                        SAFE HARBOR COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

OUR OPERATING RESULTS ARE LIKELY TO FLUCTUATE, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR
STOCK PRICE.

     During our operating history, we have experienced quarterly fluctuations in
our operating results, and we expect this trend to continue. These fluctuations
are caused by several factors described below and elsewhere in this "Safe Harbor
Compliance Statement" section, many of which are beyond our control. Factors
that affect our operating results include:

     - the timing and release of new products or enhancements

     - unexpected delays in introducing new products or enhancements

     - delays of purchases of new technology by customers who are directing
       their resources to resolve year 2000 issues

     - the timing of shipment and installation of products ordered

     - delays of purchases of our products by customers who anticipate the
       release of a new product or enhancement

     - the amount and timing of our sales and marketing, product development, or
       administrative expenses

     Due to these factors, we believe that quarter to quarter comparisons of our
operating results may not be meaningful. Therefore, you should not rely on the
results of one quarter as an indication of our future performance. Furthermore,
we plan to increase our operating expenses to expand our sales and marketing
operations, develop new distribution channels, fund greater levels of research
and development, broaden professional services and support, and improve
operational and financial systems. Failure of our revenue to increase along with
these expenses could create fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations.

WE HAVE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED LOSSES, AND WE EXPECT TO INCUR LOSSES IN THE NEAR
TERM.

     We experienced a net loss of approximately $4.4 million, or 34.0% of our
total revenue, in the year ended December 31, 1999. At December 31, 1999, we had
an accumulated deficit of $10.3 million. Our recent history of losses began as a
result of our shift from developing and marketing call accounting products only
to also developing and marketing an Internet usage management solution. We
anticipate that planned expenditures on sales, marketing and product development
will result in additional losses in the near term. Future expenditures on sales,
marketing and product development will be driven primarily by our ability to
achieve our targeted revenue goals.

     Our rapid growth places a significant demand on management and operational
resources. In order to manage growth effectively, it is necessary to implement
and improve operational systems, procedures and controls on a timely basis. In
addition, the Company expects that future expansion will continue to challenge
its ability to hire, train, motivate and manage its employees. Competition is
intense for highly qualified technical, sales and marketing and management
personnel. If total revenue does not increase relative to operating expenses,
and management system do not expand to meet increasing demands, and if the
Company fails to attract, assimilate and retain qualified personnel or its
management otherwise fails to manage its expansion effectively, there would be a
material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and operating
results.

     We are not certain when we will regain profitability. Even if we do regain
profitability, we may not sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or
annual basis.

WE HAVE DERIVED LIMITED REVENUES FROM OUR INTERNET AND INTEGRATED PRODUCTS TO
DATE, AND WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN ACHIEVING SUBSTANTIAL REVENUE FROM THESE
PRODUCTS.

     We released the initial version of our Internet usage management product in
May 1997. Our initial Internet usage management product extracted usage data
from a limited number of Internet devices. In November 1998 we released our
integrated product that extracts usage data from multiple Internet devices and
voice network devices. For the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999, we
derived revenue of $1.1 million and $ 4.0 million, respectively, from sales of
our Internet and integrated products. However, we also incurred significant
costs in the development of these products and expect to incur significant costs
related to further sales, distribution and development of our Internet and
integrated products in the near term. We cannot guarantee that our Internet and
integrated products will achieve broad market acceptance and generate
substantial revenue.

OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON CONTINUED ACCEPTANCE AND GROWTH OF THE INTERNET.

     Sales of our Internet usage management solutions depend on the continued
acceptance and growth of the Internet. Because the Internet has only recently
become a viable medium for commerce and communications, demand and market
acceptance for Internet-related products are subject to high levels of
uncertainty and risk. The Internet has experienced, and is expected to continue
to experience, significant growth in the number of users and amount of traffic.
The Internet infrastructure may not be able to support the demands placed on it
by this continued growth. Furthermore, the Internet has experienced a variety of
outages and other delays as a result of damage to portions of its
infrastructure, and such outages and delays could adversely affect the Internet
usage of organizations utilizing our solutions. Additionally, the Internet could
lose its viability due to delays in the development or adoption of new standards
and protocols to handle increased levels of Internet activity or due to
increased governmental regulation. Moreover, critical issues concerning the
commercial use of the Internet remain unresolved and may negatively affect the
growth of Internet use and the attractiveness of commerce and communication on
the Internet. If critical issues concerning the commercial use of the Internet
are not resolved in our favor, if the necessary infrastructure and complementary
products are not developed, or if the Internet does not become a viable
commercial marketplace, the demand for our Internet usage management solutions
could be significantly reduced, which would have a material adverse effect on
our business, results of operations and financial condition.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY WITH OTHER COMPANIES THAT
PROVIDE SIMILAR PRODUCTS.

