                        Report of Independent Auditors


The Board of Directors
Texas Instruments Incorporated

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets to be acquired and
liabilities to be assumed of the Software Business of Texas Instruments
Incorporated (the "Software Business" as defined in Note 1) as of December 31,
1996, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
management of Texas Instruments Incorporated. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed
of the Software Business at December 31, 1996, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                         Notes to Financial Statements


1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Texas Instruments Incorporated ("TI") and Sterling Software Inc. (the "Buyer")
entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") on April 18, 1997
under which, on the contractually designated closing date, the Buyer will
acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of the Texas Instruments
Software Division and TI's non-U.S. Assigning Subsidiaries (as defined in the
Agreement), and the Buyer will acquire all issued and outstanding shares of
capital stock in TI's non-U.S. Transferred Subsidiaries (as defined in the
Agreement) (such division and subsidiaries of TI together are referred to as the
"Software Business").  The financial statements present the assets to be
acquired and liabilities to be assumed and results of operations and cash flows
of the Software Business based upon the structure of the transaction as
described in the Agreement, and this transaction is herein referred to as the
Acquisition.

The financial statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows as if the Software
Business had operated as a stand-alone company. The financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which
require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements.  Actual results could differ from those
estimates.  The statements of income and cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996, and the statement of assets to be acquired and
liabilities to be assumed at March 31, 1997, are not audited but reflect all
adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to a fair statement of the results of the periods shown.
Intercompany balances and transactions within the Software Business have been
eliminated.

The Software Business engages in the design, development, marketing, sale,
licensing, and maintenance of applications development software, and it provides
related consulting services.  The principal markets served include large
corporations and certain governmental agencies, primarily located in the United
States, Europe, and Asia.

TI provides various services to the Software Business including, but not limited
to, facilities management, data processing, security, payroll and employee
benefits administration, insurance administration, duplicating and
telecommunications services.  TI allocates these expenses and all other central
operating costs, first on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the
remainder allocated among TI's businesses on the basis of their respective
revenues, headcount, or other measures.  In the opinion of management

                                                                               7

                         Notes to Financial Statements

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

of TI, these methods of allocating costs are reasonable.  These expenses totaled
$23.5 million in 1996 and $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31,
1997.  See also Note 5 for occupancy charges included in these expenses.

The Software Business participates in a centralized cash management system
wherein cash receipts are transferred to and cash disbursements are funded by
TI.   Since cash and cash equivalents related to the Software Business
operations will not be acquired by the Buyer, they are excluded from the
statements of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed.
 
Revenue

Revenue from license fees for standard software products is recognized when the
software is delivered, provided no significant future vendor obligations exist
and collection is probable.  Service revenue is recognized as the services are
performed.

Product support contracts entitle the customer to telephone support, bug fixing
and the right to receive software updates as they are released.  Revenue from
product support contracts, including product support included in initial license
fees, is recognized ratably over the contract period.  All significant costs and
expenses associated with product support contracts are expensed as incurred.
Such costs are generally incurred ratably over the contract period.

If sales contracts include the right to receive future products, a portion of
the software product revenue is deferred and recognized as products are
delivered.

When products, product support, and services are billed prior to the time the
related revenue is recognized, deferred revenue is recorded and related costs
paid in advance are deferred.

In 1996, sales directly to agencies of the U.S. Government comprised
approximately 13% of total revenues.

                                                                               8

Software Development Costs

The Software Business capitalizes the costs of developing and testing new or
significantly enhanced software products in accordance with the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed."   Research and
development costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation and Amortization

Equipment is depreciated primarily using the 150% declining balance method over
five years.  Fully depreciated assets are written off against accumulated
depreciation.  Capitalized software development costs are amortized on a
product-by-product basis using the straight-line method over three years.
Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line basis over 15 years, and other
intangibles are amortized using the straight-line basis over 4 to 15 years.

