INTREPID SYSTEMS, INC.
1301 HARBOR BAY PARKWAY
ALAMEDA, CALIFORNIA 94502
AUGUST , 1998
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
You are hereby cordially invited to attend a special meeting of the holders
of common stock ("Intrepid Common Stock") and Series A, Series B and Series C
preferred stock ("Intrepid Preferred Stock" and, together with the Intrepid
Common Stock, the "Intrepid Capital Stock") of Intrepid Systems, Inc., a
California corporation ("Intrepid"), to be held at its offices located at 1301
Harbor Bay Parkway, Alameda, California 94502, on , 1998, convening
at .m., California time (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting,
holders of record of Intrepid Capital Stock at the close of business on
, 1998, will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to
approve the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as
of June 9, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Intrepid, PeopleSoft,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("PeopleSoft"), Richard White, as Securityholder
Agent, and State Street Bank and Trust Company of California, N.A., as Escrow
Agent, pursuant to which (i) Intrepid will be merged with and into PeopleSoft
with PeopleSoft as the surviving corporation (the "Merger"), (ii) there will be
established with the Escrow Agent an escrow fund to secure claims for
indemnification that may be made by PeopleSoft following consummation of the
Merger (the "Escrow Fund") and (iii) Richard White will be authorized to act as
"Securityholder Agent" on behalf of the holders of Intrepid Capital Stock (the
"Intrepid Shareholders") in respect of certain matters contemplated therein.
Upon consummation of the Merger, if certain conditions provided for in the
Merger Agreement are satisfied, including the approval of the Merger Agreement
by the holders of 99.5% of the votes represented by outstanding shares of
Intrepid Capital Stock and the amendment to PeopleSoft's satisfaction of
Intrepid's agreement with Andersen Consulting, 1,372,745 shares of PeopleSoft
Common Stock, $.01 par value ("PeopleSoft Common Stock"), will be allocated for
issuance (i) to the Intrepid Shareholders in the Merger, and (ii) upon the
exercise after the Merger of options to acquire Intrepid Common Stock vested
prior to August 1, 1998 ("Vested Intrepid Options") assumed by PeopleSoft in the
Merger. If none of such conditions is satisfied, shares of
PeopleSoft Common Stock will be allocated for issuance to Intrepid Shareholders
in the Merger and upon exercise of the Vested Intrepid Options after the Merger.
In any event, both vested and unvested unexercised options to acquire Intrepid
Common Stock will be assumed by PeopleSoft, all as more fully described in the
accompanying Prospectus/Proxy Statement under "TERMS OF THE MERGER -- Manner and
Basis of Converting Shares." Because the number of shares of PeopleSoft Common
Stock to be issued in the Merger is fixed, the number of shares of PeopleSoft
Common Stock allocated to each Intrepid Shareholder in the Merger will be
reduced to the extent that any holder (an "Exercising Holder") of an option to
acquire Intrepid Common Stock that vests on or after August 1, 1998 exercises
such option prior to the Effective Time. Likewise, the number of shares of
PeopleSoft Common Stock received by such Exercising Holder will be less than
what such Exercising Holder would receive (when exercised) if such Exercising
Holder did not exercise such option prior to the Effective Time. PeopleSoft also
has the option to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Andersen Consulting
agreement has not been amended as required on or before the date of the Special
Meeting. The actual number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock issuable to
Intrepid Shareholders in the Merger is subject to adjustment as described in the
accompanying Prospectus/Proxy Statement in the section entitled "TERMS OF THE
MERGER -- Manner and Basis of Converting Shares" and in the Merger Agreement
attached to the Prospectus/Proxy Statement as Appendix A.
PeopleSoft has registered the shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock to be
issued in the Merger under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Your Board of Directors has carefully considered the terms and conditions
of the proposed Merger and has determined that the Merger is in the best
interests of Intrepid and its shareholders. The Board of Directors has, by
unanimous vote of all directors who voted on the proposal, recommended that
Intrepid Shareholders
<PAGE> 3
vote "FOR" approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement. In such vote,
Directors Still and Taylor, who are also a director and an executive officer,
respectively, of PeopleSoft, either were not present at or abstained from such
vote because their relationships with PeopleSoft created a potential conflict of
interest.
On behalf of your Board of Directors, thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
INTREPID SYSTEMS, INC.
Richard White
President and Chief Executive Officer

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
Notice is hereby given that a Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Special
Meeting") of Intrepid Systems, Inc., a California corporation ("Intrepid"), will
be held at .m., California time, on , 1998, at the
offices of Intrepid, located at 1301 Harbor Bay Parkway, Alameda, California
94502, for the purposes of:
1. Considering and voting upon a proposal (the "Merger Proposal") to
approve and adopt the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization, dated as of June 9, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement"), among
Intrepid, PeopleSoft, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("PeopleSoft"), Richard
White, as Securityholder Agent, and State Street Bank and Trust Company of
California, N.A., as Escrow Agent, pursuant to which Intrepid will be
merged with and into PeopleSoft, with PeopleSoft as the surviving
corporation (the "Merger"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in the Merger Agreement, all of which are more fully described in
the enclosed Prospectus/Proxy Statement. A copy of the Merger Agreement is
attached as Appendix A to the accompanying Prospectus/Proxy Statement.
2. Transacting such other business as may properly be brought before
the Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof.
Each holder of shares of Intrepid's Common Stock, no par value ("Intrepid
Common Stock"), shall have the right to one vote for each share held on all
matters to be considered at the Special Meeting. Each holder of shares of
Intrepid's Series A, Series B or Series C Preferred Stock, each no par value
("Intrepid Preferred Stock" and, together with the Intrepid Common Stock, the
"Intrepid Capital Stock"), shall have the right to the number of votes equal to
the number of shares of Intrepid Common Stock into which such shares of Intrepid
Preferred Stock could be converted into as of the Record Date (as defined
below).
The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on ,
1998 as the record date (the "Record Date") for determination of shareholders
entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournments or
postponements thereof. Only shareholders of record on such date are entitled to
notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournments or
postponements thereof.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS, BY UNANIMOUS VOTE OF ALL DIRECTORS WHO VOTED ON
THE PROPOSAL, RECOMMENDED THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE MERGER
PROPOSAL. IN SUCH VOTE, DIRECTORS TAYLOR AND STILL, WHO ARE ALSO A DIRECTOR AND
AN EXECUTIVE OFFICER, RESPECTIVELY, OF PEOPLESOFT, EITHER WERE NOT PRESENT AT OR
ABSTAINED FROM SUCH VOTE BECAUSE THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLESOFT CREATED A
POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
If the Merger is consummated, holders of Intrepid Capital Stock who have
complied with the requirements of Section 1300 of the California Corporations
Code will have certain appraisal rights under California law. See "Dissenters'
Rights" in the accompanying Prospectus/Proxy Statement.
By Order of the Board of Directors,
Secretary
APPROVAL OF THE MERGER PROPOSAL REQUIRES THE APPROVAL OF A MAJORITY OF THE
VOTES REPRESENTED BY THE ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING SHARES ENTITLED TO VOTE AT THE
SPECIAL MEETING OF (1) INTREPID COMMON STOCK, (2) INTREPID
<PAGE> 5
PREFERRED STOCK AND (3) THE INTREPID CAPITAL STOCK VOTING AS A SINGLE CLASS.
THEREFORE, A FAILURE TO VOTE WILL HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS A VOTE AGAINST THE
MERGER PROPOSAL. IN ADDITION, IN ORDER FOR THE MERGER TO BE TREATED FOR
ACCOUNTING PURPOSES AS A "POOLING-OF-INTERESTS" TRANSACTION UNDER GENERALLY
ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, THE AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF THE HOLDERS OF
NINETY-NINE AND ONE-HALF PERCENT (99.5%) OF THE VOTES REPRESENTED BY THE
OUTSTANDING SHARES OF INTREPID CAPITAL STOCK ENTITLED TO VOTE AT THE SPECIAL
MEETING IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE THE MERGER PROPOSAL (THE "REQUIRED POOLING
VOTE"). FAILURE OF INTREPID TO SATISFY CERTAIN CONDITIONS PROVIDED IN THE MERGER
AGREEMENT, INCLUDING OBTAINING THE REQUIRED POOLING VOTE, WILL RESULT IN A
REDUCTION OF THE AGGREGATE CONSIDERATION TO BE PAID TO INTREPID SHAREHOLDERS AND
HOLDERS OF VESTED INTREPID OPTIONS BY PEOPLESOFT IN THE MERGER OF 227,506 SHARES
OF PEOPLESOFT COMMON STOCK.
WHETHER OR NOT YOU PLAN TO ATTEND THE SPECIAL MEETING IN PERSON, YOU ARE
REQUESTED TO COMPLETE, DATE AND SIGN THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD AND RETURN IT IN
THE ENCLOSED ENVELOPE, WHICH REQUIRES NO POSTAGE IF MAILED IN THE UNITED STATES.
IF YOU ATTEND THE SPECIAL MEETING, YOU MAY REVOKE YOUR PROXY AT ANY TIME BEFORE
IT IS VOTED AND VOTE IN PERSON, IF YOU WISH, EVEN IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY
RETURNED YOUR PROXY CARD.

PROXY STATEMENT
OF
INTREPID SYSTEMS, INC.
------------------------
This Prospectus/Proxy Statement is being furnished to shareholders of
Intrepid Systems, Inc., a California corporation ("Intrepid"), in connection
with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Intrepid (the
"Intrepid Board") for use at the special meeting of shareholders of Intrepid
(including any adjournments, postponements or reschedulings thereof, the
"Intrepid Special Meeting") to be held on , 1998. At the Intrepid
Special Meeting, holders ("Intrepid Shareholders") of Intrepid common stock, no
par value ("Intrepid Common Stock"), and Intrepid Series A preferred stock, no
par value ("Series A Intrepid Preferred Stock"), Series B preferred stock, no
par value ("Series B Intrepid Preferred Stock") and Series C preferred stock, no
par value ("Series C Intrepid Preferred Stock" and, collectively with the Series
A Intrepid Preferred Stock and Series B Intrepid Preferred Stock, "Intrepid
Preferred Stock" and, together with the Intrepid Common Stock, "Intrepid Capital
Stock"), will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal (the "Merger
Proposal") to approve and adopt the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization, dated as of June 9, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among
PeopleSoft, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("PeopleSoft"), Intrepid, Richard
White, as Securityholder Agent (the "Securityholder Agent"), and State Street
Bank and Trust Company of California, N.A., as Escrow Agent (the "Escrow
Agent"), which provides for the merger (the "Merger") of Intrepid with and into
PeopleSoft (with PeopleSoft as the surviving corporation), and to approve and
adopt the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger and the
appointment of Richard White as Securityholder Agent.
This Prospectus/Proxy Statement also constitutes a prospectus of PeopleSoft
with respect to 1,372,745 shares of PeopleSoft's common stock, par value $.01
per share ("PeopleSoft Common Stock"), the maximum number of such shares
issuable to Intrepid Shareholders in the Merger.
All information herein with respect to Intrepid has been furnished by
Intrepid and all information herein with respect to PeopleSoft has been
furnished by PeopleSoft.
At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each
outstanding share of Intrepid Capital Stock will be converted into the right to
receive its portion of the Merger Share Amount (as defined herein) in accordance
with the liquidation preference of such share pursuant to Intrepid's Articles of
Incorporation (the "Intrepid Articles"), together with the appropriate number of
PeopleSoft Rights (as defined herein), with cash being paid in lieu of
fractional shares. The Merger Share Amount will be determined based on whether
the Merger is to be treated for accounting purposes as (i) a
"pooling-of-interests" (a "Pooling Merger") under generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"), (ii) a purchase transaction under GAAP for any reason other
than the occurrence of a Purchase Merger Condition (as defined herein), or (iii)
a purchase transaction under GAAP because a Purchase Merger Condition has
occurred (a "Purchase Merger"). In order for a Pooling Merger to occur, among
other things, the holders of 99.5% of the votes represented by the outstanding
shares of Intrepid Capital Stock entitled to vote at the Intrepid Special
Meeting must approve the Merger Proposal. If a Pooling Merger occurs or if the

CONSIDERED WITH RESPECT TO THE MERGER.
THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED
UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS/PROXY STATEMENT. ANY
REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
This Prospectus/Proxy Statement and a form of proxy are first being mailed
to Intrepid Shareholders on or about , 1998.
------------------------
THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS/PROXY STATEMENT IS , 1998.
<PAGE> 7
Merger is to be treated as a purchase transaction under GAAP for any reason
other than the occurrence of a Purchase Merger Condition, subject to possible
additional reductions described below, the Merger Share Amount will be the
number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock obtained by dividing $60,339,000 by
$43.955 (resulting in 1,372,745 shares) and subtracting from the quotient the
number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the vested
options outstanding under Intrepid's 1992 Stock Option Plan ("Intrepid Stock
Options") as of August 1, 1998 that will be assumed by PeopleSoft pursuant to
the terms of the Merger Agreement. If a Purchase Merger occurs, subject to
possible additional reductions described below, the Merger Share Amount will be
the number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock obtained by dividing $50,339,000
by $43.955 (resulting in 1,145,239 shares) and subtracting from the quotient the
number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Intrepid Stock Options outstanding as of July 31, 1998 that will be assumed by
PeopleSoft pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. In short, the
aggregate consideration to be received by Intrepid Shareholders in the Merger
will be reduced by 227,506 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock (valued at $10
million assuming a PeopleSoft Common Stock price of $43.955 per share; however,
the actual value will depend on the PeopleSoft share value at the Effective
Time) if a Purchase Merger occurs. Because the number of shares of PeopleSoft
Common Stock to be issued in the Merger is fixed, the number of shares of
PeopleSoft Common Stock allocated to each Intrepid Shareholder in the Merger
will be reduced to the extent that any Exercising Holder of an option to acquire
Intrepid Common Stock that vests on or after August 1, 1998 exercises such
option prior to the Effective Time. Likewise, the number of shares of PeopleSoft
Common Stock received by such Exercising Holder will be less than what such
Exercising Holder would receive (when exercised) if such Exercising Holder did
not exercise such option prior to the Effective Time. See "TERMS OF THE
MERGER -- Manner and Basis of Converting Shares; Treatment of Options." As of
July 31, 1998, there were outstanding vested Intrepid Stock
Options.
In the event that the Andersen Consulting Agreement (as defined herein) is
not amended in a manner acceptable to PeopleSoft on or before the date of the
Intrepid Special Meeting, regardless of whether a Pooling Merger or a Purchase
Merger occurs, the Merger Agreement may be terminated by PeopleSoft or, if
PeopleSoft does not elect to terminate the Merger Agreement, the Merger Share
Amount will be reduced by 30,713 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock (valued at
$1.35 million, assuming a PeopleSoft Common Stock price of $43.955 per share;
however, the actual value will depend on the PeopleSoft share value at the
Effective Time). In addition, at the Effective Time (as defined herein), a
number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock equal to ten percent (10%) of the
shares issuable to Intrepid Shareholders in the Merger (the "Escrow Shares")
will be issued by PeopleSoft, on behalf of the Intrepid Shareholders directly to
the Escrow Agent to be held (for at least one year from the Effective Time) as
security for Intrepid's indemnification obligations under the Merger Agreement
including the collection in full of certain receivables of Intrepid totaling
approximately $3.1 million owed by The Venator Group (formerly Woolworth) and
Edison Brothers, Inc. by December 31, 1998.
Upon consummation of the Merger, the PeopleSoft Common Stock issued in
exchange for Intrepid Capital Stock will be allocated (1) first, to the holders
of Intrepid Preferred Stock in accordance with the liquidation preferences of
such Preferred Stock and (2) then to the holders of Intrepid Common Stock and
Intrepid Preferred Stock on a pro rata and as converted basis (up to a maximum
participation amount for each series of Intrepid Preferred Stock as described in
the Intrepid Articles). Based on the closing sale price of PeopleSoft Common
Stock on the National Market tier of the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") on July
8, 1998 of $50.88 per share (the most recent practicable date prior to the
printing of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement), if the Merger had occurred at such
time (the "Assumed Effective Time") and the Andersen Consulting Agreement had
been amended as required by the Merger Agreement, (i) assuming further that a
Pooling Merger occurred or the Merger is to be treated as a purchase transaction
under GAAP for any reason other than the occurrence of a Purchase Merger
Condition, the Merger Share Amount would have resulted in aggregate
consideration paid to Intrepid Shareholders with an indicated value of
$69,838,402 (resulting in an indicated per share value of the Intrepid Common
Stock of $5.18 (or 0.10175 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock), of the Series A
Intrepid Preferred Stock of $15.30 (or 0.30074 shares of PeopleSoft Common
Stock), of the Series B Intrepid Preferred Stock of $32.50 (or 0.63863 shares of
PeopleSoft Common Stock) and of the Series C Intrepid Preferred Stock of $32.50
(or 0.63863 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock)); and (ii) assuming further that
a Purchase Merger occurred, the Merger Share Amount would have resulted in
aggregate consideration paid to Intrepid Shareholders with an indicated value of
$58,264,034 (resulting in an indicated per share value of the Intrepid Common
Stock of $3.84 (or 0.07557 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock), of the Series A
Intrepid Preferred Stock of $15.30 (or 0.30074 shares of PeopleSoft Common
Stock), of the Series B Intrepid Preferred Stock of $30.31 (or 0.59568 shares of
PeopleSoft Common Stock) and of the Series C Intrepid Preferred Stock of $32.50
(or 0.63863 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock)); in each of (i) and (ii),
however, before giving effect to the Escrow Shares required to be issued
directly to the Escrow Agent and assuming that no shares of Intrepid Preferred
Stock outstanding on July 8, 1998 are converted into shares of Intrepid Common
Stock prior to the Effective Time.
<PAGE> 8
By contrast, if the Merger had occurred at the Assumed Effective Time and
the Andersen Consulting Agreement had not been amended as required by the Merger
Agreement, (i) if a Pooling Merger occurred or the Merger is to be treated as a
purchase transaction under GAAP for any reason other than the occurrence of a
Purchase Merger Condition, the Merger Share Amount would have resulted in
aggregate consideration paid to Intrepid Shareholders with an indicated value of
$68,488,402 (resulting in an indicted per share value of the Intrepid Common
Stock of $5.00 (or 0.09837 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock), of the Series A
Intrepid Preferred Stock of $15.30 (or 0.30074 shares of PeopleSoft Common
Stock), of the Series B Intrepid Preferred Stock of $32.50 (or 0.63863 shares of
PeopleSoft Common Stock) and of the Series C Intrepid Preferred Stock of $32.50
(or 0.63863 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock)); and (ii) if a Purchase Merger
occurred, the Merger Share Amount would have resulted in aggregate consideration
paid to Intrepid Shareholders with an indicated value of $56,914,034 (resulting
in an indicated value per share of the Intrepid Common Stock of $3.71 (or
0.07295 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock), of the Series A Intrepid Preferred
Stock of $15.30 (or 0.30074 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock), of the Series B
Intrepid Preferred Stock of $29.71 (or 0.58389 shares of PeopleSoft Common
Stock) and of the Series C Intrepid Preferred Stock of $32.50 (or 0.63863 shares
of PeopleSoft Common Stock)); in each of (i) and (ii), however, before giving
effect to the Escrow Shares required to be issued directly to the Escrow Agent
and assuming that no shares of Intrepid Preferred Stock outstanding on July 8,
1998 are converted into shares of Intrepid Common Stock prior to the Effective
Time.
Because, within the above parameters, the Merger Share Amount is fixed, any
change in the market price of PeopleSoft Common Stock before the Effective Time
will affect the implied market value of the consideration to be received by
Intrepid Shareholders in the Merger. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE AS TO THE MARKET
PRICE PER SHARE OF PEOPLESOFT COMMON STOCK AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO, AT OR AFTER THE
EFFECTIVE TIME. INTREPID SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO OBTAIN CURRENT MARKET
QUOTATIONS. PeopleSoft Common Stock is designated for quotation on Nasdaq under
the symbol "PSFT."

THE COMPANIES
PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft designs, develops, markets, licenses, services and
supports a family of enterprise client/server application software products for

and local governmental agencies primarily in North America. PeopleSoft designs
its software products specifically for the client/server model of computing and
believes that its architecture is among the most advanced and flexible available

integrated with core operational applications. Such back office administrative
applications include "PeopleSoft HRMS," a human resources management system,
"PeopleSoft Financials," an integrated suite of accounting and financial
management applications, and "PeopleSoft Distribution," an integrated suite of
materials management and supply chain planning applications.
PeopleSoft's software products utilize the Microsoft Windows family of
operating systems on the desktop, as well as Java based web clients, and a wide
variety of popular relational database management system ("RDBMS"), operating
system and hardware platform choices on the server. The application software
products have been primarily developed using "PeopleTools," PeopleSoft's
integrated rapid application development toolset which is delivered to customers
along with PeopleSoft's application products to facilitate end user modification
and customization.
As of May 31, 1998, PeopleSoft employed approximately 5,500 people
worldwide, with development, technical support, professional services or sales
facilities in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany,
the Netherlands, Spain, Australia, Singapore, New Zealand, Brazil, Mexico,
Japan, South Africa and Argentina. PeopleSoft licenses its software products
primarily through a worldwide direct sales organization.
PeopleSoft was incorporated in Delaware in 1987. PeopleSoft's principal
executive offices are located at 4460 Hacienda Drive, Pleasanton, California
94588, and its telephone number at that address is (925) 694-3000.
Intrepid. Intrepid develops, markets, licenses, supports and services
integrated merchandise management, data warehouse and decision support software
for medium to large-sized retailers in most segments of the retail industry.
Intrepid's software products are designed to enable retailers to use information
to quickly make informed business decisions.
Intrepid markets its software primarily through its direct sales force, but
also through indirect sales channels including systems consulting and
integration firms. Intrepid's customers include The Venator Group (formerly

approximately 220 people and its principal executive offices are located at 1301
Harbor Bay Parkway, Alameda, California 94502, and its telephone number at that

