ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

     On September 20, 2000, Accrue Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), acquired Aviator Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Target") and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including its wholly owned
subsidiary Pilot Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Pilot"), by the
statutory merger (the "Merger") of Aviator Acquisition Corp., a Delaware
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), with
and into Target. The Merger was accomplished pursuant to an Agreement and Plan
of Merger dated as of August 24, 2000, among the Company, Merger Sub, Target,
Pilot and the sole shareholder of Target (the "Merger Agreement"). As a result
of the Merger, the Company became the owner of 100% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Target's Common Stock in exchange for 974,273 shares of
the Company's Common Stock which will be issued to the sole stockholder of
Target.

     The shares issuable to Seller pursuant to the Merger Agreement will be
issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and, accordingly,
constitute "restricted securities" within the meaning of the Securities Act. The
Company has granted certain registration rights for the shares issued in
connection with the Merger.

     For accounting purposes, the Merger will be accounted for as a purchase.

     The number of shares of the Company's Common Stock to be issued to the sole
shareholder of Target was determined by arm's-length negotiations among the
parties.
