Overview

  Pervasive Software Inc. is a leading provider of application development and
deployment software designed to power the next generation of pervasive computing
and deliver to developers worldwide the freedom to easily create applications
for everyone, everywhere.  Our Tango Web application development environment,
application server and application template products enable software developers
to rapidly develop and deploy robust and scalable e-business and other Web-based
applications with ''point-and-click'' simplicity. Our Pervasive.SQL data
management products enable software developers to create sophisticated yet low
maintenance applications that reach beyond the desktop to easily share
information across everything from hand-held devices and smart cards to
information appliances and the Internet. Combined, these products provide a
unique solution that dramatically simplifies the development, deployment and
maintenance of Web-based applications, lowers the cost of ownership of Web-based
computing environments, and can be extended to new devices, operating systems,
and markets. Enhancing this unique solution is our value-added sales channel of
over 10,000 software developers, application service providers ("ASPs"), Web and
systems integrators, consultants, and value-added resellers.  We develop,
market, sell and support our products worldwide through our principal office in
Austin, Texas, through field sales offices throughout the U.S. and through
international offices in Toronto, Frankfurt, Paris, Brussels, Dublin, London,
Hong Kong and Tokyo.


Industry Background

  Today, the dramatic growth in the use of the Internet as a new distributed
computing environment is driving fundamental changes in business practices
around the world. Web-based applications are proliferating as organizations
conduct electronic commerce, dynamically link partners, suppliers and vendors
and generate other online business, or e-business, opportunities. The evolution
of Web-based development, from simple, static Web pages to dynamic, data-driven
Web-based applications, has given rise to the Web application server, which has
emerged as the platform of choice for enabling Web users to interact with
underlying database systems.

  Despite the many benefits of the Web as a distributed computing environment,
the increasing sophistication of Web-based applications and their interactions
with underlying databases present many of the same complexities as client/server
computing, as well as additional challenges relating to security, user access
and data integrity. These complexities, along with the competitive need to
develop, deploy and modify applications in ''Internet time,'' has created even
more pressure on already strained IT professionals. As a result of these
factors, organizations need Web-based solutions with zero administration
features similar to those deployed in complex client/server environments.

  A robust, high-performance Web application server is only one piece of a
comprehensive solution to this problem. A complete solution for enabling
dynamic, data-driven Web-based applications must seamlessly integrate the Web
application server with a powerful and scalable underlying database that has
zero administration features. The need for such zero administration solutions
will continue to grow as the cost of bandwidth and computing power decreases. We
believe these market forces will give rise to the proliferation of the next
generation of distributed computing environments and devices, such as mobile
computing, smart cards, and information appliances, creating a dramatic increase
in new Web-based applications used by a much broader set of end users.
<PAGE>

  To take advantage of these opportunities and capitalize on our skills and
expertise in simplifying distributed computing, we purchased EveryWare
Development Inc. and its Tango line of Web development and deployment solutions
in November 1998. We believe the combination of our Tango Application Server
with the zero administration functionality of our Pervasive.SQL database offers
a unique, comprehensive solution that dramatically simplifies the development,
deployment and maintenance of Web-based applications, lowers the cost of
ownership of Web-based computing environments and can be extended to new
devices, operating systems and markets.


The Pervasive Solution

  Pervasive Software is a leading provider of application development and
deployment software that dramatically simplifies the development, deployment and
maintenance of Web-based and client/server applications. Our software enables
developers to design applications that reach beyond the desktop and easily share
information across everything from hand-held devices and smart cards to
information appliances and the Internet. Our comprehensive, integrated suite of
software includes Web development and deployment products and high-performance,
zero-administration databases.  Our products:

  .  Enhance developer productivity by reducing the time to develop and deploy
     Web-based applications, reducing time to market;

  .  Simplify application development to appeal to a broader range of software
     developers, including Web application developers, application service
     providers, webmasters, desktop publishers and end users;

  .  Offer a single vendor solution that provides seamless integration of the
     Web application server, the underlying database and a broad range of
     distributed devices and operating systems; and

  .  Minimize the cost of ownership throughout the lifecycle of an application
     by reducing reliance on scarce and expensive database administrators and
     other IT professionals.

  Our Pervasive.SQL database products, which combine the high performance
associated with enterprise-class databases with zero administration features,
are uniquely suited for embedding in Web-based and client/server applications
deployed on a wide variety of operating systems and devices. Today, over 10,000
independent software developers, value-added resellers and systems integrators
have developed or deployed applications that use our databases.

  Our Tango products simplify the development and deployment of Web-based
applications and allow a broad range of Web developers to:

  .  Create dynamic, sophisticated, e-business and other Web-based applications,
     such as e-commerce, customer support and document management applications,
     with ''point and click'' simplicity and faster time to market;

  .  Integrate Web-based applications seamlessly with Pervasive.SQL or other
     databases that are compliant with open database connectivity standards;

  .  Deploy highly scalable, easily modifiable Web-based applications capable of
     handling high traffic volumes; and

  .  Leverage our worldwide marketing, training, professional services and
     support organizations, as well as those of our channel partners.

  Many organizations with scarce IT resources rely on our channel of software
developers, application service providers, or ASPs, Web and systems integrators,
consultants, and value-added resellers to help them develop,

                                       2

and deploys applications using our products.


The Pervasive Strategy

  Pervasive's goal is to be the leading provider of application development and
deployment products to software developers, application service providers, Web
and systems integrators, consultants, and value-added resellers worldwide.  Key
elements of our strategy to attain this goal include:

  Leveraging the combination of Tango and Pervasive.SQL into e-business.  We
have developed e-commerce application templates based on Tango and Pervasive.SQL
that we license to Web software developers and integrators to quickly develop
and deploy e-business applications for their end-user customers.  We believe
that the market for e-business applications is growing rapidly. To take
advantage of these opportunities, we intend to:

  .  Build an e-business alliance of software developers, Web integrators and
     consultants designed to enable the rapid development and broad deployment
     of e-business applications based on our products;

  .  Develop and license to our alliance partners and their end users additional
     application templates designed to enable the rapid deployment of a broad
     range of e-business applications;

  .  Develop and license to our alliance partners and their end users software
     tools, such as connectors and objects, that connect Tango-based Web
     applications to back-end accounting and legacy systems; and

  .  Aggressively invest in the market development activities surrounding our e-
     business alliance initiative.

  Leveraging Our Technology Leadership into New Markets. We have excelled in
providing small memory footprint and zero administration data management
technologies that provide the foundation for thousands of client/server
applications. We have expanded our product offering with the Tango suite of
solutions that simplify the development, deployment and maintenance of Web-based
applications. We believe that the proliferation of mobile computing and embedded
and smart devices will dramatically increase the number of new software
applications used by an even broader set of end users. To exploit these new
market opportunities, we intend to:

  .  Deploy our small memory footprint databases and related technologies on a
     wide range of devices, enabling applications to be deployed and share
     information across everything from handheld devices and smart cards to
     information appliances and the Internet;

  .  Extend our technologies to next generation operating systems, including
     Solaris, Linux, Palm OS, Windows CE, Wind River VxWorks, QNX Neutrino and
     other operating systems as they grow in market share; and

  .  Deliver the leading Web application development and deployment solution by
     further integrating Tango with our Pervasive.SQL database technologies.

  Investing in Lead Generation and Brand Awareness Programs. In conjunction with
our e-business and new market strategies, we intend to significantly invest in

<PAGE>

target the wide range of software developers worldwide that are building Web-
based applications, and are designed to encourage the developers to build their
applications using our application development products and deploy their
applications using our server products.  Our brand awareness programs target the
end users of Web-based applications, and are designed to create awareness of our
Pervasive and Tango brands so that end users demand Web-based applications that
are based on our products.

  Leveraging and Expanding our Worldwide Channel Partners.  We believe that our
investments in training and educating our channel partners worldwide and our
success in encouraging them to deploy applications using Pervasive products have
given us a competitive advantage in the marketplace.  In conjunction with our e-
business strategies, we intend to leverage our channel expertise by continuing
to develop new and additional relationships with Web application developers, Web
integrators and other Web consultants that build and implement e-business
applications using our Web application development and deployment products.  We
intend to build partner loyalty by providing significant product and consulting
revenue opportunities to these channel partners via marketing and lead sharing
programs.

  Expanding Our Strategic Partnerships.   We intend to build upon the
relationships we have formed with current strategic partners, while expanding
our alliances to include new partners with complementary products, technologies
or business models. Our partnerships provide us with many benefits, including:

  .  Increased market recognition and visibility;

  .  Access to new customers, sales channels and consulting services; and

  .  Valuable improvements to our product line.

  In particular, we intend to build and enhance relationships with Schlumberger,
Red Hat, Wind River, IBM, Novell, Apple, Macromedia and 3COM to further enable
the development of applications for the next generation of pervasive computing.
We also intend to build complementary marketing and technology relationships
with other industry partners.

  In November 1998, we expanded our product offerings to include solutions for
Web-based application development and deployment through the acquisition of
EveryWare Development, Inc. and their Tango suite of products. Together, the
Tango Application Server and the Tango Development Studio form a comprehensive
Web development and deployment environment for the creation of robust, business
critical, e-business and other Web-based applications. Our Tango products and
associated services provide professional Web developers with the ability to
create and deploy high-volume, high-performing Web-based applications and Web
sites quickly, easily and cost-effectively. Tango's ease of use further provides
the ability to accept customer or corporate requests to make changes ''on the
fly.''  In addition, we believe Tango provides the lowest total cost of
ownership for creating and maintaining Web-based applications on the market.

  The Tango Application Server enables developers to deploy Web-based
applications on Windows NT, Macintosh or Solaris and enables end users to
utilize Web browsers to access dynamic content in an underlying database. The
Tango Development Studio provides an efficient visual programming environment
for prototyping and developing Web-based applications. The Tango Development
Studio features include a visual ''drag-and-drop'' editor for easy development,
JavaScript integration - an industry-standard scripting language - and
integration with a wide range of back-end corporate information systems, such as
databases, mainframes, and even other servers, for easy, efficient data
management. Our Tango products have been integrated with the zero administration
functionality of our Pervasive.SQL database, personalization technology and e-
business development templates.

  Our line of database and information management software offers the high
performance associated with enterprise databases combined with the simplicity of
our zero administration technology. These products enable our independent
software vendor and value-added reseller customers to more profitably develop,
deploy and maintain Web-based and client/server applications that provide robust
functionality and low overall cost of ownership in environments with scarce IT
resources. Pervasive's database and information management software simplifies
development by enabling developers to write applications capable of running on
multiple platforms and scalable with little or no modification from single user
workstation to client/server and Internet environments. Business critical
applications built on our databases enable organizations to implement Web-based
and client/server systems and automate critical business functions without the
costs and complexities typically associated with enterprise-class applications
and databases.

  In addition to our database server products, we offer the Pervasive.SQL
Software Developer Kit, which includes tools, documentation and licenses to
enable programmers to quickly and easily develop and test  applications that
embed our databases. The Pervasive.SQL Software Developer Kit is designed to
attract new independent software vendors to the Pervasive.SQL development
community. It provides tight integration with leading development tools such as
Microsoft's Visual Basic and Visual C++, Symantec's Visual Cafe, and Inprise's
Delphi to substantially reduce application development time.

  In June 1999, we announced our development of the Pervasive.SQL 2000 family of
database engines for non-PC applications.  The new family of engines will extend
the Pervasive.SQL 2000 product offering to meet the specific footprint size and
functionality requirements of three market segments that we believe are rapidly
emerging: smart cards, embedded systems and mobile devices. Pervasive.SQL 2000
for Smart Cards is designed to integrate with the Java Card environment,
providing both on-card and off-card interfaces that allow data to be
decentralized, secured, shared and managed between multiple stations and
multiple applications.  Pervasive.SQL 2000 for Embedded Systems is designed to
be well suited for use in non-PC information and Internet appliances like set-
top boxes and other applications built for real-time operating systems. Finally,
Pervasive.SQL 2000 for Mobile Devices is a data storage engine designed for
Windows CE and Palm OS deployments that will allow synchronization of data from
handheld devices, such as Internet screen phones and Web-enabled PDA's, to the
corporate server for use in nomadic applications. The Pervasive.SQL 2000
database engines for Smart Cards, Embedded Systems and Mobile Devices are
expected to ship in the fall of 1999.

