PART I ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Corporate Profile TREEV, Inc. ("TREEV" or the "Company") is a leading developer and marketer of document management technologies. TREEV provides client/server and Internet solutions for document management, document imaging, enterprise report management (COLD), and workflow process reengineering. The Company's TREEV Suite of software products allows organizations to electronically capture, manage, store, and distribute large volumes of information to geographically dispersed enterprises. This information includes computer reports, engineering drawings, scanned images, office documents, photos, voice files and video clips. The Company's software products have been installed in over 2,000 banks, Fortune 1000 corporations, and government agencies. TREEV's corporate headquarters, product development and marketing operations are located in Herndon, Virginia. Regional sales offices are located across the United States. The Company also has a testing and customer service facility in Denver, Colorado. The Business Case for Integrated Document Management Software Solutions Organizations are continually looking for ways to more easily process and distribute large volumes of information throughout an enterprise. Traditional paper-based manual filing, retrieval, and distribution methodologies are slow, labor intensive, and require bulky file storage. This problem is compounded by the fact that, while businesses are becoming more decentralized, they are, at the same time, attempting to better share information across their operations. The TREEV Suite of software products solves this problem and I-1 satisfies the needs of companies looking for fast information access and the ability to share documents across departments. Ultimately, the ability to retrieve information from any corporate data repository, evaluate it and distribute this knowledge to other locations leads to increased productivity. TREEV's integrated document management software addresses this pressing business need. The Company's products are well suited to handle the growing use of digital information that organizations are creating and distributing through the Internet. Leveraging the Growth of the Internet It is no secret that the Internet has become a driving economic force in business today. At its foundation, the Internet provides a standardized communications vehicle for connecting a business with its customers. Until recently, businesses have used the Internet as a medium for publishing information to their customers. Initially, many implementations took the form of an "electronic brochure." Even though there was an ever-increasing amount of important data being provided on the Internet, the communication interface was primarily one way. Businesses are in the second phase of commercial deployment over the Internet. Electronic commerce applications requiring full interactive transaction processing are being implemented. We are now entering the third phase of Internet development. In this phase businesses will fully connect with their clients, diminishing the differences between internal information systems and external web-based applications. TREEV's products are well positioned to provide small and large-scale Internet document management applications to handle this business need. The TREEV Suite The TREEV Suite of integrated software products provides a scalable framework of building blocks for developing customizable client/server and Web-based applications for managing documents, files, and other unstructured data types. Based on Microsoft's COM architecture, the TREEV Suite utilizes industrial strength document management, document imaging, enterprise report management, and workflow engines for rapid, cost-effective development of enterprise information solutions. TREEV's standards-based design and unique "adapter" architecture allows for connectivity to leading third-party document management systems and seamless integration with existing production applications. I-2 Key Benefits of the TREEV Product Suite o TREEV provides a single, consistent application interface for both end users and developers. The document management, document imaging, enterprise report management, and workflow engines have been seamlessly combined using TREEV's COM-based architecture. o TREEV provides a framework of adapters for connecting document management and other external systems with production applications. TREEV is committed to delivering seamless connectivity to other vendors' repositories. This unique strategy allows companies to combine existing heterogeneous systems into a simple, easy-to-integrate framework, thus lowering the cost and time risk of implementing company-wide solutions. Companies can build on their pre-existing hardware and software investments. o TREEV offers off-the-shelf, custom, and customizable, client/server and Web-based applications. Internal and external users can retrieve and view corporate information through a Microsoft Windows or a browser interface in both intranet and Internet environments. TREEV Suite Components The TREEV suite embodies the concept of "from anywhere to any user". TREEV's core engines - document management, document imaging, enterprise report management, and workflow - are the foundation of TREEV's component-based framework. They are described below: OmniTREEV - this patented software solution manages the content and storage of multimedia data types such as text, images, audio files or video clips. OmniTREEV handles the management, storage, and distribution of any type of multimedia or document object in high-transaction, client/server and Internet environments. Companies, which utilize OmniTREEV, can seamlessly multimedia-enable existing or new database applications while preserving their investments in legacy information systems and hardware equipment. DocuTREEV - this document management system allows the user to capture, store and retrieve scanned images, word processing documents, spreadsheets and other graphical files. Images can be stored and retrieved from magnetic disk (RAID), CD-R, or optical disk. DocuTREEV effectively replaces the use of paper and microfilm as a storage medium and takes advantage of Windows NT, UNIX, and SQL technologies to deliver a true enterprise-wide scalable solution. I-3 DataTREEV - this enterprise report management software provides a storage and retrieval system which offers high-volume, high-speed handling of mission-critical report data for mainframe and client/server environments. In its IBM MVS or VSE mainframe environment, DataTREEV off-loads report management and storage operations to a dedicated Microsoft NT server thus minimizing the use of host CPU and DASD resources. DataTREEV acquires and manages reports from virtually any platform and provides simultaneous access to Internet, Windows, and 3270 terminal-based users. AutoTREEV - this easy-to-implement software application is designed to automate complex business processes. Its patented rules-based workflow engine stores logic that moves documents through an automated process based on the definition of work types, users and tasks, and the recognition of dynamic processing conditions. Education and Support Services Education, customer service and support are key competitive elements in today's business environment. TREEV is dedicated to providing the best product and system expertise, project management and guidance for delivering integrated document management solutions. The Company's 24 hour, 7 days a week, customer service program, based primarily in Denver, Colorado, is one of the most comprehensive in the industry. TREEV's educational services department also offers a complete range of training classes to help clients and business partners acquire the technical training needed to succeed. Classes are held in Herndon, Virginia, Denver, Colorado, and at client sites around the country. Product Development Product development is located at the Company's headquarters in Herndon, Virginia. During 1998, the product development group focused on completing product release plans for the TREEV 2000(TM) product suite to support the company's short- and long-term revenue goals. Strategically, the TREEV 2000(TM) suite has been developed to help Value Added Resellers ("VARs") easily develop customized document management applications to satisfy complex business problems. Because TREEV 2000(TM) is based on Microsoft's COM architecture, both integrators and VARs are able to rapidly build complete, Microsoft-compatible vertical applications according to individual customer specifications. TREEV's flexible, easy-to-use design also allows for connectivity to leading third-party document management systems and integration with existing line-of-business applications. The Company hopes to leverage this technology through its partners to penetrate new vertical markets. TREEV 2000(TM) has also been specifically adapted to respond to growing E-commerce demands for Internet document presentment. I-4 The Company views the product development organization as one of its key assets and will continue to invest in building its infrastructure, refining the group's software development methodology, and implementing the TREEV 2000TM product strategy. Assembly and Sources of Supply The Company assembles its products at its facilities in Herndon, Virginia and Denver, Colorado. The Company relies exclusively on outside suppliers for the hardware components of its products such as scanners, computers and optical disk drives and jukeboxes. Most parts and components are currently available from multiple sources at competitive prices. To date, the Company has not experienced significant delays in obtaining parts and components, and although there can be no assurance, the Company does not expect to experience such delays in the future. Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights The Company has registered certain trademarks and copyrights in the United States and various foreign countries. The TREEV family of product names used herein are registered or unregistered trademarks owned by the Company. The Company also has two patents. A patent for the enterprise multimedia system and method using scalable object-based architecture, which primarily relates to the Company's OmniTREEV product, was granted on February 17, 1998. A patent for the rule engine interface for a visual workflow builder, which primarily relates to the Company's AutoTREEV product, was granted on June 30, 1998. The Company has also applied for other patents on certain of its key technologies. In general, however, management believes that the competitive position of the Company depends primarily on the skill, knowledge and experience of TREEV's personnel and their ability to develop, market and support software products, and that its business is not materially dependent on copyright protection, trademarks or patents. The Company believes that all of its products are of a proprietary nature and its licensing agreements generally prohibit program disclosure. It is possible, however, for product users or competitors to copy portions of the Company's products without its consent. Licenses for a number of software products have been granted to the Company for its own use or for remarketing to its customers. In the aggregate, these license are material to the business of the Company, but the Company believes that the loss of any one of these licenses would not materially affect the Company's results of operations or financial position. I-5 Warranty and Service Warranties for hardware sold by the Company are generally provided by the manufacturer. The Company provides initial warranties and ongoing service contracts usually covering one year for its software products. The Company recognizes revenue under service contracts ratably over the contract period. Competition Virtually every software vendor in TREEV's marketspace has built its business by delivering proprietary development tools and interfaces. Because of this fact, these systems are inappropriate for a wide range of applications. One of the primary attributes of TREEV's technology is its ability to address a wide range of information needs, from simple departmental applications to more complex enterprise-wide systems. TREEV delivers open systems that give customers the freedom to determine their own development environment. With the release of TREEV 2000TM, the company has created a Microsoft-centric framework for developing and delivering imaging, enterprise report management, workflow, and document management applications. TREEV believes it will benefit from this strategic product positioning as more and more organizations look for real-time document access and tighter production systems integration. With image-enabled applications becoming more commonplace, the need to bring document management systems into the IT mainstream has become paramount. Microsoft is accelerating this process by moving the industry toward rapid application development with widely accepted development languages, tools, and techniques. Historically, TREEV's customers have chosen its products over competitive offerings because of the product's ability to easily scale across an enterprise and for its open, flexible architecture. "Scalability," "immediate access to information," and "the ability to manage geographically dispersed datastores into a single application" are all reasons customers cite for choosing TREEV's software. With TREEV, many customers improve their efficiency up to 40% and reduce paper consumption by as much as 65%. Regarding specific vertical markets, TREEV is considered to be a dominant vendor in the banking industry. TREEV provides banks with document imaging and report management systems that improve customer service and significantly reduce paper production and storage. The Company's software facilitates daily operations such as tracking signature cards, loan documentation, and checking account statements. I-6 TREEV's competitors vary depending upon vertical market focus and overall client system requirements. FileNET, Eastman Software and IBM are primary competitors for large Integrated Document and Output Management (IDOM) enterprise-level installations. Smaller IDOM competitors include Optika, Macrosoft, Hyland, and OTG Software. Competition from single product vendors includes Documentum, INSCI, Adesso (TASC) and Staffware. Sales and Marketing The Company sells its integrated document software products indirectly through business partners or VARs and directly within the banking marketplace through its own sales force. Sales/sales support offices are located in or near Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, Orlando, San Francisco, and Washington DC. The Company is positioning itself to sell its software products through indirect sales partners such as VARs, system integrators and original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"). Its recently developed Business Alliance Program (BAP) is a catalyst and support vehicle for these marketing partnerships. TREEV is also forming alliances with vendors of complementary product technologies such as companies who market and manufacture database, application development, systems management, and communication and connectivity software. TREEV's Financial Services Group continues to increase its banking industry penetration as it sells the new TREEV Suite--specifically imaging, Enterprise Report Management and workflow--to its existing and growing client base of 2,000 banks. The company also maintains major accounts in the telecommunications and public sector markets. Lucent Technologies, for example, uses TREEV's OmniTREEV Web-based document management software to capture, store, and manage CAD/CAM files, engineering drawings, and text-based operations manuals for its internal and field engineers. In the public sector, HCFA uses TREEV's technology to monitor and process Medicare payments. In this case, TREEV's software improved form throughput and processing times by 25%. TREEV's software is also used at the U.S Treasury and the Department of Defense. The Company maintains active marketing programs for both its indirect and direct sales channels. This includes representation at national trade events, seminars, user group meetings, press and analyst tours, advertising in major industry and news publications and participation in lead generation activities such as direct mail campaigns. The Company's BAP has also been expanded to include co-op marketing activities on a regional and national level. I-7 Business Dispositions During 1994, the Company committed itself to a plan of restructuring which was designed to improve operating results by concentrating the Company's resources on the marketing and continued development of its main suite of software products. In connection with its restructuring plan, the Company, during 1995, 1996 and 1997, disposed of a number of operating units (the "Divestitures" or the "Divested Businesse(s)") which were not considered complimentary to the Company's business. As a result of the Divestitures, the Company recorded a gain of $266,000 in 1997 and losses of $921,000 and $9.3 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The aggregate consideration received by the Company from the Divestitures was $1.6 million in cash and $11.2 million in notes receivable, of which $1.1 million was reserved as uncollectible at December 31, 1997, and written off during 1998. The Company sold the stock of its French subsidiary, Dorotech, in the fourth quarter of 1997 and its Symmetrical Technologies, Inc., subsidiary in 1996. During 1995, the Company disposed of the following operations: Hunt Valley Division (formerly NSI, Inc.), Network Imaging (UK Holdings) Limited, Microsouth, Inc., Tekgraf, Inc., P E Systems, Inc., WildSoft Division, and IBZ Digital Production AG. Employees The Company's success is highly dependent on its ability to attract and retain qualified employees. Competition for employees is intense in the software industry and particularly in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. To date, the Company believes it has been successful in its efforts to recruit qualified employees, but there is no assurance that it will continue to be as successful in the future. None of the Company's employees are represented by a labor union. The Company has experienced no work stoppage and believes that its employee relations are good. At January 31, 1999, the Company employed 210 people. I-8 Directors and Executive Officers of the Company Name Age Position James J.