     The following financial statements and exhibits are filed as part of this
report, where indicated.

     (a)        Financial statements of business acquired, prepared pursuant
                to rule 3.05 of Regulation S-X are included at Exhibit 3.1.
                Consolidated Financial Statements of Rational Software
                Corporation as of March 31, 1997 and 1996 and for the three
                years ended March 31, 1997 are included at Exhibit 99.2

     (b)        Pro forma financial information required pursuant to Article 11
                of Regulation S-X: 

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
assume a business combination between Rational and PAC accounted for using the
purchase method. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
statements are based on the historical financial statements of Rational and
PAC and should be read in conjunction with such historical statements and
notes thereto. The historical financial statements and notes thereto of
Rational are included in this Form 8-K/A, and the historical financial
statements and notes thereto of PAC, are also included in this Form 8-K/A. The
transaction is already reflected in the audited consolidated balance sheet of
Rational at March 31, 1997. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
statements of operations combine Rational's historical consolidated statements
of operations for the year ended March 31, 1997 with the year ended December
31, 1996 of PAC, respectively.

     The pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and 
is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position 
that would have occurred if the business combination had been consummated as 
presented in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial 
information, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results or 
financial position.

     These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and 
the related notes thereto of Rational and of PAC incorporated by reference and 
included herein, respectively.

     NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

1.  The pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year
    ended March 31, 1997 gives effect to the acquisition of Performance
    Awareness Corporation ("PAC") which was completed by Rational on March 31,
    1997 and accounted for using the purchase method. The aggregate purchase
    price (including direct acquisition costs) was approximately $32.9 million
    in cash as well as options assumed by Rational. The pro forma statement of
    operations gives effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on April 1,
    1996, accordingly the Company would have recorded approximately $3.1 million
    of amortization on purchased intangibles.

2.  There were no material transactions between Rational and PAC during any
    period presented. In addition, the impact of conforming accounting policies
    is not material.

The Board of Directors
Performance Awareness Corporation


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Performance
Awareness Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company'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 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 consolidated financial position of Performance 
Awareness Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the 
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles.

                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                       December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994



(1)    NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       Nature of Business
       ------------------

       Performance Awareness Corporation (the Company), develops, markets and
       supports Automated Software Quality products and related services that
       provide solutions for the global software testing market. Its primary
       customers are financial and telecommunications companies in the United
       States and Japan.

       Principles of Presentation and Preparation
       ------------------------------------------

       The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
       of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
       intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
       consolidation. All amounts are in the thousands, except share data.

       The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
       accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
       assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
       and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
       financial statements and reported amount of revenues and expenses during
       the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

       Revenue Recognition
       -------------------

       Revenue consists primarily of fees for licenses of the Company's software
       products, maintenance and customer support.

           License
           -------

           Revenue from the sale of software licenses is recognized upon
           shipment of the products, delivery of permanent authorization codes,
           and fulfillment of acceptance terms, if any, provided that no
           significant vendor and post-contract support obligations remain and
           collection of the related receivable is probable. Revenue related to
           post-contract support obligations is deferred at the time the license
           revenue is recognized. In instances where there is a contingency
           regarding the sale, revenue recognition is delayed until the
           contingency has been resolved. When the Company receives advance
           payment for software products, such payments are reported as deferred
           revenue until all conditions for revenue recognition are met.

           Services and Other Revenue
           --------------------------

           Maintenance revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the term
           of the maintenance agreement, which is typically twelve months.
           Revenue from customer training, support, and other services is
           recognized as the service is performed.

                 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                      December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company 
considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three 
months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 1996, excess cash 
balances were invested in overnight commercial paper.

Equipment, Furniture, and Fixtures

Equipment, furniture, and fixtures consist primarily of computer workstations 
and file servers for employees and are stated at cost net of accumulated 
depreciation of $819 and $631 as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. 
Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the related assets (generally three to five years). The cost and 
accumulated depreciation of property and equipment are removed from the 
accounts upon retirement or other disposition and any resulting gain or loss 
is reflected in operations.