THE INTREPID SPECIAL MEETING
Time, Date and Place. The Intrepid Special Meeting will be held at :00
.m., California time, on , 1998, at Intrepid's offices located at
1301 Harbor Bay Parkway, Alameda, California 94502. See "THE INTREPID SPECIAL
MEETING -- General."
Matters to be Considered. Intrepid Shareholders will be asked to consider
and vote upon a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and to approve the
transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger and the appointment of
Richard White as Securityholder Agent. See "THE INTREPID SPECIAL
MEETING -- Matters to be Considered at the Intrepid Special Meeting."
Record Date; Shares Entitled to Vote; Quorum. The Intrepid Board has fixed
the close of business on , 1998 as the record date (the "Record
Date") for the determination of the Intrepid Shareholders entitled to receive
notice of and to vote at the Intrepid Special Meeting.
As of the Record Date, there were issued and outstanding shares
of Intrepid Common Stock and shares (comprised of shares of
Series A, shares of Series B, and shares of Series C) of
Intrepid Preferred Stock. Each share of Intrepid Common Stock is entitled to one
vote on the Merger Proposal and any other matters properly presented at the
Intrepid Special Meeting. Each share of Intrepid Preferred Stock is entitled to
the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Intrepid Common Stock into
which such share of Intrepid Preferred Stock could be converted into as of the
Record Date. As of the Record Date, each share of Series A, Series B and Series
C Intrepid Preferred Stock were entitled to , and
votes, respectively. Any fractional votes will be rounded to the nearest whole
number (with one-half being rounded upward). The presence, in person or by
proxy, of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of both
Intrepid Common Stock and Intrepid Preferred Stock entitled to vote at the
Intrepid Special Meeting will constitute a quorum. See "THE INTREPID SPECIAL
MEETING -- Record Date and Voting" and "-- Quorum; Votes Required."
As of the Record Date, directors and executive officers, and certain other
shareholders, of Intrepid as a group beneficially owned shares of
Intrepid Common Stock, or approximately % of the outstanding shares of
Intrepid Common Stock, and , and shares of Series
A, Series B and Series C Intrepid Preferred Stock, respectively, or
approximately %, % and % of the outstanding shares of Series A,
Series B and Series C Intrepid Preferred Stock, respectively, which represented,
in the aggregate, approximately % of the total voting power of the
outstanding shares of Intrepid Capital Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the
Voting Agreements (defined below), the executive officers and directors and such
other shareholders of Intrepid have agreed to vote all of their shares of
Intrepid Capital Stock in favor of the Merger Proposal and each of them has
granted to PeopleSoft an irrevocable proxy to vote such shares in favor of the
Merger Proposal. See "TERMS OF THE MERGER -- Voting Agreements."
As of the Record Date, PeopleSoft owned shares of Intrepid Common
Stock, or approximately % of the outstanding shares of Intrepid Common
Stock, and and shares, or approximately % and % of
the outstanding shares of Series B and Series C Intrepid Preferred Stock,
respectively. PeopleSoft will vote all of its shares of Intrepid Capital Stock
in favor of the Merger Proposal.
Votes Required. Pursuant to California law and the Intrepid Articles, the
affirmative vote of (i) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
Intrepid Common Stock entitled to vote at the Intrepid Special Meeting, (ii) the
holders of a majority of the votes represented by the outstanding shares of
Intrepid Preferred Stock entitled to vote at the Intrepid Special Meeting and
(iii) the holders of a majority of the votes represented by the outstanding
shares of Intrepid Capital Stock entitled to vote at the Intrepid Special
Meeting is required to approve the Merger Proposal. In addition, in order for a
Pooling Merger to occur, the affirmative vote of the holders of 99.5% of the
votes represented by the outstanding shares of Intrepid Capital
4
<PAGE> 16
Stock entitled to vote at the Intrepid Special Meeting is required to approve
the Merger Proposal (the "Required Pooling Vote"). While obtaining the Required
Pooling Vote is a condition precedent to a Pooling Merger, obtaining the
Required Pooling Vote will not guarantee that a Pooling Merger will occur, since
there are other conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement which must be
satisfied in order for a Pooling Merger to occur. If the Merger fails to qualify
as a Pooling Merger, it will (assuming all other conditions to the Merger have
been satisfied or waived) be accounted for as a purchase. A failure to submit a
proxy (or to vote in person at the Intrepid Special Meeting) or an abstention by
an Intrepid Shareholder will have the same effect as a "NO" vote with respect to
the vote on the Merger Proposal. See "THE INTREPID SPECIAL MEETINGS -- Record
Date and Voting" and "-- Quorum; Votes Required."
THE INTREPID BOARD HAS, BY UNANIMOUS VOTE OF ALL DIRECTORS VOTING,
DETERMINED THAT THE TERMS OF THE MERGER ARE FAIR AND IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF
INTREPID AND THE INTREPID SHAREHOLDERS AND, ACCORDINGLY, RECOMMENDS THAT THE
INTREPID SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE MERGER PROPOSAL. IN SUCH VOTE,
DIRECTORS STILL AND TAYLOR, WHO ARE ALSO A DIRECTOR AND AN EXECUTIVE OFFICER,
RESPECTIVELY, OF PEOPLESOFT, EITHER WERE NOT PRESENT AT OR ABSTAINED FROM SUCH
VOTE BECAUSE THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH PEOPLESOFT CREATED A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF
INTEREST.
RISK FACTORS
In determining whether to vote for the Merger Proposal, Intrepid
Shareholders should carefully read and evaluate certain risks associated with
the Merger and the Combined Company. See "RISK FACTORS."
THE MERGER
Terms of the Merger. At the Effective Time, Intrepid will be merged with
and into PeopleSoft, with PeopleSoft as the surviving corporation. The Merger
Agreement provides that the Merger will become effective upon the filing of a
Certificate of Merger (the "Certificate of Merger") with the Secretary of State
of the State of Delaware and the filing of the certificates required by Section
1108 of the California Corporations Code with the Secretary of State of the
State of California.
At the Effective Time, each outstanding share of Intrepid Capital Stock
will be converted into the right to receive its portion of the Merger Share
Amount in accordance with the liquidation preference of such share pursuant to
the Intrepid Articles, with cash being paid in lieu of fractional shares.
Assuming all other conditions to the Merger have been satisfied or waived, a
Pooling Merger will occur if the Merger Proposal is approved by the holders of
99.5% of the votes represented by the outstanding shares of Intrepid Capital
Stock, provided that if such vote is not obtained or another Purchase Merger
Condition occurs, a Purchase Merger will occur. The Merger Share Amount will be
reduced by a 227,506 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock (valued at $10 million
assuming a PeopleSoft Common Stock price of $43.955 per share; however, the
actual value will depend on the PeopleSoft share value at the Effective Time) if
a Purchase Merger occurs. The Merger Share Amount is also subject to reduction
in the event the Andersen Consulting Agreement is not amended in a manner
acceptable to PeopleSoft on or before the date of the Intrepid Special Meeting.
If the Andersen Consulting Agreement is not so amended and PeopleSoft does not
elect to terminate the Merger Agreement (as described below), the Merger Share
Amount will be reduced by 30,713 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock (valued at
$1.35 million assuming a PeopleSoft Common Stock price of $43.955 per share;
however, the actual value will depend on the PeopleSoft share value at the
Effective Time). In addition, each outstanding Intrepid Stock Option, whether
vested or unvested, shall be, as a consequence of the Merger, assumed by
PeopleSoft. As of , 1998, there were outstanding vested Intrepid Stock
Options to purchase shares of Intrepid Common Stock.
Conditions to the Merger; Termination; Amendment. Consummation of the
Merger is subject to the satisfaction of various conditions. The Merger
Agreement may be terminated and the Merger abandoned under certain
circumstances, including (a) by mutual written consent of PeopleSoft and
Intrepid; (b) by either PeopleSoft or Intrepid if the other party is in breach
of any representation, warranty, covenant or
5
<PAGE> 17
agreement contained in the Merger Agreement which has not been cured within 30
days after the occurrence of a breach and such breach would have a material
adverse effect on the business, assets, financial condition or results of
operations of the breaching party; (c) by PeopleSoft or Intrepid if there is any
order, rule, statute or regulation prohibiting the consummation of the Merger or
which would make consummation illegal; (d) by PeopleSoft if there is any action
taken, or order, rule, statute or regulation which would prohibit PeopleSoft's
ownership or operation of any material portion of Intrepid's business or which
would compel the disposition of any material portion of PeopleSoft's or
Intrepid's business or assets; (e) by either party if the Merger is not
consummated on or before October 31, 1998; and (f) by PeopleSoft if the Andersen
Consulting Agreement is not amended in a manner acceptable to PeopleSoft on or
before the date of the Intrepid Special Meeting. The Merger Agreement may be
amended only in writing by Intrepid and PeopleSoft, at any time before or after
the approval of the Merger Agreement by the Intrepid Shareholders, provided
that, after such shareholder approval has been obtained, no amendment of the
Merger Agreement or any of the other agreements executed in connection with the
Merger may be made which by law requires the further approval of the
shareholders, without obtaining such further approval. See "TERMS OF THE
MERGER -- Conditions to the Merger" and "-- Termination or Amendment of Merger
Agreement."
Indemnification by Intrepid Shareholders and Escrow Shares. In connection
with the Merger, the Escrow Shares will be issued directly to the Escrow Agent
and held by it in an escrow account to serve as security for any losses incurred
by PeopleSoft in the event of breaches by Intrepid of its representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements contained in the Merger Agreement including,
without limitation, the collection of amounts owing to Intrepid on account of
certain receivables totaling approximately $3.1 million owed by The Venator
Group (formerly Woolworth) ("Venator") and Edison Brothers, Inc. ("Edison
Brothers") by December 31, 1998. The Escrow Shares will be contributed on behalf
of each Intrepid Shareholder in proportion to the number of shares of PeopleSoft
Common Stock such Intrepid Shareholder receives in the Merger. The Escrow Shares
will be held in escrow until the one year anniversary of the Effective Time (the
"Expiration Date"), at which time any such shares remaining and as to which no
claim is pending, if any, will be released to the beneficial holders of such
Escrow Shares. See "TERMS OF THE MERGER -- Indemnification by Intrepid and
Escrow of Purchase Price."
Stock Ownership Following the Merger. Based on the maximum possible Merger
Share Amount and the total number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock
outstanding as of June 30, 1998, holders of Intrepid Capital Stock and vested
Intrepid Stock Options would hold an aggregate number of shares of PeopleSoft
Common Stock equal to less than 1% of the total issued and outstanding shares of
PeopleSoft Common Stock following the Merger.
Resales of PeopleSoft Common Stock. The shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock
to be issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement have been registered under the
Securities Act, and therefore may be resold without restriction by persons who
are not Affiliates (defined below) of Intrepid or PeopleSoft. See "BACKGROUND OF
AND REASONS FOR THE MERGER -- Affiliate Agreements," and "TERMS OF THE
MERGER -- Affiliate Agreements."
Listing of PeopleSoft Common Stock; Market Price Data. At the Effective
Time, the shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock to be issued in the Merger will be
approved for quotation on Nasdaq under the trading symbol "PSFT." No established
trading market exists for any class or series of the Intrepid Capital Stock.
The closing sale price per share of PeopleSoft Common Stock as reported on
Nasdaq on June 3, 1998, the last trading day prior to the public announcement of
the proposed Merger, and on July , 1998 (the most recent practicable date
prior to the printing of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement), were $42.00 and
$ per share, respectively. See "STOCK PRICE AND DIVIDEND INFORMATION."
Recommendation of the Intrepid Board. The Intrepid Board has, by unanimous
vote of all directors voting, approved the Merger Agreement and RECOMMENDS THAT
INTREPID SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE MERGER PROPOSAL. See "BACKGROUND OF AND
REASONS FOR THE MERGER." In such vote, Directors Still and Taylor, who are also
a director and an executive officer,
6
<PAGE> 18
respectively, of PeopleSoft, either were not present at or abstained from such
vote because their relationship with PeopleSoft created a potential conflict of
interest.
Surviving Corporation and Management of the Combined Company Following the
Merger. Assuming the Merger is consummated, Intrepid will be merged into
PeopleSoft and cease to exist as a separate corporation. All of the business,
assets, liabilities and obligations of Intrepid will be assumed by PeopleSoft as
the surviving corporation. Following the Merger, all the directors and officers
of PeopleSoft immediately prior to the Merger will be the directors and
officers, respectively, of the Combined Company. See "TERMS OF THE
MERGER -- Conduct of the Business of the Combined Company Following the Merger."
Exchange of Intrepid Stock Certificates. At or before the Effective Time,
PeopleSoft, acting through an exchange agent designated by PeopleSoft (the
"Exchange Agent"), will deliver to each Intrepid Shareholder of record a letter
of transmittal with instructions to be used by such shareholder in surrendering
certificates, which, prior to the Merger, represented shares of Intrepid Capital
Stock ("Intrepid Stock Certificates"). INTREPID SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT
SURRENDER INTREPID STOCK CERTIFICATES UNTIL SUCH HOLDERS RECEIVE THE LETTER OF
TRANSMITTAL FROM THE EXCHANGE AGENT. See "TERMS OF THE MERGER -- Manner and
Basis of Converting Shares; Treatment of Options."
Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Non-Hire Agreements. Each of Richard
White, Intrepid's President and Chief Executive Officer, James D. Kelly, Jr.,
Intrepid's Vice President of Decision Support Sales, Brian Kelly, Intrepid's
Vice President of Decision Support Strategy (Messrs. White, Kelly and Kelly,
collectively, the "Key Employees"), Lee Kunkle, Intrepid's Vice President of
Consulting and Support Services, and Jack Harbaugh, Intrepid's Vice President of
Sales and Marketing (Messrs. Kunkle and Harbaugh, collectively, the "Other
Management Employees"), has entered into a Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and
Non-Hire Agreement (a "Noncompete Agreement") with PeopleSoft which will become
effective as of the date on which the Effective Time occurs. See "INTERESTS OF
CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE MERGER."
Affiliate Agreements. Each of eleven Intrepid Shareholders and holders of
Intrepid Stock Options, whom was identified by Intrepid as an Affiliate at the
time the Merger Agreement was executed, has entered into an agreement with
PeopleSoft restricting sales, dispositions or other transactions by such person
that would reduce such person's risk of investment in respect of the shares of
Intrepid Capital Stock held by such person prior to the Merger and the shares of
PeopleSoft Common Stock to be received by such person in the Merger. See "TERMS
OF THE MERGER -- Affiliate Agreements."
Voting Agreements and Proxies. Each of eleven Intrepid Shareholders
identified by Intrepid at the time the Merger Agreement was executed as an
Affiliate has entered into a Voting Agreement and Proxy (the "Voting
Agreements") with PeopleSoft, pursuant to which such shareholder has agreed to
vote his shares of Intrepid Capital Stock in favor of the Merger Proposal, and
PeopleSoft has been granted an irrevocable proxy and power of attorney to vote
all of his shares of Intrepid Capital Stock at the Intrepid Special Meeting in
favor of the Merger Proposal.
Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations. The Merger is intended to
qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), and accordingly neither PeopleSoft nor Intrepid
should recognize a gain or loss as a result of the Merger, and Intrepid
shareholders should recognize no gain or loss on the exchange of their shares of
Intrepid Capital Stock for shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock in the Merger
except as described below under "BACKGROUND OF AND REASONS FOR MERGER -- Certain
Federal Income Tax Considerations." ALL INTREPID SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT
THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS. See "BACKGROUND OF AND REASONS FOR THE MERGER -- Certain
Federal Income Tax Considerations."
Accounting Treatment. The Merger is intended to qualify as a pooling of
interests for financial reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Subject to
satisfaction of certain conditions, including the approval of 99.5% of the votes
represented by the outstanding shares of Intrepid Capital Stock entitled to vote
at the Intrepid Special Meeting, the Merger will be accounted for as such. If
the Merger fails to qualify as a pooling
7
<PAGE> 19
of interests for financial reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP, the
Merger will be accounted for as a purchase. See "BACKGROUND OF AND REASONS FOR
THE MERGER -- Accounting Treatment."
Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger. Certain officers and directors
of Intrepid have certain interests in the Merger beyond that of an Intrepid
officer or director. Director Matthews will receive consulting fees of up to
$80,000 as payment for his financial advisory and other services in conjunction
with the Merger. See "INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE MERGER."
Dissenters' Rights. Intrepid Shareholders who give proper written demand
for the appraisal of their shares prior to the Intrepid Special Meeting, who do
not vote their shares of Intrepid Capital Stock in favor of the Merger and who
comply with other applicable requirements of Section 1300 of the California
General Corporation Law ("Dissenters") will have a right to receive payment in
cash for the "fair value" of their shares of Intrepid Capital Stock. It is a
condition of the Merger that no more than 5% of the votes represented by the
outstanding shares of Intrepid Capital Stock become Dissenters. Because the
California General Corporation Law allows Dissenters up to 30 days after the
mailing to Intrepid Shareholders of the Notice of Approval to submit their
demand to exercise their Dissenters' rights, it may not be possible to determine
whether such condition has been satisfied until the expiration of this 30 day
period. For this reason PeopleSoft will have the right to delay the Closing
during this 30 day period or until such condition has been satisfied. See
"DISSENTERS' RIGHTS."
Intrepid Loan Agreement. On June 3, 1998, Intrepid entered into a Working
Capital Line of Credit with PeopleSoft, pursuant to which Intrepid may borrow up
to $5,000,000 from PeopleSoft in accordance with the terms and conditions
thereof. See "INTREPID LOAN AGREEMENT."

financial statements which are not included in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement.
Intrepid's historical balance sheet data as of December 31, 1996 and 1997 and
the statement of operations data for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1997 are derived from Intrepid's audited financial statements
included elsewhere in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement. Intrepid's financial
information is qualified by and should be read in conjunction with Intrepid's
financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in the
Prospectus/Proxy Statement. In the opinion of the management of Intrepid, the
above mentioned unaudited interim financial data of Intrepid has been prepared
on the same basis as the historical information derived from the audited
financial statements and includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for
unaudited interim periods.
No cash dividends have been declared or paid in any of the periods
presented for either PeopleSoft or Intrepid.
The unaudited selected pro forma combined financial data is derived from
the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and
notes thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement, which gives
effect to the Merger in each case as a pooling of interests and a purchase, and
should be read in conjunction with such Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto. The unaudited selected pro
forma combined statement of operations data combines PeopleSoft's consolidated
results of operation data for the year ended December 31, 1997 and for the three
month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 with Intrepid's results of
operations data for the same periods, giving effect to the Merger as if it had
occurred at the beginning of each period presented. The unaudited selected pro
forma combined balance sheet data combines PeopleSoft's consolidated balance
sheet data as of March 31, 1998 with Intrepid's consolidated balance sheet data
as of that date, giving effect to the Merger as if it had occurred as of March
31, 1998. Intrepid's results of operations for the years ended December 31, 1995
and 1996 are immaterial to PeopleSoft's results of operations for those same
years and thus no pro forma income statements for these periods are presented.
The selected pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only
and is not necessarily indicative of the consolidated operating results or
financial position that would have occurred had the Merger been consummated at
the beginning of the periods presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of
future operating results or financial position. See "UNAUDITED PRO FORMA

</TABLE>
- ---------------
(1) PeopleSoft and Intrepid anticipate that the Combined Company will incur
Merger-related expenses of approximately $750,000. Such expenses include
business consulting fees paid to investment bankers, legal and accounting
expenses and other transaction costs. These costs are preliminary, and
therefore subject to change, and will be charged to the operations of
PeopleSoft in the fiscal quarter in which the Merger is consummated, which
is currently expected to occur during the quarter ending September 30, 1998.
The effects of these costs have not been reflected in the historical or pro
forma net income per share data but are reflected in the pro forma book
value per share data as of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997.
(2) The Intrepid equivalent pro forma combined per share amounts are calculated
by multiplying the PeopleSoft pro forma combined per share amounts by the
common exchange ratio of 0.1518 or 0.1267 of a share of PeopleSoft Common
Stock for each share of Intrepid Common Stock if the Merger is accounted for
as a pooling of interests or purchase transaction, respectively. This ratio
is used only for determining disclosures in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement.
The actual exchange ratio will not be
12
<PAGE> 24
determinable until the Effective Time. See "UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS."
(3) Including potential common shares in the denominator of a diluted per-share
computation will always result in an anti-dilutive per-share amount when the
entity shows a loss from continuing operations. Thus, the diluted net loss
per share for Intrepid is identical to the basic per-share computation.
(4) Historical book value per share is computed by dividing stockholders' equity
by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the end of each
period. PeopleSoft pro forma book value per share is computed by dividing
pro forma stockholders' equity, including the effect of pro forma
adjustments, by the pro forma number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock
which would have been outstanding had the Merger been consummated as of each
balance sheet date.
(5) Intrepid's results of operations for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
1996 are immaterial to PeopleSoft's results of operations for the same years
thus no pro forma income statements are presented for these periods. The pro
forma combined income per share for these years represents only PeopleSoft's
historical basic and diluted income per share.
(6) Under the purchase method of accounting, Intrepid's assets and liabilities
are stated at their estimated fair values as of the beginning of each period
presented. Allocation of the purchase price consists of current assets of
$14.3 million, fixed assets of $.6 million, capitalized software development
costs of $7.3 million, capitalized work force of $1.7 million, assumed
liabilities of $8.2 million and a non-recurring charge of $33.8 million
related to acquired research and development has been reflected in the book
value per share calculation. These amounts are preliminary estimates as of
the dates presented. The actual amounts recorded in purchase accounting will
be determined subsequent to the Effective Time.