Sales and Marketing

     Pervasive's sales and marketing organization focuses on our worldwide
channels by targeting software developers that build Web-based and client/server
applications and the ASPs, Web and solutions integrators, consultants and value-
added resellers that sell and implement the applications to end users. In
addition, with the expansion of our product suite to the Internet platform, we
have continued to launch a variety of significant marketing and promotional
campaigns designed to broaden recognition of our Pervasive and Tango brands. Our
marketing organization has primary responsibility for product direction and has
developed a number of programs utilized by the sales organization to support our
channel partners, such as the OEM program for independent software vendors and
partner programs for Web and solutions integrators, consultants and value-added
resellers. These programs are worldwide in scope and capture leads from a
variety of additional marketing programs including direct response marketing and
advertising, joint marketing and public relations.

     Our OEM program focuses on recruiting independent software vendors to embed
our database and Web development/deployment products on an OEM basis. The OEM
program is designed to generate mutually beneficial strategic relationships
between Pervasive and our independent software vendors and ongoing royalties for
us through licensing contracts, which are typically for three-year terms. This
program offers our OEM partners volume discounts, specialized technical support,
training and consulting, which enable delivery of tightly integrated solutions
to end users.

     Our other sales and marketing programs recruit software developers and
channel partners to develop applications that are designed to be deployed with
shrink-wrap versions of Pervasive's database and Web-based products. These
programs include trade shows, direct mail, telemarketing and telesales
activities and hands-on seminars that are designed to further recruit, develop,
support and train software developers and channel partners to facilitate the
deployment of Web-based and client/server applications based on our products.
And, if volumes become sufficient, the sales group recruits these software
developers into our OEM program.

     Our sales and marketing organization utilizes seeding strategies designed
to stimulate high-volume deployment of Web-based and client/server products. Our
database products seeding strategy enables our customers to develop client-based
applications and to deploy them broadly with minimal incremental cost. We then
support our channel partners through a combination of promotional and lead
referral programs to upgrade these applications to client/server environments.
As a result, we generate upgrade revenues while enabling independent software
vendors and value-added resellers to sell higher margin server products to end
users upgrading from single user workstation, or peer-to-peer networks to
client/server environments. We also support our channel partners to identify
customers ready to deploy applications into a three-tier Web application server
environment resulting in licenses of our Tango Development Studio and Tango
Application Server.

     The international sales organization utilizes more than 70 distribution
partners covering more than 80 countries worldwide. The distribution partners
implement sales and marketing programs for a particular region, typically using
our business alliance, distributor or master distributor programs.  In addition
to managing these distributor relationships, the international sales group
recruits and supports channel partners with the same programs as the domestic
sales groups.  We currently have international sales offices in Frankfurt,
Paris, Brussels, London, Hong Kong and Tokyo.


Customer Service and Technical Support

     We offer multiple levels of worldwide customer services, including
technical support, professional consulting services, training, and product
maintenance. First level, or front line, support responds to most customer
inquiries that are routine in scope via telephone and email. Second level, or
back line, support responds to escalated technical issues and supports our large
partners with specialized technical expertise. Self-help support is also
available via our Web site, which includes a searchable knowledge base, answers
to frequently asked questions and technical

                                       8
<PAGE>

white papers. Customer service is provided at no charge for the first 30 days
after initial purchase and at any time via email or our Web site. After 30 days,
we offer contract and fee-based premium support programs.

  In June 1999, we formed a specialized professional services group to fulfill
demand for fee-based training and consulting services from our developer
customers and channel partners. This group combines traditional technical
support expertise with a team of professionals focused on providing customer-
driven, fee-based training and consulting services. Major consulting
opportunities are referred to our channel partners to strengthen channel
loyalty, build the channel's technical ability and increase the resource base
available for future growth.

  In order to provide a higher quality of customer support, we formed a
specialized product maintenance group. Similar to the professional services
group, this group combines traditional technical support expertise with an
engineering development team to provide maintenance for all products, develop
customer-driven enhancements to our products, issue regularly scheduled service
packs and handle escalations of highly technical customer issues.

  Worldwide customer support and professional services are provided through our
corporate offices in Austin, Texas and through support and development centers
in Dublin, Toronto and Tokyo.


Research and Development

  We have made substantial investments in research and development through both
internal development and technology acquisition. As of June 30, 1999, we had 131
employees in research and development, and our research and development
expenditures for fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999 were $6.0 million, $9.6 million and
$15.1 million, respectively. We will continue to invest considerable research
and development resources to further our vision of software development
environments that dramatically simplify the development, deployment and
maintenance of Web-based and client/server applications, enabling applications
to reach beyond the desktop and easily share information across everything from
hand-held devices and smart cards to information appliances and the Internet.

  We have devoted the majority of our research and development activity to
developing feature extensions to our Pervasive.SQL and Tango product lines.  Our
development efforts consist primarily of adding new competitive product
features, expanding the number of computer and network operating systems and
device platforms on which the products can be installed and maintaining the
ability to run in multiple operating system environments. We continue to focus
development activities on enhancing Pervasive.SQL as database software
characterized by a small memory footprint, high-performance and zero
administration requirements, and extending these technologies to support hand-
held devices, smart cards and information appliances.  For Tango, our efforts
center on improving the rapid development capabilities of the Tango Development
Studio, increasing extensibility by augmenting support for industry-standard
interfaces and extending multi-platform support and maintenance features for the
Tango Application Server.

  We are also investing in synchronization technology for integration into a
future release of Pervasive.SQL. Once this integration is complete, future
versions of Pervasive.SQL will be designed to enable developers of mobile and
occasionally connected applications to deliver solutions featuring simple
implementation and low administration requirements.


Technology

 Tango

  Tango is a Web application server development and deployment environment for
generating dynamic Web-based applications and for accessing databases.  Tango
consists of two main components: the Tango Development Studio, which is a
sophisticated editing environment that features a complete graphical user
interface for developing Web application files, and the Tango Application
Server, which is an application server that executes application files created
with the Tango Development Studio.

                                       9
<PAGE>

  The Tango Application Server, a multi-threaded engine, works in conjunction
with an HTTP (Web) server to execute the business logic and database
interactions of a Web application and return HTML to a Web browser.  Web pages
viewed in a Web browser can contain forms or links that point to Tango
application files created with the Tango Development Studio.  When the user
submits a form or clicks a link, the Web server receives the request and passes
it to Tango CGI or one of the plug-ins that, in turn, sends it to the Tango
Application Server.  The Tango Application Server then executes the application
file, which could involve performing multiple actions and interactions with a
database server. A series of action results are merged by the Tango Application
Server to create an HTML page.  When execution is complete, the HTML results are
returned through the CGI or plug-in to the Web server, and then to the user
browser.

  The Tango Development Studio provides a point-and-click, drag-and-drop
interface in which application files are created for use specifically in the
Tango Application Server.  The Development Studio works by querying the database
schema and noting the tables and columns of the database.  Columns can be
dragged into specific actions within the application, thus defining the way in
which the database is accessed.  No knowledge of SQL or database specifics is
required.  Actions can include file access, mail, and general external actions
(e.g., launching applications, accessing Java components, triggering events).
Tango application files are built using a series of custom meta tags that
describe control flow, data, and actions for dynamically generating HTML pages.

  Plug-ins supported by the Tango Application Server include NSAPI, an
application programming interface used in conjunction with Netscape Web servers
such as FastTrack or Enterprise server, and ISAPI, an application programming
interface that is the plug-in interface supported by Microsoft's Internet
Information Server.  Plug-in access to the Tango Application Server is more
efficient than CGI access as the plug-in runs as part of the Web server process
and does not require starting up a separate process.  Databases supported
include Pervasive.SQL, Oracle, Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, and ODBC
data sources.

 Pervasive.SQL

  Pervasive.SQL utilizes our MicroKernel Database Architecture Engine, or MKDE,
architecture.  A primary feature of the MKDE architecture is that it enables
applications to have simultaneous transactional and relational access to data.
Pervasive.SQL provides a number of advantages over other database management
systems including:

  .  Support for larger storage needs (up to 64 gigabytes per table);

  .  Smart components for simplified installation and configuration;

  .  Expanded programming language interfaces;

  .  A file management utility to expedite data import, export and recovery
     tasks;

  .  Enhanced automatic tuning designed to increase performance;

  .  Simultaneous transactional and relational access to the same data; and

  .  Built-in recovery capabilities.

  Applications based on Pervasive database engines can scale from single user
workstation to client/server environments without relinking or changing code.
Network environments can be customized to minimize network traffic and to
balance resource loading by distributing database files and data processing
throughout multi-platform computer networks.

  The configuration options for our database products include the following:

  . Single-User Workstation. The single-user workstation configuration provides
    mobile and stand-alone operation. All access modules and MKDE components
    reside locally, and data files are stored on the

                                       10
<PAGE>

    workstation's disk drive. This configuration is used when the workstation is
    not connected to a network or when data files do not need to be shared.

  . Workgroup. The workgroup configuration enables shared access to data files
    by a small team of users. The workgroup technology is suited for
    environments that support peer-to-peer networking but do not have a
    dedicated database management server.

 .  Client/Server. In a client/server configuration, database requests made by
    an application are typically processed on a server. A small requester module
    on the workstation routes requests from the application to a server database
    engine. Since all data processing and data files reside on the server, this
    configuration minimizes both network traffic and the use of workstation
    resources.

 .  Smart Cards. The smart card configuration is an ultra-small (~8K) engine
    enabling the development and deployment of reliable, secure applications for
    multi-function Java smart cards.

 .  Embedded Systems. The embedded systems configuration is a small foot-print
    (~50K) engine providing in-memory and file data storage suitable for
    applications built for real-time operating systems, such as Wind River VX
    Works and QNX Neutrino.

 .  Mobile Devices. The mobile device configuration is a small foot-print (~50K
    to ~400K) engine that supports platforms such as Windows CE and Palm OS and
    is suitable for applications running on devices such as hand held computers,
    PDAs, Internet screen phones, and other Internet appliances.


Competition

  We encounter competition for our database products primarily from large,
public companies, including Microsoft, Oracle, Informix, Sybase and IBM.  In
particular, Sybase's small memory footprint database software product, Adaptive
Server Anywhere, and Microsoft's product, SQL Server, directly compete with our
products. Microsoft has devoted resources to making its SQL Server product
increasingly applicable to the market for our products and has a number of Web
application development products.  We believe that Microsoft will continue to
incorporate SQL Server and Web application server technology into its operating
system software and certain of its server software offerings, possibly at no
additional cost to its users.  Microsoft's activities could materially adversely
effect sales of our products on the Windows NT platform.  In addition, because
there are relatively low barriers to entry in the software market, we may
encounter additional competition from other established and emerging companies.

  The Web development and deployment market is an emerging, intensely
competitive environment, subject to rapidly changing products and new market
participants.  The market is also undergoing significant consolidation, which
could result in the creation of a relatively few dominant players.  In the last
two years, Netscape acquired Kiva Software, Sun Microsystems acquired
NetDynamics, and BEA Systems acquired WebLogic.  Oracle, Microsoft and IBM have
each entered the Web development and deployment market with internally developed
solutions.  The primary competitor for Tango is Allaire's Cold Fusion product.
Additional competitors include HAHT Software, SilverStream and Bluestone.
Another set of competitors could arise as traditional online transaction
processing and database vendors expand their application server solutions to
include Web-based application development software.  We believe that, given the
projected size of the market and strong trend towards distributed computing, it
is likely that additional competitors may enter the market.  This could lead to
intense pricing pressure, particularly on front-end development tools, and
result in higher research and development costs to compete on a feature-for-
feature basis.

  Most of our competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater
financial, technical, marketing and other resources, significantly greater name
recognition, a larger installed base of customers and in some cases, a
demonstrated willingness to invest so heavily as to be in a loss position.  As a
result, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging
technologies and changes in customer requirements, or to devote greater
resources to the development, promotion and sale of competitive products, than
we can.  There is also a substantial risk that announcements of competing
products by large competitors such as Microsoft, Oracle or IBM could result

                                       11
<PAGE>

in the cancellation of customer orders in anticipation of the introduction of
such new products. In addition, current and potential competitors have
established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with
third parties to increase the ability of their products to address customer
needs and which may limit our ability to sell our products through particular
distribution partners. Accordingly, new competitors or alliances among current
and new competitors may emerge and rapidly gain significant market share in our
current or anticipated markets. We also expect that competition will increase as
a result of software industry consolidation. Increased competition is likely to
result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced margins and loss of
market share, any of which could materially adversely affect our business. We
cannot be certain that we will be able to compete successfully against current
and future competitors or that the competitive pressures that we face will not
materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial
condition.


