Note 1Basis of Presentation



Tarantella, Inc., is a leading provider of Internet infrastructure software that enables web-based access to enterprise applications from virtually any
client device. Headquartered in Santa Cruz, California, Tarantella has development sites in the U.S. and UK and sales representatives in the U.S., UK, Germany, Australia, Mexico, Canada, France, Spain and Italy. Tarantella products are sold through
an integrated worldwide channel of Tarantella account executives, enterprise class distributors, value-added resellers, systems integrators and computer manufacturers. The Company has exclusive distribution relationships in Japan and China.



The Companys flagship product, Tarantella Enterprise 3,
has been installed in corporations and agencies worldwide, including customers such as the U.S. Department of Defense, Oracle, Bell South, Air China, Bank of America, Verizon, Publicis, Sun Microsystems, ABN-AMRO and NASA. Tarantella Enterprise 3
software was introduced to the marketplace in 2001. Earlier client integration products, which are part of the Vision2K Suite, have been selling since the late 1990s and are still available.



In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets and statements of cash flows include all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial condition
and results of operations as of and for the interim periods presented. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries after all material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The consolidated interim
results presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year. The September 30, 2002 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, and is included for comparative purposes. Certain reclassifications have
been made for consistent presentation.



The accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.



Going concern and managements plans



The condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net losses of approximately $2.6 million during the first
quarter of fiscal 2003 and $11.7 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Net cash used for operating activities was $2.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 and $5.1 million used in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The Company has
an accumulated deficit of $117.4 million as of December 31, 2002. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.



While growing Tarantella Products licenses and services revenues year over year, the Companys management has reduced
its operating expenses by 41% in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 over the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The Company is continuing to drive down expenses through its restructuring plans as described in Note 4. The Companys management believes
that, based on its current plans, its existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and funds generated from operations will be sufficient to meet the Companys operating requirements through fiscal 2003, however additional
financing may be required thereafter. Management cannot be assured that additional financing will be available when it is needed.

Note 2Recent
Accounting Pronouncements



In December 2002, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure (SFAS 148). SFAS 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation. Although it does not require use of fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation, it does provide alternative methods of transition. It also amends the disclosure provisions of Statement 123
and APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an entitys accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on
reported net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements. SFAS 148s amendment of the transition and annual disclosure requirements is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The amendment of
disclosure requirements of Opinion No. 28 is effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company will adopt this standard for its second quarter of fiscal year 2003. Unless the company elects to adopt the fair value
recognition provisions of SFAS 123, adoption of SFAS 148 will only require expanded disclosure to include the effect of stock-based compensation in interim reporting Beginning with the Companys quarter ending March 31, 2003.



In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Interpretation 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN45). The Interpretation elaborates on the existing disclosure requirements for
most guarantees, including loan guarantees such as standby letters of credit. It also clarifies that at the time a company issues a guarantee, the company must recognize an initial liability for the fair value, or market value, of the obligations it
assumes under the guarantee and must disclose that information in its interim and annual financial statements. The provisions related to recognizing a liability at inception of the guarantee for the fair value of the guarantors obligations do
not apply to product warranties or to guarantees accounted for as derivatives. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions apply on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company is in the
process of assessing the effect, if any, of FIN 45 on the Companys financial position and results of operations.



As discussed in Note 7, as part of the agreement between the Company and Caldera, the Company was a guarantor to various building leases expiring in 2005.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 the Company was released from its obligation as guarantor.



In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit
or Disposal Activities, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is
incurred. Under Issue No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost, as defined in Issue No. 94-3, was recognized at the date of an entitys commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and
recorded at fair value. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS 146 for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as
the amounts recognized.



In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 144, Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and addresses financial accounting
and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on October 1, 2002. The adoption of this statement did not have a
material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.



In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 addresses the recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition.
SFAS No. 142 also addresses the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets acquired outside of a business combination whether acquired individually or with a group of other assets. Goodwill and intangible assets previously recorded on
the Companys consolidated financial statements are affected by the provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 became effective for the Companys current fiscal year. As the Company does not currently have any goodwill or intangible assets,
this statement did not impact the Companys financial position or results of operations.

Note 4Accrued
Restructuring Charge



Fiscal 2003



During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company announced a
restructuring plan, which resulted in a charge of $1.1 million. The Company reduced its spending levels to align its operating expenses with the Companys continued lower than expected revenues. The restructuring included a reduction in
staffing of 25 employees and reserve for unused facilities at two of the Companys UK facilities.



