                           September 30, 1996
                              (Unaudited)

                                   
1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES

     The consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 1996 and the related 
statements of operations for the three month and nine month and cash flows for 
the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 include the
accounts of The ForeFront Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries 
("ForeFront" or the "Company") and are unaudited.  All intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  

     These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the December 31, 1995 financial statements and related 
notes.  The unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of 
results for the interim periods presented and all such adjustments are of a 
normal recurring nature.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of 
results for a full year.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

     The Company considers highly liquid investments with a maturity of 3 
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.  At September 30, 1996,
the Company's entire investment portfolio consisted of U.S. government debt 
securities which mature October 3, 1996 and October 24, 1996, and are classified
as cash and cash equivalents. 

Purchased Software 

     Purchased software results from the acquisition of the assets of Blue 
Squirrel, Inc. (Blue Squirrel) in March 1996 and BookMaker Corporation 
("BookMaker") in June, 1996 and is recorded at cost.  Amortization is 
calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the
products, which in these instances are 18-24 months. 

Revenues

     Software licensing revenue is recognized upon delivery to the customer 
and the receipt and acceptance of a signed contract or order if there are no
significant post-delivery obligations.  For sales which provide for upgrades
for a one year period, the portion of the sale associated with the upgrade is 
unbundled and recognized as the upgrade is provided.  Maintenance contract 
revenues are priced separately and recognized ratably over the terms of the 
agreements.  Consulting service revenues, which include development and 
professional fees, are recognized as the services are rendered. 

Expenses

     The cost of maintenance, services and product licenses includes 
purchases of materials and labor costs associated with providing post contract
support.  Commissions on product sales are included in selling and marketing
expenses. 

Research and Development

     Research and development costs are expensed as they are incurred.  
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86, "Accounting for the
Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed," 
requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to 
the establishment of technological feasibility.  Based on the Company's product
development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion
of a working model.  Costs incurred by the Company between completion of the
working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release
have been insignificant. 

                               -6-

Net Loss Per Share

     The Company's net loss per share is based on the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding, adjusted as described as follows.  With one 
exception, common equivalent shares are excluded from the per share 
calculation, as the effect of their inclusion is antidilutive. Pursuant to 
Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletins, all common, 
preferred and common equivalent shares issued during the twelve months
preceding or in contemplation of the Company's initial public offering (using
the treasury stock method and the initial public offering price of $8 per 
share) have been included in the calculation of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding for all periods prior to 1996.

     Shares of convertible preferred stock are treated as if converted to 
common stock on the respective dates of original issuance.  In December 1995,
concurrent with the closing of the Company's initial public offering, all
shares of Series A and Series B Preferred Stock were converted into 1,462,953
shares of the Company's Common Stock at a conversion rate of one share of Common
Stock for every 2.26 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and one share of 
Common Stock for every 2.256 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.  All rights,
preferences and privileges associated with the Company's previously outstanding
preferred stock were terminated upon conversion.

2.   INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING 

     On December 26, 1995, the Company completed an initial public offering 
of 1,700,000 common shares at $8.00 per share.  Proceeds from the IPO were 
approximately $11,854,522 of cash, net of underwriting costs and other 
offering costs of $1,745,478.  The Company issued warrants to purchase 170,000 
shares of common stock at a price of $9.60 per share to the underwriters upon 
closing of the initial public offering.  The purchase price of the warrants 
was $.001 per warrant.  The warrants have a five-year term beginning twelve 
months from the date of the consummation of the initial public offering.  See
Liquidity and Capital Resources included elsewhere herein.

3.   MERGER

     On July 22, 1996, the Company consummated the acquisition of AllMicro, Inc.
("AllMicro") pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, 
dated as of July 19, 1996 (the "Merger Agreement") by and among the Company, 
AllMicro Acquisition Corporation, AllMicro and the stockholders 
(the "Stockholders") of AllMicro.  The acquisition was effected by way of a 
merger (the "Merger") of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company with and into
AllMicro.  As a result of the Merger, AllMicro became a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company.  The Merger was treated as a pooling of interests for accounting
purposes.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Stockholders received an 
aggregate of 1,056,152 shares of common stock, $.01 par value of the Company 
("ForeFront Common Stock"), ten percent of which was placed in escrow to 
satisfy claims of the Company that may arise for any breach of the 
representations and warranties made by AllMicro and the Stockholders in the 
Merger Agreement.  The escrow shares will be released upon the filing of audited
financial statements for 1996 by ForeFront, except for pending claims.