Depreciation and amortization consists of the following for the year ended
December 31, 1996 (in thousands of dollars):

Income Taxes

The operations of the Software Business are included in the consolidated income
tax returns of TI.  Pursuant to the Agreement, TI will retain substantially all
income tax liabilities and rights to all tax refunds relating to operations
prior to the closing date of the Acquisition. Accordingly, the statements of
assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed do not reflect current or
prior period income tax receivables or payables. The income tax provisions
included in the statements of operations have been determined as if the Software
Business were a separate taxpayer.

                                                                               9

Foreign Currency Translation

The assets and liabilities of non-U.S. operations are translated into U.S.
dollars at exchange rates in effect as of the respective balance sheet dates.
Revenue and expense accounts of these operations are translated at average
exchange rates prevailing during the period the transactions occur.

</TABLE>

Goodwill and other intangibles are associated with the acquisition of JMA
Information Engineering Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively "JMA") in
1991.  The total cost for acquiring JMA was $47.6 million.  Amounts assigned to
other intangibles recorded at acquisition were based on appraised values.
During the first quarter of 1997, the Software Business disposed of three
European subsidiaries originally acquired under the JMA transaction.  A charge
of $4.3 million was taken to write off goodwill and other intangibles associated
with these subsidiaries.

                                                                              10

4. RISK CONCENTRATION

Financial instruments which subject the Software Business to concentrations of
credit risk primarily relate to accounts receivable.  Contracts involving the
U.S. Government do not require collateral or other security.  The Software
Business conducts ongoing credit evaluations of domestic non-U.S. Government
customers and generally does not require collateral or other security from these
customers.  The Software Business generally requires international customers to
furnish letters of credit or make advance payments in amounts sufficient to
limit the Software Business' credit risk to a minimal level.  Historically, the
Software Business has not incurred any significant credit-related losses.

5.  RENTAL EXPENSE AND LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Software Business occupies various facilities which are either owned or
leased by TI. The statement of income includes occupancy charges from TI of
$11.1 million in 1996 and $1.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively, for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.  These charges include depreciation,
rent, and taxes (as applicable) incurred by TI and allocated to the Software
Business based on the square footage of facilities occupied.  The occupancy
charges historically allocated to the Software Business do not necessarily
represent current market rates to lease such facilities.  TI will execute lease
agreements with the Buyer at agreed-upon rates in connection with TI-owned
facilities that will be utilized by the Buyer after the Acquisition is
completed.

                                                                              11

5.  RENTAL EXPENSE AND LEASE COMMITMENTS (CONTINUED)

The Software Business also directly leases certain facilities and equipment from
third parties under operating leases, many of which contain renewal options and
escalation clauses.  Total rental expense on such operating leases amounted to
$1.1 million in 1996.  The following indicates minimum rental commitments in
succeeding years under these Software Business leases at December 31, 1996 (in
millions):  1997 -  $1.5;  1998 - $1.6;  1999 -  $1.5;  2000 - $1.3;  2001 -
$.9;  later years - $5.2.

In connection with the Acquisition, TI will assign to the Buyer certain non-
cancelable operating lease commitments with third parties.  The following
indicates minimum rental commitments in succeeding years under these TI leases
as of December 31, 1996 (in millions):  1997 -  $ 2.1;  1998 -  $2.1;  1999 -
$1.6;  2000 - $1.5;  2001 - $1.5;  later years - $6.4.

7.  RETIREMENT PLANS

The Software Business offers defined contribution pension plans to employees at
certain European subsidiaries.  Employer contributions are generally made to
such plans on a discretionary basis.  During 1996, the Software Business
incurred expenses of $2.8 million for contributions to these plans.

Employees of the Software Business also participate in certain defined benefit
pension plans and retiree health care benefit plans offered by TI.  The costs of
such plans attributed to the Software Business are included in the statements of
operations.  However, the liabilities for the plans are not reflected in the
statements of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed as the
Agreement stipulates that TI will retain such liabilities as of the closing date
of the Acquisition.