Proprietary Rights

  Our success and ability to compete are dependent on our ability to develop and
maintain the proprietary aspects of our technology and operate without
infringing on the proprietary rights of others.  We rely primarily on a
combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality
procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights.  We
also believe that factors such as the technological and creative skills of our
personnel, new research and developments, frequent product enhancements, name
recognition and reliable product maintenance are essential to establishing and
maintaining a technology leadership position.  We seek to protect our software,
documentation and other written materials under trade secret and copyright laws,
which afford only limited protection.  We cannot be certain that others will not
develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology or design
around the copyrights and trade secrets owned by us.  We license our database
software products primarily under ''shrink wrap'' licenses (i.e., licenses
included as part of the product packaging).  Shrink wrap licenses are not
negotiated with or signed by individual licensees, and purport to take effect
upon the opening of the product package.  We believe, however, that these
measures afford only limited protection.

  Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties
may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information
that we regard as proprietary.  Policing unauthorized use of our products is
difficult, and while we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of
our software products exists, software piracy can be expected to be a persistent
problem.  Embedded software products, like those offered by us, can be
especially susceptible to software piracy.  In addition, the laws of some
foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights as fully as do the laws
of the U.S.  Any such resulting litigation could result in substantial costs and
diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business,
operating results and financial condition.  We cannot be certain that our means
of protecting our proprietary rights will be adequate or that our competitors
will not independently develop similar technology.  Any failure by us to
meaningfully protect our property could have a material adverse effect on our
business, operating results and financial condition.

  We are not aware that we are infringing any proprietary rights of third
parties.  There can be no assurance, however, that third parties will not claim
infringement by us of their intellectual property rights.  We expect that
software product developers will increasingly be subject to infringement claims
as the number of products and competitors in our industry segment grows and the
functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps.  Any such
claims, with or without merit, could be time consuming to defend, result in
costly litigation, divert management's attention and resources, cause product
shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements.
Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms
acceptable to us, if at all.  In the event of a successful claim of product
infringement against us, should we fail or be unable to either license the
infringed or similar technology or develop alternative technology on a timely
basis, our business, operating results and financial condition could be
materially adversely affected.

  We rely upon certain software that we license from third parties, including
software that is integrated with our internally developed software and is used
in our products to perform key functions.  There can be no assurance that these
third-party software licenses will continue to be available to us on
commercially reasonable terms.  The loss of or inability to maintain any such
software licenses could result in shipment delays or reductions until equivalent
software could be developed, identified, licensed and integrated which could
materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial
condition.

Employees

  As of June 30, 1999, we employed 358 full-time employees, including 107 in
sales and marketing, 131 in research and development, 70 in technical support
and 50 in general and administrative. We believe that our future success will
depend in large part upon our continuing ability to attract and retain highly
skilled managerial, sales, marketing, customer support and research and
development personnel. Like other software companies, we face intense
competition for such personnel, and we have at times experienced and continue to
experience difficulty in recruiting qualified personnel. There can be no
assurance that we will be successful in attracting, assimilating and retaining
other qualified personnel in the future. We are not subject to any collective
bargaining agreement and we believe that our relationships with our employees
are good.


Facilities

   In October 1998 we moved our headquarters to a new facility in Austin, Texas,
and now occupy approximately 87,000 square feet. The new facility provides
additional space and expansion options at rental rates per square foot
consistent with our previous facility.  This new facility is leased through
September 2008. We currently lease other domestic offices in San Francisco, Los
Angeles, Chicago, Boston and Nashville, as well as international offices in
Toronto, Frankfurt, Paris, Brussels, Dublin, London, Hong Kong and Tokyo.  We
continue to be obligated under two leases for our prior headquarters facility in
Austin, Texas.  We have leased all space in our prior facility to two
subtenants. The first lease and corresponding sublease expires in August 2000,
and the second lease and corresponding sublease expires in December 2000.

                                 RISK FACTORS

   You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an
investment decision. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the
only ones we face. Any of the following risks could harm our business, financial
condition or results of operations. In such case, the trading price of our
common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Please see the "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" elsewhere in
this Report on Form 10-K.

Our Financial Results May Vary Significantly from Quarter to Quarter

   Our operating results have varied significantly from quarter to quarter in
the past and will continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter in the
future due to a variety of factors. Many of these factors are outside of our
control. These factors include:

     .  Demand for our products;

     .  Seasonality and the timing of product sales;

     .  Unexpected delays in introducing new products and services;

     .  New product releases or pricing policies by our competitors;

     .  Lack of order backlog;

     .  Loss of a significant customer or distributor;

     .  A reduction in the number of independent software vendors ("ISVs") who
        embed our products;

     .  Increased expenses, whether related to sales and marketing, product
        development or administration; and

     .  The mix of domestic and international sales.

     In recent quarters, we have derived an increasing percentage of our
revenues from relatively larger orders. The sales cycles for these transactions
tends to be longer than the sale cycle on smaller orders. Accordingly, to the
extent that this trend continues, our operating results may fluctuate from
quarter to quarter based on the timing of larger orders.

     In addition, we may experience fluctuations based on our past and future
acquisitions of businesses and product lines. For example, we incurred a loss in
the quarter ended December 31, 1998 as a result of a charge for purchased
research and development associated with our acquisition of EveryWare
Development Inc.

     We will continue to determine our investment and expense levels based on
our expected future revenues, which may not grow at historical rates in future
periods, if at all. A significant portion of our expenses are not variable in
the short term and cannot be quickly reduced to respond to decreases in
revenues. Therefore, if our revenues are below our expectations, our operating
results and net income are likely to be adversely and disproportionately
affected. In addition, we may reduce our prices or accelerate our investment in
research and development, sales or marketing efforts in response to competitive
pressures or to pursue new market opportunities. Any one of these activities may
further limit our ability to adjust spending in response to revenue
fluctuations.

Seasonality May Contribute to Fluctuations in Our Quarterly Operating Results

     Our business has experienced, and is expected to continue to experience,
seasonal customer buying patterns. In recent years, we have had relatively
stronger demand for our products during the quarters ending December 31 and June
30, and relatively weaker demand in the quarters ending March 31 and September
30. We believe that this pattern may continue. In addition, to the extent
international operations constitute a greater percentage of our

                                       14
<PAGE>

revenues in future periods, we anticipate that demand for our products in Europe
and Japan will decline in the summer months because of reduced corporate buying
patterns during the vacation season.

We Currently Operate Without a Backlog

   We currently operate with virtually no order backlog because our software
products are shipped and revenue is recognized shortly after orders are
received. This lack of backlog makes product revenues in any quarter
substantially dependent on orders booked and shipped throughout that quarter. As
a result, if orders in the first month or two of a quarter fall short of
expectations, it is likely we will not meet our revenue targets for that
quarter. As a result, our quarterly operating results would be materially and
adversely affected.

Our Success Depends on Our Management of Significant Growth and Change Within
Our Business

   We have expanded our operations rapidly since inception, resulting in new and
increased responsibilities for management and placing a strain upon our
financial and other resources. During this period, we have experienced revenue
growth, an increase in the number of our employees, an expansion in the scope of
our operating and financial systems and an expansion in the geographic area of
our operations. In particular, we had a total of 358 employees at June 30, 1999,
as compared to 220 at June 30, 1998. In order to manage growth effectively, we
must implement and improve our operational systems, procedures and controls on a
timely basis. If we fail to implement and improve these systems, our business,
operating results and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.

Our Performance Depends on Market Acceptance of Pervasive.SQL

   We derive a significant portion of our revenues from the license of our
Pervasive.SQL products. Accordingly, our future operating results are
substantially dependent on continued market acceptance of Pervasive.SQL and
future enhancements. We cannot be certain that future sales of Pervasive.SQL
will continue at current rates. Continued market acceptance of Pervasive.SQL may
be influenced heavily by factors outside of our control such as new product
offerings or promotions by competitors and the product development cycles of
developers and resellers who embed our products into packaged software
applications. Although we recognized increased revenue from Pervasive.SQL in
each quarter in fiscal 1999, one-time upgrades from earlier versions of our
products, our favorable upgrade pricing, or other factors may have contributed
to such sales.

Our Future Success Will Depend on Our Ability to Successfully Market and Support
Tango

   We acquired the technology for our Tango products in November 1998 and we
began to market the Tango Application Server and Tango Development Studio both
as stand-alone products and integrated with Pervasive.SQL during the third
quarter of fiscal 1999. To date, we have not derived significant revenues from
the Tango products. Our performance depends on our ability to generate demand
for, gain market acceptance of and effectively support our Tango products in the
near future. As a result, we expect to devote significant resourses to our sales
and marketing efforts relating to Tango. Because of our limited experience
marketing the Tango products, we cannot be certain that we will achieve market
acceptance for or generate significant revenue from the Tango products. Our
ability to rapidly gain market acceptance and to effectively support our Tango
products is subject to a number of factors, including:

  .  Our ability to further integrate Pervasive.SQL with the Tango products;

  .  Our ability to recruit and train new and existing developers, value-added
     resellers, systems integrators, Web integrators and consultants;

  .  The success of promotions involving our Tango development environment and
     our ability to ultimately receive Tango Application Server revenue from
     past and future promotions;

  .  The time lag between adoption and deployment of the Tango product line;

                                       15
<PAGE>

  .  Our ability to successfully market Tango products to our installed base of
     customers, independent software vendors and value-added resellers;

  .  The extent of competitive pricing pressure from companies in our markets
     that are willing to accept losses in an attempt to gain market share; and

  .  Continued growth in the market for Web-based development products.

We Must Successfully Manage Our Acquisition of EveryWare Development Inc.

  Our failure to successfully address the risks associated with our acquisition
of EveryWare Development Inc. of Toronto, Canada and the management of this
office could have a material adverse affect on our business, operating results
and financial condition. We acquired EveryWare in November 1998. The success of
this acquisition will depend on our continued ability to:

  .  Successfully manage EveryWare's operations, which are based in Canada;

  .  Retain EveryWare's software developers; and

  .  Implement our business strategy.

We May Face Problems in Connection With Future Acquisitions or Joint Ventures

   In the future, we may acquire additional businesses, products and
technologies, or enter into joint venture arrangements, that could complement or
expand our business. Our negotiations of potential acquisitions or joint
ventures and our integration of acquired businesses, products or technologies
could divert time and resources. Any future acquisitions could require us to
issue dilutive equity securities, incur debt or contingent liabilities, amortize
goodwill and other intangibles, or write-off purchased research and development
and other acquisition-related expenses. If we are unable to fully integrate
acquired businesses, products or technologies with our existing operations, we
may not receive the intended benefits of acquisitions.

We Have Significant Product Concentration

   Historically, we have derived substantially all of our revenues from our
Pervasive.SQL and Btrieve data management products. On June 30, 1999, we
discontinued general availability of our Btrieve products to consolidate our
development, marketing and technical support resources behind our current
Pervasive.SQL products.  Accordingly, our data management-related revenue from
licenses of Pervasive.SQL will continue to account for substantially all of our
revenues for the foreseeable future. Our future operating results will depend
upon continued market acceptance of Pervasive.SQL and our ability to develop and
market our Tango products. Pervasive.SQL may not achieve continued market
acceptance, and Tango may not achieve market acceptance at all. Any decrease in
demand or market acceptance for our Pervasive.SQL product would have a damaging
effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our Efforts to Develop Brand Awareness of Our Products May Not be Successful

   We believe that developing and maintaining awareness of the "Pervasive" and
"Tango" brand names is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our
products. The importance of brand recognition will increase as competition in
the market for Web-based development and deployment products increases. A key
element of our business strategy is to commit significant resources to promote
our brands. We have not obtained a United States registration for all of these
names, and we are aware of other companies that use the word "Pervasive" or
"Tango" either in their marks alone or in combination with other words. We
expect that it may be difficult or impossible to prevent third-party usage of
these names and variations of these names for competing goods and services.
Competitors or others that use marks that are similar to our brand names may
cause confusion among actual and potential customers, which could prevent us
from achieving significant brand recognition. If we fail to promote and

                                       16
<PAGE>

maintain our brands or incur significant related expenses, our business,
operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely
affected.

