4. NET INCOME PER SHARE AND PRO FORMA DILUTED NET INCOME PER SHARE

      Effective December 27, 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings
per Share," which changes the method used to calculate earnings per share and to
restate all prior periods. The new requirements include a calculation of basic
earnings per share, from which the dilutive effect of stock options is excluded,
and a calculation of diluted earnings per share.

      Pro forma diluted net income per share amounts are based upon the weighted
average number of common shares and dilutive common equivalent shares for each
period presented and the pro forma conversion of preferred stock into common
stock up to the date of such conversion. Pro forma diluted weighted average
common and common equivalent shares include common stock, stock options using
the treasury stock method and the conversion of outstanding shares of preferred
stock into shares of common stock.

5. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

      For the years beginning after July 1, 1998, the Company will adopt SFAS
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." The Company is reviewing the
impact of such statements on its financial statements, and does not believe
these statements will have a material adverse effect on its financial
statements.

      For fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1997, the Company will adopt
Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition". The Company is
reviewing the impact of this Statement on its financial statements, and does not
believe this Statement will have a material adverse effect on its financial
statements.

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

      On April 27, 1998, the Company announced that its board of directors had
authorized a program, effective immediately, for repurchase of up to 500,000
shares, or 9.3%, of Kofax's outstanding Common Stock, to be used to fund stock
option exercises, employer equity compensation plans, and an employee stock
purchase plan. Repurchases may be made from time to time by the Company in the
open market or in block purchases in compliance with Securities and Exchange
Commission guidelines.

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

      The discussion in this Form 10-Q contains trend analysis and other
forward-looking statements regarding the Company, its business, prospects and
results of operations that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties posed
by many factors and events that could cause the Company's actual business,
prospects and results of operations to differ materially from those that may be
anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, (i) uncertainty
of future operating results, (ii) fluctuations in quarterly operating results,
(iii) dependence on a limited number of products for current and future
operating results, (iv) dependence on document image processing market and
component software strategy, (v) rapid technological change, (vi) the impact of
competition, (vii) dependence on intellectual property and proprietary rights,
(viii) risks associated with international sales, and (ix) dependence on third
party suppliers of scanners, as well as those discussed under the captions "Risk
Factors" in the Company's Prospectus dated October 10, 1997 which was part of
the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.
Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made
by the Company in this report and in the Company's other reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission that attempt to advise interested parties of
the risks and factors that may affect the Company's business.

OVERVIEW

      The Company designs and develops toolkits, and develops and markets a
family of image processing boards, KIPP and Adrenaline, that can be added to
personal computers to facilitate high-speed scanning of paper documents and
image enhancement. The Company also develops and markets two component
application software products, Ascent Capture, which facilitates the scanning
and indexing of documents, and Ascent Storage, which manages the storage of
document images on optical jukebox libraries. As a result of disappointing
revenue, the Company recently decided to discontinue NetScan, a network scan
server for workgroup scanning.

      The KIPP and Adrenaline family of products is expected to continue to
account for a majority of the Company's net sales for the next several years.
There is currently an ongoing product transition from the older KIPP series
accelerator boards to the Adrenaline series boards which began shipping in
September, 1997. The Company also expects that its Ascent products, together
with 


                                       8
<PAGE>   9
other products under development, will contribute an increasing share of the
Company's net sales in the future.

      The Company sells its products primarily through a channel of distributors
and resellers. The Company typically ships its products within a short period
after acceptance of purchase orders from distributors and other customers.
Accordingly, the Company typically does not have a material backlog of unfilled
orders at the end of any quarter. Revenues from hardware and software sales are
currently recognized at the time of shipment in accordance with AICPA Statement
of Position 91-1, Software Revenue Recognition. Distributors have certain rights
of return and exchange privileges. The Company's distributors generally do not
stock significant amounts of inventory of the Company's products, as these
products are typically incorporated by resellers into complete imaging and
document management systems which are configured shortly before scheduled
delivery to end-user customers. The Company records estimates for such rights of
return and exchange privileges based on historical experience. The Company
provides a warranty for its products against defects in materials and
workmanship. A provision for estimated warranty costs is recorded at the time of
sale. Payments under maintenance contracts are due at the beginning of the
contract; however, revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contract
which is typically twelve months.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997, AND
THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997

      The following table sets forth certain income and expense items as a
percentage of net sales for the periods indicated.

