                                EXPLANATORY NOTE

Until our acquisition of Dictaphone Corporation on May 5, 2000, we were a
foreign private issuer required to file annual reports on Form 20-F and interim
reports on Form 6-K with respect to our financial results and certain other
matters.  On November 1, 1999, we filed a Form 6-K/A/2 for our quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1999 (the "Prior Quarterly Report").  This quarterly
report on Form 10-Q is being filed voluntarily by us for the same periods as the
Prior Report to satisfy the filing requirements that would have been applicable
to us had we not been a foreign private issuer as of June 30, 1999.  Except for
the adjustment of all data relating to shares and per share amounts to reflect
our two-for-one stock split which was distributed on May 12, 2000, this report
speaks as of the date of the Prior Quarterly Report as if this report were filed
on that date.  Reference is made to our reports filed with the Securities an
Exchange Commission for subsequent periods, for updated information regarding
our business, results of operations and financial condition.

          On May 5, 1999 Intel Atlantic Inc. invested $30 million by subscribing
     to 895,932 automatically convertible shares.  Each share is convertible
     into one share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in certain
     circumstances.

(5)  CONTINGENCIES

     Class Action Lawsuits

         The Company is a named party in several class actions lawsuits which
     allege, in general, that the Company improperly accounted for write-offs of
     in-process research and development in connection with certain
     acquisitions. The lawsuits contend that the Company's actions violated
     Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "34
     Act") and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the '34 Act. Plaintiffs filed these
     lawsuits on behalf of all purchasers of the Company's common stock during
     varying periods which range from as early as April 28, 1997 through
     December 4, 1998. These plaintiffs seek: (1) unspecified compensatory
     damages; (2) attorneys' and experts' fees; and (3) other relief.

       The Company believes that the claims are groundless and is vigorously
     defending itself. Nevertheless, class action litigation can be expensive
     and time consuming. Although the Company cannot make any guarantees
     regarding the outcome of these actions, it believes that the outcome will
     not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
     condition or results of operations.

(8)  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

          In the first quarter of 1998, the American Institute of Certified
     Public Accountants issued Statement of Position No. 98-1, "Accounting for
     Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" (SOP 98-
     1), which requires that certain internal and external costs to develop or
     obtain software for internal use be expensed or capitalized when incurred.
     Generally, costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and post-
     implementation /operation stages must be expensed. SOP 98-1 is effective
     for fiscal years beginning after December15, 1998. The Company's adoption
     of SOP 98-1 , as of January 1,1999, is not expected to have a material
     impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

          In the first quarter of 1998, the American Institute of Certified
     Public Accountants issued Statement of Position No. 98-5, "Reporting on the
     Costs of Start-up Activities" (SOP 98-5), which requires that the cost of
     start-up activities be expensed as incurred. SOP 98-5 will amend provisions
     of a number of existing SOPs and audit and accounting guides. SOP 98-5 will
     be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. The
     Company's adoption of SOP 98-5 is not expected to have a material impact on
     its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

          During 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
     of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
     Instruments and Hedging Activities", which establishes accounting and
     reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities.
     This Statement will be effective for all quarters of fiscal years beginning
     after June 15, 2000. The Company has not yet determined the effect the
     Statement will have on its financial position or results of operations.

STRATEGIC OVERVIEW

     From 1994 through the middle of 1996, we were solely in the business of
developing and licensing core speech technologies.  Commencing in the second
half of 1996, we started to expand our business into applications and services.
These applications and services have grown to include dictation, machine and
human translation, including Internet/intranet translation, education, telephony
and embedded solutions, as well as consulting and localization services.  While
expanding into these applications and services, we have continued to strengthen
our technology leadership in core speech and language technologies.  As a
result, we believe that we offer the broadest portfolio of speech and language
technologies, including automatic speech recognition, text-to-speech, speech and
music compression, machine translation and linguistic components.  We further
believe that our introduction of breakthrough technologies, such as
RealSpeak(TM) for text-to-speech, will further strengthen our position in
technology licensing and telephony solutions.

