                            PERVASIVE SOFTWARE INC.
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                MARCH 31, 1999


1.   GENERAL AND BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Pervasive Software Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Company" or "Pervasive"). All material intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     The financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of
management are necessary to fairly state the Company's financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 1998, which
are contained in the Company's Registration Statement filed on Form S-1
effective as of March 18, 1999 (File No. 333-71955). The results of operations
for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim
period or for the full fiscal year.

2.   SECONDARY PUBLIC OFFERING

     On March 18, 1999, Pervasive 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 of which approximately
$600,000 will be paid subsequent to March 31, 1999. In addition, certain of our
stockholders sold 1,130,000 shares in the offering. In April 1999, Pervasive
received net proceeds of $6.4 million from the sale of an additional 394,500
shares of common stock upon exercise of an option granted to the underwriters of
the offering to cover over-allotments.

3.   BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

     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 as a purchase business combination
by the Company and, accordingly, 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>

                                  (CONTINUED)

3.   BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (CONTINUED)

     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.

     On February 13, 1998, the Company acquired Smithware, Inc. ("Smithware"), a
developer of database development and reporting components for Pervasive
products, for cash and common stock of the Company, 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 the nine months ended March 31, 1999, the
Company paid $80,000 in cash and issued 33,251 shares of the Company's common
stock valued at $332,000 to the former Smithware shareholders upon achieving the
first three milestones specified in the acquisition agreement. Payments of the
additional purchase price was recorded as additional goodwill which is being
amortized over a ten year period.

4.   PRO FORMA RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Pro forma results of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 1999
and 1998 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.

             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (CONTINUED)

7.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     Effective July 1, 1998, the Company adopted AICPA Statement of Position
(SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition and SOP 98-4, Deferral of the Effective
Date of a Provision of SOP 97-2. The Company believes the effect of such
adoption will not have a material effect on its financial statements in fiscal
1999.

     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 March 15, 1999. We believe that the adoption of SOP 98-9
will not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or
financial position.

     In June 1997, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
(Statement 131), which establishes the standards for the manner in which public
enterprises are required to report financial and descriptive information about
their operating segments. In accordance with Statement 131, the Company will
provide the required disclosures for the first time in its annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended June 30, 1999 and on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999. The Company believes that the adoption of Statement 131 will
not affect its results of operations or financial position, and will not
significantly affect the disclosure of segment information in the future.

     In February 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 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. The
Company believes that the adoption of Statement 132 will have no affect on its
results of operations, financial position or disclosures in the future.

     In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, which is required to be adopted in fiscal
2000. Because of the Company's minimal use of derivatives, management does not
anticipate that the adoption of Statement 133 will have a significant effect on
the Company's results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

OVERVIEW

     Pervasive Software Inc. is a leading provider of information management
solutions that dramatically simplify the development, deployment and maintenance
of Web-based and client/server applications. Our comprehensive, integrated suite
of software products includes zero administration databases, Web application
servers, Web development and deployment solutions and data management and
reporting tools. Together, these products offer a unique solution that masks the
complexity of developing, deploying and maintaining Web-based applications and
lower the cost of ownership of Web-based distributed computing environments. Our
business model leverages a value-added distribution channel of software
developers, value-added resellers and system integrators around the world.

     On March 18, 1999, Pervasive completed a secondary public offering in which
we sold 1,500,000 shares of our common stock for net proceeds of $23.6 million,
after deducting expenses of the offering of which approximately $600,000 will be
paid subsequent to March 31, 1999. In addition, certain of our stockholders sold
1,130,000 shares in the offering. In April 1999, we received net proceeds of
$6.4 million from the sale of an additional 394,500 shares of common stock upon
exercise of an option granted to the underwriters of the offering to cover over-
allotments.

     On November 12, 1998, we acquired 93% of the outstanding stock of EveryWare
Development Inc., 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. The transaction was recorded using the purchase accounting
method. The following table presents the allocation of the purchase price (in
thousands):

                                                                              =======

     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 for our database products are variable and based generally on user count.
In the case of Tango, license revenues are recognized based on the number of web
application servers deployed. Our OEM licensing program offers independent
software vendors volume discounts and specialized technical support, training
and consulting in exchange for embedding 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 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.

