                                EXPLANATORY NOTE

         The undersigned  Registrant  hereby amends Item 7 of its Current Report
on Form 8-K filed on March 6, 1998.



Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Information and Exhibits

         (a) The financial  statements required by Item 7(a) of the Form 8-K are
not  included in this Report  because  they are not  currently  available to the
Registrant.  The Registrant cannot be certain that financial  statements will be
required  because the assets  purchased by the  Registrant  were not  separately
historically  reported in  divisional or sectional  financial  statements of the
seller. An audit is to be conducted to confirm the seller's internal revenue and
cost  allocations as to the specific  assets  purchased by the  Registrant.  The
seller has not made  available  to the Company  notes  relating to the  seller's
allocation of revenue and costs to the assets purchased.

             If, upon further  examination,  the Registrant  determines that the
assets purchased by the Registrant require a change in the classification of the
transaction  previously  reported as an "Item 2" event to the  classification of
the transaction as an "Item 5" event,  the Registrant will proceed to amend this
Report accordingly.

         (b) The pro forma  financial  statements that are required by Item 7(b)
of the Form 8-K are included in this Report.

         (c) Inapplicable.

             Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)


         On  February  19,  1998 the  Company  purchased  certain  tangible and
intangible assets and assumed  certain  liabilities  of  Consilium,  Inc.  (the
"Seller").  All of the assets and liabilities in the purchase transaction relate
to the Flowstream  product line. The transaction was accounted for as a business
purchase.

         The  accompanying  pro forma condensed  consolidated  balance sheet has
been  prepared as if the  purchase  was  consummated  on October 31,  1997.  The
accompanying  pro forma condensed  consolidated  statement of operations for the
year ended October 31, 1997 has been prepared as if the purchase was consummated
at the beginning of fiscal 1997. The pro forma condensed  consolidated statement
of operations does not include the effect of any  nonrecurring  charges directly
attributable to the purchase.

         The pro forma  information is presented for illustrative  purposes only
and is not  necessarily  indicative  of the  consolidated  operating  results or
consolidated  financial  position that would have been reported had the purchase
occurred  on the date  indicated,  nor is it  necessarily  indicative  of future
operating results or financial position.

         Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)



Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  included
herein have been  prepared by the  Company.  Certain  information  and  footnote
disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally  accepted  accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted,
however,  the Company  believes  that the  disclosures  are adequate to make the
information  presented not misleading.  These pro forma  consolidated  financial
statements  should be read in conjunction with the financial  statements and the
notes thereto included in the Company's annual report for the year ended October
31, 1997.

Note 2.  Pro Forma Adjustments

Certain  pro forma  adjustments  have been  made to the  accompanying  pro forma
condensed  consolidated  balance  sheet and statement of operations as described
below:

(a)   Entry to  record  cash  paid at the  time of the  purchase,  assuming  the
      purchase had occurred as of October 31, 1997

(b)   Entry to reflect the purchase of fixed assets from the seller.

(c)   Entry  to  reflect  the  purchase  of  intangibles  from the  seller.  The
      intangibles purchased were comprised of technology,  development, customer
      list, and goodwill.  These  intangibles will be amortized over a five year
      period.

(d)   Entry  to  reflect  liabilities  incurred  or  assumed  at the time of the
      purchase from seller.

(e)   All revenue and expense items are reflected as provided by Seller. Revenue
      and expenses  associated with the purchased  Flowstream  product line were
      not  accounted  for by the  Seller  as a  separate  division  or  segment.
      Accordingly,  the final determination of the revenues and expenses related
      to the  assets  acquired  may be  adjusted  based  upon the final  audited
      results of the revenues and expenses.

(f)   Entry  to  account  for  amortization  of  intangibles  and  fixed  assets
      purchased by Company.
