NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

Method of preparation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2001, the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000 are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial statements. In management's opinion, all adjustments that are normal and recurring, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, and of cash flows have been made for all periods presented.

The balance sheet as of December 31, 2000 has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. Such disclosures are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2001.

The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. This financial data should be reviewed in conjunction with management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation and the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Net loss per share

Basic and diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each respective period.

The following is a reconciliation of the computation for basic and diluted net loss per share:

Dilutive potential shares of common stock could consist of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock, common stock options and warrants. In periods where we have a reported loss or in cases where stock options, warrants and mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock have an exercise price greater than the market price of the common shares for the period, they are excluded from the per share calculation as they are antidilutive. The number of shares of common stock into which the preferred stock converts is subject to change based upon the change in the Company's stock price.

Comprehensive loss

We report components of comprehensive loss in our annual consolidated statement of stockholders' equity. Other comprehensive loss consists of net income and foreign currency translation adjustments. Our total comprehensive loss was:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, or SAB 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements". This pronouncement summarizes certain of the SEC staff's views on applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition. SAB 101 was required to be implemented in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. The adoption of SAB 101 has not had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In June 1998, FASB issued FAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended in June 2000 by FAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", which requires the recognition of all derivatives as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measurement of those instruments at fair value. Changes in fair value of derivatives are recorded in earnings or other comprehensive income depending upon the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. The effective date of this statement has been delayed to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000 and we adopted SFAS No. 133 effective January 1, 2001. The impact of adopting this statement did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

2. Segment information

We completed the sale of our client/server business in February 2001, as a result we are focused on our mobile, wireless, and embedded business. As a result, the segments in which we now base our management reporting are the mobile, wireless and embedded business, and the divested client/server business. The following table presents information based on our method of internal reporting and on how we organize our revenue into groups of similar products:

3. Divestiture of client/server business

On January 15, 2001, the Company signed an agreement with Gupta Holdings, LLC a Delaware limited liability company, wholly owned by Platinum Equity, LLC (Gupta Holdings, LLC and Platinum Equity, LLC being collectively referred to as "Platinum") whereby the Company sold certain of its assets and liabilities to Platinum. The assets sold collectively comprise the Company's client/server database software business (the "Business"). The transaction formally closed on February 22, 2001, and was structured to reflect economic effectiveness as of January 1, 2001.

In consideration of the sale of the business described above, the Company received, or will receive a combination of cash, royalties on future revenue streams generated by the business being sold, and the assumption by Platinum of obligations to perform services related to deferred revenue associated with the business being sold. The Company received net cash proceeds of $3.1 million, and Platinum assumed approximately $10.7 million in obligations to perform services related to the deferred revenue, and agreed to pay up to $6.3 million in royalty payments over the next five years based on future revenue streams generated by the business being sold. The table below summarizes the gain recorded on the transaction:

The assets sold by the Company include equipment, certain intellectual property rights and goodwill associated with the business. Products obtained by Platinum include SQLBase, Centura Team Developer, and other related client/server database products. Products retained include Touchpoint Mobile Companion, Touch Point Embedded Companion (including RDM), Touchpoint Server Partner, and Mbrane Velocis.

Additionally, as part of the sale, Platinum is allowed to use the name "Centura" in its products and advertising. On February 13, 2001, the board of directors approved the name change of the Company to Mbrane, and on February 28, 2001, Centura Software Corporation began using the names "Mbrane" and "Mbrane, Inc." in its advertising and product promotion. The Company intends to ask the Company's stockholders to approve an amendment of the corporate charter to change the name of the Company to "Mbrane" at its June 19, 2001 stockholder meeting. On April 2, 2001 the Company began using the Nasdaq trading symbol "MBRN", replacing the previous symbol "CNTR."

4. Asset based loan facility

In February 2001, we entered into an asset based loan facility with Pacific Business Funding, a division of Cupertino National Bank. This loan facility allows us to borrow up to $2.5 million at an annual interest rate of 9.6%. Under the terms of the loan we are allowed to borrow the lesser of up to 80% of our accounts receivable that are under 90 days old, or $2.5 million. The facility has an initial term of one year, and is renewable annually thereafter unless terminated by either party. As of March 31, 2001 the loan amount outstanding was $1,997,000, and the total amount available to borrow against future receivables was $503,000. Additionally, as part of the loan agreement, the lender has a lien on all of the Company's assets, including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, letters of credit, customer lists, copyrights, patents, trademarks licenses, intellectual property, inventory, equipment and machinery, investment securities, and books and records, including computer programs.

5. Private placement of equity securities

On March 12, 2001, the Company completed a private placement of equity securities in the first of up to three issuances. The equity securities issued are Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"), as designated in the Company's Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designation") filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 9, 2001. The first issuance of Preferred Stock, in the amount of $2 million, is convertible into shares of common stock at the lesser of an average market price of shares of our common stock immediately preceding conversion, or $1.75 per share. The second issuance of Preferred Stock is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions (including stockholder approval) and is expected, subject to the satisfaction of those conditions, to close in the third quarter of 2001. If the conditions are satisfied, the amount of the second issuance will be between $2 million and $3 million. The conversion price of the Preferred Stock involved in the second issuance is dependent on the price of the Company's common stock prior to the second issuance. The third issuance, if consummated, would be based on a call option held by the first issuance investor under which the investor would acquire up to an additional $6 million of Preferred Stock. The conversion price of the Preferred Stock purchased in the third issuance would be at the lesser of an average market price of shares of our common stock immediately preceding conversion, or $2.00 per share. Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 114,286 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.01 per share, which expire in March 2006, were also issued to the purchaser in the private placement. Additional warrants could be issued in connection with the second and third issuances.

