| VIADOR VS. PLUMTREE 
 Playing around over the weekend, I did a rough comparison of Viador vs. a
 successful offering of Plumtree ("PLUM").  I thought some of you might find
 it to be informative.
 
 This is based on a successful offering of PLUM using the Nov. 22, 2000 SEC
 filing.  I didn't delve into all the options, etc. -- but did use the
 options/warrants outstanding listed on the PLUM cover of the S-1A -- so it's
 rough, but gives some interesting comparisons.  I will let the readers of this
 thread comment.
 
 Current cash positions Viador $22.5 Million and PLUM $15.6 Million
 
 Assumption: Plumtree was priced at $14 per share [middle of expected range].