      Net Sales. Net sales represent gross sales less discounts, returns and
adjustments. Net sales were $8.5 million and $7.6 million in the quarters ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997, 


                                       9

respectively, an increase of 11.3%. This revenue increase was primarily
attributable to increased sales of the Company's Ascent component application
software products. Revenues from the Ascent software business increased 68% in
the March quarter over the same period last year. As a result, total software
revenue in the third quarter grew 82% and increased to 35% of total revenues
compared to 21% in the same period last year. Revenue from the NetScan product
line, which was recently discontinued, contributed less than 1% of revenue
during the quarter ended March 31, 1998. For the nine months ended March 31,
1998 and 1997, net sales were $24.4 million and $21.7 million, respectively,
representing an increase of 12.8%. The year-to-date revenue increase was
primarily attributable to increased sales of the Company's Ascent component
application software products.

      International sales (primarily to Western European countries) accounted
for 34.4% and 38.4% of net sales in the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, and 34.1% and 34.5% in the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively. Management expects that the Company's international
operations will continue to provide a significant portion of total net sales;
however, international sales could be adversely affected if the U.S. dollar
continues to strengthen against international currencies.

      Gross Profit. Cost of sales primarily consist of the costs of components
and subassemblies, labor and manufacturing overhead and, with respect to the
Company's software products, software duplication and royalty expenses. The
Company believes that its gross margins reflect the high content of proprietary
firmware in the Company's hardware accelerator boards as well as the increasing
percentage of total software revenue in the Company's product mix. Gross profit
was 77.1% and 74.7% of net sales in the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, and 76.3% and 73.0% of net sales in the nine months ended March
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Substantially all of the increase in gross
profit percentage in the March quarter was attributable to the Company's
increased software revenues. For the nine months ended March 31, 1998, most of
this increase in gross profit percentage was attributable to increased sales of
the Company's Ascent software products, which have higher gross margins, and to
a lesser extent, changes in accelerator board product mix and the declining
costs of DRAM components used in the Company's accelerator boards.

      Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses, which consist primarily
of salaries and commissions, customer support, trade shows, advertising and
other promotional expenses, were $2.7 million and $2.5 million, and 31.3% and
32.2% of net sales, in the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Sales and marketing expenses were $7.8 million and $7.0 million, and 31.8% and
32.2% of net sales, in the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The increases in fiscal 1998 


                                       10
<PAGE>   11
were primarily attributable to increased sales personnel, increased salaries and
commissions, and related occupancy expenses. The Company expects that sales and
marketing expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollar amounts and will
fluctuate as a percentage of net sales.

      Research and Development. Research and development expenses, which consist
primarily of personnel costs and related occupancy expenses, were $2.1 million
and $1.8 million, and 24.1% and 23.1% of net sales, in the quarters ended March
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Research and development expenses were $5.7
million and $4.9 million, and 23.5% and 22.7% of net sales, in the nine months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase in both periods of
fiscal 1998 was primarily attributable to increased engineering staffing and
increased contract labor costs. The Company expects that research and
development expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollar amounts and
will fluctuate as a percentage of net sales, depending upon the timing of
material research and product development projects.

      Despite the fact that the Company's net sales have increased, research and
development expenses as a percentage of net sales have continued to increase
because of ongoing research and development efforts related to the high software
content of the Company's KIPP and Adrenaline family of products and the
continued development of its Ascent application software products.

      General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist of
personnel costs for administration, finance, information systems, human
resources and general management, as well as professional services. General and
administrative expenses were $0.7 million and $0.5 million, and 8.5% and 6.9% of
net sales, in the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. General
and administration expenses were $1.9 million and $1.4 million, and 8.0% and
6.6% of net sales, in the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The increase in both periods of fiscal 1998 was attributable to
increased legal expenses, increased staffing in information systems and other
increases related to the administrative requirements of a public company. The
Company anticipates that it will incur increased general and administrative
costs in the future related to the additional insurance and administrative
requirements of a public company.

