                           Quarter Ended June 30, 1998


    The Registrant hereby amends the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended
June 30, 1998. 

    This amendment is the result of an acquisition of BGS Systems, Inc. (BGS)
which had been accounted for as an immaterial pooling of interests transaction
for which prior periods were not restated to reflect BGS operations in the
Registrant's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 1998. The
restatement resulted from a change in the Registrant's evaluation of the
materiality of BGS's results of operations and financial position relative to
the Registrant's prior period financial statements.

                       BMC SOFTWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of BMC Software, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Company"). All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

         The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of
the results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.

         These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's annual audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 1998,
as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.

Note 2 - Earnings Per Share

         The Company presents its earnings per share in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share". SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of earnings per share (EPS);
basic EPS and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock. For purposes of this calculation, outstanding stock options
and unearned restricted stock are considered common stock equivalents using the
treasury stock method. The following table summarizes the basic EPS and diluted
EPS computations for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1998 (in
thousands, except per share amounts):

Note 3 - Stock Split

         On April 20, 1998, the Company's board of directors declared a
two-for-one stock split. The stock split was effected in the form of a stock
dividend. The stockholders of record received one share of common stock for each
share held. All stock related data in the condensed consolidated financial
statements and related notes reflect this stock split for all periods presented.

Note 4 - Comprehensive Income

         In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued 
SGAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". SGAS No. 130 requires the 
presentation of a Comprehensive Income Statement that is to be presented with 
other general financial statements. This statement is effective for the 
Company's fiscal year end 1999. The following table sets forth the calculation 
of comprehensive income for the following periods:

Product Line Revenues

     The Company's products for the IBM OS/390 mainframe environment accounted
for approximately 81% and 75% of total revenues in the quarters ended June 30,
1997 and 1998. The database utilities and administrative tools for IBM's IMS and
DB2 database management systems comprise the largest portion of the Company's
mainframe-based and total revenues. These product lines accounted for 61% and
55% of total revenues in the first quarters of fiscal 1998 and 1999,
respectively and 62% and 53% of license revenues for the same periods. Total
revenues and license revenues from these product lines grew 19% and 22%,
respectively in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. The Company's other products
for the mainframe environment contributed 20% of total revenues for both periods
presented and 16% and 19% of license revenues for the quarters ended June 30,
1997 and 1998, respectively. Total revenues and license revenues for the
Company's other mainframe products grew 35% and 70%, respectively, in the first
quarter of fiscal 1999.

     The Company's distributed systems product lines comprise the PATROL
application and database management solutions, the BEST/1 performance management
products, the PATROL DB database administration products and the Company's
high-performance database backup and recovery solutions. In total, these product
lines contributed 19% and 25% of total revenues for the quarters ended June 30,
1997 and 1998, respectively and 22% and 28% of license revenues for the same
periods. Total revenues for these product lines grew 75% and license revenues
grew 72% in the first quarter of fiscal 1999.

License Revenues

     The Company's license revenues include product license fees and
capacity-based license upgrade fees. Product license fees are generated from the
initial licensing of a product and subsequent licenses purchased under the
Company's per copy, central processing unit ("CPU") tier-based licensing
program. Product license fees also include fees associated with the initial
licensing of a product on an aggregate processing capacity measured on a
millions of instructions per second ("MIPS") basis. Capacity-based license
upgrade fees have, to date, been generated almost exclusively by the Company's
mainframe products. These fees are charged when a customer acquires the right 
to run an already licensed product on additional processing capacity, as 
measured by CPU tier or by MIPS. Customers may purchase this right for current 
processing capacity or anticipated future processing capacity.

     The Company's North American operations generated 70% of total license
revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 1997 and 71% for the corresponding
quarter ended June 30, 1998. The 42% increase in North American license revenues
is primarily attributable to increased licensing of the Company's distributed
systems products and increased capacity-based license upgrade fees.
International license revenues represented 30% and 29% of total license revenues
for the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The 37% increase in
International license revenues is primarily attributable to increased
capacity-based license upgrade fees and increased licensing of the Company's
distributed systems products.

