Exhibit 99.1
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Board of Directors Software Associates, Inc.
Fairfield, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Software
Associates, Inc. as at June 30, 1996 and the related statements
of operations, changes in stockholder's equity and cash flows for
the years ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. 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 enumerated above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Software Associates, Inc. as at June 30, 1996 and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended June 30,
1996 and June 30, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
The Company has sustained a net loss in the year ended
June 30, 1996 and has only minimal capital and working capital.
Also, as indicated in Note A, on November 30, 1996, the Company
was acquired by DynamicWeb Enterprises, Inc. a substantial
portion of whose resources may be depleted before it markets and
derives significant revenues from its products and services.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern. The acquiror's plan in regards
to these matters are also described in Note A. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(NOTE A) - The Company:
Software Associates, Inc. (the "Company") is a New Jersey
corporation incorporated in March 1985. The Company is an
Electronic Data Interchange ("EDI") service bureau engaged in the
business of helping companies realize the benefits of expanding
their data processing and electronic communications
infrastructures through the use of EDI. The Company also resells
hardware and licensed software which is generally customized for
its customers.
On November 30, 1996, the Company was acquired by DynamicWeb
Enterprises, Inc. ("DynamicWeb"). DynamicWeb will utilize the
Company's expertise in EDI to expand their business and product
lines over the internet. A substantial portion of DynamicWeb's
resources may be depleted before it markets and derives
significant revenues from its products and services. DynamicWeb
is planning to raise additional equity through a proposed public
offering of stock, the net proceeds of which it intends to use,
in part, to support future operations.
(NOTE B) - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
[1] Revenue recognition:
Revenues are recognized when products are shipped
provided that no significant obligations remain, and collection
of the resulting receivable is deemed probable by management.
The Company provides customer support and revenues are recognized
when services are provided. The Company also enters into
contracts with customers whereby revenues are earned based on a
transaction fee.
[2] Depreciation:
Equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is
provided using the straight-line method over five years.
[3] Income taxes:
The Company files its corporate income tax returns on a
cash basis and accounts for income taxes on an accrual basis in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109"). SFAS
No. 109 measures deferred income taxes by applying enacted
statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the
differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and
their reported amounts in the financial statements.
(NOTE B) - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(continued):
[4] 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.
[5] Fair value of financial instruments:
The Company considers its financial instruments and
obligations, which are carried at cost, to approximate fair value
due to the near term due dates.
(NOTE C) - Long-Term Debt:
Long-term debt consists of a capitalized lease obligation as
at June 30, 1996:
