Business Description

The Company designs, develops and markets software solutions for
real-time data integration, resiliency and data monitoring. The Company's
comprehensive family of products allows companies to capture, transform and
flow data in real-time across multi-platform computing environments. The
Company's software products provide business data integration, giving its
customers the ability to keep corporate data integrated, distributed and
available within enterprises and across the Internet. The Company's resiliency
solutions provide disaster recovery and avoidance ensuring highly available
24/7 business operations under any circumstances. The Company's data monitoring
solution allows companies to monitor, track and report on critical information
stored in their databases to ensure the security of their data assets at all
times. The Company's products are suited to such business applications as
building and replenishing data warehouses, data distribution and workload
balancing, e-commerce and the integration of e-business applications with
operational and legacy systems, enterprise application integration ("EAI"),
monitoring and reporting on the integrity and security of data assets, mobile
and remote data capture for ERP systems, high availability and back-up and
recovery applications. The Company's PointBase solutions provide relational
database products and synchronization solutions designed to help lead the
industry's move toward software that delivers on the promise of Java.

Since the introduction of the Company's Transformation Server
software in October 1994 as an IBM iSeries (AS/400) data replication product,
the Company has commercially released several new versions and extensions of
Transformation Server, extending its functionality to become a cross-platform
transformational integration solution. Transformation Server now offers
bi-directional data capture, transformation and flow to and from a variety of
mid-range servers, mainframe processors and software databases including:
DB2/UDB running on IBM iSeries (AS/400), UNIX (HP, AIX, SUN) and OS/390; Oracle
databases running on UNIX (HP, AIX, SUN), Linux and Windows NT/2000 platforms;
Sybase databases running on UNIX and Linux platforms; Microsoft SQL Server
databases; XML data sources; PointBase Java databases, and flat files.

The Company's major resiliency product, High Availability Suite for
IBM iSeries (AS/400) (also known as HA Suite), was first released in November
1998. HA Suite is an iSeries (AS/400) high availability solution that captures
objects and database transactions from primary systems, mirrors them to one or
more recovery systems, and invokes operational switching as required. HA Suite
was complemented and enhanced in mid 1999 with the introduction of DataMirror
iCluster software, an iSeries (AS/400) cluster management solution that
includes a GUI to define nodes in a cluster, determine what data and objects
are mirrored to specific nodes and monitor the entire cluster from a single
station.

The Company's major EAI product, DataMirror Constellar Hub, is an EAI
solution which enables data movement, transformation and integration between a
wide variety of mixed system environments. It supports over 40 data types
including real-time, batch and message-oriented systems.

The Company has also developed additional software products including
iDeliver, a data integration product that delivers data from Transformation
Server sources to Windows desktop data stores, Enterprise Administrator, an
enhanced Java based graphical user interface ("GUI") for administration of the
Transformation Server family of products.

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, DataMirror Mobile
Solutions Inc. ("PointBase"), offers a series of Java relational database,
mobility and synchronization products. PointBase has three main offerings --
PointBase Embedded, PointBase Micro and PointBase UniSync. These provide
effective Java-based data storage, enterprise mobility and data synchronization
with corporate databases.

During the past three years the Company introduced the following