     The shares of the Company's Common Stock were issued to the Stockholders
pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(10) of the 
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").  The Stockholders 
have also been granted certain other piggyback registration rights under 
certain circumstances.  In addition, any sales of ForeFront Common Stock by 
the Stockholders must be in compliance with the volume limitations of Rule 
145 under the Securities Act.

     As a result of the pooling of interests, the accompanying consolidated 
financial statements give retroactive effect to the acquisition, and as a 
result, the consolidated financial statements are presented as if ForeFront and
AllMicro had been combined for all periods presented.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis Or Plan of Operation.

Overview

     The Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements 
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of 
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Actual results could differ materially 
from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number 
of important factors.  For a discussion of important factors that could affect 
the Company's results, please refer to the financial statement line item 
discussions below.  Readers are also encouraged to refer to the Company's 
1995 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the 
first and second quarters of 1996, previously filed, for further discussion 
of the Company's business and the risks and opportunities attendant thereto.

     ForeFront develops and markets Internet software which enables individuals
and organizations to be more productive with information.  ForeFront's Internet 
software allows users to get the maximum value from Internet information, by 
providing tools that effectively retrieve, manage and print information from
the World Wide Web. In addition, through its purchase of AllMicro, Inc.,
("AllMicro"), a direct telemarketing company, the Company republishes a 
number of software products for personal computer technicians and network 
administrators.  

     The Company launched its first two Internet products in 1995: GrabNet(TM),
a tool that enables client capture and organization of information from the 
World Wide Web (the "Web") (commercially released in July 1995), and 
WebWhacker(TM), a product that enables the storage of information captured from
the Web for off-line use and distribution (released commercially in 
December 1995).   The Company's third Internet product, RoundTable(TM), was 
commercially launched in mid-1996.  RoundTable provides realtime, Web-based 
multimedia conferencing over standard Internet connections.

     Through its acquisition of Blue Squirrel, Inc. ("Blue Squirrel") in 
March 1996, ForeFront added WebSeeker(TM), a meta searching program available to
Internet users that delivers search reports for over 20 common search engines
and the corresponding Web pages directly to the user's desktop (commercially 
released in September 1996).  WebSeeker is the result of ForeFront's new Salt
Lake City development team and integrating the technology of Blue Squirrel's 
main product, SqURL, with ForeFront technology.

     The Company's newest product, WebPrinter(TM) (commercially released in 
October 1996), is the result of the acquisition of BookMaker Corporation 
("BookMaker"). WebPrinter adds an important dimension to ForeFront's existing 
line of content retrieval and delivery tools, allowing users to print 
information on the Web in a booklet format, thereby creating a personalized 
publication from the Web. The BookMaker acquisition also added ClickBook(TM), a
Windows and Macintosh utility program that turns virtually any laser or inkjet 
printer into a printing press, enabling users to transform documents into 
professional-quality, double-sided booklets.

     The acquisition of AllMicro (now called ForeFront Direct, Inc.) established
an immediate channel of over 60 sales professionals for ForeFront to market its
family of Internet productivity products to Web users.  AllMicro's

                               -8-
<PAGE>

product line, which includes the AllMicro Anti-Virus(TM), The 
Troubleshooter(TM), The Discovery Card(TM), The CNE Self-Study Course(TM), LAN 
Certifier(TM),  Rescue Data Recovery(R) and WinWorks(TM), enables computer users
and technicians to troubleshoot, tune and enhance the performance of their 
networks and personal computers. 

     The Company delivers its products through multiple distribution channels, 
including electronic storefront and other online resellers over the Internet,
through original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), systems integrators, value
added resellers ("VARs"), catalogs, traditional software retailers and direct
telemarketing. Commencing in the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company launched
its Find It, Get It, Print It retail campaign and began retail distribution 
through Ingram Micro (wholesale), Egghead, Best Buy, CompUSA, MicroCenter and
other retailers.  The Company also intends to seek alliances with other computer
software companies to incorporate bundled versions of the Company's Internet 
products in the products of such other companies. The Company
recently opened an office in the United Kingdom to distribute its family of 
Internet products in the European markets.