Each share of Preferred Stock, upon issuance, is entitled to receive cumulative annual dividends at the rate of 4.5% per annum. Such dividends are due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September, and December of each year commencing on March 31, 2001. Dividends accumulate daily on each share of Preferred Stock, whether or not declared, until each such share of Preferred Stock has been converted or redeemed. To the extent dividends are not paid on the applicable dividend payment date, such dividends shall be cumulative and shall compound quarterly until the date of payment of such dividend. We are prohibited from declaring a dividend of any kind as long as the total stated value of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock is in excess of $500,000.

The Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holder at a premium, upon the occurrence of events defined in the Certificate of Designation. Examples of such events are: a change in ownership or voting control of the Company, a delisting of the Company's common stock from the Nasdaq National Market or the inability to register the underlying common stock using Form S-3. The redemption amount differs depending on the nature of the event. For example, in the event of a change in control, or a delisting from the Nasdaq Small Cap or National Market, the redemption amount is 125% of the cumulative face value of the Preferred Stock, outstanding at the time of the event. In the event of the Company's inability to register the underlying common stock within 100 days from the initial issuance date, the redemption amount is 130% of the cumulative face value of the Preferred Stock, outstanding at the time of the event.

The Company may, at its option, at any time, redeem the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to 121% of the cumulative face value of the Preferred Stock, provided that if the Company chooses to do this it must redeem all of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding, including the payment of earned but unpaid dividends.

The holder of the Preferred Stock can convert shares of Preferred Stock into common stock in whole or in part at any time, subject to certain restrictions that are described in the Certificate of Designation. The number of shares of common stock available to the holders of the Preferred Stock is determined by dividing the face value of any Preferred Stock to be converted by various prices. The denominator used in determining the number of such shares is the lesser of the volume-weighted average price of the 10 days prior to the Holder Conversion Date, or the ceiling price established for each issuance of the Preferred Stock. For Preferred Stock issued in the first issuance, the ceiling is $1.75, for Preferred Stock issued in the second issuance, the ceiling is $1.75 plus 50% of the 10 day weighted average price above $1.75. For Preferred Stock issued in the third issuance, the ceiling is $2.00.

The Preferred Stock has no voting rights although, if converted into common stock, those shares of common stock would have voting rights.

We will accrete the recorded value of the Preferred Stock to 130% of the face value of the Preferred Stock over 150 days, the shortest period for which an event that is out of our control could trigger redemption by the holders of the Preferred Stock.

The Company received cash of $1,824,000 from the issuance of the Preferred Stock and allocated an additional $74,000 to issue costs which represents the fair value of warrants granted to the placement agent. The remaining $1,750,000 was allocated to the Preferred Stock, the warrants to purchase 114,286 shares of common stock, and the option of the purchaser to purchase additional shares of Preferred Stock upon certain circumstances, based upon their fair values on the date of the purchase. The relative value allocated to the common stock warrants was $80,817 based on an independent valuation using the Black Scholes method and the following assumptions; exercise price $2.01, no dividends, term of 5 years, risk free rate of 4.65% and a volatility of 90%. The relative fair value allocated to the option to purchase additional shares of Preferred Stock was determined to be $551,637 based on an independent valuation using the Black Scholes model and the following assumptions; exercise price $2.00, no dividends, term of 9 months, risk free rate of 4.65% and a volatility of 90%. Based upon the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of the commitment ($1.25), the relative fair value allocated to the Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis, exceeded the amount assigned to the Preferred Stock by approximately $151,000. The Company recorded the $151,000 excess, representing the value of the beneficial conversion feature as an increase to additional paid in capital and a decrease in Series B Preferred Stock. The beneficial conversion feature is recognized as a deemed dividend to the Series B Preferred Stock over the over the minimum period in which preferred holders realize their return. Because the Preferred shares are immediately convertible, the estimated fair value of the beneficial conversion feature associated with the Preferred Stock is realizable upon the closing of the investment. Accordingly, a $151,000 deemed dividend was recognized as a charge to additional paid in capital, and for loss per share computations, net loss applicable to common stockholders and an increase in the carrying value of the Preferred Stock.

6. Subsequent event

On April 19, 2001 Mbrane signed a definitive agreement to acquire the primary assets of Veriprise Corporation in a purchase business combination for 1,500 shares of Convertible Junior Preferred Stock, convertible into 1,500,000 shares of our common stock. The transaction is expected to be completed in May 2001.

Veriprise delivers wireless Business-to-Employee (B2E) solutions, connecting mobile workers to the business data and systems they need to do their jobs. Atlanta-based Veriprise partners with device manufacturers, wireless carriers, application vendors, systems integrators, and hosting partners to deliver secure and flexible wireless solutions to customers. These products range from software-only solutions that reside behind the corporate firewall to outsourced solutions that couple devices, airtime and hosting services in one package.

Beginning in April 2001 the Company implemented a reduction in force program to reduce the number of employees by approximately 40. This action coupled with wage and salary reductions implemented in mid-April will have the effect of reducing future payroll expenditures by approximately 40%. The wage and salary reductions affected all employees worldwide. The pay reductions ranged from 10% for individual contributors up to 30% for vice presidents. Six of the Company's senior executives are being paid at $1.00 per year, with stock incentives.

