           INTERNATIONAL MICROCOMPUTER SOFTWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from
the records of International Microcomputer Software, Inc. and Subsidiaries
("IMSI" or the "Company") without audit. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to
present fairly the financial position at December 31, 2000 and the results of
operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended December 31, 2000
and 1999, have been made. The interim condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto contained in IMSI's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. The results of operations for the three and
six months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

     2. REALIZATION OF ASSETS

The financial statements have been prepared on a basis that contemplates IMSI's
continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and liquidation of
liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has an accumulated
deficit of $44,125,000 and negative working capital of $19,311,000 at December
31, 2000. In January 2000, IMSI ceased interest and principal payments on all
borrowings, debt or other interest bearing obligations, with the exception of
monthly interest payments to Union Bank of California on the non-revolving
reducing loan. Accordingly, the Company is in default of various covenants of
these agreements. Since February 18, 2000, the Company has operated under a
standstill agreement with its creditors that continues on a month-to-month basis
so long as IMSI demonstrates progress in achieving a debt settlement acceptable
to the creditors. During the quarter ended December 31, 2000, IMSI presented a
plan to its banks and creditors committee for paying off its obligations, which
was subsequently accepted contingent on an agreed-upon amount of capital
infusion from an outside investor. There can be no assurance that IMSI will be
successful in attaining funding. The uncertainty regarding the outcome of these
matters raise substantial doubt about IMSI's ability to remain a going concern
for a reasonable period of time. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of assets or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

In June 1999 IMSI announced a restructuring plan that was intended to end the
large losses and restore profitable operations. This plan included the
outsourcing of operations, consolidation of facilities, reduction of personnel
and the divestiture of non-core products. In January 2000, IMSI announced it was
taking more drastic actions to resolve the Company's very serious financial
problems. During fiscal 2000, IMSI accomplished the announced changes to reduce
costs. The Company was successful in selling products from non-core product
lines to generate cash. In August 1999, IMSI sold the rights to the Easy
Language product line for $1,700,000, and, in March 2000, the Company sold the
rights to People Scheduler for $55,000. In March 2000, IMSI executed
republishing agreements with firms in Europe and the United States to
manufacture and sell IMSI products. As part of these agreements, IMSI received
$300,000 in guarantees, which the Company will recognize over the term of the
agreements. All of these efforts stabilized the Company's situation and resulted
in a cash balance of $1,796,000 at December 31, 2000.


                                       6

Management believes that the achievements of the last year and the resulting
cash balance have provided a strong foundation to maintain operations provided
the creditors continue to standstill. In order to achieve sales growth, IMSI has
reinvigorated its direct marketing activities. Key to the success of this
strategy is the return to IMSI in November 2000 of Robert Mayer, who had
formerly spearheaded the Company's direct marketing efforts until his change to
part-time status in March 2000. In addition to its focus on direct marketing,
IMSI continues to fine-tune and develop Internet marketing strategies to
effectively reach the precision design community. From October through December
2000, IMSI redesigned and updated TurboCAD.com and FloorPlan.com, the websites
for its two leading design software titles.

Revitalization of the Company's core business was boosted by the release of
TurboCAD Version 7 in November 2000. IMSI increased the sales price of the pro
version of its precision design software upon re-evaluation of the current
market, based on factors including performance benchmarks, intensity of product
technology, and pricing structure of competitive products. This increase in
price was met by positive market response, as the new version of TurboCAD
provided over $500,000 of sales revenue, or approximately 15% of consolidated
net revenue, in the quarter ended December 31, 2000.

The development of IMSI's Internet design division, Design.net, is planned to
become an important factor in providing online design services to consumers.
This division, when introduced to the public, will position the Company to meet
the future expectations of the marketplace and capitalize on the related revenue
opportunities. During the quarter ended December 31, 2000, IMSI invested
additional resources in Design.net and anticipates the introduction of consumers
and businesses to this powerful online design and visualization tool in the next
nine months. Design.net will reinforce the Company's core product line,
generating interest and extending additional precision design resources to
consumers. Conversely, it is hoped that the Company's continuing sales of
traditional retail software will provide name recognition and drive traffic to
the Design.net website.

