Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
Effective March 30, 1999, a wholly owned subsidiary of BMC Software,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), was merged (the "Merger") with and
into Boole and Babbage, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Boole"), pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 31, 1998, between the Company and
Boole (the "Merger Agreement"). The stockholders of Boole approved the Merger at
a special meeting held on March 30, 1999. In the Merger, each issued and
outstanding share of common stock of Boole, par value $.001 per share (the
"Boole Common Stock") was converted into 0.675 of a share (the "Exchange Ratio")
of Company common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Company Common Stock").
The Exchange Ratio was fixed pursuant to the Merger Agreement and was determined
through arm's length negotiations between the parties prior to the signing of
the Merger Agreement on October 31, 1998. According to Boston EquiServe, the
Company's transfer agent and registrar, approximately 19,117,440 shares of
Company Common Stock were issued to the former stockholders of Boole in the
Merger. The Boole stockholders will receive cash in lieu of any fractional
share of Company Common Stock. The Merger was accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests.
A description of the closing of the Merger is contained in the March
30, 1999 press release of the Company, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1
and incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement is incorporated
herein by reference to Annex A of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus contained in
Amendment No. 3 to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No.
333-67263), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
on February 24, 1999 and declared effective by the Commission on February 25,
1999 (the "Registration Statement"). A description of the Merger, including
additional information requested pursuant to Item 2 of Form 8-K, are contained
in the Registration Statement, the text of which is incorporated herein by
reference.
Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired
The financial statements required to be filed were previously reported
on pages 12 through 30 of Exhibit 13.1 to Boole's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 filed with the Commission on
December 29, 1998, and on pages 1 through 6 of Boole's Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 filed with the Commission on
February 16, 1999, and are incorporated herein by reference.
(b) Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
reflect adjustments to the historical consolidated balance sheets and statements
of income of BMC and Boole to give effect to the merger, using the pooling of
interests method of accounting for a business combination.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the
nine months ended December 31, 1997 and 1998 and for the years ended March 31,
1996, 1997 and 1998 assume the merger was effected as of April 1, 1995.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31,
1998 assumes the merger was effected as of December 31, 1998.
The fiscal year ends for the Company and Boole occur at different dates.
The Company's fiscal year end is March 31 while Boole's fiscal year end is
September 30. In order to present the pro forma combined results on a comparable
basis, certain adjustments were made to Boole's results of operations for
certain periods to conform to those of the Company. See "Notes to Unaudited
Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements" in this section for an
explanation of the pro forma adjustments.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
have been prepared from, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and Boole.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income are
not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred
had the merger occurred on April 1, 1995, nor are they necessarily indicative of
the future operating results of the combined company.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the
nine months ended December 31, 1997 and 1998 are based on the unaudited
consolidated financial statements of BMC for the nine months ended December 31,
1997 and 1998 and the consolidated financial statements of Boole for the years
ended September 30, 1997 and 1998 reduced by the unaudited consolidated
statements of income of Boole for the six months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998,
respectively and increased by the unaudited consolidated statements of income of
Boole for the three months ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the years ended
March 31, 1996 and 1997 are based on the consolidated financial statements of
BMC for the years ended March 31, 1996 and 1997 and Boole for the years ended
September 30, 1995 and 1996. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
statement of income for the year ended March 31, 1998 is based on the
consolidated financial statements of BMC for the years ended March 31, 1998 and
Boole for the year ended September 30, 1997 reduced by the unaudited
consolidated statements of income of Boole for the six months ended March 31,
1997 and increased by the unaudited consolidated statements of income of Boole
for the six months ended March 31, 1998.
As a result of the adjustments to conform BMC and Boole's fiscal year ends
for the year ended March 31, 1998, Boole's results of operations for the six
months ended March 31, 1997, which include total revenues of $96.2 million and a
net loss of $0.4 million, have not been included in the unaudited pro forma
condensed combined statements of income for the periods presented.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet is based on the
balance sheets of BMC and Boole at December 31, 1998, after giving effect to the
adjustments and assumptions described below.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet reflects expenses
expected to be incurred by BMC and Boole in connection with the merger; however,
the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income do not reflect
such expenses. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
do not reflect the effect of cost savings and revenue enhancements, if any,
which may be realized after consummation of the merger.
BMC and Boole employ accounting policies that are in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. 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 the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate results
could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the unaudited
pro forma condensed combined financial statements include all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position of BMC and Boole and the
results of operations of BMC and Boole.

<PAGE> 10
NOTE 2. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
The Company expects to incur charges to operations of approximately $38.3
million (or $32.5 million net of income taxes) for transaction fees, costs
incident to the merger and certain identified restructuring charges. These
expenses are reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance
sheet as of December 31, 1998, consistent with SEC reporting rules. These
expenses are not reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined
statements of income. No adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro
forma condensed combined financial statements for the benefits that BMC
management anticipates to result from the merger. BMC expects
to restructure the combined operations, resulting in additional nonrecurring
charges, which could be significant. The estimate of restructuring charges
is based on the information currently available to management.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect the
following pro forma adjustments:
(A) Other current liabilities -- reflects the accrual of the estimated
transaction fees, costs incident to the merger and certain identified
restructuring charges.
(B) Stockholders' equity -- Stockholders' equity reflects the issuance of
approximately 19,117,440 shares of BMC common stock in exchange for all
outstanding shares of Boole common stock at March 30, 1999. Therefore,
the historical combined common stock, paid-in capital and retained
earnings balances have been adjusted to reflect the number of shares
assumed to be issued, the differences in par value per common share of
BMC and Boole and the cancellation of Boole treasury stock. Retained
earnings has also been adjusted to reflect the accrual of the estimated
transaction fees, costs incident to the merger and certain identified
frestructuring charges.

o Reduced management complexity by providing tailored
infrastructure, application and, ultimately, business process
views across the distributed enterprise for service level
management.
o Enhanced interoperability through synergistic product
capabilities, alignment, functionality and integration.
o Superior customer service via an enhanced global distribution
and support network.
o Additional technology innovation through the combined
company's extensive expertise and talent pool.
As the two companies are assimilated, BMC Software will work with its customers
to consolidate pricing and terms and conditions to simplify them, therefore
making it even easier to do business with BMC Software. At this time, the
company does not foresee the need for any significant changes in Boole & Babbage
prices.
BMC Software exchanged approximately 19 million shares of common stock for all
outstanding shares of Boole & Babbage. The transaction will be accounted for as
a pooling of interests.
With the completion of the Boole & Babbage transaction, BMC Software now employs
approximately 4,400 people in 26 countries and has combined revenues during the
last 12 months of approximately $1.2 billion.
