NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
all subsidiaries after the elimination of all significant inter-company
items and transactions.
A summary of the significant accounting policies of the Company is included
in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1995. These
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those
notes.
The consolidated financial information at June 30, 1996 and for the three-
and nine- month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 is unaudited. The
statements in this report include all adjustments of a normal recurring
nature. In the opinion of management, these adjustments are necessary for a
fair statement of the interim results for the periods presented. The
interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full
year.
2. Net Income Per Share
<TABLE>
Net income per common share is computed by adding to the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period the number of
dilutive common shares that would be issuable upon the exercise of
outstanding options using the treasury stock method of computation. Fully
diluted net income per share is not disclosed because it is not materially
different from primary net income per share.

3. Contingencies
The Company is involved in certain legal actions and claims arising in the
ordinary course of business. Management believes that such litigation and
claims will be resolved without material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.
4. Reclassifications
Beginning in the first quarter of 1996, changes have been made in the
classification of revenue and operating expense in the Consolidated
Statements of Income. 1995 has been reclassified to conform to these
changes.
"New Product Revenue" consists of licensing of core software products (net
of the bundled maintenance) plus consulting and education services related
to those products. "Maintenance Fees and Other" consists of revenue from
maintenance, hardware sales, computer services and royalties from IBM
related to the jointly developed CICS product now being sold by IBM. "Cost
of Revenue" includes the cost of maintenance support as well as royalties
paid to independent software authors, amortization of purchased and
internally developed software, the cost of hardware associated with certain
sales of client/server products and costs related to operating the computer
services division. "Product Development, Net" consists of engineering and
development costs less costs capitalized under FAS 86.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
When used in this discussion, the words "anticipate," "estimate," "project" and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such
statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those
discussed below and in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended September 30,
1995, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward looking
statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no
obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these
forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances
after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
REVENUES:
<TABLE>
The Company derives its revenues primarily from the licensing of computer
software programs, consulting and education services, and the sales of software
maintenance services. Total revenue for the 3 and 9 months ended June 30, 1996
increased over the same period in the prior year by 9.5% and 7.5%, respectively.
Without the effect of currency rate changes, total revenue grew 16.4% and 8.7%,
respectively.

</TABLE>
New Product Revenue:
The Company licenses its products to customers for use on their computer systems
and performs consulting and educational services related to those products. As
is common in the industry, more than 50% of the Company's license revenue is
derived from transactions that close in the last month of a quarter, which can
make quarterly revenues difficult to forecast. And, since operating expenses are
relatively fixed, failure to achieve projected revenues could materially and
adversely affect the Company's operating results. This, in turn, could result in
an immediate and adverse effect on the market price of the Company's stock.

BOOLE & BABBAGE, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Products:
Client/Server products grew 65.6% and 67.5% and accounted for 24.9% and 22.4% of
new product revenue for the 3 and 9 months ended June 30, 1996, respectively.
The Company anticipates that this group will continue to show high growth rates
for the remainder of fiscal 1996 as new products such as Ensign begin to produce
greater revenue. However, Ensign has taken longer to rollout than originally
planned and the Company competes with certain firms who have greater resources
along with products already in the marketplace. These same types of
circumstances resulted in below-plan sales on the Stage3 LAN backup product
which caused the Company to take a charge of about $1 million for the remaining
royalty commitment in the third quarter of 1996. In addition, the Company is
dependent on the client/server market developing at a rapid rate despite recent
reports by industry analysts that implementation of client/server networks may
be more expensive and time-consuming than users had anticipated, which could
potentially slow the growth of the market. Due to these factors, there can be no
assurances that new client/server products will achieve significant market
acceptance or competitive success and thus contribute to revenue growth.
Mainframe products grew 7.6% and 2.2% and accounted for 75.1% and 77.6% of new
product revenue for the 3 and 9 months ended June 30, 1996, respectively.
Mainframe products include Plex products, which enable customers to handle large
groups of computer processors, particularly the new parallel processing machines
by IBM. The Company's new product growth rates could be materially and adversely
impacted if the new parallel processors do not gain significant market
acceptance and customer spending shifts away from traditional mainframes to
technology platforms where the Company does not have significant product
acceptance.

</TABLE>
Domestic:
Field sales grew 76.9% and 28.2% for 3 and 9 months, respectively, but was
offset by decreases in telesales of 4.6% and 28.6%. The telesales group
decreases were due to ineffective sales execution as well as a change in sales
year from a calendar year to a fiscal year to conform with the rest of the
Company's sales force which had the effect of shifting momentum away from the
traditional final quarter. For growth to return in this geographic market, the
Company is dependent on increased productivity from the telesales group,
continued increases from the field sales force, and the ability to generate
larger size transactions. The Company has recently made several changes to sales
management in an effort to improve the overall effectiveness of this channel.