Item 2. Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward- looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain of the risk factors set forth below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In evaluating the Company's business, prospective investors should carefully consider the following factors in addition to the other information presented in this report.

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Part I-Item 1 of this quarterly report, and the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, and management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Our goal is to become the leader in enabling the secure extension of enterprise class information, on a wireless basis, to Information Appliances (used by people) and Intelligent Devices (machines) through our Touchpoint software membrane. To accentuate this focus, on February 22, 2001, we completed the divestiture of our client/server business. The divestiture provides management the ability to devote its complete attention and resources to developing new products and services related to mobile, wireless, and embedded computing. Management believes that the mobile and embedded markets provide greater growth potential than our divested client/server business.

For the year ended December 31, 2000, net revenue related to the divested business represented approximately $33 million or approximately 80% of our net revenue, and the divestiture is anticipated to result in annualized cost savings of approximately $35 million.

As the name of the Company, "Centura Software Corporation", was developed and used in our client/server business, which has now been sold, management has begun the process to rename the Company "Mbrane, Inc." and to develop the name "Mbrane" as the brand for its products. Subject to approval by the Company's stockholders, the Company's board of directors has approved changing the name of the Company to "Mbrane, Inc." At its annual meeting of stockholders, scheduled to be held June 19, 2001, the Company will seek stockholder approval of the name change. The Company's stock symbol on the Nasdaq National Market was changed to MBRN, effective April 2, 2001. References to "we", "us", "our", "Mbrane", "Centura" or the "Company" means Centura Software Corporation and its subsidiaries and divisions (which now conduct business as Mbrane), and their predecessor companies and subsidiaries.

Results of Operations:
Net product revenues

The following table presents our net product revenues by product line and approximate percentage of total net product revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000:

                                            Three Months Ended March 31,

                                      ========= ========= ========= =========

Net product revenues decreased $4,461,000, or 75%, for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2000. The decrease was primarily due to the divestiture of our client server business and its related products. Among the products the Company retained, there was a $939,000, or 56% decrease from the year ago quarter. This decrease was due to two large multi-year embedded database contracts that closed in 2000.

Net service revenues

Net service revenues primarily comprises fees that entitle our customers to the right to receive product revision upgrades and updates as and when they become available, telephone support and consulting services. The following table presents our net service revenues by product line and approximate percentage of total net service revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000:

                                                 Three Months Ended March 31,

                                          ========= ========= ========= =========

Net service revenues decreased 64% to $2,344,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001, from $6,431,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The decrease is primarily due to the divestiture of the client/server business. Service revenue related to divested products decreased $3,727,000 or 68%. Service revenue related to retained products declined by $360,000 or 37%. This decline is due to a decrease in consulting revenues relating to porting software to different operating systems, and a decline in support contracts consistent with declines in our product revenue.

Total net revenues by geographic region

Following our divestiture of our client/server business, we believe previous geographic comparisons are not indicative of our on-going business. For the three months ended March 31, 2001 our net revenues related to our retained mobile and embedded products, including services, were $1,353,000. Of these net revenues $1,131,000 or 84% were from North America. The remaining $222,000, or 16% were from Europe. Revenues have been allocated to geographic regions based primarily upon destination of product shipment.

The Company plans to market and sell its products globally in the future, and views global sales as an important component of its strategy. We have sales offices in North America, the United Kingdom, and Australia, and intend to serve our customers from these offices on a global basis.

Cost of net product revenues

Cost of product revenues includes the cost of production and the amortization of capitalized software. Cost of production includes the cost of subcontracted production and royalties for third party software.

The cost of product revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $179,000. This includes $81,000 in amortization of capitalized software development costs. Cost of product revenues for the three months ending March 31, 2000 were $428,000, including $156,000 in amortization of capitalized software development costs. The cost of product revenues decreased $249,000, or 58%, from the year-ago period. The decrease is primarily due to the divestiture of our client/server business and the resulting decrease in volume of shipments resulting from the divestiture.

We capitalize internal software development costs eligible for capitalization from the time that a project reaches technological feasibility until the time that the products derived from the project are released for sale. Software purchased from third parties and included in our products is also capitalized if technological feasibility for the project has been reached at the time of purchase. These capitalized costs are then amortized ratably over the useful life of the products, which is generally estimated to be two to three years.

Cost of net service revenues

Cost of service consists primarily of personnel costs related to product license maintenance, training and technical support. For the quarter ended March 31, 2001 cost of service revenues was $386,000. For the quarter ended March 31, 2000 the cost of service revenues was $753,000. The decrease of $367,000, or 49%, is primarily the result of personnel reductions in the technical support and consulting services areas.

Amortization of acquired products

In June 1999, we capitalized $2,670,000 of acquired technology, as part of the acquisition of Raima Corporation. In the three months ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000, the associated amortization expense was $133,000.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses consist principally of salaries, sales commissions and costs of advertising and marketing campaigns. For the three- month periods ending March 31, 2001 and 2000, sales and marketing expenses were $7,054,000 and $7,768,000 respectively. The decrease in expenses of $714,000, or 9%, is caused by decreased commission expense on lower revenues, and decreases in advertising and promotion programs.

