NOTE 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

        Phoenix Technologies Ltd. (together with its subsidiaries, "Phoenix" or
the "Company") is a global leader in system-enabling software solutions for PCs
and connected digital devices. Its software provides compatibility,
connectivity, security and manageability of the various components and
technologies used in such devices. Phoenix provides these products primarily to
platform and peripheral manufacturers (collectively, "OEMs") that range from
large PC manufacturers to small system integrators. Phoenix also provides
training, consulting, maintenance and engineering services to its customers. It
markets and licenses its products and services primarily through a direct sales
force, as well as through regional distributors and sales representatives. The
Company has three business units (one of which, inSilicon Corporation
("inSilicon"), is a majority-owned subsidiary), each of which delivers leading
products and professional services that enable connected computing.

NOTE 2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of
December 31, 2000 and for the three months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 have
been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). All
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The consolidated balance sheet
as of September 30, 2000 was derived from audited financial statements, but does
not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000.

        In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to summarize fairly the Company's
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods
presented. The operating results for the three months period ended December 31,
2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
fiscal year ending September 30, 2001, or for any other future period.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

        Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per
share is computed using the weighted-average number of common and dilutive
common-equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive
common-equivalent shares primarily consist of employee stock options,
computed using the treasury stock method.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

        Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation.

        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

        In the first quarter of fiscal year 2001, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, (the Statements) which establish
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging
activities. The Statements require that an entity recognize all derivatives
as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure those
instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a
derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting
designation. The Company does not hold any derivative financial instrument
and does not engage in hedging activities. Accordingly, the adoption of the
Statements does not have a material impact on the Company's financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 3    PURCHASE COMBINATIONS

        In December 2000, inSilicon Corporation ("inSilicon"), a majority
owned subsidiary of the Company acquired Xentec, Inc. and HD Lab, K.K. for a
total purchase price of $12.6 million, paid in inSilicon common stock and
cash.

        The condensed consolidated financial statements include the operating
results of each business from the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of
operations have not been presented because the effects of these acquisitions
were not material on either an individual or an aggregate basis.

NOTE 4.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

        The increase in Platform Enabling revenue in the first quarter of
fiscal 2001 of 21.2% over the comparable period of fiscal 2000 was primarily
due to increased sales of system enabling software used primarily in personal
computers. inSilicon revenue, net of intercompany transactions, declined due
largely to a decrease in non-recurring engineering work for a significant
customer. PhoenixNet first generated revenues in the second quarter of fiscal
2000.

        During the three months ended December 31, 2000, North American and
Asian revenue increased while European revenue declined. This was due primarily
to the outsourcing of system design and manufacturing to Asian personal computer
and motherboard manufacturers, growth in Japanese personal computer shipments in
the Platform enabling segment and a shift in revenue from the European market to
the Asian market.

        One customer accounted for 20% of total revenue during the three-month
period ended December 31, 2000. One customer accounted for more than 11% of
revenue during the three-month period ended December 31, 1999.

GROSS MARGIN

        Gross margin as a percentage of revenue for the three-month period
ended December 31, 2000 increased to 88.7% from 82.0% in the comparable
period of fiscal 2000. Included in the costs of revenue was $0.3 million of
amortization of purchased technology arising from the acquisition of Sand
Microelectronics, Inc. for both three-month periods ended December 31, 2000
and 1999. Also included in the costs of revenue in the quarter ended December
31, 1999 was $0.6 million of non-recurring Year 2000 ("Y2K") support cost.
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue before the amortization of purchased
technology and Y2K support costs was 89.6% and 84.8% for the three months
ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase in gross margin
was due primarily to shifts in license revenue mix.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

        Research and development expenses for the three-month period ended
December 31, 2000 increased by $0.4 million over the prior year quarter, but as
a percentage of revenue fell to 28.2% from

          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

32.4%. The percentage decrease was primarily due to improvement in product and
resource management resulting in lower headcount and the relocation of research
and development centers to Asia and Japan where costs are lower.

SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES

        Sales and marketing expenses for the three-month period ended
December 31, 2000 increased by $2.8 million from the comparable period in
fiscal 2000. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expenses
increased from 21.5% in the three-month period ended December 31, 1999 to
25.2% in the current quarter. The increase in sales and marketing expense was
principally due to an increase in the size of the Company's direct sales
force and related commissions and the expansion of our distribution channels
to position the Company for growth in markets beyond the PC market.
Management has made a conscious effort to increase sales and marketing
efforts through the reallocation of resources.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

        General and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended
December 31, 2000, increased by $0.8 million from the comparable period in
fiscal 2000. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses
decreased from 14.5% to 14.2% in the three-month period ended December 31,
2000 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 1999. The slight percentage
decrease was due to efficiency improvement in infrastructure costs.

AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL AND ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS

        Amortization of goodwill and acquired intangible assets included in
operating expense was $0.6 million for both the first quarters of fiscal 2001
and 2000. Amortization of goodwill and acquired intangible asset relates
primarily to the acquisition of Sand Microelectronics, Inc. in September 1998.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

        The stock-based compensation charges in both quarters presented were
mostly due to the granting of options to purchase inSilicon stock at exercise
prices less than the fair market value of inSilicon common stock on the grant
date.

INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME, NET

        Interest and other income, net, for the three month period ended
December 31, 2000 increased 10.3% from the comparable period in fiscal 2000
primarily due to improved interest income related to higher cash balances as a
result of the proceeds inSilicon received from the initial public offering of
inSilicon stock in the second quarter of fiscal 2000, offset by foreign currency
exchange losses.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

        The Company recorded an income tax provision of $2.4 million for
three-month period ended December 31, 2000, as compared to $1.3 million in the
comparable period in fiscal 2000. The provisions for income taxes reflect
effective tax rates of 30.9% and 32.0%, respectively. The decrease in the
effective tax rate is immaterial. For federal income tax purposes, the Company
does not file a consolidated return with inSilicon as the Company owns less than
80% of the voting stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        At December 31, 2000, the Company' principal source of liquidity
consisted of cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaling $94
million. Cash and cash equivalents of $58.9 million as of December 31, 2000
included $12.4 million restricted and owned by inSilicon. The primary sources of
cash during the first three months of fiscal 2001 were $6.0 million from
operating activities, net sales of short-term investments of $17.1 million and
proceeds from issuance of stock under various stock plans of $3.6 million. The
primary uses of cash during the first three months of fiscal 2001 were $15.9
million for the repurchase of common stock, $2.9 million for the purchase of
property, equipment and computer software and $2.9 million for the acquisition
of Xentec, Inc.

        The Company believes that current cash, short-term investment balances
and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet its operating and
capital requirements on a short-term and long-term basis.