Management believes the combination of the last 12 months' actions and
initiatives is returning IMSI to profitability. However, IMSI acknowledges that
it is very unlikely that the Company can internally generate sufficient funds to
resolve its debt obligations in the foreseeable future. The Company's creditors
have stated that they will not extend the standstill period indefinitely, and
that IMSI must make every effort to resolve the situation.

Therefore, IMSI's continuation as a going concern through the end of fiscal 2001
depends upon the continued forbearance of the creditors or the Company's ability
to obtain adequate funds to settle the debt. In August 2000, IMSI received a
proposal from independent investors that included the possible purchase of a
majority percentage of IMSI stock conditioned upon an agreement by the Company's
creditors to settle all debt at a discount. This proposal resulted in the
aforementioned debt settlement plan accepted by the creditors committee. The
proposal remains active, but has not been finalized pending an agreed-upon level
of capital being raised. In addition to this proposal, IMSI has generated other
interest in the investment community, and continues to vigorously pursue viable
opportunities. The Company hopes to attract some kind of investment in the
Company in fiscal year 2001 due to its continued strengthening of core business
operations, improvements in cash flows, positive market responses to its product
developments and cutting-edge developments in online design.

     3. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized when earned and the Company applies American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, Software
Revenue Recognition, and SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, With Respect to
Certain Transactions. Revenue from packaged product sales to distributors,
resellers and end users is recorded when related products are shipped. For
software delivered via the Internet, revenue is recorded when the customer
downloads the software. Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the
contract period, generally 12 months. Revenue from hybrid products is allocated
to the underlying components based on the ratio of the value of each component
to the total price and each portion is recognized accordingly. Non-refundable
advanced payments received under license agreements are recognized as revenue
when the customer accepts the delivered software. Revenue from software licensed
to developers, including royalties earned in excess of non-refundable advanced
payments, is recorded as the developers ship products containing the licensed
software. Revenue from minimum guaranteed royalties in republishing agreements
is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. Royalties in excess of the
guaranteed minimums are recognized when collected. Costs related to
post-contract customer support, which are minimal and include limited telephone
support and online maintenance for certain products, are accrued. Sales to
distributors permit limited rights of return upon termination or when a product
is defective. Reserves for returns, price discounts and rebates are estimated
using historical averages and a consideration of open return requests, channel
inventories, recent product sell-through activity and market conditions.

     4. INVENTORIES

Inventories, consisting primarily of CD-ROMs, manuals, hardware, freight in,
production costs and packing supplies, are valued at the lower of cost or market
and are accounted for on the first-in, first-out basis. Management performs
periodic assessments to determine the existence of obsolete, slow moving and
non-salable inventories, and records necessary provisions to reduce such
inventories to net realizable value. Inventories consist of:

     8.   CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

In the second quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-27 ("EITF 00-27") "Application of EITF Issue
98-5, `Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or
Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios,' to Certain Convertible
Instruments."" EITF 00-27 is effective for transactions with a commitment date
of November 16, 2000 forward, except for the provisions relative to embedded
conversion features of certain instruments that are effective for any such
instruments issued since May 20, 1999. EITF 00-27 requires companies to measure
a convertible instruments beneficial conversion feature using an effective
conversion price. Consequently, the conversion option embedded in a convertible
instrument issued with a detachable instrument, such as a warrant, may have
intrinsic value even if the conversion option is at-the-money or out-of-money at
the commitment date. In May 1999, IMSI issued a convertible debt instrument to
BayStar Capital that included an embedded beneficial conversion feature as
calculated under EITF 00-27. The result if applying EITF 00-27 to this
instrument resulted in the reporting of a cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle in the amount of $285,000 in the quarter ended December 31,
2000.