A severance charge of $0.8 million included the elimination of 10 positions in the United States, 13 positions in the United Kingdom, and 2 positions in Italy. The reductions in work force affected the
product development, sales, marketing and general and administrative functions of the Company. As of December 31, 2002, all 25 positions had been eliminated.



A facilities charge of $0.3 million was related to space the Company vacated at two locations in the UK. This included a non-cash charge of $89,000
related to the write-off of leasehold improvements at the two vacated facilities.



The Company completed all of the cost reduction actions initiated in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003 during the quarter. Liabilities remain for lease obligation on the two facilities in the UK and for outstanding
severance payments to two employees.

A severance charge of $0.9
million included the elimination of 19 positions in the United States, 23 positions in the United Kingdom, and 10 positions in Japan. The reductions in force affected the product development, support, sales, marketing and general and administrative
functions of the Company. As of March 31, 2002, all 52 positions had been eliminated.



A facilities charge of $0.7 million was related to space the Company vacated. The Company had anticipated that it would sub-lease the space by December 31, 2002. As of September 30, 2002, the Company had not secured a
sub-lease tenant, so a provision adjustment of $0.6 million was made to reserve for the cost of this space through December 31, 2003. The lease on the building expires on June 30, 2005. In addition, a charge was taken for expenses associated with
office closures in Japan and Brazil. A non-cash charge of $39,000 related to fixed asset disposals at the Japan subsidiary.



The Company completed the cost reduction actions initiated in fiscal year 2002, with the exception of sub-leasing excess space at the Companys
corporate headquarters in Santa Cruz, California and closing a subsidiary in Australia.

Fiscal 2001



During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company
announced a restructuring plan which resulted in a charge of $1.6 million, which when taken with an adjustment to a previously established restructuring reserve, resulted in the net charge of $1.1 million. The restructuring charge included a
reduction in personnel of 28 employees and a reserve for unused facilities. Total cash expenditures were $1.6 million (see table below).

The $1.6 million restructuring
charge included a severance charge of $1.5 million for the elimination of 16 positions in the United States, 4 positions in the United Kingdom, and 8 positions in various other geographies. The reduction in force affected the sales, marketing and
general and administrative functions of the Company. As of September 30, 2001, all 28 positions had been eliminated. The Company vacated additional space within its Santa Cruz, California office in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, and an additional
charge of $81,000 was recorded for estimated payments on the lease for an additional 12 months. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, an additional charge of $85,000 was recorded because the facility is not yet sub-leased. The restructuring reserve
now covers rents through December 31, 2003. The Company believes it will be able to sub-lease the space by that date. The lease for this building expires on June 30, 2005.

During the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company announced a restructuring plan, which resulted in a charge of $0.5 million. The restructuring charge included a reduction in personnel of 10 employees and a planned elimination of offices in Singapore and
Australia. Total cash expenditures were $0.4 million.



The
severance charge of $0.4 million included the elimination of 4 positions in the United States and 6 positions in the United Kingdom. The reductions in force affected the sales, marketing and general and administrative functions of the Company. At
September 30, 2001, all 10 positions had been eliminated. A provision adjustment of $64,000 was made to release excess restructure reserve, which resulted from the fact that the Company had not anticipated the Australian office would be sub-leased.
The remaining reserve of $14,000 at December 31, 2002 relates to the facility in Australia, which the Company is in the final stages of closing.

Note 7Transaction with Caldera



On May 4, 2001, the Company consummated the sale of its Server Software and
Professional Services divisions to Caldera Systems, Inc. Under the terms of the transaction, Caldera Systems, Inc. acquired the assets of the Server and Professional Services groups. A new company, Caldera International, Inc., was formed which
combined the assets acquired from the Company with the assets of Caldera Systems. Upon the completion of the sale, the Company is continuing to operate its Tarantella business, and accordingly, changed its corporate name to Tarantella, Inc. and
Nasdaq trading symbol to TTLA to reflect the new corporate name.



As consideration for the transaction, the Company received 16 million common stock shares of Caldera International (representing approximately 28.2% of Caldera International), $23 million in cash (of which $7 million was received on
January 26, 2001) and a non-interest bearing promissory note in the amount of $8 million that was originally to be received in quarterly installments of $2 million beginning in August 2002.



As part of the original transaction, if the OpenServer line of business of the
Server and Professional Services groups generated revenues in excess of specified thresholds during the three-year period following the completion of the combination, the Company had earn-out rights entitling it to receive 45% of these excess
revenues. The transaction was treated as a disposal of Server and Professional Services groups and a gain of $53,267,000 was recorded upon completion of the transaction.



