NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Timeline, Inc. and
subsidiary (the Company) are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company's
management, the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial
information set forth therein. Results of operations for the six month period
ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of future financial
results.
Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the
interim financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB.
Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 1996,
previously reported.
Capitalized Software Costs
During the six months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company capitalized
$552,459 and $0, respectively, of software development costs related to its MV
Analyst and MV Server products. Amortization expense on capitalized software
costs for these same periods was $83,953 and $44,153, respectively.
Net Loss per Common and Common Equivalent Shares
For the six months ended September 30, 1996, net loss per common and common
equivalent share was based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during each period. Common stock equivalents include shares issuable
upon the exercise of outstanding stock options or warrants. These shares are not
included in the computation of net loss per share because the effect of
including such shares would be antidilutive.
2. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Changes in shareholders' equity for the period from March 31, 1996 to September
30, 1996 were as follows:
Shareholders' equity, March 31, 1996 $ 1,280,159
Issuance of common stock 2,553,425
Issuance costs (201,367)
Amortization of deferred compensation 29,982
Exercise of stock options 39,941
Net loss (1,782,621)
Foreign currency translation adjustment 3,034

---------------- ----------------
Revenues 1,303 1,409 (8)% 2,783 2,723 2%
- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The minimal decrease in net sales for the three months and minimal increase in
net sales for the six months ended September 30, 1996 over the same period
ending September 30, 1995, was attributable to a decrease in new license fees in
the second fiscal quarter of 1997 of $457 compared to the prior year period.
This decrease in new license revenue, management believes, is not reflective of
a weakness in the market in general, but is due to the failure of the US sales
team in meeting their objectives. Management believes this was caused by a
number of factors including the resignation of Timeline's Vice President of US
sales on July 31, 1996, the failure to close agreements with prospects by the
end of the quarter, and the diversion of time and effort to enroll potential
distributors of Timeline software which did not come to fruition until the
subsequent quarter. Management believes new license revenue will return to a
level approximating the level experienced in the first fiscal quarter of 1997
during subsequent quarters. European software license revenue generated in
fiscal 1997 was a positive addition as there was not a European office in
comparable periods of fiscal 1996.
Both consulting revenue and other revenue increased for the three and six months
periods ended September 30, 1996. This reflects additional work performed on the
continued installations of Timeline software and a significant contribution from
development work performed under contract with Microsoft Corporation.
Maintenance revenue increased 23% during the second quarter of fiscal 1997 as
compared to the same period of fiscal 1996. This is due to maintenance revenue
now being generated on contracts with users of MV Analyst(TM) and MV Server(TM)
which offset the expected continuing weakness in renewals of maintenance on the
Company's Digital-based software. The increase represents a reversal of a trend
of decreasing maintenance revenue over the last several years. Management
believes this positive trend will likely continue as maintenance revenue on its
MV Analyst(TM) and MV Server(TM) products offsets continued declines in the
Company's maintenance from its Digital installed base.

Percentage of revenues 59% 73% 66% 75%
- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company's gross margin varies in part depending upon the mix of
higher-margin software licenses and consulting and maintenance revenue which is
labor intensive. The decrease in gross margin between the three months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 of 25% is due primarily to lower software license
revenues in the 1996 period.
SALES AND MARKETING

Percentage of revenues 65% 26% 61% 27%
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sales and marketing expenses during the six months ended September 30, 1996,
increased 132% to $1,711 from $739 in the six month period ended September 30,
1995. This increase is due to the Company increasing the number of personnel in
these areas in an effort to increase direct sales. The increase is also due to
the Company's European office in England not being open in the six month period
ended September 30, 1995, therefore there were no expenses of this new office in
that period. The Company has shifted its emphasis from primarily direct sales to
combining this with channel sales through its new distribution partners. Due to
this move and the third quarter reduction in personnel in certain direct sales,
telemarketing, marketing and trade show support, the Company anticipates these
costs will be reduced in the future. The Company does anticipate increasing its
sales force in England.
In early September, the Company's introduction of a universal filter into its
desktop MV Analyst(TM) product has led to agreement in principal with several US
accounting vendors to distribute the product through the distributors' sales
force. While considerable joint sales activities will be involved initially to
train the distributors' sales forces and prove the value to their end users, the
goal is to mature these distributors into unassisted sales outlets.

- - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General and administrative expenses for the six month period ended September 30,
1996, have increased 21%, to $913, over the comparable period last year of $755.
The increase is primarily due to the addition of administrative personnel in the
Company due to the growth of its development, sales and consulting departments.
Also, in the six months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the same period in
the prior year, the Company had office space in Chicago and London and increased
office space in its Bellevue location, which contributed to higher expense. The
Company anticipates these costs to remain stable in the near future.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended

Research & development 483 185 161% 819 325 152%
Percentage of revenue 37% 13% 29% 12%
- - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Research and development expenses for the six months ended September 30, 1996,
increased $494, or 152% over the same period in the prior year. These increases
are attributable to increased development of the Company's desktop product, MV
Analyst(TM), and the filters associated with the Small Business Financial
Manager. The development of MV Analyst(TM) was commenced after the second
quarter of fiscal 1996, and as such, no expenses related to its development were
incurred in the six months ended September 30, 1995.
MV Analyst(TM) allows the Company to license a solution for financial reporting
on smaller data-sets of data from accounting systems without the need for MV
Server(TM). MV Server(TM) will remain a requirement for higher volumes of data
and to undertake certain processing of data such as consolidations, foreign
currency conversations, and allocations. When MV Server(TM) is required, MV
Analyst(TM) serves as the user interface on the desktop to display the results
of processing occurring on the MV Server(TM).

9
The newly introduced capability to market MV Analyst(TM) as a stand alone
product allows the Company to market to a much broader range of users at a lower
price. The Company believes MV Analyst(TM) as a stand alone product will be the
main attraction to potential distributors who require a more moderately priced
solution for use by departmental and smaller volume users.
Management anticipates the level of research and development expenses will
decrease in future quarters due to the fact initial product releases have
occurred. This trend could reverse if certain development contracts for third
parties are obtained or in conjunction with meeting the needs of distributors
where management deems it is warranted by product demand.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities decreased from
$391,716 at March 31, 1996 to $354,763 at September 30, 1996. The Company had
net working capital (excluding deferred revenue) of $1,298,930 at September 30,
1996.
The Company anticipates cash from operations and existing working capital will
be adequate to fund operations in the near term. However, it is imperative the
Company return to profitability or secure additional debt or equity financing
through public or private arrangements, with corporate collaborators, or other
sources. The Company is pursuing strategic alliances to facilitate the
distribution of its products and raise additional financing. Adequate financing
may not be available when needed or on terms acceptable to the Company.
When used in this report on Form 10-QSB, words such as "anticipates,"
"expects," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking
statements. Such statements are subject to risk, uncertainties and assumptions.
For example, adequate financing, as needed to fund the Company's operations,
may not be available or on terms acceptable to the Company. Similarly, sales
revenues may not meet management's expectations in the near term. These and
other circumstances and events, including some of which the Company may be
unable to anticipate, may cause actual results to vary materially from those
anticipated or expected.
