MOMENTUM BUSINESS APPLICATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 2000
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Momentum Business Applications, Inc., (the "Company" or "Momentum") was
incorporated in Delaware on November 9, 1998 and commenced operations on January
4, 1999. Momentum was formed and has organized its business in one operating
segment for the purpose of selecting and developing software application
products and commercializing such products (the "Momentum Products"), most
likely through licensing to PeopleSoft, Inc., ("PeopleSoft"). Since its
formation, Momentum's principal activity has been conducting product development
under its agreements with PeopleSoft.
The information at October 31, 2000 and for the three and six months ended
October 31, 2000 and 1999, is unaudited, and includes all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that the management of
Momentum believes necessary for fair presentation of the results for the periods
presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for the full year. The balance sheet for April 30, 2000 was derived
from the audited balance sheet. The condensed financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes
for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000 included in Momentum's 2000 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
Accounting for Revenues and Expenses
Through October 31, 2000, Momentum's revenue consisted entirely of royalty
revenue derived from PeopleSoft's sales and licensing of certain software
products developed under the Development and License Agreement (the "Development
Agreement") between Momentum and PeopleSoft. Royalty and other product revenue
is recorded as earned and reported by PeopleSoft to Momentum on a monthly lag.
Development costs paid to PeopleSoft under a software development agreement are
recorded as research and development expenses when incurred except for amounts
capitalized pursuant to SFAS 86. Amounts paid to PeopleSoft under a services
agreement are recorded as administrative expenses when incurred. (See Note 3 for
a description of the agreements between Momentum and PeopleSoft).
Investment Risk
Momentum invests excess cash in money markets funds and financial
instruments with financial institutions with strong credit ratings. These funds
and investments typically bear minimal risk. The Company has not experienced any
losses on its investments due to institutional failure or bankruptcy.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance 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.
Cash equivalents
Momentum considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At October 31, 2000, cash
equivalents were approximately $143.9 million of which approximately $143.1
million are restricted for use under the Development Agreement (See Note 3 --
"Development Agreement"). The Company's cash and cash equivalents consist
primarily of taxable investments in money market funds at three financial
institutions. All other cash is held in a bank demand deposit.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are comprised of billed receivables arising from
recognized royalty revenue, entirely from PeopleSoft. The Company does not
maintain an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable since it does not
expect to experience losses that could have a material impact on the Company's
future results of operations. Upon collection of the receivables, these funds
will not be restricted.

<PAGE> 7
Capitalized Software
Momentum accounts for costs of computer software to be sold, leased or
otherwise marketed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 86
("SFAS 86"). SFAS 86, "Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold,
Leased, or Otherwise Marketed" establishes standards of financial accounting and
reporting for the costs of computer software to be sold, leased, or otherwise
marketed as a separate product or as part of a product or process, whether
internally developed and produced or purchased. It identifies the costs incurred
in the process of creating a software product that are research and development
costs and those that are production costs to be capitalized, and it specifies
amortization, disclosure, and other requirements.
The Company capitalizes development costs of software developed for sale
when it has reached technological feasibility. Technological feasibility is
attained when software products reach Beta release. Costs incurred prior to the
establishment of technological feasibility are charged to product development
expense. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing
assessment of recoverability of capitalized software development costs require
considerable judgement by management with respect to certain external factors,
including, but not limited to, anticipated future revenues, estimated economic
life and changes in software and hardware technologies. Upon the general release
of the software product to customers, capitalization ceases and such costs are
amortized (using the straight-line method) on a product-by-product basis over
the estimated life, which is generally three years. All product development
expenditures are charged to product development expense in the period incurred.