8. SPECIAL ACTIONS

Income before provision for income taxes for 1996 and the first quarter of 1997
include pretax charges of $3.2 million and $5.8 million, respectively, for
voluntary and involuntary severance actions. These actions affected
approximately 70 employees of the Software Business in each period. Under the
terms of the Agreement, only accrued severance liabilities as they pertain to
Transferred Subsidiaries will be assumed by the Buyer.

                                                                              13

         UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The Acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase business combination by
the Company.  The pro forma combined condensed financial statements are based on
the historical financial statements of the Company and TI Software.  This
exhibit to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K/A includes the following
unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements:  (i) Unaudited Pro
Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet of the Company and TI Software as of
March 31, 1997; (ii) Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of
Operations of the Company and TI Software for the six months ended March 31,

      NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   GENERAL

     The Acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase business combination by
     the Company. The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined condensed
     financial statements reflect an aggregate purchase price of approximately
     $214.8 million, consisting of cash paid to Texas Instruments plus costs
     directly related to the Acquisition as follows (in thousands):

             Other costs related to the
              Acquisition............................      5,596

                                                        ========
</TABLE>

     For purposes of the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined condensed
     balance sheet, the aggregate purchase price has been allocated to the net
     assets acquired, with the remainder recorded as excess cost over net assets
     acquired on the basis of preliminary estimates of fair values. These
     preliminary estimates of fair value were determined by the Company's
     management based primarily on information furnished by management of TI
     Software and an independent valuation of acquired software and research and
     development. The final allocation of the purchase price will be based on a
     complete evaluation of the assets and liabilities of TI Software.
     Accordingly, the information presented herein may differ from the final
     purchase price allocation.

     The Company also expects to incur costs of approximately $106.0 million
     primarily related to the reorganization of the Company's operations in
     connection with the Acquisition, including the write-down of certain
     software and excess cost over net assets acquired recorded in connection
     with previous acquisitions and, to a lesser extent, to the termination of
     the Company's International Distributor Agreement with a subsidiary of
     Sterling Commerce, Inc., as more fully described in Item 5 of the Company's
     Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 30, 1997, and the write-down of
     certain excess cost over net assets acquired related to the Company's
     federal systems business.

3.   UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of
     operations have been prepared as if the Acquisition was consummated as of
     October 1, 1995 and reflect the following pro forma adjustments:

     (a)  To eliminate nonrecurring restructuring costs and write-down of
          goodwill and other intangibles incurred by TI Software in periods
          prior to the Acquisition.
     (b)  To record amortization of software acquired in the Acquisition
          computed using the straight-line method over its remaining estimated
          economic life (five years), less the historical amortization related
          to certain software written down by the Company related to the
          reorganization of the Company's operations in connection with the
          Acquisition.
     (c)  To record amortization of excess cost over net assets acquired over
          ten years, less amortization related to certain excess cost over net
          assets acquired recorded in connection with previous acquisitions
          written down by the Company related to the reorganization of the
          Company's operations in connection with the Acquisition.
     (d)  To adjust the provision for income taxes to reflect the impact of the
          results of operations of the Acquisition and related pro forma
          adjustments.

4.   UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE DATA

     The unaudited pro forma combined primary earnings per common share data is
     computed by dividing pro forma combined income per share by the weighted
     average number of common shares and common share equivalents represented by
     stock options and warrants, if the exercise of such stock options and
     warrants would have a dilutive effect in the aggregate. For purposes of
     this computation, pro forma combined income applicable to common
     stockholders is adjusted to reflect the assumed use of net cash proceeds on
     the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants treated as common share
     equivalents to purchase outstanding long term debt or government
     securities.

     The pro forma combined fully diluted earnings per common share data
     reflect, in addition to the foregoing, the assumed conversion of the
     Company's 5 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2003 into common
     shares, if such conversion would have a dilutive effect, including an
     adjustment to reflect the elimination of after-tax interest expense
     attributable to such debentures.
