NOTE 4 - ACQUISITIONS

In June 1999, the Company extended a cash tender offer to purchase all
outstanding shares of common stock of Data Processing Resources Corporation
("DPRC"), a professional services company, for approximately $501 million in
cash. This amount includes $115 million of DPRC subordinated debt. At the
expiration of the tender offer period, July 28, 1999, more than 93 percent of
the outstanding common shares of DPRC were tendered, exceeding the 91 percent
minimum tender condition. The Company and COMP Acquisition Co., its wholly-owned
subsidiary, will complete the acquisition of DPRC pursuant to the "short-form"
merger provisions of California law. The acquisition will be accounted for under
the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the operating results of
DPRC will be included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from
the date of acquisition. Excess purchase price over fair market value of the
underlying assets (goodwill) of approximately $404 million will be amortized
over 20 years.

The pro forma results include the amortization of the goodwill and interest
expense on debt assumed to finance the purchase. These amounts do not reflect
any benefit from the anticipated reduction in costs for certain corporate
functions from combined operations. The pro forma results are not necessarily
indicative of what actually would have occurred if the acquisition had been
completed as of the beginning of each of the fiscal periods presented, nor are
they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results.

In May 1999, the Company acquired Reliant Data Systems, a privately held
developer of data migration software, for approximately $10.4 million in cash.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, assets
and liabilities acquired have been recorded at fair value as of the date of
acquisition.

NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

VIASOFT ACQUISITION

On July 15, 1999, the Company and Viasoft, Inc. announced they entered into an
agreement for Compuware to acquire Viasoft through a cash tender offer. A wholly
owned subsidiary of Compuware has offered to purchase any and all outstanding
shares of Viasoft's common stock for $9 per share, for total consideration of
$168 million. The acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. It is expected that the purchase price will be funded by cash on
hand and borrowings under a credit facility that was finalized in August 1999.
On August 3, 1999, the U.S. Department of Justice requested additional
information in connection with its review of the proposed acquisition. The
Company is currently in the process of preparing a response to the Department.

CREDIT FACILITY

In August 1999, the Company entered into a four year unsecured credit agreement
with several major financial institutions for $900 million. Proceeds from the
credit facility will be used to finance the acquisition of DPRC and Viasoft. The
remaining amount under the credit facility will be used for future acquisitions
and working capital requirements. Interest may be determined on a Eurodollar or
prime rate basis at the Company's option. The credit agreement contains
restrictive covenants and requires commitment fees in accordance with standard
banking practice. As of August 10, 1999, the Company had $300 million
outstanding under the credit arrangement.

The Company's $30 million revolving bank credit facility was terminated
concurrently with the signing of the new credit facility.

                     COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The Company operates in two business segments in the software industry: products
and professional services.

PRODUCTS REVENUE

The Company's products are designed to support three key activities within the
application development process: building, testing and managing the application
to optimize performance in production. Products revenue consists of software
license fees and maintenance fees. Products revenue comprised 58.4% and 60.0% of
total Company revenue during the first quarter of fiscal years 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Mainframe product revenue increased $50.0 million or 29.5%, to
$219.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 from $169.3 million
during the first quarter of fiscal year 1999. Client/server revenue increased
$5.4 million or 15.7%, to $39.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal year
2000 from $34.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 1999. These
increases were primarily a result of sales to customers who increased their CPU
size or MIPS operating capacity during the quarter.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES REVENUE

The Company offers a broad range of data processing professional services,
including business systems analysis, design and programming, software conversion
and system planning and consulting. Professional services revenue comprised
41.6% and 40.0% of total Company revenue during the first quarter of fiscal
years 2000 and 1999, respectively. Revenue from professional services increased
$49.1 million, or 36.3%, to $184.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal
year 2000 from $135.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 1999. More
than 85% of the Company's total professional services revenue is generated in
the United States; however, these increases spanned all geographic regions. The
Company plans to continue this growth naturally and through acquisitions both in
the United States and internationally.

</TABLE>

The products segment generated operating margins of 48.2% and 37.0% during the
first quarter of fiscal year 2000 and 1999, respectively. Products expenses
include cost of software license fees, cost of maintenance, software product
development costs and sales and marketing expenses. The increase in the
operating margins quarter over quarter is primarily a result of economies
associated with larger sales volumes, more sales representatives in the field
with increased sales productivity, additional product offerings, and increased
market penetration of our client/server products.