     Capacity-based upgrade fees include fees for both current and future
additional processing capacity. The sustainability and growth of the Company's
mainframe-based license revenues are dependent upon these capacity-based license
upgrade fees, particularly within its largest customer accounts. Most of the
Company's largest customers have entered into enterprise license agreements
allowing them to install the Company's products on unspecified CPUs, subject to
a maximum limit on the aggregate power of the CPUs as measured in MIPS. As
companies increase their MIPS within their mainframe environment, they may elect
to increase or decrease the number of underlying CPU's. Regardless of which
approach is utilized, additional fees are due if the MIPS limit is exceeded.

                  Results of Operations and Financial Condition
                                   (continued)

Substantially all of these transactions include upgrade charges associated with
additional processing capacity beyond the customer's current usage level and
some include license fees for additional products. The fees associated with
future additional mainframe processing capacity typically comprise from one-half
to substantially all of the license fees included in the enterprise license
transaction. The Company has experienced a strong increase in demand from its
largest customers for the right to run its products on increased current and
anticipated mainframe processing capacity as enterprises invest heavily in their
core OS/390 mainframe IT systems. This trend has led to larger single
transactions with higher per MIPS discounts. The Company expects that it will
continue to be dependent upon these capacity-related license revenue components.
With the rapid advancement of distributed systems technology and customers'
needs for more functional and open applications, such as pre-packaged ERP
applications, to replace legacy systems, there can be no assurance that the
demand for mainframe processing capacity or the higher operating efficiencies
afforded by the Company's products will continue at current levels. Should this
trend slow dramatically or reverse, it would adversely impact the Company's
mainframe license revenues and its operating results.

Maintenance and Support Revenues

         Maintenance and support revenues represent the ratable recognition of 
fees to enroll licensed products in the Company's software maintenance, 
enhancement and support program. Enrollment entitles customers to product 
enhancements, technical support services and ongoing compatibility with 
third-party operating systems, database management systems and applications. 
These fees are generally charged annually and equal 15% to 20% of the list 
price of the product at the time of renewal, less any applicable discounts. 
Maintenance revenues also include the ratable recognition of the bundled fees 
for any first-year maintenance services covered by the related perpetual 
license agreement. The Company continues to invest heavily in product 
maintenance and support and believes that maintaining its reputation for 
superior product support is a key component of its value pricing model.

         Maintenance revenues have increased over the last three fiscal years 
as a result of the continuing growth in the base of installed products and the 
processing capacity on which they run. Maintenance fees increase as the 
processing capacity on which the products are installed increases; 
consequently, the Company receives higher absolute maintenance fees as 
customers install its products on additional processing capacity. Due to 
increased discounting at higher levels of additional processing capacity, the 
maintenance fees on a per MIPS basis are typically reduced in enterprise 
license agreements. Historically, the Company has enjoyed high maintenance 
renewal rates for its mainframe-based products. Should customers migrate from 
their mainframe applications or find alternatives to the Company's products, 
increased cancellations could adversely impact the sustainability and growth of 
the Company's maintenance revenues. To date, the Company has been successful in 
extending its traditional maintenance and support pricing model to the 
distributed systems market. At this time, there is insufficient historical data 
to determine whether customers will continue to accept this pricing model and 
renew their maintenance and support contracts at the levels experienced in the 
mainframe market.

Selling And Marketing

     The Company's selling and marketing expenses include personnel and related
costs, sales commissions and costs associated with advertising, industry trade
shows and sales seminars. Personnel costs were the largest single contributor to
the expense growth in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. This increase was
primarily attributable to significant increases in the Company's distributed
systems sales representatives and technical sales support consultants. Sales
commissions increased in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 as a result of the 41%
increase in license revenues. Ongoing commission plan adjustments held sales
commission expense growth below license revenue growth. Marketing costs have
continued to increase to meet the requirements of marketing a greater number of
increasingly complex distributed systems products and of supporting a growing
indirect distribution channel. Other contributors to the increase were
significantly higher levels of travel and trade show activity and the opening of
additional field sales offices.

