Allaire Provides Outlook on Third Quarter 2000 Financial Results
NEWTON, MA - September 18, 2000 - Allaire Corporation (Nasdaq: ALLR), a leading provider of Internet software and services for companies building their businesses on the Web, today provided an outlook on its third quarter 2000 financial results. For the quarter ending Sept. 30, 2000, the company presently anticipates revenue in the range of $28.0 million to $32.0 million, compared to $33.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2000 and $15.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 1999. Allaire also expects a net loss in the range of ($0.05) to ($0.20) per share, compared to net income of $0.06 per share in the second quarter of fiscal year 2000 and a net loss of ($0.01) per share in the third quarter of fiscal year 1999.

Factors: · Allaire`s broadening of its organizational focus to provide a multi-product offering, including Allaire Spectra and JRun. During the quarter, Allaire made significant investments in building its packaged application and Java application server businesses and increasing its resources focused on the emerging Internet platform marketplace. These factors had a negative impact on the sales and marketing efforts supporting ColdFusion.

· Lower than expected channel sales. Due to the seasonality typically associated with the third quarter, Allaire anticipated that a majority of third quarter sales would close during the month of September. The latest sell-through reports from the channel indicate lower-than expected revenues for September related to core products.

· Longer than anticipated Allaire Spectra sales cycle. Based on the latest sales forecasts, a number of Allaire Spectra deals anticipated to close during the third quarter have moved into future quarters.

"We are disappointed at the anticipated results for the third quarter. As we enter the Internet platform marketplace, Allaire has transitioned a number of areas of its business to support its enhanced multi-product business model. We remain certain that this multi-product business model is the correct long-term strategy for the company," said David Orfao, president and chief executive officer of Allaire Corporation. "Through the first two months of the quarter, our sales remained on target. Due to the seasonality associated with the third quarter, we anticipated a majority of sales to close during the month of September. However, based on the recent feedback received from the channel and our direct sales force, we are now adjusting our forecasts to reflect lower than anticipated revenues."

Actions: · Implementing demand generation programs. Allaire is expanding marketing initiatives focused on lead generation for its core products, including 80 seminars in its North American seminar series and more than 20 Web-based seminars.

· Refining customer qualification and sales efforts for Allaire Spectra. Allaire has reforecasted anticipated revenues associated with Allaire Spectra based on a longer-than-anticipated sales cycles. In addition to initiatives focused on core products, Allaire will continue to invest resources to support the Allaire Spectra business and expects to see improved results from these investments.

· Planning is underway to implement significant partner recruiting and co-marketing activities.

Allaire will be hosting a conference call for financial analysts and others scheduled for today at 8:15 a.m. EDT. To participate in the call dial 719-457-2638, access code - 567214. Replay will be available by dialing 719-457-0820 access code 567214. The conference call will also be Webcast "live" on the company`s investor relations Website @ http://investor.allaire.com

Inside each portal, the site lets users view news items, insider tips and events, all of which are geared to the user`s specific interests. A members area allows users to take the interactive experience even further by creating a personalized MyAspenSnowmass page. By utilizing Allaire Spectra, MINDSEYE was able to accommodate the extensive technical requirements of creating the site and delivering the sophisticated content management, e-commerce and personalization that the site demanded.

"AspenSnowmass.com was not built to be just another ski/snowboard resort information gateway, but instead a powerful demonstration of our commitment to guest service," said Lura Padrutt Griffiths, Online Services Manager for Aspen Skiing Company. "This site is meant to deliver those specific elements of the Aspen/Snowmass experience that our online guest wishes to take in. Just as not every guest skis or rides the same slopes, not every visitor to our site wants to see the same content. By using Allaire technology and MINDSEYE, AspenSnowmass.com has become a site where our online guests can experience the events, excitement, and atmosphere of Aspen/Snowmass in a way that each guest determines for themselves."

Allaire Spectra is part of the comprehensive Allaire Business Platform. Built on Allaire`s industry leading Web application server, ColdFusion, and combined with the company`s leading visual Web development tools, Allaire Spectra provides a cost-effective and easy-to-use packaged system for content management, e-commerce and personalization.

"We chose Allaire Spectra because it approaches Web site development with a strategic vision of what the Web experience should be for both the user and the Web site developer," said James Burke, Co-Founder of MINDSEYE. "It actualizes all of the concepts, ideas, and business needs into a cohesive whole. Aspen Skiing Company envisioned a site that utilizes personalization, dynamic content editing, offline scheduling, security, and syndication. Allaire Spectra offered the best solution."

Web Development Giants Allaire and Adobe Partner to Enable Rapid Creation of Web Applications


Co-development Initiative Integrates Adobe GoLive 5.0 With Allaire ColdFusion for the Rapid Development and Deployment of Robust Applications In a Visual Environment

NEWTON, MA - August 28, 2000 - Allaire Corporation (Nasdaq: ALLR), a leading provider of Internet software and services for companies building their businesses on the Web, today announced a development partnership with Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq: ADBE), a leader in digital publishing for Web, print and dynamic media, to integrate Adobe`s Web development tools with the Allaire Internet Business Platform. The companies have already completed the first co-development project and successfully integrated Adobe`s GoLive™ 5.0 Web authoring software with Allaire ColdFusion, enabling developers to use GoLive 5.0 to create applications that run on the ColdFusion Web application server.


"Allaire is committed to providing our customers with an open technology platform that enables companies to conduct business on their own terms," said Jeremy Allaire, chief technology officer for Allaire. "By tightly integrating the Allaire Internet Business Platform with products widely used throughout the industry, we`re empowering companies with the ability to select the products and technologies that best meet their business needs. Adobe is a pioneer in Web publishing and we`re delighted to now be able to jointly offer companies a seamless package to rapidly develop Web applications in a visual environment."

Through the partnership, Allaire and Adobe have developed a ColdFusion Extension to GoLive 5.0. By attaching the ColdFusion Extension, Adobe enables Web developers not familiar with the widely popular ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML), used by over than 140,000 developers worldwide, to create CFML applications in the GoLive visual development environment. Developers can rapidly and easily create Web sites and ColdFusion applications with GoLive and the new "360Code" feature of GoLive 5.0, assures that GoLive will not reformat the CFML language and will maintain code integrity.

"Allaire`s products are among the most widely used and widely respected in the industry," said Bryan Lamkin, senior vice president, Product Marketing for Adobe. "The integration of GoLive with the ColdFusion server allows our customers to minimize time to market and maximize their Web efforts to build scalable and secure Web applications. With the ColdFusion Extension functionality, GoLive is a significantly more robust solution and we look forward to working with Allaire to integrate all our tools across their entire Internet Business Platform."

The ColdFusion Extension for GoLive 5.0 is the first offering from the multi-project co-development initiative between Allaire and Adobe. The two companies have agreed to combine efforts to integrate Adobe`s tools, such as GoLive, Adobe® Photoshop®, Adobe Illustrator® and Adobe Acrobat®, with the Allaire Internet Business Platform, which includes ColdFusion, JRun, Allaire Spectra and HomeSite. In addition, Adobe has joined the Allaire Alliance as a technology partner and Allaire has joined the Adobe Solutions Network as a technology partner.