Cost of software license fees includes amortization of capitalized software, the
cost of preparing and disseminating products to customers and the cost of author
royalties. Cost of software license fees decreased $0.7 million, or 10.2%, to
$5.9 million in the first quarter of 2000 from $6.6 million in the first quarter
of 1999. The decrease in these costs is due primarily to a decrease in
amortization of internally developed software products, decreased author
royalties and decreased packaging and distribution costs. As a percentage of
software license fees, these costs were 3.7% and 5.1% in the first quarter of
fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Cost of maintenance consists of the cost of maintenance programmers and product
support personnel and the computing, facilities and benefits costs allocated to
such personnel. Cost of maintenance increased $1.1 million, or 11.9%, to $10.4
million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 from $9.3 million in the first
quarter of fiscal year 1999. The increase in cost of maintenance was due
primarily to the increase in maintenance and support staff in order to support
the worldwide growth of the installed base. However, as a percentage of
maintenance fees, these costs were 10.6% and 12.4% for the first quarter of
fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company will continue to look for
ways to reduce this percentage while maintaining superior service levels and
high renewal rates.

Software product development costs consist of the cost of programming personnel,
the facilities, computing and benefits costs allocated to such personnel and the
costs of preparing user and installation guides for the Company's software
products, less the amount of software development costs capitalized during the
period. Software product development costs increased $2.0 million or 13.1%, to
$17.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 from $15.3 million in the
first quarter of fiscal year 1999. The increase in these costs was due primarily
to an increase in software development staff needed to meet the demand for new
and enhanced products. While continuing to support and enhance its traditional
mainframe products, the Company has significantly increased the resources
allocated to developing and enhancing its client/server product lines. Before
the capitalization of internally developed software products, total research and
development expenditures for the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 increased
$2.3 million, or 12.9%, to $20.5 million from $18.2 million in first quarter of
fiscal year 1999. Capitalized research and development expenditures as a
percentage of total software product development costs decreased to 15.4% in the
first quarter of fiscal year 2000 from 15.6% in the first quarter of fiscal year
1999.

Sales and marketing costs consist of the sales and marketing expenses associated
with the Company's products business, which include costs of direct sales, sales
support and marketing staff, the facilities and benefits costs allocated to such
personnel and the costs of marketing and sales incentive programs. Sales and
marketing costs increased $3.4 million or 3.6%, to $100.3 million in the first
quarter of fiscal year 2000 from $96.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal
year 1999. As a percentage of license fees, these costs were 62.3% and 75.3% for
the first quarter of fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase in
sales and marketing costs was largely attributable to the expansion of the
worldwide sales force and increased travel related expenditures, offset by
reductions in commissions paid to third parties, reduced expenditures for the
corporate advertising campaign and currency gains on international accounts
receivable. The direct sales and sales support staff increased by 349 to 2,312
people at the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2000, as compared to 1,963
at the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 1999.

                     COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The professional services segment generated operating margins of 14.0% and 16.7%
during the first quarter of fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
decrease in the professional services margin is primarily attributable to
increased allocations of costs of corporate systems and to additional billable
staff temporarily off assignment. Cost of professional services includes all
costs of the Company's professional services business, including the personnel
costs of the professional, management and administrative staff of the Company's
services business and the facilities and benefits costs allocated to such
personnel. Cost of professional services increased $45.8 million, or 40.6%, to
$158.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 from $112.7 million in
the first quarter of fiscal year 1999. The increase in these expenses was due
primarily to an increase of 1,712 professional billable staff to 6,478 in the
first quarter of fiscal year 2000 from 4,766 people at the end of the first
quarter of fiscal year 1999, increase in sub-contractor costs, and to a lesser
extent, increases in employee training and development costs and an increase in
travel related expenditures.

Administrative and general expenses decreased $0.3 million, or 2.3%, to $14.7
million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 from $15.0 million in the first
quarter of fiscal year 1999. As a percentage of total revenue, these expenses
continue to decrease to 3.3% and 4.4% of total revenue during the first quarter
of fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively. These decreases are primarily a
result of increased revenues with no significant changes in corporate
expenditures.

The Company's provision for income taxes was $51.0 million in the first quarter
of fiscal year 2000, which represents an effective tax rate of 36.0%. This
compares to a tax provision of $29.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year
1999, which represents an effective tax rate of 33.6%. The increase in the
effective tax rate was due primarily to the growth in pre-tax earnings, which
dilutes the effect of the tax credits on the effective tax rates and the
non-deductibility of goodwill amortization related to recent acquisitions.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 1999, the Company had approximately $366.2 million in cash and
investments which resulted primarily from cash generated from operations. During
the first quarter of fiscal years 2000 and 1999, Compuware generated $63.4
million and $104.2 million, respectively, in operating cash flow. During these
periods, the Company had capital expenditures which included property and
equipment, capitalized research and software development and purchased software
of $8.7 million and $8.6 million, respectively.

In March 1999, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a
stock repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company was authorized to
purchase up to $500 million of outstanding Company stock. The Company purchased
approximately 21.5 million shares representing the entire $500 million
authorized by the Board for this program. These shares were purchased ratably
from March through May 1999.

