ITEM 2.  ACQUISITIONS OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on
October 14, 1998, New Era of Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), acquired all the outstanding capital stock of Century Analysis
Incorporated, a California corporation ("CAI") by means of a Share Acquisition
Agreement (the "Agreement") by and among CAI, the shareholders of CAI, and the
Company that was effective September 1, 1998. The total purchase price was $23.0
million cash and 440,031 shares of the Company's common stock. An additional
195,569 shares of the Company's common stock are issuable contingent on CAI
meeting certain post-acquisition performance criteria. The description contained
in this Item 2 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the
Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2 to the Form 8-K.

         Of the 440,031 shares of the Company's common stock used as
consideration in the acquisition, 119,786 shares were placed into escrow, to be
held as security for any losses incurred by the Company in the event of certain
breaches of the representations and warranties covered in the Agreement.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company also agreed to assume all options
outstanding under CAI's option plan. The Company used existing cash and cash
equivalent balances to fund the cash portion of the purchase price.

         The consideration paid by the Company for the outstanding capital stock
of CAI was determined pursuant to arms' length negotiations and took into
account various factors concerning the valuation of the business of CAI,
including valuations of comparable companies and the operating results of CAI.

         The financial statements of CAI and the pro forma financial information
relating to the acquisition, required to be filed in connection with the
acquisition pursuant to Items 7(a) and (b) of Form 8-K, are included herewith.
The unaudited pro forma statements of operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997 give effect to the CAI
acquisition as if it had been consummated at the beginning of the earliest
period presented (January 1, 1997). Such unaudited pro forma financial data
should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto. The unaudited pro forma
statements of operations do not purport to represent what the Company's results
of operations or financial position actually would have been had such
transactions and events occurred on the dates specified, or to project the
Company's results of operations or financial position for any future period or
date. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and
represent, in the Company's opinion, all adjustments necessary to present fairly
the following unaudited pro forma financial data.

         A pro forma balance sheet has not been included as the assets and
liabilities of CAI were consolidated in the September 30, 1998 balance sheet of
the Company reported on the Registrant's quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed on
November 16, 1998.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Shareholders of
  Century Analysis Incorporated:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Century Analysis Incorporated
as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of operations,
shareholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Century Analysis Incorporated at December
31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, effective January 1, 1996
the Company changed its method of accounting for depreciation of property and
equipment.

CENTURY ANALYSIS INCORPORATED

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      GENERAL - Century Analysis Incorporated (the "Company"), a California S
      Corporation, designs, develops, markets and supports software tool
      products that provide productivity, connectivity and information
      management to larger enterprises, and also provides implementation,
      consulting and development services to its customers. The Company's
      principal markets for its products and related services cross all
      industries with a focus on the health care, telecommunications and
      manufacturing industries.

      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.

      Significant estimates used in the financial statements include the
      estimates of doubtful accounts and sales tax liabilities. The amounts the
      Company will ultimately incur or recover could differ materially from the
      Company's current estimates. The underlying assumptions and facts
      supporting these estimates could change in 1998 or thereafter.

      REVENUE RECOGNITION - The Company's revenues are derived from three
      principal sources: (i) fees for the perpetual license of the Company's
      proprietary software products, (ii) revenue from consulting services, and
      (iii) revenue from maintenance agreements for maintaining, supporting and
      providing periodic upgrades of the Company's software products. The
      Company's revenue recognition policies follow Statement of Position
      ("SOP") 91-1 Software Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes license
      fee revenue upon delivery of the software product to the customer. The
      portion of revenues from new license agreements which relate to the
      Company's obligation to provide customer support is deferred and
      recognized ratably over the contract support period, which is generally
      one year. Software maintenance contracts are generally renewable on an
      annual basis, although the Company also negotiates longer-term maintenance
      contracts from time to time. Revenues from separately priced maintenance
      agreements are recognized ratably over the term of the agreements.
      Consulting service revenues are recognized as the services are performed.
      Revenues from contracts that contain both licenses and consulting services
      components are recognized on the percentage of completion method based
      upon total hours incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total hours
      to be incurred.

      CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK - The Company sells principally on a direct
      customer basis and also through a network of distributors. The Company
      performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and distributors
      financial condition and maintains reserves for potential credit losses.

      PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT is stated at cost. Depreciation on computer
      equipment and furniture and equipment is computed on the straight line
      method based on useful lives of 5 to 7 years. Depreciation on leasehold
      improvements is calculated on the straight-line method over the shorter of
      the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term.


                                      -6-
<PAGE>   8

      DEFERRED REVENUE results from cash collections and billed receivables for
      which revenue has not been recognized on software license and maintenance
      agreements.

      RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES - Software development costs incurred
      prior to achieving technological feasibility are considered research and
      development expenses and are expensed as incurred. The establishment of
      technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of recoverability of
      capitalized software costs requires considerable judgment by management
      with respect to certain factors affecting the Company's products,
      including anticipated future gross revenues, estimated economic useful
      life and changes in hardware and software technologies. Generally, the
      establishment of technological feasibility of the Company's products and
      general release coincide. As a result, the Company has not capitalized any
      software development costs to date.

      INCOME TAXES - The Company has elected S Corporation status for income tax
      purposes. The Company is not subject to federal income taxes, as these are
      the responsibility of the individual shareholders. However, California
      requires the annual payment of a minimum tax of $1 or 1.5% of corporate
      taxable earnings.

      STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - The Company accounts for stock-based awards to
      employees using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB No. 25,
      Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.

      STOCK SPLIT - In November 1996, the Company amended its articles of
      incorporation to increase the number of authorized common shares to
      15,000,000 and effected a ten thousand-for-one stock split of its
      outstanding shares of common stock. All share amounts in the accompanying
      financial statements have been restated to give effect to such stock
      split.

      IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED
      OF - The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for
      the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be
      Disposed Of, on January 1, 1996. The statement requires that long-lived
      assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment
      whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
      amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be
      held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an
      asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If
      such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized
      is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets
      exceeds the fair value of the assets. Adoption of this statement did not
      have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations
      or liquidity.

      RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - In September 1997, the Financial
      Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Standards
      ("SFAS") No. 130, Reporting of Comprehensive Income, which requires that
      an enterprise report, by major components and as a single total, the
      change in net assets during the period from nonowner sources. Adoption of
      this statement will not impact the Company's financial position, results
      of operations or cash flows and any effect will be limited to the form and
      content of its disclosures. This statement is effective for fiscal years
      beginning after December 15, 1997.

      In October 1997, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the
      American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued SOP 97-2
      Software Revenue Recognition. This statement provides guidance on applying
      generally accepted accounting principles in recognizing revenues on
      software transactions. SOP 97-2 supersedes SOP 91-1, under which the
      Company's revenues are recognized. This Statement is effective for
      transactions entered into in fiscal years beginning after December 15,
      1997. The 

                                      -7-
<PAGE>   9

      Company is currently evaluating SOP 97-2 to determine what effect, if any,
      SOP 97-2 may have on its revenue recognition policies.

      RECLASSIFICATION - Certain 1996 amounts have been reclassified to conform
      with 1997 presentations.

2.    ACCOUNTING CHANGE

      Effective January 1, 1996, the Company changed its method of accounting
      for depreciation of property and equipment from an accelerated method to
      the straight line method. The Company believes that this change in
      accounting method is preferable because it conforms to the predominant
      industry practice. The cumulative effect at January 1, 1996 of adopting
      this accounting change was an increase in the Company's net income of
      $146. The effect of this accounting change in 1996, in addition to the
      cumulative effect noted above, was an increase in the Company's net income
      of $83.

