               -------------------------------

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
operations are included herein as Exhibit 99.3 to this report and are
incorporated herein by reference:

               Unaudited Pro forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of
               Operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 and the
               nine-month period ended September 30, 1999.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information included
herein as Exhibit 99.3 and incorporated herein by reference has been prepared by
combining the historical consolidated information of TSI International Software
Ltd. ("TSI") with (i) the historical information of Braid Group Limited
("Braid"), which was acquired by TSI on March 18, 1999 as previously reported in
TSI's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on April 4, 1999, as
amended by TSI's Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Commission on June
1, 1999 and (ii) the historical information of Novera.

The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on and should be read
together with the historical financial statements of TSI as of and for the year
ended December 31, 1998; the unaudited financial statements of TSI as of and for
the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, the Form 8-K/A dated March 18,
1999 and filed with the Commission on June 1, 1999 in connection with the
acquisition of Braid; the historical financial statements of Novera as of and
for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the unaudited financial statements of
Novera as of and for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 included herein as
Exhibit 99.2 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated information included herein as
Exhibit 99.3 to this report and incorporated herein by reference is based on
certain assumptions and includes the adjustments described herein and in the
notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information.

The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1998 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 included
herein as Exhibit 99.3 to this report and incorporated herein by reference were
prepared based on the assumption that the Novera and Braid acquisitions had
taken place on January 1, 1998. For accounting purposes, the Novera acquisition
will be treated as a purchase.

It should be understood that the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
financial statements do not necessarily reflect the actual consolidated
financial position or results of operations of the combined entities because,
among other factors, actual expenses related to or following the acquisitions of
Braid and Novera may be different than amounts assumed or estimated. The pro
forma condensed consolidated financial information is provided for illustrative
purposes only and may not necessarily be indicative of the financial results
that would have occurred had the acquisitions been effective on the dates
indicated, and should not be viewed as indicative of results of operations or
financial position of future periods.
