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

The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of
the Company should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes thereto included elsewhere in this form 10-QSB and the Company's annual
report filed on form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998. In
addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking
statements such as statements of the Company's expectations, plans, objectives
and beliefs. These statements use such words as "may", "will", "expect",
"anticipate", "believe", "plan", and other similar terminology. Actual results
could differ materially due to changes in the market acceptance of Sonic
Foundry's products, market introduction or product development delays, global
and local business conditions, legislation and governmental regulations,
competition, the Company's ability to effectively maintain and update its
product portfolio, shifts in technology, political or economic instability in
local markets, and currency and exchange rates.

Overview
The Company is a leading provider of audio software products designed to run
under the Windows and Windows NT operating systems. The Company's current
products allow musicians, audio engineers and home users the ability to create,
edit and store audio files and record or master their own audio CD's.

The Company began shipment of Sound Forge, a Windows based audio editing
software program developed by one of the Company's founders, in 1994. By 1996,
the Company had released Sound Forge versions 3.0 and 4.0, which significantly
expanded the effects and processes available in its editor, thereby meeting the
needs of professional musicians and audio engineers. Additionally, the product
line was expanded to include Sound Forge XP, a scaled down version of Sound
Forge, as well as various plug-in products whose functions include noise
reduction, spectrum analysis and batch conversion. In June 1997, the Company
released CD Architect, an audio mastering software product and in August 1997,
offered a convolution algorithm called Acoustic Mirror, which allows users to
map the acoustic signature of any environment upon an audio file. In January
1998 the Company began shipping Soft Encode, a software product which provides
an economical method of authoring Dolby-certified AC-3 files, and in May 1998,
the Company released a music creation software product called ACID. ACID allows
musicians, media professionals, Internet developers and others to compose
royalty free, loop based music. The Company expects the product, which includes
hundreds of pre recorded loops, to have broad-based use among customers who
create and enhance dance music, add background music to videos and develop web
pages. Additionally, in October 1998, the Company introduced consumer versions
of ACID for home entertainment use. Both ACID products are supported by loop
library CD's which offer professionals and consumers a variety of music genres
to choose from when composing music.

In June 1998, the Company completed an initial public offering of 2,097,775
shares of common stock and 1,145,387 common stock purchase warrants. The Company
is using and intends to continue using the net proceeds of the offering of
$13,258,359 for development of new products, capital expenditures, sales and
marketing, expansion of internal operations, potential acquisition activities
and/or joint venture activities and working capital and general corporate
purposes.

In November 1998, the Company announced the beta release of Windows Media On-
demand Producer ("WMODP"), a product utilizing the Company's Vegas technology
and developed under contract with Microsoft Corporation. Designed for both the
experienced web developer and new entrants to the streaming media market, WMODP
delivers production and encoding features for Internet and Intranet content
developers who are deploying media content in areas such as communication,
entertainment and training. Microsoft intends to distribute the final release of
this new encoding tool in early 1999 as a no-charge addition to the Windows
Media tools available on the Microsoft Windows Media Technologies website. While
no revenues will be realized directly from the agreement with Microsoft, the
Company expects to generate greater brand recognition and access to Microsoft
customers. The Company anticipates that certain users of WMODP will require more
features than those found in WMODP and, by retaining the rights to WMODP, the
Company expects to be able to develop and sell these customers upgrades as well
as products from the Company's existing software suite.

The Company invested significant resources in sales, marketing, research and
other operating activities during the last several years. During the quarter
ended December 31, 1998, the Company initiated a marketing campaign for its
consumer products, - ACID Music, ACID DJ and ACID Rock. The Company expects the
benefits of these expenditures to be realized over the next two years. The
Company believes that its success depends largely on developing brand
recognition early in a product's life cycle, building superior technology and
quality into its products and extending its technological lead on the
competition. Accordingly, the Company expects operating costs to increase in the
near future, especially in periods of new product or market introductions.

In light of the Company's limited operating history and rapid improvements in
technology and marketing of its products, the Company believes that its revenues
and operating results, including its gross profit and operating expenses as a
percentage of total net revenues, will vary significantly from period to period.
The Company's efforts in developing OEM bundling arrangements with hardware and
software developers have contributed, and are expected to continue contributing,
to this variability. Such OEM transactions typically have higher margins and
volumes than traditional distribution methods and may be material in certain
periods.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended December 31, 1997 and 1998