3.    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

      Property and equipment at December 31, 1997 and 1996 consists of the
      following:

4.    BANK LINE OF CREDIT

      At December 31, 1997, the Company had a $3,000 working capital bank line
      of credit, which was due to expire March 2, 1998. Borrowings bore interest
      at a variable rate of 0.9% above the bank's reference rate (9.4% at
      December 31, 1997). The credit agreement provided that the line of credit
      be collateralized by the personal assets of the two primary shareholders
      and officers of the Company and the Company's trade receivables, and
      contained restrictions related to various matters, including the Company's
      ability to effect mergers or acquisitions without the lender's approval.
      The agreement also required the Company to maintain a minimum level of
      tangible net worth, limit capital expenditures and maintain certain
      defined ratios of cash flow liquidity and leverage and submit audited
      financial statements to the bank within 120 days of year-end. As of
      December 31, 1997 and 1996, $2,850 and $1,575, respectively, were
      outstanding under the bank line of credit.

      In 1998, the Company extended the maturity date of the bank line of credit
      until September 2, 1998. As of December 31, 1997 and thereafter, the
      Company was not in compliance with certain financial covenants and the
      requirement to submit audited financial statements to the bank. On
      September 30, 1998, the bank was repaid the then outstanding borrowings of
      $2,980 in connection with the sale of the Company (see Note 9).

      ADDITIONAL STOCK PLAN INFORMATION - As discussed in Note 1, the Company
      continues to account for its stock-based awards using the intrinsic value
      method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board No. 25, Accounting
      for Stock Issued to Employees and its related interpretations.
      Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized in the financial
      statements for employee stock arrangements.

      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for
      Stock-Based Compensation, ("SFAS 123") requires the disclosure of pro
      forma net income had the Company adopted the fair value method as of the
      beginning of fiscal 1997. Under SFAS 123, the fair value of stock-based
      awards to employees is calculated through the use of option pricing
      models, even though such models were developed to estimate the fair value
      of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting
      restrictions, which significantly differ from the Company's stock option
      awards. These models also require subjective assumptions, including future
      stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect
      the calculated values. The Company's calculations were made using the
      Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
      assumptions: expected life, 5.5 years; zero volatility; risk free interest
      rate, 6.5% in 1997; and no dividends during the expected term. The
      Company's calculations are based on a multiple option valuation approach
      and forfeitures are recognized as they occur. If the computed fair values
      of the 1997 awards had been amortized to expense over the vesting period
      of the awards, pro forma net loss would have been $968 in 1997.

9.    SALE OF THE COMPANY

      On September 30, 1998, 100% of the Company's common stock was sold to New
      Era of Networks, Inc. ("NEON") for approximately $41 million. The sale
      price consisted of approximately $23 million in cash, and 440,031 shares
      of NEON common stock valued at $18 million. NEON also paid $2.98 million
      to the bank (see Note 4) in connection with the closing. An additional
      195,569 shares of NEON common stock are issuable upon meeting certain
      performance criteria.

presented. 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,
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.

         UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         The following pro forma condensed statements of operations are set
forth herein to give effect to the acquisition of CAI by NEON as if such
acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented
(January 1, 1997) by combining the statements of operations data of (i) the
Company and CAI for the year ended December 31, 1997 and (ii) the Company and
CAI for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The pro forma financial
information does not reflect any potential cost savings which may be obtained
following the acquisition. The pro forma adjustments and assumptions are based
on estimates, evaluations and other data currently available. The pro forma
condensed statements of operations are provided for illustrative purposes only
and are not necessarily indicative of the combined results of operations that
would have been reported had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 1997, nor
does it represent a forecast of the combined future results of operations for
any future period. All information contained herein should be read in
conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto of
the Company and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997, the financial statements and notes thereto of CAI included in
the attached Exhibits to this Form 8-K/A, and the notes to the Unaudited Pro
Forma Statements of Operations.