Results of Operations 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 and 1996

     The Company's revenues increased 110% from $4,502,164 in the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 to $9,457,534 in the comparable 1996 period.  The 
Company's revenues for the 1995 period were primarily comprised of license 
revenue and maintenance and service revenues from the VNS product and direct 
sales of PC and utility software.  During the comparable period for 1996, the
Company's revenues were primarily comprised of license revenue from its 
desktop and collaborative products and direct sales of PC and utility software.

     The Company entered into various OEM and other licensing agreements with
several large established industry companies.  License revenue of $1,270,817 
was recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from such agreements.
Additionally, $124,808 of revenue related to these agreements has been 
deferred in accordance with SOP 91-1 for other insignificant obligations due
to the licensees.  This deferred revenue will be recognized over the terms of
the agreements, generally 12-36 months, from the time of execution.  In 
addition, $170,500 of license revenues which provide for upgrades for a one
year period have been deferred in the current period and will be recognized 
as the obligation is fulfilled.

     The Company's research and development expenses increased by 258% from 
$600,813 in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $2,149,832 in the 
comparable 1996 period.  The increase is primarily due to additional research
and development personnel for the Company's new Internet line of products and 
includes a one-time charge of approximately $410,000 due to the purchase of
several software licenses intended for future product development.  The 
Company expects its research and development expenses to continue to increase
during 1996, reflecting anticipated increased expenses related to increased
product development.

     Selling and marketing costs increased by 139% from $2,038,482 in the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 to $4,870,270  in the comparable 1996 period.  
The increase is primarily due to increased sales personnel and sales 
commissions, and the continued establishment and expansion of various 
distribution channels. The Company expects to increase its sales and marketing 
expenses as it expands marketing efforts in its current and future
distribution channels.

     General and administrative costs increased by 261% from $1,080,749 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $3,903,705 in the comparable 1996 
period.  The increase is due to increased personnel and recruiting costs, 
merger and acquisition activity as well as higher administrative costs as a 
result of becoming a public company.  This increase also includes a one-time 
charge of $1.56 million of transaction costs associated with the acquisition 
of AllMicro.

                               -9-
<PAGE>

     During March 1996, the Company acquired the assets of Blue Squirrel, a 
Utah based company, and during June 1996, the Company acquired the assets of 
BookMaker, a California based company.  The Company recorded the fair market 
value of net assets acquired, which included purchased software of $71,110 
and $66,900, respectively, and recorded a charge of $439,881 and $2,358,723,
respectively, for acquired research and development costs.

     During July 1996, the Company acquired AllMicro which was accounted for 
as a pooling of interests.  As a result of the Merger, AllMicro became a wholly
owned subsidiary of ForeFront. The accompanying consolidated financial 
statements give retroactive effect to the acquisition and the consolidated 
financial statements are presented as if ForeFront and AllMicro had been 
combined for all periods presented.

Three Months Ended September 30, 1995 and 1996

     The Company's revenues increased 137% from $1,514,838 in the three months 
ended September 30, 1995 to $3,593,750 in the comparable 1996 period.  The 
Company's revenues for the 1995 period were primarily comprised of license 
revenue and maintenance and service revenues from the VNS product and direct 
sales of PC and utility software.  During the comparable period for 1996, the
Company's revenues were primarily comprised of license revenue from its 
desktop and collaborative products and direct sales of PC and utility software.

     The Company entered into various OEM and other licensing agreements with
several large established industry players.  License revenue of $516,887 was 
recognized in the quarter ended September 30, 1996 from such agreements.  
Additionally, $69,083 of revenue related to these agreements has been 
deferred in accordance with SOP 91-1 for other insignificant obligations due to
the licensees.  This deferred revenue will be recognized over the terms of the
agreements, generally 12-36 months, from the time of execution. In addition, 
$58,000 of license revenues which provide for upgrades for a one year period 
have been deferred in the current period and will be recognized as the 
obligation is fulfilled.

     The Company's research and development expenses increased by 466% from 
$214,702 in the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $1,215,853 in the 
comparable 1996 period.  The increase is primarily due to additional research 
and development personnel for the Company's new Internet line of products and 
includes a one-time charge of approximately $410,000 due to the purchase of
several software licenses intended for future product development.  The 
Company expects its research and development expenses to continue to increase 
during 1996, reflecting anticipated increased expenses related to increased
product development.