Software Development Costs

Certain software development costs for new products and product enhancements 
are capitalized upon the establishment of technological feasibility, which is 
defined by the Company as the completion of a working model of the software. 
Capitalization of computer software development costs ceases, and amortization
begins, when the product is available for general release to customers. The 
ongoing assessment of the realizability of these costs requires considerable 
judgment related to anticipated future product revenues, estimated economic 
life, and changes in hardware and software technology. The amount of software 
development costs capitalized for the years 1996, 1995, and 1994 was $100, 
$165, and $0, respectively. Accumulated amortization of software development 
costs was $190 and $121 as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Amortization of software development costs is provided on a product-by-product
basis. Annual amortization is the greater of the amount computed using the 
ratio of current product revenue to the total of current and anticipated 
future product revenue or the straight-line method over the remaining 
estimated economic life of the product. All current products have estimated 
economic lives of three years. Amortization of software development costs for 
the years 1996, 1995, and 1994 was $69, $38, and $19, respectively. 
Amortization of software development costs is included in costs of software in
the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Costs incurred prior to 
the establishment of technological feasibility are charged to research and 
development expense as incurred.

                 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                      December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided under the asset and liability method, whereby 
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax 
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement 
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax 
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax 
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those 
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on 
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in 
income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances 
are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts 
expected to be realized. During 1996, the Company experienced net operating 
losses and established a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets 
relating to the resulting net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes 
due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of such assets.

Statement of Cash Flows

Interest of $45, $11, and $8 was paid in 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. 
Income taxes of $0, $85 and $236 were paid during 1996, 1995, and 1994, 
respectively. Acquisition of equipment under capital lease obligations was 
$552, $11, and $0 during 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. During 1996, the 
Company sold common stock to various employees and officers, and received 
notes receivable from these individuals totaling $611. During 1996, the 
liquidation preference and dividends of the preferred stock was accreted by 
$201.

Translation of Foreign Currencies

The Company's Japanese subsidiary considers the Japanese yen as its functional
currency. The assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiary are translated 
to U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate as of the balance sheet date. The
resulting translation adjustment is recorded as a separate component of 
stockholder's equity. Statement of operations items are translated at average 
rates of exchange during each reporting period. Resulting foreign exchange 
gains and losses, which have been insignificant, are included in the results 
of operations. The Company's other subsidiary is located in the United 
Kingdom. It's activities are insignificant to the consolidated financial 
statements.

     borrowings of up to $300 for working capital purposes based on a percentage
     of eligible receivables, as defined. Borrowings under the facility bore
     interest at the bank's prime rate plus 1/2% (8.75% and 9.00% at December
     31, 1996 and 1995, respectively), and are collateralized by the Company's
     accounts receivable. Outstanding borrowings under this line of credit were
     $5 and $30 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The loan agreement
     requires the Company to comply with certain financial covenants. Among
     other things, the Company is required to maintain a ratio of total
     liabilities to tangible net worth, as defined in the agreement, of not more
     than .75 to 1. As of December 31, 1996, the Company failed to comply with
     two covenants, for which the associated debt is included in current
     liabilities.

     During 1996, the Company entered into a $700 credit facility with a 
     commercial bank, which expired upon the closing of the preferred stock 
     investment discussed in note 4. This facility was collateralized by a deed 
     of trust on the principal shareholder's residence. Borrowings under the 
     facility bore interest at the bank's prime rate plus 1/2%.

(4)  Shareholders' Equity

     During May, 1996, the Company's Articles of Incorporation were amended to
     change the par value of the common stock from $1 to $0.01 per share and
     the number of authorized shares from 100,000 to 11,000,000. A stock split
     of 43,250 to 1 occurred in conjunction with this amendment. The effect of
     this stock split has been reflected retroactively for all periods
     presented. In addition, the Company was given authorization to issue
     4,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share.

     Preferred Stock

     During September, 1996, the Company sold 1,206,897 shares of Series A
     Convertible Preferred Stock resulting in net proceeds of $2,911, net of
     expenses of $89. The holder of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
     is entitled to cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 10% of their
     initial investment of $3,000. These dividends are payable upon either,
     (i) the closing of an initial public offering of the Company's stock,
     (ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company (iii) repurchase of the
     Series A Convertible Preferred Stock by the Company under the terms of
     the Stock Purchase Agreement, or (iv) a liquidation of the Company as
     defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement. In the event of any liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holder of the Series A
     Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to a liquidation preference equal
     to $6,000. These shares are redeemable at the option of the holder upon
     (i) the fifth anniversary of their issuance, (ii) the closing of an
     initial public offering of the Company's stock, (iii) the sale of the
     Company at a price of the greater of the fair market value of the shares
     or the historical cost of the investment plus a 12% return per annum, as
     defined, or (iv) violation of a material provision of the Stock Purchase
     Agreement.