Purchased Technology from PeopleSoft
In June 2000, Momentum purchased from PeopleSoft all of the intangible
assets and intellectual property (the "Assets") acquired by PeopleSoft via an
acquisition of a company during the first half of 2000. The Assets were
purchased by Momentum for the purpose of advancing the development of at least
two Momentum Products. The total purchase price is comprised of an initial base
price payment of approximately $8.6 million plus a contingent amount of not less
than zero and not more than approximately $1.4 million. Installment payments of
the contingent amount are subject to the full satisfaction of certain conditions
set forth in the purchase agreement between Momentum and PeopleSoft. The Assets
acquired are considered Developed Technology as defined in the Development
Agreement, and as such, PeopleSoft shall pay to Momentum a royalty of 1% of net
revenues on any product other than Momentum Products that incorporate all or any
part of the Assets. During the quarter ended October 31, 2000, an initial
installment of $0.3 million of the contingent amount became due to PeopleSoft.
Income Taxes
Momentum accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This
statement provides for a liability approach under which deferred income taxes
are provided based upon enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in
which the taxes become payable. The Company expects to have a net loss for
fiscal year 2001, and thus only minimum taxes were provided for in the six month
period ended October 31, 2000.
Common Stock
Momentum provides for two classes of common stock, Class A Common Stock and
Class B Common Stock. In December 1998, PeopleSoft declared a stock dividend of
one share of Momentum's Class A Common Stock for every fifty shares of
PeopleSoft stock held as of December 31, 1998, resulting in the distribution of
4.7 million shares. The shares of Momentum Common Stock held by PeopleSoft on
the record date were converted into 1,000 shares of Momentum Class B Common
Stock. The holder or holders of the Momentum Class B Common Stock are entitled
to vote separately as a class with respect to any merger or liquidation of
Momentum, the sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any
substantial asset of Momentum, and any amendments to the Certificate of
Incorporation of Momentum that would alter the Purchase Option, Momentum's
authorized capitalization, or the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation
governing Momentum's Board of Directors. Accordingly, PeopleSoft could preclude
the holders of the Momentum Class A Common Stock from taking any of the
foregoing actions at any time prior to the expiration of the Purchase Option.
Prior to the exercise of the Purchase Option, the holders of the Momentum Common
B Stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect one director, and the
holder or holders of the Momentum Class A Common Stock are entitled to elect up
to four directors. Upon exercise of the Purchase Option, PeopleSoft, as the sole
holder of the Momentum Class B Common Stock, has the right to elect all of the
Momentum directors and to remove incumbent directors with or without cause. (See
Note 3 -- "Purchase Option"). On all other matters, holders of the Momentum
Class A Common Stock and Momentum Class B Common Stock are entitled to vote
together as a single class. Holders of Momentum Common Stock are allowed one
vote for each share of Momentum Common Stock held by them. Subject to compliance
with securities laws, the Momentum Class B Common Stock is freely transferable.

<PAGE> 8
2. LOSS PER SHARE DATA
The Company's loss per share amounts are calculated in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". This
method requires calculation of both a basic loss per share and a diluted loss
per share. The basic loss per share excludes the dilutive effect of common stock
equivalents such as stock options and warrants, while the diluted loss per share
includes such dilutive effects. Although Momentum has 208,000 outstanding stock
options, they are not currently dilutive common stock equivalents and thus
diluted loss per share equals basic loss per share.
3. ARRANGEMENTS WITH PEOPLESOFT
In late December 1998, PeopleSoft contributed $250 million in cash to
Momentum. On December 31, 1998, PeopleSoft transferred 4,693,826 shares,
representing all of the outstanding shares, of Momentum Class A Common Stock
(the "Momentum Shares"), to a custodian who distributed the shares to the
holders of PeopleSoft common stock in mid January 1999 (the "Distribution").
Momentum Shares are traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol
"MMTM". PeopleSoft continues to hold all 1,000 shares of the Momentum Class B
Common Stock. In connection with PeopleSoft's contribution to Momentum and the
distribution of Momentum Shares, Momentum and PeopleSoft entered into a number
of agreements, including a Development Agreement, Marketing and Distribution
Agreement and a Services Agreement, all of which are discussed below.