<PAGE> 25
RISK FACTORS
The following factors should be considered carefully by Intrepid
Shareholders in evaluating how to vote on the Merger Proposal. For periods
following the Effective Time, references to the products, business, financial
results, financial condition or business prospects of PeopleSoft should be
considered to refer to the Combined Company, unless the context otherwise
requires. This Prospectus/Proxy Statement contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the
Exchange Act. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in
such forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors set forth below
and elsewhere in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement.
RISKS RELATING TO THE MERGER
Fixed Maximum/Minimum Merger Share Amount. As a result of the Merger, each
outstanding share of Intrepid Capital Stock will be converted into the right to
receive the number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock as determined by the
Merger Agreement. The actual Merger Share Amount will depend upon the actual
capitalization of Intrepid at the Effective Time, whether a Pooling Merger or a
Purchase Merger occurs and whether the Andersen Consulting Agreement has been
amended as required. See "TERMS OF THE MERGER -- Manner and Basis of Converting
Shares; Treatment of Options." The Merger Agreement does not provide for
adjustment of the maximum and minimum Merger Share Amount based on fluctuations
in the price of PeopleSoft Common Stock. Accordingly, the indicated value of the
consideration to be received by Intrepid Shareholders in the Merger will depend,
in addition to these other factors, on the market price of PeopleSoft Common
Stock at the Effective Time. The closing sale price of PeopleSoft Common Stock
on Nasdaq on June 3, 1998, the last trading day prior to the public announcement
of the proposed Merger, was $42.00, and on July 8, 1998 (the most recent
practicable date prior to the printing of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement) was
$50.88. However, there can be no assurance as to the market price of PeopleSoft
Common Stock at any time prior to, on or after the Effective Time. See
"-- Volatility of Stock Price" and "STOCK PRICE AND DIVIDEND INFORMATION."
Accounting Treatment of Merger. PeopleSoft and Intrepid intend for a
Pooling Merger to occur. If a Purchase Merger occurs, the aggregate
consideration payable to Intrepid Shareholders will be reduced by 227,506 shares
(valued at $10 million assuming a PeopleSoft Common Stock price of $43.955 per
share; however, the actual value will depend on the PeopleSoft share value at
the Effective Time) in comparison to a Pooling Merger. In order for a Pooling
Merger to occur, among other conditions that must be satisfied, the Required
Pooling Vote must be obtained. While PeopleSoft, which as of July 8, 1998, owned
618,746 shares, or 9.0% of the total outstanding shares, of Intrepid Common
Stock, and 96,924 and 15,577 shares, or 19.3% and 10.6% of the total outstanding
shares, of Series B and Series C Intrepid Preferred Stock, respectively, will
vote all of such shares in favor of the Merger Proposal, and the directors and
officers and certain other Intrepid Shareholders who, as a group, as of July 8,
1998, owned 5,004,062 shares, or 72.8% of the total outstanding shares, of
Intrepid Common Stock, and 226,211, 345,903 and 105,481 shares, or 43.0%, 68.9%
and 72.0% of the total outstanding shares, of Series A, Series B and Series C
Intrepid Preferred Stock, respectively, have agreed in the Voting Agreements to
vote all of their shares in favor of the Merger Proposal and granted to
PeopleSoft an irrevocable proxy and power of attorney to vote all of such shares
in favor of the Merger Proposal, such aggregate number of shares represents only
81.8%, 43.0%, 88.2%, 82.6% and 67.3% of the total outstanding shares of Intrepid
Common Stock, Series A Intrepid Preferred Stock, Series B Intrepid Preferred
Stock, Series C Intrepid Preferred Stock and Intrepid Capital Stock,
respectively. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the necessary vote for a
Pooling Merger to occur will be obtained. See "THE INTREPID SPECIAL MEETING."
Escrow Shares. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the
Merger, a number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock equal to ten percent (10%)
of the Merger Share Amount will be issued to the Escrow Agent on behalf of the
Intrepid Shareholders as security for certain indemnification obligations under
the Merger Agreement. These indemnification obligations could be triggered after
the Effective Time if Intrepid has breached any of its representations,
warranties or covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement including, without
limitation, the collection of amounts owing to Intrepid on account of certain
receivables totaling approximately $3.1 million owed by Venator and Edison
Brothers by December 31, 1998. The Escrow
14
<PAGE> 26
Shares are required to remain in the Escrow Account for one year after the
Effective Time (and beyond such one year period if prior to the expiration
thereof there is pending any such claim for indemnification). No assurance can
be given whether any of such Escrow Shares will ultimately be distributed to
Intrepid Shareholders. See "TERMS OF THE MERGER -- Escrow Shares."
Intrepid Special Agreements. The Merger Agreement provides for a reduction
in the indicated value of the Merger Share Amount or the termination of the
Merger Agreement, at the election of PeopleSoft, in the event either or both of
the Intrepid Special Agreements is not amended in a manner acceptable to
PeopleSoft on or before the date of the Intrepid Special Meeting. As of the date
hereof, the Microstrategy Agreement has been amended in a manner acceptable to
PeopleSoft, but the Andersen Consulting Agreement has not been amended. If the
Andersen Consulting Agreement is not so amended and PeopleSoft does not elect to
terminate the Merger Agreement, the Merger Share Amount will be reduced by a
number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock with an aggregate indicated value of
$1.35 million. There can be no assurance that the Andersen Consulting Agreement
will be amended as and when required in order for the Merger Share Amount not to
be reduced as described above or for PeopleSoft not to have the election of
terminating the Merger Agreement.
Securityholder Agent. The Merger Agreement provides that Richard White will
act as agent for each Intrepid Shareholder in certain matters involving the
Escrow Shares. As Securityholder Agent, Richard White will have the right, among
other things, to compromise and settle claims made by PeopleSoft against the
Escrow Shares. An Intrepid Shareholder's vote to approve of the Merger Proposal
also effectively constitutes acceptance of Richard White as Securityholder Agent
to act as such in accordance with the Merger Agreement. No assurance can be
given that the Securityholder Agent would act in the manner desired by any
single Intrepid Shareholder and decisions made by the Securityholder Agent could
have the effect of reducing the total consideration ultimately received by each
Intrepid Shareholder in the Merger. See "TERMS OF THE MERGER -- Securityholder
Agent."
Dilution. Based on the maximum Merger Share Amount and the total number of
shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock outstanding as of June 30, 1998, holders of
Intrepid Capital Stock and vested Intrepid Stock Options would hold an aggregate
number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock equal to less than 1% of the total
issued and outstanding shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock following the Merger.
However, such number of shares issued to the Intrepid Shareholders after the
Merger will cause a dilution of earnings per share which may negatively affect
the market price of PeopleSoft Common Stock. There can be no assurance that any
such negative effect on the market price for PeopleSoft Common Stock will be
limited in either magnitude or period of time. See "COMPARATIVE HISTORICAL AND
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA PER SHARE DATA."
RISKS RELATED TO THE COMBINED COMPANY
Integration of Operations. The integration into PeopleSoft of Intrepid's
operations following the Merger will require the dedication of management
resources which will temporarily detract PeopleSoft and the former Intrepid
management from attention to the day-to-day business of the Combined Company.
Both companies rely heavily on information and communications systems for
conducting their day to day operations, and such systems must be quickly and
seamlessly combined to maintain the productivity levels within the overall
organization. There also can be no assurance that the Combined Company's ability
to increase or maintain revenue will not be diminished by product transitions,
loss of personnel or other factors resulting from the Merger. See "MANAGEMENT OF
THE COMBINED COMPANY FOLLOWING THE MERGER."
Retention of Key Intrepid Personnel. The difficulties of integrating
Intrepid with PeopleSoft may be exacerbated by the necessity of integrating
personnel with disparate business backgrounds and combining two different
corporate cultures. PeopleSoft believes that the retention of certain Intrepid
employees is critical to ensure continued advancement, development and support
of Intrepid's technology as well as continuing the sales and marketing efforts
with respect to its products. PeopleSoft has attempted to implement a retention
program for key Intrepid employees; however, no assurance can be given that any
of such employees will
15
<PAGE> 27
remain with the Combined Company after the Merger. The two companies have
different operating policies and practices which may cause attrition of
employees.
Customers. There can be no assurance that customers of PeopleSoft and
Intrepid will continue their current buying patterns without regard to the
Merger. Any significant delay or reduction in orders for PeopleSoft's or
Intrepid's products and services could have a material adverse effect on the
Combined Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Certain customers of Intrepid may cancel or defer orders for Intrepid's products
as a result of the announcement of the Merger. Any such cancellations or
deferrals could have an adverse effect on the Combined Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations. These effects may occur with
respect to each company during the period prior to the consummation of the
Merger or following the Merger. Prior to 1998, Intrepid marketed an AS/400 based
version of its merchandise management product suite, and this product was
licensed by several customers. Such customers may be reluctant to migrate to
PeopleTools Evolution, either in the near term or possibly in the long term. To
the extent that PeopleSoft elects to discontinue support for the prior versions
of the AS/400 based products, and not all customers have migrated to the newer
PeopleTools Evolution product, the Combined Company may create some negative
goodwill within such customers.
Reliance on Intrepid Products and Integration with PeopleSoft
Products. Prior to negotiation of the Merger, Intrepid's merchandise management
software designed for the retail industry was ported to PeopleSoft's PeopleTools
software product but was not fully integrated with PeopleSoft's financial
management software applications. PeopleSoft believes that the full integration
of the merchandise management module will provide PeopleSoft with a key
differentiation within its target markets. There can be no assurance, however,
that such successful product integration will be achieved. In the event that
PeopleSoft is subsequently unable to fully integrate its financial management
modules with Intrepid's merchandise management software, the relative
desirability of this enterprise solution would be diminished, and there is
likely to be an adverse impact on the revenues derived from or otherwise
potentially attainable from the retail industry.
Dependence on Third Party Technology. PeopleSoft incorporates numerous
critical third party software products into its software product offerings under
reseller license agreements with third parties. In the event that any of
PeopleSoft's licenses to such software are terminated, there could be a material
adverse effect to PeopleSoft including its products becoming inoperable or their
performance being materially reduced. If any of the third party software vendors
change their product offerings, PeopleSoft may need to incur additional
engineering costs to ensure continued performance of its products. In addition,
material increases in the cost to license any of these third party software
products could result in a material adverse change from PeopleSoft's historical
gross margin levels.
PeopleSoft relies on existing partnerships with certain other software
vendors who are also competitors. For example, PeopleSoft partners with Oracle
when PeopleSoft customers select an Oracle database to run in conjunction with
PeopleSoft's financial package. However, Oracle is a competitor of PeopleSoft in
the financial data management area. These partners/competitors may change their
business practices in the future resulting in PeopleSoft's need do find
alternative vendors of complementary software.
Adverse Impact of Operating Losses. Intrepid has been operating at a loss
over the past several years, and in addition, such operations incurred a
substantial loss in the first quarter of 1998 due primarily to product
transition issues. Such losses, were they to continue, would have an adverse
effect on the Combined Company's results of operations, which in turn may have
an adverse effect on the market price of the PeopleSoft Common Stock.
Fluctuations in Quarterly Operating Results. PeopleSoft's revenues and
operating results can vary substantially from quarter to quarter. License fee
revenues in any quarter are substantially dependent on aggregate contracting
activity and PeopleSoft's ability to recognize revenue in that quarter in
accordance with its revenue recognition policies. Contracting activity is
difficult to forecast for a variety of reasons, including the following: (i) a
significant portion of PeopleSoft's license agreements are completed within the
last few weeks of each quarter; (ii) the duration of PeopleSoft's sales cycle is
relatively long and increasingly variable because PeopleSoft has broadened its
marketing emphasis to encompass software product solutions for each
16
<PAGE> 28
customer's overall business, thereby increasing the financial value of
individual transactions and the complexity of the customer selection,
negotiation and approval process; (iii) the size of license transactions can
vary significantly; (iv) system replacement projects and new system evaluations
may be postponed or canceled at any time due to changes in a customer's project,
company management, budgetary constraints or strategic priorities; (v) customer
evaluations and procurement processes vary significantly from company to
company, and a customer's internal approval and expenditure authorization
process can be arduous, even after selection of a vendor; (vi) the number,
timing and significance of software product enhancements and new software
product announcements by PeopleSoft and its competitors; and (vii) potential
customer evaluations of their legacy systems and their decisions whether to
repair or replace existing applications which have year 2000 operability issues.
With respect to potential customer evaluations of their year 2000 operability
issues, while PeopleSoft believes that such evaluations to date have, on
balance, increased demand for its applications, such demand is subject to change
as the year 2000 draws closer since lead times required to complete systems
implementations preclude system replacement as a timely solution to the year
2000 issue. Given the lack of precedent for this issue, PeopleSoft's ability to
forecast accurately the impact of the issue on its quarter to quarter revenues
is limited, and changes in PeopleSoft's sales incentive plans have had and may
continue to have an unpredictable impact on seasonal business patterns; and,
finally, changes in economic, political and market conditions can adversely
impact business opportunities without reasonable notice.
PeopleSoft's recognition of license fee revenue can be deferred for a
significant period of time after execution of the related license agreements as
a result of several factors, including the following: (i) the license agreement
may be entirely related to then currently undeliverable software products; (ii)
enterprise transactions may include software products that are then currently
deliverable, as well as software products that are still under development. To
the extent that PeopleSoft enters into a license agreement for the provision of
both software product categories, PeopleSoft must have established separate
values for all elements under the license agreement, and the license agreement
and supporting schedules to the license agreement must contain precise
contractual provisions consistent with GAAP to permit any revenue recognition
under the license agreement. Other factors in determining PeopleSoft's
recognition of license fee revenue include the following: (i) whether the
customer demands services that include significant modifications, customizations
or complex interfaces; (ii) whether the license agreement includes non-standard
acceptance criteria which may preclude revenue recognition prior to customer
acceptance; and (iii) whether the license agreement includes fees with extended
payment terms or fees that are dependent upon acceptance of services or other
contingencies. All of the above factors, as well as other specific requirements
under recently published generally accepted accounting standards for software
revenue recognition, recreate circumstances under which PeopleSoft must have
very precise terms in its license agreements in order to recognize revenue upon
initial software product delivery. Although PeopleSoft has a standard form of
license agreement which meets the criteria under GAAP for current revenue
recognition, PeopleSoft must often negotiate and revise certain terms and
conditions in large enterprise transactions. Negotiation of mutually acceptable
language can extend the sales cycle and, in certain situations, PeopleSoft does
not always obtain terms and conditions which permit recognition of revenue at
the time of delivery or using ratable contract accounting.
PeopleSoft's service revenues may vary from quarter to quarter due to
variances in prior quarter contracting activity because service revenue
typically lags license fee revenue. PeopleSoft's ability to increase services
revenue is dependent on its ability to increase the number of its licensing
agreements which provide opportunities for consulting, training, and subsequent
maintenance revenues. Additionally, PeopleSoft may not be able to recruit, hire,
and train sufficient numbers of qualified consultants to perform such services.
Possible Adverse Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncement. Statement of
Position ("SOP") 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition" was issued by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board in October 1997 and addresses software
revenue recognition matters. SOP 97-2 supersedes SOP 91-1 and is effective for
transactions entered into for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
PeopleSoft believes its current revenue recognition policies and practices are
materially consistent with SOP 97-2. However, implementation guidelines for this
SOP have not yet been issued and a wide range of potential interpretations are
being discussed within the accounting profession. Once available, such
implementation guidelines could lead to
17
<PAGE> 29
unanticipated changes in PeopleSoft's current revenue accounting practices, and
such changes could materially adversely affect PeopleSoft's future revenue and
net income.
In addition, such implementation guidance may necessitate substantial
changes in PeopleSoft's business practices in order for PeopleSoft to continue
to recognize a substantial portion of its license fee revenue upon delivery of
its software products. Such changes may reduce demand, extend sales cycles,
increase administrative costs and otherwise adversely affect PeopleSoft's
operations. In addition, PeopleSoft could become competitively disadvantaged
relative to foreign-based competitors not subject to U.S. GAAP.
Operating Leverage. Like many of its competitors, PeopleSoft's business
model is characterized by a very high degree of operating leverage. Employee and
facility related expenditures comprise a significant portion of PeopleSoft's
operating costs and expenses, and over the short term are relatively fixed. In
addition, PeopleSoft's expense levels and hiring plans are based, in significant
part, on PeopleSoft's projections of future revenue. If actual revenue fall
below expectations, net income is likely to be disproportionately adversely
affected. There can be no assurance that PeopleSoft will be able to increase or
even maintain its current level of profitability on a quarterly or annual basis
in the future.
Future Operating Results Uncertain; Seasonality. Segments of the software
industry have experienced significant economic downturns characterized by
decreased product demand, price erosion, technological shifts, work slowdowns
and layoffs. PeopleSoft's operations may, in the future, experience substantial
fluctuations from period to period as a consequence of such industry patterns,
general economic conditions affecting the timing of orders from customers, and
other factors affecting capital spending. There can be no assurance that any one
or more of such factors will not have a materially adverse effect on
PeopleSoft's business, operating results, financial condition or business
prospects.
The operating results of many software companies reflect seasonal trends,
and PeopleSoft has been, and expects to continue to be, affected by such trends
in the future. PeopleSoft's seasonal revenue patterns, which are typically
characterized by relatively weak first and second quarters and relatively
stronger third and fourth quarters, can be caused by a variety of factors,
including sales incentives, customer demand based on available capital budgets
and release of new technologies.
International Operations. PeopleSoft has committed, and expects to continue
to commit substantial resources and funding to build its international service
and support infrastructure. Operating costs in many countries, including many of
those in which PeopleSoft operates, are higher than in the United States. In
order to increase international sales in 1998 and subsequent periods, PeopleSoft
must continue to globalize its software product lines, expand existing and
establish additional foreign operations, hire additional personnel, identify
suitable locations for sales, marketing, customer service and development, and
recruit international distributors and resellers in selected territories. If
PeopleSoft's international expansion and/or product globalization are not
successful, it is likely to have a negative effect on PeopleSoft's operating
results.
PeopleSoft's sales through its foreign operations are generally denominated
in the functional currency of each of its foreign subsidiaries. Unexpected
changes in the exchange rates for these foreign currencies could result in
significant fluctuations in the foreign currency transaction and translation
gains and losses in future periods. In January 1998, PeopleSoft implemented a
hedging program designed to mitigate the potential impact of exchange rate
fluctuations. In addition to hedging existing transaction exposures,
PeopleSoft's foreign exchange management policy allows for the hedging of
anticipated transactions, and exposure resulting from the translation of foreign
financial results into U.S. Dollars. Such hedges can only be undertaken to the
extent that the exposures are highly certain, reasonably estimable, and
significant in amount. PeopleSoft began hedges of such anticipated transactions
and translation exposures in the first quarter of 1998 using forward and option
contracts. However, if PeopleSoft is unable to hedge potential significant
exposures due to lack of certainty or ability to reasonably estimate its foreign
exchange exposure, there could be a material adverse effect on PeopleSoft's
operating results.
Competition. The market for business application software has been
intensely competitive for the past three years and is currently intensifying.
PeopleSoft faces competition from a variety of software vendors including
enterprise application software vendors, manufacturing application software
vendors, enterprise
18
<PAGE> 30
resource optimization application software vendors, financial management systems
and HRMS application software vendors and software tools vendors. Although
PeopleSoft believes its success has been due in part to its early emphasis on
the client/server architecture, virtually all of PeopleSoft's competitors now
offer software products based on a client/server architecture. Consequently,
competitive differentiators now include more subtle architectural and
technological factors, such as web enablement, enterprise software product
breadth and individual product features, service reputation, product
flexibility, ease of implementation, international software product version
availability and support, and price. Price competition has increased recently
and this trend may continue in the future.
In the enterprise application software market, PeopleSoft faces significant
competition from SAP AG and Oracle Corporation and, to a lesser degree, Dun &
Bradstreet Software (now operating as two separate divisions of Geac Computer
Systems, Inc.), Computer Associates International, Inc. and other companies such
as System Software Associates who previously focused primarily on the AS/400
marketplace. In this market, the chief competitive factors include the breadth
and completeness of the enterprise solution offered by each vendor, the extent
of software product integration across the enterprise solution and the
availability of localized software products and technical support in key markets
outside the United States. Primarily due to their significant worldwide presence
and longer operating and product development history, both SAP and Oracle have
certain competitive advantages over PeopleSoft in each of these areas. In
addition, both SAP and Oracle have substantially greater financial, technical
and marketing resources, and a larger installed base, than PeopleSoft.
Furthermore, Oracle's RDBMS (relational database management system) is a
supported platform underlying a significant share of PeopleSoft's installed
applications.
PeopleSoft recently entered the manufacturing software application markets.
In these markets, PeopleSoft faces competition from several of its existing
competitors, including those listed immediately above, and others such as Baan
Company N.V., QAD, Ross Systems, J.D. Edwards and a large number of niche
competitors already in the manufacturing market.
In addition, since its acquisition of Red Pepper Software in the fourth
quarter of 1996, PeopleSoft has competed in the emerging enterprise resource
optimization software solutions market. PeopleSoft faces several current and
potential competitors in this market, including: (i) companies such as i2
Technologies, Manugistics and Numetrix Software, which have developed or are
attempting to develop advanced planning and scheduling software products which
complement or compete with MRP (material requirements planning) solutions; (ii)
other companies that provide specialized planning and scheduling software for
niche markets, including Chesapeake Systems, Waterloo Manufacturing Software,
MAPICS, Inc. (formerly Marcam Corporation), Marcam Solutions, Inc. and Cap
Logistics; (iii) other business application software vendors that may broaden
their product offerings by internally developing (such as SAP's recently
announced initiatives in this area), acquiring (such as Baan's recent
acquisitions of Berclain Group, Inc. and Antalys, Inc.) or partnering with
independent developers of advanced planning and scheduling software; (iv)
internal development efforts by corporate information technology departments of
potential customers; and (v) companies offering standardized or customized
products on mainframe and/or mid-range computer systems.
PeopleSoft also faces competition from providers of HRMS software products
including Cyborg Systems ("Cyborg"), Lawson Associates ("Lawson"), Integral
Systems, Inc. ("Integral"), InPower, Inc. ("InPower") and Ceridian ("Ceridian"),
and from providers of financial management systems software products including
Computron Software, Inc., Flexiware International ("Flexiware"), Hyperion
Software ("Hyperion"), Lawson, and other smaller companies. In addition, SMS has
the right to sublicense selected PeopleSoft software products in competition
with PeopleSoft's marketing efforts in selected markets.
In addition, as the year 2000 approaches, potential customers may consider
outsourcing options, including data center outsourcing and service bureaus, as
viable alternatives to purchasing PeopleSoft's software products, which in turn
may result in increased competition from outsource services such as Computer
Science Corporation (CSC), Electronic Data Systems Corporation (EDS), IBM, ADP,
Ceridian, and other smaller companies.
19
<PAGE> 31
Intense competition could potentially lead to increased price competition
in the market, forcing PeopleSoft to reduce prices resulting in reduced gross
margins and loss of market share by PeopleSoft which, in turn, could materially
adversely affect PeopleSoft's business, operating results, financial condition
or business prospects. In recent quarters, PeopleSoft has observed increasingly
aggressive pricing practices on the part of its competitors. There can be no
assurance that PeopleSoft will continue to compete successfully with its
existing competitors or will be able to compete successfully with new
competitors.
Reliance on Proprietary Software Development Tools. PeopleSoft's software
products include a suite of proprietary software development tools known as
"PeopleTools," which are fundamental to the effective use of PeopleSoft's
software products. While no industry standard exists for software development
tools, several companies have focused on providing software development tools
and each of them is attempting to establish its software development tools as
the accepted industry standard. In addition, Microsoft is attempting to
establish several standards in the market place including software development
tools, middleware and OLAP tools. In the event that a software product other
than PeopleTools becomes the clearly established and widely accepted industry
standard, PeopleSoft may need to abandon or modify PeopleTools in favor of such
an established standard, may be forced to redesign its software products to
operate with such third party's software development tools, or may be faced with
the potential sales obstacle of marketing a proprietary software product against
other vendors' software products incorporating a standardized software
development toolset. Accordingly, in any of these cases, PeopleSoft's results of
operations or business prospects could be materially adversely affected.
Reliance on Third Parties for Sales and Marketing. A key aspect of the
sales and marketing strategy for the Combined Company is to build and maintain
strong working relationships with businesses PeopleSoft believes play an
important role in the successful marketing of its software products.
PeopleSoft's customers and potential customers often rely on third party system
integrators to develop, deploy and manage client/server applications. These
include: (i) RDBMS software vendors; (ii) hardware vendors which offer both
hardware platforms and, in the case of IBM, proprietary RDBMS products on which
PeopleSoft's software products run; (iii) technology consulting firms and
systems integrators, some of which are active in the selection and
implementation of large information systems for the information-intensive
organizations that comprise PeopleSoft's principal customer base; and (iv)
benefits consulting firms that are active in the implementation of HRMS.
PeopleSoft believes that its marketing and sales efforts are enhanced by the
worldwide presence of these companies. However, there can be no assurance that
these companies, most of which have significantly greater financial and
marketing resources than PeopleSoft, will not start, or in some cases increase,
the marketing of business application software in competition with PeopleSoft,
or will not otherwise discontinue their relationships with or support of
PeopleSoft. If PeopleSoft or its partners are unable to recruit and adequately
train a sufficient number of consulting personnel to support the implementation
of PeopleSoft's software products, demand for these software products could be
materially adversely affected. In addition, PeopleSoft's software application
architecture, including PeopleTools, may facilitate reduced implementation
efforts for customers compared to their alternatives. Consequently, PeopleSoft's
software products may be a less desirable recommendation alternative for
integrators who both provide selection advice and generate consulting fees from
customers by providing implementation services. Due to the foregoing factors, it
is reasonably possible that in a future quarter or quarters PeopleSoft's
operating results could fall short of the published expectations of certain
public market financial analysts.
Complexity of Software Products and Product Development. The market for
PeopleSoft's software products is characterized by rapid technological change,
evolving industry standards, changes in customer requirements and frequent new
product introductions and enhancements. PeopleSoft's future success will depend
in part upon its ability to continue to enhance and expand its core
applications, to continue to provide enterprise solutions, to enter new markets
and to develop and introduce new products that keep pace with technological
developments, satisfy increasingly sophisticated customer requirements and
achieve market acceptance. If PeopleSoft is unable to enhance existing products
or develop and introduce new products in a timely manner, PeopleSoft's business,
results of operations, financial condition or business prospects could be
materially adversely affected.
20
<PAGE> 32
PeopleSoft's software products can be licensed for use with a variety of
popular industry standard RDBMSs. There may be future or existing RDBMS
platforms which achieve popularity within the business application marketplace
and on which PeopleSoft may desire to offer its applications. Such future or
existing RDBMS products may or may not be architecturally compatible with
PeopleSoft's software product design. No assurance can be given concerning the
successful development of PeopleSoft software products on additional platforms,
the specific timing of the releases of any future software products, the
performance characteristics of PeopleSoft applications on additional platforms
or their acceptance in the marketplace.
Beginning with Release 6, PeopleSoft integrated certain features of BEA's
Tuxedo product into its applications. Over the next several releases, additional
Tuxedo features will be integrated to allow applications to run on a distributed
basis using a multi-tiered client/server architecture. Cognos' Powerplay product
and Arbor's Essbase product will be bundled to incorporate desktop on-line
analytical processing ("OLAP") capabilities. Such enhancements may be critical
to the competitiveness of PeopleSoft's software products in the future.
Integration of these and other products is complex and no assurance can be made
that these efforts will be successful or result in significant software product
enhancements.
Software programs as complex as those offered by PeopleSoft are likely to
contain a number of undetected errors or "bugs" when they are first introduced
or as new releases are thereafter released. Despite testing by PeopleSoft and by
third-parties, errors or system performance issues may arise with the possible
result of reduced acceptance of PeopleSoft's software products in the
marketplace. Due to the increasing number of possible combinations of vendor
hardware platforms, operating systems and updated versions, PeopleSoft
application software products and updated versions, and RDBMS platforms and
updated versions, the effort and expense of developing, testing and maintaining
these software product lines in an increasing number of combinations will
increase, and the ability to develop consistent software product performance
characteristics across all of these combinations could place a significant
strain on PeopleSoft's development resources and software product release
schedules.
Reliance on Single Client Interface. At the present time, PeopleSoft
supports client platforms utilizing browsers certified to run its Java-based Web
client, or Microsoft's Windows family of software products, including Windows
3.1 (PeopleSoft releases prior to Release 6 only), Windows NT and Windows 95. If
Microsoft were to fundamentally change the architecture of its software product
such that users of PeopleSoft's software applications experience significant
performance degradation or were rendered incompatible with future versions of
Microsoft's Windows Operating System, PeopleSoft's results of operations or
business prospects could be materially adversely affected. The use of a Web
browser (running on either a PC or network computer) to access client/server
systems is emerging as an alternative to the traditional desktop access through
Microsoft Windows based personal computers. Such client access via the Internet
will be subject to numerous risks inherent in utilizing the Internet including
security, availability and reliability. There may be future or existing client
platforms which achieve popularity within the business application marketplace
and on which PeopleSoft may desire to offer its applications. Such future or
existing client platforms may or may not be architecturally compatible with
PeopleSoft's software product design. No assurance can be given concerning
PeopleSoft's successful support for new client platforms, the specific timing of
their availability or their acceptance in the marketplace.
Reliance on Joint Business Arrangements. PeopleSoft has entered, and may in
the future enter, into various development or joint business arrangements for
the purpose of developing new software products or extensions to its existing
software products. Under these development arrangements, PeopleSoft is generally
the exclusive remarketer of the developed software products and pays a royalty
to the funding entities based on license fees received from end user licenses of
these software products. Under such joint business arrangements, PeopleSoft may
distribute or jointly sell with its business partner an integrated software
product. While the intent of such arrangements is to develop business
applications which are integrated with PeopleSoft's software products, there can
be no assurance that such software products will in fact be integrated or that
an integrated enterprise solution will be accepted by the market. In addition,
should such arrangements require additional investments from third parties or
business partners to complete development or enhance the software product, there
can be no assurance that investments will be available on terms mutually
acceptable to PeopleSoft and the business partner or the existing or other
potential third party funding source(s). Should
21
<PAGE> 33
PeopleSoft acquire title to the software products or technology from the third
party entity, such an acquisition might be accounted for using the purchase
method, which is likely to result in either or both of the following accounting
treatments: (i) a charge to earnings for in-process research and development
which would be recorded in PeopleSoft's statement of income in the period such
acquisition was completed; or (ii) the creation of significant intangible assets
by virtue of an allocation of a substantial portion of the purchase price to the
acquired technology or other intangible assets. Such intangible assets would be
amortized in future periods as a cost of operations. Should either of these
scenarios occur, the results of operations of one or more future periods could
be materially adversely affected. For example, in connection with its
acquisition of PMI in 1996, PeopleSoft incurred a one-time charge to earnings of
$22.5 million for in-process research and development.
Application Security Architecture. PeopleSoft's application software
products incorporate extensive security features designed to protect certain
sensitive data managed by these applications from unauthorized retrieval or
modification. PeopleSoft has developed a security architecture utilizing the
capabilities of its own applications, the client operating system software, some
of the security features contained in the RDBMS platforms on which the
applications run, as well as certain third party security products. To date,
PeopleSoft is not aware of any violations of its application security
architecture within its installed base. Although these security features are
subject to constant review and enhancement, no assurances can be given
concerning the successful implementation of these security features and their
effectiveness within a particular customer's operating environment. Should a
breach of security or a suspected breach of security occur, the accompanying
publicity or any subsequent claims against PeopleSoft could have an adverse
impact on the demand for PeopleSoft's software products and/or cause a decline
in the market price of PeopleSoft's stock and/or adversely impact PeopleSoft's
financial results due to lost or delayed closing of software licensing
opportunities.
Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights. PeopleSoft regards certain
aspects of its internal operations, software and documentation as proprietary,
and relies on a combination of contract, patent, copyright, trademark and trade
secret laws and other measures to protect its proprietary information.
PeopleSoft received its first patent in June 1995 and its second patent in
August 1995. In July 1995, PeopleSoft received title to a third patent as part
of a teaming and development agreement. In May and June of 1998, PeopleSoft
received title to its fourth and fifth patents emanating from the Red Pepper
Software technology. PeopleSoft also has two additional patent applications
pending. There can be no assurance that any issued patents will result from such
applications or that, if issued, such patents will provide any meaningful
competitive advantage. Existing copyright laws afford only limited protection.
PeopleSoft believes that, because of the rapid pace of technological change in
the computer software industry, patent, trade secret and copyright protection
are less significant than factors such as the knowledge, ability and experience
of PeopleSoft's employees, frequent software product enhancements and the
timeliness and quality of support services. There can be no assurance that these
protections will be adequate or that PeopleSoft's competitors will not
independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior
to PeopleSoft's technology. Many customers of PeopleSoft are beneficiaries of a
source code escrow arrangement to enable the customer to acquire a future
limited right to use PeopleSoft's source code solely for their internal
provision of maintenance services. This possible access to PeopleSoft's source
code may increase the likelihood of misappropriation or other misuse of
PeopleSoft's intellectual property. In addition, the laws of certain countries
in which PeopleSoft's software products are or may be licensed do not protect
PeopleSoft's software products and intellectual property rights to the same
extent as the laws of the United States.
PeopleSoft does not believe that its software products, software products
acquired from previous acquisitions, third party software products PeopleSoft
offers under sublicense agreements, PeopleSoft trademarks or other PeopleSoft
proprietary rights infringe the property rights of any third parties. However,
there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims
against PeopleSoft in the future with respect to current or future software
products owned, developed or acquired by PeopleSoft or that any such assertion
may not require PeopleSoft to enter into royalty arrangements or result in
costly litigation.
Product Liability. PeopleSoft's license agreements contain provisions
designed to limit the exposure to potential product liability claims. It is
possible, however, that the limitation of liability provisions contained in
22
<PAGE> 34
such license agreements may not be valid as a result of federal, state, local
laws or ordinances or unfavorable judicial decisions. Although PeopleSoft has
not experienced any product liability claims to date, the license and support of
its software for use in mission critical applications creates the risk of a
claim being pursued against PeopleSoft. Damage or injunctive relief resulting
under such a successful claim could have a material adverse effect on
PeopleSoft's business, operating results, financial condition or business
prospects. In addition, as PeopleSoft begins to compete in the manufacturing
software application market, the mission critical nature of such software
products may increase PeopleSoft's exposure to product liability claims against
PeopleSoft.
Management of Growth. PeopleSoft has experienced an extended period of
significant revenue growth, growth in PeopleSoft's customer base, expansion of
its software product lines and supported platforms, a significant expansion in
the number of its employees, increased pressure on the viability and scope of
its operating and financial systems and expansion in the geographic scope of its
operations. This growth has resulted in new and increased responsibilities for
management personnel and has placed a significant strain upon PeopleSoft's
management, operating and financial controls and resources, including its
services and development organizations. To accommodate recent growth, compete
effectively and manage potential future growth, PeopleSoft must continue to
implement and improve the speed and quality of its information decision support
systems, management decisions, reporting systems, procedures and controls. There
can be no assurance that PeopleSoft's personnel, procedures, systems and
controls will be adequate to support PeopleSoft's future operations.
Key Personnel. PeopleSoft believes that its continued success will depend
in large part upon its ability to attract, train and retain highly-skilled
technical, managerial and marketing personnel. PeopleSoft continues to hire a
significant number of additional sales, services and technical personnel.
Competition for the hiring of such personnel in the software industry is
intense, and PeopleSoft from time to time experiences difficulty in locating
candidates with appropriate qualifications within various desired geographic
locations, or with certain industry specific domain expertise. Any increase in
the use of non-compete agreements in various jurisdictions by entities
competitive to PeopleSoft may also have the effect of further narrowing the
available technical personnel labor pool, regardless of the actual or ultimate
enforceability of such non-compete agreements. Growth in contracting activity
could be adversely affected by PeopleSoft's ability to attract, train, retain
and manage productive sales and sales support personnel.
The loss of services of one or more of PeopleSoft's key employees could
have a materially adverse effect on PeopleSoft's business, operating results,
financial condition or business prospects. PeopleSoft has historically
experienced a very low attrition rate among its employees, especially those in
critical positions. PeopleSoft has several retention programs in place to retain
such key personnel, including granting of stock with annual vesting periods over
five years. A number of key employees have vested stock options which have a
relatively low price when compared to PeopleSoft's current stock price. These
potential gains provide these employees the economic freedom to explore personal
objectives both within and outside PeopleSoft which may result in the loss of
one or more key employees during the coming years.
It is widely recognized that the technology industry is at or beyond a
condition of full employment. There can be no assurance that PeopleSoft will be
successful in attracting, training and retaining the personnel it requires to
develop, market, sell and support new or existing software or to continue to
grow. In addition, PeopleSoft's success in penetrating key vertical markets is
dependent upon its ability to attract, train and retain personnel with industry
specific domain expertise.
Year 2000 Compliance. PeopleSoft's internal business information systems
are primarily comprised of the same commercial application software products
generally offered for license by PeopleSoft to end user customers. These
applications have been tested for Year 2000 compliance and are certified by the
Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) as Year 2000 compliant.
Therefore, PeopleSoft does not expect any Year 2000 compliance issues to arise
related to its primary internal business information systems. PeopleSoft is not
aware of any material operational issues or costs associated with preparing
internal systems for the year 2000. However, PeopleSoft utilizes other third
party vendor network equipment, telecommunication products, and other third
party software products which may or may not be Year 2000 compliant.
23
<PAGE> 35
Although PeopleSoft is currently taking steps to address the impact, if any, of
the Year 2000 issue surrounding such third party products, failure of any
critical technology components to operate properly in the year 2000 may have an
adverse impact on business operations or require PeopleSoft to incur
unanticipated expenses to remedy any problems.
Expansion of Facilities. PeopleSoft has experienced an extended period of
growth which has resulted in a significant expansion in the number of its
employees. Commercial building vacancy rates have significantly dropped in many
of the markets where PeopleSoft has significant operations. As a consequence,
PeopleSoft expects to experience increasing difficulty in obtaining additional
space within which to expand its operations. Failure to either obtain space, or
obtain it on reasonably attractive commercial terms, may inhibit PeopleSoft's
ability to grow, or otherwise adversely affect PeopleSoft's operations and
financial results.
Additionally, PeopleSoft may commit to real estate projects in order to
expand its operations to accommodate expected growth. Such real estate projects
typically have a lead time of over one year from the commitment date to
occupancy. There can be no assurance that PeopleSoft's anticipated growth
projections will be realized, and therefore, PeopleSoft may be subject to
increased fixed costs which cannot be recovered from operations, resulting in
material reductions to net income and cash flows.
Volatility of Stock Price. As is frequently the case with stock of high
technology companies, the market price of PeopleSoft Common Stock has been and
may continue to be extremely volatile. Factors such as quarterly fluctuations in
results of operations, announcements of technological innovations by PeopleSoft
or its competitors or the introduction of new software products by PeopleSoft or
its competitors, and macroeconomic conditions in the computer hardware and
software industries generally may have a significant impact on the market price
of PeopleSoft Common Stock. If PeopleSoft's revenues or earnings in any quarter
fail to meet the expectations (published or otherwise) of the investment
community, there could be an immediate material adverse effect on the market
price of PeopleSoft Common Stock. In addition, as described in "-- Possible
Adverse Effects of Recent Securities Issuances", PeopleSoft has issued shares,
stock options and warrants which, if sold directly or exercised and sold on the
open market in large numbers, could cause the stock price of PeopleSoft Common
Stock to decline in the short term. PeopleSoft can provide no assurance as to
when and if such a short-term stock price decline may be reversed. Furthermore,
the stock markets have from time to time experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations which have particularly affected the market price for many high
technology companies and which, on occasion, have been unrelated to the
operating performance of those companies. Any such broad market fluctuations may
materially adversely affect the market price of PeopleSoft Common Stock.
Possible Adverse Effects of Outstanding Warrants. At June 30, 1998, there
were outstanding warrants to purchase 6,400,000 shares of PeopleSoft Common
Stock. As of July 8, 1998 (the most recent practicable date prior to the
printing of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement), these warrants had exercise prices
below the current market price of PeopleSoft Common Stock. The exercise of any
significant number of these warrants and resale of the underlying shares could
materially adversely affect the market price of PeopleSoft Common Stock. In
addition, at July 8, 1998 (the most recent practicable date prior to the
printing of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement), there were outstanding exercisable
options to purchase 27,043,640 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock issued pursuant
to employee stock plans. As of such date options to purchase 55,000 shares of
PeopleSoft Common Stock had exercise prices above the current market price of
PeopleSoft Common Stock. The exercise of such stock options and sale of any
significant number of such underlying shares could materially adversely affect
the market price of PeopleSoft Common Stock.
Investments and Liquidity. PeopleSoft's short-term and long-term
investments in marketable securities consist primarily of high quality municipal
bonds, U.S. government securities, corporate debt securities and tax-advantaged
money market funds. Despite favorable credit ratings on these investments, there
can be no assurance that the issuers will not default on their obligations, and
any such default may result in the loss of principal and accrued interest by
PeopleSoft. While operating activities may provide cash in certain periods, to
the extent PeopleSoft experiences growth in the future, operating and investing
activities may use cash, and, consequently, such growth may require PeopleSoft
to obtain additional sources of financing. In addition, material acquisitions of
complementary businesses, products or technologies and capital expenditures may
24
<PAGE> 36
require additional sources of financing. There can be no assurance that
PeopleSoft would be able to obtain additional sources of financing or obtain
such additional financing on terms favorable to PeopleSoft.
THE INTREPID SPECIAL MEETING
GENERAL
This Prospectus/Proxy Statement is being furnished to Intrepid Shareholders
in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Intrepid Board for use at
the Intrepid Special Meeting to be held at :00 .m., California time,
on , 1998, at the offices of Intrepid, located at 1301 Harbor Bay
Parkway, Alameda, California 94502.
MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE INTREPID SPECIAL MEETING
At the Intrepid Special Meeting, Intrepid Shareholders will be asked to
consider and vote upon the Merger Proposal, pursuant to which Intrepid will be
merged with and into PeopleSoft, with PeopleSoft as the surviving corporation.
Upon consummation of the Merger, each outstanding share of Intrepid Capital
Stock will be converted into the right to receive its portion of the Merger
Share Amount in accordance with the liquidation preference of such share
pursuant to the Intrepid Articles, with cash being paid in lieu of fractional
shares. The Merger Share Amount will be determined based on whether a Pooling
Merger occurs, the Merger is to be treated as a purchase transaction under GAAP
for any reason other than the occurrence of a Purchase Merger Condition, or a
Purchase Merger occurs. Because the number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock
to be issued in the Merger is fixed, the number of shares of PeopleSoft Common
Stock allocated to each Intrepid Shareholder in the Merger will be reduced to
the extent that an Exercising Holder of an option to acquire Intrepid Common
Stock that vests on or after August 1, 1998 exercises such option prior to the
Effective Time. Likewise, the number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock
received by such Exercising Holder will be less than what such Exercising Holder
would receive (when exercised) if such Exercising Holder did not exercise such
option prior to the Effective Time. In order for the Merger to occur as a
Pooling Merger, among other things, the Required Pooling Vote must be obtained.
If a Pooling Merger occurs or if the Merger is to be treated as a purchase
transaction under GAAP for any reason other than the occurrence of a Purchase
Merger Condition, subject to possible additional reductions described below, the
Merger Share Amount will be determined by including 227,506 shares of PeopleSoft
Common Stock (valued at $10 million assuming a PeopleSoft Common Stock price of
$43.955 per share; however, the actual value will depend on the PeopleSoft share
value at the Effective Time) more than if a Purchase Merger occurs. Further, the
Merger Share Amount is subject to reduction and the Merger Agreement may be
terminated by PeopleSoft if Intrepid fails to amend, in a manner acceptable to
PeopleSoft, the Andersen Consulting Agreement on or before the date of the
Intrepid Special Meeting. If the Andersen Consulting Agreement is not so amended
and PeopleSoft does not elect to terminate the Merger Agreement, the Merger
Share Amount will be reduced by 30,713 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock (valued
at $1.35 million assuming a PeopleSoft Common Stock price of $43.955 per share;
however, the actual value will depend on the PeopleSoft share value at the
Effective Time). In addition, at the Effective Time, a number of shares of
PeopleSoft Common Stock equal to 10% of the Merger Share Amount will be issued
to the Escrow Agent on behalf of Intrepid Shareholders to be held as security
for certain indemnification obligations under the Merger Agreement and for
certain losses incurred as a result of the failure of Intrepid (or, after the
Merger, the Combined Company) to collect amounts owing to Intrepid on account of
certain receivables totaling approximately $3.1 million owed by Venator and
Edison Brothers. For more detailed information on the determination of the
consideration to be paid to Intrepid Shareholders in the Merger, see "TERMS OF
THE MERGER."
THE INTREPID BOARD HAS, BY UNANIMOUS VOTE OF ALL DIRECTORS VOTING, APPROVED
THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND DETERMINED THAT THE TERMS OF THE MERGER ARE FAIR AND IN
THE BEST INTERESTS OF INTREPID AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS AND, ACCORDINGLY, RECOMMENDS
THAT INTREPID SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE MERGER PROPOSAL. IN SUCH VOTE,
DIRECTORS STILL AND TAYLOR, WHO ARE ALSO A DIRECTOR AND AN EXECUTIVE OFFICER,
RESPECTIVELY, OF PEOPLESOFT, EITHER WERE
25
<PAGE> 37
NOT PRESENT AT OR ABSTAINED FROM SUCH VOTE BECAUSE THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH
PEOPLESOFT CREATED A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST. SEE "BACKGROUND OF AND
REASONS FOR THE MERGER -- Intrepid's Reasons For The Merger."
RECORD DATE AND VOTING
At the close of business on the Record Date, there were approximately
holders of record of the shares of Intrepid Common
Stock outstanding on such date. Each share of Intrepid Common Stock is entitled
to one vote on each of the matters properly presented at the Intrepid Special
Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were approximately
holders of record of the shares of Intrepid
Preferred Stock outstanding on such date. Each outstanding share of Intrepid
Preferred Stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares
of Intrepid Common Stock into which such share of Intrepid Preferred Stock could
be converted into as of the Record Date on each of the matters properly
presented at the Intrepid Special Meeting. As of the Record Date, each share of
Series A, Series B and Series C Intrepid Preferred Stock were entitled to
, and votes, respectively. Any
fractional votes will be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half
being rounded upward). Only Intrepid Shareholders of record at the close of
business on the Record Date will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the
Intrepid Special Meeting.
As of the Record Date, directors and executive officers and certain other
shareholders of Intrepid as a group beneficially owned shares, or
approximately % of the outstanding shares, of Intrepid Common Stock, and
, and shares, or approximately
%, % and % of the outstanding shares of Series A, Series B and
Series C Intrepid Preferred Stock, respectively, representing in the aggregate
approximately % of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of
Intrepid Capital Stock. Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, eleven Intrepid
Shareholders have agreed to vote their shares of Intrepid Capital Stock in favor
of the Merger Proposal and have granted irrevocable proxies and powers of
attorney to PeopleSoft to vote such shares in favor of the Merger Proposal at
the Intrepid Special Meeting or in any other vote in connection with the Merger
Proposal. See "TERMS OF THE MERGER -- Voting Agreements and Proxies."
As of the Record Date, PeopleSoft owned shares, or
approximately % of the outstanding shares, of Intrepid Common Stock,
and shares, or approximately % and % of
the outstanding shares of Series B and Series C Intrepid Preferred Stock,
respectively. PeopleSoft will vote all of its shares of Intrepid Capital Stock
in favor of the Merger Proposal.
If fewer shares of Intrepid Capital Stock are voted in favor of the Merger
Proposal than the number required for approval, it is expected that the Intrepid
Special Meeting will be postponed or adjourned for the purpose of allowing
additional time for soliciting and obtaining additional proxies or votes, and,
at any subsequent reconvening of the Intrepid Special Meeting, all proxies will
be voted in the same manner as such proxies would have been voted at the
original convening of the Intrepid Special Meeting, except for any proxies that
have theretofore effectively been revoked or terminated.
PROXIES AND VOTING INSTRUCTIONS
Shares of Intrepid Capital Stock represented by each proxy that is properly
completed, dated and executed will be voted at the Intrepid Special Meeting in
accordance with the instructions given thereon by the applicable Intrepid
Shareholder. If a properly executed proxy is received without voting
instructions, the shares of Intrepid Capital Stock represented by such proxy
will be voted "FOR" approval of all matters on which such shares are entitled to
vote at the Intrepid Special Meeting.
As of the date of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement, the Intrepid Board is
not aware of any business to be acted upon at the Intrepid Special Meeting other
than the Merger Proposal. If, however, any other matters properly come before
the Intrepid Special Meeting, the proxy also confers discretionary authority on
the persons named as proxies to vote upon such matters. An Intrepid Shareholder
giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is voted. The
proxy may be revoked by written notice to the Secretary of Intrepid received at
Intrepid's offices at 1301 Harbor Bay Parkway, Alameda, California 94502, before
the
26
<PAGE> 38
date of the Intrepid Special Meeting, by submitting a duly executed proxy
bearing a later date or by written notice delivered in person at the Intrepid
Special Meeting to the Secretary of Intrepid prior to the commencement of the
Intrepid Special Meeting. Attendance at the Intrepid Special Meeting will not,
in and of itself, constitute revocation of a previously granted proxy.
QUORUM, VOTES REQUIRED
For the vote on the Merger Proposal, the presence, in person or by proxy,
of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of both
Intrepid Common Stock and of Intrepid Preferred Stock entitled to vote at the
Intrepid Special Meeting will constitute a quorum.
Pursuant to California law and the terms of the Intrepid Preferred Stock,
the affirmative vote of (i) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
of Intrepid Common Stock entitled to vote at the Intrepid Special Meeting, (ii)
the holders of a majority of the votes represented by the outstanding shares of
Intrepid Preferred Stock entitled to vote at the Intrepid Special Meeting and
(iii) the holders of a majority of the votes represented by the outstanding
shares of Intrepid Capital Stock entitled to vote at the Intrepid Special
Meeting is required to approve the Merger Proposal. In addition, in order for a
Pooling Merger to occur, the Required Pooling Vote must be obtained. However,
while obtaining the Required Pooling Vote is a condition precedent to a Pooling
Merger, obtaining the Required Pooling Vote will not guarantee that a Pooling
Merger will occur, since there are other conditions set forth in the Merger
Agreement which must be satisfied in order for a Pooling Merger to occur. See
"TERMS OF THE MERGER -- Manner and Basis of Converting Shares; Treatment of
Options." If the Merger fails to qualify as a Pooling Merger, it will (assuming
all other conditions to the Merger have been satisfied or waived) occur as a
Purchase Merger. Accordingly, a failure to submit a proxy (or to vote in person
at the Intrepid Special Meeting) or an abstention by an Intrepid Shareholder
will have the same effect as a "NO" vote with respect to the Merger Proposal.
SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
Intrepid will bear the cost of soliciting proxies from the Intrepid
Shareholders, and PeopleSoft and Intrepid will share equally the cost of
printing this Prospectus/Proxy Statement. In addition to solicitation by mail,
the directors, officers and employees of Intrepid may, without being
additionally compensated, solicit proxies from Intrepid Shareholders by
telephone, telegram, facsimile or in person. Arrangements will also be made with
custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for the forwarding of solicitation material
to the beneficial owners of stock held of record by such persons, and Intrepid
will reimburse such custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.
INTREPID SHAREHOLDERS ARE REQUESTED TO SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE
ACCOMPANYING PROXY CARD PROMPTLY IN THE ENCLOSED POSTAGE-PREPAID ENVELOPE.
INTREPID SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT SEND WITH THEIR PROXY CARDS ANY
CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING THEIR SHARES OF INTREPID CAPITAL STOCK. IF THE MERGER
IS CONSUMMATED, INTREPID SHAREHOLDERS WILL RECEIVE INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING THE
PROPER PROCEDURES FOR THE EXCHANGE OF SUCH STOCK CERTIFICATES. SEE "THE
MERGER -- CONVERSION OF INTREPID CAPITAL STOCK."