Engineering and product development expenses

Engineering and product development costs before reductions for internal development costs that are capitalized were $2,814,000 and $2,744,000 for the respective quarters ending March 31, 2001 and 2000. This represents an increase of $70,000. After reducing for capitalized internal development costs, net engineering and development costs were $2,668,000 and $2,043,000 for each of the quarters ending March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

The increase in gross engineering and product development expenses was due to the addition of a new subsidiary in the fourth quarter of 2000. This new subsidiary, which is focused on the development of new software products, accounted for $607,000 of engineering and product development expenses in the first quarter. Without the new subsidiary engineering and product development expenses were lower when compared to the three-month period ending March 31, 2000 by $537,000. This reduction is mostly due to decreases in headcount.

Capitalized software development costs decreased from $701,000 to $146,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2000, due to a reduction in the number of products that were in the development lifecycle stage that permits capitalization of development costs. That is the stage between establishment of technological feasibility and release to product manufacturing.

We believe that the development of new products and the enhancement of existing products are essential to our continued success, and we intend to continue to devote substantial resources to new product development.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of staffing and related expenses, rent and facilities expense, depreciation, and outside services. These costs for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000 were $2,252,000 and $2,194,000, respectively. The increase of $58,000, or 3%, in the first quarter of 2001 over the first quarter of 2000 is due to expenses related to employee retention that were paid to certain employees to cause them to stay with the Company through the transition period during which the sale of the client/server business was being completed. The one-time costs were partially offset with lower personnel costs after the completion of the sale.

Amortization of goodwill and workforce intangible

As part of the June 1999 acquisition of Raima, we capitalized $3,266,000 of goodwill, which is being amortized over its estimated period of benefit of five years, and $670,000 of workforce intangible, which is being amortized over its estimated period of benefit of three years. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, goodwill amortization expense was $147,000 and the workforce intangible amortization expense was $56,000.

Other income (expense), net

Other income (expense), net is comprised of interest income, interest expense and gains or losses on foreign currency transactions. For the three months ended March 31, 2001 other income (expense) increased to net other expense of $318,000 from a net other income of $123,000 in the same three months of the prior year. This increase in expense is due to lower interest income, as a result of smaller cash balances on deposit, in addition to unfavorable foreign exchange rates in the first quarter of 2001 as compared with the first quarter of 2000.

Gain on divestiture

On February 22, 2001 the Company completed the sale of its client server business. The transaction provided for the purchaser, Gupta Holdings, LLC to pay Mbrane approximately $3.1 million, and take over deferred revenue obligations of approximately $10.7 million. In exchange the purchaser acquired certain assets, subsidiaries, and subsidiaries' assets. The table below summarizes the gain recorded on the transaction:

Provision for income taxes

The provision for income taxes in the first quarter of 2000 primarily relates to foreign withholding taxes. Due to our net losses, no provision for income taxes was made for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2001.

Accretion of Series A preferred stock to redemption value and dividends

The prorated accretion adjustment of $4,125,000, booked in the three months ended March 31, 2000, reflects the theoretical charge that would have resulted had we been unable to register the shares of common stock underlying the preferred stock within the required period for registration of 150 days. In the event that the shares had not been registered within the required timeframe, the preferred stockholders would then have been entitled to redeem the preferred stock at 125% of face value. Our liability would therefore have increased to 125% of the face value of the preferred stock. Even though the registration of the shares of common stock became effective on April 3, 2000, and we have no obligation to pay 125% of the face value, application of generally accepted accounting principles required us to accrete to this potential redemption value.

The preferred stock cumulative dividend of $141,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was accrued at the rate of 4.5% per annum, and was paid in the form of incremental preferred stock on March 31, 2000.

Accretion of Series B preferred stock to redemption value, beneficial conversion feature, and dividends.

If at any time after 150 days from the commitment date (March 9, 2001) the registration statement is not declared effective, the Company must redeem all or any unspecified portion of the Series B preferred stock at a redemption price equal to 130% of the aggregate value of $2,000,000. The amount reflected as accretion of Series B preferred stock to redemption value represents a prorating of the total accretion of $1,482,000 over the 22 days of the 150 day accretion period that fell in the first quarter of 2001.

In the three-month period ending March 31, 2001 we accreted dividends at 4.5% on Series B preferred stock in the amount of $7,500. In the three-month period ending March 31, 2001 we also accreted dividends at 4.5% on the contingent beneficial conversion feature of the Series B preferred stock in the amount of $7,500.

Net cash from operating activities decreased $6,557,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared with the same period in 2000. This decrease is primarily due to the operating loss incurred in the first quarter of 2001and larger reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared with the same period in 2000.

Net cash generated from investing activities increased $3,354,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2000. This increase is primarily attributed to the result of the $3,060,000 raised in the divestiture of the client/server business, and lower investments in equipment and capitalized software than in the same period in 2000.

Net cash from financing activities decreased $397,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2000. This decrease is primarily due to cash proceeds from the issuance of common stock in the first quarter of 2000 being higher than the proceeds of the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock in the first quarter of 2001.

The Company is actively taking steps to reduce its expenses and cash out flows, and is making efforts to increase revenues and generate cash by other means. Given the current market conditions for the Company's products, particularly slower adoption of wireless technology and longer sales cycles, we believe it is likely that expected cash flows from operations and existing cash balances will be insufficient to meet our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for continuing operations. Therefore, we are actively seeking new sources of capital in order to have adequate financial resources for operational or other needs. There can be no assurance that new capital will be available on reasonable terms or at all. Any additional equity financing may result in significant dilution to our stockholders.