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

The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto and in conjunction with Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in
IMSI's Fiscal 2000 Form 10-K. This quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and in
particular this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations," may contain forward-looking statements regarding future
events or the future performance of IMSI that involve certain risks and
uncertainties including those discussed in the "Other Factors That May Affect
Future Operating Results" section of this Form 10-Q, as well as in IMSI's Fiscal
2000 Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Actual events or the actual future results of IMSI may differ materially from
any forward-looking statements due to such risks and uncertainties. IMSI assumes
no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect actual
results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting such forward-looking
statements. This analysis is not intended to serve as a basis for projection of
future events

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

IMSI reported a loss from continuing operations of $514,000 or ($0.05) per share
for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 and a loss from continuing operations of
$1,006,000 or ($0.10) for the six

months ended December 31, 2000. This compares to a net loss of $9,229,000 or
($1.30) per share for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 and a net loss of
$11,082,000 or ($1.57) per share for the six months ended December 31, 1999. The
Company reported an operating profit of $21,000 and an operating loss of $19,000
for the three and six months ended December 31, 2000, respectively. This
compares to an operating loss of $5,069,000 and $7,883,000 for the three and six
months ended December 31, 1999.

     NET REVENUES

Net revenues for the three-month and six month periods ended December 31, 2000
were $3,234,000 and $6,292,000, respectively. This compares to net revenues of
$6,282,000 and $11,916,000 for the same periods in the previous fiscal year.
This change represents a decrease in net revenues of 49 % and 47 % for the three
and six month periods, respectively.

The following table summarizes product revenues in absolute dollars and as a
percentage of total net revenues for each of IMSI's principal product categories
for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Product category revenues are shown gross of sales reserves recorded in the
respective periods for returns, price discounts and rebates. Sales reserves are
based on estimates of future activity and by their nature are subject to certain
risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially
from estimates.

Revenues in the precision design category decreased by $969,000, or 42%, to
$1,346,000 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2000, compared to the
same period in fiscal year 2000. For the six-month period ended December 31,
2000, precision design sales declined by $1,822,000, or 44%, to $2,288,000
compared to the same period in fiscal year 2000. The decline in revenues during
this period is primarily due to a decrease in TurboCAD and FloorPlan sales,
resulting from a shift in marketing from the conventional channel to
republishers and direct marketing. The decrease in FloorPlan sales is also
attributed to its product release cycle. The next scheduled release is planned
for the third fiscal 2001 quarter.

Precision design category revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 were
$1,346,000, an increase of $404,000 over the prior quarter ended September 30,
2000. TurboCAD version 7.0, released in November 2000 and directly marketed to
existing users, contributed more than $500,000 to the total sales in the
precision design category for the six months ended December 31, 2000. The


                                       11
<PAGE>   12
revenue increases realized by this release were offset by declining revenues
from both the sales of FloorPlan and prior versions of TurboCAD. In future
periods, it is expected that the new version of TurboCAD will contribute an
increasing amount to the precision design category, as it will be made available
to the retail market through republishers.

For the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2000, revenue in the
graphic design category decreased by $962,000 or 48% and $1,958,000 or 43%
respectively from the comparable periods in fiscal year 2000. The decline in
this category is due to decreased revenues from IMSI's primary product within
this category, MasterClips resulting from the shift to the use of licensing
agreements instead of the traditional sale channels.

On January 14, 2000, an arbitration ruling against IMSI pertaining to a dispute
with Imageline, Inc required IMSI to discontinue manufacturing and distributing
all Masterclips products containing Imageline, Inc images. This arbitration
ruling, combined with a continuing increase in competitive product offerings and
discount pricing in the visual content market, contributed to the falloff in
MasterClips sales. Revenues from IMSI's wholly owned subsidiary, ArtToday.com
are included in this category. Because ArtToday.com's revenues are based on
subscriptions, these amounts are initially deferred and then amortized over the
subscription period, generally over 12 months. ArtToday.com contributed to sales
with $722,000 in net revenue during the quarter ended December 31, 2000 and
$1,531,000 over the six-month period ended December 31, 2000 as compared to
$722,000 and $1,307,000 during the same periods of the previous fiscal year.