BACKGROUND OF AND REASONS FOR THE MERGER
BACKGROUND OF THE MERGER
Through 1993, PeopleSoft had focused its product development and marketing
efforts on back office administrative applications, such as Human Resource
Management Systems and Financial Management Systems. In 1994, PeopleSoft
expanded its market strategy to include broad enterprise solutions by initiating
development projects at affiliated companies with the objective of creating two
new product suites, an Enterprise Resource Optimization Product Suite for
manufacturing companies and a Student Administration System for customers in
higher education.
In early 1996, PeopleSoft decided to expand its "Enterprise" strategy to
encompass additional industries, and simultaneously adopted a method for
achieving this goal which included internal development, partnering and
acquisitions. Thereafter, PeopleSoft commenced an evaluation of various
industries to assess the market opportunity, revenue potential, relative
attractiveness and applicability of its existing products, and the potential for
using its client server technology as a foundation platform for core operational
solutions within each respective industry. PeopleSoft determined the retail
industry to be attractive because it shares many characteristics that PeopleSoft
had identified as market drivers, including the following: (i) rapid and dynamic
change within certain retailing sectors, (ii) intense competition among
retailers, (iii) increased profitability pressures and associated requirements
to improve efficiency within the industry, and (iv) the need for retailers to
manage large amounts of information.
In furtherance of its strategy, in September 1996, David Rowe, Director of
Retail Product Strategy at PeopleSoft, met with Richard White, Chief Executive
Officer of Intrepid, and various other members of Intrepid management to learn
about Intrepid and its products, and initiate an assessment of Intrepid's
potential as a business partner of PeopleSoft.
In October 1996, Intrepid management met with PeopleSoft management at
PeopleSoft's Pleasanton headquarters. Various presentations were made by
Intrepid management, including but not limited to a review of Intrepid's
corporate strategy, market overview, product overview and financial position.
The participants then discussed the possibility of forming a strategic
partnership to jointly develop and market a combined applications solution for
retailers. The parties, however, did not reach an agreement on the definitive
terms of such a partnership at that meeting.
In December 1996, Aneel Bhusri, PeopleSoft's Senior Vice President of
Product Strategy, Business Development and Marketing, and Ronald Codd,
PeopleSoft's Senior Vice President of Finance and Administration and Chief
Financial Officer, met with Mr. White and Jonathan Bond, Intrepid's Vice
President Finance and Chief Financial Officer, on several occasions to discuss a
strategic partnership between their two companies. On December 24, 1996, the two
companies entered into a definitive Development and Joint Marketing Agreement
(the "Development Agreement") which included, among other terms: (1)
PeopleSoft's grant to Intrepid of a development license to PeopleTools for
Intrepid's use in the development of a suite of Merchandise Management Solutions
on PeopleSoft's client server architecture ("PeopleTools Evolution"); (2)
Intrepid's grant to PeopleSoft of a non-exclusive right to market, license and
support PeopleTools Evolution in the United States; and (3) PeopleSoft's grant
to Intrepid of a non-exclusive right to market, license and support PeopleSoft's
General Ledger and Accounts Payable products to retailers in the United States.
In conjunction with the execution of the Development Agreement, PeopleSoft
and Intrepid simultaneously entered into Series B Preferred Stock Purchase
Agreement whereby PeopleSoft purchased from Intrepid 215,385 shares of Series B
Intrepid Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 69,727 shares of Series C
Intrepid Preferred Stock. Such shares of Series B and Series C Preferred Stock
were convertible into 285,112 shares, or 11.6%, of the then issued and
outstanding shares of Intrepid Capital Stock. In addition, Ms. Margaret Taylor,
PeopleSoft's Senior Vice President of Corporate Operations, and Mr. George
Still, a member of PeopleSoft's Board of Directors, were appointed to the
Intrepid Board.
28
<PAGE> 40
In September 1997, Ms. Taylor attended a regularly scheduled meeting of the
Intrepid Board, during which Mr. White suggested that a possible business
combination of Intrepid and PeopleSoft might be beneficial to the two companies.
Ms. Taylor indicated that PeopleSoft was not prepared to entertain an
acquisition of Intrepid at that time.
At a management meeting at PeopleSoft in January 1998, Mr. Bhusri proposed
that PeopleSoft more actively pursue acquisitions in order to realize its
expanded "Enterprise" strategy. In the same meeting, it was agreed that Mr. Codd
would lead such an initiative, and would initially work on developing a set of
acquisition criteria, business processes for carrying out such acquisitions, and
assemble a team to execute acquisition transactions. It was further agreed at
this meeting that an analysis of the desirability of acquiring Intrepid should
be undertaken. Based on this analysis, in February 1998, the PeopleSoft Board
authorized PeopleSoft management to negotiate the terms of a proposed merger
with Intrepid.
On February 16, 1998, Messrs. Codd and White met in Walnut Creek,
California. At this meeting, Mr. Codd indicated to Mr. White that PeopleSoft
would be interested in exploring the potential for a combination of their two
companies. Mr. Codd agreed to follow up with a proposed schedule of events which
would lead the two companies either to an agreement to combine or to a
conclusion that continued separate existence was in the best interests of the
respective companies.
On March 10, 1998, Intrepid management met in San Ramon, California with
PeopleSoft management to conduct preliminary business due diligence and discuss
the merits of a business combination between PeopleSoft and Intrepid. During
that session, several follow-up due diligence action items were identified and
responsibilities were assigned.
From March 11, 1998 through April 30, 1998, PeopleSoft conducted due
diligence with respect to Intrepid. In addition, during this period, PeopleSoft
continued to evaluate any alternatives to the acquisition which might prove to
be more attractive from its perspective. At the conclusion of these efforts,
PeopleSoft determined that a merger of Intrepid should continue to be pursued.
On March 29, 1998, Messrs. White and Codd met in New York City to discuss
various topics, including management and personnel issues surrounding the
potential business combination of PeopleSoft and Intrepid.
On April 10, 1998, PeopleSoft held a management meeting at which Mr. Codd
provided the management group with a status report on Intrepid, a set of terms
for a proposed transaction, and a valuation analysis of Intrepid. The management
group unanimously concluded that it was in the strategic interest of PeopleSoft
to pursue a transaction along the lines proposed.
On April 30, 1998, Mr. Codd presented to Mr. White a proposed set of terms
pursuant to which PeopleSoft would agree to acquire all of the outstanding
shares of Intrepid Capital Stock. At the time of this proposal, Mr. White said
he would consider PeopleSoft's proposal and reply to PeopleSoft following his
consultation with the Intrepid Board.
On May 6, 1998, Howard Matthews, a director of Intrepid, and Mr. White met
with Mr. Codd to discuss PeopleSoft's proposal in greater detail. At the
conclusion of this meeting, Mr. Codd agreed to prepare a revised proposal which
would address various issues raised by Messrs. White and Matthews during the
meeting.
On May 8, 1998, Mr. Codd presented a revised proposal to Mr. White, who
agreed to respond after seeking the advice and counsel of Mr. Matthews.
From May 8 through June 2, 1998, Intrepid and PeopleSoft, together with
their legal advisors, negotiated the Merger Agreement and continued their legal,
financial and business due diligence of each other.
On May 26, 1998, PeopleSoft held a regularly scheduled meeting of its Board
of Directors (the "PeopleSoft Board") at which Mr. Codd presented the outline of
a proposed business combination between PeopleSoft and Intrepid. At that time,
no definitive agreement had been concluded between Intrepid and PeopleSoft, so
the PeopleSoft Board reviewed a summary of a proposed set of terms. The
PeopleSoft Board
29
<PAGE> 41
approved proceeding with the execution of a definitive agreement for a business
combination of PeopleSoft and Intrepid, subject to further negotiations within a
range of acceptable terms and conditions.
On May 28, 1998, Intrepid held a special board meeting at which management
and legal counsel briefed the board on the status of negotiations and presented
the proposed terms of the business combination based on the negotiations to
date. Board members had also been briefed periodically by management as to the
status of the negotiations during the month of May. The Intrepid Board approved
proceeding with the execution of a definitive agreement on the terms presented
to the Intrepid Board. Because of the potential conflict of interest arising
from their positions as officers and/or directors of PeopleSoft, Directors
Taylor and Still did not vote on the proposal.
On June 2, 1998, PeopleSoft completed its due diligence of Intrepid. On
that day, PeopleSoft converted 118,461 shares of its Series B Intrepid Preferred
Stock and 19,038 shares of its Series C Intrepid Preferred Stock into 533,075
and 85,671 shares of Intrepid Common Stock, respectively. That evening, the
parties reached agreement on the terms of a definitive Merger Agreement,
including new terms proposed by PeopleSoft on the basis of its due diligence.
On June 3, 1998, a special meeting of the Intrepid Board was held, at which
Intrepid's legal advisors were present and Director Taylor was not present due
to her being an officer and employee of PeopleSoft. The proposed terms of the
Merger Agreement were reviewed with emphasis on changes negotiated since May 28,
1998. After presentations were made by Intrepid management and its legal
advisors, the Intrepid Board, with an abstention due to potential conflict of
interest by Director Still, unanimously approved the Merger.
On June 3, 1998, after the close of trading on Nasdaq, the parties executed
that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of June 3, 1998 (the
"Original Merger Agreement") and related documents.
On June 4, 1998, PeopleSoft issued a news release announcing the Merger.
On June 9, 1998, the parties executed the Merger Agreement, which amended
certain provisions of the Original Merger Agreement. Such amendments were not
separately approved by either the Intrepid or PeopleSoft Board because such
amendments were deemed immaterial and within the scope of the resolutions
previously passed by the Intrepid Board and the PeopleSoft Board.
INTREPID'S REASONS FOR THE MERGER
In considering whether to approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby, the Intrepid Board considered a number of factors,
including the following factors (all of which militated in favor of the Merger):
- In the absence of the Merger, Intrepid would have needed to raise
additional funds, likely through the issuance of convertible debt or
equity, which would have diluted existing shareholders.
- In the absence of the Merger, Intrepid could have potentially achieved
higher shareholder value in the future. However, it would also have faced
significant additional risks, particularly the marketing and financial
risks typically encountered by a small company competing in an industry
increasingly served by much larger enterprise software companies.
Accordingly, the Merger represented a way to achieve shareholder
liquidity and value at a much lower risk.
- The Merger would create the potential to expand the market presence of
Intrepid's software products both in the United States and
internationally, through PeopleSoft's established global market presence.
- The potential economies of scale of the Combined Company with respect to
worldwide customer support for Intrepid's products.
- The Merger would provide Intrepid Shareholders with investment liquidity
through their ownership of PeopleSoft Common Stock, which is quoted on
Nasdaq.
- The Merger would create the potential for greater research and
development investments in Intrepid's products as a result of
PeopleSoft's greater financial resources.
30
<PAGE> 42
- The Merger would provide for a good matching of the management and
business in the Combined Company.
- The Merger is expected to qualify as a tax-free reorganization.
The Intrepid Board also considered a variety of potentially negative
factors in its deliberations concerning the Merger, including, among other
things: (i) the potential loss of revenues to the Combined Company as a result
of confusion in the marketplace and the possible exploitation of such confusion
by competitors of the Combined Company; (ii) the possibility of management
disruption associated with the Merger and the risk that, despite the efforts of
the Combined Company, it might not be able to retain key technical, sales, and
management personnel of Intrepid; (iii) the risk that the Combined Company's
ability to increase or maintain revenue might be diminished by product
transitions, loss of personnel or other factors resulting from the Merger; (iv)
the risk that the benefits sought to be achieved by the Merger will not be
achieved; (v) the risk that the Merger Share Amount will be reduced upon the
occurrence of certain conditions including, without limitation, if a Purchase
Merger occurs or if the Intrepid Special Agreements have not been amended as
required; (vi) the delayed receipt of 10% of the Merger Share Amount that will
be placed in the Escrow, and the possibility that some or all of the Escrow Fund
will be used to satisfy certain indemnification obligations under the Merger
Agreement; and (vii) other risks described under "RISK FACTORS".
In view of the wide variety of factors, both positive and negative,
considered by the Intrepid Board, the Intrepid Board did not find it practical
to, and did not, quantify or otherwise assign relative weight to the specific
factors considered. After taking into consideration all of the factors set forth
above, the Intrepid Board, by unanimous vote of all directors voting, determined
that the Merger was fair to, and in the best interests of, Intrepid and the
Intrepid Shareholders, and that Intrepid should proceed with the Merger.
Director Taylor, who is also an executive officer and employee of PeopleSoft,
did not attend the Intrepid Board meeting because her relationship with
PeopleSoft created a potential conflict of interest. Also, in such vote,
Director Still, who is also a director of PeopleSoft, abstained from such vote
because his relationship with PeopleSoft created a potential conflict of
interest.
AFFILIATE AGREEMENTS
The shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock to be issued in the Merger will be
freely transferable under the Securities Act, except for shares issued to any
person who is an affiliate of Intrepid or PeopleSoft within the meaning of Rules
144 and 145, and Accounting Releases 130 and 135, as amended, of the SEC (an
"Affiliate"). In order to increase the likelihood that the Merger will be
treated as a pooling of interests for accounting and financial reporting
purposes, Affiliate Agreements to be executed by Affiliates of Intrepid and
PeopleSoft provide that each such Affiliate will not (i) sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any shares of Intrepid Capital Stock or PeopleSoft Common
Stock, or (ii) in any way reduce such Affiliate's interest in or risk relating
to such shares of Intrepid Capital Stock or PeopleSoft Common Stock, during the
period from the thirty-day period prior to the Closing Date until one day after
such time as results of combined sales and net income covering at least 30 days
of combined operations of PeopleSoft and Intrepid have been published by
PeopleSoft in the form of a quarterly earnings report, an effective registration
statement filed with the SEC, a report to the SEC on Form 10-K, 10-Q, or 8-K, or
any other public filing or announcement which includes such results of combined
sales and net income. Such Affiliate may, however, sell or dispose of his shares
of Intrepid Capital Stock or PeopleSoft Common Stock during such period so long
as such sale or disposition is in accordance with the "de minimus" test set
forth in the Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 76 issued by the SEC.
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a summary of certain material federal income tax
considerations relevant to the exchange of shares of Intrepid Capital Stock for
shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock pursuant to the Merger that are generally
applicable to Intrepid Shareholders. PeopleSoft is expected to receive an
opinion from Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, counsel to PeopleSoft, and Intrepid is
expected to receive an opinion from Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati,
Professional Corporation, counsel to Intrepid, that, based on the
31
<PAGE> 43
representations, assumptions and limitations referred to in such opinions, the
information set forth below, to the extent it constitutes matters of law,
summaries of legal matters or legal conclusions, is the opinion of Gibson, Dunn
& Crutcher LLP and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation,
respectively.
The information set forth below is based on currently existing provisions
of the Code, existing and proposed Treasury Regulations thereunder and current
administrative rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change.
Any such change, which may or may not be retroactive, could alter the tax
consequences to PeopleSoft, Intrepid or Intrepid Shareholders as described
herein. Intrepid Shareholders should be aware that this discussion does not deal
with all federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to Intrepid
Shareholders subject to special tax rules (including insurance companies,
dealers in securities, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions, foreign
entities and persons who are not citizens or residents of the United States as
determined for federal income tax purposes), to certain Intrepid Shareholders in
light of their particular circumstances (such as shareholders exercising
dissenters' or similar rights, shareholders who acquired their Intrepid Capital
Stock upon the exercise of an option or in another compensatory transaction), or
to shareholders who do not hold their Intrepid Capital Stock as "capital assets"
within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. In addition, the following
discussion does not address the tax consequences of the Merger under foreign,
state or local tax laws, and does not address the tax consequences of
transactions effectuated prior, subsequent to or concurrently with the Merger
(whether or not any such transactions are undertaken in connection with the
Merger), including without limitation any transaction in which shares of
Intrepid Capital Stock are acquired or converted, or in which shares of
PeopleSoft Common Stock are disposed of, the assumption by PeopleSoft of the
Intrepid options or the exercise of such options, or the effect of any other
agreements relating to the performance (or refraining from the performance) of
services. ACCORDINGLY, INTREPID SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX
ADVISORS AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE MERGER, INCLUDING
THE APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES.
Based on and subject to the foregoing, the Merger will be treated as a
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (a
"Reorganization"). Accordingly, the Merger will generally result in the
following federal income tax consequences:
(a) No gain or loss will be recognized by an Intrepid Shareholder
solely upon the receipt of PeopleSoft Common Stock in exchange for Intrepid
Capital Stock in the Merger (except to the extent of cash received in lieu
of a fractional share of PeopleSoft Common Stock). Escrow Shares
transferred to an escrow fund to secure claims for indemnification that may
be made by PeopleSoft following consummation of the Merger (the "Escrow
Fund") on behalf of an Intrepid Shareholder will be treated as owned by the
Intrepid Shareholder for federal income tax purposes. Additional issues
pertaining to the Escrow Shares are discussed below.
(b) The aggregate tax basis of the PeopleSoft Common Stock received by
an Intrepid Shareholder in the Merger (reduced by any tax basis
attributable to fractional shares deemed to be disposed of), including
Escrow Shares, will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the Intrepid
Capital Stock surrendered in exchange therefor.
(c) The holding period of the PeopleSoft Common Stock received by an
Intrepid Shareholder in the Merger, including Escrow Shares, will include
the period for which the Intrepid Capital Stock surrendered in exchange
therefor was considered to be held, provided that the Intrepid Capital
Stock so surrendered is held as a capital asset at the time of the Merger.
(d) Cash payments received by an Intrepid Shareholder in lieu of a
fractional share of PeopleSoft Common Stock will be treated as if such
fractional share of PeopleSoft Common Stock had been issued in the Merger
and then redeemed by PeopleSoft.
(e) Neither PeopleSoft nor Intrepid will recognize any gain solely as
a result of the Merger.
32
<PAGE> 44
The Merger Agreement provides that shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock held
in the Escrow Fund may be required to be surrendered to PeopleSoft in certain
situations. While the federal income tax treatment of any surrender of shares of
PeopleSoft Common Stock from the Escrow Fund to PeopleSoft is not clear, any
such surrender of shares should not give rise to gain or loss to the former
Intrepid Shareholders who are deemed to have owned the shares in the Escrow Fund
prior to the surrender. Assuming that treatment is upheld, in the case of any
such surrender to PeopleSoft, the former Intrepid Shareholder's basis in any
PeopleSoft Common Stock surrendered would be allocated among the remaining
shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock received by that Intrepid Shareholder,
including other Escrow Stock. (While not clear, such basis also may have to be
allocated to shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock that have been disposed of by
that shareholder prior to such surrender). It is possible, however, that a
former Intrepid Shareholder could be required to recognize gain or loss as a
result of such surrender. The transfer of PeopleSoft Common Stock, if any, from
the Escrow Fund to the former Intrepid Shareholders pursuant to the terms of the
Merger Agreement likewise should not give rise to gain or loss to former
Intrepid Shareholder receiving such shares, although it is possible that
Intrepid Shareholders could be required to recognize a portion of the value of
the Escrow Shares as ordinary income. Each Intrepid Shareholder should consult
his or her own tax advisor as to the tax consequences of the ownership of
PeopleSoft Common Stock by, and the transfer or surrender of PeopleSoft Common
Stock from, the Escrow Fund.
Pursuant to a published ruling and several private ruling issued by the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), the PeopleSoft Rights to be received by
Intrepid Shareholders in the Merger should not give rise to income or gain upon
the Merger or otherwise affect the consequences of the Merger as set forth
above, provided that, at the time of the Merger, the likelihood that the
PeopleSoft Rights would be exercised is remote and contingent, which PeopleSoft
believes as of the date hereof to be the case. No assurance can be given that
the IRS will not change its position on the tax treatment of rights such as the
PeopleSoft Rights, nor does the foregoing address the tax consequences of an
event that would prevent PeopleSoft from redeeming the PeopleSoft Rights or
result in the ability of a PeopleSoft shareholder to exercise the PeopleSoft
Rights.
THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX DISCUSSION SET FORTH ABOVE IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL
INFORMATION ONLY. INTREPID SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS
TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
APPLICABLE TO THEM, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF FEDERAL, STATE,
LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX LAW.
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
The Merger is intended to qualify as a pooling of interests for financial
reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. If the Merger does not so qualify,
the Merger will be consummated as a purchase. Under the pooling method of
accounting, the historical book values of the assets, liabilities and
shareholders' equity of Intrepid will be carried over and combined with the
consolidated balance sheet of PeopleSoft. In addition, the historical PeopleSoft
statements of operations will be restated to combine its results with the
historical results of Intrepid for periods in which Intrepid's results are
material to PeopleSoft. Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded on PeopleSoft's balance sheet
at their fair market value as of the Effective Time. There is no restatement to
combine prior results of operations under the purchase method.