Research And Development

     Research and development expenses mainly comprise personnel costs related
to software developers and development support personnel, including software
programmers, testing and quality assurance personnel and writers of technical
documentation such as product manuals and installation guides. These expenses
also include computer hardware/software costs and telecommunications expenses
necessary to maintain the Company's data processing center. Increases in the
Company's research and development expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 1999
were the result of increased compensation costs associated with both software
developers and development support personnel, as well as associated benefits and
facilities costs. Research and development costs were reduced by amounts
capitalized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 86. The Company capitalizes its software development costs when the
projects under development reach technological feasibility as defined by SFAS
No. 86. During the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and 1999, the Company
capitalized approximately $9,584,000 and $11,168,000, respectively, of software
development costs. The growth in capitalized costs is primarily due to increases
in new distributed systems product development, the porting of distributed
systems products to alternate environments and in increased integration
development activity.

Cost of Maintenance Services and Product Licenses

     Cost of maintenance services and product licenses consists of amortization
of purchased and internally developed software, costs associated with the
maintenance, enhancement and support of the Company's products and royalty fees.
Growth in the cost of maintenance services and product licenses from the first
quarter of fiscal 1998 to the first quarter of fiscal 1999 was primarily
attributable to increases in customer support employees and purchased software
amortization. Maintenance costs are increasing as a percentage of maintenance
fees as the Company's revenue mix shifts to distributed

systems. The Company amortized $4,693,000 and $3,792,000 in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998 and 1999, respectively, of capitalized software development costs
pursuant to SFAS No. 86. In these periods, the Company expensed $2,900,000 and
$1,094,000, respectively, of capitalized software development costs to
accelerate the amortization of certain software products. These software
products were not expected to generate sufficient future revenues which would be
required for the Company to realize the carrying value of the assets. The
Company expects its cost of maintenance services and product licenses will
continue to increase as the Company capitalizes a higher level of software
development costs and as the Company builds its distributed systems product
support organization, which is less cost-effective than its mainframe support
organization because of the complexity and variability of the environments in
which the products operate. The distributed systems products operate in a high
number of operating environments, including operating systems, DBMSs and ERP
applications and require greater ongoing platform support development activity
relative to the Company's OS/390 mainframe products.

General and Administrative

         General and administrative expenses are comprised primarily of
compensation and personnel costs within executive management, finance and
accounting, product distribution, facilities management and human resources.
Other expenses included in general and administrative expenses are fees paid for
legal and accounting services, consulting projects, insurance and costs of
managing the Company's foreign currency exposure. Growth in general and
administrative expenses from the first quarter of fiscal 1998 to the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 was largely due to increased personnel costs and higher
costs associated with the related infrastructure to support the Company's
growth.

Acquired Research and Development and Related Costs

         The Company incurred acquired in-process research and development
(IPR&D) costs for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1998 of $60,272,000
and $17,304,000, respectively. These technology charges related to the
acquisition of DataTools and acquisitions of in-process technologies.

purchase price allocations for the acquisitions accounted for under the purchase
method for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1998.

         The Company acquired DataTools in May 1997, for an aggregate purchase
price of $73 million. DataTools owns certain Relational Database Management
Systems (RDBMS) specific back-up products that were sold as stand-alone
products. Its' flagship product is called SQL Backtrack (SQL-BT). DataTools was
in the process of developing numerous products and enhanced versions of
products, including next generation versions of SQL-BT for the Informix platform
(SBI) and the Oracle platform (SBO), as well as first generation products for
the Microsoft SQL (SBM) and Sybase IDR (SBS/I) platforms. The Company allocated
approximately $18.6 million of the 


