PART III. - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within
the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed)
At December 31, 1999, Tyler Technologies, Inc. ("the Company") owned
approximately 32% of the outstanding voting common stock of H.T.E. Inc. (a
publicly owned company hereafter referred to as HTEI, its NASDAQ trading
symbol). Management of the Company has concluded that it has the ability to
exercise significant influence and, accordingly, has accounted for its
investment using the equity method of accounting since the respective dates
of the acquisition of HTEI's common stock. Management of HTEI have informed
the Company that its Form 10-K, including its consolidated financial
statements, will not be filed until or near the filing deadline of March
30, 2000, nor will its independent auditors be in a position to issue their
report and related consent to HTEI until that time. The independent
auditors of the Company are required to make reference to the separate
audit of HTEI and summary condensed financial information of this
investment is required to be included in the Company's audited footnotes.
In addition, because this investment is considered a significant
subsidiary, separate consolidated financial statements of HTEI will be
required to be presented in the Company's Form 10-K in accordance with
Regulation S-X Section 3.09. Also, each of the independent auditors will be
required to consent to the inclusion of their reports on the respective
audited consolidated financial statements to update a Form S-8 previously
filed by the Company. Therefore, each of the respective parties will need
to include and review this information and perform appropriate procedures
regarding the appropriateness of such information. Accordingly, management
of the Company believes that this extension request is warranted since this
registrant cannot file its Form 10-K without unreasonable effort or
expense.
