ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DEPOSITION OF ASSETS.
(a) On July 16, 1997 Puma Technology, Inc. ("Puma"), and Real World
Solutions, Inc. ("RWS") entered into a definitive Asset Acquisition Agreement
(the "Agreement") whereby Puma acquired all assets and assumed all
liabilities of RWS on such date. RWS, a California corporation, headquartered
in Campbell, California, provides client/server software solutions which
enable wireless and Internet access to corporate information from handheld
and notebook computers. Total consideration consisted of cash payments
estimated to be approximately $1,000,000 from Puma's existing cash accounts.
The acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method and Puma
anticipates one-time charge to be incurred in its fourth fiscal quarter for
purchased research and development associated with RWS' products which have
not yet reached technological feasibility.
Before the acquisition, there was no material relationship between RWS
and the registrant or any of its affiliates, any director or officer of the
registrant, or any associate of any such director or officer.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.
(a) It is impracticable to provide the audited financial statements of
RWS for the periods required at the date of this report. The registrant
intends to file such financial statements as soon as they become available
and in any event not later than September 29, 1997, if the Commission has not
waived such requirement prior to such date.
(b) It is impracticable to provide the pro forma financial information
required pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation S-X at the date of this report.
The registrant intends to file such pro forma financial information as soon
as it becomes available and in any event not later than September 29, 1997,
if the Commission has not waived such requirement prior to such date.
