                                  EXPLANATORY NOTE

     In October 1998, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a letter 
to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants citing its views on 
the proper procedures and practices that should be followed in purchase 
accounting for acquired in-process research and development related to 
corporate acquisitions. In this letter and in following public statements, 
the Commission has affirmed its intention to require all companies to conform 
to these announced views where purchase accounting for acquired in-process 
research and development is involved. 

     As of the date of this amendment, the Company has completed five 
corporate acquisitions which have been accounted for using the purchase 
method of accounting and which have resulted in charges associated with the 
valuation of acquired in-process research and development.  These 
acquisitions include United Software, Inc. during the second quarter of 
fiscal 1998, Innovative Tech Systems, Inc. and certain technology and other 
assets and liabilities of International Software Solutions, both in the 
second quarter of fiscal 1999, Prototype, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 
fiscal 1999 and FPrint UK Ltd. in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.  The 
Company believes that its periodic reports filed in fiscal 1998 and 1999, 
which include charges for in-process research and development resulting from 
those acquisitions that have been reported to date, were made in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles and established industry 
practices at the time.  However, in response to and in conformance with the 
Commission's announced guidelines on purchase accounting for acquired 
in-process research and development, the Company is restating its financial 
results for all periods extending back to the period ended September 30, 1997.

     This amendment to the Company's current Report on Form 8-K, which sets 
forth the Company's restated financial results for the period, does not 
otherwise attempt to update the information included herein beyond the 
original filing date of the report.

ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     On May 5, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 
acquisition of Innovative Tech Systems, Inc., an Illinois corporation 
("ITS"), based in Warminster, Pennsylvania.  Pursuant to an Agreement and 
Plan of Reorganization dated as of May 7, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement") by 
and among the Company, Homer Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned 
subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), and ITS, and approved by the 
shareholders of ITS as a special meeting held July 27, 1998, the Company 
completed the acquisition of ITS by means of a merger of Merger Sub merged 
with and into ITS (the "Merger"), with ITS remaining as the surviving 
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company under the name 
"Peregrine Systems Facilities Management, Inc."  The Merger was completed 
July 31, 1998.

     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of Common Stock of ITS 
("ITS Common Stock") outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (as 
defined in the Merger Agreement) was converted into the right to receive 
0.2341 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Exchange Ratio").  In 
addition, all options to purchase the ITS Common Stock outstanding 
immediately prior to the Effective Time were assumed by the Company, subject 
only to adjustments to maintain the economic equivalence of the assumed 
options on the basis of the Exchange Ratio.

     In connection with the Merger, holders of outstanding redeemable 
warrants to acquire shares of ITS Common Stock (the "ITS Warrants") approved 
an amendment to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, dates as of July 26, 
1994, as amended, governing the ITS Warrants whereby, at the Effective Time, 
each ITS Warrant was exchanged and converted into the right to receive that 
number of shares of Common Stock of the Company, based on the Exchange Ratio, 
as would have been the case if the ITS Warrants had been exercised for ITS 
Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time on a net issuance basis.

     Additionally, in connection with the Merger certain other warrants to 
acquire ITS Common Stock and/or ITS Warrants were exchanged for and converted 
into the right to receive Common Stock of the Company.


                                       2

<PAGE>

     In connection with the Merger, the Company issued or reserved an 
aggregate of approximately 3,470,000 shares of Common Stock, including shares 
issued upon conversion of the above described warrants and the shares 
issuable upon exercise of outstanding options.  The Common Stock of the 
Company issued in the Merger was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, 
as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to a Registration Statement on 
Form S-4 (File NO. 333-57459) which the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(the "Commission") declared effective on June 24, 1998.  The Common Stock of 
the Company issuable upon exercise of options to purchase ITS Common Stock 
was registered under the Securities Act pursuant  to a Registration Statement 
on Form S-8 which was filed with the Commission on July 31, 1998.

     The Merger constitutes a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of 
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and will be accounted for as a 
"purchase" by the Company.

        NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Basis of Presentation

         The unaudited pro forma financial statements of Peregrine Systems, 
Inc. ("PSI") have been prepared based on the historical statements of PSI for 
the year ended March 31, 1998 and for Innovative Tech Systems, Inc. 
("Innovative") for the year ended January 31, 1998, considering the effects 
of the acquisition under the purchase method. The pro forma balance sheet of 
PSI at March 31, 1998 has been prepared as if the Merger had been consummated 
at March 31, 1998. The pro forma statement of operations for the year ended 
March 31, 1998 has been prepared as if the Merger had been consummated on 
April 1, 1997.

         In management's opinion, all material adjustments necessary to 
reflect the effects of the acquisition have been made. The unaudited pro 
forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the actual 
financial position at March 31, 1998, or what the actual results of 
operations of PSI would have been assuming the acquisition had been completed 
as of April 1, 1997, nor are they indicative of the financial position or 
results of operations for future periods. The pro forma financial statements 
should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and 
notes thereto of PSI and Innovative.

2.   Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions

         (A) The purchase price for the completion of the Innovative 
acquisition was determined by combining the value of PSI Common Stock issued 
to Innovative stockholders (2,662,000 common shares valued at $22.875 per 
share plus $12,033 related to the value of outstanding options and warrants 
assumed), the net assets acquired of Innovative and the estimated 
transactions costs for the acquisition. The estimated direct transaction 
costs to be incurred by the Combined Company include sign-on bonuses, 
transaction fees for investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, financial 
printing and other related charges. The purchase price for the completion of 
the Innovative Tech Systems, Inc. acquisition is summarized below (in 
thousands):
<TABLE>
  <S>                                                                   <C>
  Common stock and value of option and warrants assumed...............  $72,926
  Estimated transaction costs.........................................    9,750
  Net assets acquired, excluding (F)..................................   (5,747)
                                                                        -------
                                                                        $76,929
</TABLE>

         (B) Allocation of the purchase price for the completion of the
Innovative acquisition was determined as follows (in thousands):

<TABLE>
  <S>                                                                   <C>
  Acquired in-process technology .....................................  $18,907
  Intangible assets...................................................  $58,022
                                                                        -------
                                                                        $76,929
</TABLE>

         (C) Amortization of the intangible assets for Innovative will be on 
the straight-line method over five years and will be included in depreciation 
and amortization expense.

         (D) Elimination of Innovative stockholders' equity amounts.

         (E) The pro forma statement of operations excludes the charge of 
$18.9 million for purchased in-process technology, which arose from the 
acquisition. These charges will be included in the Combined Company's 
consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ending September 
30, 1998.

         (F) Reflects the effect of the elimination of the acquiree's 
computer software pending completion of valuation of the capitalized asset.

         (G) Reflects the amortization of intangible assets beginning April 
1, 1997.

         The purchase price for the Innovative acquisition was allocated to 
the tangible and intangible assets of Innovative based on preliminary 
estimates of the fair market value of those assets. The evaluation of the 
underlying technology acquired considered the inherent difficulties and 
uncertainties in completing 


                                       6

the development, and thereby achieving technological feasibility, and the 
risks related to the viability of and potential changes in future target 
markets that the acquired technology has any alternative future uses.
