BUSINESS OVERVIEW Restrac, Inc. ("the Company"), designs, develops, markets, implements and supports HR staffing software and services to automate the recruitment, selection and placement of an organization's workforce. The Company's staffing solutions enable organizations to strategically manage their human capital by reducing hiring and placement costs, decreasing time to fill positions and providing more effective skills management and worker deployment. The Company's products--RESTRAC HIRE and RESTRAC WEBHIRE-- provide HR departments with solutions to propagate information about their job openings, and quickly and efficiently build and search comprehensive "pools" of resumes to find the workers they need, while also managing the workflow of the staffing process. These products are primarily licensed by corporate employers experiencing accelerated growth, a scarcity of skilled labor, significant reorganization or downsizing, or by companies reengineering their HR function to reduce costs. The Company's RESTRAC HIRE product is a client/server application that is sold on a license fee basis. RESTRAC WEBHIRE is an Internet-based service which is sold on a subscription basis and which is accessed by customers via the Internet, using a world wide web browser. Both products support Microsoft Windows and standard industry communications protocols, such as TCP/IP, allowing for high performance, scaleable implementations. The Company was incorporated in 1982 as a Massachusetts corporation and was reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in 1994. Restrac Securities Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Restrac, Inc., was incorporated in September, 1996 as a Massachusetts securities corporation for the purpose of holding and managing certain of the Company's cash and investments. INDUSTRY BACKGROUND The strategic management of workforce skills, or "human capital", is increasingly viewed as a business imperative and has emerged in recent years as a key element of corporate strategy. Recruiting and deploying the most qualified employees is now being recognized as critical to an organization's long-term success. In addition, intensifying global competition, shortened product lifecycles and the need to improve operating efficiencies have caused organizations to search for more efficient ways to employ and deploy a more dynamic and skilled workforce. As a result, HR departments have come under increasing pressure to improve the quality of the candidates they hire, to shorten the time to fill open positions and to reduce the costs associated with staffing. Historically, the recruitment, hiring and deployment of an organization's workforce has been an inefficient, expensive and time-consuming process. These costs and inefficiencies are due in large part to the difficulty that organizations have in managing data on workers' skills and to a complex staffing process 2 which typically involves significant data collection, numerous manual functions and the coordination of activities among many participants both within and outside the organization. Organizations need to collect and manage extensive skills data on their own employees and on a large applicant pool in order to manage hiring, redeployment, attrition, turnover and growth. Historically, organizations seeking to fill a position would receive numerous applications and resumes that were, once the position had been filled, either discarded or stored in a manner that did not allow the organization to effectively access and search this data when it sought to fill additional positions in the future. In order to address the challenges of hiring and deploying workers, HR departments have begun to automate the staffing process. Until recently, the only staffing software applications available were applicant tracking systems, which automated record-keeping functions and did not offer workflow or resume searching capabilities. The development of distributed client/server computing and enabling technologies such as document scanning, optical character recognition (OCR) and concept-based text searching created a technological framework for the efficient collection of staffing information and its dissemination among recruiters, managers and, with the emergence of the Internet and corporate intranets, other members of the extended enterprise. Client/server technology not only permits any member of the organization to effectively collect information relating to a particular job, applicant or employee, but also gives other members of the organization in geographically dispersed locations rapid access to that information and enables them to participate in the hiring process. The emergence of Internet career sites is another dramatic recent development which creates a significant new forum for sourcing candidates. Organizations are increasingly turning to advertising on the Internet as an alternative to traditional print advertising. This has resulted in an increase in the number of resumes that are received electronically, and driven the need for tools to manage these responses. As more and more Internet job advertising sites are created, the administrative challenge of managing the posting of a company's positions to these sites also becomes more acute. The emergence of these new technologies, together with the increased emphasis on the strategic management of human capital, and a tightening labor market, have created a demand for a new generation of human resource staffing systems. THE RESTRAC SOLUTION The Company's staffing solutions enable organizations to strategically manage their human capital by reducing hiring and placement costs, decreasing the time it takes to fill positions and providing more effective skills management and worker deployment. The Company provides HR departments with solutions that quickly and efficiently allow position information to be posted to multiple Internet sites, manage the responses that these postings and print advertising generate, build and search comprehensive electronic pools of resumes to find the workers they need, and manage the workflow of the staffing process. Key attributes of the Restrac solutions are as follows: COMPREHENSIVE, REUSABLE CANDIDATE POOLS. The Company's software uses resume scanning and integrated e-mail input from intranets or the Internet to create consolidated, reusable candidate pools that can be shared throughout the organization. Manual input is virtually eliminated, allowing organizations to collect and store skills and experience data on hundreds of thousands of candidates. The Company's software is designed to provide a shared, re-useable pool of candidates, reducing the need for organizations to use employment agencies and advertising to source candidates. SOPHISTICATED SKILLS MANAGEMENT AND SELECTION. The Company's software uses a sophisticated search process to rapidly identify and rank qualified candidates based on skills criteria determined by the user. User searches are enhanced by the Company's integrated skills library, which translates high-level job requirements into the words and synonyms commonly used by candidates on resumes. These same 3 capabilities facilitate the quick and efficient management and redeployment of an organization's existing workforce in response to job openings, downsizings and restructurings. OPEN, RAPIDLY DEPLOYABLE AND SCALEABLE TECHNOLOGY. The Company's software is based on open, client/server and Internet architectures that support industry standards, such as Microsoft Windows and most leading relational databases, server platforms, e-mail systems and desktop productivity tools. The Company's software is scaleable from the departmental level to multi-site, enterprise-wide implementations and is designed to easily incorporate new technologies as they become available. REDUCED COSTS. By providing an easily-accessible, shared, re-useable pool of candidates, the Company's software allows organizations to significantly reduce recruitment advertising costs and employment agency fees. In addition, the Company's software is designed to reduce HR headcount and increase recruiter productivity through the elimination of manual entry of resume information and by increasing the efficiency of the hiring process. MORE EFFICIENT STAFFING PROCESS. The Company's client/server software incorporates a user-friendly, process-oriented GUI and is designed to reduce the time required to fill positions by prompting users to advance candidates through the staffing process. Such automatic workflow notifications reduce delays typical to the staffing process and eliminate redundancies. The Company's software also integrates with e-mail to facilitate access to and participation in the staffing process. The Company's client/server software can be easily adapted by the customer to its own staffing requirements without extensive customization. STRATEGY The Company's objective is to maintain its leadership position as a provider of automated human resource staffing solutions. The Company's RESTRAC HIRE product has achieved a leading market position among large organizations (2,500+ employees), which are estimated to represent over 15,000 companies in the United States alone. The introduction of RESTRAC WEBHIRE is intended to make the Company's solutions available to smaller organizations with 100 to 2,500 employees (of which there are estimated to be over 100,000 in the United States). Further, the Company believes that the growing globalization of the workforce combined with the increasing standardization of regulations across the European Community will provide it with significant opportunities to continue its international expansion. The Company currently markets its software in Canada and the United Kingdom. The Company has established a number of relationships both to leverage marketing channels and complementary technologies and to meet customer demands for open, integrated, multi-vendor solutions. The Company's partners include leading technology vendors such as Verity, Inc. which, as part of an OEM relationship, provides its text search software for integration with the Company's internally-developed skills library. The Company also has a relationship with PeopleSoft, a leading HR management system vendor. The Company believes that its strategic relationships allow it to bring products to market more quickly and enhance its image as a provider of industry standard automated staffing products. The Company intends to continue to pursue the establishment of such relationships to take advantage of emerging technologies and marketing opportunities. PRODUCTS The Company's principal products have been RESTRAC HIRE and RESTRAC RESUME READER FOR PEOPLESOFT, which is sold for use in conjunction with the PeopleSoft HR product. The Company released RESTRAC WORKBENCH FOR MANAGERS and RESTRAC HIRE LINK FOR PEOPLESOFT during fiscal 1997, and invested a significant portion of its research and development efforts during fiscal 1997 and 1998 on the November 1997 release of RESTRAC WEBHIRE and the June 1998 release of RESTRAC HIRE FOR INTRANET. 