Revenues in the business applications category decreased by $1,231,000 or 69%
and by $2,958,000 or 78% in the three-month and six-month periods ended December
31, 2000 as compared to the same periods in fiscal year 2000. Sales of Flow!,
FormTool, Maplinx, MasterPublisher, OrgPlus, Hijaak and TurboProject contribute
to this category. Revenues from the sale of these products all declined as
compared to the same period in fiscal year 2000. This decrease in revenues from
sales in the business applications category reflects the Company's strategy to
focus on its core products in the precision design and graphic design categories
and on its Internet business. Under IMSI's restructuring plan, the Company is no
longer focusing its marketing efforts on non-core products of which this
category is primarily composed.

For the three month period ended December 31, 2000, revenues in the utilities
category decreased by $1,192,000 or 82% as compared to the same period in fiscal
2000. For the six-month period ended December 31, 2000, revenues in this
category decreased by $1,624,000 or 65% when compared to the same period ended
December 31, 1999. Revenues for the quarter ending December 31, 1999 included
sales of substantial amounts of IMSI's UpdateNow and Year2000Now software
products sold through one customer, America Online. Revenues from these products
were absent during the comparable period of the current fiscal year due to their
inherent nature being Y2K issue related. Within this category, sales of CD
Copier, WinDelete and NetAccelerator all declined for the period ended December
31, 2000 as compared to the same period during the prior fiscal year. This
decrease in sales is consistent with IMSI's strategy to focus on its core
products.

Revenues in the other category decreased by $360,000, or 90% and by $834,000 or
93% respectively for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31,
2000 as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2000. The decrease in
revenues was consistent with the Company's overall decrease in sales.

IMSI's financial problems and the Company's major change in strategy were the
primary causes of the decreased revenues for the three-month and the six-month
periods ended December 31, 2000 as compared to the same periods of the previous
fiscal year. IMSI originally announced major changes


                                       12
<PAGE>   13
in its strategy in January 2000: it decided to exit the retail software
business, liquidate the Company's European and South African subsidiaries, and
consolidate domestic operations to reduce operating losses and focus on its
Internet strategy. IMSI terminated all existing distributor agreements and
immediately ceased to support the retail business. As a result, sales of all
products decreased dramatically.

In February 2000, IMSI obtained a new management team that revised the original
strategy and decided to restore sales through the retail channel by establishing
republishing agreements for the Company's core products. By the end of fiscal
year 2000, IMSI had executed several republishing agreements; however, normal
start-up problems limited the revenues from these new agreements.

The continuing trend of intense price competition also adversely affected sales
in most product categories. This trend had particular impact in
consumer-oriented software products such as FloorPlan and the Utilities
products.

In addition, revenues declined as a result of IMSI's decision not to upgrade or
support many of its non-core consumer products. Product updates and effective
advertising programs are important competitive factors in maintaining unit sales
volume, market share, and shelf space in distribution.

In an effort to establish an alternative distribution channel and revitalize the
sales of the Company's core products, IMSI executed several new publishing
agreements during the second half of fiscal 2000. To that extent, the Company
granted to ValuSoft the exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute its
products in North America in exchange for royalty payments based on net sales of
these products. The agreement also provides for minimum guaranteed royalty
payments. Internationally, IMSI executed similar exclusive republishing
agreements. The Company granted the exclusive rights to manufacture and
distribute its products to AB Soft in France and French speaking countries;
MicroBasic in Germany, Austria and Switzerland; MediaGold in all other European
countries, the Middle East and Africa. All of these international republishing
agreements call for royalty payments based on net sales with minimum guaranteed
payments.