Working capital

At March 31, 2001, our working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, was at a deficit of $1,622,000. This was an improvement of $2,954,000 from our working capital deficit of $4,576,000 at December 31, 2000. This is largely a result of the divestiture of the client/server business, which resulted in cash proceeds of $3,060,000 and a reduction in the deferred revenue current liability of $10,746,000. Working capital was also improved by the cash proceeds of $1,824,000 from the issuance of Series B preferred stock. These improvements were partially offset by continued operating losses of the Company, and the resulting payments made to employees and vendors.

Our capital requirements also may be affected by acquisitions of businesses, products and technologies that are complementary to our business, which we may consider from time to time. We regularly evaluate such opportunities. Any such transaction, if consummated, may further reduce our working capital or require the issuance of our common stock and/or preferred stock.

Foreign currency forward contracts

At March 31, 2001 we had $4,855,000 in unsecured foreign currency forward contracts denominated in four European currencies, including German Deutschemarks, British Pounds Sterling, Dutch Guilders and Italian Lire, as well as Australian Dollars, as part of a program to reduce the financial exposure arising from foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities.

Current assets and liabilities presented in the accompanying March 31, 2001 balance sheet are $4,727,000 less than as presented in our press release issued on April 23, 2001. This is because after further review by the Company and our external accountants, it was determined that the value of foreign exchange contracts should be shown at their net value of $128,000, and not at their gross values of a current asset of $4,855,000 and a current liability of $4,727,000. This occurred as the Company was in the initial adoption of SFAS 133 in the first quarter of 2001.

Debt financing

In February 2001, we entered into an asset-based loan facility with Pacific Business Funding, a division of Cupertino National Bank. This loan facility allows us to borrow up to $2.5 million at an annual interest rate of 9.6%. Under the terms of the loan we are allowed to borrow up to the lesser of 80% of our accounts receivable that are under 90 days old, or $2.5 million. The facility has an initial term of one year, and is renewable annually thereafter unless terminated by either party. As of March 31, 2001 the loan amount outstanding was $1,997,000, and total amount available to borrow against future receivables was $503,000. Additionally, as part of the Cupertino loan agreement, the lender has a lien on all of the Company's assets, including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, letters of credit, customer lists, copyrights, patents, trademarks licenses, intellectual property, inventory, equipment and machinery, investment securities, and books and records, including computer programs.

Factors That May Affect Future Results:

Our current business is not profitable and may not become profitable

To date, our mobile, wireless and embedded business has not been profitable and we do not expect it to become profitable during 2001. Although it is management's objective to minimize cash losses in the remainder of 2001 and to become profitable in 2002, there can be no assurance that this objective will be achieved.

We have incurred losses from operations during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 and have been dependent upon raising money from issuances of our preferred stock and common stock in order to fund these losses and our investment in assets needed to establish our business. We currently plan to increase our revenues to a level that will finance expected expenditures and result in at least neutral cash flows from operations. However until we reach this stage we will continue to use our current cash and cash equivalent balances to meet the shortfall. We are also actively seeking to raise additional capital in the financial markets. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available, or available on terms that are acceptable. Any additional issuance of equity or equity-related securities will be dilutive to our stockholders. Management has developed and executed cost reduction plans to reduce expenses to levels that could be financed by revenues generated as the market develops for our products. However, there can be no assurance that cost cutting exercises will be successful in completely eliminating the difference between expenditures and revenues or that such actions would not have a harmful effect on our business and results of operations.

The market for mobile, embedded and wireless devices may grow more slowly than anticipated

Although we believe the market for utilizing mobile, wireless and embedded technology will grow quickly, we cannot predict the rate at which such technology will be adopted. If the rate of adoption of such technology is slower than anticipated, the growth of our revenue will likely be slowed, which will negatively affect our financial position.

The volatility of our common stock price may harm our growth and ability to raise capital.

Our common stock has a history of high volatility and our stock price may vary in response to quarterly variations in operating and financial results, as highlighted below, announcements of new products or customer contracts by us or our competitors, litigation and other factors, including sales of substantial blocks of our common stock. In addition, the extreme price fluctuations of the stock market in general, and technology stocks in particular (including ours), may affect the price of our stock, independent of whether we have experienced changes in our business, operating results, or financial condition. Fluctuations in the trading price or liquidity of our common stock may adversely affect our ability to raise capital through future equity financings, or to negotiate successful stock based acquisitions of other companies.

Fluctuations in our quarterly and annual results may adversely affect our stock price

Our quarterly and annual operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and may continue to do so in the future. On an annual basis historically, including the results of our client server business which was sold in February 2001, we reported a loss of $30.0 million in 2000, a loss of $3.2 million in 1999, and a profit of $2.1 million in 1998. Our future operating results may be below the expectations of public market analysts or investors. We also may not learn of, or be able to confirm, revenue or earnings shortfalls until late in, or after, the fiscal quarter; consequently we may not be able to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for the shortfalls. Accordingly, any significant shortfall in sales of our products or services in relation to our expectations, or those of analysts or investors, could have an immediate adverse impact on the price of our common stock. A number of factors are likely to cause variations in our quarterly and annual results. From time to time, new technologies may be announced, developed, or delivered by us or our competition that have the potential to replace or shorten the life cycles of our existing products. The announcement of new products may also cause customers to delay their purchasing decisions in anticipation of such products. We may therefore occasionally experience a reduction in demand, and decreased sales, for our existing products. In addition, in some cases our revenue recognition is dependent upon the business activities of our customers, and the timely and accurate reporting of their activities to us, making predictability of the related revenue extremely uncertain. For example, many of our product licensing arrangements are subject to revenue recognition on a per-unit deployed basis, including cases where a deferred obligation to such customers is gradually extinguished. Delays in the introduction or availability of new hardware and software products from third parties may also negatively affect sales of our products.