     We derive substantially all of our revenues from the license of our
Pervasive.SQL and Btrieve products, and to a lesser extent from our Tango
products. Since the introduction of Pervasive.SQL in February 1998, licenses of
Pervasive.SQL have represented an increasing portion of our revenues and, as
anticipated, the percentage of revenue from Btrieve has decreased. Although we
expect to continue to derive a significant portion of our revenues from Btrieve
licenses in the near term, we expect that our future operating results will
become increasingly dependent upon continued market acceptance of Pervasive.SQL
and Tango, and anticipate that revenues from the license of Btrieve will
continue to decrease over time. Pervasive.SQL market acceptance is largely
dependent upon factors such as the product development cycles of independent
software vendors and value-added resellers who embed our products into packaged
software applications. In an effort to stimulate market demand for our Tango
products, we launched a marketing program in February 1999 in which we are
offering the Tango development environment for free for a limited time. This
program is intended to encourage developers to build applications on the Tango
platform as a "seeding" strategy for Tango Application Server licenses. Our
future performance will depend on the ability of this and other marketing
programs to generate demand for and gain market acceptance of our Tango
products. We cannot be certain that we will successfully generate license
revenue from our Tango products through this marketing program or otherwise.

     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 only in combination with other products
distributed by Novell. We do not receive any royalties directly from Novell
related to the agreement. We do believe, however, that we will receive fees in
the future by licensing multi-user upgrades for some of the two-user versions
distributed by Novell. We anticipate Novell will begin distributing the software
with the next release of its NetWare product although we cannot be certain when 
such software will be released.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The results of EveryWare subsequent to November 12, 1998 are included in
our consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31,
1999, except for the effect of purchase accounting adjustments for purchased
research and development and amortization of excess of cost over the fair market
value of net assets acquired.

Revenues

     Our revenues increased to $16.0 million for the three months ended March
31,1999, an increase of 64% over the $9.7 million reported for the comparable
period in the prior fiscal year. Our revenues for the nine months ended March
31, 1999 were $41.9 million, representing a 62% increase from the $25.9 million
reported for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. We attributed the
revenue increase in each period to increased market acceptance of our products
operating on Windows NT, increased market acceptance of Pervasive.SQL, expansion
of our worldwide sales organization and to a lesser extent licenses of Tango.
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 57% of our revenues in the three
months ended March 31, 1999 from approximately 45% in the comparable period in
the prior year. These same licenses represented 54% of our revenues in the nine
months ended March 31, 1999 compared to 44% in the comparable period in 1998.
Licenses of our software operating on NetWare represented approximately 33% of
revenues in the three months ended March 31, 1999, as compared to 47% in the
comparable period in the prior year. In the nine months ended March 31, 1999,
NetWare licenses represented 38% of our revenues compared to 50% in the
comparable period in the prior year. 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 

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
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 $3.7 million and $7.0 million in the three months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, representing 38% and 44% of total revenues,
respectively. International revenues were $10.2 million and $17.2 million for
the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, representing 39% and 41% of total
revenues, respectively. We attribute the increase in dollar amount and
percentage in each period primarily to expansion of our international sales
organization, particularly in Europe and 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. In addition, cost of revenues and technical support includes royalties
for license of third-party technologies, although to date such costs have not
been material. Cost of revenues and technical support was $1.3 million and $2.3
million in the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, representing 13% and
14% of total revenues, respectively. Cost of revenues and technical support was
$3.7 million and $6.1 million in the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999,
representing 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 personnel in the U.S., Europe and Japan. We
anticipate that cost of revenues and technical support will continue to increase
in dollar amount as we expand our international operations, particularly in
Japan, provide technical support for additional products and incur increased
royalties related to license of third-party technologies. Cost of revenues and
technical support may vary as a percentage of revenues in the future.