For the fourth fiscal quarter of 2001, the Companys operating results included 28.2% of the operating results of
Caldera International, adjusted for amortization of 5 months of negative goodwill of approximately $0.7 million. The net amount of the losses included was $4.6 million. In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2001, the Company also recorded an impairment of
the investment, net of the remaining negative goodwill of $7.8 million, in the amount of $22.5 million. The impairment was recorded as the share price of Caldera International was significantly below the fair market value of Tarantellas and
was deemed to be other than temporarily impaired.



During the
first fiscal quarter of 2002, the Companys net loss included equity losses of $4.0 million for its share of Caldera International losses. After recording this loss, the carrying value of the shares of Caldera International stock was reduced to
zero, in accordance with APB opinion No. 18.



During the second
quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company signed an agreement with Caldera International to redeem the $8 million note receivable held by the Company for $5 million, which was originally payable in four quarterly installments of $2 million each, beginning
in August 2002. A loss of $3,038,000 was recorded against the gain on Caldera transaction for the redemption of the note receivable.



Additionally, Caldera International agreed to the buyout of certain licenses for products bundled in older releases of The Santa Cruz Operation,
Inc.s software, and the buyback of 500,000 post split shares of Caldera International stock held by the Company for $555,000. On March 7, 2002, Caldera International executed a 1 for 4 reverse stock split. Accordingly, the shares held by the
Company were adjusted to reflect the stock split.



During the
third quarter of fiscal 2002, Tarantella announced an agreement with Caldera International for Caldera to repurchase the remaining 3,289,401 shares of Caldera common stock held by Tarantella. Tarantella recorded other income of $3,059,250 from this
transaction in the third fiscal quarter and subsequently received the cash in July 2002. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, the Company sold 4,010,417 post split shares of Caldera International stock for total proceeds of $4,360,938. As
of September 30, 2002, the Company no longer owns any securities in Caldera International. During the third quarter of fiscal 2002, Caldera also bought out the remaining term of the OpenServer revenue sharing plan that was part of the original
transaction, for $100,000, which was recorded as a gain on Caldera transaction. In addition, royalty reserves of $345,000 related to the original transaction were written off and recorded as a gain on Caldera transaction.



As part of the agreement between the Company and Caldera, various building
leases were assigned to Caldera International, however, the Company was a guarantor under such leases which expire in 2005. There were also buildings related to the agreement between the Company and Caldera, where the lease was assigned to the
Company and Caldera was a guarantor. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 the Company was released from its obligation as guarantor.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations



This Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations included in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. In addition to historical information contained herein, this Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks and uncertainties and can be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as estimates, projects, anticipates, plans, future, may, will, should, predicts,
potential, continue, expects, intends, believes, and similar expressions. Examples of forward-looking statements include those relating to financial risk management activities and the
adequacy of financial resources for operations. These and other forward-looking statements are only estimates and predictions. While the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the
Companys actual results could differ materially. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect managements expectations only as of the date hereof.



On February 14, 2002, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying it
that for 30 consecutive trading days the price of the Companys common stock had closed below the minimum bid requirement of $1 per share and that the Company had 90 calendar days to regain compliance with Nasdaq rules. If, by May 15, 2002, the
bid price of the Companys common stock did not close at $1 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days, the Company would be subject to de-listing from Nasdaq. On April 23, 2002, the Company applied to move to the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market. The Companys application for the Nasdaq SmallCap Market was accepted on June 4, 2002 and the Companys common stock is currently listed on Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Among other requirements, the listing maintenance
standards established by the Nasdaq for its Small Cap Market require that a companys common stock have a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share. On August 14, 2002, the Company received a letter from the NASDAQ giving the Company 180
days to comply with the $1.00 minimum bid rule, or face de-listing. The Companys shares are still subject to de-listing, however the de-listing review process was extended until approximately February 10, 2003. As of the date of this filing,
the Company has not received notification from the Nasdaq regarding the status of the de-listing.



Critical Accounting Policies



The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect
the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002 describes the significant
accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the three fiscal years in the period ended September 30, 2002. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported on our balance sheets and the amounts
of revenues and expenses reported for each of our fiscal periods are affected by estimates and assumptions which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for revenue, bad debts, product returns, certain accrued expenses and liabilities and a
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the condensed
consolidated financial statements.



Revenue Recognition



The Companys net revenues are derived from software
licenses and fees for services, which include custom engineering, support and training. In accordance with Statement of Position 97-2 Software Revenue Recognition we recognize revenue when the price is fixed and determinable, upon
persuasive evidence of an agreement, when fulfillment of our obligations under any such agreement is complete and when there is a determination that collection is probable. Our payment arrangements with customers primarily provide 30-day terms and,
to a limited extent with certain customers, 45, 60 or 90 day terms. In certain transactions, the Company does not have a reliable basis to estimate returns and allowances for certain customers or is unable to determine that collection of receivables
is probable. In such circumstances, the Company defers revenues at the time of sale and recognizes revenues when collection of the related receivable becomes probable or cash is collected and any potential returns can be reasonably estimated.