     The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible on a one-for-one
     basis into 1,206,897 shares of common stock at the option of the holder.
     The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be automatically converted to
     common stock upon the closing of an initial public offering of the
     Company's stock as described in the Stock Purchase Agreement. The holders
     of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all
     matters with the holders of common stock on an as if converted basis.

     As of December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately $679 of net
     operating loss carryforwards, expiring in the year 2011, available to
     offset future federal income taxes. Due to the uncertainty related to the
     realization of the benefits of certain deferred tax assets, the Company
     has placed a valuation allowance against a portion of the otherwise
     recognizable net deferred tax asset at December 31, 1996.

     401(k) Plan

     The Company has a 401(k) retirement savings plan covering substantially
     all employees. The Company matches contributions in the plan at the
     discretion of the Board of Directors. Effective August 1, 1993, the Board
     of Directors authorized matching contributions up to 3% of participants'
     salaries, amounting to $53, $33 and $27 for 1996, 1995 and 1994,

(7)  HIGH TEST TRANSACTION

     In November, 1995, the Company purchased rights to High Test software from
     Vermont Creative Software (VCS). The purchase price of $100 was considered
     to be research and development costs and was charged to operations on the
     acquisition date. In addition, royalty payments based on the number of
     licenses sold by the Company are due to VCS. Minimum royalties of $150 must
     be paid by December 31, 1997, and maximum royalties are approximately $350.
     Minimum royalties of $150 were accrued and charged to research and
     development expense during 1995. Payments under this agreement are
     collateralized by the Company's accounts receivable. Payments under this
     agreement are collateralized by the Company's accounts receivable. Payments
     under this agreement were $9 and $0 during 1996 and 1995, respectively.
     Under this agreement, VCS has a nonexclusive nontransferable right to sell
     licenses of the software to end users, and must pay the Company a royalty.

     The Company maintains excess cash balances in a money market account with a
     federally insured financial institution and overnight commercial paper. At
     times, the aggregate total of deposits may be in excess of FDIC insurance
     limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in any of the
     instruments it has used for excess cash balances.

     To reduce credit risk, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of
     its customers' financial condition. The Company maintains reserves for
     potential credit losses, but historically has not experienced any
     significant losses related to individual customers or groups of customers
     in any geographic area. The Company's allowance for doubtful accounts was
     $223 and $8 as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. As of December
     31, 1996, one customer accounted for 29% of accounts receivable. As of
     December 31, 1995, a different customer accounted for 12% of accounts
     receivable.

(9)  BUSINESS SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

     The Company operates primarily in one business segment, comprising the 
     automated software quality testing industry.

               REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Rational Software Corporation
 
  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rational
Software Corporation as of March 31, 1996 and 1997, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, redeemable convertible preferred stock
and stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended March 31, 1997. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. In February
1997, the Company merged with SQA, Inc. in a transaction which was accounted
for as a pooling of interests. We did not audit the financial statements of
SQA, Inc. for the years prior to fiscal 1997, which statements reflect total
assets constituting 32% of the related 1996 consolidated financial statement
totals, and which statements reflect net income (loss) of approximately
($2,422,000) and $431,000 of related 1995 and 1996 consolidated financial
statement totals, respectively. Those statements were audited by other
auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it
relates to data included for SQA, Inc. is based solely on the report of the
other auditors.
 
  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 and the report of other
auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors,
the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Rational Software
Corporation at March 31, 1996 and 1997, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
March 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         RATIONAL SOFTWARE CORPORATION
 
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                                MARCH 31, 1997
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Organization and basis of presentation. Rational Software Corporation (the
Company) was incorporated under the laws of Delaware on July 28, 1982. The
Company develops, markets and supports a comprehensive solution for the
component-based development of software systems.
 