     We have further enhanced our competitive position by developing speech and
language technologies and applications for a number of languages.  We have
traditionally developed these technologies and applications for twelve key
languages: American English; UK English; German; French; Italian; Spanish;
Portuguese; Dutch; Korean; Arabic; Chinese and Japanese.  We believe that there
may develop a significant demand for additional language versions of our
technologies and applications in response to many factors, including the
increasing use of speech as a user interface for computers, the growth of the
Internet and the potential demand of real-time translation, and the

                                       18
<PAGE>

globalization of telecommunication.  To address these large potential markets,
beginning in the second half of 1998, we have implemented a strategy to expand
the breadth of our speech and language technologies to include up to a total of
36 languages.  We have licensed our software development kits and tools to
strategic partners to develop additional language versions of our technologies
and applications.  These strategic partners generally take the financial risk
and share in the rewards for speech and language applications for these
additional languages.  Through June 30, 1999 we had entered into strategic
alliances for the development of Bahassa, Czech, Farsi, Greek, Hungarian,
Polish, other Slavic languages, Thai, Tamil, Hindu, Turkish, Vietnamese, Urdu,
Malay, Taiwanese, and Scandinavian languages.

     In 1997, we began licensing our software development kits and tools to
selected developers in various areas.  Since that time, we have refined and
enhanced our development kits and tools.  It is now our policy to expand our
licensing of these development kits and tools to strategic partners and
applications developers for the development and commercialization of speech and
language applications in a wide range of markets and languages.

     We also intend to focus on developing telephony applications and embedded
solutions for the wireless consumer and automotive electronics markets.  In
addition, we intend to develop and apply our technologies to deliver corporate
solutions for Internet and e-commerce companies, as well as intranet and
client/server environments.  We recently announced our intention to form a
development company with Intel to develop e-commerce and telephony solutions
based on our technologies.  This company, iSAILSolutions, was formed in July
1999.  We believe that this company will represent part of the foundation for
our focus in these areas.

     In connection with our expansion of our business into speech and language
applications, we have successfully entered the dictation, machine translation
and education markets.  Our award winning Voice Xpress products have facilitated
our entry into the retail computer application market.  We have also expanded
our reach into the medical dictation market.  We intend to leverage our position
in this market where we believe the estimated $6 billion transcription market,
as well as the medical record market, represent a large potential area of growth
for us.  Our pending acquisition of the Articulate Systems division of Fonix
Corporation is targeted at this market.  We believe that Articulate's technology
together with our medical solutions will enable us to offer compelling solutions
for the medical dictation market to reduce the cost of transcription and
integrating transcribed information with medical record charts.  We have also
introduced end-user applications for the educational and machine translation
markets, as well as vertical dictation markets such as legal and law
enforcement.

     We have traditionally provided our translation and localization services to
large corporations in the information technology, telephony, automotive and
aerospace markets.  These projects are often multi-million dollar, long-term
projects.  We have recently introduced our Internet Translation service, which
we believe will enable us to further expand our existing translation services
business.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

  In 1998 we operated and reported our revenues and associated costs in four
divisions: core speech technologies; dictation technologies; language
technologies; and translation services.  In January 1999, we reorganized our
business into three customer-focused divisions:  Speech and language
technologies and solutions; speech and language applications; and speech and
language consulting and services.

  Our speech and language technologies and solutions division focuses on
licensing our core speech and language technologies and development tools for
those technologies. We derive our speech and language technologies and solutions
revenue primarily from the licensing of these technologies and tools to
applications developers, strategic partners, original equipment manufacturers,
component manufacturers and software vendors, that incorporate our technologies
in their products or products under development.  Payments under our license
agreements include nonrefundable, up-front license fees, including up-front
minimum royalties, ongoing license fees, engineering fees or any combination of
these payments.  Nonrefundable up-front license fees are often based upon a
percentage of projected sales volume over the term of the license agreement and
have represented a majority of our core technologies and solutions revenue.  We
also received nonrefundable up-front license fees in connection with the license
of our development tools to strategic partners to develop additional language
versions of our core speech technology products.  Ongoing license fees are based
upon sales of products incorporating our technologies.  Due to licenses to
customers that ultimately sell products incorporating our technologies to end-
users through retail channels, we anticipate that future revenues from our
speech and language technologies and solutions division will be seasonal, with
higher revenues in the third and fourth quarters.