4 RESTRAC HIRE The Company's RESTRAC HIRE product automates the applicant sourcing and selection functions in the staffing process and supports industry standards such as Microsoft Windows and most leading relational databases (including Oracle, Microsoft SQLServer and Sybase), server platforms (including Windows NT and many UNIX variants), e-mail systems (including Microsoft's Mail and Lotus cc:Mail) and desktop productivity tools (including Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word). System prices vary based on a customer's configuration. Maintenance for the first year is included in the license fee and is renewable on an annual basis thereafter, at approximately 15% of the license fee. The latest version of RESTRAC HIRE, RESTRAC HIRE FOR INTRANET, introduced during Fiscal 1998, is based on three-tier client/server architecture which will enable deployment over corporate intranets. This product builds on the functionality of RESTRAC HIRE. The new three-tier technical architecture is designed for easier access, easier extension, open connectivity, and convenient Internet integration. RESTRAC HIRE FOR INTRANET is also explicitly designed for internationalization. RESTRAC WEBHIRE RESTRAC WEBHIRE is an Internet-based candidate sourcing and management service introduced by the Company in November 1997. Customers enter their job openings into WebHire, and choose where they would like to post their jobs by selecting from a menu of available Internet job posting destinations. Resumes from interested candidates are received electronically, or on paper. The Company performs all resume processing and scanning, hosting and administration, and system maintenance at its RESTRAC WEBHIRE data centers. The Company maintains a private applicant database with resumes it receives from the customer or directly from applicants on the customer's behalf. Using passwords, recruiters will access their private, continuously updated applicant pool via the Internet from a world-wide web browser to perform candidate searches. RESTRAC WEBHIRE employs the same powerful concept-based searching as RESTRAC HIRE. After selecting a short list of candidates, recruiters manage the progress of applicants through the recruiting process, and can prepare status reports, or annotate individual resumes and forward them to colleagues via electronic mail. RESTRAC WEBHIRE is intended to allow smaller, rapidly-growing organizations to take advantage of the Company's technologies without the associated infrastructure investment necessary to support a client/ server application. RESTRAC RESUME READER FOR PEOPLESOFT The Company's open architecture, which accommodates integration with other HR software solutions, has allowed the Company to create a plug-in product that offers high volume resume-scanning, skills management and search capabilities to users of PeopleSoft's HRMS product. RESTRAC RESUME READER FOR PEOPLESOFT incorporates the Skill Server and Candidate Finder modules of RESTRAC HIRE. RESTRAC HIRE LINK FOR PEOPLESOFT RESTRAC HIRE LINK FOR PEOPLESOFT is an add-on module that integrates the full functionality of RESTRAC HIRE with the PeopleSoft HRMS application suite. RESTRAC HIRE LINK FOR PEOPLESOFT eliminates the need to re-key data when a candidate is hired from within the Restrac system or if an existing employee is proposed for an internal position. The data is shared seamlessly between the two systems. The link also synchronizes the common tables individually maintained within each system to ensure data integrity and significantly reduce the administrative burden of maintaining two systems. RESTRAC WORKBENCH FOR MANAGERS This product was developed in response to the increasing dispersion of the staffing process outside of HR departments. With RESTRAC WORKBENCH FOR MANAGERS, hiring managers in companies using RESTRAC HIRE 5 can use Lotus Notes or a web browser to participate directly in certain functions of the staffing process, including opening a requisition, reviewing resumes online, managing team interviews and initiating a job offer. Such self-service solutions should significantly expand the Company's potential user-base while further reducing the administrative demand on HR departments. CUSTOMER SERVICES The Company believes that superior customer service and support are critical to customer satisfaction. As of September 30, 1998, the Company's customer service organization included 63 employees, providing Professional Services, Technical Support and Outsourced Services. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES. The Professional Services Group manages system implementation, provides additional services such as process design and system tailoring and provides basic and advanced training both on-site during system implementation and at the Company's Corporate Training Centers throughout the year. TECHNICAL SUPPORT. The Technical Support Group provides daily assistance to customers with maintenance agreements through the Company's support help line. More than 95% of customers who have purchased the Company's client/server, Windows-based products since their introduction are currently under maintenance agreements. The Company provides support Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m.-8:00 p.m. Eastern Time as well as 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Greenwich Time to support the Company's European customers. OUTSOURCED SERVICES. Outsourced Services were introduced by the Company in July 1996 and, to date, consist primarily of scanning services provided principally through third-party arrangements. The Company has extended these services to include correspondence generation. TECHNOLOGY In 1993, the Company introduced RESTRAC HIRE, the industry's first Windows-based client/server staffing system. The Company's RESTRAC HIRE software is based on the Company's unique client/server development platform, which can accommodate changing customer needs and technical infrastructure, simplify the deployment of the Company's client/server software, and enable the rapid integration of leading edge technologies and other innovations. Key aspects of the RESTRAC HIRE platform are as follows: DATA MODEL. The Company's software includes an open, flexible and extensible model for enterprise staffing that can operate in multiple standard SQL databases. The model incorporates the Company's expertise in staffing process modeling and allows for effective workflow and third-party integration. CENTRALIZED ADMINISTRATION AND SECURITY. The Company's development platform includes functionality for application deployment and version control, reducing costs through centralized management by allowing the application to be configured and updated automatically from a central location. The Company's products also include security features to control user access. Access to information and functionality is configured based on the user's login, allowing users to access their recruiting desktop from anywhere in the system and further securing against unauthorized access. SUPPORT FOR HETEROGENEOUS COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS. The Company's development platform is designed to enable applications developed on the platform to operate in diverse computing environments. The platform supports Microsoft Windows on the client as well as leading relational databases (Oracle, Microsoft SQLServer and Sybase) and server platforms (including Windows NT and many UNIX variants). The Company's products use the industry-standard TCP/IP protocol, which allows the Company to develop applications which operate over local area networks, wide area networks, intranets and the Internet. 6 ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION. The Company has designed its development platform to facilitate the integration of advanced technologies while insulating the user from the complexities associated with multiple interfaces, import/export utilities and switching between different applications. RESTRAC WEBHIRE RESTRAC WEBHIRE, the Company's Internet-based service offering, is based on open, extensible Internet development tools. It makes wide use of standard Microsoft technologies, including Microsoft foundation classes, ActiveX, distributed common object model (DCOM), Microsoft Internet Information Server, Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Windows NT Server. This adherence to standard Microsoft technologies ensures that RESTRAC WEBHIRE can be scaled as demand for the service increases. Client access to the WebHire system is provided through either Microsoft or Netscape world-wide web browsers. RESTRAC HIRE FOR INTRANET RESTRAC HIRE FOR INTRANET, which was released in June of 1998, is a Microsoft Windows-based application which operates over a standard TCP/IP intranet connection. The application server component of the product utilizes Microsoft Windows NT Server and Microsoft Internet Information Server. Client access is provided via both a Windows application and a browser interface which is compatible with Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows NT. The Company believes that this innovative architecture combines the functionality of a traditional client/server application with the easy deployability of an intranet application. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT The Company believes that its future success will depend upon its ability to enhance its existing software and develop and introduce new products and functions which keep pace with rapid changes in the marketplace. The Company has made increasing investments in its engineering and quality groups to broaden its product and service offerings, enhance product functionality, improve performance and expand the ability of its software to interoperate with third-party software. Research and development expenses totaled (in thousands) $5,588, $5,446 and $2,341 for fiscal years 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively. While the Company expects that certain of its new products and functions will be developed internally, the Company may, based on timing and cost considerations, expand its product offerings through acquisitions or strategic relationships. Software products as complex as those currently under development by the Company are subject to frequent delays and there can be no assurance that the Company will not encounter difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful and timely development, introduction and marketing of these potential new products. SALES AND MARKETING The Company markets its enterprise products and services through a direct sales force in North America and the United Kingdom. The Company supports its sales force through comprehensive marketing programs which include public relations, direct mail, advertising, seminars, trade shows, ongoing customer communication programs and strategic relationships. While the sales cycle varies from customer to customer, it typically spans four to nine months from generation of a lead from one of these sources to execution of a license agreement. The Company's direct sales force is structured regionally and is managed through sales and service offices in Lexington, Massachusetts, Foster City, California, Chicago, Illinois and Reading, U.K. and through sales personnel located in Dallas, New Jersey, Maryland, Raleigh, Seattle, and Toronto. During Fiscal 1998 the Company marketed RESTRAC WEBHIRE through telesales representatives. In Fiscal 1999 the Company will enhance the marketing of RESTRAC WEBHIRE through the addition of a direct 7 sales force. The average sales cycle for this service is substantially shorter than that experienced for the Company's enterprise products. CUSTOMERS Since the introduction of RESTRAC HIRE in 1993, the Company has licensed its client/server, Windows-based staffing software to over 375 customers. The following is a partial listing of the Company's customers as of September 30, 1998: FINANCIAL SERVICES AIM Management Group American Express Bank of America BankBoston Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation First Union Merrill Lynch M&T Bank Nationsbank Putnam Investments Union Bank Visa USA The World Bank PUBLISHING/ENTERTAINMENT Blockbuster Entertainment Gannett The New York Times Paramount Pictures ENGINEERING/CONSULTING CH2M Hill Kelly Services Logica Mason & Hanger BIOTECHNOLOGY/HEALTHCARE/ PHARMACEUTICALS Abbott Laboratories Amgen Bausch & Lomb Baxter International Bristol Myers Squibb Genentech Genzyme Johnson & Johnson The Mayo Clinic Memorial Sloan Kettering Millennium Pharmaceuticals PacifiCare Pfizer SmithKline Beecham INSURANCE Aetna Life and Casualty Blue Cross/Blue Shield Cigna John Hancock Occidental Insurance Phoenix Home Life Prudential The Travelers TECHNOLOGY/COMMUNICATIONS Ascend Communications, Inc.