Momentum and PeopleSoft have entered into a Development Agreement pursuant
to which PeopleSoft conducts product development and related activities on
behalf of Momentum under work plans and cost estimates which have been proposed
by PeopleSoft and approved by Momentum. Momentum is required to utilize the cash
initially contributed to Momentum by PeopleSoft plus interest earned thereon,
less administrative expenses and reserves of up to $2 million (the "Available
Funds") to conduct activities under the Development Agreement. It is expected
that the products to be developed under the Development Agreement will include
electronic business applications ("e-commerce"), analytic applications, and
industry specific applications. PeopleSoft has granted to Momentum a perpetual,
worldwide, non-exclusive license to use certain of PeopleSoft's proprietary
technology solely for internal use in conjunction with the Development
Agreement.
Under the terms of the Marketing and Distribution Agreement entered into by
Momentum and PeopleSoft, Momentum has granted PeopleSoft an option to acquire a
license to each product developed under the Development Agreement. The license
option for any such Momentum product is exercisable on a world-wide, exclusive
basis at any time from the date Momentum agrees to develop the product until the
earlier of a) thirty days after the product becomes Generally Available (as
defined in the agreements); or b) the expiration of the purchase option. The
license option will expire, to the extent not previously exercised, 30 days
after the expiration of PeopleSoft's option to purchase all of the outstanding
Momentum Shares as described below. If and to the extent the license option is
exercised as to any Momentum product, PeopleSoft will acquire a perpetual,
exclusive license (with the right to sublicense) to develop, make, have made and
use the licensed product, and to sell and have sold the licensed product. Upon
exercising the license option, PeopleSoft will assume responsibility for all
ongoing development and sustaining engineering expenses for the related product.
Under the License Agreement for each licensed product, PeopleSoft will make
payments to Momentum with respect to the licensed product by multiplying a
formula derived royalty rate by the quarterly net sales of the licensed product
achieved by PeopleSoft and its sublicensees, distributors and marketing
partners. The royalty rate is determined for each licensed product by taking the
sum of 0.1 percent plus an additional 0.1 percent for each full $1 million of
development costs of the licensed product that have been paid by Momentum, up to
a maximum 6 percent royalty. PeopleSoft has the right to buyout Momentum's right
to receive payments for individual licensed products in accordance with a
formula set forth in the Marketing and Distribution Agreement.
Under the terms of the Services Agreement, PeopleSoft provides office
facilities for and performs accounting, finance, human resources, information
systems and legal services on behalf of, Momentum. PeopleSoft receives $100,000
per quarter as compensation for the provision of these services.
Pursuant to Momentum's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, PeopleSoft
has the right to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Momentum Shares
(the "Purchase Option"). The Purchase Option will be exercisable by written
notice to Momentum at any time until December 31, 2002, provided that such date
will be extended for successive six month periods if, as of any June 30 or
December 31 beginning with June 30, 2002, Momentum has not paid (or accrued
expenses) for all but $15 million of Available Funds as of such date. In any
event, the Purchase Option will terminate on the 60th day after Momentum
provides PeopleSoft with a statement that, as of the end of any calendar month,
there are less than $2.5 million of Available Funds remaining.
8
<PAGE> 9
Except in instances in which Momentum's liabilities exceed its assets, if
the purchase option is exercised, the exercise price will be the greatest of:
(1) 15 times the sum of (i) the actual worldwide payments made by or due from
PeopleSoft to Momentum with respect to all Licensed Products and Developed
Technology for the four calendar quarters immediately preceding the quarter
in which the Purchase Option is exercised (the "Base Period"); plus (ii)
such payments as would have been made during the Base Period by, or due
from, PeopleSoft to Momentum if PeopleSoft had not previously exercised its
Product Payment Buy-Out Option with respect to any Momentum Product (for
purposes of the calculations in (i) and (ii), payments will be annualized
for any product that has not been a Licensed Product for all of each of the
four calendar quarters in the Base Period);
minus any amounts previously paid to exercise any Product Payment Buy-Out
Option for such Momentum Product;
(2) the fair market value of six hundred thousand (600,000) shares of
PeopleSoft Common Stock, adjusted in the event of a stock split or
dividend, as of the date PeopleSoft exercises its Purchase Option;
(3) three hundred million dollars ($300,000,000) plus any additional funds
contributed to Momentum by PeopleSoft, less the aggregate of all amounts
paid or incurred to develop the Momentum Products or pursuant to the
Services Agreement as of the date the Purchase Option is exercised; or
(4) seventy-five million dollars ($75,000,000).