  Our speech and language applications division offers a wide range of end-user
applications, including dictation software that enables users to dictate text
and generate documents by speaking naturally without pausing between words, PC
and Internet-based translation software and educational software.  Markets
addressed by these applications include healthcare, legal, public safety and
general personal computer markets.  We generally license these products through
retail channels, directly to hospitals and large institutions, and through value
added resellers. Our speech and language applications revenue also includes
nonrefundable up-front license fees received from strategic partners in
connection with the license of our development tools to develop additional
language versions of our applications products. We anticipate that revenue from
sales of speech and language applications to the general personal computer
market will be seasonal, with higher revenue in the third and fourth quarters.

  Our speech and language consulting and services division provides a wide range
of linguistic services, which included document translation and software
localization services, including our recently introduced Internet/intranet based
machine translation services.  We provide our linguistic services in various
languages to a wide range of customers, with an emphasis on the computer and
consumer product industries. As a result, these revenues tend to be somewhat
seasonal, with lower revenues in the first and second quarters.

                                       20
<PAGE>

  Our business is conducted worldwide, primarily in Western Europe, the United
States and Asia.  Our revenues, other than translation services revenue, are
primarily denominated in U.S. dollars.  Translation services revenue is
primarily denominated in local currencies.  We incur expenses primarily in
Belgian francs and U.S. dollars, as well as in a number of other currencies.
Our business will be subject to risks of currency fluctuations as well as other
risks generally associated with international sales. The average exchange rates
used for converting Belgian francs to U.S. dollars for our results of operations
were 37.30 and 37.12 Belgian francs per U.S. dollar for the first six months of
1998 and 1999, respectively.

  Revenues.   Total revenues increased 69% to approximately $76.0 million in the
second quarter of 1999 from approximately $45.0 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 1998.  For the first six months of 1999, total revenues increased 83% to
approximately $146.7 million from approximately $80.0 million in the first six
months of 1998. These increases were attributable to increases in revenues of
all of our divisions.

     Speech and language technologies and solutions revenue increased by 31% to
approximately $26.5 million in the second quarter of 1999 from approximately
$20.3 million in the second quarter of 1998. In the first six months of 1999,
this revenue increased by 44% to approximately $51.2 million from approximately
$35.6 million in the first six months of 1998. The increases were primarily
attributable to the addition of revenue associated with the license of our
development tools and an increase in license revenues associated with the
telecom market. In the second quarter and first six months of 1999, our
technologies and solutions revenue included approximately $8.0 million and $14.0
million, respectively, in nonrefundable up-front license fees from strategic
partners in connection with the license of our development tools to develop
additional language versions of our core speech and language technologies. These
increases were partially offset by the elimination of engineering revenue
associated with the Brussels Translation Group project. In the second quarter
and first six months of 1998, we had approximately $2.3 million and $4.5
million, respectively, of engineering revenue from the Brussels Translation
Group, compared to only $1.0 million of such revenue in the first quarter of
1999.

     Speech and language applications revenue increased by 155% to approximately
$29.0 million in the second quarter of 1999 from approximately $11.4 million in
the second quarter of 1998. In the first six months of 1999, this revenue
increased by 167% to approximately $51.5 million from approximately $19.3
million in the first six months of 1998.  These increases were primarily
attributable to an increase in product revenue in both the industry solutions
and retail channels, as well as the addition of revenue associated with the
license of our development tools.  In the second quarter and first six months of
1999, our applications revenue included approximately $8.0 million and $14.0
million, respectively, in nonrefundable up-front license fees from strategic
partners in connection with the license of our development tools to develop
additional language versions of our applications products.  These increases were
partially offset by the elimination of engineering revenue associated with the
Brussels Translation Group project that was completed in the first quarter of
this year. In the second quarter and first six months of 1998, we had
approximately $2.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively, of engineering
revenue from the Brussels Translation Group, compared to only $1.0 million of
such revenue in the first quarter of 1999.