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Introduction The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included herein. II-3 Forward Looking Statements and Certain Risk Factors This "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K contains certain forward looking statements that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. In addition, the Company may publish or make forward looking statements from time to time relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects and strategies, sales and marketing efforts, technological developments, new products, research and development activities, and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations made in the Company's forward looking statements in this Annual Report or elsewhere. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in other documents the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically any Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by the Company. Some risks and uncertainties of the Company that should be considered by the reader include: The adverse results of operations that the Company has experienced have been declining, and the Company's operating results were profitable during the last quarter of 1998. Although the Company expects the trend of improved operating results to continue, there can be no assurances that the Company will not experience adverse results of operations in the future. The Company has had net losses in each period of its operations since its inception, except for two quarters including the most current one, and it had an accumulated deficit at December 31, 1998 of $131.8 million. The computer industry, including the information access, document management, imaging and optical disk storage segments, is highly competitive, and is characterized by rapid and continuous technological change. The Company's future profitability will depend on, among other things, market acceptance of the Company's products and on the Company's ability to develop in a timely fashion enhancements to existing products or new products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to market successfully its current products, develop and market enhancements to existing products or introduce new products. II-4 Year 2000 Readiness The Year 2000 computer problem originated from programmers writing software code that used two digits instead of four to represent the year. After December 31, 1999, computers and software may incorrectly assume that the year is "1900" rather than "2000." This could lead to system failures and disruptions to activities and operations. In addition, Year 2000 is a leap year, which may further exacerbate incorrect calculations, functions or system failures. At this time it is difficult to predict the effects such disruptions could have and the liabilities that any company may face as a result of these failures. Moreover, companies must not only consider their own products and computer systems, but also the Year 2000 readiness of any third parties, including principal vendors. State of Readiness The Company became aware in 1997 of its potential Year 2000 issues and established a plan to assess its Year 2000 issues and develop an overall strategy. In 1998, the Company began an assessment of its products, its own information technology ("IT") and non-IT systems and the Company's vendors to determine whether they are or will be Year 2000 ready. To ensure that the IT and non-IT systems are, or will be, Year 2000 ready, surveys of the Company's products, services and systems were conducted. These included: audits and analyses of the Company's internal IT systems including hardware and software; assessment of critical non-IT systems; and surveys on principal vendors as to Year 2000 readiness. The Company identified several internal IT and non-IT systems that were not Year 2000 ready. These internal systems have either been replaced or modified with Year 2000 ready systems or will be upgraded to the Year 2000 ready product. All internal system upgrades are expected to be completed by the third quarter of 1999. The Company has received written assurances from material principal vendors as to Year 2000 readiness within that timeframe. The majority of the Company's efforts regarding Year 2000 readiness focused on the Company's products, specifically software applications. As an integral part of the Company's assessment of whether its software products are Year 2000 ready it has established a Year 2000 test force (the "Test Force"). The Test Force has been tasked with providing testing and validation of the Company's Year 2000 readiness of its software products currently being sold to its customers. The Company believes that the current versions of the TREEV Suite of software products are Year 2000 ready. Customers using versions other than current versions of the software products have been given the opportunity, pursuant to maintenance plans or upgrade options, to receive current versions of the software. II-5 Costs to Address Year 2000 Readiness Issues The calculation of costs incurred has been limited to bringing the Company's software products, and its own IT and non-IT systems to Year 2000 readiness or to accelerating replacement systems to become Year 2000 ready. Costs incurred in the normal maintenance of the Company's IT and non-IT systems are not included. The total cost of the Year 2000 readiness project is estimated at $740,000 and is being funded through operating cash flows. Of the total project cost, approximately $260,000 is attributable to enhancements of the Company's software products and the purchase of new IT and non-IT systems which will be capitalized. The remaining $480,000 which will be expensed as incurred, is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations. To date, the Company has incurred approximately $460,000 ($320,000 expensed and $140,000 capitalized) related to the assessment and validation efforts on the Year 2000 readiness project and the development of a modification plan and purchase of new IT and non-IT systems and systems modifications. The costs of the Year 2000 readiness project and the date by which the Company believes it will complete the Year 2000 readiness modifications are based on management's best estimates and are based on certain assumptions of future events, including the continued availability of certain resources and other factors. However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated. Specific factors that might cause such material differences include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost of personnel trained in the Year 2000 readiness area and the ability to locate and correct all relevant computer codes. Company's Contingency Plans At the present time, the Company anticipates that essential software products and IT and non-IT systems will be validated as Year 2000 ready in all material respects. This belief is based on the progress to date and the assessed degree of difficulty associated with the remaining phases to achieve Year 2000 readiness. Contingency plans are under development and the Company anticipates that acceptable alternatives will be available in the event that a contingency arises. These contingency plans generally anticipate use of alternative vendors for hardware and operating systems. Nevertheless, it is not possible for the Company to fully assess the likelihood or magnitude of consequences of Year 2000 issues, should representations made by vendors prove to be in error. Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act This section captioned "Year 2000 Readiness," as well as other statements herein or otherwise relating to the Year 2000 issues, are "Year 2000 Readiness Disclosures" pursuant to the "Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act." II-6 Results of Operations Revenue. Product revenue includes sales of software licenses and computer equipment. Product revenue is recognized upon delivery or, if applicable, acceptance. Service revenue includes software maintenance contracts, installation and customization. Service revenue is recognized over the terms of the related contracts as the services are completed or under the percentage of completion method where appropriate. Total revenue was $28 million in 1998, $36 million in 1997 and $39 million in 1996. The decrease in total revenue in 1998 over 1997 of $7.6 million, or 21%, resulted primarily from a decrease in service revenue of $6.1 million, or 35%, and a decrease in product revenue of $1.5 million, or 8%. The decrease in total revenue in 1997 over 1996 of $3.7 million, or 9%, resulted primarily from a decrease in service revenue of $3.6 million or 17%. The decrease in product revenue in 1998 over 1997 was attributable to an increase of $2.1 million, or 14%, in comparative company revenues, offset by a decrease of $3.6 million due to the disposition in 1997 of the Company's subsidiary in France ("Dorotech"). Although reported product revenue remained unchanged in 1997 over 1996, product revenue decreased $3.4 million due to the Divestitures and increased $3.4 million from the Company's continuing operations. The decrease in service revenue in 1998 over 1997 of $6.1 million was a result of a $7.7 million decrease due to the disposition of Dorotech, offset by a $1.6 million, or 16%, increase in comparative company revenues. The decrease in service revenue in 1997, compared to 1996, of $3.6 million was attributable to the Divestitures which reduced service revenue by $5.1 million, offset by an increase of $1.5 million in the Company's continuing service operations. The increase in comparative company service revenue in 1998 and 1997 was attributable to increased staffing and continued management emphasis on the professional services business. Due to the collapse and delayed recovery of the Asian financial market, one of TREEV's customers in Malaysia was unable to fulfill the original payment terms of its agreement with the Company. In order to comply with standard accounting rules, the Company reversed the revenue associated with the agreement in the amounts of $841,000 in the second quarter of 1998 and $1,659,000 in the third quarter of 1998, thereby decreasing revenue in those quarters. Accordingly, in March 1999, the Company filed amendments to its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the second and third quarters of 1998. Profit Margins. Profit margins for product sales continued to improve in 1998 over 1997 from 54% to 59% as the cost of products sold decreased from 46% to 41% of sales. Profit margins for product sales improved in 1997 over 1996 from 46% to 54% as the cost of products sold decreased from 54% to 46% of sales. The increase in product sales margins was primarily due to the increased sales mix of the Company's internally developed software products and the disposition in 1997 of Dorotech which had a 74% cost of products sold. II-7 Profit margins for service sales increased in 1998 over 1997 from 22% to 32% as the cost of services decreased from 78% to 68% of sales. The increase in service sales margins was due to the Company's continued emphasis on its custom development and professional services. Profit margins for service sales decreased in 1997 over 1996 from 25% to 22% as the cost of services increased from 75% to 78% of sales. The decrease in service sales margins was attributable to declines at the Company's former French subsidiary during the first three quarters of 1997. Product Development. The Company's expenditures on software research and development activities ("R&D") in 1998 were $5.4 million, of which $1.6 million was capitalized and $3.8 million was expensed. The $500,000 decrease in R&D expenditures was attributable to the Company's 1997 disposition of Dorotech, which reduced R&D expenditures by $800,000, offset by a $300,000 increase in comparative Company R&D expenses. The Company's expenditures on software R&D activities in 1997 were $5.9 million, of which $1.5 million was capitalized and $4.4 million was expensed. The Company's expenditures on software R&D in 1996 were $7.3 million, of which $2.0 million was capitalized and $5.3 million was expensed. The $1.4 million decrease in R&D expenditures is attributable to the Company's 1996 plan to consolidate various product development groups into a common product development organization operating under a single senior manager. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") were $15.6 million, or 55% of revenue, in 1998, $20.3 million, or 57% of revenue, in 1997 and $24.6 million, or 62% of revenue, in 1996. The decrease in 1998 compared to 1997 of $4.7 million, or 23%, was the result of the Company's 1997 disposition of Dorotech, which accounted for a $3.6 million decrease in addition to a $1.1 million decrease in general and administrative expenses from continuing operations due to the Company's increased cost reduction efforts. The decrease in 1997 compared to 1996 of $4.4 million, or 18%, was the result of the Divestitures which accounted for a $3.1 million decrease in addition to a $1.3 million decrease from continuing operations due to the Company's cost reduction efforts. Exchange Fee and Gain on Sale of Asset, Net. During 1996, the Company paid a fee of $650,000 plus $80,000 of expenses in connection with the extension of the redemption date of the Company's Series F Preferred Stock. During 1996, the Company realized a $111,000 gain on the disposition of stock distributed to the Company by its medical insurance provider. Restructuring Costs. During the second quarter of 1998, the Company committed to a Restructuring Plan ("the 1998 Plan") and incurred a charge of $1.5 million (See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Under the 1994 Restructuring Plan, the Company incurred a net change in estimate of $175,000 in 1996. II-8 Interest Income (Expense), Net. Net interest expense was $56,000 in 1998 and $286,000 in 1997. Net interest income was $309,000 in 1996. The $230,000 decrease in interest expense was attributable primarily to the line of credit with a stockholder drawn on during 1997 which was converted into equity at the end of 1997 and the beginning of 1998. The interest income in 1996 was primarily attributable to the interest earned for the cash received from the offerings done during the first three quarters of 1996. Income Taxes. The Company incurred an income tax benefit of $68,000 in 1996 as a result of the net operating losses generated by Dorotech's operations offset by a decrease in Dorotech's net deferred tax liabilities. Net Loss. The Company's net loss was $7.3 million in 1998, $11.3 million in 1997 and $17.3 million in 1996. The $4.0 million decrease in net loss between 1998 and 1997 was due to the $4.7 million decrease in SG&A expenses and the $600,000 decrease in product development expenses, offset by the $1.5 million restructuring costs. The $6.0 million decrease in net loss between 1997 and 1996 was due to the $4.4 million reduction in SG&A expenses, the $900,000 reduction in product development expenses and the loss on the sale of subsidiary in 1996. The entities divested in 1997 and 1996 contributed a net loss of approximately $840,000 and $2.1 million, respectively, in each of those years. Net Loss Applicable to Common Shares. Net loss applicable to common shares includes adjustments for accrued and imputed dividends related to the Company's preferred stock. The net loss applicable to common shares was $8.7 million, or $1.12 per share, in 1998; $14.3 million, or $2.27 per share, in 1997 and $21.1 million, or $4.08 per share, in 1996. The decrease in 1998 over 1997 was primarily attributable to the decrease in net loss described above. The decrease in 1997 over 1996 was attributable to the decrease in net loss described above and the reduction in preferred stock dividends of $2.3 million. The imputed dividends of $1.5 million recognized during 1997 were non-cash and related to the below market conversion feature of the Company's Series K and L Preferred Stock. The $2.3 million reduction in accrued dividends related primarily to the amendment to the Company's Series A Preferred Stock. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. II-9 The following pro forma statements of operations represent the Company's continuing operations and exclude the results of the Divested Businesses, the gain and loss recorded on the sales of subsidiaries and other one time charges that are not representative of the Company's continuing operations: Year Ended December 31, (in thousands, except per share amounts) 1998 1997 1996 -------- -------- -------- Revenue $ 28,202 $ 24,486 $ 19,706 Cost of sales 14,618 13,609 11,797 -------- -------- -------- Gross profit 13,584 10,877 7,909 Gross profit as % of sales 48% 44% 40% Selling, general and administrative 15,579 16,700 17,921 Product development 3,788 3,856 4,152 Other income (expense) (56) (312) 287 -------- -------- -------- Operating loss (5,839) (9,991) (13,877) Accrued dividends (1,348) (1,435) (3,730) Imputed Accrued dividends -- (1,536) -- -------- -------- -------- Net loss applicable to common shares $ (7,187) $(12,962) $(17,607) ======== ======== ======== Net loss per common share $ (0.93) $ (2.06) $ (3.41) ======== ======== ======== Net loss per common share - assuming dilution $ (0.93) $ (2.06) $ (3.41) ======== ======== ======== Weighted average shares 7,768 6,301 5,170 ======== ======== ======== Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 1998, the Company had $1.6 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $3.8 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1997. Net working capital decreased to $2.5 million at December 31, 1998 from $10.0 million at December 31, 1997. II-10 At December 31, 1998, the Company had outstanding debt of $385,000, $342,000 of which is due within one year. This compares with debt of $3.6 million at December 31, 1996, $2.5 million of which was due within one year. The decrease in debt of $3.2 million primarily arose from the conversion of the Company's line of credit with a stockholder into equity and the repayment of the Company's 8% Convertible Notes during 1998. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For 1998, the $2.2 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents resulted from a $4.5 million use of cash from operating activities, $5.0 million provided by investing activities and $2.7 million used in financing activities. The $4.5 million use of cash in operating activities arose primarily from the $7.3 million loss from operations offset by $2.3 million in depreciation and amortization charges. The $5.0 million provided by investing activities arose from the proceeds of business divestitures, offset by capitalized software development costs and the purchase of fixed assets. The $2.7 million in cash used in financing activities arose primarily from the $4.3 million proceeds from the issuance of Common Stock and the $9.7 million proceeds from the issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock, offset by payments of $13.6 million to redeem portions of the Company's Preferred Stock, $1.7 million to redeem a portion of the Company's convertible debentures, Preferred Stock dividends of $700,000 and net payments in capital leases of $700,000. For 1997, the $3.8 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents resulted from a $6.7 million use of cash from operating activities, $2.3 million used in investing activities and the generation of $5.3 million from financing activities. The $6.7 million use of cash in operating activities arose primarily from the $11.3 million loss from operations offset by $4.5 million in depreciation and amortization charges. The $2.3 million to fund investing activities arose with respect to capitalized software development costs and the purchase of fixed assets. The $5.3 million in cash provided by financing activities arose primarily from the $5.1 million proceeds from the issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock and proceeds of $6.9 million from borrowings, offset by payments of $3.5 million to repurchase a portion of the Company's Series F Preferred Stock, Preferred Stock dividends of $1.8 million and net payments in debt and capital leases of $1.5 million. For 1996, the $1.8 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents resulted from a $11.8 million use of cash from operating activities, $2.6 million used in investing activities and the generation of $12.7 million from financing activities. The $11.8 million use of cash in operating activities arose primarily from the $17.3 million loss from operations offset by $5.8 million in depreciation and amortization charges. The $2.6 million to fund investing activities primarily arose due to capitalized software development costs and the purchase of fixed assets. The $12.7 million in cash provided by financing activities arose primarily from the $6.0 million proceeds from the issuance of Common Stock and $10.9 million proceeds from the issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock offset by the $3.2 million payment of Series A Preferred Stock dividends and net payments in debt and capital leases of $1.2 million. II-11 As a result of stock offerings in 1998, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $14.0 million before offering costs of approximately $1.0 million. Under the offerings, the Company issued 1,334,625 shares of Common Stock and 1,560,576 shares of Preferred Stock. The net proceeds of the offerings were used to redeem the Company's Preferred Stock and for working capital purposes. As a result of stock offerings in 1997, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $9.3 million before offering costs of approximately $1.4 million. Under the offerings, the Company issued 43,723 shares of Common Stock and 10,550 shares of Preferred Stock. The net proceeds of the offerings were used for working capital purposes. At December 31, 1998, the annual dividend requirements on the Company's Series A Preferred Stock is $0.84 per share annually, payable quarterly, in cash or common stock at the Company's discretion. Dividends on the Company's Series M and M1 Preferred Stocks are payable in cash or common stock, at the Company's election. During February 1999, the Company secured a $5 million revolving line of credit from a commercial bank. The Company can draw up to $5 million on the line of credit for working capital needs based on 80% of its eligible receivables. The line of credit bears interest at a rate of prime plus 2%. The agreement shall remain in effect until February 28, 2000, and automatically renews for successive additional terms of one year each. The line of credit is collateralized by all of the Company's accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, general intangibles, and other personal property assets. The adverse results of operations which the Company has experienced have been declining and the Company's operating results were profitable during the last quarter of 1998. Although the Company expects the trend of improved operating results to continue, there can be no assurances that the Company will not experience adverse results of operations in the future. The Company believes that its existing cash, cash flows from operations and availability under its line of credit should provide sufficient resources to fund its activities through the next twelve months and to maintain net tangible assets of at least $4.0 million, which is required for continued inclusion of the Company's securities on the Nasdaq National Market. Anticipated cash flows from operations are largely dependent upon the Company's ability to achieve its sales and gross profit objectives for its TREEV Suite of products. If the Company is unable to meet these objectives, it will consider alternative sources of liquidity, such as additional offerings of equity securities and/or further reductions of operating expenses (such as travel, marketing, consulting and salaries). II-12 Nasdaq announced new listing requirements on February 23, 1998 for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq National Market. Specifically, Nasdaq requires, effective February 23, 1998, that common and preferred stock trading on its National Market continuously have a minimum bid price of $1.00. At times in 1997 and 1998, the Company's Common Stock had a minimum bid price below $1.00 before the one-for-four reverse stock split in December 1998. The Company's Preferred Stock has consistently traded with a minimum bid price of over $1.00. Although the Company's Common Stock is currently trading with a minimum bid price above $1.00, there can be no assurance that the Company's Common Stock will continue to trade with such a minimum bid price. In the event that the Company's Common Stock has a minimum bid price below $1.00, the Company believes it can propose and effect a plan to achieve compliance; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to stay in compliance with the Nasdaq requirement. While the Company believes that it can continue to meet the requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market, any ability to trade on a national exchange could adversely impact the value of the Company's stock.

Our audits also include the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management.

