critical 
information and applications - large knowledge databases. These databases are 
monolithic in size and complexity making them inherently poor applications for 
mobile workers such as field sales and service representatives.

When field personnel visit customers for sales or service calls, it is 
paramount that they arrive with all pertinent customer information, including 
detailed information on products, pricing, contracts, and any other 
information which might affect the customer. The great challenge is that this 
kind of structured information is ideally suited for large corporate databases 
and workhorse computers. To make matters worse, the information is rarely 
stored in a single repository. The result is a complex computing environment 
difficult to mobilize for field service professionals.

Surprisingly, this simple requirement of efficiently extracting information 
from larger, disparate databases and seamlessly synchronizing it upon check in 
from the field is a struggle that costs corporations millions in lost 
knowledge capital, lost sales, and lost customers. This challenge represents 
enormous waste and frustration both for corporations and their customers. The 
need to resolve this dilemma was the genesis of Arkona's software solutions.  
Instead of aiming to displace large corporate databases, which function very 
well at the home office where there is ample computing power, Arkona extends 
the value of these databases by cleanly extracting mission critical 
information for point of service use. And Arkona's software maximizes existing 
software investments by working equally well with any of the widely used 
database systems including Oracle, Sybase, Informix, PeopleSoft, BAAN, SAP, 
Microsoft, and others.

HOW THE CUSTOMER BENEFITS
-------------------------

Arkona's products and services help customers to:

OPTIMIZE SYNCHRONIZATION OF DATA AND APPLICATIONS: Arkona's Universal Update  
technology optimizes the process of synchronizing distributed and mobile data 
sources. The Universal Update Server reduces bandwidth requirements by  
distributing and reconciling only incremental differences between client and 
server data sources. Administrators may also define profiles for individual 
users, groups, or other servers. Information is customized and distributed 
based on business logic stored in the user profile. 

REDUCE THE HIGH COST OF INFORMATION AND APPLICATION UPDATES: Arkona's 
synchronization solutions eliminate data "snapshots" mailed to the field,  
costly downtime for application updates, and time consuming support of remote 
installation procedures. Arkona's technology allows customers to simply, 
inexpensively and securely update and synchronize critical information and 
distributed applications. 

SIMPLIFY THE DELIVERY OF INFORMATION: End-users can update information and 
applications with the click of a button, avoiding data/application 
reconciliation problems.

PROFIT FROM FLEXIBLE SYNCHRONIZATION SOLUTIONS: True object design and 
reusable code libraries allow Arkona to quickly and efficiently create proven 
synchronization solutions to a customer's exact specifications. Arkona's  
custom solutions take advantage of multiple data sources, data types, OS  
platforms, and various mobile devices.

LEVERAGE AND REVITALIZE LEGACY SYSTEMS: Arkona's custom solutions easily  
integrate with existing corporate information and knowledge systems. Arkona 
designs distributed applications that extend a company's information system  
investments instead of replacing them.

ARKONA'S SOLUTIONS
------------------

Universal Update(TM)

The Universal Update client and server represent Arkona's core technology. 
These modules work as embedded components within specific vertical solutions. 
Arkona's customers and solution providers may choose to license the Universal 
Update technology for use in their own products, or can work with Arkona to 
build more specific vertical solutions.  

Arkona OnSite(TM) Field Service

Arkona OnSite Field Service is Arkona's first vertical solution, designed 
specifically for field service engineers. Arkona OnSite gives field service 
engineers access to critical customer, product, and inventory information even 
when disconnected at the customer's site. 

