Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
         -------------------------------------

         Effective as of the close of business on March 8, 1999, TouchStone
Software Corporation (the "Company") acquired all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Unicore Software, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation
("Unicore"). At the time of the acquisition, Unicore was privately owned by
Pierre A. Narath, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and a
member of the Company's Board of Directors, and Jason K. Raza, who became a Vice
President of the Company in connection with the acquisition. Unicore is a
leading provider of system management software, including BIOS upgrades, PC
Diagnostics and Year 2000 Solutions, whose customers consist of a majority of
Fortune 500 corporations, government agencies, and major educational and
financial institutions. The original Unicore was founded by Mr. Narath in 1989,
and sold to Award Software International, Inc. ("Award") in 1997. On October 27,
1998, following the merger of Award with and into Phoenix Technologies Ltd.
("Phoenix"), Messrs. Narath and Raza formed Unicore as a new Massachusetts
corporation and used it to purchase all of the assets of the original Unicore
from Phoenix.

         Pursuant to the terms and conditions of a definitive Agreement and Plan
of Acquisition ("Acquisition Agreement"), the acquisition of Unicore was
accomplished through the merger of Unicore with and into a newly-formed and
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Immediately prior to the acquisition,
the Company contributed all of the assets, products and operations of its
personal computer diagnostic software business to this newly-formed corporation.
As a consequence, since the closing of the Unicore acquisition the Company has
served as a holding company with a single, wholly-owned subsidiary that
currently conducts the business and activities that previously were separately
conducted by both the Company and Unicore. The acquisition is being accounted
for as a purchase by the Company.

         At the closing of the acquisition of Unicore by the Company, the former
shareholders of Unicore, Messrs. Narath and Raza, received an aggregate of
$1,205,000 in cash. The balance of the purchase price is to be paid through the
issuance of an aggregate of 3,350,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
immediately following the 1999 Annual Meeting of the Company's stockholders (the
"Annual Meeting"), as described in more detail below. However, because of the
number of shares to be issued and the fact that the primary recipient thereof,
Mr. Narath, is a director and the President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, the corporate governance rules for continued listing of the Company's
Common Stock on The Nasdaq National Market require that the Company obtain
stockholder approval of the issuance of these shares. Consequently, the
Acquisition Agreement provides that the payment of the balance of the purchase
price be deferred until after the upcoming Annual Meeting, in order to afford
the stockholders of the Company with the opportunity to consider and vote upon a
proposal to approve the issuance of shares of the Company's Common Stock in
payment therefor.

         At the Annual Meeting, the Company's stockholders will be asked to
approve the issuance of 3,350,000 shares of the authorized but previously
unissued shares of the Company's Common Stock, which would be delivered to the
former shareholders of Unicore in payment of the balance of the purchase price
for Unicore. On March 8, 1999, the effective date of the acquisition, the
closing price for a share of the Company's Common Stock on The Nasdaq National
Market was $0.69. Approval of the proposal to issue these 3,350,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock in payment of the balance of the Unicore purchase
price will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
shares of Common Stock present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting.
Each of the executive officers and directors of the Company, including Mr.
Narath, has indicated the intention to vote all of the shares of the Company's
Common Stock over which such individual has voting control in favor of the
issuance of 3,350,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock in payment of the
balance of the purchase price for Unicore.

         In the event that the stockholders of the Company do not approve the
issuance of these 3,350,000 shares of Common Stock at the Annual Meeting, the
Acquisition Agreement provides that the balance of the Unicore purchase price be
paid with $3,350,000 in cash.  In order to secure, in part, the obligation of
the Company to pay the balance of the purchase price, the Company deposited the
sum of $2,000,000 in cash into an interest-bearing escrow at the time of closing
of the Unicore acquisition.

         Approval of the issuance of 3,350,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock in payment of the balance of the Unicore purchase price is not required by
Delaware law. Consequently, the Company would have the corporate power and
authority to issue and deliver these shares to the former shareholders of
Unicore even if the Company's stockholders declined to approve the issuance
thereof at the Annual Meeting. Under certain

                                       2
<PAGE>

circumstances specified in the Acquisition Agreement, the former shareholders of
Unicore would have the right to insist that the balance of the purchase price be
paid through issuance and delivery of 3,350,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock, rather than in cash, even if the issuance of these shares is not approved
at the Annual Meeting. This right would arise in the event that the closing
price for a share of the Company's Common Stock on The Nasdaq National Market
has exceeded $1.00 at any time following the effective date of the Acquisition
Agreement and the date of the Annual Meeting. Should the former shareholders of
Unicore exercise their right to receive shares of the Company's Common Stock in
lieu of cash under these circumstances, the continued listing of the Company's
Common Stock on The Nasdaq National Market could be jeopardized since the shares
would be issued without stockholder approval.