Returns and Reserves



The Company records a provision for product returns for related sales in the
same period as the related revenues are recorded. These estimates are based on historical sales returns, analysis of credit memo data and other known factors. If the historical data the Company uses to calculate these estimates do not properly
reflect future returns, revenue could be affected.

Income Taxes



Tarantella has operations in many countries other than the United States.
Transfer prices for services provided between the United States and these countries have been documented as reasonable, however, tax authorities could challenge these transfer prices and assess additional taxes on prior period transactions. Any such
assessment could require the Company to record an additional tax provision in its statement of operations.



Income tax assets and liabilities are determined by taxable jurisdiction. The Company evaluates net deferred tax assets in each tax jurisdiction by estimating the likelihood of the Company generating
future profits to realize these assets. The Company has assumed that it will not generate sufficient future taxable income to realize these assets and has created valuation reserves to reduce the net deferred tax asset values to zero.



Results of Operations



Net Revenues



The Companys net revenues are derived from software licenses and fees
for services.



Net revenues for the three months ended December
31, 2002 increased 27% to $3.6 million from $2.8 million in the same period in fiscal 2002. The increase in revenue performance, broken out geographically, was a $0.5 million increase in Europe and $0.4 million increase in Asia. All other regions
remained relatively flat. The increase in net revenues was mainly due to increased transactions size.



License revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2002 were $3.1 million compared to $2.5 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2002, an increase of 24% from the prior year. The increase is
attributed to an increase in the average transaction size as more customers move from pilot programs to deployment.



Service revenues increased to $0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002, from $0.4 million in the same period in fiscal 2002, an increase
of 43%. Service revenue was 15% of the total revenue for the first fiscal quarter of 2003, compared to 13% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in service revenues is the result of an increased percentage of customers purchasing
service contracts.



International revenues were 61% of total
revenues for the first fiscal quarter of 2003 and 50% for the same period in the prior year. For the three months ended December 31, 2002, one customer accounted for 15.2% of the Companys net revenues. For the three months ended December 31,
2001, one customer accounted for 21.1% of the Companys net revenues.



Costs and Expenses



Cost of license
revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2002 were flat at $0.1 million compared to $0.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2002.



Cost of service revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2002 remained flat at $0.3 million compared to the same period in fiscal 2002. Although
actual cost of service revenues remained flat, they declined as a percentage of service revenue, increasing gross margin from 33% in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, to 51% in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. The improvement in the services gross
margin is a result of higher revenue and lower costs due to headcount reductions and pay reductions of 15%.



Total cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 from 11% for the same period in fiscal 2002. Cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenue
was lower because of improved gross margins for service revenues.



Research and development expenses decreased 44% to $1.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 from $1.7 million in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2002, and as a percentage of net revenues were 27% and 62%, respectively. The
decrease in research and development expenses can be attributed to lower labor costs driven by lower headcount as a result of planned reductions in force. In addition, labor costs were lower because of a pay reduction of 15%.

##### Table of Contents



Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased 42% to $3.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 from $6.4 million for the comparable quarter of the prior year. The significant decrease in expenses is due mainly to lower labor costs that were driven by
lower headcount as a result of a planned reduction in force. In addition, labor costs were lower because of a pay reductions of 15% for employees in Marketing and General and Administrative departments and 7.5% for employees in Sales. Selling,
general and administrative expenses were also lower due to a $0.4 million decrease in bad debt expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues were 104% in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 and 226% in the same
period in fiscal 2002.



Restructuring charges for the three
months ended December 31, 2002 were $1.1, compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001. The Company has substantially completed these plans as of December 31, 2002.



Interest income, net was $32,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 and
$233,000 for the same period in fiscal 2002. The decrease in interest income, net reflects the lower cash balances held during the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Interest income was also lower due to a lower average interest rate for the period. In
the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the interest rate was approximately 6.0%. In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the interest rate was approximately 7.2% for cash and 10% for the Caldera Note.



Other expense, net was $14,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, compared
to $533,000 for the same period of fiscal 2002. The first quarter of fiscal 2002 included an investment impairment of $0.4 million, and expense for issuance of warrants of $0.3 million. These charges were partially offset by a gain of $0.3 million
for the sale of marketable securities.



Income tax provision was
$60,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to zero for the same period in fiscal year 2002. The tax provision for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 reflects foreign taxes payable.



Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 was $2.6 million compared to net
loss of $11.7 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2002. The decrease in net loss is primarily due to higher revenues and lower operating expenses.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $4.7 million at December 31, 2002, representing 42% of total assets. The decrease in cash and
short-term investments of $2.4 million from September 30, 2002 is due to operating losses. The Companys operating activities used cash of $2.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, compared to $5.1 million used for operating activities
in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The decrease in the cash used for operating activities is due to the significant reduction in operating loss from the first quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2003. The operating
loss was $2.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to a loss of $7.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Cash used in investing activities was $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to cash provided from
investing activities of $2.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The decrease in cash provided by investing activities was due primarily to the proceeds received from the sale of Caldera common stock of $2.2 million, which were included in
the results for the first quarter of fiscal 2002. There was negligible cash provided by or used for financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 or the first quarter of fiscal 2002.



The companys days sales outstanding (DSO) at December 31, 2002 was 73, a
decrease of 4 days from December 31, 2001. DSO is calculated using revenues for the quarter, and net accounts receivable at the end of the quarter. The decrease in DSO was due to improved collections. The past due accounts receivable decreased from
$0.7 million down to $0.2 million.



On February 14, 2002, the
Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying it that for 30 consecutive trading days the price of the Companys common stock had closed below the minimum bid requirement of $1 per share and that the Company had 90 calendar days to regain
compliance with Nasdaq rules. If, by May 15, 2002, the bid price of the Companys common stock did not close at $1 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days, the Company would be subject to de-listing from Nasdaq. On April
23, 2002 the Company applied to move to the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. The Companys application for the Nasdaq SmallCap Market was accepted on June 4, 2002 and the Companys common stock is currently listed on Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Among
other requirements, the listing maintenance standards established by the Nasdaq for its Small Cap require that a companys common stock have a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share. On August 14, 2002, the Company received a letter from
the NASDAQ giving the Company 180 days to comply with the $1.00 minimum bid rule, or face de-listing. The Companys shares are still subject to de-listing, however the de-listing review process was extended until approximately February 10,
2003. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not received notification from the Nasdaq regarding the status of the de-listing.

The Company has operating
lease commitments of $1.9 million in fiscal 2003. See note 10 of the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002 for operating lease commitments beyond fiscal 2003.



The Company has incurred net losses of approximately $2.6 million during the
first quarter of fiscal 2003 and $11.7 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Revenues have increased from $2.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 to $3.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Losses from operations were
$2.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2003, and $7.4 million for the first quarter of 2002. Net cash used for operating activities was $2.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 and $5.1 million used in the first quarter of fiscal 2002.
The Company has an accumulated deficit of $117.4 million as of December 31, 2002. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.



Since its release in fiscal 1997, annual Tarantella Products revenues have
generated positive year-over-year growth. Excluding Server Software, CID and related services, Tarantella Products license and service revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 increased 36% from the same quarter in fiscal 2002. While growing
Tarantella Products licenses and services revenues year over year, the Companys management has reduced its operating expenses by 69% in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 over the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The Company is continuing to drive
down expenses through its restructuring plans as described in Note 4 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.



The Companys management believes that, based on the Companys current plans, its existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments,
and funds generated from operations will be sufficient to meet its operating requirements through fiscal 2003. Additional financing may be required thereafter.



Factors That May Affect Future Results



Set forth below and elsewhere in this filing and in other documents the Company files with the SEC are risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statement in this filing.



The Companys operating results may fluctuate in future periods.



The results of operations for any quarter or fiscal year are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in future periods. The
Companys operating results have in the past been, and will continue to be, subject to quarterly and annual fluctuations as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to:



|- |  | Overall technology spending
|- |  | ---------------------------

|- |  | Changes in general economic conditions and specific market conditions in the Internet infrastructure industry
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|- |  | Rapid technological changes that can adversely affect the demand for the Companys products
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|- |  | Fluctuations in demand for the Companys products and services
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------

|- |  | The publics perception of Tarantella and its products
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------

|- |  | The long sales and implementation cycle for the Companys products
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------

|- |  | General industry trends and the potential effects of price and product competition in the Internet infrastructure industry
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|- |  | The introduction and acceptance of new technologies and products
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------

|- |  | Reductions in sales to, or loss of, any significant customers
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------

|- |  | The timing of orders, timing of shipments, and the ability to satisfy all contractual obligations in customer contracts
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|- |  | The impact of acquired technologies and businesses
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------

|- |  | The Companys ability to control spending and achieve targeted cost reductions
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|- |  | The ability of the Company to generate cash adequate to continue operations
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

|- |  | The potential loss of key employees
|- |  | -----------------------------------

|- |  | The Companys ability to attract and retain qualified personnel
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------

|- |  | Adverse changes in the value of equity investments in third parties held by the Company
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|- |  | The ability of the Companys customers and suppliers to obtain financing or to fund capital expenditures
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



As a consequence, operating results for a particular future period are
difficult to predict.