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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of TREEV, Inc. at December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

F-6 TREEV, Inc. Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 TREEV, Inc. ("TREEV" or the "Company") is a developer and marketer of document management software. Its flagship product line, the TREEV suite of software products, allows organizations to electronically capture, manage, store, and distribute large volumes of information. This information includes computer reports, engineering drawings, scanned images, office documents, photos, voice files and video clips. The adverse results of operations that the Company has experienced have been declining, and the Company's operating results were profitable during the last quarter of 1998. Although the Company expects the trend of improved operating results to continue, there can be no assurances that the Company will not experience adverse results of operations in the future. The Company believes that its existing cash, anticipated cash flows from 1999 operations, and cash availability under its line of credit should provide sufficient resources to fund its activities in 1999. Anticipated cash flows from 1999 operations are largely dependent upon the Company's ability to achieve its sales and gross profit objectives for its TREEV suite of products. Achievement of these objectives is subject to various risk factors related to, among other things: the need to use a two-step distribution channel involving system integrators; the long lead times in the sales cycle; the large dollar size of the average unit sale requiring high level customer authorizations; the large number of established and potential competitors in the marketplace; the fast pace of technology evolution related to the product suite; the newness of the Company's sales and marketing staff; and the evolving nature of the Company's sales and marketing strategies. The Company nevertheless believes that its sales and gross profit objectives are achievable in light of its recent divestitures of non-core business units, the successful installation of TREEV and enterprise report management products in several major contracts during 1998, the repositioning of its product lines, additions to the executive sales management, and the refocusing of sales and marketing resources. If the Company is unable to meet these objectives, it will consider alternative sources of liquidity, such as public or private offerings of equity securities; the curtailment of certain capital expenditures and discretionary expenditures (such as travel, marketing, consulting and salaries); and other various courses of action. F-7 TREEV, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of consolidation -- The consolidated financial statements for fiscal years 1997 and 1996 include the accounts of TREEV, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Cash equivalents and short-term investments -- The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Revenue recognition -- Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition" (SOP 97-2), was issued in October 1997 and was amended by Statement of Position 98-4 (SOP 98-4). The Company adopted SOP 97-2 in 1998. The Company's revenue recognition policies and practices for software license fees are consistent with SOP 97-2 and SOP 98-4. Additionally, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued SOP 98-9, which amends SOP 97-2 and is effective for transactions entered into beginning January 1, 2000. This pronouncement is not expected to materially impact the Company's revenue recognition practices. The Company generates revenue through software license fees, hardware sales, and professional services. Revenues from software license fees are recognized upon shipment when collection is probable in accordance with the related contract. Revenue from hardware and software contracts with significant completion services involving technically difficult issues for the attainment of customer acceptance is recognized upon customer acceptance. Revenue from maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the terms of the contract. For labor intensive contracts which require significant production or customization, the Company accounts for such revenue in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 81-1, "Accounting for Performance of Construction-type and Certain Production-type Contracts," using the percentage of completion method. Losses, if any, are recognized in the period that such losses are determined. Inventories -- Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out method, or market. F-8 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Fixed assets -- Fixed assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using straight-line and accelerated methods over the life of the related asset, generally three years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the improvements or the terms of the related lease. Software development costs and purchased technology -- The Company capitalizes certain software development and enhancement costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed," ("SFAS 86"). The Company capitalizes certain acquired software licenses (see Note 4) which are incorporated into the Company's products. Amortization of software development and license costs is provided on an individual product basis over the estimated useful life of the products, which is principally three years, beginning when the related products are available for general release. Costs for research and development incurred prior to establishing technological feasibility of software products, or after their commercial release, are expensed in the period incurred. The Company periodically assesses capitalized software amounts and, when less than anticipated net realizable value, charges any such excess to expense. Goodwill -- The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets of businesses acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over seven years. Amortization expense in 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $166,000, $743,000 and $1.1 million, respectively. Accumulated amortization as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 was $837,000 and $671,000, respectively. The Company routinely evaluates recoverability of goodwill by comparing future undiscounted cash flows to the recorded carrying value to determine if a write-down is required. If a write-down were required, the Company would prepare a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the amount of the write-down. Concentration of Credit Risk -- Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consists primarily of its cash equivalents, trade accounts and notes receivable. The Company periodically performs credit evaluations of customer's financial condition and generally requires no collateral. F-9 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Fair Value of Financial Instruments -- The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and debt, approximate fair value. Product warranty -- Warranties for hardware sold by the Company are generally provided by the manufacturer. The Company provides warranties and service contracts for certain products and accrues related expenses based on actual claims history. Income taxes -- The Company's income taxes are presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109") which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under SFAS 109, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Foreign currency translation -- The functional currency of the Company's foreign operation was the applicable local currency. Consequently, for the operation outside the United States, assets and liabilities were translated into United States dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses using the average exchange rate during the period. The gains and losses resulting from such translations are included as a component of stockholders' equity. Since the Company's French subsidiary operated only within France, exposure to foreign exchange risk was limited (See Note 5). Net loss per common share -- In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128") which replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been presented to conform to the SFAS 128 requirements (See Note 12). F-10 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Stock Based Compensation -- Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), which allows companies which have stock-based compensation arrangements with employees to adopt a new fair-value basis of accounting for stock options and other equity instruments, or to continue to apply the existing accounting rules under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") but with additional disclosure. The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 and accordingly the disclosure had no effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations (See Note 8). Comprehensive Income -- The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), which establishes standards for reporting the components of comprehensive income and requires that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be included in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income includes net income as well as certain items that are reported directly within a separate component of stockholders' equity and bypass net income. Segment Reporting -- The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"), in fiscal year 1998 (See Note 13). SFAS 131 changes the way companies report segment information and requires segments to be determined based on how management measures performance and makes decisions about allocating resources. Use of estimates-- 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Series A Preferred Stock - The issuance of up to 1,750,000 shares of the Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Stock") has been authorized and 1,605,025 shares are outstanding. A majority of the outstanding shares of the Series A Stock and the Common Stock voted to approve amendments to the terms of the Series A Stock ("the Amendments"), which became effective December 31, 1997. As of the date of the effectiveness of the Amendments, the stockholders of the Series A Stock are entitled to receive an annual dividend of $0.84 per share, payable quarterly in cash or Common Stock, at the Company's option, and convert to Common Stock at a rate of 1.92 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series A Stock. The date the Company releases its earnings or the applicable quarter shall also be the record date for the dividend payment. If the dividend is paid in Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock distributed as a dividend will be based on the average closing price per share of Common Stock during the 10 day period following the Company's release of earnings for the applicable quarter. Dividend payments will be made 20 days after the release of earnings.

