                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
from the records of International Microcomputer Software, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(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, results of operations and cash flows at December 31,
1995, and for all periods presented, have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. Accounting policies followed by the Company are
described in the notes to the financial statements in its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended June 30, 1995. The condensed financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1995.

The results of operations for the three month and six month periods ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations".

Certain fiscal 1995 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the method of
presentation in fiscal 1996.

NOTE 2. STOCK SPLIT

In October 1995, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a 3 for 2 stock
split in the form of a dividend. The stock split was payable to shareholders of
record on October 20, 1995 and was distributed to shareholders on November 3,
1995. All share and per share figures presented have been restated to reflect
this stock split.

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

SUMMARY

The Company's 1996 fiscal second quarter net revenues of $5,787,870 decreased
1.8% from second quarter net revenues of $5,895,638 in the prior fiscal year.
Gross margin in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 increased to 68.1% from 67.0%
from the same quarter in the previous year. Operating expenses in the second
quarter of fiscal 1996 were $3,495,548 compared to $3,594,413 for the same
period last year, representing a decrease of 2.8%. Net income of $241,546
increased 26.5% over second quarter's net income of $191,016 in the prior fiscal
year. The increase in net income was primarily a result of lower overall
operating expenses, particularly sales and marketing expenses which have
decreased as the Company focuses increasingly upon retail, rather than direct
sales channels, and a reduced effective tax rate in fiscal 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET REVENUES

Net revenues for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995 were
$5,787,870 and $10,894,948, respectively compared to $5,895,638 and $10,656,211
for the same periods in the previous year. Decreased net revenues are
attributable to a decrease in sales directly to end users, partially offset by
an increase in retail channel sales for the same periods. This decrease in
direct sales is consistent with the Company's strategy to transition a portion
of these sales over to the retail channel

Net revenues from channel sales accounted for $3,984,968 or 69% and $7,613,031
or 70% of net revenues for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995
and for $3,476,849 or 59% and $6,031,436 or 57% of net revenues for the
comparable periods in fiscal year 1995. Channel sales increased $508,119 or 15%
and $1,581,595 or 26% for the quarter and six months ended December 31,1995
compared to the same periods last year.

Net revenues from direct mail sales accounted for approximately $1,802,902 or
31% and $3,281,917 or 30% of net revenues for the quarter and six months ended
December 31, 1995 compared to approximately $2,418,789 or 41% and $4,624,775 or
43% of net revenues for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1994. Net
direct mail revenues decreased approximately $615,887 or 25% and $1,342,858 or
29% for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995 compared to the same
periods last year.

International net revenues accounted for approximately $1,441,594 or 25% and
$2,930,994 or 27% of total net revenues for the quarter and six months ended
December 31, 1995 compared to $2,027,236 or 34% and $3,423,427 or 32% of total
net revenues for the same periods in the previous fiscal year. The decrease in
international net revenues of $585,642 or 29% and $492,433 or 14% of total net
revenues for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995 over the same
periods in the previous fiscal year was primarily the result of decreased direct
mail sales, partially offset by increased sales through the retail channel.


                                       7

PRODUCT COSTS

Product costs include direct costs of production (manuals, diskettes, compact
disks, duplication, packaging materials and assembly), shipping, royalties,
inventory spoilage, reserves for obsolete inventory, and amortization of
capitalized software development costs. Product costs were $1,848,692 and
$3,522,291 for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995 compared to
$1,944,587 and $3,485,450 or the comparable periods in the previous fiscal year.
Gross margin as a percentage of revenues improved 1.1% for the quarter and 0.4%
for the six months ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the same periods in
the previous fiscal year. The improvement was primarily a result of an improved
mix of sales with higher gross margins.

Amortization of capitalized software development costs and acquired software
costs included in product costs were $148,133 and $263,207 for the quarter and
six months ended December 31, 1995 compared to $126,962 and $277,572 for the
same periods in the previous fiscal year.

SALES AND MARKETING

Sales and marketing expenses include salaries and benefits for retail channel,
direct mail and marketing personnel, commissions, advertising, trade show,
design, and direct mail promotional costs (design, postage, printing,
fulfillment and list rentals).

Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $2,376,641 and $4,284,328 in the
quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995 from $2,594,658 and $4,762,230
for the same periods in the previous fiscal year. As a percentage of revenues,
sales and marketing costs decreased to 41.1% and 39.3%, respectively in the
quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995 from 44.0% and 44.7%,
respectively for the same periods in the previous fiscal year. This decrease was
primarily caused by lower direct mail promotional activities. Direct mail sales
and marketing expenses comprised 48% and 47%, respectively of total sales and
marketing expense for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995,
compared to 65% and 67%, respectively for the same periods last year.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

General and administrative expenses are comprised primarily of the costs of the
Company's administrative, finance and human resources functions. General and
administrative expenses increased to $555,853 and $1,276,684 in the quarter and
six months ended December 31, 1995 from $547,551 and $1,109,855 for the same
periods in the previous fiscal year. As a percentage of revenues general and
administrative expenses remained relatively level during the quarter,
representing 9.6% and 9.3%, respectively for the quarters ended December 31,
1995 and 1994. General and administrative expenses increased to 11.7% of net
revenues in the six months ended December 31, 1995, compared to 10.4% for the
comparable period last year, primarily as a result of increased investor
relations activities and the expansion of international activities.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development expenses are comprised primarily of personnel costs,
costs required to conduct the Company's development effort and third-party
software development costs. Research and development expense increased to
$563,054 and $1,213,449 in the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995
from $452,204 and $784,262 in the same periods for the previous fiscal year. As
a


                                       8
<PAGE>   9
percentage of revenues, research and development expenses increased to 9.7% and
11.2%, respectively for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995,
compared to 7.7% and 7.4%, respectively for the same periods last year. The
increase can be attributed to increased domestic headcount, the utilization of
additional software development personnel in Russia and other third party
development costs relating to the development and expansion of the Company's
product offerings. In addition, capitalization of internal software development
costs in the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995 were immaterial,
compared with capitalization of $23,158 and $108,631 for the same periods of the
previous year.