Software License Fees

Revenues consist of fees charged for the licensing of Windows based software
products including Sound Forge, Sound Forge XP, CD Architect, Acoustic Mirror,
Soft Encode, ACID and various plug-in products and music libraries. Software
license fees are recognized upon delivery, net of allowances for estimated
returns, provided that no significant obligations of the Company remain and
collection of the resulting receivable is deemed probable. Revenues from
software license agreements with OEMs are recognized when the software product
has been delivered to the OEM, the fee to the Company is fixed and determinable,
and collectibility is probable. Additionally, revenues include fees recorded
pursuant to long-term contracts, using the percentage of completion method of
accounting, when significant customization or modification is required. Software
license fees increased by $1,825,000 to $2,756,000 for the three-month period
ended December 31, 1998 from $931,000 during the three-month period ended
December 31, 1997. The majority of the increase resulted from the release of the
ACID family of products in 1998 and, to a lesser extent, the introduction of a
product bundle containing the Company's CD Architect and ACID software with
purchased third party recordable compact disc drives. The retail sales sector
saw the greatest increase in revenues, fueled by the October 1998 introduction
of the consumer versions of ACID, including ACID DJ, ACID Rock and ACID Music.
The remainder of the increase was attributable to growth from existing products
driven by expenditures on sales and marketing personnel, advertising and other
product marketing activities.

Software license fees to international customers accounted for 15.8% and 14.7%
of software license fees for the three-month periods ended December 31, 1997 and
1998, respectively.

Cost of Software License Fees

Cost of software license fees increased by $661,000 to $820,000 for the three-
month period ended December 31, 1998 from $159,000 during the three-month period
ended December 31, 1997 and were 17.1% and 29.8% of software license fees during
the 1997 and 1998 periods, respectively. The majority of the increase in both
absolute dollars and as a percentage of net software license fees resulted
primarily from the sales of lower margin Professional CD Factory bundles
containing the Company's CD Architect and ACID software with third party
recordable compact disc drives. Additionally, royalty costs increased both in
absolute dollars and as a percentage of software license fees due to agreements
reached with artists to license the distribution of various audio loops included
in the Company's ACID products. The remainder of the increase in absolute
dollars related to the increased volume of software products sold during the
period.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses increased by $1,423,000 to $2,072,000 during the
three-month period ended December 31, 1998 from $649,000 during the three-month
period ended December 31, 1997. Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage
of software license fees were 69.7% and 75.2% for the 1997 and 1998 periods,
respectively. Nearly 75% of the increase was due to promotional costs to
introduce the Company's new consumer oriented product line. The promotion
involved significant expenditures at the COMDEX computer show, the worlds'
largest information technology trade show, as well as print and radio
advertisements, concert promotions, store demos and other marketing related
activities. In addition, the Company incurred additional costs associated with
the establishment of a sales and marketing office in Delft Netherlands in the
summer of 1998. The remaining increase related to personnel costs to support the
growth in historical revenues and for future product releases.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $458,000 to $775,000 during the
three-month period ended December 31, 1998 from $317,000 during the three-month
period ended December 31, 1997. General and administrative expenses as a
percentage of software license fees were 34.1% and 28.1% during the 1997 and
1998 periods, respectively. The increase in absolute dollars related to
increases in wages and related recruitment and benefit costs, professional fees,
depreciation, and other expenses required to build an infrastructure to support
current and future products. The Company was able to support product growth by
adding overhead at a slower rate of increase than revenues and thereby achieved
a reduction in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of software
license fees.

Product Development Expenses

Product development expenses increased by $451,000 to $558,000 during the three-
month period ended December 31, 1998 from $107,000 during the three-month period
ended December 31, 1997. Product development expenses as a percentage of
software license fees were 11.5% and 20.2% for the 1997 and 1998 periods,
respectively. In accordance with SFAS Number 86, the Company capitalizes the
cost of development of software products that have reached the level of
technological feasibility. The Company's ACID product fell into this category
during the three-month period ended December 31, 1997, resulting in
capitalization of $125,000 of development costs. No development costs were
capitalized during the three-month period ended December 31, 1998. The addition
of software engineers to accelerate development of the Company's expanding line
of software products caused the net increase in product development costs
between the two periods.

See accompanying notes.                11
<PAGE>
 
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

No Federal or State tax expense was recorded during either of the quarters ended
December 31, 1997 or 1998 due to the Company's Federal and State net operating
loss position. No deferred tax benefit was recorded in the quarter ended
December 31, 1998 as the Company continues to record a valuation allowance equal
to the balance of net deferred tax assets.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash was used in operating activities of $317,000 and $2,248,000 for the three-
month periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. A loss of $324,000
was the primary factor in the use of cash during the 1997 period. The ACID
product launch contributed to a loss and use of cash, of $1,382,000 in 1998.
Additional investments in accounts receivable, inventory and other assets of
$181,000 and $1,062,000 also impacted cash used in operations for the three-
month periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Cash invested in
such assets for the three-month periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1998 were
partially offset by additional credit obtained from trade creditors of $116,000
and $6,000, respectively. The impact of noncash charges such as depreciation,
amortization, issuance of common stock warrants and deferred tax charges for the
three-month periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1998 totaled $72,000 and
$190,000, respectively.