##### Table of Contents



The Company is exposed to
general economic and market conditions.



Any significant
downturn in the Companys customers markets, or domestic and global conditions, which result in a decline in demand for their software and services could harm our business. The state of the economy has had a negative impact on the
software industry. This could result in customers continuing to delay or cancel orders for software. Any of these occurrences could have a significant impact on the Companys operating results, revenues and costs and may cause the market price
of our common stock to decline or become more volatile.



The
Companys future operating results may be affected by various uncertain trends and factors that are beyond the Companys control. These include adverse changes in general economic conditions and rapid or unexpected changes in the
technologies affecting the Companys products. The process of developing new high technology products is complex and uncertain and requires accurate anticipation of customer needs and technological trends.



The Company depends on the development and acceptance of new products in a
rapidly changing market.



The market for the Companys
products is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolution of new industry standards, and frequent introductions of new products and product enhancements. The Companys success will depend upon its continued ability to enhance its
existing products, to introduce new products on a timely and cost-effective basis to meet evolving customer requirements, to achieve market acceptance for new product offerings, and to respond to emerging industry standards and other technological
changes. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in developing new products or enhancing its existing products or that such new or enhanced products will receive market acceptance. The Companys success also depends upon
its ability to license from third parties and to incorporate into its products new technologies that become industry standards. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to obtain such licenses on favorable terms or that it will
successfully incorporate such third-party technologies into its own products.



The Company anticipates new releases of products in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2003. There can be no assurance that such new releases will not be affected by technical problems or bugs, as is common in the
software industry. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that these or other future product introductions will not be delayed. Delays in the availability, or a lack of market acceptance, of new or enhanced products could have an adverse effect on
the Companys business. There can be no assurance that product introductions in the future will not disrupt product revenues and adversely affect operating results.



The Company competes in the highly competitive Internet infrastructure market.



The industry has become increasingly competitive and, accordingly, the
Companys results may also be adversely affected by the actions of existing or future competitors, including the development of new technologies, the introduction of new products, and the reduction of prices by such competitors to gain or
retain market share. The Companys results of operations could be adversely affected if it were required to lower its prices significantly.



Operating results for a particular quarter are difficult to predict.



The Company participates in a highly dynamic industry and future results could be subject to significant volatility,
particularly on a quarterly basis. The Companys revenues and operating results may be unpredictable due to the Companys shipment patterns. The Company operates with little backlog of orders because its products are generally shipped as
orders are received. In general, a substantial portion of the Companys revenues have been booked and shipped in the third month of the quarter, with a concentration of these revenues in the latter half of that third month. In addition, the
timing of closing of large license contracts and the release of new products and product upgrades increase the risk of quarter to quarter fluctuations and the uncertainty of quarterly operating results. The Companys staffing and operating
expense levels are based on an operating plan and are relatively fixed throughout the quarter. As a result, if revenues are not realized in the quarter as expected, the Companys expected operating results and cash balances could be adversely
affected, and such effect could be substantial and could result in an operating loss and depletion of the Companys cash balances.



It may be difficult to raise needed capital in the future.



The Company may require substantial additional capital to finance future growth and fund ongoing operations through the
remainder of fiscal 2003 and beyond. Although the Companys current business plan does not foresee the need for further financing activities to fund the Companys operations for the foreseeable future, due to risks and uncertainties in the
market place, the Company may need to raise additional capital. If the Company issues additional stock to raise capital, particularly at its current, low price per share, the Companys stockholders percentage ownership in the Company
would be diluted. Raising such additional financing may not be available when needed and, if such financing is available, it may not be available on terms that are favorable to the Company.

##### Table of Contents



The Companys revenues
may be affected by the seasonality of revenues in the European and government markets.



The Company experiences seasonality of revenues for both the European and the U.S. federal government markets. European revenues during the quarter ending June 30 are historically lower or relatively
flat compared to the prior quarter. This reflects a reduction of customer purchases in anticipation of reduced selling activity during the summer months. Sales to the U.S. federal government generally increase during the quarter ending September 30.
This seasonal increase is primarily attributable to increased purchasing activity by the U.S. federal government prior to the close of its fiscal year. Additionally, net revenues for the first quarter of the fiscal year are typically lower or
relatively flat compared to net revenues of the prior quarter.