     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 $4.2 million and $6.1
million in the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, representing 44% and
38% of revenues, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses were $10.9 million
and $16.6 million in the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, representing
42% and 40%, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses increased in dollar
amounts in both the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1999 over the
comparable periods in the prior year primarily due to increased costs associated
with hiring additional sales and marketing personnel, the promotion of
Pervasive.SQL and Tango and increased infrastructure costs associated with
foreign sales office expansion. Sales and marketing expenses decreased as a
percentage of revenues in each period primarily because of significant revenue
growth that outpaced sales and marketing expenditures. We expect that sales and
marketing expenses will continue to increase in dollar amount as we continue to
promote Pervasive.SQL and Tango, hire additional sales and marketing personnel
and expand our international operations. Sales and marketing expenses are likely
to continue to fluctuate as a percentage of revenues due to the timing of costs
associated with new product releases, marketing promotions and international
expansion.

     Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist
primarily of personnel and related costs. Research and development expenses were
$2.5 million and $4.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999,
representing 26% of revenues in both periods. Research and development expenses
were $7.1 million and $10.7 million in the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and
1999, representing 27% and 25% of revenues, respectively. Research and
development expenses increased in dollar amount each period primarily due to the
increased hiring of, and contracting with, additional research and development
personnel. Research and development expenses decreased as a percentage of
revenues in the nine months ended March 31, 1999 primarily because of
significant revenue growth that outpaced research and development expenditures.
We anticipate that we 

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
will continue to devote substantial resources to research and development and
that such expenses will continue to increase in dollar amount.

     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.

     In March 1998, we announced a joint development initiative with Oracle
Corporation to enable application developers to create and deploy a single
application for both small businesses and large corporations without substantial
code changes. The joint development effort should also allow existing packaged
application providers to migrate their solutions to Pervasive and Oracle
databases. We have performed, and will perform, substantially all of the
development effort required to create the technology and will own the technology
in its final form. Oracle has allowed us access to certain of their proprietary
information to enable us to design and develop the resulting application
programming interface. We have no financial arrangement with Oracle related to
the initiative. Research and development expenses related to the joint
development initiative with Oracle were not material for the year ended June 30,
1998, or for the nine months ended March 31, 1999, and we do not expect these
expenses to be material in the future.

     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 $795,000 and $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998
and 1999, representing 8% of revenues in both periods. General and
administrative expenses were $2.2 million and $3.5 million in the nine months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, representing 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. We believe
that our general and administrative expenses will increase in dollar amount in
the future as our administrative staff expands to support our growing worldwide
operations.

     Amortization of Excess of Cost Over Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired and
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. The remaining excess cost over the fair market value of the net
assets acquired is being amortized over a ten year period. During the three and
nine month periods ended March 31, 1999, the Company recorded $290,000 and
$460,000, respectively, related to amortization of intangible assets related to
the EveryWare and Smithware acquisitions.

     Provision for Income Taxes. We base our income tax provisions for interim
periods on estimated annual effective income tax rates. The projected income tax
provision for fiscal 1999 reflects our anticipated mix of foreign and domestic
income and the expected benefit from release of our valuation allowance recorded
against our deferred tax assets.

     The estimated effective tax rate, before considering the impact of the non-
deductible charge for purchased research and development, for both the three-
and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1999, was 31%. In the third quarter of
fiscal 1998, we lowered the projected annual effective tax rate for fiscal 1998
from 30% to 28%. As a result, we recorded an effective tax rate of 25% for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 and 28% for the nine months ended March 31, 1998.
The increase in our effective tax rate for fiscal year 1999 is primarily due to

                                       14
<PAGE>
 
increased foreign taxes associated with our increased operations overseas and a
decrease in the expected benefit from partial release of the valuation allowance
recorded against our deferred tax assets. We expect our effective tax rate will
increase in the future once our deferred tax asset is fully realized.