Toys R' Us Williams Sonoma STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS The Company has established a number of relationships both to leverage marketing channels and complementary technologies and to meet customer demands for open, integrated, multi-vendor solutions. Strategic partners are categorized into four groups: Technology Partners, who provide the Company with innovative technologies that are integrated into the Company's products; Applications Partners, who provide the Company's customers with value-added software, consulting or other services that are complementary to the Company's software and services and that enable the Company's customers to better utilize the Company's software; Service and Implementation Partners, who extend the Company's support, implementation and service offerings by delivering the specialized services our customers need; and Internet/Information Partners, who provide the Company's customers with the ability to access and 8 distribute crucial staffing information, including job postings, candidate information, and resumes, often via the Internet. Examples of the Company's strategic partners include: VERITY, INC. The Company's software incorporates the text search software tools developed by Verity, Inc., a Technology Partner, which allows Restrac clients to search through vast amounts of candidate and job data, delivering only the most relevant information directly to the desktop. PEOPLESOFT, INC. PeopleSoft, Inc., a leading worldwide provider of human resource software, is an Applications Partner. The Company's RESTRAC RESUME READER FOR PEOPLESOFT product integrates the Company's high-volume resume-scanning, skills management and search technology with PeopleSoft's HRMS product, while RESTRAC HIRE LINK FOR PEOPLESOFT integrates the full functionality of Restrac Hire with the PeopleSoft HRMS product suite. Both RESTRAC HIRE and RESTRAC HIRE LINK FOR PEOPLESOFT have formally received the PeopleSoft Partner Integration Team certification. SAZTEC INTERNATIONAL. SAZTEC International, a leading provider of information management services, is a certified Restrac scanning partner. As such, SAZTEC provides the Company with additional capacity and technical expertise in outsourced document conversion to support this growing component of the Company's business. COMPETITION The marketplace for staffing solutions is intensely competitive and is rapidly changing. The Company encounters direct competition from a number of companies providing human resource staffing solutions, including (i) other human resource staffing software companies, (ii) providers of general human resource information systems, (iii) agencies providing or sourcing full-time, contract and temporary labor, (iv) information systems departments of potential prospects that develop custom software, (v) providers of other client/server application software or document management systems and (vi) Internet-based staffing solution providers. The Company's primary direct competitor in the enterprise market is Resumix, Inc. The Company also competes directly against other providers of human resource staffing software, most of which are small privately held companies providing less functional products at lower prices. In addition, vendors of general human resource information systems generally include applicant tracking modules in their offerings which can compete with the Company's products. Moreover, there can be no assurance that such vendors will not develop and market products in direct competition with the Company. Some of the Company's current and many of the Company's potential competitors are large, publicly traded organizations with long operating histories and access to significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources. As a result, they may be able to respond to market changes, emerging technologies or changes in customer requirements more rapidly and devote more resources to the development, marketing and sales of their products than the Company. Competition may increase from new market entrants or through consolidations in the software industry and/or cooperative relationships among companies or with third parties. The Company believes that the principal competitive factors affecting its market include product functionality, breadth, ease of use, scalability and flexibility, integration and interoperability with standard platforms and operating systems and other software products, price, product reputation, customer service and support, sales and marketing effectiveness and company reputation. Although the Company believes it competes favorably with respect to such factors, there can be no assurance that the Company can maintain this position against current and potential competitors. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY The Company relies on a combination of copyright and trade secret laws, employee and third-party non-disclosure agreements and other methods to protect its proprietary rights. The Company believes that, due to the rapid pace of technological innovation within its industry, the Company's ability to establish and 9 maintain a position of technology leadership in the industry is dependent more upon the skills of its development personnel and its existing skills library than upon the legal protections afforded its existing technology. The Company's success is dependent in part upon its proprietary software. There can be no assurance that the Company's agreements with employees, consultants and others who participate in the development of its software will not be breached, that the Company will have adequate remedies for any breach, or that the Company's trade secrets will not otherwise become known. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the measures taken by the Company to protect its proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of its technology or independent development by others of similar technology. The Company is not aware of any patent infringement charge or any violation of other proprietary rights claimed by any third party relating to the Company or the Company's products. However, the computer technology market is characterized by frequent and substantial intellectual property litigation. Intellectual property litigation is complex and expensive, and the outcome of such litigation is difficult to predict. The Company relies on certain technology which it licenses from third parties. The Company's success will depend in part on its continued ability to obtain and use licensed technology that is important to the functionality of its products. An inability to continue to procure or use such technology would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and operating results. EMPLOYEES As of September 30, 1998, the Company had 177 full time employees consisting of 51 in sales and marketing, 42 in product development, 63 in client services and 21 in corporate operations. The Company's employees are not represented by any collective bargaining organizations, and the Company has never experienced any work stoppages. The Company considers its relations with its employees to be good.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS INCLUDE, WITHOUT LIMITATION, STATEMENTS CONTAINING THE WORDS "ANTICIPATES", "BELIEVES", "EXPECTS", "INTENDS", "FUTURE", AND WORDS OF SIMILAR IMPORT WHICH EXPRESS MANAGEMENT'S BELIEF, EXPECTATIONS OR INTENTIONS REGARDING THE COMPANY'S FUTURE PERFORMANCE. ALL FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS INCLUDED IN THIS REPORT ARE BASED ON INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO THE COMPANY ON THE DATE HEREOF, AND THE COMPANY HAS NO OBLIGATION TO UPDATE ANY SUCH FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM ITS HISTORICAL OPERATING RESULTS AND FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED IN THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF CERTAIN FACTORS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE SET FORTH BELOW, UNDER "FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS" AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT. 14 OVERVIEW The Company's products and services and the markets it serves have evolved and expanded in concert with the rapid advancements in technology and the elevated focus on human resource management. From its inception in 1982 through the first half of fiscal 1993, the Company's product revenue consisted primarily of DOS-based applicant tracking and succession planning systems. In June 1993, the Company introduced a Windows-based, client/server staffing solution, which incorporates high-volume resume-scanning, skills management and search capabilities. In November 1997, the Company broadened its offerings with the introduction of RESTRAC WEBHIRE, a service which provides candidate management functions via the Internet and the World Wide Web. In June 1998, the Company released HIRE FOR INTRANET, the next generation enterprise-level automated recruitment solution designed specifically for corporate intranets. The new product and service releases in fiscal year 1998 enhanced the Company's enterprise software operating segment and solidified its emerging Internet and transaction-based solutions segment. Total revenue consists of product revenue and services revenue. Product revenue is generated in the enterprise software operating segment and is derived from perpetual end-user licenses to use the Company's products. Product revenue is recognized upon delivery, provided there are no significant Company obligations remaining and collectibility of the revenue is probable. Services revenue from customer maintenance fees for postcontract support is recognized ratably over the maintenance term, which is typically 12 months. When customer maintenance fees are included in an initial software license fee, the Company allocates approximately 15% of the software license fee to the first year's maintenance. The amount allocated to customer maintenance fees for the first year is comparable to customer maintenance fees charged separately by the Company. Other services revenue from training, installation, consulting and outsourced services (e.g., scanning, acknowledgement mailings) is recognized as the related services are performed. Services revenue from RESTRAC WEBHIRE is recognized ratably over the service term. All customer maintenance fees for postcontract support and other services revenue for training, installation and consulting related to enterprise software licensed is attributed to the enterprise software operating segment. Services revenue for RESTRAC WEBHIRE and for outsourced services is attributed to the Internet and transaction-based solutions segment. During fiscal 1997, the Company increased the size of its operating facilities by over 100% and entered into new leases for its corporate headquarters, its Chicago office and its West Coast office. The direct increase in facilities costs associated with these leases was approximately $1.0 million in fiscal 1997 and an additional $400 for fiscal 1998. Facilities costs are allocated among income statement expense categories based principally on functional headcount. 