         In connection with the acquisition, each of Messrs. Narath and Raza
entered into a three-year employment agreement with the Company. Under the terms
of his employment agreement, Mr. Narath is to serve as the President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, and as a member of its Board of Directors, and
as the President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of Unicore which
currently operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The employment
agreement has an initial term of three years commencing March 1, 1999, and will
automatically renew for an additional one-year period on each March 1 unless
terminated by either party on six months prior written notice. For the year
ending December 31, 1999, Mr. Narath is to be paid a base salary of $200,000,
with his base salary to increase to $210,000 for the year ending December 31,
2000 and to $225,000 for the year ending December 31, 2001. In addition to this
base salary, Mr. Narath is to be paid a bonus equal to 3.5% of all consolidated
net sales in excess of $6,000,000 generated by the Company during the year
ending December 31, 1999, plus such other bonuses as the Company's Board of
Directors may determine. Mr. Narath's employment agreement also provides that he
is entitled to receive certain specified supplemental health and life insurance
and all costs of a motor vehicle to be selected by him, in addition to
reimbursement for all of his reasonable business expenses, and to participate in
all of the Company's existing benefit plans.

         Should his employment with the Company be terminated for any reason
other than "cause" as defined therein, Mr. Narath would be entitled to receive,
in one payment, an amount equal to one year's base salary at the level then in
effect, plus an amount equal to any bonuses earned during the previous calendar
year. However, if Mr. Narath's employment is terminated for any reason within
one year following a specified change in control of the Company which is not
approved by the Company's Board of Directors, with Mr. Narath voting in favor
thereof, the Company would be obligated to pay Mr. Narath, in one payment, an
amount equal to 200% of one year's salary at the level then in effect, plus 200%
of any bonuses earned during the previous calendar year and an additional amount
equal to all taxes payable by Mr. Narath on the full amount of such payment. In
the event that there is a change in control of the Company which has been
approved by the Company's Board of Directors, with Mr. Narath voting in favor
thereof, he would nevertheless be entitled to terminate his employment agreement
for "good cause" if his duties were substantially diminished within 12 months
thereafter, in which case the Company would be obligated to pay him, in one
payment, an amount equal to one year's base salary at the level then in effect,
plus an amount equal to any bonuses earned during the previous calendar year.

         Mr. Raza's employment agreement provides that he is to be employed as a
Vice President of both the Company and Unicore for a three-year period
commencing March 1, 1999, subject to the same provision for additional one-year
extensions.   During each year of the initial term, Mr. Raza is to be paid a
base salary of not less than $110,00 and shall be entitled to receive such
bonuses as the Company's Board of Directors may determine. In the event that his
employment with the Company is terminated for any reason other than "cause" as
defined therein, Mr. Raza would be entitled to receive, in one payment, an
amount equal to one year's base salary at the level then in effect, plus an
amount equal to any bonuses earned during the previous calendar year.

         As a condition to the closing of the Unicore acquisition, the Company
deposited the sum of $620,000 in cash with Lawrence Savings Bank of
Massachusetts, in order to obtain the release of Mr. Narath from his personal
guarantee of approximately $620,000 of indebtedness owed by Unicore to Lawrence
Savings Bank that was incurred in connection with the purchase of Unicore from
Phoenix.

         In connection with the acquisition, each of Messrs. Narath and Raza
also was granted "piggy-back" registration rights with respect to any and all
shares of the Company's Common Stock owned by them, including any shares issued
in payment of the balance of the purchase price.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
                         ----------------------------

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Unicore Software
Inc. and its Subsidiary as of December 31, 1997, and the related statements of
income and deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement 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 financial position of Unicore Software, Inc. and
Subsidiary as of December 31, 1997, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT
                               DECEMBER 31, 1997

- -=------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Basis of Presentation
     ---------------------

     The accompanying consolidated balance sheet includes the accounts of
      Unicore Software, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary
      Microid Research, Inc. All significant intercompany balances have been
      eliminated in consolidation.

     Reporting Entity
     ----------------

     Unicore Software, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in May 1991, as a
      Massachusetts corporation and is primarily engaged in the development and
      sales of system software which is sold directly to OEM's and end users
      throughout the United States.

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

     Software and hardware revenue is recognized upon delivery of the product.
      Consulting and other revenues are recognized upon the delivery of the
      services. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the
      maintenance contract.

     Cash
     ----

     The Company's bank balances fluctuates during the year and can exceed the
      federally insured limit. Management monitors regularly the financial
      condition of the financial institutions, along with its cash balances, in
      an attempt to minimize this potential risk.

     Property and Equipment
     ----------------------

     Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on
      the straight-line method for financial statement purposes, and accelerated
      methods for income tax purposes, over the estimated useful lives of the
      assets.

     Intangible Asset
     ----------------

     Intangible asset, which represents purchased software, is being amortized
     over two (2) years.

     Advertising
     -----------

     Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

     Research and Development Costs
     ------------------------------

     Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

     Income Taxes
     ------------

     Effective January 1, 1997, the Company and its stockholder elected to be
      taxed under the Subchapter S provision of the Internal Revenue Code;
      therefore the stockholder of the Company was responsible for income taxes
      on corporate profits for federal and state tax purposes. On May 31, 1997,
      as a result of the purchase of all of the Company's outstanding common
      stock by a publicly traded corporation, the Company's Subchapter S
      election was revoked.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT
                               DECEMBER 31, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     Income Taxes (Continued)
     -----------------------

     Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for temporary
      differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the tax
      bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible
      amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rated applicable to
      the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable
      income.