     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:

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

     .    The lack of carryback capacity to realize the deferred tax assets;

     .    Recent increases in expense levels to support our growth;

     .    A limited history of profitability; and

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

     Accordingly, we have recorded a valuation allowance to the extent deferred
tax assets exceed the potential benefit from carryback of deferred items to
offset current or prior year taxable income. We expect our effective tax rate
will increase in the future once our deferred tax asset is fully realized.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash provided by operations was $1.9 million and $4.3 million for the nine
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively. The increase in cash
generated by operations resulted primarily from increased earnings, excluding a
non-cash charge for purchased research and development and amortization of
acquisition related intangibles.

     At March 31, 1999, we held $4.2 million in marketable securities,
consisting of various taxable and tax-advantaged securities. In addition, we
purchased property and equipment totaling approximately $1.7 million for the
nine months ended March 31, 1998 and $4.6 million for the nine months ended
March 31, 1999, including 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 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
million during the quarter ended December 31, 1998 and, therefore, substantially
reduced our liquidity position.

     In February 1998, we acquired Smithware, Inc. ("Smithware"), 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 the nine months ended March 31, 1999, we paid $80,000
in cash and issued 33,251 shares of our common stock valued at $332,000 to the
former Smithware shareholders upon achieving the first three milestones
specified in the acquisition agreement.

     On March 18, 1999, Pervasive completed a secondary public offering in which
we sold 1,500,000 shares of our common stock for net proceeds of $23.6 million,
after deducting expenses of the offering of which approximately $600,000 will be
paid subsequent to March 31, 1999. In addition, certain of our stockholders sold
1,130,000 shares in the offering. In April 1999, we received net proceeds of
$6.4 million from the sale of an
                                       15
<PAGE>
 
additional 394,500 shares of common stock upon exercise of an option granted to
the underwriters of the offering to cover over-allotments.

     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.

     On March 31, 1999, we had $32.5 million in working capital including $28.6
million in cash and cash equivalents and $4.2 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 June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income, or Statement 130. This statement establishes standards for reporting and
display of comprehensive income. We adopted Statement 130 in fiscal 1999.

     In June 1997, the FASB also issued Statement 131, Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Statement 131 establishes the
standards for the manner in which public enterprises are required to report
financial and descriptive information about their operating segments. We are
required to adopt Statement 131 for the year ended June 30, 1999. We believe
that the adoption of Statement 131 will not affect our results of operations or
financial position, and will not significantly affect the disclosure of segment
information in the future.

     In February 1998, the 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, which is required to be adopted in fiscal
2000. Because of the Company's minimal use of derivatives, management does not
anticipate that the adoption of Statement 133 will have a significant effect on
the Company's results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The statement below is a Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure under the United States
Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act.

     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 less than one year, 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 7,
Btrieve v6.15, ODBC Interface v2 and Tango v 3.5 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, except for contingency planning,
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 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;
     
     .    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 

                                       17
<PAGE>
 
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). We have initiated a Year 2000 compliance project to assess
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. We anticipate that a majority of the existing Year 2000 issues
will be eliminated through our Year 2000 compliance project. Nonetheless,
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
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 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The majority of our operations are based in the U.S. and, accordingly, the
majority of our transactions are denominated in U.S. Dollars. However, we do
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, we have operations in Canada, Japan,
Germany, France, Ireland, England, Belgium, and Hong Kong and conduct
transactions in the local currency of each location. We monitor our foreign
currency exposure and, from time to time will attempt to reduce our exposure
through hedging. The impact of fluctuations in the relative value of other
currencies was not material for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Quantitative
and qualitative information about market risk was addressed in Item 7A of our
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998.

                                       18

RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

     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. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business,
financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely
affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and
you may lose all or part of your investment.

WE EXPECT 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 distributor;

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

     .    The mix of domestic and international sales.

