ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

        On March 14, 2000, E.piphany, Inc. ("E.piphany") entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of March 14, 2000 (the
"Reorganization Agreement"), by and among E.piphany, Orchid Acquisition
Corporation, a California Corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of E.piphany
("Sub") and Octane Software, Inc., a California Corporation ("Octane"). The
closing of the Merger pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement (the "Merger")
took place on May 31, 2000 and the Merger was consummated by the filing of an
Agreement of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of California. The
description contained in this Item 2 of the transactions contemplated by the
Reorganization Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of the Reorganization Agreement, a copy of which is incorporated by
reference hereto as Exhibit 2.1.

        Octane develops and markets customer care software called Internet
relationship management software. As a result of the Merger, Octane became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of E.piphany. The Merger was intended to be a tax-free
reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and was
intended to be accounted for as a purchase transaction.

        Under the terms of the Merger, 11,569,023 shares of E.piphany common
stock were exchanged for all outstanding shares of Octane stock, 1,193,907
shares of E.piphany common stock were set aside as a reserve for the assumption
of Octane options and 30,580 shares of E.piphany common stock were set aside as
a reserve for the assumption of Octane warrants. This consideration of
approximately 12.8 million shares was determined by arms-length negotiations.
Each share of Octane stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
closing of the merger was cancelled and converted automatically into a number of
shares of E.piphany common stock computed in accordance with the Reorganization
Agreement.

        The Reorganization Agreement provided that at the closing of the merger
each issued and outstanding option or right to purchase Octane stock, whether or
not exercisable, was assumed by E.piphany. Each stock option continued to have
the same terms and conditions as it had immediately prior to the closing of the
merger, except that the number of shares of E.piphany common stock into which it
was exercisable and its exercise price were adjusted according to the same
manner as the conversion of Octane stock into E.piphany common stock.

        In connection with the Merger, 1,279,351 shares of E.piphany's common
stock issuable in respect of the Octane stock at the closing of the Merger were
placed in escrow with U.S. Bank Trust, N.A. for up to twelve (12) months from
the date of the Merger. Each Octane shareholder was deemed to have contributed
into the escrow fund in proportion to the aggregate number of shares of
E.piphany common stock that such shareholder would otherwise have been entitled
under the Reorganization Agreement. The escrow fund will be available to
compensate E.piphany for any losses as a result of any inaccuracy in the
representations or warranties of Octane contained in the Reorganization
Agreement or any failure to comply with any covenant contained in the
Reorganization Agreement.

        On May 31, 2000, E.piphany issued a press release relating to the
closing of the Merger. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit
99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
