            NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

    The  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of
Advent  Software,   Inc.  (Advent)  and  its  wholly  owned  subsidiaries.   All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

    The  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  have been  prepared  in
accordance  with the  rules  and  regulations  of the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  (SEC)   applicable  to  interim   financial   information.   Certain
information and footnote  disclosures  included in financial statements prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted in
these interim statements pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations.  Management
recommends that these interim  financial  statements be read in conjunction with
the audited  financial  statements  and notes thereto  included in Advent's 1996
Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

    In management's  opinion,  the condensed  consolidated  financial statements
include all adjustments  necessary to present fairly the financial  position and
results of operations for each interim period shown.

2.    Recent Accounting Pronouncements

    During  February  1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issues
Statement  No.  128,  "Earnings  Per  Share",  (SFAS  128) which  specifies  the
computation,  presentation and disclosure requirements for net income per share.
SFAS 128 will become  effective  for  Advent's  1997  fiscal year end.  Advent's
management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 128 to have a material impact on
Advent's financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
     of Operations

ACQUISITIONS

     In February,  1996,  Advent acquired Data Exchange,  Inc. (the DX Group), a
private company based in New York, for $4.0 million in cash and an $800,000 note
payable. This note payable was paid during the third quarter of 1996 and did not
bear interest. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase.  Advent incurred
a one-time charge of $5.6 million in connection with the write-off of in-process
research and  development.  This expense was recorded in purchased  research and
development  and other  expenses.  As a result of this expense,  there was a net
loss per  share of  ($0.74)  for the  first  quarter  of  1996.  Excluding  this
write-off net income per share would have been $0.07.

    In November  1996,  Advent issued 35,000 shares of Advent's  common stock in
exchange for all of the  outstanding  shares of Bold  Software,  Inc., a private
software  development  company based in New York. This business  combination was
accounted  for as a pooling  of  interests.  Prior  year  amounts  have not been
restated to include Bold  Software's  results of operations  as such  operations
were immaterial.  As a result of this business  combination,  Advent  introduced
Advent  Partner,  a tax  layering  and  partnership  allocation  solution  which
integrates with Axys.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    NET REVENUES.  Advent's net revenues for the first quarter of 1997 increased
37% to $9.6 million, as compared with net revenues of $7.0 million for the first
quarter of 1996, reflecting increases in each component of net revenues. License
revenue for the first quarter of 1997  increased 55% to $4.0 million as compared
with  license  revenue  of $2.6  million  for the  first  quarter  of 1996,  due
primarily to higher revenues derived from licensing of Qube, Moxy and Geneva. In
addition,  Advent Partner contributed license revenues in first quarter of 1997.
As discussed above, Advent Partner was introduced as a result of the acquisition
of Bold  Software  and,  therefore,  there was no  comparable  revenue  in first
quarter of 1996.  Maintenance and other recurring  revenue for the first quarter
of 1997 increased 31% to $4.2 million,  as compared with  maintenance  and other
recurring  revenue of $3.2 million for the first quarter of 1996,  due primarily
to a larger customer base and higher average  maintenance  fees.  Higher average
maintenance  fees are due to increased  complexity of the  maintenance  services
provided and increased  client  utilization of proprietary  interfaces to access
pricing and other data supplied by third parties  through  Advent's  proprietary
interfaces.  Professional  services and other  revenue for the first  quarter of
1997 increased 14% to $1.4 million,  as compared with professional  services and
other  revenue of $1.2 million for the first  quarter of 1996,  due primarily to
higher product sales activity.

    COST OF REVENUES.  Advent's  cost of revenues for the first  quarter of 1997
increased 44% to $1.9 million, as compared with cost of revenues of $1.3 million
for the first quarter of 1996.  Cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues
was relatively  stable at 20% for the first quarter of 1997 as compared with 19%
in the first quarter of 1996.

    SALES AND  MARKETING.  Advent's  sales and marketing  expenses for the first
quarter  of 1997  increased  23% to $3.3  million,  as  compared  with sales and
marketing  expenses  of $2.7  million for the first  quarter of 1996.  Sales and
marketing expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 34% in the first
quarter of 1997 from 38% in the first quarter of 1996.  The increase in expenses
was due primarily to an increase in sales and marketing personnel.  The decrease
in  sales  and  marketing  expenses  as a  percentage  of net  revenues  was due
primarily to the ability of Advent's sales and marketing organization to support
an   increased   revenue   base  that  was  in  part  due  to  an   increase  in
multiple-product  license sales  represented  in that revenue base. In addition,
the  decrease  was also due to an increase in  maintenance  and other  recurring
revenues which did not have significant associated sales and marketing expenses.

