ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS (AS PREVIOUSLY STATED IN FORM 8-K
FILED ON APRIL 12, 1996)

         On March 28, 1996, Quarterdeck Corporation (the "Company") consummated
the acquisition of Datastorm Technologies, Inc. ("Datastorm"), pursuant to the
terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of March 28, 1996
(the "Reorganization Agreement"), by and among the Company, DTI Acquisition
Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Acquisition Sub"),
Datastorm and the shareholders of Datastorm (the "Shareholders"). The
acquisition of Datastorm was effectuated by way of a merger (the "Merger") of
Acquisition Sub with and into Datastorm. As a result of the merger, Datastorm
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The merger is being treated as
a "pooling of interests" for accounting purposes. Pursuant to the Reorganization
Agreement, the Shareholders received an aggregate of 5,200,000 shares (the
"shares") of common stock, $.001 par value of the Company ("Quarterdeck Common
Stock"). Pursuant to the terms of the Reorganization Agreement and the Escrow
Agreement, dated as of March 28, 1996, by and among the Company, American Stock
Transfer and Trust Company, as Escrow Agent, Acquisition Sub and the
Shareholders, 520,000 of the Shares were placed in escrow to satisfy potential
indemnification obligations of the Shareholders under the Reorganization
Agreement.

         The Shares were issued pursuant to an exemption under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. In connection with the Merger, the Company and the
Shareholders entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of March 28,
1996, by and among the Company and the Shareholders, pursuant to which the
Shareholders are entitled to certain registration rights with respect to the
Shares. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to
file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission by
April 28, 1996 to register the resale of up to 50% of the Shares, and to keep
such registration statement effective through March 28, 1997.

         Datastorm develops and publishes a data communications package called
Procomm Plus which runs on personal computers utilizing Microsoft Windows 95 and
3.1. Datastorm's product includes an integrated fax package, a Winsock-compliant
TCP/IP stack and a complete set of graphical applications for accessing the
Internet, all of which are designed to enable the user to more effectively and
efficiently communicate with users at other computer sites.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of
DATASTORM Technologies, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of DATASTORM Technologies, Inc.
(a Missouri corporation) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
statements of income and changes in retained earnings, and cash flows for the
years then ended. These financial statements and the schedule referred to below
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of DATASTORM Technologies, Inc.,
as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying Schedule of Operating
Expenses and Other Income is presented for purposes of additional analysis and
is not a required part of the basic financial statements. This information has
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic
financial statements, and in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:

DATASTORM Technologies, Inc. (the Company) is a Missouri S Corporation. The
Company's products include communications software and related manuals. The
software and manuals are reproduced by unrelated companies and are packaged by
the Company at its facility in Columbia, Missouri. The Company sells its
products to major software distributors for resale through software dealers
throughout the world. In 1995 and 1994, sales to two distributors accounted for
approximately 74% and 82%, respectively, of total net sales.

Periodically, the Company introduces major new products and enhancements of
existing products that can have a significant impact on the Company's net sales.
In February 1996, the Company introduced a major new product PROCOMM PLUS for
Windows 3.0.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash on hand and deposits in commercial banks or brokerage
houses to be cash and cash equivalents.

Marketable Securities

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," on
January 1, 1994. All of the Company's marketable securities are classified as
"available for sale" and are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains and
losses reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

The amortized cost of available-for-sale debt securities are adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such
amortization is included in other income (expense). Realized gains and losses
are included in other income (expense). The cost of securities sold is based on
the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on securities
classified as available-for-sale are included in other income.

Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of software and manuals for resale and shipping
materials, and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.

Equipment

Equipment is carried at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using
both accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives,
generally ranging from three to seven years.

Income Taxes

The Company is an S corporation and files its income tax return on an accrual
basis. As an S corporation, taxable income flows through to the owners of the
Company; and, therefore, no provision for income taxes is provided.

                                      - 2 -

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of software products upon shipment.
Revenue from technical support agreements bundled with the initial licensing fee
is deferred until the period in which the related services are provided. Certain
limited rights of return from customers exist. Sales returns are recorded as
reductions to net sales and totaled $1,951,893 in 1995 and $999,586 in 1994.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications were made to the 1994 financial statements to conform
to the 1995 presentation.

                        INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors of
Datastorm Technologies, Inc.
Columbia, Missouri

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Datastorm Technologies, Inc.
as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of income,
retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of Datastorm Technologies, Inc.'s management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Datastorm Technologies, Inc.,
as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying information on page 12
is presented for purposes of analysis and is not necessary for a fair
presentation of the basic financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.  The accompanying information has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements, and in our opinion, is stated fairly in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Note 7.      Profit Sharing Plan

             Employees of the Company participate in the Datastorm
             Technologies, Inc., Integrated Profit Sharing Plan and Trust (the
             Plan).  Annually, the Company contributes to the Plan an amount
             determined by the Board at its discretion.  Profit sharing expense
             totalled $429,240 and $352,006, for the years ended December 31,
             1993 and 1992, respectively.

             To participate in the Plan, an employee must complete 1,000 hours
             of service during a Plan year, attain age 20 1/2 and be employed
             by the Company on the last day of the Plan year.  An employee -
             participant may (but is not required to) contribute to the Plan.

             The Plan is an integrated profit sharing plan, which means the
             Plan takes into account contributions the Employer makes for
             employees under the Federal Social Security Act in making Employer
             contribution allocations.  For each plan year the Employer
             contributes to the Plan, the Trustees will allocate this
             contribution to the separate accounts maintained for participants.