Net revenues from domestic sales decreased by $1,169,000 or 28%, to $3,013,000,
or 93% of net revenues, for the three month period ended December 31, 2000, from
$4,182,000 or 67% of net revenues, for the comparable period in the previous
fiscal year.

Net revenues from international sales declined by $1,879,000 or 89%, and were
$221,000 or 7% of net revenues for the three-month period ended December 31,
2000, compared to $2,100,000 or 33% of net revenues for the three months ended
December 31, 2000.

IMSI's international net revenues in the three-month period ended December 31,
2000 were comprised of revenues from the Australian subsidiary and royalties
received from the international publishers. This shift in the revenue mix is
consistent with IMSI's decision in January 2000 to close down its European and
South African subsidiaries. The liquidation of these subsidiaries resulted in a
loss of $2,043,000 from the write off of the intercompany receivables and
investment in subsidiaries that the Company believes are not recoverable. This
loss was reflected in the Company's fiscal 2000 financial results as reported on
IMSI's fiscal 2000 Form 10-K.

With the liquidation of the Company's European and South African subsidiaries,
the risks associated with transactions in foreign currencies have been
substantially reduced. Nonetheless, IMSI's operating results may be affected by
the risks customarily associated with international operations, including a
devaluation of the U.S. dollar, increases in duty rates, exchange or price
controls, longer collection cycles, government regulations, political
instability and changes in international tax laws.

     PRODUCT COSTS

For the three months ended December 31, 2000, product costs decreased by
$4,238,000 to $845,000 as compared to the same period in 1999. As a percentage
of revenue, product costs decreased from 81% to 26%, when compared to the same
period in the previous fiscal year. For the six months ended December 31, 2000
product costs decreased by $6,465,000 from $8,266,000 or 69% of net revenues to
$1,801,000 or 29% of net revenues.

Product costs include the costs of CD-ROM duplication, printing of manuals,
packaging and fulfillment, freight-in, license fees, royalties that IMSI pays to
third parties based on sales of software, and amortization of capitalized
software acquisition and development costs. Costs associated with the return of
products, such as refurbishment and the write down in value of returned goods
are also included in product costs. The decrease in product costs in absolute
dollars and as a percentage of net revenues in the quarter ended December 31,
2000 was primarily attributable to a lower fixed manufacturing burden and
overhead costs. In addition, direct costs associated with materials and labor
were substantially reduced since IMSI has shifted the manufacturing and
distribution of a material portion of its sales to republishers.

IMSI amortizes capitalized software development costs and license fees on a
product-by-product basis. The amortization for each product is the greater of
the amount computed using (a) the ratio of current gross revenues to the total
of current and anticipated future gross revenues for the product or (b) the
economic life of such product. Generally, capitalized software development costs
are amortized over a maximum of 18 to 36 months, and license fees are amortized
over a maximum of 36 months. For the six-month period ended December 31, 2000,
amortization of non-advanced fees and amortization of capitalized software were
$436,000 and $314,000 respectively. This compares to $645,000 and $569,000
respectively for the six-month period ended December 31, 1999. The decrease in
the amortization expenses is due to the Company not investing as much in the
replacement of the underlying assets. This substantial decrease in amortization
expenses helped improve the profit margin.

     SALES AND MARKETING

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2000
decreased by $1,591,000 or 71% to $654,000 as compared to the same period in the
previous fiscal year. Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ending
December 31, 2000 decreased by $3,114,000 or 73% to $1,171,000 as compared to
the same period in the previous fiscal year. As a percentage of net revenues,
sales and marketing expenses for the three and six month periods ending December
31, 2000, were 20% and 19%, respectively, as compared with 36% and 36%,
respectively, for the previous fiscal year. Sales and marketing expenses consist
primarily of salaries and benefits of sales and marketing personnel,
commissions, printing and direct mail expenses. IMSI's exit from the retail
business explains the large savings on sales and marketing expenses. The
decrease in dollar and percentage amounts is particularly due to a reduction in
advertising, marketing staff, merchandisers, corporate sales representatives and
other sales overhead expense.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