Stock option and stock purchase plans -- The Company applies APB 25 in accounting for its stock option plans ("the Plans"), and accordingly, recognizes compensation expense for any difference between the fair value of the underlying common stock and the grant price of the option at the date of grant. Certain options qualify as incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code. The Board of Directors determines the vesting and terms of any options granted under the plans with the requirement that the term of an incentive stock option shall not exceed ten years. To date, options granted range from five- to ten-year terms. The exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to an incentive stock option is not less than the fair market value at the time of grant. The Company has also issued non-qualified plan options. An aggregate of 10.5 million shares has been authorized for issuance under the Company's stock option plans. During 1998, the Company established an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("the Plan"). Employees can choose to have up to 10% of their annual earnings withheld to purchase the Company's Common Stock. Under the terms of the Plan, there are two six-month offering periods beginning on January 1st and July 1st of each year during which employees can participate. The purchase price is determined by taking 85% of the lower of (a) the average of the high and low market prices on the offering commencement date and (b) the average of the high and low market prices on the offering termination date. The terms of the Plan require that the purchaser hold the shares purchased under the Plan for a minimum of six months from the date that the offering period ends. Under the Plan, the Company sold 30,607 shares of Common Stock to employees during 1998. F-19 NOTE 8 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (continued) Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock option and stock purchase plans under the fair value method. The fair value of options granted during 1998, 1997 and 1996 are estimated at $1.05, $3.16, and $8.88, per share respectively, on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 1998, 1997 and 1996 respectively: average risk-free interest rates of 4.7%, 5.4%, and 6.7%; dividend yields of 0.0%; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company's common stock is 0.74 for 1998, 0.58 for 1997 and 0.63 for 1996; and a weighted-average expected life of the option of 5 years. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. As the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro forma loss is $11.2 million, $16.2 million, and $23.1 million for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively and pro forma net loss applicable to common shares is $1.44, $2.56, and $4.48 for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The effect of applying SFAS 123 on the 1998, 1997 and 1996 pro forma net losses is not necessarily representative of the effects on reported net loss and net loss per share for future years due to, among other things, 1) the vesting period of the stock options and the 2) fair value of additional stock options in future years. The following table summarizes the activity in stock options issued by the Company: Weighted Average Options Exercise Price ---------- ---------------- Balance, January 1, 1996 1,625,081 $ 16.48 Granted 363,500 7.52 Exercised (22,217) 4.92 Forfeited (212,905) 16.32 ---------- Balance, December 31, 1996 1,753,459 16.88 Granted 670,088 7.60 Exercised -- Forfeited (759,009) 16.60 ---------- Balance, December 31, 1997 1,664,538 7.68 Granted 2,130,455 2.08 Exercised -- Forfeited (2,147,005) 6.37 ---------- Balance, December 31, 1998 1,647,988 $ 2.16 ========== F-20 NOTE 8 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (continued) In December 1998, the Board of Directors approved a plan to reprice the Company's outstanding stock options. The plan allowed holders of out-of-the-money options, excluding executives, officers and directors, to receive a new exercise price of $1.63 per option share, the market price on the date of the approved plan. The plan allowed executives, officers and directors holding out-of-the-money options to also receive a new exercise price of $1.63 but for fewer shares of Common Stock determined pursuant to the Black-Scholes formula intended to result in approximate economic equivalence between the old and the new options. As a result of this repricing, options for an aggregate of 797,072 out of a total of 1,876,159 shares of Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $2.52 to $27.28 per share were surrendered. In August 1997, the Board of Directors approved a plan to reprice the Company's outstanding stock options. The plan allowed holders of out-of-the-money options, excluding executives, officers, and directors, to receive a new exercise price of $6.00 per option share, the market price on the date of the approved plan. The plan allowed executives and officers holding out-of-the-money options to also receive a new exercise price of $6.00 but for fewer shares of Common Stock determined pursuant to the Black-Scholes formula intended to result in approximate economic equivalence between the old and the new options. As a result of this repricing, options for an aggregate of 140,438 out of a total of 408,750 shares of Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $7.64 to $27.28 per share were surrendered. Stock options held by the Company's Board of Directors were not repriced. In July 1997, the Company adopted the 1997 Director Stock Option Plan ("the Director Plan") for the Company's Directors and discontinued cash payments to the Board Members for their service. The Director Plan provides stock option grants in the amount of 7,500 shares at each annual board meeting for those directors who are not executive officers of the Company and are not serving on the Board as a representative of an institutional investor. Persons appointed to the Board at any time after the annual grant receive pro-rata shares of the option grant. Options vest 25% each quarter and become fully vested on the first anniversary of their grant. The Company has reserved 360,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance in connection with the Director Plan. During 1998, the Company amended the Director Plan to provide stock option grants in the amount of 1,875 shares per each calendar quarter. Options become fully vested ninety days following the date of grant.

NOTE 9 - REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK In December 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with the holder of the Series F Preferred Stock to redeem the shares for an aggregate of $9.9 million or $5.50 per share. During the first quarter of 1997, the Company redeemed $3.5 million of the Series F Preferred Stock. The Company used proceeds from its Line of Credit to finance the Series F Preferred share buy back. During the second quarter of 1997, the Company amended the December 1996 redemption agreement and as a result, the remaining $6.4 million, excluding interest, was due upon the sale of the Company's Dorotech subsidiary. During the fourth quarter 1997, the Company sold its Dorotech subsidiary and in January 1998, the Company redeemed the remaining shares of Series F Preferred Stock, including outstanding interest, for $6.5 million. NOTE 10 - RESTRUCTURING CHARGES During the second quarter of 1998, the Company incurred a charge of $1.5 million as a result of effecting a restructuring plan ("the Plan"). The Plan provided for the elimination of duplicate job functions and outdated or discontinued products. Under the Plan, the Company combined its three separate customer support organizations into one support organization, and the Company's strategic focus shifted its newest suite of integrated document management software to using Microsoft based architecture. The restructuring charge included a $827,000 write down to net realizable value of prepaid licenses and capitalized software which related to products abandoned in favor of the new integrated document management software suite. In addition, $677,000 of the restructuring charge related to severance costs for 29 employees located throughout the United States, including customer support, sales, marketing, engineering and administrative personnel. The Plan is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 1999. At December 31, 1998, 27 employees had been terminated, severance benefits of $655,000 had been paid out and the accrual balance relating to the Plan was $22,000.