Cyclical factors, including year and quarter end purchasing and the timing of marketing activities, such as industry conventions and tradeshows, may cause our operating results to fluctuate. Although we have operated historically with little or no backlog, we have experienced cyclical patterns of product revenue, contributing to variation in quarterly worldwide product revenues and operating results. We have generally realized lower revenues in the first quarter as compared with the immediately preceding fourth quarter of any given year and lower European revenues in the third quarter as compared to the rest of the year. We have also experienced a pattern of recording a substantial portion of our revenues in the third month of a quarter. As a result, product revenues in any quarter are dependent on orders booked in the last month. Our staffing and other operating expenses are based in part on anticipated net revenues, a substantial portion of which may not be generated until the end of each quarter. Delays in the receipt or shipment of orders, or the actual loss of product orders, can cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter.

Our restructuring efforts may not improve our operational performance

We have restructured our operations and announced changes in strategic direction in the past:

In June 1999, we extended our offering of embedded database products by acquiring Raima Corporation, a Seattle-based vendor of cross-platform micro-databases and data management tools. Through this acquisition we were further able to focus our efforts throughout 1999 and 2000 on the Information Appliance and Intelligent Device markets.
In February 2001 we completed a divestiture of our client/server product and services business. The divestiture provides management the ability to devote its complete attention and resources to developing new products and services related to mobile, wireless, and embedded computing. Management believes that the mobile and embedded markets provide greater growth potential than the client/server business.
In April 2001 we instituted a reduction in force program of approximately 40 and wage and salary decreases for all employees worldwide in an effort to conserve cash and reduce expenses. The pay decreases ranged from 10% for individual contributors up to 30% for vice presidents. Six of the Company's senior executives are being paid at $1.00 per year, with stock incentives.

We may possibly undertake other major restructuring efforts or changes in strategic direction in the future. It is uncertain whether our past or future strategic changes will improve our operational results.

Our inability to retain or attract key personnel may prevent our business from growing.

We are highly dependent on our executive officers and other key personnel, and the loss of these employees may harm our competitive position. Our future success will also depend largely on our ability to continue to attract highly skilled personnel. Competition is intense for employees with highly technical, management, and other skills in the software industry, and it may be difficult to attract or retain qualified key employees. Without strong management and talented employees we may not continue to develop successful new products or to obtain important strategic alliances.

In April 2001 we instituted wage and salary decreases for all employees worldwide in an effort to conserve cash and reduce expenses. The pay decreases ranged from 10% for individual contributors up to 30% for vice presidents. Six of the Company's senior executives are being paid at $1.00 per year, with stock incentives. These wage and salary decreases may reduce the company's ability to attract and retain personnel.

The lack of timely market delivery of our products and services or the inability to achieve market acceptance may result in negative publicity and losses

The markets for our software products and services are characterized by rapid technological developments, evolving industry standards, swift changes in customer requirements, computer operating environments, and frequent new product introductions and enhancements. If one or more competitors introduce products that better address customer needs we may lose our market positioning and momentum, and as a consequence our revenues may decrease.

Our success depends on the ability of our primary products, including Mbrane's Touchpoint Mobile Companion; Touchpoint Embedded Companion (including RDM); Touchpoint Server Partner; and Velocis to perform well in various business hardware and software application environments, and on the ability of our consulting organization to successfully assist customers in their solutions development. Any failure to deliver these products and services as scheduled, their failure to achieve market acceptance, rapid technological change, or failure to timely release new versions or upgrades, could result in negative publicity and decreased sales. Like many software companies, we have experienced delays in the development of new products and product versions, resulting in loss or delays of product revenues. There can be no assurance that we will not experience further delays in connection with our current product development or future development activities. We are also increasingly dependent on the efforts of third-party "partners," including system integrators, independent software vendors and distributors, to develop, implement, service and support our products. These third parties increasingly have opportunities to select from a very broad range of products from our competitors, many of whom have greater resources and market acceptance than ours. In order for our products and services to succeed in the market we must actively recruit and sustain relationships with these third parties.

Software errors in some of our products may cause our future sales to decrease

Software products as complex as those offered by us may contain undetected errors when first introduced, or as new versions are released. Although we have not experienced material adverse effects resulting from any such errors to date, errors could be found in new products or releases after commencement of commercial shipments, resulting in adverse product reviews and a loss of or delay in market acceptance.

If our target customers shift requirements away from mobile, wireless, and embedded systems software applications, demand for our products may decrease significantly

To date, substantially all of our revenues have been derived from the licensing of our embedded database products for PC client/server systems and other embedded software environments. Licensing of products for use in mobile, wireless, embedded systems, and related consulting and support services, is expected to account for substantially all of our revenues for the foreseeable future. The market for mobile, wireless and embedded systems in general, and the segments of such market addressed by our products in particular, are relatively new. Our future financial performance will depend in part on the continued expansion of this market and these market segments, the growth in the demand for our other products, as well as increased acceptance of our products by information technology professionals. We cannot assure you that the market for mobile, wireless and embedded systems software in general, and the relevant segments of the market addressed by our products in particular, will continue to grow. Neither can we assure that we will be able to respond effectively to the evolving requirements of the market and market segments, or that information technology professionals will accept our products. If we are not successful in developing, marketing, localizing and selling applications that gain commercial acceptance on a timely basis, our competitive position may suffer and our revenues may decrease.