     Deferred income taxes are primarily attributable to timing differences from
      the accelerated depreciation and amortization methods for income tax
      purposes and the expensing of certain research and development costs for
      financial reporting purposes. Income tax expense includes the federal and
      state income taxes payable or refundable for the year plus or minus the
      change during the year in the deferred tax asset or liability.

     Use of Estimates
     ----------------

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

2.   ACQUISITION OF WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY

     On April 17, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
      Microid Research, Inc. The acquisition has been accounted for using the
      purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the purchase price of
      $550,000 has been allocated to the assets purchased based upon the fair
      value at the date of acquisition. The sole asset acquired was software
      which was determined to have a fair value of $275,000. The remaining
      $275,000 of the purchase price has been expensed as research and
      development costs.

3.   PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Unicore Software

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

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT
                              SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Basis of Presentation
     ---------------------

     The accompanying consolidated balance sheet includes the accounts of
      Unicore Software, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary
      Microid Research, Inc. All significant intercompany balances have been
      eliminated in consolidation.

     Reporting Entity
     ----------------

     Unicore Software, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in May 1991, as a
      Massachusetts corporation and is primarily engaged in the development and
      sales of system software which is sold directly to OEM's and end users
      throughout the United States.

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

     Software and hardware revenue is recognized upon delivery of the product.
      Consulting and other revenues are recognized upon the delivery of the
      services. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the
      maintenance contract.

     Cash
     ----

     The Company's bank balances fluctuates during the year and can exceed the
      federally insured limit. Management monitors regularly the financial
      condition of the financial institutions, along with its cash balances, in
      an attempt to minimize the potential risk.

     Property and Equipment
     ----------------------

     Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on
      the straight-line method for financial statement purposes, and accelerated
      methods for income tax purposes, over the estimated useful lives of the
      assets.

     Income Taxes
     ------------

     Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for temporary
      differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the tax
      bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible
      amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to
      the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable
      income.

     Deferred income taxes are primarily attributable to timing differences from
      the accelerated depreciation and amortization methods and the expensing of
      certain research and development costs for financial reporting purposes.
      Income tax expense includes the federal and state income taxes payable or
      refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the year in the
      deferred tax asset or liability.

     Research and Development Costs
     ------------------------------

     Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

     Advertising
     -----------

     Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

     Use of Estimates
     ----------------

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

      sold directly to OEM's and end users throughout the United States.

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

     The Company's bank balances fluctuates during the year and can exceed the
      federally insured limit. Management monitors regularly the financial
      condition of the financial institutions, along with its cash balances, in
      an attempt to minimize the potential risk.

     Property and Equipment
     ----------------------

     Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on
      the straight-line method for financial statement purposes, and accelerated
      methods for income tax purposes, over the estimated useful lives of the
      assets.

     Income Taxes
     ------------

     The Company has elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of
      the Internal Revenue Code; therefore, the stockholders of the Company are

     ----------------

     Intangible asset, which represents goodwill, is being amortized over
      fifteen (15) years.

     Use of Estimates
     ----------------

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

             NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998
                                  (UNAUDITED)


1.   The following Pro Forma Financial Statements are Unaudited and give effect
to the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Unicore
Software, Inc. ("Unicore") by Touchstone Software Corporation (the "Company") on
a purchase accounting basis. Both the Company's and Unicore's fiscal years end
on December 31.

     The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1998
assumes that the acquisition occurred on December 31, 1998 and combines the
Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company and the Consolidated Balance Sheet of
Unicore as of December 31, 1998.

     The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year
ended December 31, 1998 assumes that the acquisition occurred at January 1,
1998, and combines the Consolidated Statement of Operations of the Company for
the year ended December 31, 1998 with the Consolidated Statement of Operations
of Unicore for the year ended December 31, 1998.

     Such unaudited pro forma combined financial information is presented for
illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial
position or results of operations that would have actually been reported had the
acquisition occurred at the beginning of the period presented nor is it
necessarily indicative of future financial position or results of operations,
and is based upon certain assumptions and adjustments described in the notes to
the pro forma consolidated financial statements. These unaudited pro forma
combined financial statements are based upon the respective historical
consolidated financial statements of the Company and Unicore, and should be read
in conjunction with the respective historical consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the
year ended December 31, 1998, and in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A for
Unicore.

2.   The allocation of the $3,285,350 purchase price for Unicore Software is
allocable to the specific identifiable tangible and intangible assets and
liabilities as follows:

3.   Pro Forma Adjustments

     a.  This adjustment reflects the cash portion of the purchase price paid to
         the stockholders of Unicore.

     b.  This adjustment reflects the recording of goodwill.

     c.  This adjustment is an accrual for the estimated remaining purchase
         obligation.

     d.  This adjustment reflects the amount of the goodwill amortization after
         the conclusion of the first year of combined operations. Goodwill is
         calculated based on the purchase price less the net tangible assets of
         Unicore, and is amortized over three years.