             Participants prior to September 1, 1989 became 100% vested in
             their account balance after two years of service.  Participants
             joining the plan after September 1, 1989 become 100% vested after
             six years of service.  Regardless of length of service a
             participant becomes 100% vested in his/her account balance when
             separating employment on or after normal retirement age, upon
             permanent disability, or upon death.

                          DATASTORM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
          UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combining Balance Sheet as
of September 30, 1995 and the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combining Statements
of Operations for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, have
been prepared giving effect to the acquisition of Datastorm Technologies, Inc.
("Datastorm") by Quarterdeck Corporation ("Quarterdeck"). On March 28, 1996,
Quarterdeck acquired 100% of the common stock of Datastorm in exchange for
5,200,000 shares of Quarterdeck Common Stock. This transaction has been
accounted for as a pooling of interests, and, as a result, the unaudited pro
forma condensed combining financial statements are presented as if the combining
companies had been combined for all periods presented.

         Datastorm had a calendar year end and accordingly, the Datastorm
Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993
have been combined with the Quarterdeck Statements of Operations for the
fiscal years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993.

         The Datastorm historical amounts included in the accompanying unaudited
pro forma condensed combining financial statements include the results of
operations, for the year ended December 31, 1995 and financial position as of
December 31, 1995, of an entity under common control with Datastorm which was
acquired as part of the Datastorm acquisition, Datastorm Technologies Limited, a
registered United Kingdom Company. Intercompany transactions have been
eliminated in the consolidation of Datastorm. The results from this entity are
immaterial for all periods prior to January 1, 1995 and are, therefore, not
included. Certain other amounts have been reclassified to provide consistent
presentation.

         The historical financial statements of Quarterdeck as of September 30,
1995, and for each of the years in the three year period then ended, reflect 
the acquisition and pooling with Inset Systems, Inc. ("Inset") as reported
in the Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 11, 1996.

           COMBINING BALANCE SHEETS AND UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
                       COMBINING STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S>      <C>
1.       These unaudited pro forma condensed combining balance sheet and
         statements of operations reflect the financial position and results of
         operations of Quarterdeck Corporation ("Quarterdeck") and Datastorm
         Technologies, Inc. The financial position and results of operation of
         Datastorm Technologies Ltd. are included for the year ended and as of
         September 30, 1995.

2.       The pro forma condensed combining statements of operations of
         Quarterdeck and Datastorm were prepared as if the acquisition occurred
         as of the beginning of the periods presented and are not necessarily
         indicative of operating results which would have been achieved had the
         acquisition been consummated at the beginning of such period and should
         not be construed as representative of future operations.

3.       The pro forma condensed combining financial statements should be read
         in conjunction with the 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K of Quarterdeck,
         the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Quarterdeck for the period ended
         March 31, 1996, the current report on Form 8-K regarding Quarterdeck's
         acquisition of Datastorm filed with the Securities and Exchange
         Commission on April 12, 1996 and the audited financial statements of
         Datastorm included in this Form 8-K filing.

         On March 28, 1996, Quarterdeck acquired Datastorm in exchange for
         5,200,000 shares of Quarterdeck common stock in a transaction which was
         accounted for as a pooling of interests. Accordingly, all financial
         information has been restated to reflect the combined operations of
         Datastorm and Quarterdeck. Due to differing year ends of Datastorm and
         Quarterdeck, financial information related to Datastorm's fiscal years
         ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were combined with financial
         information related to Quarterdeck's fiscal years ended September 30,
         1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

4.       Adjustments have been made to reflect the exchange of Datastorm's
         common stock for Quarterdeck common stock.

5.       Certain adjustments and reclassifications have been made to the
         Datastorm financial statements in the unaudited pro forma condensed
         combining financial statements to conform to Quarterdeck presentation
         and to reflect the reclassification of undistributed earnings of
         Datastorm to additional paid in capital upon termination of Datastorm's
         S corporation status. These reclassifications and adjustments have been
         made to all periods presented.

         Other pro forma adjustments include the reclassification of the note 
         receivable from related party from current to long term and the 
         reclassification of the Loan payable to affiliate from long term to 
         current. The note receivable from related party represents advances 
         made by Datastorm, prior to being acquired by Quarterdeck, to a 
         partnership, whose partners were Datastorm shareholders, which the 
         partnership used to commence the construction of a new building which 
         is planned to house Datastorm. At March 31, 1996 the partnership 
         still owned the building and the partners are now shareholders and 
         employees or consultants of Quarterdeck. In connection with the 
         acquisition, the Company is obligated to acquire the building from 
         the partnership. The Company plans to complete the acquisition of 
         the building in the near future. It is planned to be acquired in 
         exchange for, among other things, cancellation of the Note receivable.
         The Loan payable to affiliate represents sales commissions due from 
         Datastorm to a related party which were paid in entirety prior to 
         March 31, 1996.                  
         
6.       In order to conform to evolving financial reporting practices by the
         software industry, Quarterdeck is reporting revised statements of
         operations for the periods presented classifying the amortization of
         capitalized software costs and technical support costs as costs of
         revenues for all periods presented. Quarterdeck had previously reported
         amortization of capitalized software as research and development
         expense, and technical support costs as sales and marketing expense.

7.       The Company recorded acquisition and related restructuring costs
         amounting to $7.3 million for financial advisory, legal, accounting
         services, personnel severance and benefits, and other related expenses
         in connection with the acquisitions of Datastorm and Inset. These
         costs have been reflected in the condensed statements of operations 
         and balance sheets of the combined companies for the period ended 
         March 31, 1996 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
         on May 15, 1996.

8.       The additional unaudited pro forma data is based upon historical
         combined income before taxes adjusted to reflect a provision for income
         taxes as if Datastorm had been a C corporation for all periods 
         presented.