In the event Momentum's liabilities (other than liabilities under the
Development Agreement, the Marketing Agreement and the Services Agreement)
exceed Momentum's assets, the Purchase Option Exercise Price described above
will be reduced by the amount such liabilities at the time of exercise are in
excess of Momentum's cash and cash equivalents, and short term and long term
investments. The Purchase Option exercise price is payable in cash.
ITEM 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contains descriptions of the Company's expectations regarding future
trends affecting its business. These forward-looking statements and other
forward-looking statements made elsewhere in this document are made in reliance
upon safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. The following discussion sets forth certain factors the Company believes
could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to, those items identified with a footnote (1) symbol. The Company
undertakes no obligation to update the information contained herein.
Results of Operations
Revenues, consisting entirely of royalty revenue from PeopleSoft, was
approximately $1.4 and $1.7 million for the three and six month periods ended
October 31, 2000, respectively compared with no revenues in the corresponding
periods of the prior year. Momentum has realized royalty revenues for the past
four consecutive quarters as a result of the shipment of several Momentum
Products developed under the Development Agreement. During the month of
September 2000, PeopleSoft commenced shipments of PeopleSoft 8, a family of pure
internet eBusiness software products that encompasses a new version of
PeopleSoft's previously existing commercial enterprise products, and
approximately 60 new application products, a substantial number of which have
been, and/or are being developed under various Momentum projects. Specifically,
initial shipments of the following Momentum products occurred during the third
calendar quarter of 2000: Time and Labor, Stock Administration, Deductions,
Contracts, eProcurement, Resource Management and others. New Analytic
Application modules and workbench products being developed under Momentum's
Enterprise Performance Management ("EPM") project as well as previously released
EPM products accounted for approximately half of the royalty revenue for the
second fiscal quarter. Under the terms of PeopleSoft's Marketing Agreement with
Momentum for products that have not yet reached a generally available status,
the applicable royalty rate was 6% of net sales. Following PeopleSoft's exercise
of its license option for a product, Momentum will earn a royalty for each
product licensed by PeopleSoft, or another distributor, based on a contractually
determined royalty rate which is a function of the amount of development costs
incurred on each
9
<PAGE> 10
developed product. (See Note 3 -- "Marketing and Distribution Agreement"). In
some cases, this will cause the applicable royalty rate to drop to as little as
1.2%. There can be no assurance that Momentum will continue to realize
significant royalty revenues from its development efforts.(1)
Cost of revenues consists entirely of amortization of capitalized
development costs of software developed for sale under SFAS 86. (See Note 1 --
"Capitalized Software"). Cost of revenues for the three and six months ended
October 31, 2000 were approximately $0.2 million.
The Company incurred development expenses of approximately $36.6 million
and $67.1 million for the three month and six month periods ended October 31,
2000, respectively, compared to $9.6 million and $14.6 million for the
respective periods ended October 31, 1999. These expenses were incurred
primarily under the Development Agreement. Under this agreement, Momentum can
engage PeopleSoft to perform research and development work, and PeopleSoft will
charge Momentum 110% of its fully burdened cost of performing such activities.
Fully burdened costs include salary, benefits and overhead allocations, but do
not include certain other costs, such as the human resources costs associated
with recruiting development personnel and other indirect costs and expenses of
establishing and maintaining a development environment. Momentum also incurs
certain direct costs associated with developing its products that may include
payments to other third parties for development, royalties, or costs associated
with acquiring or investing in complementary companies, products or technology.