     Speech and language consulting and services revenue increased by 54% to
approximately $20.5 million in second quarter of 1999 from approximately $13.3
million in the second quarter of 1998. In the first six months of 1999, this
revenue increased by 74% to approximately $44.0 million from approximately $25.2
million in the first six months of 1998. These increases were primarily
attributable to our acquisition of additional translation services businesses as
well as internal growth.  In the second quarter and first six months of 1999,
revenues from Microsoft and its affiliates constituted 9.9% and 10.5%,
respectively, of our translation services revenue.  Revenues in this division
had decreased 12%, or approximately $2.9 million in the second quarter of 1999
compared to the first quarter of the year.  We attribute this decrease to a
delay in receiving major translation

                                       22
<PAGE>

and localization projects from some of our larger customers and to the
seasonality of this business. We expect revenues in this division to increase in
the third quarter of 1999 as a result of major translation and localization
contracts entered into in the beginning of that quarter.

     Cost of Revenues.  Total cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues
decreased to 25% in the second quarter of 1999 from 34% in the second quarter of
1998, and to 27% in the first six months of 1999 from 33% in the first six
months of 1998.  These increases were primarily attributable to an improvement
in margins of both our technologies and solutions, and applications divisions.

     Costs of speech and language technologies and solutions revenue as a
percentage of such revenue decreased to 10% in the second quarter and first six
months of 1999 from 14% in the second quarter of 1998 and 15% in the first six
months of 1998.  Our improvement in margins was primarily attributable to a more
favorable mix of sales of products and technologies with relatively lower costs
of sales in 1999 compared to 1998.

     Costs of speech and language applications revenue as a percentage of such
revenue decreased to 16% in the second quarter of 1999 from 40% in the second
quarter of 1998 and to 17% in the first six months of 1999 compared to 37% in
the first six months of 1998.  This improvement was primarily attributable to
the effect of price reductions and rebate programs for older versions of our
dictation and other applications products in 1998 upon our introduction of new
products and product enhancements and in response to competition, and to the
increased percentage of license revenue which provides us with high gross
margins.

     Cost of consulting and services revenue as a percentage of such revenues
remained substantially unchanged at 58% in the second quarters of 1999 and 1998
and 59% in the first six months of those years.

     General and Administrative Expense.  General and administrative expense
increased 55% to approximately $8.0 million, 10% of total revenues, in the
second quarter of 1999 from approximately $5.1 million, 11% of total revenues,
in the second quarter of 1998.  In the first six months of 1999, general and
administrative expense increased 63% to approximately $16.3 million, 11% of
total revenues, from approximately $10.0 million, 12% of total revenues, in the
first six months of 1998.  The increase in general and administrative expense
was primarily attributable to inclusion of general and administrative expenses
for our acquired businesses for the periods after their acquisition, to
increased personnel and related costs to support our revenue growth.  The
increase was also attributable to non-recurring legal and accounting expenses
incurred in connection with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission review of
our registration statements and associated filings.  This review was completed
in April 1999.

     Marketing and Sales Expense.  Marketing and sales expense increased 99% to
approximately $14.9 million, 20% of total revenues, in the second quarter of
1999 compared to approximately $7.5 million, 17% of total revenues, in the
second quarter of 1998. In the first six months of 1999, marketing and sales
expense increased 124% to approximately $27.9 million, 19% of total revenues,
from approximately $12.5 million, 16% of total revenue, in the first six months
of 1998.  The

                                       23
<PAGE>

increase in marketing and sales expense was primarily attributable to increased
sales as well as our increased marketing efforts relating to our introduction
and building brand awareness for our dictation and other products in the retail
channel.

     Research and Development Expense.  Research and development expense
increased 112% to approximately $10.8 million, 14% of total revenues, in the
second quarter of 1999 from approximately $5.1 million, 11% of total revenues,
in the second quarter of 1998.  In the first six months of 1999, research and
development expense increased 109% to approximately $20.6 million, 14% of total
revenues, from approximately $9.9 million, 12% of total revenues, in the first
six months of 1998.  This increase was primarily attributable to inclusion of
research and development expenses for our acquired businesses for the periods
after their acquisition, increased staffing and reallocation of personnel to
research and development.