  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries including SQA, Inc. (SQA), which
was merged with the Company effective February 26, 1997. The historical
consolidated financial statements of the Company for all periods prior to such
merger date have been restated to reflect the merger, which has been accounted
for as a pooling-of-interests. The consolidated financial statements for all
periods include results of the Company's operations and balance sheet data on
a March 31 fiscal year basis and SQA's results on a December 31, fiscal year
basis. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon
consolidation.
 
  Use of estimates. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
 
  In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (FAS 121), "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,"
which requires the Company to review for impairment of long-lived assets
certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill related to those assets whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset might not be recoverable. In certain situations, an impairment loss
would be recognized. FAS 121 became effective for the Company on April 1,
1996. The adoption of FAS 121 did not have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated results of operations.
 
  Revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue and related costs from
the sale of its software products and systems upon shipment to the customer if
collection is probable and remaining Company obligations are insignificant.
Revenue from software royalties, whether they are advance payments that are
nonrefundable or minimum royalty guarantees payable over a fixed period, is
recorded when the earnings process is complete and collection is considered
probable. Revenue from consulting services is recognized when earned. Customer
support revenue is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the
period covered by the customer-support agreements. Contract revenue, which
generally represents special or custom engineering development under milestone
payments, is recognized in conformity with Accounting Research Bulletin No.
45, "Long-Term Construction Type Contracts", using the relevant guidance in
SOP 81-1, "Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain
Production-Type Contracts".
 
  Software capitalization. Computer software development costs are capitalized
after the economic and technological feasibility of a new product is
established. Capitalized costs are amortized on a product basis over the
estimated economic life of a general-release product, which generally does not
exceed three years. The annual amortization is the greater of the amount
computed using the straight-line method or the amount computed using the ratio
of current revenue to the total of current and anticipated future revenues.
Capitalized software-development costs are also written down periodically to
net realizable value based on an analysis of anticipated future revenues.
Research and development costs prior to the establishment of the economic and
technological feasibility of a product are expensed as incurred.
 
  There were no capitalized software development costs as of March 31, 1996
and 1997. For the years ended March 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, software
amortization was $472,000, $329,000 and $0, respectively.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
                                MARCH 31, 1997
 
  Translation of foreign currencies. Accounts denominated in foreign
currencies have been translated in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 52. The functional currency for the Company's
international sales operations is the U.S. dollar, with the exception of its
Swedish subsidiary for which the functional currency is the local currency.
Gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of the foreign currency
financial statements of the sales operations into U.S dollars are included in
other income. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translation of
the Swedish subsidiary are accumulated as a separate component of
stockholders' equity.
 
  Other income. During the year ended March 31, 1997, other income consisted
primarily of interest earned on the Company's excess cash, cash equivalents
and short-term investments and interest expense. It also included gains and
losses on foreign currency transactions.
 
  Net income (loss) per share. Net loss per share is computed using the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net
income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and
dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock
equivalents consist of stock options using the treasury stock method and
redeemable convertible preferred stock.
 
  Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Cash equivalents are
highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less
at the date of acquisition. Investments with maturity dates of greater than
three months are considered to be short-term investments.
 
  All the Company's cash equivalents and short-term investments are classified
as available-for-sale under the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115 (FAS 115), "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities." Investments are carried at amortized cost which
approximates estimated fair value based on quoted market prices at March 31,
1996 and 1997.
 
  Under FAS 115, management classifies investments as trading, available-for-
sale, or held-to-maturity at the time of purchase and periodically reevaluates
such designation. Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the
Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to
maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost with
corresponding premiums or discounts amortized over the life of the investment
to interest income. Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity are
classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair market value.
Unrecognized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than
temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in interest income.
The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
 
  Property and equipment. The Company's property and equipment are recorded at
cost, which is generally depreciated over three- to five-year periods using
the straight-line method. The cost of furniture and equipment under capital
leases is recorded at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease
payments or the fair value of the asset and is amortized over the shorter of
the term of the related lease or the estimated useful life of the asset.
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the remaining life of the lease.
 
  Stock-based compensation. The Company has elected to follow Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock issued to Employees"
(APB 25) and related Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock
options because the alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB
Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("FAS 123"),
requires use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in
valuing employee stock options. The Company generally grants stock options for
a fixed number of shares to employees with an exercise price equal to the fair
value of the shares at the date of grant, accordingly, no compensation expense
is recorded. The Company recognizes compensation expense for those options
granted with an exercise price less than fair value.