A Small Number of Distributors Account For a Significant Percentage of Our
Revenues

   The loss of a major distributor or any reduction in orders by such
distributor, including reductions due to market or competitive conditions,
combined with the inability to replace the distributor on a timely basis, could
materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial
condition. Many of our independent software vendors, value-added resellers and
end users place their orders through distributors. A relatively small number of
distributors have accounted for a significant percentage of our revenues. In the
year ended June 30, 1999, one distributor accounted for 12% of revenues, and in
the year ended June 30, 1998, a second distributor accounted for 10% of
revenues. We expect that we will continue to be dependent upon a limited number
of distributors for a significant portion of our revenues in future periods.
Moreover, we expect that such distributors will vary from period to period. Our
distributors have not agreed to any minimum order requirements. Although we
forecast demand and plan accordingly, if a distributor purchases excess product,
we may be obligated to accept the return of some products.

We Depend on Our Indirect Sales Channel

   Our failure to continue to grow our indirect sales channel or the loss of a
significant number of members of our indirect channel partners would have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating
results. We do not have a substantial direct sales force and derive
substantially all of our revenues from indirect sales through a channel
consisting of independent software vendors, value-added resellers, system
integrators, consultants and distributors. Our sales channel could be adversely
affected by a number of factors including:

  .  The emergence of a new platform resulting in the failure of independent
     software vendors to develop and the failure of value-added resellers to
     sell our products based on our supported platforms;

  .  Pressures placed on the sales channel to sell competing products;

  .  Our failure to adequately support the sales channel; and

  .  Competing product lines offered by certain of our indirect channel
     partners.

   We cannot be certain that we will be able to continue to attract additional
indirect channel partners or retain our current partners. In addition, we cannot
be certain that our competitors will not attempt to recruit certain of our
current or future partners.

We May Not Be Able to Develop Strategic Relationships

   Our current collaborative relationships may not prove to be beneficial to us,
and they may not be sustained. In addition, market acceptance of new product
releases, including our recently announced Pervasive.SQL 2000 for smart cards,
hand-held computers and nomadic devices, may be substantially dependent on
strategic relationships with device manufacturers. We may not be able to enter
into successful new strategic relationships in the future, which could have a
material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial
condition. From time to time, we have collaborated with other companies,
including Schlumberger, Oracle, Red Hat, Wind River, IBM, Novell, Apple and
Macromedia, in areas such as product development, marketing, distribution and
implementation. Maintaining these and other relationships is a meaningful part
of our business strategy. However, many of our current and potential strategic
partners are either actual or potential competitors with us. In addition, many
of our current relationships are informal or, if written, terminable with little
or no notice.

                                       17
<PAGE>

We Depend on Third-Party Technology in Our Products

   We rely upon certain software that we license from third parties, including
software that is integrated with our internally developed software and used in
our products to perform key functions. These third-party software licenses may
not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms. The loss
of, or inability to maintain or obtain any of these software licenses, could
result in shipment delays or reductions until we develop, identify, license and
integrate equivalent software. Any delay in product development or shipment
could damage our business, operating results and financial condition.

We May be Unable to Protect Our Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights

   Our success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to protect our
software and other proprietary technology. We rely primarily on a combination of
copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and
contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights. However, these
measures afford us only limited protection. In addition, we rely in part on
"shrink wrap" and "click wrap" licenses that are not signed by the end user and,
therefore, may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions.
Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain
and use information that we regard as proprietary. Although we believe software
piracy may be a problem, we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy
of our software products occurs. In addition, portions of our source code are
developed in foreign countries with laws that do not protect our proprietary
rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.

   Although we are not aware that any of our products infringe upon the
proprietary rights of third parties, we may be subjected to claims of
intellectual property infringement by third parties as the number of products
and competitors in our industry segment continues to grow and the functionality
of products in different industry segments increasingly overlaps. Any
infringement claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in
costly litigation, cause product shipment delays or the loss or deferral of
sales or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. If we are
required to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, they may not be on terms
acceptable to us. Unfavorable royalty and licensing agreements could seriously
damage our business, operating results and financial condition.

We Must Adapt to Rapid Technological Change

   Our future success will depend upon our ability to continue to enhance our
current products and to develop and introduce new products on a timely basis
that keep pace with technological developments and satisfy increasingly
sophisticated customer requirements. Rapid technological change, frequent new
product introductions and enhancements, uncertain product life cycles, changes
in customer demands and evolving industry standards characterize the market for
our products. The introduction of products embodying new technologies and the
emergence of new industry standards can render existing products obsolete and
unmarketable. As a result of the complexities inherent in client/server
computing environments and the performance demanded by customers for databases
and Web-based products, new products and product enhancements can require long
development and testing periods. As a result, significant delays in the general
availability of such new releases or significant problems in the installation or
implementation of such new releases could have a material adverse effect on our
business, operating results and financial condition. We have experienced delays
in the past in the release of new products and new product enhancements. We may
not be successful in:

  .  Developing and marketing, on a timely and cost-effective basis, new
     products or new product enhancements that respond to technological change,
     evolving industry standards or customer requirements;

  .  Avoiding difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful
     development, introduction or marketing of these products; or

  .  Achieving market acceptance for our new products and product enhancements.

                                       18
<PAGE>

We May be Affected by Unexpected Year 2000 Problems

   We are subject to potential "Year 2000" problems affecting our products, our
internal systems and the systems of our vendors and distributors, any of which
could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and
financial condition. Many existing computer systems and software products do not
properly recognize dates after December 31, 1999. This "Year 2000" problem could
result in miscalculations, data corruption, system failures or disruptions of
operations.

   The latest versions of Pervasive.SQL and Btrieve are designed to be Year 2000
compliant. An earlier release of the predecessor to Pervasive.SQL, Scalable SQL
v3.0, and certain other discontinued products were not designed to be Year 2000
compliant; however, the product documentation described how to utilize the
products in a manner that would support four digit date entries. We cannot be
certain that our software products that are designed to be Year 2000 compliant
contain all necessary date code changes. In addition, third-party applications
in which our products are embedded, or for which our products are separately
licensed, may not comply with Year 2000 requirements, which may have an adverse
impact on demand for our products. As a result, we may incur increased expenses
and lose customers to competing products.

   Tango, when installed alone, does not involve data storage. Thus, the ability
of a Web-based application built with Tango to comply with Year 2000
requirements is largely dependent on whether the database underlying the
application is Year 2000 compliant. Therefore, we cannot ensure that Web-based
applications developed using our products will comply with Year 2000
requirements. For example, if Tango, when installed alone, is connected to a
database that is not Year 2000 compliant, the information received by a Tango
application may be incorrect.

   Changing purchasing patterns of customers impacted by Year 2000 issues may
result in reduced funds available for our products.

   In addition, there can be no assurance that Year 2000 errors or defects will
not be discovered in our internal software systems and, if such errors or
defects are discovered, there can be no assurance that the costs of making such
systems Year 2000 compliant will not be material.

   Year 2000 errors or defects in the internal systems maintained by our vendors
or distributors could require us to incur significant unanticipated expenses to
remedy any problems or replace affected vendors and could reduce our revenue
from our distribution channel.

Our Software May Contain Undetected Errors

   Errors or defects in our products may result in loss of revenues or delay in
market acceptance, and could materially adversely affect our business, operating
results and financial condition. Software products such as ours may contain
errors or defects, sometimes called "bugs," particularly when first introduced
or when new versions or enhancements are released. In the past, we have
discovered software errors in certain of our new products after their
introduction. Despite our testing, current versions, new versions or
enhancements of our products may still have defects and errors after
commencement of commercial shipments.

We May Become Subject to Product Liability Claims

   A product liability claim, whether or not successful, could damage our
reputation and our business, operating results and financial condition. Our
license agreements with our customers typically contain provisions designed to
limit our exposure to potential product liability claims. However, these
contract provisions may not preclude all potential claims. Product liability
claims could require us to spend significant time and money in litigation or to
pay significant damages.

We Compete with Microsoft while Simultaneously Supporting Microsoft Technologies

   We currently compete with Microsoft in the market for data management and Web
development and deployment products while simultaneously maintaining a working
relationship with Microsoft. Microsoft has a

                                       19
<PAGE>

longer operating history, a larger installed base of customers and substantially
greater financial, distribution, marketing and technical resources than the
Company. As a result, we may not be able to compete effectively with Microsoft
now or in the future, and our business, operating results and financial
condition may be materially adversely affected.

   We expect that Microsoft's commitment to and presence in both the database
and Web development and deployment products markets will substantially increase
competitive pressures. We believe that Microsoft will continue to incorporate
Web application server or SQL Server database technology into its operating
system software and certain of its server software offerings, possibly at no
additional cost to its users. We believe that Microsoft will also continue to
enhance its SQL Server database technology.

   We believe that we must maintain a working relationship with Microsoft to
achieve success. Many of our customers use Microsoft-based operating platforms.
Thus it is critical to our success that our products be closely integrated with
Microsoft technologies. Notwithstanding our historical and current support of
Microsoft platforms, Microsoft may in the future promote technologies and
standards more directly competitive with or not compatible with our technology.

We Face Significant Competition From Other Companies

   We encounter competition for our database products primarily from large,
public companies, including Microsoft, Oracle, Informix, Sybase and IBM. In
particular, Sybase's small memory footprint database software product, Adaptive
Server Anywhere and Microsoft's product, SQL Server, directly compete with our
products. In addition, because there are relatively low barriers to entry in the
software market, we may encounter additional competition from other established
and emerging companies.

   The Web development and deployment market is an emerging, intensely
competitive environment, subject to rapidly changing products and new market
participants. The market is also undergoing tremendous consolidation, which
could result in the creation of a relatively few dominant players. In the last
two years, Netscape acquired Kiva Software, Sun Microsystems acquired
NetDynamics and BEA Systems acquired WebLogic.  Oracle, Microsoft and IBM have
each entered the Web development and deployment market with internally developed
solutions. The primary competitor for Tango is Allaire's Cold Fusion product.
Additional competitors include Silverstream, HAHT Software, and Bluestone.
Another set of competitors could arise as traditional online transaction
processing and database vendors expand their application server solutions to
include Web-based application development software. We believe that, given the
projected size of the market and strong trend towards distributed computing, it
is likely that additional competitors may enter the market. This could lead to
intense pricing pressure, particularly on front-end development tools, and
result in higher research and development costs to compete on a feature-for-
feature basis.

   Most of our competitors have longer operating histories, significantly
greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, significantly
greater name recognition and a larger installed base of customers. In addition,
some competitors have demonstrated a willingness to, or may willingly in the
future, incur substantial losses as a result of deeply discounted product
offerings or aggressive marketing campaigns.  As a result, our competitors may
be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in
customer requirements, or to devote greater resources to the development,
promotion and sale of competitive products, than we can. There is also a
substantial risk that announcements of competing products by large competitors
such as Microsoft, Oracle or IBM could result in the cancellation of customer
orders in anticipation of the introduction of such new products. In addition,
current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative
relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the ability of
their products to address customer needs and which may limit our ability to sell
our products through particular distribution partners. Accordingly, new
competitors or alliances among current and new competitors may emerge and
rapidly gain significant market share in our current or anticipated markets. We
also expect that competition will increase as a result of software industry
consolidation. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions,
fewer customer orders, reduced margins and loss of market share, any of which
could materially adversely affect our business. We cannot be certain that we
will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors or
that the competitive pressures that we face will not materially adversely affect
our business, operating results and financial condition.

                                       20
<PAGE>

We Are Susceptible to a Shift in the Market for Client/Server Applications
Toward Web-Based Applications

   We have derived substantially all of our historical revenues from the use of
our products in client/server applications. We expect to rely on continued
market demand for client/server applications indefinitely. Although the market
for client/server applications has been growing in recent years, other
application platforms are emerging. In particular, we may see market demand
shift from client/server applications to Web-based applications. This shift may
occur before our Web-based product line achieves market acceptance. In addition,
we cannot be certain that should such a platform shift occur, developers of Web-
based applications would select our Web-based products.  Further, this shift may
result in a change in revenue models from licensing of client/server and web-
based applications to renting of applications from application service
providers.  A decrease in client/server application sales coupled with an
inability to derive revenues from the Web-based application market could have a
material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial
condition.

We Increasingly Depend on the Growth of International Sales and Operations

   We anticipate that for the foreseeable future we will derive a significant
portion of our revenues from sources outside North America. In fiscal 1999, we
derived 43% of our revenues outside North America. Our international operations
are generally subject to a number of risks. These risks include:

  .  Costs of translating and localizing products for foreign languages;

  .  Foreign laws and business practices favoring local competition;

  .  Dependence on local channel partners;

  .  Compliance with multiple, conflicting and changing government laws and
     regulations;

  .  Longer sales cycles;

  .  Greater difficulty or delay in collecting payments from customers;

  .  Difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

  .  Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and the associated effects on
     product demand;

  .  Increased tax rates in certain foreign countries;

  .  Difficulties with financial reporting in foreign countries;

  .  Quality control of certain development activities; and

  .  Political and economic instability.