TERMS OF THE MERGER
The following discussion summarizes the proposed Merger and related
transactions. The following is not, however, a complete statement of all
provisions of the Merger Agreement and related agreements. Detailed terms of and
conditions to the Merger and certain related transactions are contained in the
Merger Agreement, a conformed copy of which (with exhibits) is attached to this
Prospectus/Proxy Statement as Annex A. Statements made in this Prospectus/Proxy
Statement with respect to the terms of the Merger and such related transactions
are qualified in their respective entireties by reference to the more detailed
information set forth in the Merger Agreement. The discussion and analysis below
contains trend analysis and other forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Actual
results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements as a result of the risk factors set forth under "RISK FACTORS" and
elsewhere in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement.
EFFECTIVE TIME
The Merger Agreement provides that the Merger will become effective upon
the filing of a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware and the filing of the certificates required by Section 1108 of the
California Corporations Code with the Secretary of State of the State of
California. It is anticipated that if the Merger Agreement is approved by the
requisite votes of the Intrepid Shareholders and all other conditions of the
Merger have been fulfilled or waived, the Effective Time will occur on or about
August 31, 1998, or on a date as soon as practicable thereafter.
At the Effective Time, Intrepid will be merged with and into PeopleSoft,
and the separate existence of Intrepid will cease.
MANNER AND BASIS OF CONVERTING SHARES; TREATMENT OF OPTIONS
The aggregate consideration (the "Merger Consideration") to be paid by
PeopleSoft (i) in exchange for all shares of Intrepid Capital Stock outstanding
as of the Effective Time and (ii) in consideration for the assumption of all
Intrepid Stock Options, will be such number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock
as equals the Merger Share Amount, plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares of
PeopleSoft Common Stock, and the Vested Unexercised Share Amount (as defined
below), respectively. In the Merger, each Intrepid Shareholder (other than
Dissenters) will receive that number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock equal
to such holder's portion of the Merger Share Amount in accordance with the
liquidation preferences of such holder's shares of Intrepid Capital Stock
pursuant to the Intrepid Articles. PeopleSoft and Intrepid intend for the Merger
to qualify as a "pooling-of-interests" under GAAP. The calculation of the Merger
Share Amount will depend on whether a Purchase Merger Condition has occurred. If
a Purchase Merger occurs because of the occurrence of Purchase Merger Condition,
the Merger Share Amount will be reduced by 227,506 shares of PeopleSoft Common
Stock (valued at $10 million assuming a PeopleSoft Common Stock price of $43.955
per share; however, the actual value will depend on the PeopleSoft share value
at the Effective Time). Because the number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock
to be issued in the Merger is fixed, the number of shares of PeopleSoft Common
Stock allocated to each Intrepid Shareholder in the Merger will be reduced to
the extent that an Exercising Holder of an option to acquire Intrepid Common
Stock that vests on or after August 1, 1998 exercises such option prior to the
Effective Time. Likewise, the number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock
received by such Exercising Holder will be less than what such Exercising Holder
would receive (when exercised) if such Exercising Holder did not exercise such
option prior to the Effective Time. However, PeopleSoft may elect to terminate
the Merger Agreement or reduce the Merger Share Amount if, on or before the date
of the Intrepid Special Meeting, Intrepid shall have failed to amend, in a
manner acceptable to PeopleSoft, either (i) that certain Value Added Reseller
Agreement, dated July 19, 1996, between Intrepid and Microstrategy (the
"Microstrategy Agreement") or (ii) that certain Alliance Agreement and Letter
Agreement, each dated March 2, 1998, between Intrepid and Andersen Consulting
(the "Andersen Consulting Agreement and, together with the Microstrategy
Agreement, the "Intrepid Special Agreements"). As of the date hereof, the
Microstrategy Agreement has been amended as required, but the Andersen
Consulting Agreement has not yet been amended. If the Andersen Consulting
Agreement is not amended as required, and PeopleSoft does not elect to terminate
the Merger Agreement each of the
34
<PAGE> 46
Pooling Merger Price and Purchase Merger Price will be reduced by 30,713 shares
of PeopleSoft Common Stock (valued at $1.35 million assuming a PeopleSoft Common
Stock price of $43.955 per share; however, the actual value will depend on the
PeopleSoft share value at the Effective Time). Dissenters will not be entitled
to any portion of the Merger Consideration, and the shares of Intrepid Capital
Stock of Dissenters shall only be entitled to such rights under applicable law.
No fractional shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock will be issued in the Merger;
Intrepid Shareholders will receive cash payments based on the Average Stock
Price (as defined below) in lieu of any fractional shares to which they may be
entitled.
In connection with the Merger, PeopleSoft will assume all outstanding
Intrepid Stock Options. Such options will become exercisable to purchase that
number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock equal to the number of shares of
Intrepid Common Stock for which they were exercisable multiplied by the Exchange
Ratio (as defined below) and rounded to the nearest whole number. The exercise
price of such options will be adjusted proportionately and any restrictions or
conditions will remain in effect. In any event, each Intrepid Stock Option
intended to be an "incentive stock option" as defined in Section 422 of the Code
will be adjusted in accordance with the requirements of Section 424 of the Code.
Each share of PeopleSoft Common Stock issued in connection with the Merger will
be accompanied by a right (a "PeopleSoft Right") to purchase one one-thousandth
of a share of Series A Participating Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of a
First Amended and Restated Preferred Shares Rights Agreement dated December 16,
1997 February between PeopleSoft and BankBoston, N.A. (the "PeopleSoft Rights
Agreement"). See "DESCRIPTION OF PEOPLESOFT CAPITAL STOCK -- Preferred Stock
Rights."
"Average Stock Price" means $43.955.
"Exchange Ratio" means the fraction of a share of PeopleSoft Common Stock
issued in exchange for each share of Intrepid Common Stock in the Merger.
"Merger Share Amount" means the difference between: (a) the Pooling Share
Amount unless a Purchase Merger Condition shall occur, in which case it shall
mean the Purchase Share Amount and (b) the Vested Unexercised Share Amount.
"Pooling Merger Price" means $60,339,000, as reduced by any applicable
amounts arising from Intrepid's failure to amend either of the Intrepid Special
Agreements.
"Pooling Share Amount" means the number of shares obtained by dividing the
Pooling Merger Price by the Average Stock Price.
"Purchase Merger Condition" means the occurrence of any of the following:
(a) the failure of the Merger to qualify for treatment as, and to be accounted
for as, a pooling-of-interests under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16
either because: (1) Intrepid failed to obtain the approval of The Merger
Proposal by the vote or votes of the outstanding class or classes of Intrepid
Capital Stock which are required to approve the Merger Proposal in order for the
Merger to qualify for treatment as, and to be accounted for as, a
pooling-of-interests under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16; or (2) of
any action taken by the Intrepid (or its affiliates) or the omission by the
Intrepid (or its affiliates) to take any action regardless of whether PeopleSoft
(or its affiliates) had taken any action or omitted to take any action before or
after the execution of the Merger Agreement that results in the Merger failing
to qualify for treatment as, and to be accounted for as, a pooling-of-interests
under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 on or before the date of the
closing of the Merger; or (b) each of the PeopleSoft and the Intrepid shall not
have received letters from Ernst & Young LLP and Deloitte & Touche LLP on the
date of the closing of the Merger regarding those firms' concurrence with the
PeopleSoft management's and the Intrepid management's conclusions, respectively,
as to the appropriateness of pooling of interests accounting for the Merger
under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 if closed and consummated in
accordance with the Merger Agreement (except for those terms applicable solely
to a Purchase Merger) other than solely as a result of any action or omission by
PeopleSoft (or its affiliates) after the date of the Merger Agreement.
"Purchase Merger Price" means $50,339,000, as reduced by any applicable
amounts arising from Intrepid's failure to amend either of the Intrepid Special
Agreements.
35
<PAGE> 47
"Purchase Share Amount" means the number of shares obtained by dividing the
Purchase Merger Price by the Average Stock Price.
"Vested Unexercised Options" means all options to purchase Intrepid Common
Stock, to the extent such options have vested prior to August 1, 1998.
"Vested Unexercised Share Amount" means the number of shares of PeopleSoft
Common Stock that would be issued to holders of Vested Unexercised Options
(solely with respect to such Vested Unexercised Options) in connection with the
Merger (where the Merger Share Amount shall be deemed, for purposes of such
calculation only, to mean the Pooling Share Amount unless a Purchase Merger
Condition shall have occurred, in which case it shall mean the Purchase Share
Amount), on the assumption that all such Vested Unexercised Options had been
exercised in full immediately prior to the Effective Time.
On June 3, 1998, the final trading day prior to the public announcement of
the Merger, the closing sale price of a share of PeopleSoft Common Stock as
reported on Nasdaq was $42.00.
On July 8, 1998 (the most recent date practicable prior to the printing of
this Prospectus/Proxy Statement), the closing sale price of a share of
PeopleSoft Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq was $50.88. There can be no
assurance as to the actual price of PeopleSoft Common Stock prior to, at, or at
any time following, the Effective Time. Accordingly, there can be no assurance
as to the actual value of the Merger Consideration that a holder of Intrepid
Capital Stock will receive in the Merger.
The maximum number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock that could be
issued to Intrepid Shareholders in the Merger is 1,372,745 shares. Since
229,368,888 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock were issued and outstanding as of
July 8, 1998, holders of Intrepid Capital Stock and vested Intrepid Stock
Options would hold an aggregate number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock
equal to less than 1% of the total issued and outstanding shares of PeopleSoft
Common Stock following the Merger.
Promptly after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent will deliver to each
Intrepid Shareholder of record a letter of transmittal with instructions to be
used by such shareholder in surrendering their Intrepid Stock Certificates.
INTREPID STOCK CERTIFICATES SHOULD NOT BE SURRENDERED BY THEIR HOLDERS UNTIL
SUCH HOLDERS RECEIVE THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL FROM THE EXCHANGE AGENT.
Upon the surrender of an Intrepid Stock Certificate to the Exchange Agent,
together with a duly executed letter of transmittal, the holder of such
certificate will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the number of
shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock, together with cash in lieu of any fractional
share interest, to which such holder is entitled pursuant to the provisions of
the Merger Agreement. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of
Intrepid Capital Stock which is not registered on the transfer records of
Intrepid, the appropriate number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock may be
delivered to a transferee if the Intrepid Stock Certificate representing such
shares of Intrepid Capital Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent properly
endorsed, together with the related letter of transmittal, and accompanied by
all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that
any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid.
Until an Intrepid Stock Certificate has been surrendered to the Exchange
Agent, such certificate will be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to
represent only the right to receive upon such surrender that portion of the
Merger Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled under the Merger
Agreement.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

relating to, among other things, (i) each of PeopleSoft's and Intrepid's

corporation. All the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of
Intrepid shall vest in PeopleSoft, and all debts, liabilities and duties of
Intrepid shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of PeopleSoft. Following
the Merger, all the directors and officers at PeopleSoft immediately prior to

permit any of Intrepid's officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives

with any party other than PeopleSoft and its designees: (a) solicit, conduct
discussions with or engage in negotiations with any person, relating to the
possible acquisition of Intrepid or any of its subsidiaries (whether by way of
merger, purchase of capital stock, purchase of assets or otherwise) or any
portion of its or their capital stock or assets; (b) provide information with

the foregoing, Intrepid has agreed that if it receives prior to the Effective
Time or the termination of the Merger Agreement any offer or proposal relating
to any of the above, it shall promptly notify PeopleSoft thereof, including
information as to the identity of the offeror or the party making any such offer
or proposal and the specific terms of such offer or proposal, as the case may
be, and such other information related thereto as PeopleSoft may reasonably
request.
INDEMNIFICATION BY INTREPID; ESCROW OF PORTION OF MERGER CONSIDERATION
In the Merger, the Escrow Shares will be issued to the Escrow Agent for
deposit into an escrow account with the Escrow Agent (the "Escrow Account"). The
Escrow Shares shall be contributed on behalf of each Intrepid Shareholder in
proportion to the aggregate number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock such
holder would otherwise receive by virtue of the Merger. The Escrow Shares will
be held in the Escrow Account as security for (i) any losses incurred by
PeopleSoft in the event of breaches by Intrepid of any of its representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement or (ii)
any portion
38
<PAGE> 50
of the $2,816,350 and $297,921.93 receivables from Venator and Edison Brothers,
respectively, that have not been collected by December 31, 1998.
SECURITYHOLDER AGENT
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Richard White shall serve as the
Securityholder Agent. The Securityholder Agent's duties include giving and
receiving notices and communications, authorizing delivery to PeopleSoft of
shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims
by PeopleSoft, objecting to such deliveries to PeopleSoft, agreeing to,
negotiating, entering into settlements and compromises of, and demanding
arbitration and complying with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with
respect to such claims, and taking all actions necessary or appropriate in the
judgment of Securityholder Agent for the accomplishment of the foregoing. Such
agency may be changed from time to time, and vacancies filled, by the former
Intrepid Shareholders holding beneficial interests in the majority of the shares
comprising the Escrow Fund as provided in the Merger Agreement. No bond shall be
required of the Securityholder Agent, and the Securityholder Agent shall not
receive compensation for his or her services. Any decision, act, consent or
instruction of the Securityholder Agent shall constitute a decision, act,
consent or instruction on behalf of all the former Intrepid Shareholders and
shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such shareholder.
BY APPROVING THE MERGER AGREEMENT, THE INTREPID SHAREHOLDERS WILL BE DEEMED
TO HAVE CONSENTED TO THE APPOINTMENT OF RICHARD WHITE, CURRENTLY PRESIDENT OF
INTREPID, TO ACT AS THE SECURITYHOLDER AGENT ON BEHALF OF ALL THE INTREPID
SHAREHOLDERS.

TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF MERGER AGREEMENT
The Merger Agreement provides that it may be terminated at any time prior
to the Effective Time, whether before or after approval of the Merger by
Intrepid Shareholders: (a) by mutual written consent of Intrepid and PeopleSoft;
(b) by PeopleSoft or Intrepid if: (i) the Effective Time has not occurred by
October 31, 1998, (ii) there shall be a final nonappealable order of a federal
or state court in effect preventing consummation of the Merger or (iii) there
shall be any statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued
or deemed applicable to the Merger by any governmental authority that would make
consummation of the Merger illegal; (c) by PeopleSoft if there shall be any
action taken, or any statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or
issued or deemed applicable to the Merger, by any governmental authority, which
would: (i) prohibit PeopleSoft's or Intrepid's ownership or operation of any
portion of the business of Intrepid after the Merger or (ii) compel PeopleSoft
or Intrepid to dispose of or hold separate, as a result of the Merger, any
material portion of the business or assets of Intrepid or PeopleSoft; (d) by
PeopleSoft if it is not in material breach of its obligations under the Merger
Agreement and there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant
or agreement contained in the Merger Agreement on the part of Intrepid and, as a
result of such breach, Intrepid would not be able to satisfy at closing its
obligations as described above; provided, however, that if such breach is
curable by Intrepid within 30 days through the exercise of its
40
<PAGE> 52
commercially reasonable efforts, then for so long as Intrepid continues to
exercise such commercially reasonable efforts PeopleSoft may not terminate the
Merger Agreement unless such breach is not cured within 30 days (but no cure
period is required for any breach which by its nature cannot be cured within 30
days); (e) by Intrepid if it is not in material breach of its obligations under
the Merger Agreement and there has been a breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement contained in the Merger Agreement on the part of
PeopleSoft and as a result of such breach PeopleSoft would not be able to
satisfy its obligations at closing as described above; provided, however, that
if such breach is curable by PeopleSoft within 30 days through the exercise of
its commercially reasonable efforts, then for so long as PeopleSoft continues to
exercise such commercially reasonable efforts Intrepid may not terminate the
Merger Agreement unless such breach is not cured within 30 days (but no cure
period is required for any breach which by its nature cannot be cured within 30
days); and (f) by PeopleSoft if, on or before the date of the Intrepid Special
Meeting, either of the Intrepid Special Agreements have not been amended in a
manner acceptable to PeopleSoft.
If the Merger Agreement is terminated as provided therein, the Merger
Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or
obligation on the part of PeopleSoft or Intrepid, or their respective officers,
directors or shareholders under the Merger Agreement, except to the extent that
such termination results from the willful and intentional breach by any party
thereto of any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in the
Merger Agreement, in which case the non-breaching party shall be entitled to
receive from the breaching party all of its third party expenses related to the
Merger and any expenses incurred in connection with any dispute arising from
such willful breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of the Merger
Agreement relating to payment of expenses, confidentiality and the effect of
termination shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of
the Merger Agreement.
Except as otherwise required by applicable law, until the Intrepid
Shareholders approve the Merger Proposed, the Merger Agreement may be amended by
the parties at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on
behalf of each of the parties. After the Intrepid Shareholders approve the
Merger Proposal, the Merger Agreement may not be amended by the parties except
as is otherwise permitted by applicable law.
EXPENSES
In connection with the Merger, PeopleSoft and Intrepid expect to incur
Merger related expenses, currently estimated to be about $750,000, consisting
primarily of fees paid to investment bankers hired by PeopleSoft, legal and
accounting fees and expenses, and other related charges. If the Merger is
accounted for as a pooling of interests, then these expenses will be charged to
PeopleSoft operations in the fiscal quarter in which the Merger is consummated,
currently expected to be the quarter ending September 30, 1998. If the Merger is
accounted for as a purchase, then the Merger related expenses will be treated as
a component of the purchase price. This amount is a preliminary estimate only
and is therefore subject to change. In addition, there can be no assurance that
PeopleSoft will not incur additional charges associated with the Merger in
subsequent quarters.
NON-COMPETITION, NON-SOLICITATION AND NON-HIRE AGREEMENTS
Each of the Key Employees and Other Management Employees has entered into a
Noncompete Agreement, which will become effective as of the date on which the
Effective Time occurs. Subject to certain de minimus exceptions, the Non-Compete
Agreements prohibit each Key Employee and Other Management Employee from
engaging or participating (for a period of two years in the case of Key
Employees and a period of one year in the case of Other Management Employees) in
a business that directly or indirectly competes in the U.S. or certain other
countries with any of the Combined Company's products. In addition, the Non-
Compete Agreements generally prohibit each Key Employee and Other Management
Employee from soliciting or hiring employees of the Combined Company or
customers of the Combined Company (for a period of two years in the case of Key
Employees and for a period of one year for Other Management Employees). SEE
"INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE MERGER."

VOTING AGREEMENTS AND PROXIES
As a condition to the Merger, each of eleven Intrepid Shareholders
identified by Intrepid at the time the Merger Agreement was executed as an
Affiliate, has entered into a Voting Agreement with PeopleSoft, pursuant to
which such shareholder has agreed to vote his shares of Intrepid Capital Stock
in favor of the Merger Proposal, and PeopleSoft has been granted an irrevocable
proxy and power of attorney to vote all of his shares of Intrepid Capital Stock
at the Intrepid Special Meeting in favor of the Merger Proposal.
AFFILIATE AGREEMENTS
As a condition to the Merger, each of eleven Intrepid Shareholders and
holders of Intrepid Stock Options, whom was identified by Intrepid as an
Affiliate at the time the Merger Agreement was executed, has entered into an
agreement with PeopleSoft restricting sales, dispositions or other transactions
by such person that would reduce such person's risk of investment in respect of
the shares of Intrepid Capital Stock held by such person prior to the Merger and
the shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock to be received by such person in the
Merger to help insure that the Merger will be treated as a pooling of interests
for accounting and financial reporting purposes. See "TERMS OF THE
MERGER -- Conditions to the Merger."
INTREPID LOAN AGREEMENT
On June 11, 1998, Intrepid entered into a Working Capital Line of Credit
(the "Intrepid Loan Agreement") with PeopleSoft, pursuant to which Intrepid may
borrow up to $5,000,000 (the "Loan") from PeopleSoft in accordance with the
terms and conditions thereof. The Loan bears interest (i) if a permit is not
issued by the California Department of Corporations with respect to an exemption
of the Loan from the usury laws under Section 25116 of the California
Corporations Code (the "Permit"), at the maximum allowable rate under applicable
usury laws, or (ii) if a Permit is issued, at the most recently established
annual interest rate for two-year U.S. Treasury notes plus six hundred (600)
basis points for the period from the date the Permit is issued through remainder
of the term of the Loan. All principal and accrued interest shall be due and
payable on the earlier of (i) June 30, 1999 (whether by acceleration or
otherwise), (ii) a Change of Control of Intrepid (as defined in the Intrepid
Loan Agreement), (iii) the closing of one or more sales of securities of
Intrepid (whether debt or equity) subsequent to the original date of the Loan in
an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or more, or (iv) upon an Event of Default (as
defined in the Intrepid Loan Agreement). If Intrepid has not paid the principal
and accrued interest under the Loan in full when due (the "Due Date") and the
Merger Agreement is terminated, then the Loan may be converted at PeopleSoft's
election into shares of Intrepid Common Stock representing up to 10% (11% if the
Permit is not issued) of the outstanding equity securities of Intrepid
immediately following such conversion. As of June 30, 1998, Intrepid had drawn
$4,000,000 from the Loan.
DISSENTERS' RIGHTS
Rights of Intrepid Shareholders to dissent from the Merger and demand
appraisal rights for their shares of Intrepid Capital Stock are governed by
Chapter 13 of California General Corporation Law (the "CGCL"), the full text of
which is reprinted as Annex B to this Prospectus/Proxy Statement. The summary of
those rights set forth below is not intended to be complete and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to Annex B. It is recommended that each Intrepid
Shareholder having questions regarding dissenters' rights under the CGCL consult
with his or her own counsel.
Under the CGCL, Intrepid Shareholders of record will have the right, by
fully complying with all of the applicable provisions of the CGCL, to dissent
with respect to the Merger and to receive from Intrepid, as applicable, payment
in cash of the "fair market value" of any or all of their shares. Under the
CGCL, "fair market value" is determined as of the day before the first
announcement of the terms of the proposed reorganization, excluding any
appreciation or depreciation in consequence of the proposed reorganization.
Cash dividends declared and paid, if any, on dissenting shares after the
date of approval of the Merger Proposal are deducted from the amount paid for
the dissenting shares. If the parties are unable to agree on fair
42
<PAGE> 54
market value, the determination of fair market value is subject to litigation,
including appellate review, with respect to Intrepid Capital Stock, in the
Superior Court for the County of Alameda, California.
Dissenters' rights cannot be validly exercised by persons other than
Intrepid Shareholders of record regardless of the beneficial ownership of the
shares. Persons who are beneficial owners of shares held of record by another
person, such as a broker, a bank or a nominee, should instruct the record holder
to follow the procedure outlined below if they wish to dissent from the Merger
with respect to any or all of their shares.
In order to perfect their dissenters' rights, Intrepid Shareholders of
record must (i) not vote their dissenting shares in favor of the Merger
Proposal, and (ii) within 30 days after the mailing to Intrepid Shareholders of
the Notice of Approval (as defined below), (A) make written demand upon Intrepid
for the purchase of their dissenting shares, and (B) submit the certificates
representing their dissenting shares to Intrepid, with the notation thereon that
they represent dissenting shares.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY OF THESE PROCEDURES MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF
STATUTORY DISSENTERS' RIGHTS.
NOT VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE MERGER PROPOSAL
Intrepid Shareholders desiring to exercise dissenters' rights must not vote
in favor of the Merger Proposal. Intrepid Shareholders of record may vote part
of the shares which they are entitled to vote in favor of the Merger Proposal
without jeopardizing their dissenters' rights as to other shares; however, if
record shareholders vote part of the shares they are entitled to vote in favor
of the Merger Proposal and fail to specify the number of shares they are so
voting, it is conclusively presumed under the CGCL that their approving vote is
with respect to all shares which they are entitled to vote. However, not voting
in favor of the Merger Proposal will not of itself satisfy the requirements of
the CGCL for exercise and perfection of dissenters' rights for Intrepid
Shareholders. In addition, Intrepid Shareholders must satisfy the additional
requirements set forth below.
NOTICE OF APPROVAL
If Intrepid Shareholders have a right to require Intrepid to purchase their
shares for cash under the dissenters' rights provision of the CGCL, Intrepid
will mail to each such shareholder a notice of approval of the Merger (the
"Notice of Approval") within 10 days after the date of shareholder approval of
the Merger Proposal, stating the price determined by it to represent the "fair
market value" of the dissenting shares. The statement of price will constitute
an offer to purchase any dissenting shares at that price.
DEMAND FOR PURCHASE
Dissenters must submit to Intrepid at its principal executive offices, 1301
Harbor Bay Parkway, Alameda, California 94502, Attn: Secretary, a written demand
that Intrepid purchase for cash some or all of their shares within 30 days after
the mailing to shareholders by Intrepid of the Notice of Approval.
A Dissenter's demand for purchase must state the number of shares held of
record by such Intrepid Shareholder that he demands to be purchased and the
amount that he claims to be the "fair market value" of those shares. That
statement of fair market value will constitute an offer by the dissenting
shareholder to sell such shares at that price. Dissenters may not withdraw their
demand for payment without the consent of the Intrepid Board. The right of
Dissenters to demand payment terminates if the Merger is abandoned (although
Dissenters are entitled upon demand to reimbursement of expenses incurred in a
good faith assertion of their dissenters' rights), or if the shares are
transferred prior to submission for endorsement as dissenting shares.
No Intrepid Shareholder who has a right to demand payment of cash for such
shareholder's shares of Intrepid Capital Stock and who in fact makes such a
demand would have any right to attack the validity of the Merger or have the
Merger set aside or rescinded, except in an action to test whether the number of
shares required to approve the Merger have been legally voted in favor thereof.
Any Intrepid Shareholder who does not demand payment of cash for such
shareholder's shares and who institutes an action to attack the validity of
43
<PAGE> 55
the Merger or to have the Merger set aside or rescinded would not thereafter
have any right to demand payment of cash pursuant to the exercise of dissenters'
rights.
It is a condition of the Merger that no more than 5% of the votes
represented by the outstanding shares of Intrepid Capital Stock become
Dissenters. Because Dissenters have up to 30 days after the mailing to
shareholders by Intrepid of the Notice of Approval to submit their demand to
exercise their Dissenters' rights, it may not be possible to determine whether
such condition has been satisfied until the expiration of this 30 day period.
For this reason, PeopleSoft will have the right to delay the Closing during this
30 day period or until such condition has been satisfied.
SUBMISSION OF STOCK CERTIFICATE
Within 30 days after the mailing of the Notice of Approval, Dissenters must
submit to Intrepid certificates representing the dissenting shares demanded to
be purchased, such certificates to be stamped or endorsed with a statement that
the shares are dissenting shares or to be exchanged for certificates of
appropriate denomination so stamped or endorsed. The Notice of Approval would
specify the date by which the submission of certificates for endorsement had to
be made and a submission made after that date would not be effective for any
purpose.
PURCHASE OF DISSENTING SHARES
If a Dissenter and Intrepid agree that any of such Dissenter's shares of
Intrepid Capital Stock are dissenting shares and agree upon the price of the
shares, Intrepid, upon surrender of certificates representing such shares, will
make payment of that amount (plus interest thereon at the legal rate on
judgments from the date of such agreement) within 30 days after the date of such
agreement. Any agreement between a Dissenter and Intrepid fixing the "fair
market value" of any dissenting shares must be filed with the Secretary of
Intrepid.
If Intrepid denies that such Dissenter's shares of Intrepid Capital Stock
are dissenting shares, or Intrepid and a Dissenter fail to agree upon the "fair
market value" of the shares, the Dissenter may, within six months after the date
on which notice of approval of the Merger was mailed to the shareholder, but not
thereafter, file a complaint (or intervene in a pending action, if any) in the
Superior Court for Alameda County, State of California, requesting that the
Superior Court determine whether the shares are dissenting shares and if so, the
"fair market value" per share of the dissenting shares. The cost of the action
will be assessed or apportioned as the Superior Court considers equitable, but
if the "fair market value" is determined to exceed the price offered to the
shareholder by Intrepid, then Intrepid will be required to pay such costs
(including, in the discretion of the Superior Court, attorneys' fees, fees of
expert witnesses and interest at the legal rate on judgments, if such "fair
market value" is determined to exceed 125% of the price offered by Intrepid). A
Dissenter must bring this action within six months after the date on which
notice of approval of the Merger Proposal was mailed to the Dissenter whether or
not Intrepid responds within such time to the Dissenter's written demand that
Intrepid purchase for cash shares voted against the Merger Proposal.
INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE MERGER
Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Non-Hire Agreements. Each of the Key
Employees and Other Management Employees has entered into a Noncompete Agreement
with PeopleSoft. The effectiveness of these Noncompete Agreements is contingent
upon the closing of the Merger. The Noncompete Agreements contain
non-competition, non-solicitation and non-hire provisions applicable for a term
of two years in the case of the Key Employees, and one year in the case of the
Other Management Employees. If a Key Employee's or Other Management Employee's
employment is terminated by reason of such employee's voluntary resignation for
reasons other than clause (1) in the following sentence or if such employee is
terminated for cause (as defined in the Noncompete Agreement), then such
employee shall continue to be bound by the terms of the Noncompete Agreement for
the remainder of its term. If a Key Employee or an Other Management Employee (1)
terminates his employment with PeopleSoft following the Merger but before the
expiration of such employee's Noncompete Agreement in connection with (i) a
reduction of or non-payment of such
44
<PAGE> 56
employee's total compensation, except for across the board reductions affecting
all senior executives of PeopleSoft, or a significant reduction in employee
benefits, (ii) a significant diminution in such employee's position,
responsibilities or duties, or (iii) such employee's relocation to a facility
located more than 50 miles from PeopleSoft's Pleasanton facility, or in the case
of James Kelly, more than 50 miles from Cincinnati, Ohio, or (2) the failure of
such employee to receive an offer of employment from PeopleSoft that provides
for an amount of aggregate annual cash compensation that is substantially the
same as the amount such employee received from Intrepid for the year ended
December 31, 1997 (for any Other Management Employee) or would have received
from Intrepid for the year ended December 31, 1998 (for any Key Employee), then
(a) PeopleSoft must provide certain severance payments as provided in the
Noncompete Agreement, (b) in the case of an Other Management Employee, his
options to acquire PeopleSoft Common Stock will accelerate, and (c) such
employee will continue to be bound by the non-competition, non-solicitation and
non-hire provisions of the agreement only if PeopleSoft elects to continue to
make payments to such employee equal to his base salary, net of all applicable
withholding and similar taxes, and receive his medical benefits for the
remaining term of such agreement. PeopleSoft shall have the right, however, to
discontinue such payments after 90 days' written notice (for any Key Employee)
or 30 days' written notice (for any Other Management Employee) by PeopleSoft
that PeopleSoft is releasing such employee from the non-competition, non-
solicitation and non-hire provisions of the Noncompete Agreement. In addition,
if such terminated employee accepts other employment, the amounts payable to
such terminated employee will be reduced by the amount such employee receives
from his new employment and if such a terminated employee's new employer
provides substantially similar medical benefits to such terminated employee,
PeopleSoft will no longer be obligated to provide medical benefits. PeopleSoft
has also agreed that, upon any termination due to disability, such non-
competition, non-solicitation and non-hire provisions will only continue to
apply if PeopleSoft continues to make certain severance payments provided in the
Noncompete Agreement and, in the case of an Other Management Employee, his
options to acquire PeopleSoft Common Stock are accelerated. The options to
acquire PeopleSoft Common Stock held by such Other Management Employees will be
assumed by PeopleSoft in connection with the Merger Agreement. See "TERMS OF THE
MERGER -- Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Non-Hire Agreements."
Certain Intrepid Directors. Intrepid Director Margaret Taylor is an officer
of PeopleSoft. Intrepid Director George Still is also a Director of PeopleSoft.
Neither of them participated in the Intrepid Board vote relating to the Merger.
PeopleSoft Stock Ownership. As of July 8, 1998 PeopleSoft owned 618,746
shares of Intrepid Common Stock, 96,924 shares of Series B Intrepid Preferred
Stock, and 15,577 shares of Series C Intrepid Preferred Stock.
Consulting Fees. Intrepid Director Howard Matthews will receive consulting
fees of up to $80,000 as payment for his financial advisory and other services
in conjunction with the Merger only if the Merger is consummated.

