                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 
JUNE 30, 1997

Total revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 were $338.6 million, an
increase of $114.1 million, or 50.8%, as compared to $224.5 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 1998. The Company experienced an increase in license
fees, maintenance fees, and professional services fees during the three months
ended June 30, 1998.

Software license fees increased $52.3 million, or 68.7%, to $128.6 million in
the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $76.3 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998. Almost all of the Company's product families experienced growth in
license fees, with the largest percentage increase in its client/server testing
and implementation and mainframe testing and implementation products.

Maintenance fee revenues increased $18.4 million, or 32.6%, to $74.7 million in
the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $56.3 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998. The Company continues to experience growth in maintenance fees for
all of its product families due to the growth in the number of installed copies
of its products.

Revenues from professional services increased $43.4 million, or 47.2%, to $135.3
million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $91.9 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998. All of the Company's professional services offices
experienced growth in revenues. The overall increase was due primarily to
increased business at new and existing clients equal to $8.7 million, $5.9
million and $4.6 million, at the Company's Farmington Hills, Michigan,
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Columbus, Ohio branches, respectively.

Cost of software license fees increased $1.8 million, or 37.5%, to $6.6 million
in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $4.8 million during the same period of
fiscal 1998. As a percentage of software license fees, these costs decreased to
5.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from 6.3% for the same period in fiscal
1998.

Cost of maintenance increased $2.2 million, or 30.5%, to $9.3 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $7.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal
1998. As a percentage of maintenance fees, these costs decreased to 12.4% in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 from 12.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 1998.

Cost of professional services increased $31.9 million, or 39.5%, to $112.7
million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $80.8 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998. The increase in these expenses was due primarily to the
growth in the professional staff by 964 to 4,766 people at the end of the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 from 3,802 at the end of the same period in fiscal 1998.
As a percentage of professional services fees, these costs decreased to 83.3% in
the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from 87.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.

Software product development costs increased $1.8 million or 12.9%, to $15.3
million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $13.6 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998. Before the capitalization of internally developed
software products, total research and development expenditures increased $2.2
million to $18.2 million, or 13.6%, in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from
$16.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. Capitalized research and
development expenditures as a percentage of total software product development
costs increased to 15.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from 15.2% in the
first quarter of fiscal 1998.

Sales and marketing costs increased $30.7 million, or 46.2%, to $96.9 million in
the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $66.2 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998. The increase in sales and marketing costs was due primarily to the
expansion of the worldwide sales and marketing organizations, increased
Corporate advertising expense, and higher sales commissions associated with
increased product sales. As a percentage of license fees, these costs decreased
to 75.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from 86.9% in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Administrative and general costs increased $3.1 million, or 26.0%, to $15.0
million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $11.9 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998. The increase in these costs was due primarily to the
increase in the costs of administration, corporate communications and employee
development programs in order to support the Company's growth. As a percentage
of total revenue, these costs decreased to 4.4% in the first quarter of fiscal
1999 from 5.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.

Income from operations for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 was $82.8 million,
as compared to income from operations of $40.0 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998. As a percentage of revenues, income from operations increased to
24.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from 17.8% in the same period of
fiscal 1998.

Net interest and investment income for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 was $5.8
million as compared to $2.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. This
increase in income was due primarily to higher average cash balances in the
fiscal 1999 period as compared to the fiscal 1998 period.

In the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company had an income tax provision of
$29.8 million, as compared to an income tax provision of $14.1 million, in the
first quarter of fiscal 1998. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of
fiscal 1999 is 33.6%, as compared to 33.3% for the first quarter of fiscal 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 1998, the Company held $466.1 million in cash and investments.
The Company has no debt other than the $4.5 million of notes issued as part of
prior years' acquisitions.

The Company continues to evaluate business acquisition opportunities that fit
the Company's strategic plans.

The Company believes that its available cash resources, together with cash flow
from operations will be sufficient to meet its cash needs for the foreseeable
future.
