section entitled "Executive Officers of the Company" at the end of Part I of
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1998.
 
BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES
 
  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, the Board of Directors held 4
meetings and acted by written consent on 2 occasions. For the fiscal year,
each of the current directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i)
the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and (ii) the total
number of meetings held by all Committees of the Board of Directors on which
each such director served. The Board of Directors has two standing committees:
the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee.
 
  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, the Audit Committee of the Board
of Directors held 1 meeting. The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing
the results and scope of audits and other services provided by the Company's
independent auditors. The members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Goldman and

  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, the Compensation Committee of

Company. The Compensation Committee also administers the Company's 1997 Stock
Option Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The members of the Compensation
Committee are Mr. Hart and Mr. Jobe.
 
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
 
  The Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors was formed on
July 16, 1996, and the members of the Compensation Committee are Mr. Hart and
Mr. Jobe. Neither of these individuals was at any time during fiscal year
1998, or at any other time, an officer or employee of the Company. No
executive officer of the Company serves as a member of the board of directors
or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive
officers serving as a member of the Company's Board of Directors or
Compensation Committee.
 
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
 
  Except for grants of stock options, directors of the Company generally do
not receive compensation for services provided as a director. The Company also
does not pay compensation for committee participation or special assignments
of the Board of Directors.
 
  Non-employee Board members are eligible for option grants pursuant to the
provisions of the automatic grant program under the Company's 1997 Stock
Option Plan. Under the automatic grant program, each individual who becomes a
non-employee Board member will be granted an option to purchase 20,000 shares
on
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
 
the date such individual joins the Board, provided such individual has not
been in the prior employ of the Company. In addition, at each annual
stockholders meeting, each individual who continues to serve and has served as
a non-employee Board member for at least six months prior to such Annual
Meeting receives an additional option grant to purchase 10,000 shares of
Common Stock, whether or not such individual is standing for re-election at
that particular meeting.
 
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
 
  Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's executive officers
and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class
of the Company's equity securities ("10% Stockholders") to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. reports of ownership on Form 3 and reports on changes
in ownership on Form 4 or Form 5. Such executive officers, directors and 10%
Stockholders are also required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies
of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.
 
  Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by the
Company, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no
Forms 5 were required for such persons, the Company believes that, during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, its executive officers, directors and 10%
Stockholders complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements.
 
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
                         COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
 
  The Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the
"Committee") has the authority to establish the level of base salary payable
to the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and the other executive officers and to
administer the Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan and Employee Stock Purchase
Plan. In addition, the Committee has the responsibility for approving the
individual bonus program to be in effect for the CEO and all other employees
of the Company, including all executive officers.
 
GENERAL COMPENSATION POLICY. The Company's fundamental policy is to offer the
Company's executive officers competitive compensation opportunities based upon
overall Company performance, their individual contribution to the financial
success of the Company and their personal performance. It is the Company's
objective to have a substantial portion of each officer's compensation
contingent upon the Company's performance, as well as upon his or her own
level of performance. Accordingly, each executive officer's compensation
package consists of: (i) base salary, (ii) cash bonus awards and (iii) long-
term stock-based incentive awards.
 
BASE SALARY. To date, base salary for each executive officer has generally
been set through individual negotiation at the time of hire. Periodic
increases have been awarded on the basis of personal performance.
 
ANNUAL CASH BONUSES. Each executive officer has an established bonus target
each fiscal year. The annual pool of bonuses for executive officers is
determined on the basis of the Company's achievement of the performance
targets established at the start of the fiscal year, which are generally
primarily financial performance targets. Each fiscal year, the annual
incentive plan is reevaluated with a new achievement threshold and new
targets. Actual bonuses paid reflect an individual's accomplishment of both
corporate and functional objectives, with greater weight being given to
achievement of corporate rather than functional objectives. Actual bonuses are
listed in the Summary Compensation Table.
 
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION. Long-term incentives are provided through
stock option grants. The grants are designed to align the interests of each
executive officer with those of the stockholders and provide each individual
with a significant incentive to manage the Company from the perspective of an
owner with an equity stake in the business. Each grant generally allows the
officer to acquire shares of the Company's common
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
 
stock at a fixed price per share (the market price on the grant date) over a
specified period of time (up to 10 years). Generally, a significant grant is
made in the year that an officer commences employment. Smaller grants may be
made in subsequent years beginning the third year following initial grant or
no options granted. During fiscal 1998, the Committee made option grants to
each of the Named Officers.
 
