ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

As disclosed in the Micromuse Inc. ("Micromuse") Form 10-K as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on December 28, 1999, Micromuse entered into
an agreement on November 2, 1999, and subsequently closed the agreement on
December 28, 1999, to acquire all of the outstanding common and preferred shares
of Calvin Alexander Networking, Inc. ("CAN"), a privately-held company that
develops leading-edge network auto-discovery technology. Under the terms of the
acquisition agreement, Micromuse issued approximately $43 million worth of its
common stock to acquire CAN. The transaction was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting and was treated as a tax-free reorganization for
federal income tax purposes. Certain agreements have been made to promote the
retention and motivation of CAN employees. A portion of the consideration for
the transaction is subject to a one-year lock-up agreement and a one-year price
guarantee.

To the Board of Directors and

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Calvin Alexander

1999, and the related statements of operations and accumulated
deficit, and cash flows for the period October 28, 1998 (date of

the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Calvin Alexander Networking,

                        CALVIN ALEXANDER NETWORKING, INC.
                          (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
               FOR THE PERIOD OCTOBER 28, 1998 (DATE OF INCEPTION)
                           THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

(Note A) Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

(1) Organization:

      Calvin Alexander Networking, Inc. (the "Company") has been in the
      development state since its inception on October 28, 1998. It is primarily
      engaged in the development of software that finds and identifies problems
      in computer networks.

(2) Property, Equipment and Depreciation:

      Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed
      using accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

      When properties are retired, or otherwise disposed of, the cost and
      related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the
      resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations. The policy of
      the Company is to charge amounts expended for maintenance and repairs to
      expense and to capitalize expenditures for major replacements and
      betterments.

(3) Income Taxes:

      The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
      109 (SFAS No. 109). SFAS No. 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax
      assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to
      differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing
      assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. It also requires an
      adjustment of deferred tax balances for tax rate changes.

(4) 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.

(Note A) Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(continued):

(5) Advertising and Promotion Costs:

      The Company expenses advertising and promotion costs as incurred.

(6) Research and Development Costs:

      Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and
      are included in operating expenses.

(Note B) Stockholders' Equity:

      Capital stock consists of the following at September 30, 1999:

      Common stock issued to founders: par value $.01 per share;
      authorized 2,600,000 shares, issued and outstanding 1,800,000
      shares                                                             $18,000

      Cumulative, convertible, series A preferred stock at a rate per
      annum equal to the discount rate charged by the Federal Reserve
      Banks: par value $.01 per share; authorized 400,000 shares,
      issued and outstanding 200,000 shares; each share of preferred
      stock is convertible into one share of common stock at the
      option of the holder.                                              $ 2,000

(Note C) Property and Equipment:

The following is a summary of property and equipment as of September 30, 1999:

                               Depreciable              Accumulated     Net Book
                                  Life          Cost    Depreciation     Value
                                  ----          ----    ------------     -----

Computer equipment              5 years       $ 83,556     $ 4,955     $ 78,601
Furniture and fixtures          7 years         27,971       5,189       22,782
                                              --------     -------     --------

Totals                                        $111,527     $10,144     $101,383
                                              ========     =======     ========

Depreciation expense amounted to $10,144.

(Note D) Concentration of Risk:

      The Company maintains cash accounts at a high quality financial
      institution. While the Company attempts to limit any financial exposure,
      its deposit balances may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The
      Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.


                                       8
<PAGE>

(Note E) Income Taxes:

      The loss for income tax purposes will be substantially less than the loss
      in the accompanying financial statements, due to differences in treatment
      of research and development costs. However, no deferred tax assets have
      been established herein, due to the uncertainty of the Company earning
      significant taxable income in the future.

(Note F) Commitments and Contingencies:

      The Company leases office space under an agreement which expires during
      September, 2009. This agreement provides for base rent plus additional
      charges, as defined, including real estate taxes over base amounts. Future
      minimum lease payments payable for each of the next five years and in the
      aggregate are as follows:

          2000                                               $  224,000
          2001                                                  230,000
          2002                                                  246,000
          2003                                                  257,000
          2004                                                  265,000
          Thereafter                                          1,810,000
                                                             ----------

                                                             $3,032,000
                                                             ==========

      In April, 1999 the Company entered into employment contracts with two
      officers. Under the terms of the contracts, each officer shall receive an
      annual base salary of $100,000. The term of the agreements is three years.

(Note G) Subsequent Event:

            On November 3, 1999 Micromuse, Inc. agreed to purchase all the
            outstanding stock of the Company for approximately $43 million of
            Micromuse, Inc. stock. The closing is subject to approval by the
            Company's stockholders.

                                 MICROMUSE INC.
          UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements give
effect to the acquisition by Micromuse of all of the outstanding common and
preferred shares of CAN in a business combination accounted for by the purchase
method of accounting.

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations give effect
to the business combination as if it had occurred on October 1, 1998. The pro
forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions
that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments have been made that are necessary to present
fairly the pro forma data. In connection with the transaction, Micromuse
recorded a charge of $11.1 million representing the fair value of in-process
research and development acquired from CAN. This one-time charge is excluded
from the pro forma results of operations.

The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements are
not necessarily indicative of the future results of operations of Micromuse or
the results of operations which would have resulted had Micromuse and CAN been
combined during the periods presented. In addition, the pro forma results are
not intended to be a projection of future results. The unaudited pro forma
combined condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Micromuse Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Form S-3 and Form 10-K as filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2000, February 2, 2000
and December 28, 1999, respectively, and the financial statements of CAN
appearing elsewhere in this Form 8-K.

    NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On November 2, 1999, Micromuse entered into and subsequently closed on December
28, 1999, an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding common and preferred
shares of Calvin Alexander Networking, Inc. ("CAN"), a privately-held company
that develops leading-edge network auto-discovery technology. Under the terms of
the acquisition agreement, Micromuse issued approximately $43 million worth of
its common stock to acquire CAN. The transaction was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting and was treated as a tax-free reorganization for
federal income tax purposes. Certain agreements have been made to promote the
retention and motivation of CAN employees. A portion of the consideration for
the transaction is subject to a one-year lock-up agreement and a one-year price
guarantee.

A summary of the allocation of the purchase price is as follows (in millions):

     In-process research and development                        $11.1
     Net tangible assets                                          0.2
     Intangible assets:
        Assembled workforce                                       0.3
        Core technology                                           5.7
        Goodwill                                                 25.7
                                                                -----
           Total intangible assets                               31.7

                                                                -----
        Total                                                   $43.0
                                                                =====

At the time of the acquisition, the estimated aggregate fair value of CAN's
research and development efforts that had not reached technological feasibility
as of the acquisition date and had no alternative future uses was estimated by
the Company's management to be $11.1 million, and was expensed at the
acquisition date. Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price
over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired less
liabilities assumed, is being amortized over the estimated life of five years.

The unaudited Micromuse balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 is included in the
December 31, 1999 Form 10-Q as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on February 15, 2000.

Pro Forma Adjustments:

(a)   These adjustments represent, for each period presented, the amortization
      of goodwill and purchased intangible assets over the estimated useful
      lives of three to five years.

(b)   To eliminate the one-time charge resulting from the acquisition of
      in-process research and development.

(c)   The financial statements are for the period from October 28, 1998 (date of
      inception) to September 30, 1999.