The substantial increase in development expenditures in the current year was
driven by four factors i) the addition of new projects to Momentum's development
project portfolio, ii) certain expenses associated with product translation and
non-recurring release management and testing activities which were incurred in
advance of PeopleSoft 8 initial shipments of Momentum Products, iii) increases
in project staffing and the associated expense run rates on several previously
committed projects, and iv) the funding of retroactive project costs on certain
of the projects recently undertaken by Momentum. The quarterly rate of
development expenditures is not expected to increase significantly in the
quarter ending January 31, 2001, and will begin to decline thereafter as a
number of development projects are concluded.(1)
General and administrative expenses were approximately $0.3 million for the
quarters ended October 31, 2000 and 1999 and $0.6 million and $0.7 million for
the six month periods ended October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Under the
Services Agreement, PeopleSoft provides Momentum certain administrative services
including accounting, finance, human resources and legal services, and maintains
office facilities for Momentum. Momentum pays PeopleSoft a fee of $100,000 per
quarter for such services. The amount of this fee was determined using
PeopleSoft's internal projections of the incremental costs that it would incur
to provide these services to Momentum. Momentum is required to separately pay
for direct costs such as professional services, insurance, taxes, director and
officer compensation, and regulatory fees. It is anticipated that general and
administrative expenses will remain at approximately current levels during
Fiscal 2001.(1)
Because of the restrictions on the use of Available Funds under the
Development Agreement, Momentum is not expected, for the indefinite future, to
spend any funds on sales, marketing, or distribution activities. As such, it
will not be able to effectively establish a brand, corporate image or identity
in the overall marketplace. Such anonymity may make it more difficult for
Momentum to pursue alternate exit strategies, should PeopleSoft not exercise its
purchase option in the future.
Interest and investment income earned on invested funds were approximately
$2.8 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2000 as compared with
approximately $3.2 million for the quarter ended October 31, 1999. As Momentum's
Available Funds are used under the Development Agreement and the Services
Agreement, lower cash balances will be available for investment and therefore
interest and investment income is expected to decrease.(1)
The results of operations of Momentum currently reflect primarily
development expenses related to development of Momentum products and interest
and investment income earned on the funds contributed by PeopleSoft. Momentum's
net loss was approximately ($32.8) million or ($7.00) per share for the quarter
ended October 31, 2000 as compared with a net loss of approximately ($6.8)
million or ($1.45) per share for the quarter ended October 31, 1999. The Company
is expected to record significant net losses in future periods, as product
development expenses under its agreements with PeopleSoft are expected to
continue to exceed income.(1)

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Momentum was formed on November 9, 1998. PeopleSoft contributed a total of
$250 million in cash to Momentum in late December 1998 prior to the
Distribution. PeopleSoft's contribution (together with interest earned thereon)
is expected to fund research and development activities for approximately three
to four years.(1) Momentum's funds are expected to be used primarily to fund
activities to be conducted under the Development Agreement with PeopleSoft.
Momentum expects to engage PeopleSoft or other third parties to perform the
development activities on Momentum's behalf. Momentum is not expected to require
significant facilities or capital equipment of its own during the term of the
Development Agreement. At October 31, 2000, cash and cash equivalents were
approximately $143.9 million of which approximately $143.1 million are
restricted for use under the Development Agreement and consist primarily of
investments in money market funds with maturities of three months or less (See
Note 3 -- "Development Agreement").
In addition to the Available Funds, Momentum generates additional funds
through successfully licensing its products to PeopleSoft or other parties.
Momentum also has the option to obtain additional financing through either debt
or equity financing, as long as the terms of such financings do not alter
PeopleSoft's rights as a Class B Common Stock holder. Funds raised through
licensing of products or financings are not considered Available Funds and thus
their use by Momentum is not restricted by PeopleSoft. During the quarter ended
October 31, 2000, the Company earned approximately $1.4 million in royalties
from the licensing of products developed under the Development Agreement,
however, the actual payment for such royalties was not due until after the
quarter end. Such funds, upon their receipt, shall be without restriction as to
their use.
There can be no assurances, particularly given the existence of the
Development Agreement, the Marketing Agreement and the Services Agreement, that
Momentum will be able to raise any additional capital. Such additional capital,
if raised, would most likely reduce the per share proceeds available to holders
of the Momentum Class A Common Stock if the Purchase Option were to be exercised
by PeopleSoft. (See Note 3 -- "Purchase Option").