Cost of revenues may be affected by changes in the mix of products and services.



The overall cost of revenues may be affected by changes in the mix of net revenue contribution between licenses and services, geographical regions and
channels of distribution, as the costs associated with these revenues may have substantially different characteristics. The Company may also experience a change in margin as net revenues increase or decrease since technology costs and services costs
are fixed within certain volume ranges.



The Companys
operational results could be affected by price variations.



The Companys results of operations could be adversely affected if it were to lower its prices significantly. In the event the Company reduced its prices, the Companys standard terms for selected distributors would be to
provide credit for inventory ordered in the previous 180 days, such credits to be applied against future purchases. The Company, as a matter of policy, does not allow product returns for a refund. Product returns are generally allowances for stock
balancing and are accompanied by compensating and offsetting orders. Revenues are net of a provision for estimated future stock balancing and excess quantities above levels the Company believes are appropriate in its distribution channels. The
Company monitors the quantity and mix of its product sales.



The Company is dependent upon information received from third parties in order to determine reserves for product returns.



The Company depends on information received from external sources in evaluating the inventory levels at distribution partners in the determination of
reserves for the return of materials not sold, stock rotation and price protection. Significant effort has gone into developing systems and procedures for determining the appropriate reserve level. In the event information is not received timely or
accurately, our ability to monitor the inventory levels will be affected and may negatively impact our business.



The Companys business depends upon its proprietary rights and there is a risk that such rights will be infringed.



The Company attempts to protect its software with a combination of patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws,
employee and third party nondisclosure agreements, license agreements, and other methods of protection. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy certain portions of the Companys products or reverse
engineer or obtain and use information the Company regards as proprietary. While the Companys competitive position may be affected by its ability to protect its intellectual property rights, the Company believes that trademark and copyright
protections are less significant to the Companys success than other factors, such as the knowledge, ability, and experience of the Companys personnel, name recognition, and ongoing product development and support. Further, certain
provisions of the Companys licenses, including provisions protecting against unauthorized use, copying, transfer, and disclosure of the licensed product, may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. In addition, the laws of
some foreign countries do not protect the Companys intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the U.S.

Risks of claims from third
parties for intellectual property infringement could adversely affect the business.



As the number of software products in the industry increases and the functionality of these products further overlaps, the Company believes that software products will increasingly become subject to
infringement claims. There can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against the Company and/or against the Companys suppliers of technology. In general, the Companys suppliers have agreed to indemnify
the Company in the event any such claim involves supplier-provided software or technology, but any such claim, whether or not involving a supplier, could require the Company to enter into royalty arrangements or result in costly litigation.



The Companys results of operations may be affected by
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.



Although
the Companys revenues are predominantly in U.S. dollars, substantial portions of the Companys revenues are derived from sales to customers outside the United States. Trade sales to international customers represented 61%, 50% and 53% of
total revenues for the first three months of fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001 respectively. The Companys revenues can be affected by general economic conditions in the United States, Europe and other international markets. Also, portions of the
Companys operating expenses are transacted in foreign currencies. The Companys operating strategy and pricing take into account changes in exchange rates over time. However, the Companys results of operations may be significantly
affected in the short term by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.



The Companys results of operations may be affected by the assessment of additional taxes.



Tarantella has operations in many countries other than the United States. Transfer prices for services provided between the United States and these
countries have been documented as reasonable, however, tax authorities could challenge these transfer prices and assess additional taxes on prior period transactions. Any such assessment could require the Company to record an additional tax
provision in its statement of operations.



The Companys
success largely depends upon its ability to retain and recruit key personnel.



The Companys continued success depends to a significant extent on senior management and other key employees. None of these individuals is subject to a long-term employment contract or a non-competition agreement.
Competition for qualified people in the software industry is intense. The loss of one or more key employees or the Companys inability to attract and retain other key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company.



The Company has undergone significant restructurings, which may have a
material adverse effect on operating results.



Following the
Companys divestiture of its server software and professional services divisions in May 2001, the Company undertook several restructurings of its worldwide operations. Each of the restructuring plans involved reductions in the Companys
worldwide workforce. The restructuring plans may not achieve the desired results, and may not improve the Companys future operating results. Completion of the restructuring plans may disrupt the Companys operations and may have a
material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company may also be required to implement additional restructuring plans in the future.



The Companys stock price is volatile.



The stock market in general, and the market for shares of technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price
fluctuations, which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. Strategic factors such as new product introductions, acquisitions or restructurings by the Company or its competitors may have a significant impact
on the market price of the Companys common stock. Furthermore, quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in the Companys operating results may have a significant impact on the market price of the Companys stock. These conditions, as well as
factors which generally affect the market for stocks of high technology companies, could cause the price of the Companys stock to fluctuate substantially over short periods.