   We intend to continue expanding our sales and support operations
internationally. Despite our efforts, we may not be able to expand our sales and
support operations internationally in a timely and cost-effective manner. Such
an outcome would limit or eliminate any sales growth internationally, which in
turn would materially adversely affect our business, operating results and
financial condition. Even if we successfully expand our international
operations, we may be unable to maintain or increase international market demand
for our products.

   We expect that planned expansion of international operations will lead to
increased financial and administrative demands on us and our management,
including increased operational complexity associated with expanded facilities,
administrative burdens associated with managing an increasing number of
relationships with foreign partners and expanded treasury functions to manage
foreign currency risks.

                                       21
<PAGE>

Fluctuations in the Relative Value of Foreign Currencies Can Affect Our Business

   To date, the majority of our transactions have been denominated in U.S.
dollars. The majority of our international operation expenses, substantially all
of our sales in Japan and certain other international sales have been
denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Therefore, our operating
results may be adversely affected by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar. As
our international operations expand, our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations
will increase. We have entered into limited hedging transactions to mitigate our
exposure to currency fluctuations. Despite these hedging transactions, exchange
rate fluctuations have caused, and will continue to cause, currency transaction
gains and losses. Although these transactions have not resulted in material
gains and losses to date, similar transactions could have a damaging effect on
our business, results of operations or financial condition in future periods.

We Must Continue to Hire and Retain Skilled Personnel in a Tight Labor Market

   Qualified personnel are in great demand and short supply throughout the
software industry. Our success depends in large part on our ability to attract,
motivate and retain highly skilled employees on a timely basis, particularly
executive management, sales and marketing personnel, software engineers and
other senior personnel. Our failure to attract and retain the highly trained
technical personnel that are essential to our product development, marketing,
service and support teams may limit the rate at which we can generate revenue
and develop new products or product enhancements. This could have a material
adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our Executive Officers and Directors' Substantial Influence Over Stockholder
Voting

   As of June 30, 1999, the executive officers, directors and entities
affiliated with them, in the aggregate, beneficially owned approximately 31% of
our outstanding common stock. These stockholders may be able to exercise
substantial influence over matters requiring approval by our stockholders, such
as the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions.
This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or
preventing a change in control of our Company.

We Have Anti-Takeover Provisions

   The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain
certain provisions that may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or
preventing a change in control of the Company or unsolicited acquisition
proposals that a stockholder might consider favorable, including provisions:
authorizing the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock; establishing advance
notice requirements for stockholder nominations for elections to the Board of
Directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon at stockholders'
meetings; eliminating the ability of stockholders to act by written consent;

Certificate of Incorporation; limiting the persons who may call special meetings
of stockholders; and providing for a Board of Directors with staggered, three-

The Price of Our Stock Has Been Volatile and Could Continue to Fluctuate
Substantially

   Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market. The market price of
our common stock has been volatile and could fluctuate substantially based on a
variety of factors outside of our control, in addition to our financial
performance. Furthermore, stock prices for many companies, including our own,
fluctuate widely for reasons that may be unrelated to operating results.

looking statements include statements regarding the Company's expectations,
beliefs, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future.  These statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause
our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance, or
achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of
activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-

terms or other comparable terminology.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS'


   This Report on Form 10-K  contains forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those

Overview

   Pervasive Software Inc. is a leading provider of application development and
deployment software that dramatically simplifies the development, deployment and
maintenance of Web-based and client/server applications. Our comprehensive,
integrated suite of software products includes development and deployment
products, and high performance zero administration databases, combined, these
products offer a unique solution that simplifies the development, deployment and
maintenance of Web-based and client/server applications and lowers the cost of
ownership of Web-based and client/server distributed computing environments. Our
business model leverages a channel of software developers, application service
providers, Web and systems integrators, and value-added resellers around the
world.

   We derive our revenues primarily from shrink-wrap licenses through
independent software vendors, value-added resellers and distributors and through
OEM license agreements with independent software vendors. Shrink-wrap license
fees are variable and based generally on user count, or in the case of Tango,
number of application servers. Our OEM licensing program offers independent
software vendors volume discounts and specialized technical support, training
and consulting in exchange for integrating our products in packaged applications
and paying us a royalty based on sales of the applications. Additionally, we
generate revenues from version upgrades, user count upgrades, and from upgrades
to client/server environments from single user workstation or workgroup
environments.

   We generally recognize revenues from software licenses when persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, the software has been delivered, the fee is
fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. We generally recognize
revenues related to agreements involving nonrefundable fixed minimum license
fees when we deliver the product master or first copy if no significant vendor
obligations remain. We recognize per copy royalties in excess of a fixed minimum
amount as revenues when such amounts are reported to us. We operate with
virtually no order backlog because our software products are shipped shortly
after orders are received. This makes product revenues in any quarter
substantially dependent on orders booked and shipped throughout that quarter. We
enter into agreements with certain distributors that provide for certain stock
rotation and price protection rights. These rights allow the distributor to
return products in a non-cash exchange for other products or for credits against
future purchases. We reserve for estimated sales returns, stock rotation and
price protection rights, as well as for uncollectable accounts based on
experience.

   Historically, we have derived substantially all of our revenues from our
Pervasive.SQL and Btrieve data management products. On June 30, 1999, we
discontinued general availability of our Btrieve products to consolidate our
development, marketing and technical support resources behind our current Tango
and Pervasive.SQL products.  Accordingly, we expect that our revenue from the
license of Tango and Pervasive.SQL will account for substantially all of our
revenues for the foreseeable future as revenue from the license of Btrieve will
decline substantially over time.  Our future operating results will depend upon
continued market acceptance of Pervasive.SQL and our ability to develop and
market our Tango products.  Pervasive.SQL may not achieve continued market
acceptance, and Tango may not achieve market acceptance at all.  Any decrease in
demand or market acceptance for our Pervasive.SQL product would have a damaging
effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

   In February 1999, we launched a marketing program in which we began offering
the Tango development environment for free through May 1999. This program was
intended to encourage developers to build applications on the Tango platform as
a "seeding" strategy for Tango Application Server licenses. We cannot be certain
that this marketing program or future marketing programs will successfully
generate license revenue from our Tango products.

   On November 12, 1998, we acquired 93% of the outstanding stock of EveryWare
Development Inc., ("EveryWare") and acquired the remaining outstanding shares in
December 1998, for total consideration of $11.8 million, including cash paid to
the EveryWare shareholders, transaction costs and the value of stock options
assumed. The transaction was recorded using the purchase accounting method. The
following table presents the allocation of the purchase price (in thousands):

   In December 1998, we granted Novell, Inc., a non-exclusive, perpetual,
irrevocable license to reproduce and distribute a two-user version of
Pervasive.SQL for distribution in combination with other products distributed by
Novell. Novell is currently distributing our two-user version in a service
release and we believe Novell may begin general distribution in the fall of
1999. We will not receive any royalties directly from Novell related to the
agreement. We do believe, however, that we may receive fees in the future by
licensing multi-user upgrades for some of the two-user versions distributed by
Novell.

   Revenues


   We generated revenues of  $24.5 million, $36.7 million and $59.4 million for
the fiscal years ended June 30, 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively, an increase
of 50% from fiscal 1997 to 1998, and 62% from fiscal 1998 to 1999. We attributed
this revenue increase in each period to increased market acceptance of our
products operating on Windows NT, the introduction of Pervasive.SQL in February
1998 and ongoing expansion of our worldwide sales organization. Although our
revenues have increased in recent periods, we cannot be certain that revenues
will grow in future periods, that they will grow at past rates or that we will
remain profitable on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.

   Licenses of our software operating on Windows NT or other Microsoft operating
systems increased to approximately 54% of our revenues in fiscal 1999 from
approximately 45% in fiscal 1998 and 36% in fiscal 1997. Licenses of our
software operating on NetWare represented approximately 36% of revenues in
fiscal 1999, as compared to 48% in 1998 and 58% in 1997. We believe that the
increase in the percentage of revenues attributable to licenses of our products
operating on Windows NT and other Microsoft operating systems is due to two
factors: (1) the increased market acceptance of our products operating on
Microsoft platforms and (2) the increased market penetration of Microsoft
platforms relative to other operating systems. We expect that the percentages of
our revenues attributable to licenses of our software operating on particular
platforms will continue to change from time to time. We cannot be certain that
our revenues attributable to licenses of our software operating on Windows NT,
or any other operating system platform, will grow in the future, or at all.

   International revenues, consisting of all revenues from customers located
outside of North America, were $8.3 million, $14.2 million and $25.5 in fiscal
1997, 1998 and 1999, representing  34%, 39% and 43% of total revenues,
respectively. We attribute the increase in each period primarily to expansion of
our international sales organization, first in Europe and then in Japan. We
believe that revenues from international markets represent a significant
opportunity. Therefore, we expect that international revenues may account for an
increasing portion of our revenues in the future as we expand internationally,
primarily in Europe and Japan, but also in other areas of the world.

   Costs and Expenses

   Cost of Revenues and Technical Support.   Cost of revenues and technical
support consists primarily of the cost to manufacture and fulfill orders for our
shrink wrap software products and the cost to provide technical support,
primarily telephone support, which is typically provided within 30 days of
purchase and license fees for third-parties technologies embedded in our
products. Cost of revenues and technical support was $3.3 million, $5.3 million
and $8.8 million in fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999, representing 14%, 14%, and 15%
of revenues, respectively.  Cost of revenues and technical support increased in
each period due to increased sales volume and increased technical support and
service personnel in the U.S., Europe and Japan. We anticipate that cost of
revenues and technical support will continue to increase in dollar amount and
may increase as a percentage of revenues in the future as we expand our
international operations, incur increased license fees for third-party
technologies embedded in our products, provide technical support for additional
products and invest in personnel to deliver professional services and training
services to others.

   Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of
salaries, commissions and bonuses earned by sales and marketing personnel,
foreign sales office expenses, travel and entertainment, marketing programs and
promotional expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were $10.0 million, $15.4
million and $22.9 million in fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999, representing 41%, 42%
and 39% of revenues, respectively.  Sales and marketing expenses decreased as a
percentage of revenues in fiscal 1999 primarily because of significant revenue
growth that outpaced sales and marketing expenditures. Sales and marketing
expenses increased in dollar amount each period primarily due to increased costs
associated with hiring additional sales and marketing personnel, the promotion
of Pervasive.SQL, market development activities for Tango and increased
infrastructure costs associated with foreign sales office expansion. We expect
that sales and marketing expenses will continue to increase in dollar amount as
we aggressively invest in the market development activities for Tango and
promote Pervasive.SQL, hire additional sales and marketing personnel and
continue to expand our international operations. Sales and marketing expenses
are likely to continue to fluctuate as a percentage of revenues due to the
timing and extent of Tango market development activities and costs associated
with new product releases, marketing promotions, brand awareness campaigns, lead
generation programs and international expansion.

                                       30
<PAGE>

   Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily
of personnel and related costs. Research and development expenses were $6.0
million, $9.6 million and $15.1 million in fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999,
representing 24%, 26% and 25% of revenues, respectively. Research and
development expenses increased in dollar amount each period primarily due to the
increased hiring of and/or contracting with additional research and development
personnel. We anticipate that we will continue to devote substantial resources
to research and development and that such expenses will continue to increase in
dollar amount, however such expenses are likely to continue to fluctuate as a
percent of revenue due to the timing of costs associated with future product
releases.

   Software development costs that were eligible for capitalization in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 were
insignificant during these periods. Accordingly, we charged all software
development costs to research and development expenses.

   General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of the personnel and other costs of our finance, human resources,
information systems and administrative departments. General and administrative
expenses were $2.9 million, $3.1 million and $4.9 million in fiscal 1997, 1998
and 1999, representing 12%, 9% and 8% of revenues, respectively. We attribute
the increase in dollar amount in each period primarily to the increased staffing
and associated expenses necessary to manage and support our increased scale of
operations, both domestically and internationally. General and administrative
expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue in each period primarily because
of significant revenue growth that outpaced general and administrative
expenditures. We believe that our general and administrative expenses will
continue to increase in dollar amount in the future as our administrative staff
expands to support our growing worldwide operations.