     Amortization and Write-off of Goodwill.  Our amortization of goodwill
increased 129% to approximately $7.2 million, 10% of total revenues, in the
second quarter of 1999, from approximately $3.2 million, 7% of total revenues,
in the second quarter of 1998. In the first six months of 1999, our amortization
of goodwill, exclusive of write-offs, increased 165% to approximately $14.4
million, 10% of total revenues from approximately $5.4 million, 7% of total
revenues, in the first six months of 1998.  In addition, during the first
quarter of 1998, we wrote-off $3.7 million of goodwill associated with our
acquisition of Berkeley Speech Technologies, Inc. and BeSTspeech Products, Inc.
At the end of the second quarter of 1999, we acquired Brussels Translation Group
for a total purchase price of approximately $42.3, of which approximately $62.1
million has been allocated to goodwill.

     Write-off of In-process Research and Development.  In the first six months
of 1999 we recorded no charges for the write-off of in-process research and
development.  This compares to approximately $34.4 million of such write-offs in
the first six months of 1998.  These charges were incurred primarily in
connection with our acquisitions of Applications Technology, Inc., the
linguistic components division of Inso Corporation, and Dictation Consortium
N.V.

     Other Income/Expense.  Our other income/expense includes interest income
and expense, bank charges, realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and
losses, our share in loss of unconsolidated affiliates and debt conversion
expense. We recognized net other income of approximately $8.3 million in the
first six months of 1999, compared to net other income of approximately $3.1
million in the comparable period in 1998.  This increase was primarily a result
of increased net interest income attributable to our increased cash and
investment balances, and to an increase in our foreign exchange gains. Our
foreign exchange gains and losses have been primarily attributable to unrealized
exchange gains resulting from the increase and decrease in the value of the U.S.
dollar in relation to the Belgian franc and other functional currencies of our
non-U.S. subsidiaries, principally the Korean won and euro, as well as the
increase and decrease in our dollar denominated assets.  A significant portion
of our cash and short-term investments is denominated in U.S. dollars.  Because
our functional currency for our non-U.S. operations is their local currency, we
are required to recognize unrealized foreign exchange gains with respect to our
U.S. dollar denominated assets of these operations when the value of the U.S.
dollar increases in relation to their functional currency and unrealized foreign
exchange losses when the relative value

                                       24
<PAGE>

of the U.S. dollar decreases. Our net foreign exchange gains were $4.5 million
in the first six months of 1999.

     Minority Interest.  Our minority interest expense net of tax benefit
relates to our share of the distribution obligations under the $156.0 million of
preferred income equity redeemable trust securities we issued in May 1998.  Our
minority interest expense increased to $1.1 million and $2.3 million in the
second quarter and first six months of 1999, respectively, compared to $0.7
million in the comparable periods in 1998.

     Provision for Income Taxes.   In the second quarter and the first six
months of 1999 we recognized an income tax expense of approximately $6.7 million
and 11.9 million, respectively, compared to approximately $545,000 and $888,000
in the comparable periods in 1998.  The increase in our provision for income
taxes reflects the depletion of the tax loss carry-forwards of our Belgian
parent company, as well as tax charges for acquired businesses outside of
Belgium.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At June 30, 1999, we had working capital of approximately $184.9 million,
including approximately $153.2 million in cash and marketable securities.

     In the first six months of 1999, our operating activities provided
approximately $23.8 million of cash.  Our net income of approximately $20.7
million included non-cash expenses of approximately $14.4 million of
amortization of goodwill, $2.3 million of amortization of software development
costs, $3.0 million of depreciation.  An increase in accrued expenses net of
accounts payable also provided $1.7 million of cash.  Our uses of cash included
an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $16.7 million and an
increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of approximately $1.8
million.  The increase in accounts receivable was primarily attributable to our
increased revenues.  Our sales days outstanding of our accounts receivable
decreased to 103 at June 30, 1999 from 112 at March 31, 1999.

     In the first six months of 1999, our investing activities used
approximately $66.9 million of cash, including approximately $48.2 million for
acquisitions, approximately $7.0 million for the acquisition of licenses and
software development costs capitalized, approximately $4.0 million in additions
to property and equipment, and approximately $8.6 million of investments in
associated companies.  In May 1999, we entered into an agreement to purchase the
assets of the Articulate Systems Division of Fonix Corporation.  The agreement,
which is subject to customary conditions to closing, including the approval of
Fonix stockholders, will require us to pay Fonix a purchase price of
approximately $24.0 of cash at closing.  We will also be required to pay Fonix
up to a maximum of $4.0 million following the closing if financial performance
targets are reached during a two year period following the acquisition.     In
June 1999, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Brussels Translation
for aggregate consideration consisting of approximately $42.3 million in cash
and the assumption of approximately $17.0 million in debt.  We expect to
continue to seek acquisition candidates in our targeted markets. We also expect
to continue to incur capital expenditures to support our anticipated growth.