      Other Income, net. Other Income, net consists primarily of interest income
earned on the Company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments
less interest expense on the Company's note payable. As a result of the initial
public offering of the Company's stock, interest expense on bank borrowing was
eliminated due to repayment of the previously outstanding bank term loan.
Interest income was also higher as a result of investing the proceeds from the
offering.


                                       11

      Provision for Income Taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 38.5% for
the periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. The Company expects the effective tax
rate in future periods to not fluctuate significantly from this rate.

      Year 2000 Problems of Third Parties. It is possible that the currently
installed computer systems, software products or other business systems of the
Company's distributors, resellers, suppliers, manufacturers or customers,
working either alone or in conjunction with other software systems, will not
accept input of, store, manipulate and output dates in the Year 2000 or
thereafter without error or interruption (the "Year 2000 Problem"). The
Company's software products do not have any material Year 2000 Problems. In
addition, the Company has completed a review of its business systems, including
its computer systems, and based on information gathered to date, has determined
that such systems are also not subject to any material Year 2000 Problems. The
Company is querying its distributors, resellers, suppliers, manufacturers and
customers as to their progress in identifying and addressing Year 2000 Problems.
The expenses of the Company's efforts or the expenses or liabilities to which
the Company may become subject as a result of such problems, are not expected to
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations,
cash flows and financial condition.

      The Company's past operating results have been, and its future operating
results will be, subject to fluctuations due to a number of factors, including
the timing of orders from, and shipments to, major customers; the timing of new
product introductions by the Company or its competitors; variations in the mix
of products sold by the Company; changes in pricing policies by the Company, its
competitors or suppliers, including possible decreases in average selling prices
of the Company's products in response to competitive pressures; product returns
or price protection charges from customers; market acceptance of new and
enhanced versions of the Company's products; the availability and cost of key
components; the availability of manufacturing capacity; delays in the
introduction of new products or product enhancements by the Company, the
Company's competitors or other providers of hardware, software and components
for the document imaging market; dependence upon capital spending budgets; and
fluctuations in general economic conditions. As a result, the Company believes
that period-to-period comparisons of its results of operations should not be
relied upon as indications of future performance.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      As of March 31, 1998, combined cash, cash equivalents, and short-term
investments totaled $20.1 million, an increase of $14.6 million from June 30,
1997. Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.6 million, and was
generated primarily from net 


                                       12
<PAGE>   13
income before depreciation and amortization. Net cash used in investing
activities was $1.1 million, primarily purchases of property and equipment. Net
cash provided by financing activities was $11.8 million, as a result of the
proceeds from the Company's initial public offering.

      The Company financed its operations and capital requirements from 1986
through 1989 from the sale of approximately $4.0 million of preferred stock and,
thereafter, through cash flow from operations. In October 1997, the Company
completed its initial public offering selling 1,300,000 shares of its common
stock, and received net proceeds, after subtracting expenses incurred in the
offering, of approximately $12.5 million, $723,000 of which was used to repay
outstanding indebtedness.

      The Company has an unsecured $2.0 million revolving credit line with
Silicon Valley Bank (the "Bank") and as of March 31, 1998 had no outstanding
balance under the revolving line of credit. The Company signed an agreement in
January 1998 that renewed the line of credit through January, 1999. The line of
credit agreement requires the Company to maintain its primary banking
relationship with the Bank while any obligations to the Bank remain outstanding,
prohibits the incurrence of additional debt from sources other than the Bank,
except for purchases or leases of equipment up to $700,000, requires the Company
to maintain certain tangible net worth levels, current ratio percentages and
profitability levels and restricts the payment of dividends without the Bank's
prior approval.

      On April 27, 1998, the Company announced that its board of directors had
authorized a program for repurchase of up to 500,000 shares, or 9.3%, of Kofax's
outstanding Common Stock, to be used to fund stock option exercises, employer
equity compensation plans, and an employee stock purchase plan. Aside from this
program, the Company currently has no significant capital spending or purchase
commitments other than normal purchase commitments and commitments under
facilities leases.

      The Company believes that the net proceeds from the initial public
offering together with cash flow from operations, if any, existing cash balances
and credit available under the Company's existing credit facility, will be
sufficient to meet its cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.