                          NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                            STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

     Effective as of September 1, 1998, NEON acquired all of the outstanding
capital stock of CAI by means of a Share Acquisition Agreement by and among CAI,
the shareholders of CAI and NEON.
 
     The aggregate consideration paid by the Company was $41,000,000, payable as
follows: approximately $23,000,000 in cash and approximately $18,000,000 through
the issuance of 440,031 unregistered shares of the Company's common stock. The
Company also issued stock options exercisable for shares of the Company's common
stock to assume all outstanding CAI stock options valued at approximately
$1,000,000. An additional 195,569 unregistered shares of the Company's common
stock are issuable contingent upon the achievement of certain performance
criteria by CAI. The Company expects that the fees and expenses related to the
acquisition will be approximately $1,500,000. The acquisition was accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the assets,
liabilities and operating results of CAI were included in NEON's consolidated
financial statements from the effective date of the acquisition.
 
     An independent valuation of CAI's net assets was performed to assist in the
allocation of the purchase price. Approximately $13,857,000 of the purchase
price represented the intangible value of in-process research and development
projects that had not yet reached technical feasibility. The related technology
has no alternative future use and will require substantial additional
development by the Company. This amount was charged to operations in the quarter
ended September 30, 1998. A portion of the purchase price was also assigned to
marketable software products ($5,814,000) and goodwill ($29,348,000), which are
being amortized on a straight-line basis over five- and ten-year periods,
respectively. CAI's other assets were valued at approximately $6,800,000 and its
liabilities assumed totaled approximately $12,500,000.

     The NEON and CAI statements of operations have been combined for the year
ended December 31, 1997 and the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 for
the presentation of unaudited pro forma statements of operations only. For pro
forma purposes, the historical statements of operations of NEON and CAI have
been combined as if the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the
earliest period presented (January 1, 1997). These unaudited pro forma
statements of operations, including the notes thereto, should be read in
conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of NEON and
CAI for the indicated periods. Certain reclassifications to the CAI historical
financial statements have been made to conform to the NEON presentation.

     NOTE 1. The CAI acquisition was effective as of September 1, 1998 and,
accordingly, CAI's September 1998 results of operations have been consolidated
in NEON's historical statement of operations for the nine months ended September
30, 1998.

     NOTE 2. The unaudited pro forma net loss per share is based on the actual
weighted average number of shares of NEON common stock outstanding during the
period, adjusted to give effect to 440,031 shares of the Company's common stock
issued pursuant to this acquisition. For the year ended December 31, 1997,
weighted average shares outstanding are further adjusted as described in Note 5
below.

     NOTE 3. The statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 includes the $13.9 million charge for acquired in-process research and
development arising from the Acquisition.

     NOTE 4. Pro forma adjustments related to the CAI purchase price allocation
are as follows:

     (a) Reflects the add-back of the charge for in-process research and
development related to the CAI acquisition and included in the historical
statement of operations of NEON for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.
The pro forma combined statement of operations excludes such write-off of
purchased research and development due to its non-recurring nature.

     (b) Reflects the amortization of intangibles associated with the purchase
of CAI as if the acquisition was completed as of January 1, 1997.

     NOTE 5. For pro forma purposes, the cash portion of the purchase price, $23
million, was assumed to have been funded from proceeds of NEON's initial public
offering ("IPO") in June 1997. Consequently, the pro forma weighted average
shares outstanding for 1997 assume the issuance of common shares for $23,000,000
on January 1, 1997, at the IPO price of $12.00 per share. Interest income of
approximately $656,000 earned on IPO proceeds of $23,000,000, at an assumed
average rate of 5.7% (which approximates NEON's rate of return on its short-term
investments), was eliminated for the period of 1997 subsequent to the IPO.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the pro forma adjustment to
interest income of $874,000 is based on an assumed average rate of 5.7% applied
to the cash portion of the purchase price, $23,000,000, for the period of 1998
prior to the effective date of the acquisition.
