You've finally heard a rumor of acquirer. Will the acquisition of Softquad Inc benefit LEAF in the area described below?

Product: Total product revenue decreased by $0.5 million (19%) in the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 as compared to the same period in fiscal 1998. Product
revenues represented 20% and 21% of total revenues in the first quarter of
fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively. Revenue declined in all geographic regions.
The continuing trend in the reduction in product revenue is due to two factors.
The first is the decline in licensing of the Company's UNIX-based high-end
authoring products which is primarily attributable to the increasing popularity
of Windows-based publishing software. The second factor is the saturation of
UNIX-based high-end authoring software in the aerospace/defense industry, where
the Company had historically derived most of its authoring product license
revenue.

The Company is refocusing its business strategy on providing a new family of
content management products targeted toward specific vertical markets. While the
Company has built well-accepted integrated document publishing based solutions
for individual customers, it has not yet demonstrated the ability to develop,
market and sell content management products. There is no assurance that the
Company will be successful in implementing its strategy and, therefore, the
Company is unable to predict if or when product revenues will stabilize or grow.
Additionally, since the Company's services and maintenance revenue is largely
dependent on new product licenses, these revenue components have also
experienced downward pressure. This trend will continue unless product revenue
stabilizes.