General and administrative expenses for the three and six month periods ending
December 31, 2000 decreased by $1,950,000 or 65% to $1,030,000 and $2,912,000 or
60% to $1,982,000, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the previous
fiscal year. As a percentage of net revenues, general


                                       14
<PAGE>   15
and administrative expenses for the three and six-month periods ended December
31, 2000, were 32% and 32%, respectively. This compares to 47% and 41%,
respectively, for the previous fiscal year.

IMSI's general and administrative expenses consist primarily of the salaries and
benefits for employees in the legal, finance, accounting, human resources,
information systems and executive departments and fees to IMSI's legal and
professional advisors. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is
primarily due to the downsizing of the consolidated operations of the Company
which included employee layoffs and facility closure in February 2000; and
decreased accounting fees and legal expenses during the same period of the
previous year incurred in connection with the Company's restructuring plan, the
review of its financial results by the SEC and the Imageline, Inc. arbitration.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2000
decreased $497,000, or 42%, to $684,000. For the six months ending December 31,
2000, research and development expenses decreased $1,135,000 or 46% to
$1,357,000. As a percentage of net revenues, research and development expenses
for the three and six month periods ending December 31, 2000, were 21% and 22%,
respectively, as compared with 19% and 21%, respectively, for the previous
fiscal year.

IMSI's research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and
benefits for research and development employees and payments to independent
contractors. The decrease in absolute dollar amounts spent on research and
development reflects cost containment efforts conducted during fiscal 2000 which
included headcount reductions; the decrease in the number of products under
development as part of the streamlining of IMSI's product offerings, and, the
closing of IMSI's engineering facilities in Ottawa, Canada. On the other hand,
the steady ratio of research and development expenses as a percentage of net
revenues reflects the Company's commitment to invest in research and development
for its core products, for its Internet subsidiary, ArtToday.com, and its new
internet division Design.net.

     OTHER EXPENSE, NET

Other expense, net, which consists of interest expense on short and long-term
borrowings, financing penalties, and net gains or losses on foreign currency
transactions, decreased from $1,061,000 to $533,000 for the three month period
ended December 31, 2000 as compared to the same period of the previous fiscal
year. For the six months ended December 31, 2000, other expense, net, decreased
from $1,524,000 to $1,087,000 from the previous fiscal year. Other expense, net
for the quarter ending December 31, 2000 includes $135,000 in penalties owed to
Bay Star related to registration requirements in the share purchase agreements,
$40,000 statutory interest to Imageline, Inc. relating to the arbitration ruling
and $360,000 of interest on short term borrowing to Union Bank of California,
Silicon Valley Bank and BayStar Capital.

     PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

IMSI has not recorded any tax benefit for its domestic tax losses because of the
uncertainty of realization. The Company adheres to Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes," which
requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting
for income taxes. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.


                                       15

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 31, 2000, IMSI had $1,796,000 in cash and cash equivalents, an
increase of $319,000 from the cash and cash equivalents balance of $1,477,000 at
June 30, 2000. Working capital declined by $312,000 from a negative $18,999,000
at June 30, 2000 to a negative $19,311,000 at December 31, 2000.

Despite the Company's loss from continuing operations of $1,006,000 for the six
months ending December 31, 2000, operating activities generated net cash of
$447,000 during this period. While a number of factors generated this
difference, two caused a major portion of the difference. First, while IMSI is
accruing all interest and penalties related to the Union Bank of California,
Silicon Valley Bank, BayStar and Imageline, Inc, the Company is paying only
Union Bank of California. The interest not paid during the six months ended
December 31, 2000 was $883,000. Second, amortization, depreciation and the
write-off of prepaid royalties exceeded the recognition of deferred revenue by
$153,000 during this six-month period.