PEOPLESOFT
This section and other parts of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement contain
forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. PeopleSoft's
actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the
forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include,
but are not limited to, those discussed below, and separately in "RISK FACTORS"
and "PEOPLESOFT MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS."
GENERAL
PeopleSoft designs, develops, markets and supports a family of enterprise
client/server application software products for use throughout large and medium
sized organizations, including corporations worldwide, and higher education
institutions, and federal, state, provincial and local government agencies
primarily in North America. PeopleSoft designed its products specifically for
the client/server model of computing and believes that its architecture is among
the most flexible available for enterprise level applications software.
PeopleSoft's strategy is to offer comprehensive enterprise application software
solutions to a variety of industries that desire back office administrative
applications integrated with core operational applications. PeopleSoft's
software products utilize the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems on
the desktop as well as Java based web clients, and a wide variety of popular
RDBMS, operating system and hardware platform choices on the server, making its
software solutions among the most flexible, scalable and portable in the
application software industry. Application software products have been developed
using PeopleTools, PeopleSoft's integrated rapid application development toolset
which is delivered to customers along with the application products to
facilitate end user modification and customization.
PeopleSoft was incorporated in Delaware in August 1987 and initially
shipped its first product suite, a Human Resource Management System ("HRMS") in
December 1988. In 1992, PeopleSoft introduced the first of a series of Financial
Management and Accounting System software products, and in 1994 introduced the
first of a series of Distribution and Materials Management products, rounding
out a complete family of cross industry software products. Since that time,
PeopleSoft has introduced several industry specific software product suites,
including a suite of Manufacturing products for discrete manufacturers, a suite
of Public Sector Financial Management products, a suite of Student
Administration products for the higher education market, and a suite of HRMS
products for the U.S. Federal Government marketplace, and has introduced
additional Human Resource and Financial Management software products. In
addition, in October 1996, PeopleSoft acquired Red Pepper Software Company ("Red
Pepper"), a leader in the emerging supply chain management systems market.
PeopleSoft's strategy is to offer comprehensive enterprise application software
solutions to a variety of industries with best of breed products utilized in a
wide variety of cross-industry solutions.
SOFTWARE PRODUCT ARCHITECTURE
PeopleSoft's software products are based on a scalable, multi-tiered,
client/server architecture. PeopleSoft believes that its architecture provides
the system performance required for intensive record keeping and high volume
OLTP business applications, and facilitates faster, easier and less expensive
implementations of the initial system as well as subsequent upgrades. In
addition to the advantage of a pure client/server architecture, the PeopleSoft
solution offers a number of other important features. PeopleSoft applications
are designed for ease of use, are integrated with the Microsoft Windows family
of products and are compatible with personal productivity applications such as
word processors and spreadsheets. PeopleSoft applications also operate over the
web using a Java client. PeopleSoft software products are designed specifically
for use with RDBMSs, which offer power and functionality superior to flat files,
hierarchical, or other the non-relational databases that are generally used with
legacy software applications. PeopleSoft's software products are also scaleable,
permitting changes in network size, server platforms and other architectural
components with minimal disruption. Further, PeopleSoft software products are
portable across major RDBMS software and server hardware platforms. PeopleSoft
believes that the intuitive design of its software products reduce end-user
training requirements and allow end-users and decision makers increased access
to critical data not always readily available to them with legacy systems.
47
<PAGE> 59
CLIENT/SERVER ARCHITECTURE
With the general availability of Release 7, PeopleSoft's application
software products support online transaction management in any of three
different modes. In two-tier transaction processing, the presentation logic and
interactive application logic are performed on a Windows client, while data
intensive application logic and data management functions are carried out on the
database server. In three-tier transaction processing, the presentation logic
and selected interactive application logic operate on a Windows client, while
the balance of interactive application logic and data intensive application
logic operates on an application server and data management functions are
carried out on a database server. In "three-tier for the Web" transaction
processing, the presentation logic operates on a Java based client in a browser
("Web client"), while interactive application logic and data intensive
application logic operates on an application server. With the availability of
Release 7 and three-tier transaction processing, PeopleSoft's application
software products now take advantage of messaging using remote procedure calls
which facilitate real-time initiation of certain application logic routines on
an application server or database server machine. Customers implement Release 7
application software products using a single or any combination of the above
processing options in a single local area or a wide area network environment.
PEOPLETOOLS
Today's users are demanding system solutions that address specific business
needs, facilitate the automation of workflow, are quickly adaptable to changing
information requirements and provide for ease of access to information.
PeopleSoft addresses this need by providing PeopleTools, a set of integrated
development and reporting tools including: (i) Development tools for use by
business process or system analysts to rapidly design and deploy custom
modifications; (ii) Administration tools for use by systems managers and support
staff to improve the efficiency of implementing, operating and upgrading
PeopleSoft's applications; (iii) Reporting and Analysis tools for use by
application users to easily access, summarize and analyze information; and (iv)
PeopleSoft Workflow for use by business process or system analysts and
application users to automate business processes in a paperless environment.
PeopleTools continues to be used by PeopleSoft to develop most of its
application software products, and is a runtime environment. Powerful features
and functions which PeopleTools supports include effective date capabilities,
extensive security at both a user and object level, and a tree editor for
managing hierarchical relationships among data elements. PeopleTools is used to
build and modify data tables, design and customize user interface windows,
modify user pull-down menus, define security privileges of individual users and
operator access to system objects, define and build workflow based processes,
process online transactions, and facilitate data importation from other systems
into PeopleSoft applications. PeopleTools simplifies system customization and
implementation and can help reduce the time and cost of implementing the system.
Upgrades to new releases are simplified with a tool which provides an automated
comparison of the customer's customized systems to base level systems, and helps
define how to install new releases. In addition, PeopleTools provides customers
with significant ongoing flexibility to modify their systems quickly and
inexpensively, so that internal maintenance costs can be reduced significantly.
RELATIONAL DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
By utilizing relational databases and designing the system from the ground
up, PeopleSoft has been able to develop integrated software products with fully
normalized data structures. A fully integrated system provides convenient access
to shared data such as department tables, tax rates and organization charts,
without requiring users to maintain this information redundantly. Collecting and
capturing information once ensures that all data is consistent, readily
available and easier to maintain. Through adherence to ANSI Structured Query
Language ("SQL"), the industry standard data manipulation language for RDBMSs,
and other relational database standards, PeopleSoft's software products are
available in a range of environments. PeopleSoft's software products can be
licensed for use with the following RDBMSs: IBM's DB2 (MVS/ESA using DDCS
connectivity products from IBM, and separately on AIX and OS/400), Informix
Corporation's ("Informix") INFORMIX-OnLine Dynamic Server (NT and multiple
versions of Unix), Microsoft Corporation's ("Microsoft") SQL Server, Oracle
Corporation's ("Oracle") Oracle 8 (NT and over 10
48
<PAGE> 60
versions of Unix), and Sybase, Inc.'s ("Sybase") System 11 (on multiple versions
of Unix). If the customer decides to switch to other PeopleSoft supported RDBMS
or hardware platforms, user disruption is usually minimized because only the
"back-end" database changes, while the "front-end" application remains the same.
No assurance can be given concerning the successful development of PeopleSoft
software products on additional platforms, the specific timing of the releases
of any future software products, the performance characteristics of PeopleSoft
applications on additional platforms or their acceptance in the marketplace.
Not all software products or release versions of PeopleSoft's software
products are currently available on all of the above platforms. Presently,
releases or new software products are initially introduced on Oracle with a
subsequent release supporting other RDBMS versions. As a result of the
complexities inherent in the DB2 environment and the performance demanded by
customers in the DB2 environment, the DB2 version requires more lengthy
development and testing periods to achieve market acceptance. In addition, there
may be future or existing RDBMS platforms which achieve popularity within the
enterprise application marketplace and which PeopleSoft may desire to offer its
applications thereon. Such future or existing RDBMS products may or may not be
architecturally compatible with PeopleSoft's software product design. No
assurance can be given concerning the successful porting to new platforms, the
specific timing of completion of any such ports or their acceptance in the
marketplace.
GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE
All PeopleSoft software products share a common graphical user interface
("GUI") based on Microsoft's Windows family of products, which provides a
consistent "look and feel" to PeopleSoft's applications, including similar
pull-down menus, error handling, system navigation and point-and-click mouse-
driven functionality. PeopleSoft Release 7 operates either in a 32-bit
architecture on Windows 95 and NT or on browsers certified to run PeopleSoft's
Web client. The intuitive nature of GUI-based systems increases productivity and
reduces user training requirements. The GUI's ease of use encourages
non-technical users to utilize the information system capabilities more fully.
In addition, the GUI allows users to integrate enterprise applications and data
with other Microsoft Windows-based desktop applications. For example, customers
can easily query the system and download data into either a word processing
document or a spreadsheet. By leveraging the public's widespread familiarity
with personal computers ("PC"), previously difficult access to enterprise
information is readily available to the casual employee user, resulting in
potentially significant improvements in employee productivity. Web clients, in
particular, will enable widespread casual usage throughout organizations to
update information, initiate transactions, or obtain information. PeopleSoft has
introduced certain application functionality specifically designed for access
via its Java based Web client by the casual user.
APPLICATION SECURITY ARCHITECTURE
PeopleSoft's application software products incorporate extensive security
features designed to protect certain sensitive data managed by these
applications from unauthorized retrieval or modification. PeopleSoft has
developed a security architecture utilizing the capabilities of its own
applications, the client operating system software, some of the security
features contained in the RDBMS platforms on which the applications run, as well
as certain third party security products. To date, PeopleSoft is not aware of
any violations of its application security architecture within its installed
base.
ELECTRONIC COMMERCE
PeopleSoft's Web client runs applications over the World Wide Web, the
Internet, extranets and intranets. Electronic Data Interchange ("EDI") is
supported by the EDI Manager feature to handle transactions based on EDI
documents utilizing standard X-12 and EDIFACT formats. The transactions can be
passed over the Internet or private extranets. The Message Agent application
programming interface allows initiation of PeopleSoft transactions from sources
such as electronic forms, electronic mail, touch screen information kiosks and
Web browsers.

date have been in the U.S. and Canada, and a significant portion of
international sales have been to overseas affiliates of a customer's U.S. based
enterprise. To augment its direct sales channel, PeopleSoft has or had: (i) a
teaming agreement with Andersen Consulting to address the PeopleSoft HRMS and
PeopleSoft Financials requirements of state and local government agencies; (ii)
entered into a systems integration agreement with Shared Medical Systems
Corporation ("SMS"); and (iii) utilized third party distributors and system
integrators in various countries where it does not have a direct sales force.
Further details concerning the Andersen Consulting agreement and the SMS
agreement are set forth below.
In support of its sales force, PeopleSoft conducts comprehensive marketing
programs which include telemarketing, direct mail, public relations,
advertising, seminars, trade shows and ongoing customer communication programs.
The sales cycle begins with the generation of a sales lead, or often the receipt
of a request for proposal ("RFP") from a prospect, which is followed by
qualification of the lead, an analysis of the
58
<PAGE> 70
customer's needs, response to an RFP (if solicited by the customer), one or more
presentations to the customer, customer internal sign-off activities, and
contract negotiation and finalization. While the sales cycle from customer to
customer varies substantially, the sales cycle has historically required six to
twelve months.
Generally, customers obtain separate licenses for the underlying database
management systems directly from the RDBMS vendors, however, PeopleSoft may also
sublicense runtime versions of Oracle's, Sybase's or Informix's RDBMSs and
certain connectivity software products to its customers, and in some cases, has
made royalty prepayments under these agreements. In addition, PeopleSoft
incorporates SQRIBE Technology Corporation's ("SQRIBE") SQR, ReportMate,
Seagate's Crystal Report Writer, BEA's Tuxedo and Jolt Middleware, Cognos'
Powerplay, Select Software's data modeling and process modeling tools, and
Rational's SQA Robot with all of its software products. PeopleSoft has
sublicensing arrangements with Microsoft, Oracle, Informix, SQRIBE, Seagate,
BEA, Cognos, Select Software, Folio Corporation and Rational and accordingly,
PeopleSoft must rely on the strength of such companies' trademarks, trade
secrets, contractual arrangements, copyrights and patents for protection and
continued usage of such intellectual property by PeopleSoft. Termination of the
relationship with any of these companies could adversely effect PeopleSoft's
software product offerings and ability to generate revenue software application
license sales.
A key aspect of PeopleSoft's sales and marketing strategy is to build and
maintain strong working relationships with businesses PeopleSoft believes play
an important role in the successful marketing of its software products.
PeopleSoft's customers and potential customers often rely on third party system
integrators to develop, deploy and manage client/server applications. These
include: (i) RDBMS software vendors (such as Informix, Microsoft, Oracle and
Sybase); (ii) hardware vendors (such as Digital Equipment Corporation, Compaq
Computer Corporation, Hewlett Packard Corporation, IBM, Sequent Computer
Systems, Inc. and Sun Microsystems, Inc.) which offer both hardware platforms
and, in the case of IBM, proprietary RDBMS products on which PeopleSoft's
software products run; (iii) technology consulting firms and systems integrators
(such as Andersen Consulting, IBM's ISSC, Deloitte & Touche LLP, Coopers and
Lybrand LLP, KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, and Price Waterhouse LLP) some of which are
active in the selection and implementation of large information systems for the
information-intensive organizations that comprise PeopleSoft's principal
customer base; and (iv) benefits consulting firms (such as Towers Perrin, Wyatt
Co. and William M. Mercer & Co.) that are active in the implementation of human
resource management systems. PeopleSoft believes that its marketing and sales
efforts are enhanced by the worldwide presence of these companies. PeopleSoft
has conducted several joint marketing and sales programs with these vendors and
other technology and software partners, including seminars, direct mail
campaigns and trade show appearances. However, there can be no assurance that
these companies, most of which have significantly greater financial and
marketing resources than PeopleSoft, will not start, or in some cases increase,
the marketing of business application software in competition with PeopleSoft,
or will not otherwise discontinue their relationships with or support of
PeopleSoft. If PeopleSoft or its partners are unable to adequately train a
sufficient number of consulting personnel to support the implementation of
PeopleSoft's software products, demand for these products could be adversely
affected. In addition, PeopleSoft's software application architecture, including
PeopleTools, may facilitate reduced implementation costs for customers compared
to the competitive alternatives from Oracle and SAP. Therefore, systems
integrators may actually generate lower integration fees when implementing
PeopleSoft applications when compared to competitive offerings.
Due to the foregoing factors, it is possible that in a future quarter or
quarters, PeopleSoft's operating results could not meet the published
expectations of certain public market financial analysts. In such an event, the
price of PeopleSoft' Common Stock would very likely be materially adversely
affected.
RELATIONSHIP WITH ANDERSEN CONSULTING
Under an exclusive five year teaming agreement executed in October 1993,
PeopleSoft and Andersen Consulting are developing extensions to PeopleSoft's
software products and jointly marketing and delivering financial and human
resource client/server enterprise software solutions to state and local
government and public sector organizations in North America. Under the terms of
the agreement, PeopleSoft licenses its software application products directly to
the customer, refers consulting services exceeding certain amounts to Andersen
Consulting, and will pay Andersen Consulting a royalty based on the amount of
the license fee.
59
<PAGE> 71
PeopleSoft's 1996 and 1997 contracting activity included approximately $32.7
million and $111.9 million respectively in contracts which were subject to this
agreement.
In June 1997, PeopleSoft and Andersen Consulting announced a new strategic
alliance to develop an integrated financial management system designed
specifically to address the unique needs of the U.S. Federal Government. Under
the terms of the agreement, Andersen Consulting will contribute certain
resources to the joint development effort, both parties will team together on
certain sales opportunities, PeopleSoft will license its software application
products directly to the customer, and PeopleSoft will pay Andersen Consulting a
royalty based on the amount of the license fee. As of December 31, 1997, the
software product was under development and there were no license agreements
which would be subject to this agreement. Subsequent to completing the
development of the initial version of this software product suite, PeopleSoft
will be required to obtain General Services Administration ("GSA") certification
that the software products meet certain minimal functional requirements in order
to market these products to agencies of the U.S. Federal Government. No
assurance can be given that this software product development effort will be
successfully completed or such certification will be obtained.
RELATIONSHIP WITH SMS
In August 1995, PeopleSoft and SMS entered into a systems integrator
agreement whereby PeopleSoft appointed SMS as a distributor of certain
PeopleSoft HRMS and Financials software products. The term of the agreement is
ten years, with the possibility of annual renewals thereafter. SMS has the right
to market/sublicense such software products in the United States and Puerto Rico
to a defined base of SMS existing end users, and in conjunction with the
distribution of SMS' software products, to other entities in the health care
industry. Except in certain situations, SMS has exclusive distribution rights to
SMS's end users. SMS also obtained the right to use certain software products of
PeopleSoft HRMS and Financials software products and PeopleTools for general
development in support of SMS's internal operations. Pursuant to the terms of
the agreement, PeopleSoft has provided termination notice to SMS on March 19,
1998. SMS contested the notice of termination and pursuant to the agreement, the
parties tendered the dispute to an arbitration panel. As of July 8, 1998, there
had been no resolution of the termination dispute and the arbitration proceeding
is still pending.
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
During the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 and the three
months ended March 31, 1998, PeopleSoft's international revenues were
approximately 16%, 16%, 15% and 15% of total revenues, respectively.
International revenues from each geographic region were less than 10% of total
revenues. PeopleSoft operates in one industry segment, the development and
marketing of computer software products and related services, and markets
certain of its software products to a variety of industries through foreign
subsidiaries located in Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany,
France, Spain, Belgium, South Africa, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Australia,
Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan and New Zealand. In addition, PeopleSoft also
markets through distributors in the Asia/Pacific region. The international
revenue percentages above understate the relative size of PeopleSoft's
international installed base because U.S. based companies frequently acquire the
rights to utilize PeopleSoft's software products in locations outside of the
United States, although PeopleSoft does not generally report any portion of the
revenues associated with these agreements as international revenues.
SERVICES AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT
PeopleSoft believes that a high level of customer service is required to be
successful in the client/server marketplace due to the number of different
hardware and software vendors involved in an implementation and the inherent
complexity of the architecture. PeopleSoft also believes that the opportunity
exists to differentiate itself from competitors on a service level due to the
demanding service requirements of this market. PeopleSoft's customer service
staff consisted of 2,456 employees as of March 31, 1998.
60
<PAGE> 72
Service revenue consists primarily of software support (maintenance) fees,
customer training fees, consulting fees, and other miscellaneous fees. Services
revenues constituted 41%, 44%, 47%, and 51% of PeopleSoft's total revenues
during the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 and the three months
ended March 31, 1998, respectively. Service revenue may fluctuate due to, but
not limited to, changes in levels of consulting activity, the related
satisfaction of significant agreement milestones, and satisfaction of
PeopleSoft's revenue recognition criteria. In addition, seasonality impacts
training and installation revenue, both of which tend to follow license fees by
approximately one quarter.
PeopleSoft's service and support for each customer is coordinated by at
least one account manager. The account manager is responsible for working with
the customer in areas such as implementation and upgrade project planning and
management, and providing information and advice on PeopleSoft software
products, services and partnerships. Additionally, the account manager
coordinates ongoing training, consulting and support services. Such services
include the following categories:
SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT
PeopleSoft provides 24-hour hot-line telephone support, staffed with a
group of experienced professionals and supported by a computerized call tracking
and problem reporting system. PeopleSoft has provided internet access to this
hotline as an alternative to telephone bound service since August of 1995.
PeopleSoft supports worldwide operations with hubs in North America, Europe and
the Asia/Pacific region. This service provides subscribing customers with
company news, direct access to other PeopleSoft subscribing customers, the
ability to download and apply software product fixes and access to an online
troubleshooting database.
Initial software product license fees include the first year of maintenance
support. Thereafter, ongoing maintenance contracts are offered to customers, and
are renewable on an annual basis. The maintenance agreement entitles the
customer to software product enhancements or upgrades released during the term
of the maintenance agreement, an assigned account manager, and 24-hour hot-line
telephone support. Annual maintenance fees are generally based on 17% of the
then current list price of the software products under license by a customer. To
date, well over 90% of all customers have renewed their maintenance contracts.
CUSTOMER EDUCATION AND TRAINING
PeopleSoft offers comprehensive education for key groups affected by the
implementation of PeopleSoft technology (executives, the project team and
application users) with the goal of ensuring each customer's success with
PeopleSoft's software products. Training is also available for third party
consultants. PeopleSoft's educational programs include instructor-led classes,
computer-based training, and extensive end user training that also serves as an
electronic performance support system.
Instructor-led training is provided in training facilities leased by
PeopleSoft in several major metropolitan areas around the world and can also be
delivered on the customer's site for a fee plus travel expenses. PeopleSoft's
fees for instructor-led, project team training are generally priced at $450 per
training unit (representing one student day of training). PeopleSoft offers
price reductions for volume advanced purchases of training units. PeopleSoft's
pricing for end user training varies based on the number of employees at the
customer company and the number of training modules purchased.
CONSULTING SERVICES
PeopleSoft offers a variety of consulting services to its customers
including system product implementation assistance and planning, project
planning and strategy, upgrade implementation, electronic commerce, workflow or
OLAP deployment, and minor software product enhancements. PeopleSoft has several
technology labs which currently concentrate on upgrading customers from one
PeopleSoft release to the next. Additionally, PeopleSoft has a Year 2000 lab
which specializes in rapid customer implementations and the development of
tools, templates and methodologies to assist our customers and partners in
similar efforts. PeopleSoft frequently works closely with third party consulting
and systems integration firms such as Andersen Consulting, Deloitte & Touche
LLP, KPMG Peat Marwick LLP and Price Waterhouse LLP who provide the customer
with a full range of reengineering, customization and project management
services.
61
<PAGE> 73
These third party consulting firms have also licensed PeopleSoft applications to
develop programs to support customers implementing PeopleSoft's software
products. During the past year PeopleSoft significantly expanded its consulting
services group to meet growing customer demands for such services. There can be
no assurance that PeopleSoft will be successful in further expanding its
consulting services group, or that revenues from consulting services will in
fact increase, or be profitable.
COMPETITION
The market for business application software is intensely competitive.
PeopleSoft faces competition from a variety of vendors who provide products in
one or more of the following areas: enterprise application software, financial
management and accounting application software, HRMS application software,
supply chain management application software, manufacturing application
software, higher education application software, other industry specific
software, and application development software tools. In addition to existing
competitors, other software vendors may broaden their product offerings by
internally developing, or by acquiring or partnering with independent developers
of, products that compete with PeopleSoft's products; and most of the customers
in PeopleSoft's market could internally develop their own solutions using third
party consultants or their own corporate information technology departments.
Although PeopleSoft believes its success has been due in part to its early
emphasis on the client/server architecture, virtually all of PeopleSoft's
competitors now offer software products based on a client/server architecture.
Consequently, competitive differentiators now include more subtle architectural
and technological factors, such as Web enablement, enterprise product breadth
and individual software product features, service reputation, software product
flexibility, ease of implementation, international software product version
availability and support, and price.
In the enterprise application software market, PeopleSoft faces significant
competition from SAP, Oracle and Baan and to a lesser degree, Dun & Bradstreet
Software (now operating as two separate divisions of Geac Computer Systems,
Inc.), Computer Associates International, Inc. and other companies such as
System Software Associates who previously focused primarily on the AS/400
marketplace. In this market, the chief competitive factors include the breadth
and completeness of the enterprise solution offered by each vendor, the extent
of product integration across the enterprise solution and the availability of
localized software products and technical support in key markets outside the
United States. Primarily due to their significant worldwide presence and longer
operating and product development history, both SAP and Oracle have certain
competitive advantages over PeopleSoft in each of these areas. In addition, both
SAP and Oracle have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing
resources, and a larger installed base than PeopleSoft. Furthermore, Oracle's
RDBMS is a supported platform underlying a significant share of PeopleSoft's
installed applications, and Oracle has in the past demonstrated significant
account control over many of these RDBMS customers.
PeopleSoft also faces competition from providers of HRMS software products,
including Cyborg, Lawson, Integral Systems, Inc., InPower and Ceridian, and from
providers of financial management systems software products, including Hyperion,
Computron Software, Inc., Lawson Associates and other smaller companies. In
addition, ADP, Inc. and Shared Medical Systems, Inc. ("SMS") have the right to
sublicense certain PeopleSoft software products in competition with PeopleSoft's
marketing efforts in selected markets.
As PeopleSoft increases its offerings of industry specific applications,
PeopleSoft expects to encounter additional competitors who have traditionally
focused only on specific vertical markets. In addition to the specific markets
mentioned below, PeopleSoft expects to compete with vendors offering application
software products specifically in the Higher Education market, Healthcare
market, Financial Services market, Utilities market and possibly others.
In the manufacturing software application markets, in which PeopleSoft
recently began competing, PeopleSoft faces competition from several of its
existing competitors including those listed immediately above and others such as
QAD, Ross Systems and J.D. Edwards, and a large number of niche competitors
already in the manufacturing markets.
In the emerging supply chain planning and optimization software solutions
market, in which PeopleSoft now competes since its acquisition of Red Pepper
Software Company in 1996, PeopleSoft faces several current
62
<PAGE> 74
and potential competitors including: (i) companies such as i2 Technologies,
Manugistics, and Numetrix Software which have developed or are attempting to
develop advanced planning and scheduling software products which complement or
compete with MRP solutions; (ii) other companies that provide specialized
planning and scheduling software for niche markets, including Chesapeake
Systems, Waterloo Manufacturing Software, MAPICS, Inc. (formerly Marcam
Corporation), Marcam Solutions, Inc. and Cap Logistics; and (iii) other
enterprise application software vendors such as SAP and Baan.
In addition, as the Year 2000 approaches, enterprises may consider
outsourcing options including data center outsourcing and service bureaus as
viable alternatives to purchasing PeopleSoft's software products which may
result in increased competition from outsource services including Computer
Science Corporation, Electronic Data Systems Corporation, IBM, ADP, Ceridian,
and other smaller companies.
Intense competition could potentially lead to increased price competition
in the market, forcing PeopleSoft to reduce prices which may result in reduced
gross margins and loss of market share by PeopleSoft which therefore, could
materially adversely affect PeopleSoft's business, operating results and
financial condition. In recent quarters, PeopleSoft has observed increasingly
aggressive pricing practices on the part of its major competitors, in particular
SAP and Oracle. There can be no assurance that PeopleSoft will continue to
compete successfully with its existing competitors or will be able to compete
successfully with new competitors.
SOFTWARE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Since inception, PeopleSoft has made substantial investments in research
and software product development. Through the end of 1994, substantially all of
PeopleSoft's software products have been developed by its internal development
staff. Beginning in 1995, PeopleSoft increased the purchasing and licensing of
third party software products. PeopleSoft believes that timely development of
new software products, enhancements to existing software products and the
acquisition of rights to sell or incorporate complimentary technologies and
products into its software product offerings, is essential to maintain its
competitive position in the market. The applications software market is
characterized by rapid technological change, frequent introductions of new
products, changes in customer demands and rapidly evolving industry standards.
For example, in order to gain broad market acceptance, PeopleSoft maintains
product availability across a number of RDBMS platforms. PeopleSoft believes
that software product development is most effectively and expeditiously
accomplished by small teams comprised of relatively senior people who are
focused on certain software product areas. Accordingly, PeopleSoft's development
organization is comprised of small, focused development groups assigned to each
of the software products within the primary software product areas: PeopleSoft
HRMS, PeopleSoft Financials, PeopleSoft Financials for the Public Sector,
PeopleSoft Human Resources for the Federal Government, PeopleSoft Distribution,
PeopleSoft Manufacturing, Supply Chain Planning, PeopleSoft Student
Administration and PeopleTools. This development is typically undertaken in a
single RDBMS environment on a workstation-based LAN. In addition, PeopleSoft
utilizes a platforms group which is responsible for porting and testing
PeopleSoft's software products on other RDBMS and hardware server environments.
PeopleSoft's documentation group develops the user and system administration
documentation for each software product. PeopleSoft utilizes a common technology
and technical approach in the development of all application products.
Significant application development is performed using PeopleTools.
PeopleSoft's current focus in application development is to expand the
functionality and breadth of PeopleSoft's software product offerings by (i)
enhancing workflow capabilities; (ii) developing new software products and
adding new functionality to existing software products including global product
requirements and translated releases of global products, and industry specific
functionality; (iii) supporting joint development arrangements under which
certain vertical market applications may be developed; and (iv) adding certain
architectural extensions. PeopleTools development activities have emphasized the
continued evolution of a distributed processing architecture, graphical user
interface and navigation enhancements, increased OLAP and electronic commerce
capabilities, and functionality and utilities to support the application
development activities in PeopleTools. There can be no assurance that such
development efforts will result in its products, features or functionality or
that software products, features or functionality that are developed will be
accepted by the market.
63
<PAGE> 75
Building on the functionality and technology in previous releases,
PeopleSoft 7.5, which was release during the second quarter of 1998, delivers a
global, comprehensive, and proven enterprise solution that meets the changing
business requirements of organizations worldwide, across multiple industries.
Performance Measurement is currently in beta release. No assurance can be given
concerning the successful development of enhancements or new modules, the
specific timing of completing new releases or new features of software products
or the level of their acceptance in the marketplace.
PeopleSoft's product development staff consisted of 1,004 employees as of
March 31, 1998. PeopleSoft's total product development expenses were
approximately $38.6 million, $70.7 million, $129.6 million and $42.9 million for
the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 and the three months ended
March 31, 1998, respectively. In addition, PeopleSoft capitalized software
development costs of $2.4 million, $3.7 million, $2.5 million and $.7 million
for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 and the three months ended
March 31, 1998, respectively. Capitalized software development costs are
amortized over the estimated useful life of the software product beginning with
general availability for a period not to exceed five years. Total capitalized
software development amortization, which is charged to cost of license fees,
amounted to $1.7 million in 1995, $1.6 million in 1996 and $4.0 million in 1997
and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. In addition, in
November 1996, PeopleSoft recorded a one time charge of $22.5 million for
in-process research and development related to the purchase of PeopleSoft
Manufacturing, Inc. ("PMI").
PeopleSoft entered into development arrangements in 1995 and 1997 for the
purpose of developing the Student Administration software applications which
were commercially released in December 1997. Under these agreements, PeopleSoft
is the exclusive remarketer of the Student Administration software products, and
pays a royalty to the third parties based on license fees received from end user
licenses of these software products. All ownership rights and interests in the
software will transfer to PeopleSoft, upon the later of five years from the
commercial release of the applications or when $17 million in cumulative
royalties have been paid to the third parties.
In January 1997, PeopleSoft entered into a development and marketing
agreement with Intrepid. Under the arrangement, Intrepid ported its merchandise
management system software product suite for retail management ("Evolution") to
PeopleTools and integrated these applications with PeopleSoft's general ledger
and accounts payable software products. The companies jointly marketed a retail
enterprise solution including PeopleSoft HRMS and Financial software
applications and Intrepid's Evolution and decision support software product
suites. Concurrent with the execution of the agreement, PeopleSoft separately
acquired a minority equity interest in Intrepid.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, PROPRIETARY RIGHTS, LICENSES AND PRODUCT LIABILITY
PeopleSoft regards certain aspects of its internal operations, software and
documentation as proprietary, and relies on a combination of contract, patent,
copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and other measures to protect its
proprietary information. PeopleSoft received its first patent in June 1995 and
its second patent in August 1995. In July 1996, PeopleSoft received title to a
third patent as part of a teaming and development agreement. In May and June of
1998, PeopleSoft received title to its fourth and fifth patents emanating from
the Red Pepper Software technology. PeopleSoft also has two additional patent
applications pending. There can be no assurance that any issued patents will
result from such applications or that, if issued, such patents will provide any
meaningful competitive advantage. Existing copyright laws afford only limited
protection. PeopleSoft believes that, because of the rapid pace of technological
change in the computer software industry, patent, trade secret and copyright
protection are less significant than factors such as the knowledge, ability and
experience of PeopleSoft's employees, frequent software product enhancements and
the timeliness and quality of support services. There can be no assurance that
these protections will be adequate or that PeopleSoft's competitors will not
independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior
to PeopleSoft's technology. Many customers of PeopleSoft are beneficiaries of a
source code escrow account arrangement to enable the customer to acquire a
future limited right to use PeopleSoft's source code solely for their internal
provision of maintenance services. This possible access to PeopleSoft's source
code may increase the likelihood of misappropriation or other misuse of
PeopleSoft's intellectual property. In addition, the laws
64
<PAGE> 76
of certain countries in which PeopleSoft's software products are or may be
licensed do not protect PeopleSoft's software products and intellectual property
rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.
PeopleSoft does not believe its software products, third party software
products that PeopleSoft offers under sublicense agreements, PeopleSoft
trademarks or other PeopleSoft proprietary rights infringe the property rights
of third parties. However, there can be no assurance that third parties will not
assert infringement claims against PeopleSoft in the future with respect to
current or future software products or that any such assertion may not require
PeopleSoft to enter into royalty arrangements or result in costly litigation.
PeopleSoft's license agreements with its customers contain provisions
designed to limit the exposure to potential product liability claims. It is
possible, however, that the limitation of liability provisions contained in such
license agreements may not be valid as a result of future federal, state or
local laws or ordinances or unfavorable judicial decisions. Although PeopleSoft
has not experienced any product liability claims to date, the license and
support of its software for use in mission critical applications creates the
risk of a claim being successfully pursued against PeopleSoft. Damage or
injunctive relief resulting under such a successful claim could cause a
materially adverse impact on PeopleSoft's business, operating results and
financial condition. In addition, as PeopleSoft begins to compete in the
manufacturing software application market, the mission critical nature of such
software products may increase PeopleSoft's exposure to product liability claims
against PeopleSoft.
EMPLOYEES
As of March 31, 1998, PeopleSoft employed 5,122 people, including 1,206 in
sales and marketing, 1,004 in product development, 2,456 in customer services,
and 456 in administration. None of PeopleSoft's employees in the United States
are represented by a labor union or are subject to a collective bargaining
agreement. Certain of the international employees are covered by the customary
employment contracts and agreements of the countries in which they are employed.
PeopleSoft believes that relations with its employees are good.
PROPERTIES
As of March 31, 1998, PeopleSoft leased the majority of its facilities and
its principal locations under lease are in or near the following cities:

PeopleSoft also leases smaller facilities (generally under execusuite
arrangements) for sales, marketing and customer service activities in or near
Phoenix, Arizona; Sacramento, California; Denver, Colorado; Orlando, Florida;
Indianapolis, Indiana; St. Louis, Missouri; Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio;

Belgium. In 1998, PeopleSoft anticipates expanding existing facilities,
depending upon the availability of suitable additional space. Commercial
building vacancy rates have significantly dropped in many of the markets where
PeopleSoft has significant operations. As a consequence, PeopleSoft expects to
experience increasing difficulty in obtaining additional space within which to
expand its operations. Failure to either obtain space, or obtain it on
reasonably attractive commercial terms, may inhibit PeopleSoft's ability to
grow, or otherwise adversely effect PeopleSoft's operations and financial
results.
PeopleSoft acquired an office building in Pleasanton, California in a cash
transaction in December 1995. The total cost was approximately $25 million,
including all related transaction costs, for approximately 275,000 square feet
of office space. As of December 31, 1997, approximately 180,000 square feet or
approximately 65.5% was occupied by PeopleSoft and 95,000 square feet was
occupied by existing tenants.
In December 1996, PeopleSoft entered into a five-year lease for a new
office facility with 380,000 square feet of office space in Pleasanton,
California. The lessor has committed to fund up to a maximum of $70 million for
construction of the facility. This lease is structured as an operating lease,
however, the accounting treatment will ultimately be determined upon inception
of the lease term when PeopleSoft occupies the facility. Construction on the
facility is anticipated to be completed in the third quarter of 1998 and
payments under this lease will be based on LIBOR rates applied to amounts funded
and will begin at that time. PeopleSoft has an option to renew the lease for an
additional three years, subject to certain conditions. If at the end of the
lease term PeopleSoft does not purchase the property, PeopleSoft would guarantee
a residual value to the lessor equal to a specified percentage of the lessor's
cost of the facility. Under this lease, PeopleSoft is required to maintain
compliance with certain financial covenants.
In early 1998, PeopleSoft negotiated an amendment to this lease which
extends the term of the lease until February 2003, with an option to renew for
an additional three years. Additionally, PeopleSoft negotiated a fixed rate
funding option under which PeopleSoft may elect that any or all of the amounts
funded to date be charged a fixed interest rate. PeopleSoft has the option of
setting the fixed rate expiration date for any date through the end of the lease
term.
As of June 3, 1998, PeopleSoft has an option to buy land in Dublin,
California. PeopleSoft's intent is to build office space on the land to
accommodate PeopleSoft's anticipated growth.

REVENUES
PeopleSoft generally recognizes revenue when a non-cancelable license
agreement has been signed, the software product has been shipped, there are no
uncertainties surrounding product acceptance, there are no significant vendor
obligations, the fees are fixed and determinable, and collection is considered
probable. For customer license agreements which meet PeopleSoft's revenue
recognition policy, the portion allocated to software license fees will
generally be recognized in the current period, while the portion allocated to
services is recognized as the services are performed. When PeopleSoft enters
into a license agreement with a customer requiring significant customization of
the software products, PeopleSoft recognizes revenue related to the license
agreement using contract accounting. A new software revenue recognition
standard, SOP 97-2 went into effect in 1998. This new standard requires that
software arrangements be separated into distinct elements, and that each element
is separately reviewed against revenue recognition criteria. PeopleSoft believes
it is fully in compliance with the new standard. However, detailed
implementation guidance for this new standard have not yet been issued by the
professional accounting standard setting bodies. Such implementation guidance,
once issued, may cause PeopleSoft to change its accounting practices or its
business practices. There is no guarantee that such changes will not have a
material impact on PeopleSoft's revenues and earnings.

<PAGE> 80
COMPARISON OF YEARS 1995, 1996 AND 1997
The total dollar amount of customer license agreements executed
("contracting activity") for software license fees and services increased from
$218.6 million in 1995, to $407.6 million in 1996, and to $706.4 in 1997.
Contracting activity with new customers which numbered 628 comprised
approximately 68% of the total contracting activity executed for the year ended
December 31, 1997, compared with 539 new customers and 75% for the year ended
December 31, 1996, and 316 new customers and 70% for the year ended December 31,
1995. Average contract size, computed by dividing the number of new customers
into total contracting activity, increased from approximately $0.7 million in
1995, to $0.8 million in 1996, and to $1.1 million in 1997 due primarily to
PeopleSoft's expanded software product offerings.
Revenues from licensing fees increased by 83% from $137.8 million in 1995
to $252.8 million in 1996 and increased by 71% to $433.2 million in 1997. The
increase in license fee revenues was attributable to continued increased market
acceptance of, and expanded breadth of, PeopleSoft's software product offerings
and the increased capacity created by continued growth in PeopleSoft's sales,
marketing and customer service organizations. Major new product releases in 1997
included a multi-language version of PeopleSoft 6 released in July; including
financials, HRMS, and supply chain solutions; PeopleSoft 7 in September offering
a three tier processing architecture, Web client, Universal Applications for
self service transactions on the World Wide Web, Application Designer, a new
integrated development tool, two new applications for distribution and
manufacturing, and expanded functionality for the Supply Chain Optimization
software product; HRMS for U.S. Federal Government 7 in November; HRMS for
Public Sector 7 in December; and Student Administration/Higher Education 7 in
December.
Revenues from services increased by 109% from $94.3 million in 1995 to
$197.3 million in 1996 and increased by 94% to $382.5 million in 1997.
PeopleSoft's customer license agreements provide for initial maintenance,
training, and installation services for specified periods or amounts. Therefore
increases in customer licensing agreements have resulted in increases in
revenues from these services. Service revenues as a percentage of total revenues
were 41%, 44%, and 47% for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997
respectively. The increase in the relative percentage of service revenues to
total revenues in these periods was attributable to two primary factors:
increases in the installed base of customers receiving ongoing maintenance,
training and other support services; and a significant increase in consulting
revenue as a result of expanded demand for PeopleSoft's direct assistance during
enterprise implementation projects.
Total revenues increased by 94% from $232.1 million in 1995 to $450.1
million in 1996 and increased by 81% to $815.7 million in 1997. During the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997, PeopleSoft's international revenues
were approximately 16%, 16% and 15% of total revenues, respectively. The dollar
increase in international revenues resulted from expanded international
operations and the introduction of Release 6 which incorporated additional
global features and functionality. PeopleSoft expects international revenues to
continue to grow in absolute dollars during 1998, and accordingly, continues to
invest heavily in international infrastructure, global product functionality and
translated versions of financial and other software products.(1) In the event
international expansion and/or product globalization efforts are not successful,
PeopleSoft's business operating results and financial condition may be adversely
affected.
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1998
The total dollar amount of customer license agreements executed
("contracting activity") for software license fees and services increased from
$145.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1997 to $218.0 million for the
same period in 1998. Contracting activity with new customers which numbered 188
comprised approximately 66% of the total contracting activity executed for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998, compared with 132 new customers and 65% for the
same period in the prior year. Average contract size, computed by dividing the
number of new customers into total contracting activity, increased to
approximately $1.2 million in the first quarter of 1998, reflecting the ongoing
emphasis PeopleSoft is placing on achieving more selective and larger,
enterprise oriented transactions.

<PAGE> 81
Revenues from licensing fees increased by 64% from $83.4 million in the
three month period ended March 31, 1997 to $136.9 million for the same period in
1998. The increase in license fee revenues was attributable to continued
increased market acceptance of, and expanded breadth of, PeopleSoft's software
product offerings and the increased capacity created by continued growth in
PeopleSoft's sales, marketing and customer service organizations.
Revenues from services increased by 100% from $70.2 million in the three
month period ended March 31, 1997 to $140.7 million for the same period in 1998.
PeopleSoft's customer license agreements provide for initial maintenance,
training, and installation services for specified periods or amounts. Therefore
increases in customer licensing agreements have resulted in increases in
revenues from these services. Service revenues as a percentage of total revenues
were 46% and 51% for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
The increase in the relative percentage of service revenues to total revenues in
these periods was attributable to two primary factors: increases in the
installed base of customers receiving ongoing maintenance, training and other
support services; and a significant increase in consulting revenue as a result
of expanded demand for PeopleSoft's direct assistance during enterprise
implementation projects. In response to strong industry demand, PeopleSoft
continues to rapidly expand its service delivery capacity, particularly for
consulting services.
Total revenues increased from $153.7 million in the three month period
ended March 31, 1997 to $277.7 million for the same period in 1998. Total
revenue growth period over period of 81% which exceeded PeopleSoft's forecasted
growth of 75%, and on a sequential basis, increased approximately 7% over the
total revenues recorded in the fourth quarter of 1997. The higher than
forecasted growth rate over the prior year was due primarily to service
revenues. During the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, PeopleSoft's
international revenues were approximately 17% and 15% of total revenues,
respectively. Revenues from international operations increased 56% from $26.4
million in the three month period ended March 31, 1997 to $41.2 million in the
same quarter in 1998. The dollar increase in international revenues resulted
from expanded international operations and the introduction of Release 6 which
incorporated additional global features and functionality. PeopleSoft expects
international revenues to continue to grow in absolute dollars during 1998, and
accordingly, continues to invest heavily in international infrastructure, global
product functionality and translated versions of financial and other
products.(1) In particular, the upcoming Release 7.5 product is expected to
provide stronger international functionality for European businesses, including
both new country specific functionality and support for the European monetary
unit. In the event international expansion and/or product globalization are not
successful, PeopleSoft's business operating results and financial condition may
be adversely affected.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
COMPARISON OF YEARS 1995, 1996, AND 1997
Cost of license fees consists principally of royalties, technology access
fees for certain third party software products and amortization of capitalized
software costs. Cost of license fees increased from $8.5 million in 1995 to
$12.4 million in 1996, and $21.6 million in 1997, representing 4%, 3% and 3% of
total revenues and 6%, 5% and 5% of license fee revenues in those years,
respectively. PeopleSoft's system solutions are based on a combination of
internally developed technology and application products, as well as bundled
third party products and technology. Cost of license fees as a percentage of
license fee revenues may fluctuate from period to period due principally to the
mix of sales of royalty-bearing software products in each period and seasonal
fluctuations in revenues contrasted with certain fixed expenses such as the
amortization of capitalized software. Royalties associated with certain software
products currently under development by joint business arrangements and charges
associated with software products and technologies acquired from various third
party vendors may cause the cost of license fees as a percentage of license fee
revenues to increase in future periods.

<PAGE> 82
Cost of services consists principally of account management field support,
training, consulting and product support. These costs increased from $56.8
million in 1995, to $118.9 million in 1996, and $229.2 million in 1997,
representing 24%, 26%, and 28% of total revenues and 60% of service revenues in
those years, respectively. These increases are due to the significant expansion
of PeopleSoft's customer service resources across all categories, including
consulting, telephone support, training, and account management staff. In
particular, PeopleSoft has made a significant investment in its professional
consulting services organization which has grown substantially over the past two
years in response to customer demand. PeopleSoft anticipates cost of services
will increase in dollar amount, and may increase as a percentage of total
revenues, in future periods.
Sales and marketing expenses increased from $70.1 million in 1995, to
$135.8 million in 1996, and $225.5 million in 1997, representing 30%, 30%, and
28% of total revenues. The increase in sales and marketing expenses is
attributable to PeopleSoft's continued expansion of its direct sales force,
increased commission expense associated with higher revenue, increased
depreciation from related equipment and facility expenditures, continued
investment in building an international direct sales force and increased
marketing expenses for PeopleSoft's expanded software product offerings.
PeopleSoft continues to increase its direct sales and marketing expenditures to
address certain international markets, establish an industry focused enterprise
sales force structure and fund both cross industry and industry specific
marketing and sales activities. Consequently, such expenses may increase as a
percentage of total revenues in future periods.
Software product development expenses increased from $38.6 million in 1995,
to $70.7 million in 1996, and to $129.6 million in 1997, representing 17%, 16%,
and 16% of total revenues, respectively. In addition, capitalization of internal
software development costs were $2.4 million in 1995, $3.7 million in 1996, and
$2.5 million in 1997. Software product development expenditure increases are
directly attributable to increases in PeopleSoft's staff of software engineers
and consultants, and the associated infrastructure costs required to support
software product development initiatives in the following areas: (i) software
releases described in the revenue section above; (ii) expansion and enhancement
of PeopleSoft's core software product offerings in the areas of HRMS, Financial
Management Systems, and Distribution/Materials Management Systems and Supply
Chain Management software; (iii) the enhancement of PeopleSoft's platform
development, certification, software product testing and overall release
management capabilities; (iv) the continued enhancement of PeopleSoft's
client/server architecture including its software development tools and the
integration of these tools with various third party purchased or licensed
technologies; (v) the localization and translation of certain versions of
PeopleSoft's software products for specific foreign markets; and (vi) the
development of certain vertical market products and versions of its core
products suitable to the unique needs of customers within certain industries. In
particular, PeopleSoft's development expenditure increases during 1997 were
driven by: (i) the acquisition in 1996 of PeopleSoft Manufacturing, Inc. and
PeopleMan L.P. (collectively referred to as PMI) and the ongoing associated
expansion of PeopleSoft's manufacturing application development activities; (ii)
the release in the second quarter of 1997 of a Japanese language based version
of its HRMS and Financial software products; (iii) the release of Student
Administration software products for the Higher Education marketplace in
December 1997, and the associated merger in July of 1997 of Campus Solutions,
the company primarily responsible for building the Student Administration
product family; and (iv) expenditures associated with PeopleSoft 7.5 which was
released during the second quarter of 1998. PeopleSoft intends to continue to
invest significant resources in upcoming releases, and anticipates software
product development expenditures will significantly increase in future periods
due to continued incremental investment in all of the above areas, and overall
development expenditures may increase as a percentage of revenues.(1)
General and administrative expenses increased from $16.2 million in 1995 to
$27.2 million in 1996, and to $43.6 million in 1997, representing 7%, 6%, and 5%
of total revenues, respectively. The dollar increase in general and
administrative expenses resulted primarily from increases in staffing and
related infrastructure to support PeopleSoft's growth, and increases in
administrative expenses associated with the operation of foreign subsidiaries.