Cash used in investing activities of $200,000 and $340,000 for the three-month
periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively, included purchases of
fixed assets of $75,000 and $340,000, respectively. Leasehold expenditures for
the company's administrative and engineering offices in 1998 and purchases of
computers, furniture and other assets were the primary fixed asset additions.
Cash used in investing activities was also affected by capitalized software
development efforts of $125,000 for the three-month period ended December 31,
1997.

Cash provided by financing activities of $471,000 for the three-month period
ended December 31, 1997 and cash used in financing activities of $613,000 for
the three-month period ended December 31, 1998 was impacted by payments on long-
term debt of $156,000 and $613,000, respectively. The 1997 payments on long-term
debt were more than offset by the issuance of $627,000 of common stock.

In February 1997, the Company entered into a $620,000 construction loan with a
bank to fund the purchase and renovation of a 10,000 square foot facility to
house the Company's expanded operations. On January 8, 1998, the Company
converted the construction loan into a term loan due January 3, 2003. The loan
was paid in full in October 1998.

See accompanying notes.                12
<PAGE>
 
The Company received the proceeds of a $40,000 unsecured note in August 1997
from relatives of a Company officer. The note paid interest monthly at 15% per
annum and was convertible into Common Stock at $5.00 per share at the election
of the Company. The Company exercised its right and converted the note into
8,000 shares of Common Stock in October 1997.

In June 1998, the Company completed an initial public offering, including over
allotment shares, of 2,097,775 shares of common stock at a price of $7.50 per
share and 1,145,387 common stock purchase warrants at a price of $0.10 each. The
net proceeds to the Company from the offering, after deduction of underwriting
discounts and other expenses relating to the offering, were approximately
$13,258,359. The Company is using and intends to continue using the net proceeds
for development of new products, capital expenditures, sales and marketing,
expansion of internal operations, acquisition activities and / or joint venture
activities and working capital and general corporate purposes.

Although the Company has no substantial commitments for capital expenditures,
management anticipates there will be a need for increased capital expenditures
and lease commitments in the next 12 months consistent with the anticipated
growth in operations and infrastructure.

The Company has significantly increased its operating expenses since its
inception and expects the need for significant investment in marketing and other
support staff and associated costs to continue. Management believes that the net
proceeds of the initial public offering completed in June 1998 and cash provided
by operations will enable it to meet its operational and capital requirements
for at least the next 12 months.

Year 2000 Impact

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Computer programs that
have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000. The Year 2000 issue creates risk for the Company from
unforeseen problems in its own computer systems and from third parties,
including customers, vendors, and manufacturers, with whom the Company deals.
Failures of the Company's and/or third parties' computer systems could have a
material impact on the Company's ability to conduct its business.

The Company believes its software products are year 2000 compliant. The
Company's products obtain date information, such as creation dates and
modification dates, directly from the computer's operating system. Microsoft
Corporation has stated that their operating systems will continue to operate
into the twenty-first century.

With regard to the Company's internal processing and operational systems, the
Company has designed a Year 2000 readiness plan including the following steps:
(i) conducting an

See accompanying notes.                13
<PAGE>
 
inventory of the Company's internal systems, including information technology
systems and non-information technology and the systems acquired or to be
acquired by the Company from third parties; (ii) assessing and prioritizing any
required remediation; (iii) remediating any problems by repairing or, if
appropriate, replacing the non-compliant systems; (iv) testing of all remediated
systems for Year 2000 compliance; and (v) developing contingency plans that may
be employed in the event that any system used by the Company is unexpectedly
affected by an unanticipated Year 2000 problem. The Company has completed the
inventory and assessment phases of this plan. Although the Company has not
discovered any material operational issues or costs associated with preparing
internal systems for the Year 2000, there can be no assurance that the Company
will not experience material adverse effects from undetected errors or the
failure of such systems to be Year 2000 compliant. Any such failures could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.

In addition to assessing its own systems, the Company has reviewed its
dependence on its vendors, service providers and third party business partners.
The Company believes there are numerous sources and alternatives to vendors for
which it relies on for products or services. Further, no customer accounts for
more than 10% of the Company's revenues. Despite the Company's lack of
dependence, there can be no guarantee that the Company will not be adversely
impacted by non-compliance of one or more vendors, service providers or
customers. The actual impact on the Company resulting from non-compliance of
these entities cannot be determined at this time.

To date, the Company has expended an immaterial amount in conjunction with its
Year 2000 readiness plan. The Company further expects that the cost of
completing the Year 2000 readiness plan, including replacement of any necessary
computer systems, will not be material.