                                       25
<PAGE>

     In the first six months of 1999, our financing activities provided us
approximately $19.3 million of cash, primarily attributable to approximately
$52.4 million from the sale of common stock, including $15.0 million from the
investment by Microsoft and approximately $28.0 million from the investment by
Intel.  These sources of cash were partially offset by a total of approximately
$26.9 million in repayment of our long term debt and capital lease obligations.

     We are a defendant in several class action lawsuits that allege, in
general, that we improperly accounted for write-offs of acquired in-process
research and development.  The plaintiffs filed these lawsuits on behalf of all
purchasers of our common stock during varying period which range from as early
as April 1997 through December 4, 1998.  These plaintiffs seek unspecified
compensatory damages, attorneys' and experts' fees and other relief.  We believe
that the claims are groundless and are vigorously defending ourselves.
Nevertheless, class action litigation can be expensive and time consuming.
Although we cannot make any guarantees regarding the outcome of these actions,
we believe that the outcome will not have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition or results of operations.

     We believe that our existing resources, including our bank lines of credit,
and the anticipated cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to fund
our planned operations for at least the next 12 months.  However, we may seek
additional sources of cash during the year to increase our financial flexibility
or to fund acquisitions.  The sufficiency of our resources to fund working
capital needs is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors which may materially harm our business, including without limitation the
risk factors referred to above.


YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

     The year 2000 problem is the potential for system and processing failure of
date-related data as the result of computer-controlled systems using two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year.  This could result in system
failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including loss of
customers or orders, increased operating costs, disruptions in product
shipments, or other business interruptions of a material nature, as well as
claims of mismanagement, misrepresentations, or breach of contract.  Undetected
year 2000 problems may cause us to experience negative consequences and
significant costs. Our vendors, suppliers and customers could also experience
negative consequences and significant costs that could materially harm our
business.

     We may be affected by year 2000 issues related to non-compliant information
technology systems or non-information technology systems we use internally.  The
computer software and hardware we operate represent the primary internal
elements subject to year 2000 risk.  Computer software and hardware include
networking, operating and applications software that we currently use, as well
as those that we plan to install prior to the year 2000, and the hardware
platforms upon which the operating and software applications operate.  Other
internal elements subject to risk include fax machines, security systems,
heating and air conditioning systems, telephone and other telecommunications
systems, copiers and sprinklers.

                                       26
<PAGE>

     We have substantially completed our assessment of the systems and products
we sell to customers.  We are not currently aware of any year 2000 problems
relating to systems or products we sell that would materially harm our business.
However, we cannot assure that we will not in the future identify material
noncompliant systems.  Furthermore, if we do identify any material noncompliant
systems, we cannot assure that the steps that we take will be sufficient to make
such systems compliant.  We have discovered an instance of a noncompliant
product based on Microsoft's DOS operating system.  We have notified customers
that use this product of the potential problem and have proposed a solution.  We
do not believe that this problem will materially harm our business.

     We believe that we have taken reasonable steps to confirm that all third
party equipment and software we incorporate into our products and software is
year 2000 compliant.  These steps include verbal and written confirmation with
the relevant third parties and, in some cases, internal testing of software or
products.  However, we cannot assure that we will identify material noncompliant
systems operated by third parties.  Furthermore, if we do identify any such
material noncompliant systems, we cannot assure that the steps, if any, that
such third parties take will be sufficient to make such systems compliant.

     Our products and software are often sold to be integrated into or interface
with third party products or software.  We have not taken, and do not plan to
take, steps to contact customers or other third parties into whose products our
products and software may be integrated or interfaced regarding year 2000
issues.  We depend upon the success of our customers to develop and market
products incorporating our technology for a significant portion of our revenue.
Accordingly, failures by our customers to operate properly with regard to year
2000 issues or to adequately address year 2000 issues could materially harm our
business.