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

                                       19
<PAGE>
 
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 323 employees at March 31,
1999, as compared to 209 at March 31, 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 OUR SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION TO AND MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF
PERVASIVE.SQL

     Prior to the release of our Pervasive.SQL products, we derived
substantially all of our revenues from the license of our Btrieve products.
Although we expect to continue to derive a significant portion of our revenues
from Btrieve licenses in the near term, our future operating results will become
increasingly dependent on market acceptance of Pervasive.SQL. We cannot be
certain that future sales of Pervasive.SQL will continue at initial rates. The
pace and timing of market acceptance of Pervasive.SQL has depended largely on
factors such as the product development cycles of developers and resellers who
embed our products into packaged software applications. We cannot be certain
whether or when Pervasive.SQL will become integrated into our customers'
development, marketing and support infrastructure to the same extent as Btrieve.
Although we recognized increased revenue from Pervasive.SQL in the first three
quarters of 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
recently began to market the Tango Application Server and Tango Development. To
date, we have not derived a significant portion of our revenues from the Tango
products. In February 1999, we initiated a marketing program that involved
providing the Tango Development Studio free of charge for a limited time. The
program was designed to stimulate market demand for Tango by creating a base of
developers building web applications on this software. Our future performance
will depend on the ability of this and other marketing programs to generate
demand for and gain market acceptance of our Tango products. 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.

                                       20
<PAGE>
 
     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 successfully integrate Pervasive.SQL with the Tango
          products;
          
     .    Our ability to recruit and train new and existing value-added
          resellers;
          
     .    The success of our seeding promotion involving free downloads of our
          Tango development environment and our ability to ultimately receive
          Tango Application Server revenue from this promotion;

     .    The time lag between adoption and deployment of the Tango product
          line;
          
     .    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 INTEGRATE OUR RECENT ACQUISITION OF EVERYWARE DEVELOPMENT
INC.

     Our failure to successfully address the risks associated with our
acquisition of EveryWare Development Inc. of Toronto, Canada 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 ability to:

     .    Successfully integrate and manage EveryWare's operations, which are
          based in Canada;
          
     .    Retain EveryWare's software developers; and

     .    Implement our business strategy.

WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT PRODUCT CONCENTRATION

     We currently derive substantially all of our revenues from our
Pervasive.SQL and Btrieve data management products. Data management-related
revenue will continue to account for substantially all of our revenues for the
foreseeable future. As a result, 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 and Btrieve 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 "Tango" and
"Pervasive" 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 of the trademark
for these names, and we are aware of other companies that use these marks, in
particular "Tango," in their marks alone or in combination with other words. We
expect that it may be difficult or impossible to prevent third-party uses 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 

                                       21
<PAGE>
 
from achieving significant brand recognition. If we fail to promote and 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
nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, two distributors accounted for a
combined 22% and 20% of revenues, respectively. 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 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 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. Further 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 

                                       22
<PAGE>
 
collaborated with other companies, including Oracle, Novell 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 these
relationships are informal or, if written, terminable with little or no notice.

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 exists. 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.

     We may increasingly be subject to claims of intellectual property
infringement 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. Although we are not aware that any of our
products infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties, third parties
may claim infringement by us with respect to current or future products. 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 embedded
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:

                                       23
<PAGE>
 
     .    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.
          
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 Btrieve and Pervasive.SQL are designed to be Year
2000 compliant. An earlier release of the predecessor to Pervasive.SQL, Scalable
SQL, 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.

                                       24
<PAGE>
 
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 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 offers a small memory footprint database software product,
Adaptive Server Anywhere, which directly competes 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
year, Netscape acquired Kiva Software, Sun Microsystems acquired NetDynamics and
BEA Systems acquired WebLogic. Both Oracle and IBM 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, Bluestone and Microsoft. 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. 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

                                       25
<PAGE>
 
we can. There is also a substantial risk that announcements of competing
products by large competitors such as Microsoft or Oracle 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.

WE ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO A SHIFT IN THE MARKET FOR CLIENT/SERVER APPLICATIONS
TOWARD WEB-BASED APPLICATIONS

     We derive substantially all of our 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. 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. For the nine months
ended March 31, 1999, we derived 41% of our revenues outside North America. Our
international operations are generally subject to a number of risks. These risks
include:

     .    Costs of translating 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.

                                       26

     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.

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 as we use an increasing number of foreign currencies. 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.

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.