IMSI's investing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2000
consumed $24,000 of cash. Nearly all of the expenditures were by ArtToday.com to
purchase computers and related equipment and to complete leasehold improvements
at their new offices. These expenditures were necessary to provide the resources
to support the anticipated growth of ArtToday.com. The Company generated cash of
$285,000 related to the sale of product lines and domain names.

The Company's financing activities used net cash of $107,000 during the
six-month period ended December 31, 2000. In addition to making capital lease
obligation payments, IMSI paid down the bank's non-revolving reducing loan to us
(the former credit line) by $20,000.

The loans with Union Bank were due on September 30, 1999. A balance of
$4,580,000 on the non-revolving reducing loan remains unpaid. Under the terms of
the loan agreement, Union Bank can declare the loan to be immediately due and
payable and can commence immediate enforcement and collection actions.
Enforcement and collection actions by Union Bank could have a materially adverse
effect on IMSI's ability to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements have been prepared on a basis that contemplates IMSI's
continuation as a going concern and the realization of the Company's assets and
liquidation of IMSI's liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The
Company has an accumulated deficit of $44.1 million at December 31, 2000. IMSI
is also in default of various loan covenants. These matters, among others, raise
substantial doubt about IMSI's ability to remain a going concern for a
reasonable period of time. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of assets or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty. IMSI's continued existence is dependent on its ability to
obtain additional financing sufficient to allow it to meet its obligations as
they become due and to achieve profitable operations. See Note 2 to the
condensed consolidated financial statements, "Realization of Assets."

IMSI will require additional working capital to meet its ongoing operating
expenses, to continue its technological development, to develop new products,
and to conduct other activities. Historically, IMSI has financed its working
capital and capital expenditure requirements primarily from retained earnings,
short-term and long-term bank borrowings, capitalized leases and sales of common
stock. During fiscal year 2000, IMSI relied primarily on the collection of
receivables and sales of non-core product lines to fund operations. IMSI cannot
rely on these sources of cash to fund the Company during fiscal 2001. IMSI must
obtain additional equity capital and restructure the Company's significant debt
to meet its funds requirements. The large accumulated losses of IMSI and the


                                       16
<PAGE>   17
negative amount of shareholder's equity as of December 31, 2000 will make it
difficult for IMSI to obtain new debt financing or to obtain equity financing at
attractive prices.

The forecast period of time through which the Company's financial resources will
be adequate to support working capital and capital expenditure requirements is a
forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual
results could vary. IMSI can provide no assurance that needed financing will be
available. Furthermore, any additional equity financing, if available, may be
dilutive to shareholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve
restrictive covenants. If IMSI fails to raise capital when needed, then lack of
capital will have a materially adverse effect on IMSI's business, operating
results, financial condition and ability to continue as a going concern.

IMSI had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of December 31,
2000.

     OTHER FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

Operating results reflect continued Net Losses in the Second Quarter of Fiscal
2001. The following table reports IMSI's operating income (loss) and net income
(loss) from continuing operations for the periods presented (in thousands):

</TABLE>

Starting in fiscal year 1998, IMSI's operating results began to worsen, and the
Company continued to lose money in fiscal years 1999 and 2000. While the
quarterly net losses from continuing operations for the three months ended June
30, 2000, September 30, 2000 and December 31, 2000 are significantly smaller
than the net losses of previous quarters, the trend of continued losses and
growing shareholder deficit raise the question of IMSI's ability to continue as
a going concern. However, the quarter ending December 31, 2000 had a small
operating gain compared to a small operating loss in the prior quarter ending
September 30, 2000. Adjusting for non-recurring items of $285,000 for gain on
product line sale offset by $187,000 for settlement of fee agreement, the net
loss for the quarter ending December 31, 2000 was $76,000.

Factors that may cause fluctuations of, or a continuing decline in, operating
results in the future include the market factors and competitive factors
described at page 30 in the Company's Fiscal 2000 Form 10-K, under "Future
Performance and Additional Risk Factors."