                                MARCH 31, 1997
 
  Fair value of financial instruments. The carrying values reported in the
balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-
term debt approximate fair value. The fair value of short-term investments is
based on quoted market prices.
 
  Advertising costs. The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.
Advertising costs totaled $1,362,000, $2,109,000 and $2,618,000 for the years
ended March 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively.
 
  Reclassifications. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform with current year presentation.
 
  Recent pronouncements. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be
adopted on March 31, 1998. At that time, the Company will be required to
change the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate
all prior periods. Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings
per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded.
 
2. RISKS DUE TO CONCENTRATIONS
 
  Concentrations of credit risk. Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash
equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company's investment policy limits
its exposure to concentrations of credit risk for cash equivalents. The
Company sells its products primarily to major corporations and systems
integrators that serve a wide variety of U.S. and foreign markets. Collateral
or deposits generally are not required from customers who demonstrate a
positive credit record and sound financial condition. The Company maintains
reserves for potential credit losses and such losses have been within
management's expectations.
 
  International sales. International sales currently account for approximately
one-third of the Company's revenues, and the Company expects that
international sales will continue to account for a significant portion of the
Company's revenues in future periods. Any material adverse effect on the
Company's international business would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial statements. Also, the Company's international sales are
generally denominated in foreign currencies. Losses on the conversion of
foreign-denominated receivables into U.S. dollars may have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial statements.
 
  From time to time the Company enters into short-term forward exchange
contracts to hedge against the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on
accounts receivable denominated in foreign currencies. The total amount of
these contracts is offset by the underlying foreign currency denominated
accounts receivable. The gains or losses on the contracts are included in
income as the contracts expire and are offset by gains and losses on the
underlying receivables being hedged. At March 31, 1997, the Company had
outstanding forward exchange contracts, all having maturities of approximately
35 days, to exchange various European currencies for US. dollars in the
amounts of $7,397,000. Neither the carrying amount nor the fair value of these
foreign currency forward exchange contracts was material at March 31, 1997.
One major U.S. multinational bank is counterparty to all these contracts. The
associated gains and losses are not material to the Company's results of
operations. There were no forward exchange contracts outstanding at March 31,
1996.

  Intangible assets include developed technology, assembled workforce,
customer base, trade name and covenant not-to-compete. The estimated average
useful life of these assets is four years. Accumulated amortization of
intangible assets totaled $2,184,000 and $509,000 at March 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. In-process research and development represents the present value
of the estimated cash flows expected to be generated by the related technology
from the Visual Test product and from each acquisition, which at the date of
purchase had not yet reached the point of technological feasibility and does
not have an alternative future use. Therefore, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, the in-process research and development was
written off and charged to operations during the quarter in which the purchase
took place.

  Legal Matters. On December 1, 1995, a complaint was filed against the
  -------------
Company relating to the Company's preliminary acquisition negotiations with
Interactive Development Environments, which were subsequently terminated. The
complaint was settled in March 1997, within amounts previously reserved for.

     On December 16, 1996, the Company filed a lawsuit against Silicon Graphics,
Inc. ("SGI") arising from SGI's failure to pay certain royalties due to the 
Company under a software license agreement entered into between the Company's 
predecessor, VERDIX Corporation, and SGI.  SGI has filed an answer denying the 
Company's allegations, and also filed a cross-complaint against the Company for 
unspecified damages for alleged wrongdoing arising out of the license agreement 
with SGI. The Company denies the allegations and intends to vigorously defend 
SGI's claims. The Company believes the resolution of this matter will not have
an adverse impact on its financial condition and results of operations.

9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
  Common stock. In July 1996, the Company's Board of Directors and

adjusted to reflect this change.
 
  During October 1996, the Company sold 5,188,000 shares of common stock in a
public offering. Net proceeds from the sale were $186,356,000 after deducting
underwriting discounts, commissions, and other related expenses.
 