CEO COMPENSATION. The annual base salary for Mr. Thau, the Company's President
and CEO, remained unchanged in the 1998 fiscal year. The bonus paid to the CEO
for fiscal 1998 was based on the same incentive plan as for all other officers
as discussed above.
 
TAX LIMITATION. Under the Federal tax laws, a publicly-held company such as
the Company will not be allowed a Federal income tax deduction for
compensation paid to certain executive officers to the extent that
compensation exceeds $1 million per officer in any year. This limitation will
be in effect for all fiscal years of the Company ending after the Company's
initial public offering. The stockholders approved the Company's 1997 Stock
Option Plan, which includes a provision that limits the maximum number of
shares of Common Stock for which any one participant may be granted stock
options per calendar year. Accordingly, any compensation deemed paid to an
executive officer when he or she exercises an option under the 1997 Stock
Option Plan with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the
option shares on the grant date generally will qualify as performance-based
compensation that will not be subject to the $1 million limitation. Since it
is not expected that the cash compensation to be paid to the Company's
executive officers for the 1998 fiscal year will exceed the $1 million limit
per officer, the Committee will defer any decision on whether to limit the
dollar amount of the cash compensation payable to the Company's executive
officers to the $1 million cap.

(1) Each of the options is immediately exercisable. The shares purchasable
    thereunder are subject to repurchase by the Company at the original
    exercise price paid per share upon the optionee's cessation of service
    prior to vesting in such shares. The repurchase right lapses as to 25% of
    the shares upon completion of one year of service from the grant date and
    the balance in a series of 36 monthly installments thereafter.
(2) Based on an aggregate of 1,655,658 options granted in the 1998 fiscal
    year.
(3) The exercise price may be paid in cash, in shares of Common Stock valued
    at fair market value on the exercise date or through a cashless exercise
    procedure involving a same-day sale of the purchased shares. The Company
    may also finance the option exercise by loaning the optionee sufficient
    funds to pay the exercise price for the purchased shares, together with
    any federal and state income tax liability incurred by the optionee in
    connection with such exercise.
(4) The 5% and 10% assumed annual rates of compounded stock price appreciation
    are mandated by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. There can
    be no assurance provided to any executive officer or any other holder of
    the Company's securities that the actual stock price appreciation over the
    10-year option term will be at the assumed 5% and 10% levels or at any
    other defined level. Unless the market price of the Common Stock
    appreciates over the option term, no value will be realized from the
    option grants made to the executive officers.

  The graph set forth below compares the cumulative total stockholder return
on the Company's Common Stock between February 12, 1997 (the date the
Company's Common Stock commenced public trading) and June 30, 1998 with the
cumulative total return of (i) the Total Return Index for the Nasdaq Stock
Market (U.S. Companies) (the "Nasdaq Stock Market U.S. Index") and (ii) the
Hambrecht & Quist Software Sector Index (the "H&Q Software Sector Index"),
over the same period. This graph assumes the investment of $100.00 on February
12, 1997 in the Company's Common Stock, the Nasdaq Stock Market U.S. Index and
the H&Q Software Sector Index, and assumes the reinvestment of dividends, if
any.
 
  The comparisons shown in the graph below are based upon historical data. The
Company cautions that the stock price performance shown in the graph below is
not indicative of, nor intended to forecast, the potential future performance
of the Company's Common Stock. Information used in the graph was obtained from

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
 
  The following table sets forth as of September 1, 1998 certain information
with respect to shares beneficially owned by (i) each person who is known by
the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of the
Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) each of the Company's
directors, and the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table
and (iii) all current directors and executive officers as a group. Beneficial
ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
Act. Under this rule, certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by
more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the
power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be
beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire shares
(for example, upon exercise of an option or warrant) within 60 days of the
date as of which the information is provided; in computing the percentage
ownership of any person, the amount of shares is deemed to include the amount
of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason
of such acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares
of any person as shown in the following table does not necessarily reflect the
person's actual voting power at any particular date.