     Selling and marketing costs increased by 160% from $774,223 in the three
months ended September 30, 1995 to $2,013,049 in the comparable 1996 period.  
The increase is primarily due to increased sales personnel and sales 
commissions, and the continued establishment and expansion of various 
distribution channels.  The Company expects to increase its sales and 
marketing expenses as it expands marketing efforts in its current and future
distribution channels.

     General and administrative costs increased by 484% from $420,738 in the
three months ended September 30, 1995 to $2,455,167 in the comparable 1996 
period.  The increase is due to increased personnel and recruiting costs, 
merger and acquisition activity as well as higher administrative costs as a 
result of becoming a public company.  This increase also includes a one-time 
charge of $1.56 million of transaction costs associated with the acquisition 
of AllMicro.

     During July 1996, the Company acquired AllMicro which was accounted for 
as a pooling of interests.  As a result of the Merger, AllMicro became a 
wholly owned subsidiary of ForeFront.  The stockholders received an aggregate 
of 1,056,152 shares of Common Stock, ten percent of which was placed in 
escrow to satisfy claims of the Company that may arise for any breach of the 
representations and warranties made by AllMicro and the Stockholders.  As a 
result of the pooling of interests, the accompanying consolidated financial 
statements give 

                                -10-
<PAGE>
retroactive effect to the acquisition and the consolidated
financial statements are presented as if ForeFront and AllMicro had been 
combined for all periods presented. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

     At September 30, 1996 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of 
$8,600,991 and working capital of $7,661,547.  The Company has financed 
approximately $5.4 million of cash used in operating activities from 1992
through September 1996, primarily through the issuance of approximately 
$957,000 of preferred stock in 1992, $1.6 million of common stock in 1993 and
$1.6 million of preferred stock and notes payable converted into
preferred stock and $11,855,000 of common stock in 1995.

     The Company believes that the net proceeds from the initial public 
offering in December 1995, together with available funds and revenues will be 
sufficient to meet its anticipated cash needs for operations, working capital
and capital expenditures through mid 1998.  Thereafter, if cash generated by 
operations is insufficient to satisfy the Company's liquidity requirements, the 
Company may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain 
credit facilities.  The sale of additional equity or convertible debt 
securities will result in additional dilution to the Company's stockholders.  
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such
capital when needed or on terms favorable to the Company.

     The Company's liquidity will be reduced as amounts are expended for 
continuing research and development, expansion of sales and marketing activities
and development of its administrative function.  The Company's liquidity 
could also be reduced if significant amounts were expended for equipment or to
license or acquire proprietary technology owned by others or to legally
defend its proprietary technology.  Additionally, depending upon market 
conditions or future business opportunities, the Company may decide to issue 
additional equity or debt securities for cash or to acquire assets or 
technology of others.  The working capital of the Company may also be used to
acquire such assets or technology, reducing the funds available for 
alternative use.

     As a result of the Company's limited operating history, the Company does
not have historical financial data for a significant number of periods on which
to base planned operating expenses.  Accordingly, the Company's expense levels 
are based in part on its expectations as to future revenues.  However, the 
Company typically operates with no backlog.  As a result, quarterly sales and
operating results generally depend on the volume and timing of and ability to
fulfill orders received within the quarter, which are difficult to forecast.
The Company may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate 
for any unexpected revenues shortfall.  Accordingly, any significant 
shortfall of demand for the Company's products and services in relation to 
the Company's expectations would have an immediate adverse impact on the 
Company's business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, 
the Company plans to increase its operating expenses to fund greater levels 
of research and development, increase its sales and marketing operations, 
develop new distribution channels and broaden its customer support 
capabilities.  To the extent that such expenses precede or are not 
subsequently followed by increased revenues, the Company's business, operating 
results and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.

     The Company expects to experience significant fluctuations in future 
quarterly operating results that may be caused by many factors, including 
demand for the Company's products, introduction or enhancement of products
by the Company and its competitors, market acceptance of new products, mix 
of distribution channels through which products are sold, mix of products and 
services sold, and general economic conditions.  As a result, the Company 
believes that period-to-period comparisons of its results of operations are 
not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as any indication of 
future performance.  Due to all of the foregoing factors, it is likely that 
in some future quarter the Company's operating results will be below the 
expectations of public market analysts and investors.  In such event, the price
of the Company's Common Stock would likely be materially adversely affected.