On June 24, 1999, Compuware announced it had entered into an agreement to
purchase all outstanding shares of common stock of Data Processing Resources
Corporation for an aggregate cash expenditure of $501 million. This amount
includes $115 million of DPRC subordinated debt. In August 1999, Compuware
entered into a four year unsecured credit

agreement for $900 million with several major financial institutions. The
purchase of DPRC will be funded by cash on hand and borrowings under the credit
agreement (See Notes 4 and 6).

On July 15, 1999, the Company and Viasoft, Inc. announced they entered into an
agreement for Compuware to acquire Viasoft through a cash tender offer. A wholly
owned subsidiary of Compuware has offered to purchase any and all outstanding
shares of Viasoft's common stock for $9 per share, for total consideration of
$168 million. The acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. It is expected that the purchase price will be funded by cash on
hand and borrowings under the credit facility. On August 3, 1999, the U.S.
Department of Justice requested additional information in connection with its
review of the proposed acquisition. The Company is currently in the process of
preparing a response to the Department.


RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133 establishes methods of accounting
for derivative financial instruments and hedging activities related to those
instruments as well as other hedging activities. In July 1999, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -
Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133", which requires the
Company to adopt this statement with its fiscal year ending March 31, 2001. The
Company has not determined the effect, if any, that adoption will have on its
financial position or results of operations.

YEAR 2000

The Year 2000 problem is the result of the widespread practice of using only two
digits instead of four to represent the year in computing equipment and computer
software. Failure to address this problem could cause erroneous results in the
proper interpretation of years after 1999. The Company has instituted various
projects to address this issue which include three major areas: the software
products which the Company develops and markets, its internal information
technology (IT) assets, and aspects not directly related to the Company's IT
assets or software products ("non-IT assets"). This last area includes such
items as embedded systems in infrastructure components (such as building
security and HVAC systems), as well as the business relationships the Company
has with its customers and suppliers, especially those third parties with whom
the Company has a systems interaction.

The Company undertook a project to inventory and assess the impact of the Year
2000 on its software products in the middle of 1994. As a part of this project
the Company identified the software products that would be supported beyond
December 31, 1999. Plans were put in place to complete the necessary changes to
make the identified software products Year 2000 compliant. The Company believes
that all of the Company's current product offerings as well as those products
the Company will continue to support are Year 2000 compliant.

The Company has established a web page to update customers on the Year 2000
status of the software products. This site assists the customers in
understanding the Year 2000 strategy.

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


Part of the site gives customers access to frequently asked Year 2000 questions.
The Company is committed to supporting its customers into the year 2000 and
beyond. The strategy provides leadership and tools needed to meet the challenge
of the millennium change.

The Company has undertaken a project to inventory, assess and remediate its
significant internal software applications and other IT assets. Many of these
applications are essential for day-to-day operations. The Company believes it
has completed remediation, testing, and implementation for all critical
software. The remediation and testing activities have been performed exclusively
by internal resources.

The Company is also in the process of assessing and remediating its other IT and
non-IT assets. These include areas such as PCs, networks, voice mail, e-mail,
building security, etc. This portion of the project is planned for completion by
October 1, 1999, and appears to be on schedule.

The Company has also undertaken a project to identify and assess its significant
third-party suppliers, and is developing a plan to address vendor or supplier
Year 2000 issues (through remediation, repair, replacement or upgrade) so as to
avoid any business disruption. In most cases, the Company is forced to rely on
third party representations, without any ability to do independent testing or
evaluation. Contingency plans are being developed for certain key third parties
which are deemed to be critical for the Company's operation. Based upon the
information received to date, the company does not expect any material financial
impacts from third party vendors. Embedded systems and other non-IT systems are
being evaluated for Year 2000 compliance, and being repaired or replaced as
necessary.

The costs for Year 2000-related activities are being budgeted as necessary.
Costs of the Company's Year 2000 compliance activities have not had and are not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or
financial position. This expectation assumes that the Company will not be
obligated to incur significant Year 2000 related costs on behalf of its
customers or suppliers, and that the Company's critical vendors will be able to
meet their commitments to the Company. The Company cannot predict, however, the
effects on the Company of Year 2000-related difficulties of its business
partners, vendors and customers.

The Company believes it will be adequately prepared to meet the challenges of
the coming of Year 2000 without significant impact to the Company's ability to
carry on its normal business operations. Management estimates that it is
approximately 95% complete with all remediation efforts as of June 30, 1999,
which includes 100% completion of all critical business systems and supported
software products. The balance of the efforts yet to be expended are in the
areas of non-IT assets, monitoring supplier compliance, and contingency
planning.