  Stock options. The Company provides equity incentives to employees and
directors by means of incentive stock options and nonstatutory options which
historically have been provided under various stock option plans. The Company
now issues options from the Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan and the
1997 Stock Option Plan. Stock options generally vest over a period of four
years. Under these plans, the Company may grant either nonstatutory or
incentive stock options and the option price per share cannot be less than 85%
of fair market value in the case of nonstatutory options, or 100% of fair
market value in the case of incentive stock options, determined on the date
that the option is granted. Under these plans, the Company has reserved
8,468,200 shares for issuance at March 31, 1997. Options expire at various
dates ranging from 5 to 10 years from the date of grant.
 
  In July, 1995, an amendment was approved during the annual meeting of the
Company's stockholders that established a new formula for determining the size
of directors grants and that lengthened the vesting period of directors
grants. The compensation expense recognized during fiscal 1996 and 1997 as a
result of this change was $229,000 and $145,000, respectively.

  Employee stock purchase plan. The Company has an employee stock purchase
plan ("ESPP") under which substantially all employees may purchase common
stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85% of the lower of fair
market values as of the beginning or end of the offering period. Stock
purchases under the plan are limited to the lessor of 10% of an employee's
compensation or $25,000 per year. At March 31, 1997, 931,000 shares had been
issued under the Plan and 269,000 shares were reserved for issuance.
 
  Stock-based compensation. Pro forma information regarding net income (loss)
and earnings (loss) per share is required by FASB 123 for awards granted or
modified after December 31, 1994 as if the Company had accounted for its
stock-based awards to employees under the fair value method of FASB 123. The
fair value of the Company's stock-based awards to employees was estimated
using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires
the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price
volatility. Because the Company's stock-based awards to employees have
characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and
because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the
fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock-
based awards to employees. The fair value of the Company's stock-based awards
to employees was estimated assuming no expected dividends and the following
weighted-average assumptions:

  For pro forma purposes, the estimated fair value of the Company's stock-
based awards to employees is amortized over the options' vesting period (for
options) and the six-month purchase period (for stock purchases under the
ESPP). The Company's pro forma information for the years ended March 31, is as

  Because FASB 123 is applicable only to awards granted subsequent to December
31, 1994, its pro forma effect will not be fully reflected until approximately
1999 and is not expected to be indicative of the effects on net income (loss)
and net income (loss) per share in future years.
 
  The weighted-average fair value of options granted at market value during
fiscal 1996 and 1997 was $3.81 and $11.74 per share, respectively. The
weighted-average fair value of employee stock purchase rights during fiscal
1996 and 1997 was $1.35 and $4.65 per share, respectively.

  The valuation allowance increased by $5,647,000 and $11,210,000 in 1996 and
1997, respectively. Approximately $14,119,000 of the valuation allowance is
attributable to stock options, the benefit of which will be credited to
additional paid-in capital when realized.
 
  FASB Statement 109 provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if
realization of such assets is more likely than not. Based upon the weight of
available evidence, which includes the Company's historical operating
performance and the reported cumulative net loss for the prior three years,
the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred
tax assets. The Company will evaluate the realizability of the deferred tax
asset on a quarterly basis.
 
  At March 31, 1997, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for
federal income tax purposes of approximately $69,000,000 and tax credit
carryforwards of $3,900,000 that expire in 1997 through 2012. As a result of
the sale of common stock in June 1995, the Company incurred a change in stock

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
  On April 6, 1997, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement") providing for the merger of Pure Atria
Corporation ("Pure Atria") with and into Wings Merger Corporation, a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all of the
outstanding shares of Pure Atria common stock and each outstanding option or
right to purchase shares of Pure Atria common stock will be exchanged at the
ratio of 0.90 shares and options and rights to purchase shares of Rational
common stock for each share and option or right to purchase common stock of
Pure Atria, respectively. The consummation of the merger requires approval by
the Company's stockholders of the reservation and issuance of the shares of
the Company's common stock to be issued in the merger. The Company expects to
account for the Merger as a pooling of interests and issue approximately
45,493,000 shares in exchange for all outstanding common stock and upon
exercise of outstanding options of Pure Atria.
 
  The Board of Directors has also authorized an increase in the authorized
number of shares of common stock from 75,000,000 to 150,000,000, subject to
stockholder approval, to provide Rational a sufficient number of shares of
common stock to consummate the merger.
