                                   Explanatory Note
                                           
This Form 8-K/A is being filed to revise Item 5 "Other Events" and Exhibit No.
99, as previously provided on Interleaf, Inc.'s Form 8-K filed September 30,
1997.

Item 5. Other Events

1997 Private Placement

    On September 30, 1997, Interleaf, Inc. (the "Company") completed a private
    placement transaction pursuant to which it received aggregate net proceeds
    of approximately $6.8 million (after cash fees to the placement agent and
    estimated transaction expenses) from the issuance of shares of the
    Company's 6% Convertible Preferred Stock ("Convertible Preferred Stock")
    and related placement agent warrants. Such transaction is referred to in
    this Form 8-K/A as the "1997 Private Placement," and the related securities
    issuances (including shares of the Company's Common Stock ("Common Stock")
    issuable upon the conversion of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, as
    dividends thereon and upon exercise of the placement agent warrants) are
    referred to as the "1997 Private Placement Issuances." All of the
    securities sold in the 1997 Private Placement were sold in a private
    placement solely to accredited investors. The offering is complete and all
    shares of Convertible Preferred Stock have been placed, subject to
    necessary shareholder approval as more fully described below.
    
    Certain provisions relating to the conversion of the Convertible Preferred
    Stock allow for their conversion at prices discounted to the trading price
    from time to time of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.
    ("Nasdaq") national market. Upon such conversion, these provisions will
    result in dilution to holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock.
    However, under the terms of the Convertible Preferred Stock, no conversion
    of the Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock is permitted for a
    period of 90 days from and after the closing of the 1997 Private Placement
    on September 30, 1997, so that no such dilution can take place for at least
    this period.

Subsequent Filings

    In accordance with Exchange Act Release No. 37801 (October 10, 1996), the
    Company will make the disclosures required under Item 701 of Regulation S-K
    in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q to be filed on or before November 14,
    1997.

Communications With Nasdaq

    By letter dated July 29, 1997, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that it
    no longer met the requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq 
    National Market. In letters dated September 5, 1997 and September 25, 
    1997, and as previously disclosed, Nasdaq informed the Company that in 
    order to prevent delisting the Company would need to complete the 1997 
    Private Placement and file this Form 8-K demonstrating compliance with 
    Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(3)(C) using pro-forma balance sheet with 
    June 30, 1997 as the base.

    As a result of the 1997 Private Placement, the Company is able to
    demonstrate such pro-forma compliance as shown in the pro-forma balance
    sheet included under Item 7 of this Form 8-K. Such pro-forma balance sheet
    has been prepared on the same basis of accounting as the Company's June 30,
    1997 unaudited balance sheet and assumes that necessary shareholder 
    approval has been received. As such, the Company complies with Nasdaq 
    National Market listing requirements on October 1, 1997, subject to 
    shareholder approval of the 1997 Private Placement issuance.



 

    The Company has made the following commitments to Nasdaq in connection with
    such continued listing:

     -   The Company will seek stockholder approval of the 1997 Private
         Placement in a special meeting to be held not more than 90 days
         after the closing of the transaction.
    
     -   The Company will reserve $1 million dollars from the proceeds of the
         1997 Private Placement for a period of 18 months after the closing to
         be used solely for purposes of funding the "Green Floor" which permits
         the Company to make cash payments in lieu of certain 1997 Private
         Placement Issuances. The Company will use the full $1 million to
         exercise the "Green Floor" in order to prevent to the extent possible
         dilution equaling or exceeding 20% of the total shares of Common Stock
         outstanding prior to completion of the 1997 Private Placement.
      
     -   Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the Convertible Preferred
         Stock will not be allowed to vote in the shareholder vote on the 1997
         Private Placement.

Stockholder Approval

    The Company intends to seek stockholder approval of the 1997 Private
    Placement at a special meeting called solely for this purpose to be held at
    the Company's principal executive offices at 62 Fourth Avenue, Waltham,
    Massachusetts on or about December 17, 1997. The record date for this
    special meeting has been set at November 17, 1997.

    If the transaction is not approved by the stockholders, the 1997 Private
    Placement will be unwound in part by redeeming, at a redemption price equal
    to 110% of the liquidation preference of the Convertible Preferred Stock,
    the smallest number of shares which is sufficient in the Company's
    reasonable judgement, such that following such redemption, conversion of
    the remaining shares of Convertible Preferred Stock will not constitute a
    breach of the Company's obligations under the applicable Nasdaq rules.