BOOLE & BABBAGE, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
International:
The increase in the Company's new product revenues from its international
operations, comprised of foreign subsidiaries and marketing agents, is primarily
a result of strong growth in Europe of 14.2% and 16.5% for the 3 and 9 month
periods, respectively. Without the effect of currency rate changes,
international new product revenue grew 14.5% and 12.5% for 3 and 9 months,
respectively. Since the majority of new revenue is derived from international
markets, the Company's operations and financial results could be significantly
and adversely affected by international factors such as changes in currency
exchange rates and specific countries' political and economic circumstances. The
Company has implemented an economic hedging program to attempt to reduce its
exposure to currency fluctuations through the next quarter. As a result of this
strategy, during the nine months ended June 30, 1996, the Company has recognized
slightly less benefit from weakness in the U.S. dollar than if no hedging
programs were undertaken.
Maintenance fees and other:
Maintenance revenue is generated from services the Company provides including
technical support, product enhancements, system updates and user documentation.
Maintenance revenue also includes maintenance services for an initial period
ranging from six months to one year which is included in the initial charge when
the Company licenses its software products under a long-term agreement.
Thereafter on each anniversary date of the license, the customer may elect to
renew its maintenance contract with the Company. Customers may also elect to
purchase advance maintenance at the time of product licensing for maintenance
periods beyond the first year. Included in maintenance fees and other is revenue
from computer services, hardware sales and royalties from IBM for the jointly
developed CICS product. As announced on July 15, 1996, the Company has finalized
a long-term licensing agreement with IBM which replaces the prior agreement and
could result in an estimated total royalty payments of $10 million from the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 through the second quarter of fiscal 1999.
Maintenance fees and other grew 0.9% and 2.7% for the quarter and year-to-date,
respectively. Without the effect of currency rate changes, maintenance fees and
other grew 6.6% and 3.7%. This increase is mainly the result of increased
product licensing in the previous year combined with high renewal rates but
reduced by higher discounts granted on multiple-year maintenance packages
purchased by customers.
The Company anticipates that maintenance revenues in fiscal 1996 will continue
to increase due to the higher license revenue growth in 1995, although it will
be negatively impacted by reduced revenue associated with site consolidations,
non-CPU specific pricing and multiple-year maintenance package discounts. In
addition, to produce maintenance revenue increases, the Company must continue to
generate new product licensing revenues and continue to provide high quality
maintenance support and upgrades.

</TABLE>
Cost of revenue:
Cost of revenue consists primarily of the cost of product maintenance support,
royalties paid to independent software authors, amortization of purchased and
internally developed software, the cost of hardware associated with certain
sales of client/server products and costs related to operating the computer
services division. Cost of revenue increased by 20.5% for the quarter and 11.8%
for the 9 month period in 1996. Without the effect of currency rate changes, the
increases were 28.2% and 12.8%, respectively. The increases in 1996 are
primarily attributable to a charge in the third quarter of approximately $1
million on the remaining royalty commitments on the Stage3 product and increased
royalties on higher third-party revenue in Europe and Japan. A new contract with
a third-party vendor in Europe has significantly reduced the royalties on
maintenance from Q295 through Q496. Since this reduction was in effect for both
years, there was no material impact on the comparability between these periods.
In general, the relationship of cost of revenue to revenue will fluctuate due
primarily to changes in revenue mix, maintenance support, royalty agreements and
amortization of capitalized software.
Product development, net:
Net product development costs increased by 24.1% for the quarter and 15.5% for
the 9 month period in 1996. Without the effect of currency rate changes, the
increases were 25.6% and 15.6%, respectively. The increases in 1996 are
primarily attributable to higher R&D personnel costs due to increased headcount
and use of outside consultants for certain porting projects. R&D expenditures
were approximately 16% of revenue (excluding third party) in both years with the
amount of R&D capitalized in both years at approximately 18% of gross R&D costs.
The Company capitalizes certain development costs in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 86 ("FAS 86"). To the extent the Company
capitalizes its product development costs, the effect is to defer such costs to
future periods and match them to the revenue generated by the products. Product
development expenses may fluctuate annually depending in part upon the number
and status of internal software development projects.

<PAGE>
BOOLE & BABBAGE, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Sales and marketing:
Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 2.9% for the quarter but increased
2.8% for the 9 month period in 1996. Without the effect of currency rate
changes, the changes were increases of 3.1% and 3.7%, respectively. The
increases are primarily a result of higher commission expense in the domestic
and European markets and higher headcount in Europe partially offset by
decreases in agent commissions and marketing programs.
General and Administrative:
General and administrative expenses increased by 32.6% for the quarter and 6.5%
for the 9 month period. Without the effect of currency rate changes, the
increases were 39.3% and 7.2%, respectively. The increase for the quarter is
primarily due to relatively lower expense levels in 1995 as the Company
negotiated a lease termination in the third quarter of 1995 which resulted in
the recovery of approximately $350,000 of accrued leases payments on an idle
facility. In addition, Q396 had higher costs as a result of a move to new
premises in Ireland. These increases in the third quarter of 1996 offset
decreases for 9 months from lower personnel costs and legal expense.
Interest and other income, net:
Interest and other income consists principally of interest income, interest
expense, gain or loss on sales of investments, currency gain or loss, and gain
or loss on disposal of assets. Interest and other income increased 52.0% for the
9 month period and is mainly due to higher interest income as installment
receivables increased approximately 70% over a year ago. Other factors were a
gain on sale of equity investments netted against increased currency losses in
the third quarter of 1996 as the Irish pound strengthened against other European
currencies. In addition, Q195 included an investment write-off of approximately
$300,000.
Income Taxes:
The effective tax rate for 1996 was 28% compared with a 30% rate in 1995. The
change is primarily due to the utilization of certain foreign net operating loss
carryforwards previously included in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
The Company's effective tax rate differs from the federal statuary rate due
primarily to permanently invested earnings of foreign subsidiaries being taxed
at rates lower than the federal statutory rate. Management believes future
taxable income will be sufficient to realize the tax benefit of the net deferred
tax asset of approximately $10,600,000.

BOOLE & BABBAGE, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Income Taxes: (continued)
The Company is currently under audit for federal tax purposes for fiscal year
1993. Management believes that the audit will be resolved without material
adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
The significant sources of cash during 1996 include $8,415,000 provided from