15 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (IN THOUSANDS) The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage of total revenue represented by each item reflected in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------------------------- AS A PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL REVENUE: 1998 1997 1996 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- ----- ----- Revenue: Product revenue............................................................................ 55% 49% 61% Services revenue........................................................................... 45 51 39 --- --- --- Total revenue............................................................................ 100 100 100 --- --- --- Cost of revenue: Product revenue............................................................................ 2 3 7 Services revenue........................................................................... 27 29 22 --- --- --- Total cost of revenue.................................................................... 29 32 29 --- --- --- Gross margin................................................................................. 71 68 71 --- --- --- Operating expenses: Research and development................................................................... 18 25 11 Sales and marketing........................................................................ 35 39 37 General and administrative................................................................. 14 16 12 --- --- --- Total operating expenses................................................................. 67 80 60 --- --- --- Income (loss) from operations................................................................ 4 (12) 11 Other income, net............................................................................ 2 3 2 --- --- --- Income (loss) before provision (benefit) for income taxes.................................... 6 (9) 13 Provision (benefit) for income taxes......................................................... 2 (3) 6 --- --- --- Net income (loss)............................................................................ 4% (6)% 7% --- --- --- --- --- --- REVENUE PRODUCT REVENUE. Product revenue was $16,826, $10,783 and $13,265 in fiscal 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, representing an increase of 56% from fiscal 1997 to fiscal 1998 and a decrease of 19% from fiscal 1996 to fiscal 1997. The increase in product revenue in fiscal 1998 resulted largely from an increase in the number of seats associated with shipments to both new and existing customers as well as an increase in the average price per seat. More customers chose to license a large number of users with their initial system deployment, resulting in a significantly higher average sales price for fiscal 1998. Some customers initially deploy the product on a selective, divisional or business unit basis and later license additional users. Over 75% of the reduction in product revenue in fiscal 1997 as compared to fiscal 1996 is attributable to smaller sales transactions. The remaining reduction is due to lower shipment volumes in fiscal 1997. Because the Company's product revenue consists of a relatively small number of large dollar transactions, the average sales price and number of units shipped can fluctuate widely from period to period. Such fluctuations are not necessarily indicative of future results. Hardware resales contributed $358 to the first fiscal 1996 quarter. (The Company no longer serves as a reseller of hardware). Sales to existing customers represented approximately 33%, 25% and 26% of total software licenses in fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. SERVICES REVENUE. Services revenue was $14,029, $11,265 and $8,327 in fiscal 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, representing an increase of 25% from fiscal 1997 to fiscal 1998 and 35% from fiscal 1996 to fiscal 1997. Increased maintenance revenue, generated by the continued growth in the RESTRAC HIRE and 16 RESUME READER FOR PEOPLESOFT installed base, accounts for 59% and 70% of the total increase in services revenue for fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997, respectively. The remaining increases are attributable to the Company's emerging Internet and transaction-based solutions operating segment, with the introduction of RESTRAC WEBHIRE in fiscal 1998 and the addition of outsourced scanning services late in fiscal 1996. There can be no assurances that the Company will sustain these levels of services revenue growth. COST OF REVENUE COST OF PRODUCT REVENUE. Cost of product revenue includes royalty payments for third-party software embedded in the Company's products and costs of documentation and shipping. Cost of product revenue decreased as a percentage of product revenue to 4% for fiscal 1998 from 7% for fiscal 1997 and 11% for fiscal 1996. The percentage decrease for both periods is due primarily to favorable rate revisions in the royalties due under third-party licensing arrangements. COST OF SERVICES REVENUE. Cost of services revenue includes all costs of maintaining the client services organization and the Internet and transaction-based solutions segment operations, including salaries and personnel-related expenses, travel, outside consulting services, facilities cost and, to a lessor extent, third party scanning services and royalty payments for software maintenance. For fiscal 1998, 76% of cost of services was attributed to the enterprise software segment, with the remainder associated with the Internet and transaction-based solutions segment. This compares to 92% of cost of services attributed to the enterprise software segment for fiscal 1997. Cost of services revenue increased 32% to $8,370 for fiscal 1998 from $6,357 for fiscal 1997. Cost of services revenue increased 32% to $6,357 for fiscal 1997 from $4,827 for fiscal 1996. The increases in absolute dollars for each of the years are principally attributable to increased personnel and associated costs in the client services organization to support a larger client base and proportionately higher services revenue. Cost of services revenue increased as a percentage of services revenue to 60% for fiscal 1998 from 56% for 1997. Cost of services revenue decreased as a percentage of services revenue to 56% for fiscal 1997 from 58% for 1996. The lower mix of services revenue in fiscal 1998 as compared to fiscal 1997 is reflected in the slight increase in gross margin percentage to 71% from 68%. OPERATING EXPENSES RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses include all costs associated with the product engineering and quality functions, including salaries and personnel-related expenses, travel, outside consulting services and facilities costs. Research and development expenses were $5,588 or 18% of total revenue for fiscal 1998 as compared to $5,446 or 25% of total revenue for fiscal 1997 and $2,341 or 11% of total revenue for fiscal 1996. The increases in absolute dollars for the years presented are primarily due to increases in both personnel and consulting expenses in support of the Company's new and existing product development initiatives and its quality assurance programs. The Internet and transaction-based solutions segment accounted for 29% of total research and development expenses in fiscal 1998 and 33% in fiscal 1997. Research and development expenses will vary from period to period as a percentage of total revenue dependent upon the stage in product development and the requisite investment funding of ongoing projects. The Company considers continued investment in research and development to be integral to its future success. All of the Company's research and development costs have been expensed as incurred. SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses include promotional costs and trade shows and costs associated with personnel involved in sales and marketing functions, including salaries, commissions and other personnel-related expenses, travel, outside consulting services and facilities costs. Sales and marketing expenses were $10,613 or 35% of total revenue for fiscal 1998 as compared to $8,703 or 39% of total revenue for fiscal 1997 and $8,004 or 37% of total revenue for fiscal 1996. The increase in absolute dollars in fiscal 1998 from fiscal 1997 is due primarily to the effect of the increased commissions expense 17 resulting from the increase in revenue and to sales and marketing costs associated with RESTRAC WEBHIRE, introduced in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The Internet and transaction-based solutions segment accounted for 11% of total sales and marketing expenses in fiscal 1998. The increase in absolute dollars in fiscal 1997 from fiscal 1996 is due to the Company's investments in its sales organization in fiscal 1997, adding personnel and expanding its West Coast and Central U.S. facilities to accommodate the geographic distribution of sales and services personnel and to better support the customer base. The Company expects that sales and marketing expenses may vary from year to year as a percentage of total revenue. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses consist principally of costs for corporate operations personnel (executive, finance and accounting, information technology, human resources, legal and administrative), professional fees and other general corporate expenses. General and administrative expenses were $4,322 or 14% of total revenue for fiscal 1998 as compared to $3,541 or 16% of total revenue for fiscal 1997 and $2,610 or 12% of total revenue for fiscal 1996. The absolute dollar increase for fiscal 1998 as compared to fiscal 1997 is the result of personnel increases, investments in internal systems and an increase in bad debt expense during the year. The increase for fiscal 1997 as compared to fiscal 1996, both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenue, is largely the result of personnel increases in support of the Company's infrastructure, increased costs associated with the Company's having gone public in fiscal 1996, investments in internal systems and a charge in 1997 related to the move of the Company's corporate headquarters. OTHER INCOME, NET Other income was $593, $671 and $326 in fiscal 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The variances from period to period are due to fluctuations in the average combined cash and cash equivalents and short- and long-term investment balances. The Company expects to continue to yield investment income on its average balance of combined cash and cash equivalents and short- and long-term investments at an average rate comparable to that experienced for fiscal 1998. PROVISION (BENEFIT) FOR INCOME TAXES The Company's effective tax rate was 30%, (37%) and 44% for the fiscal years ended 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The changes in the effective tax rate for both fiscal 1998 as compared to fiscal 1997 and for fiscal 1997 as compared to fiscal 1996 relate principally to the generation of income or losses from operations during the respective periods. Minimal taxes are provided for Other Income generated during fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996 as a result of the favorable tax status of Restrac Securities Corporation and of the investment in municipal securities during these years. Thus, a higher ratio of Other Income to Income from Operations can significantly impact the effective tax rate from year to year. The benefit generated from the net loss in fiscal 1997 was partially offset by minimum taxes due in certain state jurisdictions. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At September 30, 1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and short- and long-term investments of $17,329, an increase of $2,174 from $15,155 at September 30, 1997. Working capital was $15,304 at September 30, 1998 as compared to $14,684 at September 30, 1997, an increase of $620. Cash provided by operating activities was $3,176 during the year ended September 30, 1998. Cash provided by operating activities consisted mainly of the net income for the fiscal year of $1,347, the effect of depreciation and amortization of $1,694, growth in deferred revenue of $1,397 and the timing of receipts and disbursements, resulting in prepayment of certain expenses, increases in accounts receivable and fluctuations in certain liabilities. Cash provided by investing activities was $559 during the year ended September 30, 1998. Cash provided by investing activities consisted mainly of net proceeds of $1,853 from the purchases and 18 maturities of short- and long-term investments partially offset by the purchase of property and equipment of $1,278 (primarily computer equipment). Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended September 30, 1998 was $292. Financing activities consisted of proceeds from the exercise of stock options, proceeds from the issuance of stock under the employee stock purchase plan and payments made under capital lease obligations. To date, the Company has not invested in derivative securities or any other financial instruments that involve a high level of complexity or risk. Cash has been, and the Company contemplates that it will continue to be, invested in interest-bearing, investment grade securities. On November 18, 1998, the Company acquired certain rights and assets and assumed certain obligations and liabilities of the Junglee subsidiary of Amazon.com in exchange for $6,000 cash and 1,670,273 shares of common stock (See Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). From time to time, the Company may evaluate other potential acquisitions of products, businesses and technologies that may complement or expand the Company's business. Any such transactions consummated may use a portion of the Company's working capital and/or require the issuance of equity or debt. The Company believes that its current cash and cash equivalent and short-term investment balances and cash provided by future operations will be sufficient to meet its working capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. Although operating activities may provide cash in certain periods, operating and investing activities may use cash in other periods. Consequently, any future growth may require the Company to obtain additional equity or debt financing. IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 ISSUE The Year 2000 issue results from computer programs written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's computer programs that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices or engage in similar normal business activities. The following paragraphs in this section include "Year 2000 readiness disclosure" within the meaning of the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act. The Company has attempted to make an assessment with regard to whether its own internal information systems are Year 2000 compliant. In particular, the Company has upgraded its accounting (excluding payroll) and customer management systems with systems that are warranted by the vendors to be Year 2000 compliant. In addition, the Company plans to seek assurances from its existing vendors whose systems are not warranted to be Year 2000 compliant that such systems are Year 2000 compliant. Currently, the Company does not anticipate purchasing additional systems. The Company does not separately track the internal costs incurred for Year 2000 projects. Although the Company does not believe that any additional Year 2000 compliance-related costs will be significant, there can be no such assurance. Any failure of third-party equipment or software comprising any part of the Company's systems to operate properly with regard to Year 2000 and thereafter could require the Company to incur unanticipated expenses to address associated problems. The Company has received assurances that all material embedded systems included in the Company's products are Year 2000 compliant. The Company believes, based on an internal assessment, that the current versions of its software products are Year 2000 compliant. The Company limits its contractual warrantees on Year 2000 compliance to objective performance standards that the Company has tested, and the Company makes no warrantees for nonconformance if the Company's software products are combined with other software or data that are not conducive to accurately calculating, comparing or sequencing date and time data between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The Company has no plan to ascertain whether the internal systems and products of its customers are Year 2000 compliant. Although the Company has not been 19 involved in any litigation or proceeding to date involving its products or services related to Year 2000 issues, there can be no assurance that the Company will not in the future be required to defend its products or services or to negotiate resolutions of claims based on Year 2000 issues. The Company does not have any specific contingency plans if any Year 2000 problems develop with respect to the Company's embedded systems, systems acquired from vendors or systems used by third parties with whom the Company has a mutual relationship. Contingency plans will be developed if it appears the Company or its key vendors will not be Year 2000 compliant, and such non-compliance is expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company's operations. Year 2000 issues may affect the purchasing patterns of customers and potential customers in a variety of ways. Many companies are expending significant resources to replace or remedy their current hardware and software systems for Year 2000 compliance. These expenditures may result in reduced funds available to purchase software products such as those offered by the Company. The Company does not believe that there is any practical way to ascertain the extent of, and has no plan to address problems associated with such a reduction in purchasing resources of its customers. Any such reduction could, however, result in a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. The Year 2000 issue is pervasive and complex, as virtually every computer operation will be affected in some way. Consequently, no assurance can be given that Year 2000 compliance can be achieved without significant additional costs.