The Companys common
stock may be subject to de-listing by the Nasdaq.



On
February 14, 2002, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying it that for 30 consecutive trading days the price of the Companys common stock had closed below the minimum bid requirement of $1 per share and that the Company had 90
calendar days to regain compliance with Nasdaq rules. If by May 15, 2002, the bid price of the Companys common stock did not close at $1 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days, the Company would be subject to de-listing
from Nasdaq. On April 23, 2002 the Company applied to move to the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. The Companys application for the Nasdaq SmallCap Market was accepted on June 4, 2002 and the Companys common stock is currently listed on Nasdaq
SmallCap Market. Among other requirements, the listing maintenance standards established by the Nasdaq for its SmallCap Market require that a companys common stock have a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share. On August 14, 2002, the
Company received a letter from the NASDAQ giving the Company 180 days to comply with the $1.00 minimum bid rule, or face de-listing. The Companys shares are still subject to de-listing, however the de-listing review process was extended until
approximately February 10, 2003. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not received notification from the Nasdaq regarding the status of the de-listing.



When notification is received, the Company will determine what action to take, including but not limited to the possibility
of an appeal. Possible grounds for an appeal may include the Companys decision to seek shareholder approval for a reverse stock split. The Company will ask its shareholders to grant discretionary authority to the Companys board of
directors to effect a reverse stock split of the Companys common stock at its annual meeting on February 27, 2003.



The Companys shareholders may not approve the reverse stock split, or if the reverse stock split is approved and completed, it may not result in a
sustained trading price for the Companys common stock sufficient to prevent de-listing. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to meet the Nasdaqs other listing requirements.



If the Companys stock is de-listed by the Nasdaq, it will be traded on
the Over-the-Counter (OTC) market. If this should happen, trading the Companys stock may become more difficult due to the limited trading activity on the OTC market. This could cause a further decline in the Companys stock price.
De-listing of the Companys stock from the Nasdaq or further declines in the market price of the Companys stock could greatly impair the Companys ability to raise capital through equity or debt financing.



The Company may never achieve profitability in the future.



Following the Companys divestiture of its server
software and professional services divisions in May 2001, the Company has not achieved profitability, and may never generate sufficient revenues to achieve profitability.



Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148,
Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure (SFAS 148). SFAS 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Although it does not require use of fair value method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation, it does provide alternative methods of transition. It also amends the disclosure provisions of Statement 123 and APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosure in
the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an entitys accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements. SFAS
148s amendment of the transition and annual disclosure requirements is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The amendment of disclosure requirements of Opinion No. 28 is effective for interim periods beginning after
December 15, 2002. The Company will adopt this standard for its second quarter of fiscal year 2003. Unless the company elects to adopt the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, adoption of SFAS 148 will only require expanded disclosure to
include the effect of stock-based compensation in interim reporting beginning with the Companys quarter ending March 31, 2003.



In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements
for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN45). The Interpretation elaborates on the existing disclosure requirements for most guarantees, including loan guarantees such as standby letters of credit. It
also clarifies that at the time a company issues a guarantee, the company must recognize an initial liability for the fair value, or market value, of the obligations it assumes under the guarantee and must disclose that information in its interim
and annual financial statements. The provisions related to recognizing a liability at inception of the guarantee for the fair value of the guarantors obligations do not apply to product warranties or to guarantees accounted for as derivatives.
The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions apply on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company is in the process of assessing the effect, if any, of FIN 45 on the Companys
financial position and results of operations.



As discussed in
Note 7, as part of the agreement between the Company and Caldera, the Company was a guarantor to various building leases expiring in 2005. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 the Company was released from its obligation as guarantor.

In June 2002, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ( SFAS) No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which addresses financial accounting and
reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including
Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under Issue No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost, as
defined in Issue No. 94-3, was recognized at the date of an entitys commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. The Company will adopt the provisions of
SFAS 146 for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the amounts recognized.



In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or
disposal of long-lived assets. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on October 1, 2002. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Companys
financial position or results of operations.



In June 2001, the
FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 addresses the recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. SFAS No. 142 also addresses the initial
recognition and measurement of intangible assets acquired outside of a business combination whether acquired individually or with a group of other assets. Goodwill and intangible assets previously recorded on the Companys consolidated
financial statements are affected by the provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 became effective for the Companys current fiscal year. As the Company does not currently have any goodwill or intangible assets, this statement did not impact
the Companys financial position or results of operations.
