NOTE 4 - ACQUISITION

In May 2000, the Company acquired Nomex, Inc. (Nomex), a privately held provider
of web design and development services located in Montreal, Canada, for
approximately $8.9 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. The amount by which the acquisition
cost exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired was approximately $8.2
million and is being amortized over a 10-year period on a straight-line basis.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT


Compuware Corporation:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Compuware Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2000, and
the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for
the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to such condensed consolidated financial statements for them to be in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of the
Company as of March 31, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of income,
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein); and in our report dated May 1, 2000, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of March 31, 2000 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to
the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

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


This discussion contains certain forward looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are identified by the use of
the words "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "will," "contemplates," "would"
and similar expressions that contemplate future events. Numerous important
factors, risks and uncertainties affect the Company's operating results,
including without limitation those contained in this report, 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.

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 four key activities within the
application development process: development and integration, quality assurance,
production readiness and performance management of the application to optimize
performance in production. Products revenue consists of software license fees
and maintenance fees and comprised 48.0% and 58.4% of total Company revenue
during the first quarter of fiscal years 2001 and 2000, respectively. S/390
product revenue (mainframe revenue) decreased $12.6 million or 5.8% during the
first quarter of fiscal year 2001 to $206.7 million from $219.3 million during
the first quarter of fiscal year 2000. Revenue from distributed software
products increased $0.7 million or 1.9% during the first quarter of fiscal year
2001 to $40.1 million from $39.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal year
2000. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2001, multi-year transactions greater
than $5 million represented approximately 30% of license revenue.

For more than five years, the Company has supported clients with product
transactions covering multiple years and allowing deferred payment terms. The
contract price is allocated between maintenance for the term of the deal and
license revenue. All license revenue associated with these contracts is
recognized when the customer commits unconditionally to the transaction and the
software has been shipped to the customer. When the license portion is paid over

of fiscal year 2001 to $267.1 million from $184.4 million during the first
quarter of fiscal year 2000. The acquisition of DPRC in August 1999 contributed
significantly to this increase. The Company's North American operations
generated 91.6% and 88.8% of total professional services revenue during the
first quarter of fiscal years, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Combined
international services revenue increased $1.7 million or 8.5% during the first
quarter of fiscal year 2001 to $22.3 million from $20.6 million during the first
quarter of fiscal year 2000.

</TABLE>

The products segment generated operating margins of 33.4% and 48.2% during the
first quarter of fiscal years 2001 and 2000, respectively. Products expenses
include cost of software license fees, cost of maintenance, software product
development costs, and sales and marketing expenses. The decrease in operating
margin is primarily a result of a decrease in software licenses as well as an
increase in software product development costs, more sales representatives in
the field associated with additional product offerings and increases in cost of
software license fees.

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. The increase in these costs is due primarily to an increase in
amortization of capitalized software products, the majority of which relates to
the Programart acquisition, increases in author royalties and increased
packaging and distribution costs. As a percentage of software license fees, cost
of software license fees were 8.0% and 3.7% in the first quarter of fiscal years
2001 and 2000, respectively.

                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                                   (continued)

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. 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. As a percentage of maintenance fees, these costs
were 11.3% and 10.6% for the first quarter of fiscal years 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

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
fiscal year. 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 S/390
products, the Company has significantly increased the resources allocated to
developing and enhancing its distributed software products. Before the
capitalization of internally developed software products, total research and
development expenditures for the first quarter of fiscal year 2001 increased
$7.1 million, or 34.5%, to $27.6 million from $20.5 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 2000.

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. The increase
in sales and marketing costs was largely attributable to the expansion of the
worldwide sales force and increased allocations of costs of corporate systems,
offset, in part, by decreased advertising expenditures. The direct sales and
sales support staff increased by 450 to 2,762 people at the end of the first
quarter of fiscal year 2001, as compared to 2,312 at the end of the first
quarter of fiscal year 2000.

                                   (CONTINUED)


During the first quarter of fiscal year 2001, the professional services segment
generated a negative operating margin of 2.5% compared to a positive 14.0%
during the first quarter of fiscal year 2000, and a negative 8.4% during the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2000. The decrease in the professional services
operating margin is primarily attributable to billable staff currently off
assignment, increased use of subcontractors for special services and increased
allocations of costs of corporate systems. While off assignment, billable staff
are participating in training programs focused on e-commerce and distributed
software systems to better meet anticipated client needs in the future. 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. The increase in these expenses was
due primarily to an increase of 2,678 professional billable staff, primarily
associated with the DPRC acquisition, to 9,156 in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2001 from 6,478 people at the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2000.

Administrative and general expenses increased $20.0 million, or 136.4%, during
the first quarter of fiscal year 2001 to $34.7 million from $14.7 million during
the first quarter of fiscal year 2000. The increase in administrative and
general expenses was primarily attributable to goodwill amortization expense
(see Note 5) and charges against investments in joint ventures.

Net interest and investment income (expense) for the first quarter of fiscal
year 2001 was ($2.8) million as compared to $5.8 million in the first quarter of
fiscal year 2000. This decrease in net interest and investment income is
primarily attributable to interest expense associated with debt outstanding
under the $900 million Senior Credit Facility discussed in the Liquidity and
Capital Resources section below.

The Company's provision for income taxes was $14.5 million in the first quarter
of fiscal year 2001, which represents an effective tax rate of 38.0%. This
compares to a tax provision of $51.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year
2000, which represents an effective tax rate of 36.0%. The increase in the
effective tax rate is due to nondeductible goodwill amortization associated with
certain acquisitions and a shift of our state apportionment to states with
higher corporate income tax rates.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2000, the Company had approximately $264.2 million in cash and
investments, which is slightly higher than the $250 million level the Company
has committed to maintaining while utilizing the $900 million Senior Credit
Facility. During the first quarter of fiscal years 2001 and 2000, the Company
generated $46.8 million and $45.9 million, respectively, in operating cash flow.
During these periods, the Company had capital expenditures that included
property and equipment, capitalized research and software development, and
purchased software of $12.2 million and $8.7 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2000 the Company had $419.0 million in long-term debt
representing borrowings under the $900 million Senior Credit Facility entered
into on August 31, 1999. This reflects net payments of $31.0 million during the
first quarter of fiscal year 2001. As of June 30, 1999, the Company had no
long-term debt.

                                   (CONTINUED)

In accordance with its strategic growth plans, the Company completed the
following acquisitions since the beginning of fiscal year 2001:

On May 10, 2000, the Company acquired Nomex, Inc., a privately held provider of
web design and development services located in Montreal, Canada, for $8.9
million.

On July 25, 2000, the Company announced that it had acquired substantially all
the assets and certain liabilities of Optimal Networks Corporation for $5.0
million. This acquisition will strengthen the Company's existing EcoSystems
product lines.

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

The Company has announced plans to build an office tower with a current
estimated cost of $350.0 million within the City of Detroit. These cash outlays
will have no impact on the results of operations until the building is occupied
in the fall 2002, at which point, the amortization will result in an annual
expense of $11.7 million. Capital expenditures to date are approximately $4.9
million. Cash outlays for the remainder of fiscal year 2001 are expected to be
$60.0 million.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued SEC
Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements". SAB 101 summarizes certain of the SEC's views in applying generally
accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements.
SAB 101 will be effective for the Company in the third quarter of fiscal year
2001. Management does not expect SAB 101 to have a material impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Company is required to adopt this
statement for the year ending March 31, 2002. SFAS 133 establishes methods of
accounting for derivative financial instruments and hedging activities related
to those instruments as well as other hedging activities. The Company has not
determined the effect, if any, that adoption will have on its financial position
or results of operations.