    PRODUCT  DEVELOPMENT.  Advent's product  development  expenses for the first
quarter  of 1997  increased  51% to  $2.1  million,  as  compared  with  product
development  expenses  of $1.4  million for the first  quarter of 1996.  Product
development  expenses as a percentage  of net  revenues  increased to 22% in the
first  quarter of 1997 from 20% in the first  quarter of 1996.  These  increases
were  primarily  due to an

                                       7
<PAGE>


increase in  personnel  as Advent has  increased  its product development 
efforts to accelerate the rate of new product introductions.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Advent's general and administrative expenses for
the first quarter of 1997 increased 9% to $1.1 million, as compared with general
and  administrative  expenses  of $1.0  million  for the first  quarter of 1996.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to
11% for the first  quarter of 1997 as compared  with 14% in the first quarter of
1996. The relatively small increase in general and  administrative  expenses and
the  decrease in these  expenses as a  percentage  of net  revenues  reflect the
ability of Advent's  administrative support organization to support an increased
revenue base.

    PURCHASED  RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER. On February 15, 1996,  Advent
acquired  Data  Exchange,  Inc. (the DX Group),  a private  company based in New
York,  for $4.0  million  in cash and an  $800,000  note  payable.  In the first
quarter of 1996, Advent incurred a one-time charge of $5.6 million in connection
with the write-off of in-process research and development due to the acquisition
of the DX Group. There was no comparable charge in the first quarter of 1997.

    INTEREST INCOME, NET. Advent's interest income, net for the first quarter of
1997  decreased  19% to  $265,000,  as compared  with  interest  income,  net of
$326,000 for the first quarter of 1996.  This decrease was due to a smaller cash
balance that resulted from the  acquisition of the DX Group in the first quarter
of 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Cash and short-term  investments  totaled $34.1 million at March 31, 1997 as
compared  to $31.7  million at  December  31,  1996.  The  increase  in cash and
short-term investments was primarily due cash provided by operating activities.

    Advent  believes that its existing cash and short-term  investments and cash
expected to be generated from operations will be sufficient to meet its cash and
capital requirements at least through fiscal 1997.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

    The  discussion  in  "Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial
Condition  and  Results  of  Operations"   contains  trend  analysis  and  other
forward-looking   statements  that  are  based  on  current   expectations   and
assumptions  made  by  management.  Words  such  as  "expects",   "anticipates",
"intends",  "plans",  "believes",  "seeks",  "estimates", and variations of such
words and similar  expressions  are  intended to identify  such  forward-looking
statements.  These  statements  are not  guarantees  of future  performance  and
involve  certain  risks  and  uncertainties  which  are  difficult  to  predict.
Therefore,  actual  results  could  differ  materially  from those  expressed or
forecasted  in  the  forward-looking  statements  as a  result  of  the  factors
summarized  below and other risks  detailed  from time to time in reports  filed
with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission,  including  Advent's 1996 Annual
Report to  Stockholders,  incorporated  by reference in Advent's  1996 Form 10-K
Report. Additionally, the financial statements for the periods presented are not
necessarily  indicative of results to be expected for any future period, nor for
the entire year.

     Advent operates in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of
risks,  some of which are beyond  Advent's  control.  These  risks  include  the
potential  for  period to  period  fluctuations  in  operating  results  and the
dependence on the successful  development and market  acceptance of new products
and product  enhancements  on a timely,  cost  effective  basis,  as well as the
stability  of  financial  markets,  maintenance  of Advent's  relationship  with
Interactive Data and price and product/performance  competition.  In particular,
Advent's net  revenues and  operating  results  have varied  substantially  from
period-to-period  on a quarterly  basis and may continue to  fluctuate  due to a
number of factors.  Advent's  software  products  typically are shipped  shortly
after  receipt  of  a  signed  license   agreement  and  initial   payment  and,
consequently,  software  backlog  at  the  beginning  of any  quarter  typically
represents  only a  small  portion  of  that  quarter's  expected  revenues.  In
addition,  as Advent's  licenses into  multi-user  

                                       8

<PAGE>


networked  environments  have increased both in individual size and number,
the timing and size of individual license transactions are becoming increasingly
important factors in Advent's quarterly operating results.  The sales cycles for
these transactions are often lengthy and unpredictable, and the ability to close
large license transactions on a timely basis or at all could cause additional
variability in Advent's  quarterly  operating  results.  Advent's future success
will continue to depend upon its ability to develop new products,  such as Moxy,
Qube,  and Geneva,  that address the future  needs of its target  markets and to
respond to emerging  industry  standards  and  practices.  Advent is directing a
significant  amount  of  its  product   development   efforts  on  the  on-going
development  of  Geneva.  The  failure  to  successfully   develop  and  achieve
widespread market acceptance of a fully commercial version of Geneva on a timely
basis would adversely affect Advent's business and operating results.