The Company's actual results could differ materially from its historical operating results and from those anticipated in these forward looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, without limitation, those set forth below. The Company operates in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment that involves risks and uncertainties. The following section lists some, but not all, of these risks and uncertainties which may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. This section should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, and Management's Discussions and Analysis of financial Condition and Results of Operations for the years ended September 30, 1998, 1997, and 1996. POTENTIAL FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS The Company's results of operations have been, and may in the future be, subject to significant quarterly fluctuations, due to a variety of factors, including the relatively lengthy sales cycle for the Company's products, the relatively large size of a typical product sale, the timing of contracts, the introduction of new products by the Company or its competitors, capital spending patterns of customers, the Company's sales incentive strategy (which is based in part on annual sales targets) and general economic conditions. Historically, revenue in each of the first two fiscal quarters has been lower than in the preceding fourth fiscal quarter (which typically has the highest revenue and net income), due largely to sales incentive programs. A substantial portion of the Company's revenue often occurs during the last few weeks of each quarter; therefore, any delays in orders or shipments are more likely to result in revenue not 20 being recognized until the following quarter. The Company's current expense levels are based in part on its expectations of future revenue and, as a result, net income for a given period could be disproportionately affected by any reduction in revenue. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve significant revenue, that the level of revenue in the future will not decrease from past levels or that in some future quarter the Company's revenue or operating results will not be below the expectations of stock market securities analysts and investors. In such event, the Company's profitability and price of its Common Stock would likely be materially and adversely affected. EMERGING MARKETS The Company's future success is substantially dependent on broader recognition of the potential benefits afforded by automated staffing software and services and the growth in demand for such solutions. It is difficult to assess the size of the market, the customer demands that will evolve, and the competition that may emerge. There can be no assurance that the market for automated staffing software and services will continue to grow or that the introduction of new technologies or services will not render the Company's existing software and services obsolete or unmarketable. The market for automated staffing solutions is undergoing rapid changes including continuing advances in technology and changes in customer requirements and preferences. These market dynamics have been amplified by the emergence of the Internet as a communications medium for staffing solutions. The Company's future success will depend in significant part on its ability to continually improve the performance, features and reliability of its software and services in response to the evolving demands of the marketplace and competitive product offerings, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in doing so. In addition, an element of the Company's business strategy is the advancement of products, functionalities and other staffing solutions that capitalize on the increasing use of the Internet and corporate intranets. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in developing and marketing products that will keep pace with technological changes in the market or new technologies introduced by competitors or that it will satisfy evolving consumer preferences. Maturation of Internet and intranet-based products, functionalities and other staffing solutions will also depend on increased acceptance of the Internet for staffing solutions and the development of the necessary infrastructure to facilitate commercial applications on the Internet. There can be no assurance of such acceptance or infrastructure development. Failure to develop and introduce new products, functionalities and other staffing solutions in a timely fashion could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. DEPENDENCE ON PRINCIPAL PRODUCT The Company currently derives most of its revenue from its RESTRAC HIRE (including recently introduced HIRE FOR INTRANET) product. As a result, any factor adversely affecting sales of this product would have a material adverse effect on the Company. The future success of the Company also depends, in part, on achieving broader market acceptance of RESTRAC HIRE, as well as the ability to continue to enhance RESTRAC HIRE to meet the evolving needs of its customers. Moreover, the Company anticipates that its existing and new competitors will introduce additional competitive products. This competition may reduce future market acceptance of RESTRAC HIRE. The market acceptance of the Company's software is difficult to estimate due in large measure to the effect of new products, applications or product enhancements, technological changes in the marketplace for staffing solutions and future competition. There can be no assurance that the Company will maintain and expand acceptance of RESTRAC HIRE. The failure of the Company to maintain and expand its market acceptance as a result of competition, technological change or other factors would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. 21 DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL The Company's future success depends to a significant extent on its senior management and other key employees. The Company also believes that its future success will depend in large part on its ability to attract and retain additional key employees. Competition for such personnel in the computer software industry is intense, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting and training such personnel. DEPENDENCE ON THIRD PARTIES A key element of the Company's business strategy is to develop relationships with leading industry organizations in order to increase the Company's market presence, expand distribution channels and broaden the Company's product line. The Company believes that its continued success depends in large part on its ability to maintain such relationships and cultivate additional relationships. There can be no assurance that the Company's existing strategic partners or future strategic partners will not develop and market products in direct competition with the Company or otherwise discontinue their relationships with the Company, or that the Company will be able to successfully develop additional strategic relationships. In addition, certain technology incorporated in the Company's software is licensed from third parties on a nonexclusive basis. The termination of any of such licenses, or the failure of the third party licensers to adequately maintain or update their products, could result in delay in the Company's ability to ship certain of its products while it seeks to implement technology offered by alternative sources. In addition, any required replacement licenses could prove more costly than the Company's current license relationships and might not provide technology as powerful and functional as the third-party technology currently licensed by the Company. Also, any such delay, to the extent it becomes extended or occurs at or near the end of a fiscal quarter, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations for that quarter. While it may be necessary or desirable in the future to obtain other licenses relating to one or more of the Company's products or relating to current or future technologies, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so on commercially reasonable terms or at all. RISK OF NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCTIONS; RISK OF PRODUCT DEFECTS As the marketplace for staffing solutions continues to evolve, the Company plans to develop and introduce new products and services to enable it to effectively address the changing needs of that market. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to develop new products or services or that such solutions will achieve market acceptance or, if market acceptance is achieved, that the Company will be able to maintain such acceptance for a significant period of time. Any inability of the Company to quickly develop products and services that address changes in technology or customer demands may require the Company to substantially increase development expenditures or result in loss of market share to a competitor. Products as complex as those offered by the Company may contain undetected errors when first introduced or when new versions are released. The Company has in the past discovered software errors in certain of its product offerings after their introduction. There can be no assurance that, despite testing by the Company errors will not occur in new products or releases after commencement of commercial shipments, resulting in adverse publicity, in loss of or delay in market acceptance, or in claims by the customer against the Company, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE The evolution of the Company's business and expansion of the Company's customer base has resulted in substantial growth in the number of its employees, the scope of its operations and financial systems and the geographic area of its operations, resulting in increased responsibility for management personnel. The 22 Company's future results of operations will depend on the ability of its officers and other key employees to continue to implement its operational, customer support, and financial control systems and to expand, train, and manage its employee base. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to manage any future expansion successfully, and any inability to do so would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. RELIANCE ON SINGLE CLIENT INTERFACE AND SINGLE SERVER PLATFORM At the present time, the Company supports client (workstation) platforms utilizing Microsoft's Windows family of software products, including Windows 3.1, Windows NT and Windows 95. If Microsoft were to fundamentally change the architecture of its software product such that users of the Company's software applications experienced significant performance degradation or were rendered incompatible with future versions of Microsoft's Windows Operating System, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely effected. If a new client platform or other interface were to gain broad acceptance in the marketplace, there can be no assurance that the Company's architecture would be compatible with such an interface. Certain of the Company's products exclusively operate on Microsoft's NT Server and Internet Information Server (IIS) platforms. If Microsoft were to fundamentally change the architecture of its server product such that users of the Company's software applications experienced significant performance degradation or were rendered incompatible with future versions of Microsoft's NT Server or IIS, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely effected. If a new type of server were to gain broad acceptance in the marketplace, there can be no assurance that the Company's architecture would be compatible with such a server. LIMITED PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND DEPENDENCE ON PROPRIETARY RIGHTS; RISK OF LITIGATION The Company relies on a combination of copyright and trade secret laws, employee and third party non-disclosure agreements and other methods to protect its proprietary rights. There can be no assurance that the measures taken by the Company to protect its proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of its technology or independent development by others of similar technology. In addition, the Company may be subject to additional risk as it enters into transactions in countries where intellectual property laws are not well developed or are poorly enforced. The Company's inability to protect its proprietary rights would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. As the number of human resource application software products and services in the industry increases and the functionality of these solutions further overlaps, software developers and publishers may increasingly become subject to infringement claims. There can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against the Company in the future with respect to current or future products. Although the Company is not currently the subject of any intellectual property litigation, there has been substantial litigation regarding copyright, patent and other intellectual property rights involving computer software companies. Any claims or litigation, with or without merit, could be costly and could result in a diversion of management's attention, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Adverse determinations in such claims or litigation may require the Company to obtain a license and/or pay damages, which could also have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE As is frequently the case with stock of high technology companies, the market price the Company's stock has been and may continue to be quite volatile. Factors such as quarterly fluctuations in results of operations, announcements of technological innovations by the Company or its competitors or the 23 introduction of new products by the Company or its competitors, and macroeconomic conditions in the computer software industries generally, may have a significant impact on the market price of the stock of the Company. If revenue or earnings in a quarter fail to meet expectations (published or otherwise) of the investment community, there could be an immediate impact on the Company's stock price. Furthermore, the stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations which have particularly affected the market price for many high technology companies and which, on occasion, have been unrelated to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market fluctuations may materially adversely affect the market price of the stock of the Company. PRODUCT LIABILITY Although the Company has not experienced any product liability claims to date, the sale and support of products by the Company and the incorporation of products from other companies may entail the risk of product liability claims. The Company's license agreements with its customers typically contain provisions intended to limit the Company's exposure to such claims, but such provisions may not be effective in limiting the Company's exposure. A successful product liability action brought against the Company could adversely effect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. ITEM 8.