After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has determined that a $47,177,000 and $43,603,000 valuation allowance at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. F-23 NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES (continued) Income tax expense (benefit) differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the applicable U.S. statutory federal income tax rate to the loss before income taxes as a result of the following differences: Year ended December 31, ------------------------------ 1998 1997 1996 ------ ------ ------ Statutory U.S. tax rate benefit 34.0% 34.0% 34.0% State income taxes, net 4.5 3.6 4.0 Operating losses and tax credits with no current tax benefit (38.5) (37.6) (37.5) Other -- -- (0.1) ------ ------ ------ --% --% 0.4% ====== ====== ====== As of December 31, 1998, the Company had available net operating and capital loss carry forwards of approximately $119 million which expire in years through 2018 and are limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the utilization of the net operating loss and capital loss carry forwards will be limited in future years due to the changes in ownership. In addition, the Company has research tax credit carry forwards of $1.2 million. The Company sold its foreign subsidiary, Dorotech, during 1997. Due to a difference between book and tax basis, the Company realized a capital loss of approximately $25 million. In addition, due to the sale of Dorotech, the Company has recognized a deferred tax benefit of approximately $46,000, which is reflected in the gain on the sale of Dorotech. F-24 NOTE 12 - LOSS PER SHARE The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share: 1998 1997 1996 ----------- ----------- ----------- Numerator (in thousands): Net Loss $ (7,344) $ (11,339) $ (17,341) Preferred stock preferences - Accrued dividends (1,348) (1,435) (3,730) - Imputed dividends -- (1,536) -- ----------- ----------- ----------- Numerator of basic loss per share - Net loss applicable to common shares (8,692) (14,310) (21,071) Effect of dilutive securities -- -- -- ----------- ----------- ----------- Numerator for diluted loss per share- Net loss applicable to common shares after assumed conversions $ (8,692) $ (14,310) $ (21,071) Denominator: Denominator for basic loss per share - weighted average shares 7,768,329 6,301,464 5,170,424 Effect of dilutive securities -- -- -- ----------- ----------- ----------- Denominator for diluted loss per share - adjusted weighed average shares and assumed conversions 7,768,329 6,301,464 5,170,424 =========== =========== =========== Basic loss per share $ (1.12) $ (2.27) $ (4.08) =========== =========== =========== Diluted loss per share $ (1.12) $ (2.27) $ (4.08) =========== =========== =========== Since the Company has incurred losses in 1998, 1997 and 1996, securities that could potentially dilute the basic earnings per share in the future were not included in the dilution computation because they would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented. The potentially dilutive convertible securities include the Company's Series A, Series M and Series M1 Convertible Preferred Stock, which were convertible into 3,081,648 shares, 1,085,699 shares and 337,306 shares of common stock, respectively, at December 31, 1998. Also outstanding at December 31, 1998 were options and warrants, which were convertible into 1,647,988 and 1,344,447 shares of common stock, respectively. For additional disclosures regarding outstanding preferred stock, employee stock options and warrants, see Note 8. F-25 NOTE 13 - BUSINESS SEGMENTS In June 1997, SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," was issued effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1998. The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that sell its products and services to a wide variety of customers throughout the United States. They are managed separately because each business requires different technology, marketing and management strategies. The Company's two reportable segments are its products and services groups. The products segment includes sales of software licenses of the Company's TREEV Suite of document management software and computer equipment. The services segment includes sales of software maintenance contracts, installation, training and customization. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based on operating earnings of the respective business units before income taxes and interest income and expenses. The following table sets forth summarized financial information concerning the Company's reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 (in thousands). The "Corporate" column includes corporate related items and expenses not allocated to reportable segments, such as sale of subsidiaries, exchange fee and gain, and restructuring costs.

Management believes that the outcome of such matters will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or its result of operations. NOTE 16 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During 1997, the Company renegotiated the termination of three consulting agreements, with individuals who were current or former members of the Board of Directors and officers of the Company, whereby all three would expire during 1998. The Company recognized total compensation expense of approximately $211,000, $553,000 and $715,000 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, related to these agreements.

The Company paid $42,000 and $295,000 relating to interest on the line of credit in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company holds two notes receivable totaling $525,000 from two former stockholders of a subsidiary acquired in 1994 due and payable in December 1999. Interest accrues at 6.55% per annum (See Note 2). NOTE 17 - EMPLOYEE PROFIT SHARING PLANS AND 401K PLAN The Company sponsors a 401(K) plan that covers all full-time employees. Participants in the plan may make contributions of up to 15% of pre-tax annual compensation. The Company may make discretionary matching contributions at the option of the Board of Directors. The Company has made no contributions. The Company had a mandatory and a voluntary profit sharing plan covering substantially all employees in France.

The Company can draw up to $5 million on the line of credit for working capital needs based on 80% of its eligible receivables. The line of credit bears interest at a rate of prime plus 2%. The agreement shall remain in effect until February 28, 2000, and automatically renews for successive additional terms of one year each.

EX-3.1.1 2 CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF TREEV, INC. TREEV, a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Corporation"), DOES HEREBY CERTIFY: FIRST: That the Board of Directors of the Corporation, adopted a resolution and declared advisable the following amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation: RESOLVED, that the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation be amended by adding to Article Fourth of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation the following provision: Simultaneously with the effective date of this amendment (the "Effective Date"), each four shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date (the "Old Common Stock") shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be reclassified as and changed, pursuant to a reverse stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split"), into one share of the Company's outstanding Common Stock (the "New Common Stock"), subject to the treatment of fractional share interests as described below. Each holder of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Date represented outstanding shares of Old Common Stock (the "Old Certificates," whether one or more) shall be entitled to receive upon surrender of such Old Certificates to the Company's Transfer Agent for cancellation, a certificate or certificates (the "New Certificates," whether one or more) representing the number of whole shares of the New Common Stock into and for which the shares of the Old Common Stock formerly represented by such Old Certificates so surrendered, are reclassified under the terms hereof. From and after the Effective Date, Old Certificates shall thereupon be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of New Common Stock in the appropriately reduced whole number of shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional share interests in New Common Stock will be issued, and no such fractional share interest will entitle the holder thereof to vote, or to any rights of a stockholder of the Company. Any fraction of a share of New Common Stock to which the holder would otherwise be entitled will be adjusted downward to the nearest whole share and the holder will receive cash in lieu of such fractional share. If more than one Old Certificate shall be surrendered at one time for the account of the same stockholder, the number of full shares of New Common Stock for which New Certificates shall be issued shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares represented by the Old Certificates so surrendered. In the event that the Company's Transfer Agent determines that a holder of Old Certificates has not surrendered all his certificates for exchange, the Transfer Agent shall carry forward any fractional share until all certificates of that holder have been presented for exchange such that payment for fractional shares to any one person shall not exceed the value of one share. If any new Certificate is to be issued in a name other than that in which it was issued, the Old Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and 1 otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the stock transfer tax stamps to the Old Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the person or persons requesting such exchange shall affix any requisite stock transfer tax stamps to the Old Certificates surrendered, or provide funds for their purchase, or establish to the satisfaction of the Transfer Agent that such taxes are not payable. From and after the Effective Date, the amount of capital shall be represented by the shares of the New Common Stock into which and for which the shares of the Old Common Stock are reclassified, until thereafter reduced or increased in accordance with applicable law. All references elsewhere in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation to the "Common Stock" shall, after the Effective Date, refer to the New Common Stock. FURTHER RESOLVED, that at any time prior to the filing of the foregoing amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation effecting the Reverse Stock Split, notwithstanding authorization of the proposed amendment by the stockholders of the Company, the Board may abandon such proposed amendment without further action by the stockholders. SECOND: That the stockholders of the Corporation approved said amendment by majority vote at a special meeting of the stockholders in accordance with the provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. THIRD: That the aforesaid amendment was duly adopted in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