     We currently compete with providers of Internet management software,
including WebTrends, Accrue Software, the SecureIT division of VeriSign, Elron
Software, Talley Systems and Sequel Technology and providers of call accounting
software, including IntegraTrak, ISI, MicroTel, Switchview, Telco Research,
Verimark, Xiox and Xtend. The market in which we compete is intensely
competitive, increasingly subject to rapid changes, and significantly affected
by new product introductions and other activities of market participants. In
addition, the market is highly fragmented, and our competitors vary depending
upon the segment of the market that our network usage management solutions
address.

     In addition to current competition from producers of network usage
management solutions, in the future we may experience competition from vendors
of network devices, such as AXENT Technologies, Inc., Check Point Software
Technologies Ltd., Cisco Systems, Inc., Lucent Technologies, Inc., Microsoft
Corporation, Netscape Communications Corp., Nortel Networks Corporation, Siemens
Corporation and others, that could bundle network usage management solutions
with their network products. The bundling of competing products with network
devices could make it more difficult for us to market our products or render our
products obsolete. Even if the functionality, ease of use, and performance of
the products included with network devices is inferior to that of our products,
a significant number of customers may elect to accept these products instead of
purchasing additional software from us. In addition, we believe that additional
competitors will continue to enter the market as the size and visibility of the
market

                                        2

opportunity increases. These new market entrants may include traditional system
and network management software developers.

     We also face competition from Internet management service providers, such
as consulting firms, web design firms, Internet audit firms, site management
vendors, Internet service providers and independent software vendors. These
service providers may use our solutions, our competitors' solutions or custom-
developed solutions to provide network usage management for their customers who
otherwise would have been sale opportunities for us. In addition, certain larger
potential customers may rely on their IT departments to internally develop
Internet usage management solutions.

     Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating
histories, greater name recognition, access to larger customer bases, and
substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution, service,
support and other resources than we have. As a result, they may be able to
respond more quickly than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies,
standards or customer requirements. Our inability to develop products that are
technologically competitive, responsive to customer needs and competitively
priced could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.

WE MUST INCREASE BRAND AWARENESS OF OUR PRODUCT TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE.

     Due in part to the emerging nature of the market for Internet usage
management solutions and the substantial resources available to many of our
competitors, we may have limited time to achieve and maintain a significant
market share. Developing and maintaining awareness of the Telemate.Net brand
name is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our network usage
management and reporting solutions. Furthermore, the importance of brand
recognition will increase as competition in the market for our products
increases. Successfully promoting and positioning the Telemate.Net brand will
depend largely on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and our ability to
develop reliable and useful products at competitive prices. Therefore, we plan
to increase our financial commitment to create and maintain brand awareness
among potential customers. If we fail to successfully promote our brand name or
if we incur significantly greater expenses than planned in promoting and
maintaining our brand name, it could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations, and financial condition.

IF WE DO NOT CONTINUE TO EXPAND THE DISTRIBUTION OF OUR PRODUCTS THROUGH DIRECT
AND INDIRECT SALES CHANNELS, OUR OPERATING RESULTS WILL SUFFER.

     In order to increase our market share and revenue, we will need to expand
our direct and indirect sales operations and channels of distribution. We have a
broad base of customers, most of whom license a limited number of our products.
To improve our results of operations, we must increase our base of customers and
the number of products that each customer licenses. This may require an
increasingly sophisticated sales effort. In order to achieve increased sales, we
plan to hire additional sales personnel. Any new hires will require training and
take time to achieve full productivity. We may not be able to hire enough
qualified individuals when needed, or at all. Failure to do so could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial
condition.