                                       14

<PAGE>   15
purchase price to developed technology, workforce and goodwill. The Company
allocated approximately $54.4 million to acquired IPR&D. The most significant
four specific development projects, which comprised $40.6 million (74%) of the
acquired IPR&D, pertained to the above mentioned projects. The primary remaining
efforts associated with the IPR&D included code completion in several key areas,
such as logical extraction and piecemeal back-up and recovery, large database
support and performance-related functionality. As of the acquisition date, the
expected costs to complete the IPR&D were, on a calendar year basis,
approximately $2.9 million in 1997, $4.7 million in 1998, $2.1 million in 1999,
and $729,000 in 2000. The Company has made significant progress towards the
completion of most of the underlying IPR&D projects. With respect to the
estimated completion costs, the Company is below these forecasted amounts as a
result of decisions to terminate certain of the IPR&D projects (such as the
SBS/I project noted below) and more efficient development efforts than
anticipated. The following summarizes the four primary projects pertaining to
the DataTools IPR&D.

         The Company spent approximately $700,000 through March 31, 1998 on the
SBM product in addition to the approximate $750,000 spent by DataTools prior to
the acquisition. The Company released this product in April 1998.

         The SBO product was released in June 1998 for both the NT and Unix
environments. The IPR&D was successfully completed resulting in new
functionality in several areas, including back-up and recovery scheduling,
remote BU&R, archive log management and a graphical user interface. The Company
spent approximately $1.7 million in completing these technologies subsequent to
the DataTools acquisition.

         BMC abandoned the SBS/I project, on which DataTools had spent
approximately $1 million in research and development. BMC made this decision
based on concerns over market demand and the allocation of Sybase resources to
the core Sybase product. The Company spent less than $500,000 on this technology
prior to deciding to cancel this development project.

         The Company spent approximately $1 million on SBI through March 31,
1998, in addition to the approximate $500,000 spent by DataTools prior to the
transaction. As a result, Version 2.0 of this product was released in April
1998.

         In June 1997, the Company acquired technology from Sento Technical
Innovations, Inc. The Company has since abandoned the technology and expensed
the entire purchase price.

         In the latter part of fiscal 1998, the Company was in the process of
designing a middleware management product to assist customers with optimizing
middleware performance and with handling enterprise environmental changes. In
this regard, in April 1998, the Company acquired a license from Nastel
Technologies, Inc. (Nastel) for certain infrastructure source code for use in
its MQ management product that was under development, but had not yet reached
technological feasibility. Accordingly, the Company allocated the entire $6
million purchase price to IPR&D. BMC completed the acquired IPR&D by creating an
effective installation routine, developing an automated MQ configuration
routine, fortifying the underlying Nastel database and modifying the code to
work in environments with complementary management products. Upon completion of
the IPR&D, the Company completed the initial related product after developing
efficient data collection, user interface and business logic code. The Company
expects to incur approximately $1.6 million in development costs prior to the
planned release of its middleware management product in the third quarter of 
fiscal 1999.

         In June 1998, BMC entered into a technology agreement with Envive
Corporation (Envive) primarily to strengthen BMC's ERP business management
solutions to provide better diagnostic and correlation ability, service level
management and end-to-end monitoring capability. The Company also secured the
rights to distribute certain products in the SAP management market. The
Company's committed costs associated with the transaction approximated $17.7
million. The Company allocated 


                                       15
<PAGE>   16
$6.4 million of the transaction to software assets, prepaid royalties and
interest. The remaining $11.3 million was allocated to acquired IPR&D which had
not reached technological feasibility as of the date of the transaction. The
Company believes the acquired IPR&D is approximately 45% complete towards
development of end-to-end and service level management functionality across the
major ERP platforms, but there is no assurance that it will be successful in
developing such marketable technology. The Company expects costs to complete the
IPR&D will approximate $250,000 in fiscal 1999, $1,900,000 in fiscal 2000 and
$400,000 in fiscal 2001.