The market for mobile, wireless, and embedded systems software is highly competitive, and we risk losing our market share to other companies

The mobile, wireless, and embedded systems software market is intensely competitive and rapidly changing. Our current and prospective competitors offer a variety of solutions to address this market segment. Competitors range from providers of connectivity and synchronization solutions, such as Abaco, Aether Systems, Broadbeam, Brience, Palm, Everypath, Fusion One, Odyssey, and Pumatech to providers of both connectivity-synchronization and small footprint embeddable databases such as IBM, Microsoft, Object Store, Oracle, Point Base and Sybase. Our competitors could introduce products with more features and lower prices than our offerings. These companies could also form partnerships with established companies to compete with us. As our market expands, it becomes more attractive to any number of companies. Companies with significantly greater resources than ours could attempt to enter the market, or increase their presence in the market, by acquisition, forming strategic alliances with our competitors, or by introducing products specifically designed for these markets.

Our inability to compete successfully in international markets may reduce our revenues.

For the year ended December 31, 2000 our international sales were 56% of our net revenues, for the year ended December 31, 1999 our international sales were 55% of our net revenues, and for the year ended December 31, 1998 our international sales were 54% of our net revenues. A key component of our strategy is continued expansion into international markets particularly as the international market for mobile, wireless and embedded systems software has in many instances developed ahead of domestic markets. We currently anticipate that international sales, particularly in new and emerging markets, will continue to account for a significant percentage of total revenues. We will need to retain effective VARs, and hire, retain and motivate qualified personnel internationally to maintain and/or expand our international presence. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully market, sell, localize, and deliver our products in international markets. There are also risks inherent in doing business internationally; unexpected changes in regulatory requirements and government controls, problems and delays in collecting accounts receivable, tariffs, export license requirements and other trade barriers, difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations, longer payment cycles, political and economic instability, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, seasonal reductions in business activity during summer months in Europe and other parts of the world, restrictions on the export of critical technology, and potentially adverse tax consequences, could adversely impact the success of international operations. In addition, effective copyright and trade secret protection may be limited or unavailable under the laws of some foreign jurisdictions. Also, sales of our products are denominated either in the local currency of the respective geographic region or in US dollars, depending upon the economic stability of that region and locally accepted business practices. Any increase in the value of the US dollar, relative to local currencies in those markets, may negatively impact our competitive position and our revenues.

Our inability to adequately protect our proprietary technology may result in losing our competitive position

We currently have two patents pending with respect to our proprietary encryption methodology and four patents pending with respect to our Touchpoint Companion and Server architecture. The source code for our proprietary software is protected both as a trade secret and as a copyrighted work. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology without authorization, or to develop similar technology independently. In addition, effective copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in some foreign countries. We generally enter into confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, consultants, and vendors, and generally control access to and distribution of our software, documentation, and other proprietary information. Despite efforts to protect proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that is regarded as proprietary. Policing such unauthorized use is difficult. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by us will prevent misappropriation of our technology or that such agreements will be enforceable. In addition, litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce intellectual property rights, to protect trade secrets, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources. Third parties may also claim infringement by us with respect to current or future products. We expect that we will increasingly be subject to such claims as the number of products and competitors in the mobile, wireless, and embedded system software markets grow and the functionality of such products overlaps with other industry segments. In the past, we have received notices alleging that our products infringe trademarks of third parties. We have historically dealt with and will in the future continue to deal with such claims in the ordinary course of business, evaluating the merits of each claim on an individual basis. There are currently no material pending legal proceedings against us regarding trademark infringement.

Any third party infringement claims, whether or not they are meritorious, could result in costly litigation or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. If such agreements are required, they may be unavailable or only available on unacceptable terms. If we were found to have infringed upon the proprietary rights of third parties we could be required to pay damages, cease sales of the infringing products, and redesign or discontinue such products.

Our inability to obtain additional financing on favorable terms may substantially harm the future growth of our business.

We are seeking additional capital to finance continuing operations and the acquisition of new products, technologies, and capital equipment. There is no assurance regarding the availability or terms of this financing. Additional capital in the form of equity financing may also result in significant dilution to our existing stockholders.

Future issuance of shares of our common stock under existing option plans and outstanding warrants, will dilute the ownership of our existing stockholders and the sale of such shares could negatively affect our stock price.

As of March 31, 2001, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 1,774,000 shares of our common stock and outstanding options to purchase 10,350,000 shares of our common stock. Future issuance of such shares of our common stock under these outstanding warrants and options, will dilute the ownership of our stockholders. In addition, sales, including block sales, of a significant number of shares of common stock, or the potential for such sales, could adversely affect the prevailing stock market price for our common stock.

Conversion of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and exercise of the related warrants will dilute the interests of existing stockholders.

On March 9, 2001 we issued 2,000 shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, for a price of $1,000 per share, and entered into an agreement to issue and sell an additional 3,000 shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, subject to certain conditions, and extended an option to purchase an additional 6,000 shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, together with warrants to purchase 114,000 shares of common stock. Should any of these securities be converted or exercised, the interests of our existing stockholders will be diluted proportionately.

Our failure to obtain stockholder approval of certain proposals in connection with the sale of our Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock would have adverse financial effects on the Company.