     Our future success also depends upon our ability to expand our
relationships with domestic and international distributors, value-added
resellers, systems integrators, on-line and other resellers, Internet service
providers and original equipment manufacturers to build our indirect sales
channels. We currently maintain non-exclusive relationships with leading
networking and network security vendors that help market and distribute our
products, but we do not have written agreements with most of these companies. We
must also continue to expand and maintain our non-exclusive relationships with
key hardware and software vendors, distributors and resellers. We may not be
successful in these efforts. Moreover, because we do not have written agreements
with most of these parties, we cannot guarantee that these relationships will
continue at all or on terms acceptable to us.

IF OUR SOFTWARE CONTAINS DEFECTS, OUR SALES ARE LIKELY TO SUFFER AND WE MAY BE
EXPOSED TO LEGAL CLAIMS.

     Our products and product enhancements are very complex and may from time to
time contain defects or result in failures that we did not detect or anticipate
when introducing such products or enhancements to the market. In addition, the
computer and Internet environments in which our products are used are
characterized by a wide variety of standard and non-standard configurations and
by errors, failures and bugs in third-party platforms that can impede proper
operation of our products. Despite our testing, defects may still be discovered
in some new products or enhancements after the products or enhancements are
delivered to customers. The occurrence of these defects could result in:

     - product returns;

     - adverse publicity;

     - loss of or delays in market acceptance of our products;

     - delays or cessation of service to our customers; or

     - legal claims by customers against us.

     Our end-user licenses contain provisions that limit our exposure to legal
claims, but these provisions may not be enforceable in all jurisdictions.
Additionally, we maintain limited products liability insurance. To the extent
that our contractual limitations are unenforceable or such claims are not
covered by insurance, a successful products liability claim could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.

OUR BUSINESS IS DEPENDENT ON OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND PRESIDENT.

     Our success depends largely upon the continued services of our Chief
Executive Officer and President, Richard L. Mauro. We cannot guarantee that Mr.
Mauro will continue to remain an employee. We have insurance on the life of Mr.
Mauro, but there can be no assurance that the proceeds of this insurance would
be adequate to compensate us for the loss of his services.

IF WE FAIL TO HIRE AND RETAIN ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL, WE WILL BE UNABLE TO GROW
OUR BUSINESS.

     We intend to hire a significant number of additional sales, support,
marketing and development personnel. Our future success depends on our ability
to attract and retain highly qualified personnel in these areas. In the past
three years, our employee turnover rate has been between 20% and 30%. Moreover,
the competition for qualified personnel in the computer software and Internet
markets is intense, and we may be unable to attract, assimilate or retain
additional highly qualified personnel in the future. This could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

WE MUST EFFECTIVELY MANAGE THE GROWTH OF OUR BUSINESS TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

     We are rapidly expanding our operations. In particular, we have expanded
our sales and marketing departments by 48 persons, or 117%, since 1998 in an
effort to increase revenue growth. We have also expanded our services and
support staff by 26 persons, or 68%, since 1998. We expect this expansion to
continue at an accelerated rate. This expansion has placed a significant strain
on our management and on our operational and financial resources, which we
expect will continue. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our
business could be materially and adversely affected. To successfully manage our
future growth, we will need to upgrade our resources and systems as well as
expand our employee base. Our future performance will depend, in part, on our
ability to effectively integrate our newly-hired executive officers into our
management team. We cannot be certain that our management, operational and
financial resources will be adequate to support our future operations.

INFRINGEMENT OR DUPLICATION OF OUR PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY COULD HARM OUR
BUSINESS.

     We currently rely on a combination of patent, trademark, service mark,
trade dress, copyright and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality
provisions and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary technology.
However, we cannot guarantee that third parties will not infringe or duplicate
this technology and offer competing products that are substantially similar to
ours.

     We currently have registered trademarks in Telemate and Telemate.Net and
one patent application pending on our Telemate.Net integrated network usage
management product. We cannot guarantee that this application or any future
applications to protect our intellectual property will not be rejected. Even if
they are not rejected, trademark, patent, copyright and trade secret protection
may not be effective or available in every country in which our products are
distributed or made available through the Internet. Despite taking steps to
protect our rights, third parties could infringe or misappropriate our
proprietary rights. Also, most protections do not preclude competitors from
independently developing products with functionality or features substantially
equivalent or superior to our products. Any infringement, misappropriation or
third-party development could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.