   Charge for Purchased Research and Development. We acquired 93% of the capital
stock of EveryWare Development Inc. in November 1998, and acquired the remaining
outstanding shares in December 1998, for total consideration of $11.8 million,
including cash paid to the EveryWare shareholders, transaction costs and the
value of employee stock options assumed. We accounted for the acquisition using
the purchase method of accounting. We hired an independent third-party appraisal
company to determine the valuation of the intangible assets acquired. The
valuation allocated the purchase price as follows: $1.8 million attributed to
purchased research and development; $1.2 million attributed to current
technology; and $200,000 attributed to the assembled workforce. We charged to
operations $1.8 million in purchased research and development in the quarter
ended December 31, 1998, because the underlying research and development
projects had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative
future uses.

   We are using the purchased research and development to complete new products
that have, and in some cases will, become part of our product lines subsequent
to the acquisition.  We believe these new products will include new technology
that furthers the extensibility, ease-of-use, productivity and performance of
our Web application server and Web development and deployment solutions, as well
as new integrated tools and utilities for administration and analysis.  We
expect that substantially all the purchased research and development will reach
technological feasibility, but there can be no assurance that the commercial
viability of these products will actually be achieved.  If commercial viability
is not achieved, we would look to other alternatives to provide these solutions.
We do not believe that a delay in providing such alternative solutions would
have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations.  At the time of
the acquisition, we estimated the time to be incurred to transform the purchased
research and development into commercially viable products as approximately 79
man months or approximately $400,000.

   The nature of the efforts required to complete development of the purchased
research and development into commercially viable products principally relates
to the completion of all designing, prototyping, verification and testing
activities necessary to establish that the products can be produced to meet
design specifications, including functions, features, and technical performance
requirements.

   An independent third-party appraiser determined the value assigned to
purchased research and development. This third-party appraiser projected cash
flows related to future products expected to be derived once technological
feasibility is achieved, including costs to complete the development of
technology and the future revenues and costs which are expected to result from
commercialization of the products. Projected cash flows from the core technology
and other supporting assets were discounted back to their present value at a
rate of 25% for one project and 30% for another project. The resulting net cash
flows from such projects are based on our estimates of revenues, cost of

                                       31
<PAGE>

revenues and technical support, research and development expenses, selling,
general and administrative expenses and income taxes resulting from such
projects. Our estimates were based on expected trends in technology and the
nature and expected timing of completion of purchased research and development.
Nothing has come to our attention that would lead us to believe substantial
changes need to be made to the underlying assumptions.

   Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes was approximately
$593,000, $1.1 million and $2.4 million in fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999,
respectively.  Our effective tax rates were 26%, 28% and 31% for fiscal 1997,
1998 and 1999, respectively, before considering the impact of the charge for
purchased research and development.  Our effective tax rate for fiscal year 1998
and fiscal 1999 increased primarily due to foreign taxes associated with our
increased operations overseas and non-deductible amortization of intangibles
related to the acquisition of EveryWare.

   We believe that, based on a number of factors, it is more likely than not
that a substantial amount of our deferred tax assets may not be realized. These
factors include:

  .  Limited history of operating profits in the Company's Canadian subsidiary;

  .  The potential impact of anticipated deductions due to exercise of employee
     stock options on deferred tax assets with limited carryforward periods;

  .  Recent increases in expense levels to support our growth; and

  .  The intensely competitive market in which we operate and which is subject
     to rapid change.

  Accordingly, we have recorded a valuation allowance against the deferred tax
assets related to the Canadian subsidiary and to the extent domestic deferred
tax assets exceed the potential benefit from carryback or carryover of deferred
items to offset taxable income in the current year, prior years or the next
succeeding year. We expect our effective tax rate will increase in the future as
our domestic deferred tax asset is substantially realized.

Quarterly Results from Operations

  The following table sets forth selected unaudited quarterly information for
our last eight fiscal quarters. We believe that this information has been
prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements
appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K and believe that all necessary adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) have been included in the
amounts stated below and present fairly the results of such periods when read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto. Results of EveryWare are included in the quarterly results beginning
with the acquisition date, November 12, 1998.  The data for the December 31,
1998 quarter includes a charge relating to the acquisition of EveryWare for
purchased research and development of $1.8 million.

*  Amounts for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 exclude a charge for
purchased research and development of $1.8 million, or 13% of total revenues,
and amortization of excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired of
$139,000, or 1% of total revenues, which combined have the effect of $0.13 per
diluted share, respectively. Amounts for the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and
June 30, 1999 exclude amortization of excess of cost over fair value of net
assets acquired of $275,000 and $280,000, or 2% of total revenues in each
period, and have the effect of $0.02 and $0.01 per diluted share, respectively.
Due to the nature and magnitude of these expenses, we believe disclosure of the
Supplemental Operations Data is relevant to investors, but is not intended to be
a substitute for amounts reflected in our audited financial statements. In
addition, the Supplemental Operations Data may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures presented by other companies.

   Our operating results have varied significantly from quarter to quarter in
the past and will continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter in the
future due to a variety of factors. For example, we incurred a loss in the
quarter ended December 31, 1998 as a result of a write-off associated with our
acquisition of EveryWare Development Inc.

                                       33

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Cash provided by operations was $3.7 million, $3.0 million and $6.5 million
for fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.  The decrease in cash generated by
operations from fiscal 1997 to 1998 resulted primarily from increases in
accounts receivable consistent with the increased sales volume during fiscal
1998. The increase in cash provided by operations from fiscal 1998 to 1999
resulted primarily from increased earnings, excluding a non-cash charge for
purchased research and development and amortization expense related to the
acquisition of EveryWare.

   During fiscal 1998 and 1999, we invested $4.9 million and $22 million,
respectively, in marketable securities, consisting of various taxable and tax
advantaged securities. In addition, we purchased property and equipment totaling
approximately $2.2 million, $2.4 million and $5.7 million in fiscal 1997, 1998
and 1999, respectively. This property consisted primarily of computer hardware
and software for our growing employee base and approximately $1.3 million for
furniture and fixtures and improvements related to our new facility. We expect
that our capital expenditures will increase as our employee base grows.

   In March 1999, we completed a secondary offering in which we sold 1,894,500
shares of common stock for net proceeds of $30 million, after deducting the
underwriter's discount and expenses of the offering.

   In November 1998, we acquired 93% of the outstanding stock of EveryWare
Development Inc., and acquired the remaining outstanding shares in December
1998. We financed the acquisition by using available funds of approximately
$11.8 million during the quarter ended December 31, 1998.

   In February 1998, we acquired Smithware, Inc. a developer of database
development and reporting components for Pervasive products. We acquired
Smithware for approximately $390,000 consisting of $170,000 in cash, 23,752
shares of our common stock valued at $160,000 and acquisition costs of $60,000,
plus up to an additional $80,000 of cash and 47,502 shares of common stock
payable upon achievement of certain milestones in the future. In conjunction
with the acquisition, we repaid Smithware's outstanding debts of approximately
$110,000. In fiscal 1999, we paid $80,000 in cash and issued 33,251 shares of
our common stock valued at $326,000 to the former Smithware shareholders upon
achieving the first two milestones specified in the acquisition agreement.

   In February 1998, we purchased an additional 15% ownership interest in our
majority owned subsidiary, Pervasive Software Co., Ltd. (formerly known as
Btrieve Technologies Japan, Ltd.), by acquiring stock held by minority
shareholders for approximately $266,000 in cash. Following this purchase, we
hold 80.5% of the outstanding stock of Pervasive Software Co., Ltd.

   In September 1997, we completed an initial public offering in which we sold
2,000,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $17.4 million, after
deducting the underwriter's discount and expenses of the offering.

   We have entered into licensing agreements with two vendors and anticipate
entering into a licensing agreement with a third vendor related to technology
included, or to be included, with our internally developed products which
require fixed minimum license payments totalling $2.2 million for the year ended
June 30, 2000 and $700,000 for each of the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2002.
These license agreements provide for use of the technologies on a perpetual
basis or for fixed periods of time.

   On June 30, 1999, we had $40.5 million in working capital including $18.1
million in cash and cash equivalents and $21.8 million in marketable securities.
We have a $10.0 million revolving line of credit with a bank, but have at no
time borrowed under such line. Our line of credit contains certain financial
covenants and restrictions as to various matters including our ability to pay
cash dividends and effect mergers or acquisitions without the bank's prior
approval. We are currently in compliance with such financial covenants and
restrictions. We have granted a first priority security interest in
substantially all of our tangible assets as security for our obligations under
our credit lines.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

   In October 1997, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, or
AICPA, issued Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, which
changes the requirements for revenue recognition. In March 1998, the AICPA
issued SOP 98-4, Deferral of the Effective Date of a Provision of SOP 97-2,
"Software Revenue Recognition." We adopted SOP 97-2 and SOP 98-4 in fiscal 1999.
The effect of such adoption was not significant.

   In December 1998, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 98-9, Modification
of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions.
SOP 98-9 amends SOP 98-4 to extend the deferral of the application of certain
passages of SOP 97-2 provided by SOP 98-4 through fiscal years beginning on or
before March 15, 1999. All other provisions of SOP 98-9 are effective for
transactions entered into in fiscal years beginning March 15, 1999. We believe
that the adoption of SOP 98-9 will not have a material effect on our results of
operations or financial position.

   In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued
Statement 132, Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement
Benefits. The Statement supersedes the disclosure requirements in Statements No.
87, Employers' Accounting for Pensions, No. 88, Accounting for Settlements and
Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, and
No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.
Statement 132 revises the required disclosures about pensions and other
postretirement benefits. We believe that the adoption of Statement 132 will have
no affect on our results of operations, financial position or disclosures in the
future.

   In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities.  In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
133, which defers for one year the effective date of Statement 133.  Statement
133 is now effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after
our fiscal year 2001.  We do not anticipate that the adoption of Statement 133
will have a significant effect on our results of operations or financial
position because of our minimal use of derivatives.

Year 2000 Compliance

   The "Year 2000" issue results from an industry-wide practice of representing
years with only two digits instead of four. Beginning in the year 2000, date
code fields will need to accept four digit entries to distinguish twenty-first
century dates from twentieth century dates (2000 or 1900). As a result, in the
coming months, computer systems and/or software used by many companies may need
to be upgraded to comply with such Year 2000 requirements. Significant
uncertainty exists in the software industry concerning the potential effects
associated with such compliance.

   Our Year 2000 readiness plan for our current versions of Pervasive.SQL 2000,
Pervasive.SQL 7, Btrieve v6.15, ODBC Interface v2, Tango v3.6 and Tango v3.5
includes the following:

    .  Assessment--Take an inventory of products to be tested, survey third-
       party programs utilized, generate compliance plan, and define what
       compliance will mean;
    .  Implementation--Devise upgrades to correct any Year 2000 issues;
    .  Validation--Test and debug current versions of products; and
    .  Contingency Planning--Plan to implement in the event that we do not
       achieve Year 2000 compliance by January 1, 2000.

   We have completed all phases of our plan with respect to the current versions
of all of our products. Based on our review, each of the current versions of our
products was found to have no known Year 2000 limitations, when configured and
used in accordance with the related documentation, and provided that the
underlying operating system of the host machine and any other software used with
or in the host machine are also Year 2000 compliant. An earlier release of
Scalable SQL and certain other discontinued products were not designed to be
Year 2000 compliant. However, the product documentation for these earlier
products did describe how to utilize the products in a manner which would
support four digit entries. Earlier versions of our products have not been
tested for Year 2000

                                       35
<PAGE>

compliance as these earlier versions of our products are no longer supported by
us. We recommend upgrading to the current version of our products if customers
have any concerns.

   We have defined "Year 2000 Compliant" as the ability to:

    .  Correctly handle date information needed for the transition from December
       31, 1999 to January 1, 2000;

    .  Function according to the product documentation provided for this date
       change, without changes in operation resulting from the approaching new
       century, assuming correct configuration;

    .  Where appropriate, respond to two-digit date input in a way that resolves
       the ambiguity as to century in a disclosed, defined, and predetermined
       manner;
    .  If the date elements in interfaces and data storage specify the century,
       store and provide output of date information in ways that are unambiguous
       as to century; and
    .  Recognize Year 2000 as a leap year.