Arkona OnSite(TM) Publisher

Arkona OnSite Publisher is currently being designed in collaboration with an 
Arkona solution provider.  Arkona OnSite Publisher will allow large reference 
publishers to virtually eliminate production and distribution of CD ROM 
publications in favor of on-line distribution. Electronic titles will be 
synchronized automatically with publisher archives and placed directly into a 
subscribers own electronic library solution. The first implementation will be 
released to large legal publishers and law firms. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

Quarter Ended December 31, 1997

Revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 were $10,959, compared to $0 
for the comparable quarter in 1996.  Cost of revenues totaled $249,818 in the 
quarter ended December 31, 1997, compared to $26,402 in the quarter ended 
December 31, 1996.  The 1997 expenses included $55,062 in research and 
development expense compared to $5,716.  The increased expenses in 1997 
reflect the addition of personnel and costs associated with the merger of the 
Company with Arkona.  The Company had $11,344 in interest income during the 
quarter ended December 31, 1997 compared to $71 in the same period of 1996.  
The net loss for the quarter was $227,515 (or $.01 per share) compared to a 
loss $32,047 (or $.08 per share) in 1996. 

Following the successful completion of the merger management's focus for the 
third quarter was to ensure the recruitment of the core team necessary for the 
success of the Company.  Management believes it has made progress in securing 
key engineering talent in a very competitive and tight marketplace.  This will 
be an ongoing task in successive quarters.

Revenues for the quarter were primarily related to ongoing service contracts 
with existing customers and cost of sales reflects the costs associated with 
delivery of these services.  The Company is currently bidding for a number of 
projects utilizing its core technologies and expects to report successes in 
subsequent quarters.

Expenses for the quarter reflect the cost of people, engineering research and 
marketing and selling efforts, which will form the foundation of future 
increased revenue and profitability growth.

The Company's primary marketing focus for the quarter was to establish the 
Company's identity in the marketplace and to build a secure platform for 
future growth.

During the three months ended December 31, 1997, the Company completed a 
private placement of its Common Stock, generating gross proceeds of $2,000,000 
in cash and marketable securities.  The Company funded its operations during 
the period with the proceeds of this offering.  Capital spending of $113,267 
was primarily for computer and related equipment used in the Company's 
operations.  During the nine months ended December 31, 1997, the Company's 
operating activities used $141,778 of cash. 

Research and development expenditures totaled $55,062 during the three months 
ended December 31, 1997.  The Company expects that research and development 
expenditures will continue to increase during the next 12 months as 
development of existing and new products continues.  It is expected that new 
personnel in the research and development area will increase these expenses by 
approximately 5% in the fourth quarter. 

Nine Months Ended December 31, 1997 Compared With Nine Months Ended December 
31, 1996 

The Company had no revenues or business activity prior to the merger with 
Arkona.  Since the completion of the merger in October 1997, the primary focus 
of management was to recruit a core team of personnel for various aspects of 
the Company's business.  It is expected that additional employees will be 
needed to complete planned product development during the balance of calendar 
1998. 
   
During the nine months ended December 31, 1997, the Company had revenues of  
$135,958 compared to no revenues in the comparable nine-month period ended 
December 31, 1996.   All operating revenues for the period were generated from 
one customer of the Company.     

Research and development costs for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 
totaled $73,263, compared to $5,716 during the same period in 1996.  
Marketing, general and administrative expenses were $227,209 for the nine 
months ended December 31, 1997, compared to $26,458 for the nine months ended 
December 31, 1996.  All of these amounts relate to Arkona's activity to 
develop and market its software products. 

Interest income was $11,513 for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 and 
resulted from the investment of the Company's cash proceeds from the sale of 
its Common Stock. 

The net loss for the period totaled $153,852, compared to a net loss of 
$32,103 for the nine months ended December 31, 1996.  The net loss applicable 
to common shares was $.01 per share for the nine months ended December 31, 
1997 compared to $.08 per share in the same period one year ago. 
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------

At December 31, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,740,697, 
as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $11,614 as of March 31, 1997.  
Cash and cash equivalents include certificates of deposit held with First 
Security Bank, Salt Lake City, Utah, as a guarantee for payment of office rent 
and equipment leases. 

Management believes that the cash available to the Company from the recently 
completed private placement and cash provided by operations will be sufficient 
to meet the business requirements of the Company for the next twelve months.  
If the Company expands its efforts to develop new products, it may be required 
to seek additional funding through the sale of its securities or through 
borrowing. Presently the Company does not have an established bank line of 
credit or similar facility.