         The values assigned to acquired IPR&D in the above mentioned
transactions were generally determined by estimating the costs to develop the
purchased in-process technology into commercially viable products, estimating
the resulting net cash flows from the projects and discounting the net cash
flows to their present value. The revenue projections used to value the acquired
in-process research and development were based on estimates of relevant market
sizes and growth factors, expected trends in technology, and the nature and
expected timing of new product introductions by the Company and its competitors.
Operating expenses were estimated based on historical results and anticipated
profit margins. Due to purchasing power increases and general economies of
scale, estimated operating expenses as a percentage of revenues were, in some
cases, estimated to decrease after the acquisitions.

         The rates utilized to discount the net cash flows to their present
value were based on cost of capital calculations. Due to the nature of the
forecast and risks associated with the projected growth, profitability and the
developmental nature of the projects, discount rates of 16% to 20% were used to
value the acquired IPR&D. These discount rates were commensurate with the
respective stage of development and the uncertainties in the economic estimates
described above. If the acquired IPR&D projects are not successfully completed,
the Company's business, operating results, and financial condition may be
materially adversely affected in future periods. In addition, the value of other
intangible assets acquired may become impaired.

reflecting an increase of 59% over $6,270,000 of other income in the same
quarter of fiscal 1998. Other income consists primarily of interest earned on
tax-exempt municipal securities, euro bonds, corporate bonds, mortgage
securities and money market funds. The increase in other income is primarily due
to an increase of approximately 63% in cash and investment securities from June
30, 1997 to June 30, 1998.

INCOME TAXES

     For the first quarter of fiscal 1999, income tax expense was $21,801,000
compared to $19,085,000 for the same quarter in fiscal 1998. The Company's
income tax expense represents the federal statutory rate of 35%, plus certain
state taxes, reduced by the benefit from the Company's Foreign Sales
Corporation, the effect of tax exempt interest earned from cash investments, the
effect of tax deductions on certain technology acquisitions and foreign income
taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company has financed its growth through funds generated from
operations. As of June 30, 1998, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and
investment securities of $945,327,000.

     The Company did not repurchase any shares on the open market during the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 as its stock repurchase program was rescinded by
the board of directors in connection with the pooling of interests transaction
with BGS Systems, Inc. As of June 30, 1998, the Company has authorization from
its Board of Directors, to acquire up to 3,764,800 shares of its common stock
pursuant to the Company's stock repurchase program.

     The Company believes that existing cash balances and funds generated from
operations will be sufficient to meet its liquidity requirements for the
foreseeable future.

B. CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT COULD AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS.

     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial
Condition contain certain forward looking statements within the meaning of
Sections 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Act of 1934, as amended, which are identified by the use of the words
"believes," "expects," "anticipates," "will," "contemplates" and "would" and
similar expressions that contemplate future events. Numerous important factors,
risks and uncertainties affect the Company's operating results and could cause
the Company's actual results to differ materially from the results implied by
these or any other forward looking statements made by, or on behalf, of the
Company. There can be no assurance that future results will meet expectations.
These important factors, risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited
to, those described in the following paragraphs and in the discussion in the
Company's March 31, 1998 Annual Report under the heading 


                                       17

                                  (continued)


"Business," including, without limitation, the discussion under the subheading
"Competition, System Dependence."

     The Company's stock price has historically been highly volatile. Future
revenues, earnings and stock prices may be subject to wide swings in response to
variations in operating and financial results, anticipated revenue and/or
earnings growth rates, competitive pressures and other factors. The stock price
of software companies in general, and the Company in particular, is based on
expectations of sustained future revenue and earnings growth rates. Any failure
to meet anticipated revenue and earnings levels in a period or any negative
change in the Company's perceived long-term growth prospects would likely have a
significant adverse effect on the Company's stock price. The growth rates of the
Company's license revenues, total revenues, net earnings and earnings per share,
excluding charges for acquired research and development and merger costs, have
accelerated over the last 24 months. The Company's current valuation reflects
expectations based on these higher rates of growth. The Company may not achieve,
in future periods, these relatively higher rates of growth.