During the quarter ended October 31, 2000, Momentum and PeopleSoft agreed
to collaborate on a significant eBusiness project to develop a suite of
Collaborative Human Resource Applications, and a suite of Collaborative Supply
Chain Management Applications. Currently, Momentum has committed approximately
$240 million of Available Funds of which approximately $124 million has been
spent through October 31, 2000. The committed funds are allocated as follows: i)
approximately $50 million for the development of a suite of Analytic
applications, ii) approximately $124 million for new e-Business application
development projects, iii) approximately $51 million for industry specific
applications, and iv) approximately $15 million for two technology development
and acquisition projects. Based on the projects committed to date and their
associated current staffing levels, Momentum presently has an estimated
quarterly development expenditure run rate of approximately $35 million.
However, such run rate is subject to rapid change due to a variety of factors
including changes in project stages, the addition of new projects or termination
of existing projects, and increases or decreases in the level of resources
assigned to each respective project. In particular, the spending on several
projects is scheduled to conclude at the end of the fourth calendar quarter of
2000. Based on the current spending projections, the Available Funds are
expected to be substantially exhausted by December 2001.(1)
Risks and Uncertainties
Momentum's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in
these forward-looking statements due to certain factors. Such risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to the following:
o Momentum may not successfully select or develop a significant number of
products. The development projects referenced herein are characterized by
many inherent risks, including but not limited to 1) it may be difficult to
staff such projects with qualified development personnel who have
sufficient domain expertise, 2) existing PeopleSoft technology may not be
suitable as a foundation for the application software functionality, 3)
development efforts in general are complex, and such complexities create a
risk that the products may not be technologically feasible, and 4)
constantly changing and evolving customer demands for products and product
functionality may cause products to meet with limited market acceptance.
Consequently, such development efforts may not be successful or result in a
product that is accepted by the market.

o Demand for Momentum's products may be highly sensitive to time to market
and/or first mover advantages. Any material delays in the development
project schedule may adversely affect demand for the product, even if the
development project is otherwise successfully completed. Furthermore,
competitors of PeopleSoft, and even PeopleSoft, may offer products that
compete directly with Momentum's products. Weakness in demand for product
will translate into limited royalty income to Momentum, associated limited
product payment buy out proceeds, if any, and may ultimately reduce
PeopleSoft's interest in exercising its purchase option.
o Momentum and PeopleSoft are parties to various agreements which limit
Momentum's ability to take certain actions, establish alternate channels of
distribution for its products, and use funds for purposes other than
designated product development and administrative activities. Consequently,
Momentum has few degrees of freedom with which to generate revenues or
otherwise commercialize developed technology or products should PeopleSoft
elect not to utilize some or all of the developed products.
o Momentum or PeopleSoft may cancel a development project at anytime and for
any reason or no reason at all. Accordingly, it is possible that Momentum
could incur significant expenditures toward the development of a particular
product, only to have the project cancelled in the later stages of the
schedule. There is no recourse to PeopleSoft in the event of this
occurrence.
o If Momentum were not successful with a number of development projects,
PeopleSoft would be unlikely to exercise its option to purchase the stock
of Momentum. Even if Momentum is successful in developing certain products,
PeopleSoft may not exercise its option to purchase the Common Stock of
Momentum. For example, PeopleSoft has the right to buy out the ownership of
selected products under its product royalty buy out rights. Consequently,
it could purchase the rights to certain products, thereby obviating any
need to exercise the purchase option on the Company's Common Stock.
o Royalty results for the second quarter are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected going forward. The royalty rate applicable to the
licensing activity through the second fiscal quarter was six percent, which
is the contractual rate for products licensed to customers prior to
PeopleSoft's exercise of its license option on a product. Subsequent to any
exercise of a license option, the royalty rate for the subject product will
revert to a formula based rate, which may be substantially less than six
percent, and which in no case can exceed six percent. The recent successful
release of products which have generated these royalties should not be
construed to provide any assurance that additional products will be
successfully developed, or that development successes will result in
additional royalties, or that PeopleSoft will exercise any license options.
Other risks which are detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, the December 31, 1998
Second Amendment to the Information Statement (Form 10) and the 2000 Annual
Report to Shareholders (Form 10-K) filed July 28, 2000.