     Even if third parties such as our suppliers, service providers and
customers are year 2000 compliant, they could experience difficulties resulting
from year 2000 issues affecting other third parties with whom they do business.
Because the cost and timing of year 2000 compliance by third parties is not
within our control, we cannot give any assurance with respect to such efforts or
any potential adverse effects to us of any failure by third parties to achieve
year 2000 compliance.  As a result, although we do not currently anticipate that
we will experience any material shipment delays from our material product
suppliers or any material sales delays from our major customers due to year 2000
issues, such third parties may directly or indirectly experience year 2000
problems.  Any such problems may materially harm our business.

     As we can give no assurance as to the readiness or compliance of third
parties with respect to the year 2000, we have established a team of individuals
to be on call during the beginning of January 2000 to respond quickly should any
unanticipated year 2000 problems arise.  We cannot assure that this team will be
able to respond effectively.

     We have not incurred in the past, and do not expect to incur in the future,
material expenses in connection with the year 2000 issue.  We may, however, be
incorrect in our assessment of the year 2000 impact upon our business.  In the
case of an incorrect assessment, we may incur material expenses in connection
with the year 2000 issue in the future.

                                       27
<PAGE>

     To the extent that we fail to identify material noncompliant information
technology systems or non-information technology systems that we operate or that
third parties operate, the most reasonably likely worst case year 2000 scenario
is a systemic failure beyond our control.  A systemic failure could take the
form of a prolonged telecommunications or electrical failure, or a general
disruption in global business activities.

     We believe that the primary business risks, in the event of such failure or
other disruption, would include, but not be limited to:

 .  loss of customers or orders;
 .  increased operating costs;
 .  disruptions in product shipments; and
 .  other business interruptions of a material nature such as claims of
   mismanagement, misrepresentation, or breach of contract.

     Any of these business risks could materially harm our business.


ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
         ----------------------------------------------------------

   The principal market risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising from adverse
changes in market rates and prices) to which we are exposed are:

 .  interest rates on debt; and
 .  foreign exchange rates.

     The following risk management discussion and the estimated amounts
generated from the analytical techniques are forward-looking statements of
market risk assuming certain market conditions occur.  Actual results in the
future may differ materially from these projected results due to actual
developments in the global financial markets.  The analysis methods that we use
to assess and mitigate the risks discussed above should not be considered
projections of future events or losses.

INTEREST RATES

  We centrally manage our debt and overall financing strategies using a
combination of short-term and long-term debt with either fixed or variable
interest rates.  We generally do not hedge our exposure to interest rate
fluctuations through the use of derivative instruments.

  Certain financial instruments used to obtain capital are subject to market
risks from fluctuations in interest rates. As of June 1999, the Company has
approximately $20.4 million in fixed rate debt.

                                       28

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

  Operating in international markets involves exposure to movements in currency
exchange rates.  Currency exchange rate movements typically affect economic
growth, inflation, interest rates, governmental actions and other factors.

     Changes in currency exchange rates that would have the largest impact on
translating our non-U.S. dollar operating profit include the Belgian franc,
the British pound and the German mark. The currency exchange rates to the U.S.
dollar at December 31,1998 and June 30,1999, respectively, are as follows:

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

       In June 1999, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Brussels
       Translation Group N.V. ("BTG") for an aggregate purchase price of
       approximately $42.3 million and the assumption of approximately $17.0
       million in debt. The Company paid $41.5 million of the purchase price for
       BTG in cash from our working capital.  The consideration for this
       acquisition was determined through arms' length negotiation.

       In March, 1997, the Company entered into a software development and
       commercialization agreement with BTG (the "BTG Agreement") in which the
       Company agreed to provide engineering services for the development of
       BTG's Machine Translation Software.  The Company completed the work under
       the BTG Agreement in early 1999.  In addition, during 1998 and the six
       months ended June 30, 1999, BTG paid the Company $18.0 million and $2.0
       million respectively, for engineering work performed under the BTG
       Agreement.  Beyond these relationships, prior to the transaction
       described above, neither BTG nor the stockholders of BTG had any material
       relationship with the Company or any of its affiliates, directors or
       officers or any associate of any such director or officer.

       BTG, a private organization, is predominantly dedicated to the
       development of our iTranslator services. This development was primarily
       facilitated through the BTG Agreement. The Company intends to continue
       the business of BTG.