     In the future, litigation may be necessary to enforce and protect our trade
secrets, copyrights and other intellectual property rights. Legal standards
relating to the validity, enforceability and scope protection of intellectual
property rights in Internet-related industries are uncertain and still evolving,
and the future viability or value of any of our intellectual property rights is
uncertain. Litigation, regardless of its outcome, would divert management
resources, be expensive and may not effectively protect our intellectual
property.

OUR BUSINESS COULD BE HARMED IF WE ARE SUBJECTED TO INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS BROUGHT
BY THIRD PARTIES.

     In addition to the technology we have developed internally, we also use
code libraries developed and maintained by Greenleaf Software, Stingray Software
and Microsoft and have acquired or licensed technologies from other companies.
Our integrated network management solutions are built around an embedded
Microsoft SQL 7.0 database and Seagate Software, Inc.'s custom report writing
tool. Our internally developed technology, the code libraries or the technology
we acquired or licensed may infringe on a third party's intellectual property
rights, and such third parties may bring claims against us. Such claims and any
resulting litigation could subject us to significant liability for damages and
invalidate our proprietary rights. Any infringement claims against us could also
force us to do one or more of the following:

     - cease selling, incorporating or using products or services that
       incorporate the challenged intellectual property;

     - obtain from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right a
       license to sell or use the relevant technology, which license may not be
       available on reasonable terms or at all; or

     - redesign those products or services that incorporate the disputed
       technology.

     Any of these results could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.

OUR PRODUCTS COULD BE TAMPERED WITH AND RENDERED INEFFECTIVE BY COMPUTER
HACKERS.

     Because our products access a wide range of information relating to our
customers' businesses, computer hackers may attempt to infiltrate our software
systems to obtain sensitive data and information regarding our customers. In
addition, some of our products monitor network security. There is a risk that
those products will be targets of attacks by computer hackers who create bugs or
viruses or otherwise breach the security of those products in an attempt to
sabotage their functionality. Although we know of no material infiltration of
our products by hackers to date, our Internet usage products are new and we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to respond to such attacks in a timely or
effective manner. Any

                                        5
<PAGE>   6

failure to do so could result in claims against us and make it difficult for us
to market and sell our products.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION COULD INCREASE THE COSTS OF DOING BUSINESS ON THE INTERNET
AND NEGATIVELY AFFECT SALES OF OUR PRODUCTS.

     As Internet commerce continues to evolve, increasing regulation by federal,
state or foreign agencies becomes more likely. Such laws and regulations could
affect the network usage management activities of our customers. Regulation, if
imposed, is likely to be in the areas of user privacy, pricing, content, and
quality of products and services. Taxation of Internet use, or other charges
imposed by government agencies or by private organizations for accessing the
Internet, may also be imposed. Furthermore, any regulation imposing fees for
Internet use could result in a decline in the use of the Internet and the
viability of Internet commerce, which could have a material adverse effect on
our business, results of operations and financial condition.

OUR CHARTER DOCUMENTS AND GEORGIA LAW MAY PREVENT OR DELAY A FUTURE MERGER OR
ACQUISITION, THUS LOWERING OUR STOCK PRICE OR PREVENTING OUR SHAREHOLDERS FROM
REALIZING A PREMIUM OVER OUR STOCK PRICE.

     Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws may have the effect of delaying,
preventing or making a merger or acquisition less desirable to a potential
acquirer, even where shareholders may consider the acquisition or merger
favorable. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of
delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control without further action by
the shareholders. Any such issuance may materially adversely affect the market
price of our common stock and the voting rights of the holders of our common
stock. The issuance of our preferred stock may also result in the loss of voting
control by the holders of our common stock to the holders of our preferred
stock. In addition, provisions of the Georgia Business Corporation Code also may
delay, prevent or discourage someone from acquiring or merging with us. The
prevention or delay of a merger or acquisition could reduce our stock price or
prevent our shareholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.