F-6 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements................................................................. F-7 F-1 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Restrac, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Restrac, Inc., as of September 30, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of operations, redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1998. These consolidated financial statements and schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Restrac, Inc. as of September 30, 1998 and 1997, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Schedule II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP Boston, Massachusetts December 16, 1998 F-2 RESTRAC, INC.

F-6 RESTRAC, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) (1) OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company designs, develops, markets, implements and supports human resource staffing software and services to automate the recruitment, selection and placement of an organization's workforce. The Company's staffing software enables organizations to strategically manage their human capital by reducing hiring and placement costs, decreasing time to fill positions and providing more effective skills management and worker deployment. The Company's products provide human resource departments with solutions to quickly and efficiently build and search comprehensive "pools" of resumes to find the workers they need, while also managing the workflow of the staffing process. In 1982, the Company was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. On January 5, 1994, the Company was reincorporated as a Delaware corporation. On June 15, 1995, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to effect a name change from MicroTrac Systems, Inc. to Restrac, Inc. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Restrac, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Restrac Securities Corporation, collectively referred to in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as "the Company." All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described below and elsewhere in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. (A) REVENUE RECOGNITION Product revenue includes software license fees, and prior to fiscal 1997, third-party scanning hardware and royalty revenue. Services revenue includes customer maintenance fees and fees for training, installation, consulting, scanning and RESTRAC WEBHIRE. The Company recognizes product and services revenue in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position (SOP) No. 97-2, SOFTWARE REVENUE RECOGNITION. Product revenue from software license fees is recognized upon delivery, provided there are no significant Company obligations remaining and collectibility of the revenue is probable. If an acceptance period is allowed, revenue is recognized upon the earlier of the acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period, as defined in the applicable software license agreement. Installments receivable represent the present value of future payments related to the financing of noncancelable term license agreements that provide for payment in installments over a five-year period. A portion of each installment is recognized as interest income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Services revenue from customer maintenance fees for postcontract support is recognized ratably over the maintenance term, which is typically 12 months. When customer maintenance fees are included in an initial software license fee, the Company allocates approximately 15% of the software license fee to the first year's maintenance. The amount allocated to customer maintenance fees for the first year is comparable to customer maintenance fees charged separately by the Company. Services revenue from training, installation, consulting and resume scanning is recognized as the related services are performed. Services revenue from RESTRAC WEBHIRE is recognized ratably over the service term. Deferred revenue represents payments received by the Company in advance of product delivery or service performance. F-7 RESTRAC, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) (1) OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (B) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS Research and development costs are generally charged to operations as incurred. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86, ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE TO BE SOLD, LEASED OR OTHERWISE MARKETED, requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. Based on the Company's product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. Costs incurred by the Company between completion of the working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release have not been material. For the years ended September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, all research and development costs have been expensed. (C) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash equivalents are recorded at amortized cost and consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. At September 30, 1998 and 1997, cash and cash equivalents consisted of the following: SEPTEMBER 30, -------------------- 1998 1997 --------- --------- Cash and money market funds................................................ $ 2,273 $ 1,795 Municipal securities....................................................... 7,499 3,950 --------- --------- $ 9,772 $ 5,745 --------- --------- --------- --------- (D) SHORT- AND LONG- TERM INVESTMENTS Short-term investments of $6,664 and $9,410 at September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, consist of investments with original maturities between three and twelve months. Long-term investments of $893 and $0 at September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, consist of investments that will mature greater than twelve months from the balance sheet date. The average maturities of these long-term investments are 15.5 months. The Company classifies these short-and long-term investments as held-to-maturity, and accordingly, they are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. These investments consist of municipal debt securities. (E) OTHER CURRENT ASSETS Other current assets primarily consist of prepaid operating expenses. The Company capitalizes prepaid expenses and amortizes them over the applicable period of their use. Prepaid expenses amounted to $1,378 and $721 at September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. F-8 RESTRAC, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) (1) OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (F) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT The Company records property and equipment at cost and provides for depreciation and amortization on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: SEPTEMBER 30, ESTIMATED -------------------- ASSET CLASSIFICATION USEFUL LIFE 1998 1997 - --------------------------------------------------------- --------------- --------- --------- Office equipment......................................... 3--5 Years $ 6,317 $ 5,117 Furniture and fixtures................................... 3--7 Years 636 610 Leasehold improvements...................................

(G) INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES. Under SFAS No. 109, a deferred tax asset or liability is measured by the currently enacted tax rates applied to the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. (H) USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (I) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company places its cash, cash equivalents and short-and long-term investments in highly rated institutions or securities. The Company's accounts receivable credit risk is not concentrated within any geographical area, and no single customer accounts for greater than 10% of total revenue or represents a significant credit risk to the Company. (J) POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS The Company offers no postretirement benefits. F-9 RESTRAC, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) (1) OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (K) NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE SFAS No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, basic net income (loss) per share for 1998 and 1997 is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for those periods. Basic net income per common share for 1996 is calculated by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders, defined as net income decreased by accreted dividends on preferred stock, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for that period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for all periods presented. The Company has applied the provisions of SFAS No. 128 and Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 98 retroactively to all periods presented. The following table reconciles the weighted average common shares outstanding to the shares used in computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding: YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, ---------------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 ---------- ---------- ---------- Weighted average common shares outstanding............. 8,273,177 8,056,272 4,646,148 Dilutive effect of options............................. 244,593 -- 525,995 Conversion of preferred stock.......................... -- -- 2,050,154 ---------- ---------- ---------- Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding..... 8,517,770 8,056,272 7,222,297 As of September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, 356,250, 1,003,123, and 0 potential common shares were outstanding, respectively, but not included in the above calculation as their effect would have been antidilutive. (L) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION. The Company determined that it will continue to account for employee stock-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and, pursuant to SFAS 123, has disclosed the pro forma effect on net income or loss and per share amounts in the notes to the consolidated financial statements using the fair value-based method for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. (M) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No.133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999. The Company does not expect adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. F-10 RESTRAC, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) (1) OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (N) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, short- and long-term investments and accounts and installments receivable, approximates their carrying value. (O) NONCASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES Noncash investing and financing activities include a $246 increase in equipment under capital leases for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997 and tax benefit of stock options exercised of $285 for the year ended September 30, 1997. For the years ended September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, additional noncash investment and financing activities included the issuance of warrants of $0, $99 and $14 and dividend accretion in the amount of $0, $0 and $229, respectively. (P) RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 1997 consolidated financial statements to conform to the fiscal 1998 presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income. (2) LEASE COMMITMENTS The Company's corporate headquarters are located in Lexington, Massachusetts, where it currently occupies approximately 60,000 square feet of office space under a lease expiring in December 2003. The Company also has regional sales and service offices in Foster City, California and Chicago, where it occupies approximately 6,000 square feet in both locations, under leases expiring in January and February of 2002, respectively. In addition, the Company leases office space for its sales representatives in Dallas, Reading, U.K., Seattle and Toronto, Ontario. Capital lease obligations consist of amounts due under an equipment lease agreement expiring in July 1999. At September 30, 1998, the cost and accumulated depreciation of the related equipment was $246 and $96, respectively. F-11 RESTRAC, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) (2) LEASE COMMITMENTS (CONTINUED) Future minimum rental payments as of September 30, 1998 under both the operating and capital leases, are shown in the following table: CAPITAL OPERATING LEASES LEASES ---------- ----------- 1999.................................................................. $ 137 $ 1,739 2000.................................................................. -- 1,773 2001.................................................................. -- 1,776 2002.................................................................. -- 1,601 2003.................................................................. -- 1,502 Thereafter............................................................ -- 626 ---------- ----------- 137 9,017 Less--sublease rental income........................................ -- 271 Less--amounts representing interest................................. 6 -- ---------- ----------- Present value of minimum lease payments............................... $ 131 $ 8,746 ---------- ----------- ---------- ----------- Aggregate net rental expense included in the accompanying statements of income for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996 is approximately $1,713, $1,496 and $542, respectively. Leases with escalating rents or free rent periods are expensed on a straight-line basis over the fixed term of the lease. Deferred rent of approximately $195 and $172 is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. (3) REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK On January 5, 1994, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $1.00 per share and issued 556,155 shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock (Preferred Stock) for a purchase price of $6.30 per share for proceeds of $3,234, net of $270 of issuance costs. On July 26, 1996, as a result of the initial public offering, the Company converted the 556,155 shares of Preferred Stock into 2,502,696 shares of common stock. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, the carrying value of the Preferred Stock was increased by accreted dividends of $230. Accreted dividends were charged to retained earnings in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In October 1996, the Company paid $569 of accrued dividends to the preferred stockholders. (4) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (A) AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK On June 5, 1996, the Company filed a Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which provided for, among other things (i) an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share of the Corporation, to 30,000,000 shares (ii) the authorization of 556,155 F-12 RESTRAC, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) (4) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED) shares of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $.01 per share. (B) STOCK DIVIDEND On May 8, 1996, the Board of Directors approved a three-for-two stock split, effected in the form of a stock dividend. Accordingly, all shares of common stock, options to purchase common stock and the conversion ratio of the Preferred Stock have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this stock split in the accompanying fiscal 1996 consolidated statement of changes in redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders' equity (deficit). (C) INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING On July 26, 1996, the Company completed its initial public offering of common stock. The Company sold 1,500,000 shares of common stock at $11.00 per share, which generated proceeds of $14,511, net of issuance costs of $834. (D) EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN On May 8, 1996, the Board of Directors authorized the 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Employee Plan). Under the Employee Plan, the Company may issue up to an aggregate of 400,000 shares of common stock to employees at 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock on the first or last day of each six-month purchase period. During fiscal 1998, 1997 and 1996, 48,956, 17,126 and 0 shares, respectively, were issued pursuant to the plan. On October 1, 1998, 19,194 shares of common stock were issued pursuant to the Employee Plan. (E) STOCK OPTION PLANS The Company has two stock option plans, the 1994 Stock Option Plan (the 1994 Plan) and the 1996 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the 1996 Plan). The 1994 and 1996 Plans enable the Company's Board of Directors to grant nonqualified and incentive stock options (ISOs) and shares of Common Stock. ISOs are granted at the then fair market value. Under the terms of the 1994 and 1996 Plans, options generally vest over four years and expire ten years after the date of grant. The 1994 and 1996 Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee as appointed by the Board of Directors from time to time. On December 18, 1997, the Company amended the 1996 Plan to increase the number of shares available for grant to 1,708,156 shares of common stock. A total of 641,844 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 1994 Plan as amended. In connection with a software development agreement, the Company granted to a third party warrants to purchase 66,000 shares of common stock in July 1996 at $11.00 per share. The warrants vest upon completion of certain events. At the time of issuance, the fair value of the warrants was estimated at approximately $85. For fiscal 1996, $14 was charged to cost of product revenue and additional paid-in capital. The warrants were canceled and reissued at a price of $4.38 per share in January 1997. The F-13 RESTRAC, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) (4) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED) Company recorded a charge of $99 in fiscal 1997, representing the revised fair market value of the warrants, as calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model in accordance with SFAS No. 123. Stock option activity for the 1994 and 1996 Plans is as follows: WEIGHTED NUMBER OF OPTION PRICE AVERAGE SHARES PER SHARE PRICE PER SHARE ---------- --------------- ----------------- Outstanding, September 30, 1995................ 601,368 $ 0.44--$2.00 $ 0.82 Granted...................................... 347,280 2.00--19.75 9.52 Exercised....................................

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) (4) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED) The weighted-average fair value of the shares issued under the Employee Plan was $3.70 and $3.49 for the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The fair value of the stock awards, including the options granted under the 1994 Plan and the 1996 Plan, and the shares issued under the Employee Plan, was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted average assumptions: 1998 1997 1996 --------- --------- --------- Expected life.................................................. 7 years 6 years 6 years Risk free interest rate........................................ 5.59% 6.30% 6.31% Volatility..................................................... 80.0% 65.0% 65.0% Dividend yield................................................. 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% Stock-based compensation expense would have decreased net income and increased net loss by $1,027, $220 and $0 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively ($.12, $.03 and $.00 per basic and diluted share, respectively) if the fair values of the options granted and stock issued had been recognized as compensation expense. The pro forma effect on net income and loss for 1998, 1997 and 1996 is not representative of the pro forma effect on net income in future years, because it does not take into consideration pro forma compensation expense related to grants made prior to fiscal year 1996. (5) INCOME TAXES The provision (benefit) for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations consists of the following for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996: 1998 1996 1997 --------- --------- --------- Current-- Federal........................................................... $ 557 $ (658) $ 969 State............................................................. 20 16 267 --------- --------- --------- 577 (642) 1,236 --------- --------- --------- Deferred............................................................ -- Federal........................................................... -- (85) (50) State............................................................. -- (25) (19) --------- --------- --------- -- (110) (69) --------- --------- --------- Total provision (benefit)..................................... $ 577 $ (752) $ 1,167 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- F-15 RESTRAC, INC.

The valuation allowance at September 30, 1998 and 1997 was established due to management's estimate that it was more likely than not that a benefit of the buyout of distribution rights would not be realized in the future. At September 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company had refundable income taxes of $135 and $948, respectively, related to the carryback of taxable losses to prior periods.

The operating segments reported below are the segments for which separate financial information is available and for which operating profit/loss amounts are evaluated regularly by senior management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has two reportable segments: enterprise software solutions and internet and transaction-based solutions, the latter of which started to emerge in fiscal 1997 with the offering of outsourced services (e.g., resume scanning, acknowledgement letters) and the research and development activities undertaken for this segment. The Internet and transaction-based solutions segment provides outsourced management of private candidate pools via RESTRAC WEBHIRE, subscription services to public pools and job-posting sites, resume scanning, reference checking and other fee-based staffing functions. The enterprise software solutions segment provides perpetual licenses to the Company's software products and the related maintenance, training, implementation and consulting services in support of such licenses. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Expenses related to general corporate functions such as Information Technology, Finance and Human Resources, and general and administrative costs such as depreciation, rent and utilities are allocated to the reportable segments based on relative headcount as a basis of relative usage. Income tax provision (benefit) is allocated to the reportable segments in deriving segment profit (loss) based on each segment's pro rata income or loss before income tax provision (benefit). The Company has no intersegment sales and transfers, and does not allocate assets to the operating segments. F-17 RESTRAC, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) (9) BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION (CONTINUED) The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different solutions tailored to a customer's needs. They are managed separately because each business requires different technology and sales and marketing strategies.

In exchange for cash of $6 million and 1,670,273 shares of Restrac common stock, Restrac received exclusive rights to Junglee's online recruitment technologies. Restrac also acquired Junglee's Internet production sites and will manage and develop the employer and career site business relationships established by Junglee. Restrac did not retain any Junglee personnel in connection with the transaction. The allocation of purchase price among the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be determined during fiscal 1999 when appraisals, other studies and additional information become available.