     The timing and amount of the Company's license revenues are subject to a
number of factors that make estimation of operating results prior to the end of
a quarter extremely uncertain. The Company generally operates with little or no
sales backlog and, as a result, license revenues in any quarter are dependent
upon contracts entered into or orders booked and shipped in that quarter. Most
of the Company's mainframe and distributed systems license sales are closed at
the end of each quarter, and there has been and continues to be a trend toward
larger enterprise license transactions, which can have sales cycles of up to a
year or more and require approval by a customer's upper management. These
transactions are typically difficult to manage and predict. Failure to close an
expected individually significant transaction could cause the Company's revenues
and earnings in a period to fall short of expectations. Other factors that may
cause significant fluctuations in the Company's quarterly revenues include
competition, industry or technological trends, customer budgetary decisions,
mainframe processing capacity growth, general economic conditions or
uncertainties, mainframe industry pricing and other trends, announcements of new
hardware or software products, the timing of price increases and the factors
described in this section of the Form 10-Q. The Company generally does not know
whether revenues and earnings will meet expected results until the final days or
day of a quarter.

     The Company derived approximately 72% of its total revenues in fiscal 1998
from software products for IBM and IBM-compatible mainframe computers;
approximately 54% of total revenues and a higher percentage of earnings were
contributed by the Company's high availability utilities for IMS and DB2
administration products. IBM continues to focus on reducing the overall software
costs associated with the OS/390 mainframe platform. Further, IBM continues,
directly and through third parties, to improve its base and enhanced utilities
for IMS and DB2 to provide lower cost alternatives to those provided by the
Company and other independent software vendors. IBM has significantly increased
its level of activity in the IMS and DB2 high speed utility markets over the
last twelve months. The Company has traditionally maintained sufficient
performance and functional advantages over 


                                       18

IBM's base utilities to justify its pricing differential although there can be
no assurance that it will continue to maintain such advantages.

     Fees from enterprise license transactions remain fundamental components of
the Company's revenues and the primary source of mainframe revenues. These
revenues depend on the Company's customers' continuing to perceive an increasing
need to use the Company's existing software products on substantially greater
mainframe processing capacity in future periods. The Company believes that the
demand for enterprise licenses has been driven by customers' recommitment over
the last 24 to 36 months to the OS/390 mainframe platform for large scale,
transaction intensive information systems. Whether this trend will continue is
difficult to predict. If the Company's customers' processing capacity growth
were too slow and/or if such customers were to perceive less relative benefit
from the Company's current mainframe products, the Company's revenues would be
adversely affected.

     The charging of upgrade fees based on CPU tier classifications is standard
among mainframe systems software vendors, including IBM. While the Company
believes its current pricing policies properly reflect the value provided by its
products, the pricing of mainframe systems software is under constant pressure
from customers and competitive vendors, including IBM. IBM continues to reduce
the costs of its mainframe systems software to increase the overall cost
competitiveness of its mainframe hardware and software products. IBM also
generally charges significantly less for its software products. These actions
continue to increase pricing pressures within the mainframe systems software
markets. The Company has continued to reduce the cost of its mainframe tools and
utilities in response to these and other competitive pressures.

     The Company's operating expenses are to a large extent fixed in the short
term so that the Company has very limited ability to adjust its planned expenses
if revenues fail to meet expectations. If near-term demand for the Company's
products weakens in a given quarter or if forecasted large transactions fail to
close, there would likely be an immediate, material adverse effect on net
revenues and operating results and a resultant drop in its stock price.

     The Company's operating margins (exclusive of charges for acquired research
and development and merger costs) have ranged between 39% and 40% for fiscal
years ended March 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, which is at the high-end of the range
for peer companies. The Company does not expect future margin expansion.
Further, since research and development, sales, support and distribution costs
for distributed systems software products are higher than for mainframe
products, operating margins will experience more pressure as the mix of the
Company's business continues its shift to distributed systems revenues.