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

IMSI is exposed to the impact of interest rates and, to a very minor degree,
foreign currency fluctuations. IMSI's objective in managing exposure to interest
rate changes and foreign currency fluctuations is to limit the impact of
interest rate changes on earnings and cash flow and to lower overall borrowing
costs. IMSI's major market risk exposure is changing interest rates in the
United States, which would change interest expense on the non-revolving,
reducing loan. IMSI does not hedge foreign currency risk.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On April 23, 1998 IMSI began arbitration proceedings against Imageline, Inc.
before the American Arbitration Association in San Francisco, California. IMSI
requested that all matters within the scope of the agreements between Imageline,
Inc and IMSI be resolved by arbitration, including a dispute in which Imageline,
Inc. sued Mindscape, Inc. for alleged copyright infringement, for which IMSI may
be required to indemnify Mindscape, in whole or in part. IMSI further requested
that the arbitration decide the rights and liabilities of the parties, and the
validity of the copyrights under which Imageline, Inc. asserted its claims
against IMSI. IMSI also requested compensatory damages and attorney's fees.

On August 12, 1999 Imageline, Inc. filed a counterclaim in the arbitration,
alleging breach by IMSI of an agreement between the parties, including
unauthorized sublicensing, and instituting arbitration proceedings without
notice and the opportunity to cure. Imageline, Inc. requested liquidated
damages, alleged to be more than $200,000, compensatory damages of at least
$500,000, punitive damages, legal fees, interest and costs. On January 14, 2000,
Imageline, Inc. received a $2.6 million arbitration award against IMSI for
intellectual property violations and attorney's fees. The award is comprised of
$1.2 million in actual damages, $1.2 in punitive damages and $0.2 million in
attorneys' fees.

In April 2000, IMSI and Imageline, Inc. initiated negotiations to settle the
award. The original proposed settlement included a variety of considerations,
including cash, a consulting agreement, warrants, payment of legal fees, and
royalties on certain future sales of Masterclips. This agreement was executed;
however it lapsed by its own terms due to the fact it was contingent on bank
approval that was not given by one of the banks.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2000, Imageline, Inc. alleged that during
the past year IMSI had committed additional infringements of Imageline's
copyrights. In subsequent conversations and correspondence between the parties,
Imageline has claimed that its damages for such additional infringements will
range up to $12 million. Imageline has neither taken any formal legal action to
date with respect to these allegations, nor has it set out with specificity the
exact nature of these alleged infringements. IMSI believes that these additional
claims are without merit, and if legal action is instituted by Imageline with
respect to them, intends to vigorously defend against them. The Company has had
extensive communications with Imageline in an attempt to reach an equitable


                                       18
<PAGE>   19
settlement with respect to all issues between the companies; but there can be no
assurances that these discussions will be successful.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On January 31, 2000, IMSI was de-listed from the Nasdaq Small Cap Market and on
February 25, 2000, began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board with the symbol
IMSIE. On March 28, 2000, IMSI was de-listed from the OTC Bulletin Board and
began trading on the National Quotation Bureau Pink Sheets, because the Company
had failed to file its December 31, 1999 Form 10-Q on a timely basis.

In September 2000, IMSI filed amended reports on Form 10-K/A for the year ended
June 30, 1999 and Form 10-Q/A for the quarters ended September 30, 1999,
December 31, 1999, and March 31, 2000 with the SEC. The filing of these amended
reports ended a yearlong examination by the SEC, during which IMSI responded to
the SEC's requests for information, clarification and expanded disclosure. On
October 12, 2000 IMSI filed its Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2000, and
on November 14, 2000 the Company filed its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000. The Company continued its efforts to return to the OTC
Bulletin Board, and, on December 27, 2000, IMSI was eligible, under Rule
15c2-11, for Resumption of Quotations and began trading again on the OTCBB.