OTHER EXPENSE, NET

Other expense, net was $62,009 and $93,048, respectively for the quarter and six
months ended December 31, 1995 compared to $16,407 and $2,791 for the same
periods in the previous fiscal year. The increase in other expense in both the
quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995 can be attributed to increased
interest expense relating to higher levels of both short term and long term debt
in fiscal 1996.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The Company's provision for income tax was $140,075 and $191,956, respectively
for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995, compared to $149,215 and
$219,486 for the same periods in the previous fiscal year. The Company's
estimated annual effective income tax rate for fiscal 1996 is 38%, compared to
43% estimated at December 31, 1994 for fiscal 1995. The primary reason for this
decrease is attributable to the utilization of research and experimentation tax
credits in fiscal 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has financed its business primarily from operating revenues,
short-term and long-term bank borrowings, capital leases and proceeds from the
sale of stock. Working capital increased to $2,193,616 at December 31, 1995 from
$1,967,042 at June 30, 1995 primarily due to the increased investment in
receivables, inventories and prepaid royalties, partially offset by increased
short-term and long-term borrowings and higher accounts payable and accrued
expenses.

The Company has used cash generated from operations and short-term borrowings to
fund its working capital requirements and to acquire capital equipment. The
Company's operating activities used net cash of $704,987 in the six months ended
December 31, 1995 and $176,081 in the six months ended December 31, 1994. The
use of cash by operating activities in fiscal 1996 can be primarily attributed
to increased investment in receivables and prepaid royalties arising from
numerous additions to the Company's product lines, and to increased investment
in receivables arising from the Company's increased focus upon retail sales as
opposed to direct sales to end users. The Company's investing activities totaled
$839,664 and $453,734 in the six months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. These investing activities were primarily for the acquisition and
development of software products. The increase is fiscal 1996 is primarily
attributable to the Company's purchase of the FloorPlan software product line in
September 1995, for approximately $700,000. Borrowings on the line of credit
provided cash of $1,125,000 and repayments used cash of $425,000 in the six
months ended December 31, 1995, compared to borrowings of $1,495,000 and
repayments of $895,000 in the six months ended December 31, 1994. In addition,
the Company obtained a term loan in September 1995 which provided cash of
$675,000. During the six months ended December 31, 1995, principal payments on
this term loan totaled $37,500.


                                       9
<PAGE>   10
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had a credit agreement with a bank under
which it can borrow the lesser of $1,500,000 or 25% of eligible inventory up to
a cap of $500,000 and 80% of eligible accounts receivable, at the bank's index
rate plus 1/2%. This credit agreement will expire on October 31, 1996. Under
terms of the agreement, all assets not subject to liens of other financial
institutions have been pledged as collateral against the line of credit. As of
December 31, 1995 the Company had $1,100,000 outstanding under this line of
credit. In January 1996, the Company increased its borrowing capacity to the
lesser of $1,800,000 or 25% of eligible inventory up to a cap of $500,000 and
80% of eligible accounts receivable as noted above, until May 31, 1996.

The Company believes that cash flow from operations, together with existing
sources of liquidity, will satisfy the Company's working capital and capital
expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. The Company's long
term goal, however, is to grow substantially. Expansion of the Company's current
business may involve significant financial risk and require significant capital
investment. Significant expansion of the Company's operations, future
acquisitions of products or companies, unexpected increases in expenses or other
factors might lead the Company to seek additional debt or equity financing.
While the Company believes it will be able to raise any necessary funds, there
can be no assurances that the Company will be able to do so, and failure to
obtain sufficient capital could have a material adverse effect on the Company or
adversely affect the Company's ability to continue to grow. In order to finance
future growth or for other reasons, the Company may consider an offering of its
equity securities within the next year or thereafter. The decision to undertake
such an offering, and the size of such an offering, would depend upon many
factors, such as the market price of the Common Stock, the working capital and
capital expenditure needs of the Company, the availability of alternative
sources of capital, and general market conditions.

QUARTERLY TRENDS

The Company's consolidated results of operations to date have not been
materially affected by seasonal trends. However, the Company believes that in
the future its results may be impacted by such factors as order deferrals in
anticipation of new product releases, delays in shipments of new products, a
slower growth rate in the software markets in which the Company operates, or
adverse general economic and industry conditions in any of the countries in
which the Company does business. In addition, with significant portions of net
revenues contributed by international operations, fluctuations of the U.S.
dollar against foreign currencies and the seasonality of the European,
Asia/Pacific, and other international markets could impact the Company's results
of operations and financial position in a particular quarter. Rapid
technological change and the Company's ability to develop, manufacture, and
market products that successfully adapt to the change may also impact results of
operations. Further, increased market competition from competitors either known
or unknown to the Company could also negatively impact the Company's results of
operations. Due to these factors, the Company's future earnings and stock price
may be subject to significant volatility, particularly on a quarterly basis. Any
shortfall in revenues or earnings from anticipated levels could have an
immediate and adverse effect on the trading price of the Company's common stock.