     The Company has historically realized greater revenues and net earnings in
the latter half of its fiscal year; the quarter ending December 31 coincides
with the end of customers' annual budgetary periods and the quarter ending March
31 coincides with the end of the Company's annual sales plans and fiscal year.
For the same reasons, the Company has typically reported lower or flat revenues
in

the first two quarters of a fiscal year compared to the last two quarters of the
previous year, resulting in lower operating margins in the first two quarters.
The Company historically has generated greater revenues in the third and fourth
quarters while maintaining lower rates of expense growth and expanded operating
margins in the first two quarters. Past financial performance is not a reliable
indicator of future performance, and there can be no assurance that this pattern
will be maintained.

     Future operating results are also dependent on sustained performance by the
Company's international offices, particularly its European operations. Revenue
growth by the Company's European operations has been slower than revenue growth
in North America. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful
in accelerating the revenue growth of its European operations. The Company's
operations and financial results internationally could be significantly
adversely affected by several risks such as changes in foreign currency exchange
rates, sluggish regional economic conditions and difficulties in staffing and
managing international operations. Many systems and applications software
vendors are experiencing difficulties internationally. In particular, the recent
Asian economic crisis has resulted in customer budget cuts and financial
uncertainty. Less than 5% of the Company's revenues are generated in the Pacific
Rim region.

     In fiscal 1998, the Company announced several executive management and
organizational changes involving its Chief Operating Officer, Senior Vice
President, Research and Development, and Senior Vice President, European Sales.
The Company may make other management and organizational changes in the future.
Organizational and management changes are intended to enhance competitiveness,
productivity and execution; however, there can be no assurance that they will
produce the desired results.

     The Company's growth prospects depend heavily on the continued success of
its existing distributed systems products, including PATROL, the recently
acquired BGS and DataTools products and those anticipated to be introduced in
the future. The distributed systems and application management markets in which
the Company operates are emerging, fragmented and highly competitive. The
Company has experienced long development cycles and product delays in the past,
particularly with certain of its distributed systems products, and expects to
have delays in the future. Delays in new mainframe or distributed systems
product introductions or less-than-anticipated market acceptance of these new
products are possible and would have an adverse affect on the Company's revenues
and earnings. New products or new versions of existing products may, despite
testing, contain undetected errors or bugs that will delay the introduction or
adversely affect commercial acceptance of such products. The enterprise systems
management market that the Company's distributed systems products address is
characterized by rapid change and intense competition that continues to increase
as vendors within the broader markets converge. Certain of the Company's
competitors and potential competitors have significantly greater financial,
technical, sales and marketing resources than the Company and greater experience
in distributed systems development and sales. A key factor in determining the
success of the Company's products, particularly its

                                       20

distributed systems offerings, will be their ability to interoperate and perform
well with existing and future leading database management systems and other
systems software products supported by the Company's products. Maintaining this
interoperability has greatly increased the complexity and cost of the Company's
product development and support activities. While the Company believes its
products that address this market, including those under development, will
compete effectively, this market will be relatively unpredictable over the next
few years and there can be no assurance that anticipated results will be
achieved.

     When the Company acquired BGS, it also announced its ASA strategy. The ASA
strategy contemplates the development of solutions suites that will ensure the
availability, performance and recoverability of an ERP, DBMS or operating
system. These solution suites will contain several of the Company's existing
products as well as those acquired in the BGS acquisition. The Company intends
to design these solution suites to provide customers with a common look and feel
for all included products. There can be no assurance that these integration
efforts involving separate and distinct products, including those acquired from
BGS, will be successful. Also, given the recent announcement of this strategy,
the Company cannot predict its acceptance by customers.