Our agreement to sell our Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock requires that we seek stockholder approval to increase our total number of authorized shares and approval to sell and issue to the investor securities representing more than 20% of our outstanding common stock, which may occur under certain circumstances. The failure of our stockholders to approve either of these proposals will result in material financial penalties to us, including the requirement that we redeem shares of the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock at 130% of their purchase price, plus accumulated unpaid dividends.

The failure of our stockholders to approve a proposal to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock would have a significant adverse effect on our business.

At our next stockholder meeting, we intend to seek stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock available for issuance from 60,000,000 to 90,000,000 shares. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we will be unable to complete our existing agreement to sell 3,000 shares of our Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock for an aggregate gross purchase price of $3,000,000 and unable to raise additional capital through the issuance of other equity securities, to consummate strategic acquisitions, or to issue stock for other purposes.

Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates that could impact our results of operations and financial condition.

We have managed our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk using derivative financial instruments (forward contracts) as a risk management tool and not for speculative or trading purposes

We have used these foreign exchange contracts to reduce significant exposure to the risk that the eventual net cash flows resulting largely from the sale of products and services to non-U.S. customers will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. These instruments allow us to reduce our overall exposure to exchange rates as the gains and losses on the contracts offset the losses and gains on the assets, liabilities and assets being hedged.

However, annual gains and losses may differ materially from this analysis, based on the changes in the timing and amount of foreign currency exchange rate movements and our actual exposures and hedges.

At March 31, 2001, we had a total of $4.9 million in 30-day forward contracts. The forward contracts are comprised of: German Deutsche Marks ($1.6 million), British Pounds Sterling ($2.0 million), Netherlands Guilders ($0.5 million), Italian Lire ($0.1 million) and Australian Dollar ($0.7 million). The carrying value of these of these financial instruments approximates their respective fair values.

In May 2001 the Company ceased using derivative financial instruments (forward contracts) to hedge foreign currency exposure. While forward contracts can reduce the risk of exchange rates on the operations of the company, they also involve risk in that any realized losses on forward contracts must be paid when the contract comes due. Given the liquidity position of the Company, management decided to eliminate the risk of incurring realized losses on forward contracts. The Company will continue to hedge specific substantial individual foreign denominated receivables from time to time.

Additionally, the decline in value of non-U.S. dollar currencies may adversely impact our ability to contract for sales in U.S. dollars and our products and services may become more expensive to purchase in U.S. dollars for local customers doing business in the countries of the affected currencies.

Our international business is also subject to risks customarily encountered in foreign operations, including changes in a specific country's or region's political or economic conditions, trade protection measures, import or export licensing requirements, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements and natural disasters.

We are subject to interest rate risk on our investment portfolio. However, our portfolio consists of only cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2001, and thus our interest rate risk is not material.

We are further subject to interest rate risk on our asset based loan facility. However, we believe that the adverse movements of interest rates would not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal proceedings

As of March 31, 2001, to the best of our knowledge there were no pending actions, potential actions, claims or proceedings against us that could reasonably be expected to result in damages to us which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. We exist in a volatile legal and regulatory environment and it is not possible to anticipate or estimate the potential adverse impact of unknown claims or liabilities against us, our officers and directors, and as such no estimate is made in our financial statements for such unknown claims or liabilities.

Item 2. Changes in securities and use of proceeds

On March 12, 2001, the Company completed a private placement of equity securities in the first of up to three issuances. The equity securities issued are Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"), as designated in the Company's Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designation") filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 9, 2001. The first issuance of Preferred Stock, in the amount of $2 million, is convertible into shares of common stock at the lesser of an average market price of shares of our common stock immediately preceding conversion, or $1.75 per share. The second issuance of Preferred Stock is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions (including stockholder approval) and is expected, subject to the satisfaction those conditions, to close in the third quarter of 2001. If the conditions are satisfied, the amount of the second issuance will be between $2 million and $3 million. The conversion price of the Preferred Stock involved in the second issuance is dependent on the price of the Company's common stock prior to the second issuance. The third issuance, if consummated, would be based on a call option held by first issuance investors under which the investors would acquire up to an additional $6 million of Preferred Stock. The conversion price of the Preferred Stock purchased in the third issuance would be at the lesser of an average market price of shares of our common stock immediately preceding conversion, or $2.00 per share. Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 114,286 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.01 per share, which expire in March 2006, were also issued to purchasers in the private placement. Additional warrants could be issued in connection with the second and third issuances.

The Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holders at a premium, upon the occurrence of events defined in the Certificate of Designation. Examples of such events are: a change in ownership or voting control of the Company, a delisting of the Company's common stock from the Nasdaq National Market or the inability to register the underlying common stock using Form S-3. The redemption amount differs depending on the nature of the event. For example, in the event of a change in control, or a delisting from the Nasdaq Small Cap or National Market, the redemption amount is 125% of the cumulative face value of the Preferred Stock, outstanding at the time of the event. In the event of the Company's inability to register the underlying common stock within 100 days from the initial issuance date, the redemption amount is 130% of the cumulative face value of the Preferred Stock, outstanding at the time of the event.

The Preferred Stock has no voting rights although, if converted into common stock, those shares of common stock would have voting rights.

We will accrete to 130% of the face value of the Preferred Stock over 150 days, the shortest period for which an event that is out of our control could trigger redemption by the holders of the Preferred Stock.

The purchaser of the Preferred Stock also received warrants to purchase up to 114,286 shares of common stock at $2.01 per share. The warrants expire in March 2006.

The Preferred Stock was purchased by Peconic Fund, Ltd.

This transaction was a private placement pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
