                      INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN REPORT


ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

       On August 31, 2000, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
as of August 29, 2000, by and among Informatica Corporation (the "Registrant"),
I-2 Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Merger Sub") and Zimba, a
privately held California corporation ("Zimba") (the "Agreement"), the
Registrant completed the merger of Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Registrant, with and into Zimba, with Zimba being the surviving corporation of
the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant. The
transaction closed on August 31, 2000 and is being accounted for as a purchase
transaction.

       As consideration for the transaction, the Registrant issued 250,669
shares of the Registrant's common stock, $0.001 par value, in exchange for the
outstanding shares of capital stock of Zimba, subject to the withholding of 10%
of such shares in escrow in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. At the
effective time of the merger, all outstanding options and warrants to purchase
shares of Zimba capital stock were automatically converted into options and
warrants to purchase the Registrant's common stock based upon the conversion
ratio set forth in the Agreement with corresponding adjustment to their
respective exercise prices.

       The Registrant currently intends that Zimba's business will continue to
be operated in its current manner. Certain of the assets of Zimba were used in
the development of applications that provide mobile professionals with real-time
access to corporate and external information through wireless devices, voice
recognition technology and the Internet, and the Registrant currently intends to
use such assets in substantially the same manner.

       The total value of consideration paid for the purchase transaction was
determined based on arm's length negotiations between the Registrant and Zimba,
which took into account Zimba's financial position, operating history, products,
intellectual property and other factors relating to Zimba's business and certain
income tax aspects of the transaction. There are no material relationships
between Zimba and either the Registrant or Merger Sub or any of their respective
affiliates or any director or officer of the Registrant or Merger Sub or any
affiliate of such director or officer.

ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

       The Registrant issued a press release dated August 29, 2000 (the "Press
Release") announcing the acquisition of Zimba as described in Item 2 above.

       The Press Release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 8-K