     With the acquisition of DataTools in May 1997 and BGS in March 1998, the
Company has initiated efforts to integrate the disparate cultures, employees,
systems and products. In both acquisitions, retention of key employees is
critical to ensure the continued advancement, development, support, sales and
marketing efforts pertaining to the acquired products. The Company has
implemented retention programs to keep many of the key technical, sales and
marketing employees. The Company has also elected to retain the principal
offices of both DataTools and BGS and has reorganized the management structure
at both of these locations. The Company has not historically managed
significant, fully staffed business units at locations different from the
Company's headquarters. As a result, the Company may experience additional
difficulties in integrating its management policies and practices into
DataTool's and BGS's operations. The Company has lost key employees that were
acquired in these acquisitions, especially at DataTools. The loss of the key
employees to date has not been detrimental to the Company's product integration
plans, although further losses could cause the product integrations to be
significantly delayed. Integration of DataTools SQL-BackTrack products is
critical to the completion of the Company's backup, recovery, and restoration
strategy. As noted above, integration of BGS's BEST/1 products with PATROL is
also critically important to the ASA Strategy. Successful integration of these
complex software products having different origins is difficult to predict and
achieve. There can be no assurance that these product integrations will meet
expectations or be successful.

     Microsoft has continued its focus on developing operating systems, systems
management products and databases that will provide "business-critical" levels
of functionality and reliability. Specifically, Microsoft is aggressively
promoting its BackOffice family of software products, including its MS Windows
NT operating system and its SQL Server relational database management systems,
as lower cost alternatives to the Unix operating systems coupled with relational
database management systems from Oracle, Sybase, Informix and other vendors.
Microsoft has significantly lower software

price points in some of the Company's markets, which could place additional
pricing pressure on the Company. Further, Microsoft could choose to develop
competing products for use within MS Windows NT environments. The Company has
invested and intends to continue to invest in the development of systems
management products for MS Windows NT and BackOffice environments, but there are
numerous uncertainties associated with the Company's ability to successfully
execute this strategy.

     Litigation seeking to enforce patents, copyrights and trade secrets is
increasing in the software industry. There can be no assurance that third
parties will not assert that their patent or other proprietary rights are
violated by products offered by the Company. Any such claims, with or without
merit, can be time consuming and expensive to defend and could have an adverse
effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial position and
cash flows.

     The Company recognizes the need to ensure its operations will not be
adversely impacted by the Year 2000. Software failures due to processing errors
potentially arising from calculations using the Year 2000 date are a known risk.
The Company is designing and testing the most current versions of its products
to process Year 2000 data without interruption or errors and believes that these
versions are substantially Year 2000 compliant. The Company may experience
migration costs for customers who are not running current versions of its
products. The Company is continually testing its products to ensure Year 2000
support and compliance; there can be no assurance, however, that despite such
testing, undetected errors or defects will not exist that could cause a product
to fail to process Year 2000 data correctly. The Company's products are
typically used in high volume information systems that are critical to a
customer's operations, so that business interruptions, loss or corruption of
data or other major problems could have significant adverse consequences to the
customer. At this time, the Company is not aware of any material operational
issues or costs associated with Year 2000 compliance of its own products.

     The Company is also addressing the Year 2000 risk to the availability,
integrity and the reliability of its own internal information systems. The
Company has a low volume of transactions and operates within a modern
infrastructure. Accordingly, the Company does not believe that the cost of Year
2000 remediation will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations or financial condition. There are no assurances, however, that there
will not be a delay in, or increased cost associated with, the implementation of
such changes, and the Company's inability to implement such changes could have
an adverse effect on future results of operations. Factors that could cause
unusual costs and delays include the availability and cost of personnel trained
in this area, the ability to locate and correct all relevant computer code and
other uncertainties.

     The European Union's adoption of the euro single currency raises a variety
of issues associated with the Company's European operations. Although the
transition will be phased in over several years, the euro will become Europe's
single currency on January 1, 1999. The Company is assessing euro issues related
to its product pricing, contracts, treasury operations and accounting systems.
Although the evaluation of these items is still in process, the Company believes
that the hardware and software systems it uses internally will accommodate this
transition and any required policy or operating changes will not have a material
adverse effect on future results.