   We do not currently have any information concerning the Year 2000 compliance
status of our customers or third-party vendors who embed or resell our products.
Third-party applications that utilize our products may still be written in a
manner that does not take advantage of the Year 2000 capabilities of our
products. If our current or future customers fail to achieve Year 2000
compliance or if they divert technology expenditures away from software products
such as those offered by us to address Year 2000 issues, our business, operating
results, or financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

   We have not specifically tested software licensed from third parties that is
marketed through our channel, but we have received warranties and
representations from our vendors that the licensed software is Year 2000
Compliant. Despite testing by us and by our current and potential customers, and
assurances from developers of products incorporated into our products, our
products may contain undetected errors or defects associated with Year 2000 date
functions. Unknown errors or defects in our products could result in loss of
revenues or delay in market acceptance, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Some
commentators have predicted significant litigation regarding Year 2000
compliance issues. Because of the nature of such litigation, it is uncertain
whether or to what extent we may be affected by it.

   Our internal systems include both our information technology and non-IT
systems (such as our security system, building equipment, and embedded
microcontrollers). Our Year 2000 compliance project has assessed our material
internal IT systems and our non-IT systems. The project encompasses two major
areas of our internal IT structure: the technical services area, including all
hardware, operating system, and standard application issues; and the
applications area, including all corporate database, accounting and custom
applications. To the extent that we are not able to test the technology provided
by third-party vendors, we are seeking assurances from such vendors that their
systems are Year 2000 Compliant. Although we are not currently aware of any
material operational issues or costs associated with preparing our internal IT
and non-IT systems for the Year 2000, we may experience material unanticipated
problems and costs caused by undetected errors or defects in the technology used
in such systems. Undetected errors or defects in the technology used in our
internal IT and non-IT systems could have a material adverse affect on our
business, operating results, or financial condition.

   We have funded our Year 2000 plan from operating cash flows and have not
separately accounted for these costs in the past, nor do we have specific
dollars budgeted for the project as the costs are not considered to be material.
We have not yet fully developed a comprehensive contingency plan to address
situations that may result if we are unable to achieve Year 2000 compliance of
any of our critical operations. The cost of developing and implementing such a
plan may itself be material.

   Finally, we are also subject to external forces that might generally affect
industry and commerce, such as utility or transportation company Year 2000
compliance failures and related service interruptions. The costs associated with
any such external forces could be material.

ITEM 7a  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

   The majority of the Company's operations are based in the U.S. and,
accordingly, the majority of its transactions are denominated in U.S. Dollars.
However, the Company does have foreign-based operations where transactions are
denominated in foreign currencies and are subject to market risk with respect to
fluctuations in the relative value of currencies.  Currently, the Company has
operations in Japan, Germany, France, Ireland, England, Belgium, Hong Kong and
Canada and conducts transactions in the local currency of each location. In
fiscal 1999 the U.S. Dollar weakened against the Japanese Yen. Had the U.S.
Dollar to Japanese Yen rate remained unchanged throughout fiscal 1999, the
result would have been a decrease in revenue and operating income of
approximately $1.2 million and $415,000, respectively. The impact of
fluctuations in the relative value of other currencies was not material for
fiscal 1999.

   The Company monitors its foreign currency exposure and, from time to time
will attempt to reduce its exposure through hedging. Gains and losses on foreign
currency hedging were not material to the consolidated financial statements for
years ended June 30, 1997, 1998 and 1999.

   Pervasive is subject to interest rate risk on its cash and marketable
securities investments, however, this risk is limited as the Company's
investment policy requires the Company to invest in short-term securities and
maintain an average maturity of one year or less.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Pervasive Software Inc.

   We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pervasive
Software Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 1999 and 1998, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in redeemable
convertible preferred stock and stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1999. Our audits also
included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a)(2).
These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Pervasive Software
Inc. and Subsidiaries at June 30, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended June 30, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 June 30, 1999

1.  The Company

   Pervasive Software Inc. (the "Company"), is a leading provider of application
development and deployment software that dramatically simplifies the
development, deployment and maintenance of Web-based and client/server
applications. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    Revenue Recognition

   The Company licenses its software through OEM license agreements with
independent software vendors ("ISVs") and through shrink-wrap software licenses,
sold through ISVs, value-added resellers ("VARs"), systems integrators and
distributors. Revenues are generally recognized when persuasive evidence of an
agreement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, no significant Company
obligations with regard to implementation remain, the fee is fixed or
determinable and collectibility is probable.  Revenues related to OEM license
agreements involving nonrefundable fixed minimum license fees are generally
recognized upon delivery of the product master or first copy if no significant
vendor obligations remain. Per copy royalties related to OEM license agreements
in excess of a fixed minimum amount are recognized as revenue when such amounts
are reported to the Company. The Company generally provides telephone support to
customers and end users in the 30 days immediately following the sale at no
additional charge and at a minimal cost per call. When material, the Company
accrues the cost of providing this support. Revenue from training is recognized
when the related services are performed. The Company enters into agreements with
certain distributors that provide for certain stock rotation and price
protection rights. These rights allow the distributor to return products in a
non-cash exchange for other products or for credits against future purchases.
The Company reserves for the cost of estimated sales returns, rotation and price
protection rights as well as uncollectible accounts based on experience.

The Company adopted Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, or
SOP 97-2, and Statement of Position 98-4, Deferral of the Effective Date of a
Provision of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, or SOP 98-4, in fiscal
1999.  SOP 97-2 and SOP 98-4 provide guidance for recognizing revenue on
software transactions and supersede SOP 91-1.  The adoption of SOP 97-2 and SOP
98-4 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial results.

In December 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue
Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions.  SOP 98-9 amends SOP 98-4 to
extend the deferral of the application of certain passages of SOP 97-2 provided
by SOP 98-4 through fiscal years beginning on or before March 15, 1999.  All
other provisions of SOP 98-9 are effective for transactions entered into in
fiscal years beginning after March 15, 1999.  The Company believes that the
adoption of SOP 98-9 will not have a material effect on the Company's results of
operations or financial condition.

   Software Development Costs

   Software development costs incurred by the Company in connection with its
long-term development projects are accounted for in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. The Company has not
capitalized any internal costs through June 30, 1999 related to its software
development activities as such costs incurred have been insignificant.

   Advertising Costs

   The Company expenses costs of producing advertising and sales related
collateral materials as incurred. Other production costs associated with direct
mail programs, placement costs associated with magazine or other printed media
and all direct costs associated with trade shows and other sales related events
are expensed when the related direct mail is sent, advertising space is used or
the event is held. These expenses in 1997, 1998 and 1999 were approximately
$700,000, $700,000 and $3.0 million, respectively.

   Income Taxes

   Under the asset and liability method of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (Statement 109), deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled.

   Cash and Cash Equivalents

   Cash and cash equivalents include cash, certificates of deposit, and
securities with original maturities less than ninety days when purchased.

   Marketable Securities

   Marketable securities have been classified as available-for-sale and such
designation is reevaluated as of each balance sheet date. While the Company's
intent is to hold debt securities to maturity, they are classified as available-
for-sale because the sale of such securities may be required prior to maturity.
Realized gains and losses are recorded on the specific identification method and
are included in other income. Realized and unrealized gains and losses have been
insignificant for all periods presented.

   All of the Company's marketable securities mature on or before June 30, 2000.
All are stated at cost, which approximates fair market value as of June 30, 1998
and 1999, and consist of the following (in thousands):

   Inventory

   Inventories, consisting primarily of finished goods, are stated at the lower
of cost (first in, first out) or market. The Company utilizes the services of
fulfillment houses to manufacture, store and ship inventory, and process
returned product. The Company does not take title to product in inventory until
the point at which the product is packaged by the fulfillment houses and is
available for shipping.

                                      F-8
<PAGE>

   Property and Equipment

   Property and equipment are stated at cost and are being depreciated over
their estimated useful lives (2 to 7 years) using the straight-line method.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease or the estimated
useful life, whichever is shorter.

   Intangible Assets

   Intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over a
ten year period.

   The Company periodically reviews the carrying amounts of property, plant, and
equipment, indentifiable intangible assets and excess of cost over fair value of
net assets acquired both purchased in the normal course of business and acquired
through acquisition to determine whether current events or circumstances, as
defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 121, Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of, warrant adjustments to such carrying amounts by considering, among other
things, the future cash inflows expected to result from the use of the asset and
its eventual disposition less the future cash outflows expected to be necessary
to obtain those inflows.  At this time, future cash inflows exceed future cash
outflows; thus, no impairment loss has been recognized.  Management reviews the
valuation and amortization periods of excess of cost over fair value of net
assets acquired on a periodic basis, taking into consideration any events or
circumstances which might result in diminished fair value or revised useful
life.  No events or circumstances have occurred to warrant a diminished fair
value or reduction in the useful life of excess of  cost over fair value of net
assets acquired.

   Foreign Currency Transactions

   For the Company's foreign subsidiaries, the functional currency has been
determined to be the local currency, and therefore, assets and liabilities are
translated at year end exchange rates, and income statement items are translated
at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Such translation
adjustments are recorded in aggregate as a component of stockholders' equity.
Gains and losses from foreign currency denominated transactions are included in
other income (expense) and were not material in 1997, 1998 or 1999.

   Financial instruments, principally forward pricing contracts, are used by the
Company from time to time in the management of its foreign currency exposures.
Gains and losses on foreign currency transaction hedges are recognized in income
when realized and offset the foreign exchange gains and losses on the underlying
transactions. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial
instruments for trading purposes.

   Fair Value of Financial Instruments

   Cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities
and other liabilities are stated at cost which approximates fair value due to
the short-term maturity of these instruments.

   Concentration of Credit Risk

   Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit risk consist of short-term investments, including marketable
securities, and trade receivables. The Company's short-term investments, which
are included in cash and cash equivalents and in marketable securities for
reporting purposes, are placed with high credit quality financial institutions
and issuers. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers'
financial condition and generally does not require collateral. Estimated credit
losses are provided for in the financial statements and historically have been
within management's expectations.

   For the year ended June 30, 1997, Distributors A and B accounted for
$2,530,000 and $4,530,000, respectively, or 10% and 19%, respectively, of the
Company's total revenues. For the year ended June 30, 1998,

                                      F-9
<PAGE>

Distributor A accounted for $3,700,000, or 10% of the Company's total revenues.
For the year ended June 30, 1999, Distributor C accounted for $7,200,000, or 12%
of the Company's total revenues. No other customers accounted for more than 10%
of the Company's revenues during the years ended June 30, 1997, 1998 or 1999.

   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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   Stock-Based Compensation

   The Company has adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards
Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("Statement 123").
As allowed by Statement 123, the Company has elected to continue to account for
its employee stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.

   Net Income Per Share

   The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("Statement 128").  Basic earnings per
share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted
earnings per share includes the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding and the number of common equivalent shares which would be issued
related to options, warrants, contingently issued shares, and convertible
securities using the treasury method, unless such additional shares are anti-
dilutive.

   Segments

   The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information ("Statement 131"), in fiscal 1999.  The
adoption of Statement 131 did not have a significant effect on the disclosure of
segment information as the Company continues to consider its business activities
as a single segment.

   Recently Issued Accounting Standards

   In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities ("Statement 133").  In June 1999, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral
of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133 ("Statement 137"), which defers
for one year the effective date of Statement 133.  Statement 133 is now
effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after fiscal
year 2001.  Management does not anticipate that the adoption of Statement 133
will have a significant effect on the results of operations or financial
position because of the Company's minimal use of derivatives.

   At June 30, 1999, the Company's Canadian subsidiary, EveryWare, had Canadian
Federal and Provincial net operating loss carryforwards ("NOL") of approximately
$8.6 million and capitalized research and development cost carryforwards of
approximately $1.4 million. Unless utilized, the NOLs will expire in varying
amounts between fiscal 2000 and fiscal 2005. The capitalized research and
development cost may be carried forward without limitation.

   During the year ended June 30, 1999, the valuation allowance was increased by
$4.3 million due to the Canadian tax carryforwards, and decreased by $816,000
primarily due to additional carryback potential of domestic deferred tax assets.
Due to the history of losses of the Company's Canadian subsidiary, a full
valuation allowance was recorded against the Canadian deferred tax assets. When
realized, the tax benefit for the Canadian deferred tax assets will be applied
to reduce goodwill and then other non-current intangible assets of the acquired
entity.  In addition, management believes that, based on a number of factors, it
is more likely than not that a portion of the Company's domestic deferred tax
assets may not be realized. These factors include the recent increases in
expense levels to support the Company's growth, the potential impact of
anticipated deductions due to exercise of employee stock options on deferred tax
assets with limited carryforward periods and the fact that the Company operates
in an intensely competitive market subject to rapid change. Accordingly, a
valuation allowance has been recorded against the Company's domestic deferred
tax assets to the extent the potential benefit from carryback or carryover of
deferred items to offset taxable income in the current year, prior years or the
next succeeding year.

5.  Employee Benefits

   The Company's employees are offered health coverage under a partially self-
funded plan in which the Company purchases specific stop-loss insurance coverage
at $50,000 per year, per employee. The Company has also purchased an aggregate
stop-loss insurance coverage to limit its maximum annual exposure to claims
funded. Based on the policy census at June 30, 1999, such maximum annual
exposure for the policy year ending December 31, 1999 is approximately $890,000.
The Company pays a fixed fee per covered individual for administrative costs of
the administrator and the cost of the stop-loss insurance purchased on the
Company's behalf. The Company contributes 100% toward the cost to insure each
employee and 75% toward the cost to insure dependents for which coverage is
requested by the employee. Expenses for the partially self-funded plan including
premiums and claims funded for the years ended June 30, 1997, 1998 and 1999 were
approximately $311,000, $508,000, and $902,000 respectively.

                                      F-12

   The Company has a 401(k) retirement plan which is available to all domestic,
full-time employees. The Company's expenses related to the plan were not
significant in the years ended June 30, 1997, 1998 or 1999.

6.  Common Stock and Stock Options

   On September 25, 1997 the Company completed an initial public offering in
which the Company sold 2,000,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds to the
Company of $17.4 million, after deducting the underwriters' discount and other
costs of the offering.

   On March 18, 1999, the Company completed a secondary public offering in which
the Company sold 1,500,000 shares of its common stock for net proceeds of $23.6
million, after deducting expenses of the offering.  In addition, certain of our
stockholders sold 1,130,000 shares in the offering.  In April 1999, the Company
sold an additional 394,500 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $6.4
million upon the exercise of an option granted to the underwriters of the
offering to cover over-allotments.

   The Company's 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "1997 Purchase Plan")
was adopted by the Board of Directors in July 1997 and approved by the
stockholders in August 1997. A total of 1,000,000 shares of common stock has
been reserved for issuance under the 1997 Purchase Plan. The 1997 Purchase Plan
is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code and has
consecutive and overlapping twenty-four month offering periods that begin every
six months. The 1997 Purchase Plan commenced after the completion of the initial
public offering. Each twenty-four month offering period includes four six-month
purchase periods, during which payroll deductions are accumulated and at the end
of which, shares of common stock are purchased with a participant's accumulated
payroll deductions. The 1997 Purchase Plan permits eligible employees to
purchase common stock through payroll deductions of up to 250 shares per
purchase period, 500 shares in the initial purchase period ended April 30, 1998.
The price of common stock to be purchased under the 1997 Purchase Plan is 85% of
the lower of the fair market value of the common stock at the beginning of the
offering period or at the end of the relevant purchase period.  In fiscal 1999,
a total of 59,956 shares of common stock were issued under the 1997 Purchase
Plan - 29,521 shares at a price of $8.18 per share and 30,435 shares at a price
of $8.08 per share.  In fiscal 1998, 43,542 shares of common stock at a price of
$8.50 per share were issued under the Plan.  Shares available for purchase under
the 1997 Purchase Plan were 456,458 and 896,502 at June 30, 1998 and 1999,
respectively.  The Company recorded non-cash compensation expense totaling
approximately $469,000 and $732,000 during 1998 and 1999, respectively related
to employee withholdings under the 1997 Purchase Plan.

   The Company's 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the 1997 Plan) was adopted by the
Board of Directors on May 22, 1997, and approved by the stockholders on August
12, 1997, as the successor to the First Amended and Restated 1994 Incentive Plan
(the 1994 Plan). Outstanding options under the 1994 Plan have been incorporated
into the 1997 Plan and no further option grants will be made under the 1994
Plan. The incorporated options will continue to be governed by their existing
terms, unless the Plan Administrator elects to extend one or more features of
the 1997 Plan to those options.

   Incentive stock options may be granted to employees of the Company entitling
them to purchase shares of common stock for a maximum of ten years (five years
in the case of options granted to a person possessing more than 10% of the
combined voting power of the Company as of the date of grant). The exercise
price for incentive stock options may not be less than fair market value of the
common stock on the date of the grant (110% of fair market value in the case of
options granted to a person possessing more than 10% of the combined voting
power of the Company). Nonqualified stock options may be granted to employees,
officers, directors, independent contractors and consultants of the Company. The
exercise price for nonqualified stock options may not be less than 85% of the
fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant (110% of fair
market value in the case of options granted to a person possessing more than 10%
of the combined voting power of the Company). The Company may also award
Restricted Stock and Stock Appreciation Rights subject to provisions in the 1997
Plan.

                                      F-13

   The vesting period for stock options is generally a four-year period. Options
granted prior to July 1, 1997 are exercisable by the holder prior to vesting,
however, unvested shares are subject to repurchase by the Company at the
exercise price should the employee be terminated or leave the Company prior to
vesting in such options.

   The Company's EveryWare Replacement Option Plan (the EW Plan) was adopted by
the Board of Directors on September 25, 1998 to be effective on consummation of
the acquisition of EveryWare Development Inc. The purpose of the EW Plan was to
replace options granted by EveryWare with Pervasive Software nonqualified stock
options ("Replacement Options"). Options under the EW Plan for purchase of
45,404 shares of common stock of the Company were granted to EveryWare employees
who were continuing employment with Pervasive Software. Options granted to
EveryWare employees under the EW Plan vest in varying amounts over a twenty-six
month period and have exercise prices ranging from $2.87 to $18.85 per share.
Nonqualified stock options may be granted to employees, independent contractors
and consultants of the Company. The exercise price for nonqualified stock
options shall be determined by the Plan administrator. The vesting period for
Replacement Options under the EW Plan is generally a two-year period. The
Company does not intend to grant any additional Replacement Options under the EW
Plan.

   A summary of changes in common stock options during the year ended June 30,
1997, 1998 and 1999 is as follows:

   Of the options exercised, 168,500 shares remain unvested at June 30, 1999 and
may be repurchased by the Company at the option's exercise price and recorded as
treasury stock should vesting requirements not be fulfilled. There were
1,735,865 options exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of $1.00 as
of June 30, 1999.  At June 30, 1999, 3,820,166 shares of common stock were
reserved for exercise of stock options. As part of the Company's 1997 Plan, the

July 1 each calendar year beginning July 1, 1998 and ending July 1, 2000, by
an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the shares of common stock and common
stock equivalents outstanding on the trading day immediately preceding July 1,
with a maximum annual increase of 1,000,000 shares.

   Pro forma compensation expense regarding net income and earnings per share is
required by Statement 123, which also requires the information be determined as
if the Company has accounted for its employee stock options granted subsequent
to June 30, 1995, under the fair value method prescribed by Statement 123.
During fiscal 1998 and 1999, the fair value of each option grant was estimated
on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and during
fiscal 1997, the fair value of each option grant was estimated using the minimum
value model, with the following weighted average assumptions:

9.  Investment in Pervasive Software Co., Ltd.

   In May 1995, the Company acquired a 65.5% controlling interest in a newly
formed entity, Pervasive Software Co., Ltd. ("Pervasive Japan", formerly known
as Btrieve Technologies Japan, Ltd.). Pervasive Japan was formed for the purpose
of localization, support and marketing in Japan of the Company's ultra light
database products for packaged client/server applications.

   On February 10, 1998, the Company acquired an additional 15% ownership
interest in Pervasive Japan by acquiring stock held by minority shareholders for
approximately $266,000 in cash, which approximated its proportionate share of
book value. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method. After
the acquisition, the Company holds 80.5% of the outstanding stock of Pervasive
Japan. Pervasive Japan's net assets before elimination of intercompany balances
at June 30, 1998 and 1999 were approximately $1,900,000, and $2,500,000
respectively. Pervasive Japan had entered into various operating agreements with
certain of its former minority shareholders in which these certain shareholders
provide localization, pre- and post-sales support, management and marketing
services. Expenses related to these agreements during the period in which the
related entity was a minority shareholder were approximately $616,000 and
$326,000 in 1997 and 1998, respectively. One of the former minority shareholders
is also a distributor for Pervasive Japan.  Sales to this distributor during the
period in which the related entity was a minority shareholder were approximately
$2,530,000 and $1,800,000 in 1997 and 1998, respectively.

10.  Business Combinations

   On February 13, 1998, the Company acquired Smithware, Inc. ("Smithware") a
developer of database development and reporting components for Pervasive
products. The Company acquired Smithware for approximately $390,000 consisting
of $170,000 in cash, 23,752 shares of common stock of the Company valued at
$160,000 and acquisition costs of $60,000, plus up to an additional $80,000 of
cash and 47,502 shares of stock payable upon achievement of certain milestones
in the future.  The Company issued 33,251 shares of common stock valued at
$326,000 relating to milestones achieved in fiscal 1999.  In conjunction with
the acquisition, the Company repaid Smithware's outstanding debts of
approximately $110,000. The acquisition has been accounted for under the
purchase method and, accordingly, the operating results of Smithware have been
included in the consolidated

                                      F-16
<PAGE>

financial statements from the date of the acquisition. The acquisition did not
have a material effect on operations. The excess of purchase price over the fair
value of the net assets ($784,000) was recorded as goodwill, is being amortized
over a ten year period and will be increased by any consideration paid upon
achievement of certain milestones in the future. As of June 30, 1999,
accumulated amortization of goodwill related to the Smithware acquisition was
approximately $80,000.

   On November 12, 1998, Pervasive acquired for cash approximately 93% of the
outstanding common shares of EveryWare Development Inc. ("EveryWare"), a Web
development tool and Web-application server provider based in Toronto, Canada.
Pervasive acquired the remaining outstanding shares of EveryWare in December
1998.   The total value of the acquisition, including assumption of outstanding
options and transaction costs, was approximately $11.8 million.  In addition,
the Company made advances to EveryWare totalling $705,000 in October and
November 1998.

   The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method and,
accordingly, the operating results of EveryWare have been included in the
consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.  The net assets
acquired were recorded at their estimated fair values at the effective date of
the acquisition.  The following table presents the allocation of the purchase
price (in thousands):

</TABLE>

   Valuation of the intangible assets acquired were determined by an independent
third-party appraisal company and consisted of purchased research and
development, software technology, and excess of fair value of net assets
acquired.  The amount related to purchased research and development, as
determined by the independent third party appraisal company, was $1.8 million
and was charged against income in the quarter ended December 31, 1998 because
the underlying research and development projects had not yet reached
technological feasibility and had no alternative future uses.  The excess of
costs over fair value of net assets acquired is amortized over a ten year
period.  As of June 30, 1999, accumulated amortization of goodwill related to
the EveryWare acquisition was $690,000.

   Pro forma results of operations for the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1999
are presented below for illustrative purposes, as if the acquisition of
EveryWare had occurred as of the beginning of the fiscal year for each of the
periods presented.

12.  Commitments and Contingencies

   The Company leases its headquarters and remote office space and, in some
cases, is obligated for its proportionate share of utilities and other defined
operating expenses of the related building. Office rent expense for our domestic
and international offices for the year ended June 30, 1997, 1998 and 1999, was
approximately $573,000, 1,204,000, and $2,359,000 respectively.

   The Company moved its headquarters from a facility of approximately 46,000
square feet to a new facility of approximately 70,000 square feet in the second
quarter of fiscal 1999. The new facility provides additional space and expansion
options and renewal options to accommodate future growth at rental rates per
square foot consistent with the previous facility. Future minimum lease payments
at June 30, 1999, under the operating leases for worldwide office space, net of
minimum sublease rent payments of approximately $409,000 through December 2000,

   The Company has entered into licensing agreements with certain vendors
related to technology included, or to be included, with our internally developed
products.  Future minimum license payments under these agreements are $2.2
million, $700,000 and $700,000 for the years ended June 30, 2000, 2001 and 2002,
respectively.  These license agreements provide for continued use of the
technologies on a perpetual basis or for fixed periods of time.

13.  General Litigation

   The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that have arisen in the
normal course of business.  While the ultimate results of these matters cannot
be predicted with certainty, management does not expect them to have a material
adverse effect on the consolidated financial position and results of operations.

14.  Foreign Currency Swap Agreement

   The Company has entered into foreign currency swap contracts to minimize
foreign exchange exposure related to yen-denominated intercompany transactions.
At June 30, 1999, the Company had no foreign currency contracts outstanding.  At
June 30, 1998, the Company had two offsetting foreign currency contracts
outstanding with a notional amount of approximately $224,000 and maturing in
March 1999.  Gains and losses on currency swaps were not material to the
consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 1997, 1998 and 1999.