71
<PAGE> 83
Other income, consisting primarily of interest, increased from $4.1 million
in 1995 to $5.9 million in 1996, and $9.9 million in 1997 primarily due to a
higher balance of cash, cash equivalents and investments.
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1998
Cost of license fees increased 152% from $4.4 million in the three month
period ended March 31, 1997 to $11.2 million for the same period in 1998,
representing 3% and 4% of total revenues and 5% and 8% of license fee revenues
in each quarter, respectively. Royalty costs in the first quarter of 1998
included a one time $2.5 million buy out of royalty fees related to the upcoming
Release 7.5 product. PeopleSoft's system solutions are based on a combination of
internally developed technology and application products, as well as bundled
third party software products and technology. Cost of license fees as a
percentage of license fee revenues may fluctuate from period to period due
principally to the mix of sales of royalty-bearing software products in each
period and seasonal fluctuations in revenues contrasted with certain fixed
expenses such as the amortization of capitalized software. Royalties associated
with certain software products currently under development by joint business
arrangements and charges associated with software products and technologies
acquired from various third party vendors may cause the cost of license fees as
a percentage of license fee revenues to increase in future periods.
Cost of services consists principally of account management field support,
training, consulting and product support. These costs increased 99% from $43.6
million in the three month period ended March 31, 1997 to $86.7 million for the
same period in 1998, representing 28% and 31% of total revenues in each quarter,
respectively, and 62% of service revenues in those quarters. Cost of services
increased as a percent of total revenues due to a mix shift toward relatively
more service revenues, and due to certain non-recurring expenses including those
associated with PeopleSoft's annual meeting of its consulting organization.
These increases are due to significant expansion of PeopleSoft's customer
service resources across all categories, including consulting, telephone
support, training and account management staff. In particular, PeopleSoft has
made a significant investment in its professional consulting services
organization which has grown substantially over the past two years in response
to customer demand. PeopleSoft anticipates cost of services will increase in
dollar amount, and may increase as a percentage of total revenues, in future
periods.
Sales and marketing expenses increased by 64% from $44.4 million in the
three month period ended March 31, 1997 to $72.7 million for the same period in
1998, representing 29% and 26% of total revenues in each period, respectively.
The increase in sales and marketing expenses is attributable to PeopleSoft's
continued expansion of its direct sales force, increased commission expense
associated with higher revenue, increased depreciation from related equipment
and facility expenditures, continued investment in building an international
direct sales force and increased marketing expenses for PeopleSoft's expanded
software product offerings. PeopleSoft continues to increase its direct sales
and marketing expenditures to address certain international markets, establish
an industry focused enterprise sales force structure and fund both cross
industry and industry specific marketing and sales activities. Consequently,
such expenses may increase as a percentage of total revenues in future periods.
Software product development expenses increased by 70% from $25.3 million
in the three month period ended March 31, 1997 to $42.9 million for the same
period in 1998, representing 16% of total revenues in each quarter. Software
product development expenditure increases are directly attributable to increases
in PeopleSoft's staff of software engineers and consultants, and the associated
infrastructure costs required to support software product development
initiatives in the following areas: (i) expansion and enhancement of
PeopleSoft's core software product offerings in the areas of HRMS, Financial
Management Systems, and Distribution/Materials Management Systems and Supply
Chain Management software; (ii) the enhancement of PeopleSoft's platform
development, certification, software product testing and overall release
management capabilities; (iii) the continued enhancement of PeopleSoft's
client/server architecture including its software development tools and the
integration of these tools with various third party purchased or licensed
technologies; (iv) the localization and translation of certain versions of
PeopleSoft's software products for specific foreign markets; and (v) the
development of certain vertical market products and versions of its core
products suitable to the unique needs of customers within certain industries. In
particular, PeopleSoft's development expenditure increases during the first
quarter of 1998 were driven by expenditures associated
72
<PAGE> 84
with the release of PeopleSoft 7.5. PeopleSoft intends to continue to invest
significant resources in upcoming releases, and anticipates software product
development expenditures will significantly increase in future periods due to
continued incremental investment in all of the above areas, and overall
development expenditures may increase as a percentage of revenues.(1)
General and administrative expenses increased 52% from $8.7 million in the
three month period ended March 31, 1997 to $13.2 million for the same period in
1998, representing 6% and 5% of total revenues in each quarter, respectively.
The dollar increase in general and administrative expenses resulted primarily
from increases in staffing and related infrastructure to support PeopleSoft's
growth, and increases in administrative expenses associated with the operation
of foreign subsidiaries.
Operating margins for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 increased
to 18.4% compared to 17.7% for the same period last year and 23.4% for the
fourth quarter of 1997, respectively. The 1998 first quarter operating margin
percentage was higher than forecasted in PeopleSoft's business outlook for the
fourth quarter of 1997 due to lower expense growth, primarily from lower than
planned hiring, and higher revenue growth as discussed above.
Other income, consisting primarily of interest, increased from $2.0 million
in the three month period ended March 31, 1997 to $3.5 million for the same
period in 1998, primarily due to a higher balance of cash, cash equivalents and
investments. In January 1998, PeopleSoft initiated a foreign currency
transactions hedging program. The net of hedging transactions offset by foreign
currency transactions was not significant for the quarter.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
COMPARISON OF YEARS 1995, 1996, AND 1997
PeopleSoft's income tax provision increased from $18.8 million in 1995 to
$25.9 million in 1996 and to $67.8 million in 1997. The 1997 effective tax rate
decreased to 38.5% as compared to 41.9% in 1996 and 40.8% in 1995. The 1997
effective tax rate is lower than the 1996 rate mainly due to: the extension of
the federal research tax credit as well as recent favorable changes in
California's research tax credit rules; a reduction in PeopleSoft's overall
state income tax rate; and the absence of major one time nondeductible charges.
As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes", PeopleSoft has recorded $32.7 million in net deferred tax
assets at December 31, 1997. The realization of these deferred tax assets is
based on historical tax positions and expectations about future taxable income.
PeopleSoft anticipates that its 1998 effective tax rate will not exceed 38.5%.
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1998
PeopleSoft's income tax provision increased from $11.4 million in the three
month period ended March 31, 1997 to $20.7 million for the same period in 1998.
The provision for income taxes was 38% of income before taxes for the three
months ended March 31, 1998, which represents a .5% decline from the 1997 annual
effective income tax rate of 38.5%. The effective tax rate is based on
management's current estimates and forecasts of PeopleSoft's taxable income in
multiple domestic and foreign taxing jurisdictions. The estimated annual
effective tax rate is relatively sensitive to the results of operations in
various jurisdictions, and because such projections may change in future
periods, the actual effective tax rate could differ from this estimate. As
permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes", PeopleSoft has recorded $33.9 million in net deferred tax
assets at March 31, 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
COMPARISON OF YEARS 1995, 1996, AND 1997
PeopleSoft's operating activities provided cash of $230.1 million during
1997, compared to $130.9 million in 1996, and $67.0 million in 1995. Operating
cash flows increased primarily due to increases in income before non-cash items,
deferred revenue, accrued compensation and related expenses, the tax benefit of
employee stock transactions, and income taxes payable, the sum of which were
partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and other assets. Net
accounts receivable increased from $100.2 million to $163.7 million and to
$299.2 million as of December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively, and
deferred revenues increased from $98.1 million to $183.3 million and to $327.7
million over the same period. The increase in net accounts receivable resulted
from the growth in customer licensing activity partially offset by increased
cash collections. Deferred revenue has increased as a result of the growth in
customer contracting activity and the associated deferrals of license fees and
revenues related to services to be provided to new licensees. In addition,
PeopleSoft's expanded installed base has resulted in increased deferred revenues
related to ongoing maintenance and other services.
PeopleSoft calculates accounts receivable days sales outstanding ("DSO") as
the ratio of quarter-end accounts receivable to the sum of quarterly revenues
and the net change in quarter-end deferred revenues, multiplied by 90.
PeopleSoft believes this calculation is appropriate because license fees are
typically billable regardless of whether revenue has been recognized or
deferred. Under this method, accounts receivable days outstanding was 83 days as
of December 31, 1996 as compared to 88 days as of December 31, 1997. The
increase in DSO over the prior year is within the range of historical variation
attributable to the timing of cash collections, variations in the terms of
individual license agreements, and business linearity within the quarters. Since
billing terms of PeopleSoft's agreements typically are spread out over a
sequence of events (including contract execution through standard acceptance) or
dates that generally span four to nine months, and contracting activity is
concentrated at the end of each quarter, PeopleSoft anticipates that its DSO
will continue to be substantial in future periods.
The exercise of common stock options and issuance of stock under employee
stock purchase plans have represented a significant source of cash, contributing
$5.1 million, $15.1 million, and $33.3 million in the years ending December 31,
1995, 1996, and 1997, respectively. In addition, PeopleSoft believes granting
stock options is essential in attracting and retaining key employees who are
critical to PeopleSoft's success. In 1995, 1996 and 1997, PeopleSoft granted
options aggregating 6.1%, 5.4% and 5.0%, respectively, of the common stock
issued and outstanding at the beginning of each year. PeopleSoft anticipates
that it will continue to grant a significant number of options each year. The
actual number of options granted each year is based on a variety of factors
including PeopleSoft's historical and anticipated employee count, the level of
hiring activity, competitive factors associated with the labor market, and
comparison of PeopleSoft's compensation philosophy and practice to other similar
technology companies. There can be no assurance that employee stock activity
will continue to generate substantial funds in the future.
In November 1995, PeopleSoft received $21.8 million through the private
placement of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,000,000 shares of
PeopleSoft's common stock. These warrants carry the right to purchase
PeopleSoft's common stock at prices ranging from $13.75 to $19.375 per share of
common stock. Upon notice of exercise by the holders of the warrants,
PeopleSoft, at its option, may settle such exercise by either issuing the full
amount of shares and receiving cash proceeds, issuing a net amount of shares
with no cash proceeds, or purchasing the warrants for an amount equal to the
difference between the then fair market value of the common stock and the
warrant exercise price. In November 1997, PeopleSoft issued 942,880 shares of
common stock pursuant to the net exercise of warrants to purchase 1,600,000
shares of common stock at $13.75 per share. While PeopleSoft has not determined
how the warrants will be satisfied in the future, they represent a significant
source of potential liquidity and may provide PeopleSoft with cash up to $48
million in 1998 and $58 million in 1999.(1)

<PAGE> 86
During the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, PeopleSoft's principal
use of cash for investing activities included investments and the purchase of
property and equipment comprised of purchases of computer and networking
equipment to accommodate employee and facility expansions and to support
PeopleSoft's growing training capacity requirements.
As of December 31, 1997, PeopleSoft had $245.0 million in working capital,
including $267.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $124.6 million in
short-term investments, consisting primarily of high quality municipal bonds and
tax-advantaged money market funds. PeopleSoft believes that existing cash and
short term investment balances, proceeds from sale of stock under the employee
purchase plan and stock option exercises, potential proceeds from issuance of
stock for warrants, and potential cash flow from operations will be sufficient
to meet its operating cash requirements at least through 1998.
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1998
PeopleSoft's operating activities provided cash of $40.8 million during the
three month period ended March 30, 1998, compared to $40.4 million in the same
period in 1997. In both periods, cash provided by operating activities was due
principally to earnings which were partially offset by increases in other assets
and receivables, tax benefits related to employee stock transactions, and
continued increases in non-cash expenses. In the first quarter of 1998, cash
from operations was also provided by increases in accounts payable and other
accrued liabilities. From December 31, 1997 to March 31, 1998, net accounts
receivable increased from $299.2 million to $335.7 million, respectively, and
deferred revenues increased from $327.7 million to $359.1 million over the same
period. The increase in net accounts receivable resulted from the growth in
customer licensing activity offset by cash collections. Deferred revenue has
increased as a result of the growth in customer licensing activity and the
associated deferrals of revenues related to services to be provided to new
licensees. In addition, PeopleSoft's expanded installed base has resulted in
increased deferred revenues related to ongoing maintenance and other services.
Increases in payables and other assets were due to general growth in
PeopleSoft's operations.
DSO was 84 days as of March 31, 1997 and 98 days as of March 31, 1998. The
increase in the first quarter of 1998 was due primarily to: (i) slower
collections of receivables in PeopleSoft's Asia/Pacific region; (ii) a relative
decrease in contract execution payments received within the quarter; and, (iii)
certain organizational and administrative process issues, which PeopleSoft
believes can be addressed within a relatively short time frame. Since billing
terms of PeopleSoft's agreements typically are spread out over a sequence of
events (including contract execution through standard acceptance) or dates that
generally span four to nine months, and contracting activity is concentrated at
the end of each quarter, PeopleSoft anticipates that its DSO will continue to be
substantial in future periods.
During the first three months of 1997 and 1998, PeopleSoft's principal use
of cash for investing activities included investments, additions to capitalized
software and the purchase of property and equipment, comprised of computer and
network equipment, to accommodate employee and facility expansions and to
support PeopleSoft's growing training capacity requirements.
Financing activity for the first quarter of 1997 and 1998 related to the
proceeds from the exercise of common stock options by employees and stock
issuances under the employee stock purchase program. PeopleSoft believes
granting stock options is essential in attracting and retaining key employees
who are critical to PeopleSoft's success. PeopleSoft anticipates that it will
continue to grant a significant number of options each year. The actual number
of options granted each year is based on a variety of factors including
PeopleSoft's historical and anticipated employee count, the level of hiring
activity, competitive factors associated with the labor market, and comparison
of PeopleSoft's compensation philosophy and practice to other similar technology
companies. There can be no assurance that employee stock activity will continue
to generate substantial funds in the future.
As of March 31, 1998, PeopleSoft had $282.4 million in working capital,
including $300.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $120.6 million in
short term investments, consisting primarily of high quality municipal bonds and
tax-advantaged money market funds. PeopleSoft believes that existing cash and
short term investment balances, proceeds from sales of stock under the employee
purchase plan and stock option
75
<PAGE> 87
exercises, potential proceeds from issuance of stock for warrants, and potential
cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet its operating cash
requirements, at least through March 1999.
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Foreign Exchange. PeopleSoft's revenue originating outside the United
States was 15% of total revenues in the first quarter ended March 31, 1998 and
fiscal 1997. International sales are made mostly from PeopleSoft's foreign sales
subsidiaries in the local countries and are typically denominated in the local
currency of each country. These subsidiaries also incur most of their expenses
in the local currency. Accordingly, all foreign subsidiaries use the local
currency as their functional currency.
PeopleSoft's international business is subject to risks typical of an
international business, including, but not limited to: differing economic
conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other
regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility. Accordingly,
PeopleSoft's future results could be materially adversely impacted by changes in
these or other factors.
PeopleSoft's exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations arise in part
from intercompany accounts in which cost of software, including certain
development costs, incurred in the United States is charged to PeopleSoft's
foreign sales subsidiaries. These intercompany accounts are typically
denominated in the functional currency of the foreign subsidiary in order to
centralize foreign exchange risk with the parent company in the United States.
PeopleSoft is also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the
financial results of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in
consolidation. As exchange rates vary, these results, when translated, may vary
from expectations and adversely impact overall expected profitability.
In the first quarter of 1998, PeopleSoft initiated a hedging program
designed to mitigate the potential for future adverse impact due to changes in
foreign exchange rates. The program uses forward foreign exchange contracts as
the vehicle for hedging these intercompany balances. In general, these forward
foreign exchange contracts have three months or less to maturity. Gains and
losses on these hedges will be recorded in Other income and offset against
losses and gains on the underlying exposures. Management of the foreign exchange
hedging program is done in accordance with a corporate policy approved by
PeopleSoft's Board of Directors.
At March 31, 1998, hedge positions totaled U.S. $11.6 million equivalent.
All hedge positions are carried at fair value and had maturity dates of three
months or less.
Interest Rates. PeopleSoft invests its cash in a variety of financial
instruments, including bank time deposits, and taxable and tax-advantaged
variable rate and fixed rate obligations of corporations, municipalities, and
local, state and national governmental entities and agencies. These investments
are denominated in US Dollars. Cash balances in foreign currencies overseas are
operating balances are and only invested in short term time deposits of the
local operating bank.
Interest income on PeopleSoft's investments is carried in Other Income.
PeopleSoft accounts for its investment instruments in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS 115"). All of the cash equivalent, short
term, and long term investments are treated as available-for-sale" under SFAS
115.
Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning
instruments carries a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may
have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates,
while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest
rates fall. Due in part to these factors, PeopleSoft's future investment income
may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or PeopleSoft
may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities which have seen a
decline in market value due to changes in interest rates.

<PAGE> 88
PeopleSoft's investments are made in accordance with an investment policy
approved by the Board of Directors. At March 31, 1998, the average maturity of
PeopleSoft's investment securities was roughly four months. No investment
securities had maturities exceeding two years. The following table presents
certain information about PeopleSoft's financial instruments held by PeopleSoft
at March 31, 1998 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. These
instruments are not leveraged and are held for purposes other than trading. For
available-for-sale investment securities, the table presents principal cash
flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates.
PeopleSoft believes its available-for-sale securities, comprised of highly
liquid debt securities of corporations, municipalities, and the U.S. Government,
are similar enough to aggregate. Because of PeopleSoft's effective tax rate,
PeopleSoft finds it advantageous to invest largely in tax-advantaged securities,
therefore the average interest rates below are most comparable to tax-exempt
interest rates. Below is a tabular presentation of the maturity profile of the
available-for-sale investment securities held by PeopleSoft at March 31, 1998:

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
The following forward-looking statements are based on current expectations
which are subject to material change due to a variety of factors including, but
not limited to, those listed below and in the section titled "RISK FACTORS."
These forward-looking statements and other forward-looking statements made
elsewhere in this document are made in reliance upon safe harbor provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements
include, but are not limited to, those items identified with a footnote 1. The
Company undertakes no obligation to update the information contained herein.
- Based on its current expectations of contracting activity, and an
analysis of PeopleSoft's service delivery capacity and the expected
customer utilization of such services, PeopleSoft expects total revenues
for the second quarter of 1998 to increase approximately 65% over total
revenues recorded in the same quarter of the prior year(1). For the 1998
calendar year, PeopleSoft expects total revenues to increase between 55%
and 65% over the total revenues recorded in the 1997 calendar year(1). As
with any forecast, actual results could vary within a few percentage
points on either side of these estimates even if there are no material
changes to the underlying assumptions, and longer term forecasts can be
expected to have relatively higher variability. The key assumptions on
which this forecast is based include, but are not limited to, the
following: (i)total actual available market opportunities must be
reasonably consistent with those forecasted by certain major information
technology market research firms; (ii) the preservation of PeopleSoft's
ability to generate a sufficient number of qualified leads through its
ongoing marketing programs; (iii) an increase in PeopleSoft's direct
sales capacity through the successful recruitment, hiring, training and
retention of additional sales and sales support personnel; (iv) no
significant adverse changes in the competitive landscape; and (v) the
continued demand for PeopleSoft's applications as an alternative to
modification of legacy systems where prospects have issues relating to
data processing in the Year 2000. In addition, the achievement of
expected contracting activity and total revenues is highly dependent upon
PeopleSoft's ability to
- ---------------
(1)Forward-looking statement.
77
<PAGE> 89
successfully manage the potential risks including, but not limited to, those in
the section titled "RISK FACTORS."
- PeopleSoft's operating model is based on a rolling four quarter target
operating margin of between 18% and 20%. PeopleSoft expects that the 1998
full year results will fall within this range and anticipates that the
second quarter operating margin, consistent with seasonal patterns, will
come in around the low end of this range.(1) Due to the significant
operating leverage which is characteristic of the software industry, any
deviation in the expected revenues could significantly impact
PeopleSoft's ability to meet the target operating margins. Achievement of
forecasted operating margins is highly dependent upon PeopleSoft's
ability to successfully manage the potential risks including, but not
limited to, those detailed in the section titled "Risk Factors."
- Based on projected cash and investment balances, constant interest rates
and no unusual items of other income or expense, PeopleSoft expects other
income on a quarterly basis to remain flat to slightly higher in absolute
dollars compared to the first quarter of 1998.(1) The achievement of
forecasted other income targets is dependent on: (i) stable financial
markets which preclude a significant overall decline in investment
yields, or a significant fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates,
and (ii) avoidance of default on any individual significant investment.
Should PeopleSoft decide to utilize a significant portion of its current
cash and investments to acquire complementary businesses, products,
technologies or to acquire additional facilities through purchase of land
and/or buildings, interest income may decline significantly causing other
income to deviate from forecasted amounts.
- Based on current tax law and PeopleSoft's present forecast of operating
results by country, the effective tax rate in 1998 is expected not to
exceed 38%.(1) The estimated annual effective tax rate is relatively
sensitive to the results of operations in various foreign legal entities,
and because such projections may change in future periods, the actual
effective tax rate could differ from this estimate.
Please read the section titled "RISK FACTORS" for additional information
and discussion of conditions which PeopleSoft believes could cause actual
results to differ materially from those contemplated by forward-looking
statements.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
PeopleSoft and a limited liability company ("LLC") entered into agreements
in 1995 and 1997, whereby the LLC will provide up to $9.6 million to fund the
development of a suite of student information and administration system
applications ("SIS Software") with PeopleSoft assuming exclusive responsibility
for the distribution of the SIS Software. Substantially all of the LLC's funds
were provided equally by PeopleSoft's founder and principal stockholder, and the
Student Loan Marketing Association ("Sallie Mae"), an independent strategic
business partner. PeopleSoft has no contractual obligation to provide funds to
the LLC and does not have a right to acquire any of the LLC's equity interests.
PeopleSoft will pay the LLC a royalty based on fees received from the licensing
of the SIS Software until the later of five years from the commercial release of
the SIS Software or $17 million in cumulative royalties have been paid to the
LLC. The royalty rate was determined based on negotiations between PeopleSoft
and Sallie Mae. All ownership rights and interests in the SIS Software will
transfer to PeopleSoft upon the later of five years from the commercial release
of the SIS Software or when $17 million in cumulative royalties have been paid
to the LLC. The SIS Software became generally available for sale in December
1997, and PeopleSoft recorded $3.3 million in royalty expense in the year ended
December 31, 1997. The LLC reimbursed PeopleSoft $2.0 million $2.4 million and
$3.2 million in 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively, for development funding
advanced by PeopleSoft during the year and, in 1998, PeopleSoft anticipates
using the remaining $2.0 million to fund the development of two new related
software products. In addition, PeopleSoft was reimbursed $98,000 in 1995 and
$65,700 in 1996 (none in 1997) for interest on such advances.

INTREPID
INTRODUCTION
Intrepid develops, markets, licenses, supports and services integrated
merchandise management, data warehouse and decision support software for medium
to large-sized retailers in most segments of the retail industry. Intrepid's
software products are designed to enable retailers to use information to quickly
make informed business decisions.
Intrepid markets its software primarily through its direct sales
organization, augmented by indirect sales channels including systems consulting
and integration firms. Intrepid's customers include: Venator, Montgomery Ward,
Liz Claiborne, Neiman Marcus, Ross Stores, WalMart, Blockbuster, Consolidated
Stores and Barnes & Noble.
INTREPID SOLUTION
The demonstrated power of integrated systems directed Intrepid to look
beyond merchandise management into the retail enterprise as a whole. To make
that vision a reality, Intrepid formed a strategic alliance with PeopleSoft, a
worldwide leader in enterprise applications software.
Together the companies have been working to deliver the first integrated
enterprise solution designed specifically for the retail industry. The
client/server architecture would integrate Intrepid's merchandising and decision
support solutions with PeopleSoft's supply chain, financial and human resources
applications. This seamless suite of applications is being built on a common
development platform -- PeopleTools -- providing information delivery and
automated workflow support throughout the enterprise. Sharing this common
technology platform will assure that all applications have a consistent look and
feel and at the same time, reduce training and implementation costs. This
business solution offers a reliable, low-risk, proven technology that renders
greater flexibility and responsiveness, better information access, and improved
productivity. To date, Intrepid has ported its merchandising management system,
Evolution, onto the PeopleTools platform. This was announced as generally
available in June, 1998.
SOFTWARE PRODUCTS
Intrepid's products evolved from a foundation of extensive retail
knowledge. Intrepid was established by retailers to serve retailers -- a company
well-equipped to deliver the essential elements of best of class retail
solutions. The key elements that differentiate Intrepid's solutions from the
products of its competitors include superior retail knowledge, a complete
enterprise package, an open architecture that provides flexibility and
scalability, and the industry's preeminent technology platform (PeopleTools).
EVOLUTION 4 is primarily a client/server merchandise management system that
features a suite of merchandising, store operations, sales and invoice matching
applications. The system provides retailers information delivery, automated
workflow, and accurate reporting across the retail enterprise. Evolution
supports Merchandising, Store Operations, Financial Management and Management
Reporting. The system's architecture is supported by PeopleSoft's PeopleTools
development environment, which includes development tools for rapid
customization, powerful reporting, analysis and productivity. Evolution 4
represents a migration of the Company's prior IBM AS/400 based merchandise
management product to the PeopleTools platform.
DECISIONMASTER is a suite of integrated decision support applications based
on Intrepid's retail data model or an existing data model, and a retail data
warehouse. DecisionMaster supports every major area of retailing including
merchandising, store operations, finance and marketing. The DecisionMaster
applications provide easy access to information for executives and business
users, supporting extensive reporting and on-line analysis in a graphical
environment. DecisionMaster is able to quickly identify exceptions: hot items,
slow sellers, and out of stocks.
The heart of DecisionMaster is the data warehouse, a repository of facts
and figures organized for efficient information retrieval. DecisionMaster has
been designed to work with data warehouses built using many of the leading
relational data bases. To access the information in the data warehouse,
DecisionMaster provides a
85
<PAGE> 97
series of application workbenches, each tailored to the needs of different
personnel within the retail organization. DecisionMaster's decision support
provides applications with flexible exception reporting and data surfing -- the
ability to easily sort, drill up and drill down through hierarchies of
information.
DecisionMaster provides an immediate return on investment (ROI) through its
hundreds of actionable reports, yet has also been designed to grow and change
over time. By employing relational OLAP technology, DecisionMaster provides the
flexibility to add new reports, enhance existing reports, and easily adapt to
changes in organization or product structure and data models.
Information alone is not enough. The ability to take information and turn
it into action is vital to success. The integration of Intrepid's operational
and decision support applications created the foundation for this new generation
of "closed loop" retail information systems called InformAction.
InformAction takes the knowledge obtained through DecisionMaster and
recommends and automatically creates new transactions in Evolution. InformAction
allows key actions to be taken directly by the user, whether its creating a
markdown, effecting a price change, or canceling/creating a purchase order.
Automating these important functions not only dramatically shortens response
time, but also frees staff from burdensome paperwork allowing them to focus on
other vital tasks.
Evolution 4 is the cornerstone of the Intrepid/PeopleSoft enterprise
solution. The combination of Intrepid's Merchandise Management and Decision
Support systems and PeopleSoft's supply chain, financial and human resource
management applications will constitute a comprehensive enterprise solution for
retailers.
SERVICES AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Intrepid believes that providing a high level of customer service and
technical support is necessary to achieve rapid product implementation, and
ultimately, customer satisfaction. Intrepid offers an education and training
program for its customers and its third party implementation providers. Classes
are offered at in-house facilities at Intrepid's headquarters and at customer
sites. These classes focus on retail management principles as well as the
implementation and use of Intrepid's Evolution and DecisionMaster products.
Intrepid offers its customers on-site consulting services aimed at assisting in
the implementation of its own software and integration with the customers'
existing systems. Intrepid receives hourly fees for these services. The services
are concentrated on making implementations cost-effective for customers by
enabling them to independently perform as many of the integration tasks as
possible. Intrepid also provides ongoing product support services to its
customers through a staff of product specialists. This group provides the
customer responsiveness required to back up the customer hotline which takes
prime responsibility for recording and tracking issues to results. In addition,
Intrepid works with its integration partners to provide implementation services
to its customers.
SALES, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
Intrepid markets its software and services primarily through its direct
sales organization, including business application software vendors and systems
consulting and integration firms. Intrepid's direct sales organization consists
of regionally based sales representatives and sales consultants. Intrepid has a
joint development and marketing relationship with PeopleSoft. Intrepid has also
built joint marketing alliances with MicroStrategy, Oracle, Informix, Sun,
Hewlett Packard, and IBM and works with Andersen Consulting, Deloitte & Touche
LLP, The Hunter Group and CFT Consultants for implementation.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
Intrepid Systems has expended significant resources on product development
efforts directed at increasing product functionality, improving product
performance and expanding the capabilities of the products to interoperate with
third party software. Intrepid relies on a combination of the protections
provided under applicable copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as
confidential procedures and licensing agreements to establish and protect its
rights in its software. Intrepid licenses its software products to customers
under license agreements which are generally standard in form, although each
license is individually negotiated and may contain variations. The standard form
agreement allows the customer to use
86
<PAGE> 98
Intrepid's products solely on the customer's computer equipment for the
customer's internal purposes, and the customer is generally prohibited from
sublicensing or transferring Intrepid products. The agreements generally provide
that Intrepid's warranty for its products is limited to correction or
replacement of the affected product, and in most cases Intrepid's warranty
liability may not exceed the licensing fees from the customer. The form
agreement also includes a confidentiality clause protecting proprietary
information.
EMPLOYEES
As of March 31,1998 Intrepid employed 220 persons, of which, 91 were
engaged in product development, 55 were in customer services and support, 36
were in sales and marketing, 11 were in product strategy and business
development and 27 were in administration and technical support. None of
Intrepid's employees is represented by a labor union with respect to his or her
employment with Intrepid. Intrepid has experienced no organized work stoppages
and believes it relationships with its employees is good.
FACILITIES
Intrepid's principal offices are located in approximately 70,000 square
feet of space in Alameda, California. This facility is under lease to Intrepid
through the end of 2002. In addition Intrepid occupies approximately 5,800
square feet of space in Cincinnati, Ohio, which is leased through June 2001.

INTREPID MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
OVERVIEW
Intrepid was founded in August 1991 to acquire, develop and market
enterprise software applications to midsized to large retailers. The primary
product was an AS/400 based merchandise management system. Intrepid acquired the
rights to market this system, named Evolution, in early 1992 and licensed this
product for the first time to a customer in the same year. Intrepid continued to
license this product with a series of enhancements from 1992 until the present.
In 1996 Intrepid also acquired the assets of Kelly Information Systems, Inc.,
including decision Support software product. This was renamed DecisionMaster and
has been licensed by Intrepid to customers both as a standalone product and in
conjunction with Evolution. Intrepid has not achieved significant operating
profits for any period since it's inception.
Intrepid's revenues are derived primarily from license fees and charges for
services, including maintenance, development, consulting and training. License
fee revenues consist of revenues for Intrepid's software products and
documentation. Such revenues have been recognized in all periods in accordance
with the current revenue recognition requirements defined by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A new software revenue recognition
standard, SOP 97-2, went into effect in 1998. This new standard requires that
software arrangements be separated into distinct elements, and that each element
is separately reviewed against revenue recognition criteria. License fee
revenues are generally recognized when a non-cancellable license agreement has
been signed, the software product has been shipped, there are no significant
vendor obligations, the fees are fixed and determinable and collection is
considered probable. If any obligations or contingencies do exist, revenue
recognition is deferred until all such obligations or contingencies have been
satisfied. Service revenues are recognized on delivery of service in the case of
development, consulting and training or ratably over the period covered by
maintenance agreements in the case of maintenance (typically twelve months).
Until April 1996 Intrepid's license fee revenue was derived from its
Evolution product. Since then significant revenues have also been derived from
licenses of DecisionMaster. In February 1998 Intrepid deployed Evolution in a
client/server, multiple platform environment based on PeopleSoft's PeopleTools
development environment. To date there have been no significant revenues derived
from this client server product.
Intrepid markets its products through a direct sales force. In January 1997
Intrepid also announced a joint development and marketing agreement with
PeopleSoft. During 1997 and 1998 Intrepid's sales force has also marketed to
prospects in conjunction with PeopleSoft's direct sales force in conformance
with the terms of that agreement.
Although Intrepid has experienced significant growth in revenues during the
past three years Intrepid does not believe these prior growth rates are
sustainable or indicative of future operating results. Intrepid's limited
operating history makes prediction of future results difficult or impossible.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Years Ended December 31, 1995, 1996, 1997

licenses of Intrepid's software products and related services. Intrepid's
revenues increased from $4,070,000 in 1995 to $8,239,000 in 1996, an increase of
102%, and to $24,629,000 in 1997, an increase of 199%. Four customers, Casual

89
<PAGE> 101
other customers accounted for more than 10% of Intrepid's total revenues in the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997.
License Fee Revenues: License fee revenues are comprised of fees for
licenses of Intrepid's software products. License fee revenues increased from
$1,305,000 in 1995 to $4,441,000 in 1996, an increase of 240%, resulting from an
increase in the number of customers licensing Intrepid's Evolution merchandising
system, and to the acquisition of the DecisionMaster decision support product
during 1996, licensing of which contributed $971,000 in fees during the year.
License fee revenues increased to $16,420,000 in 1997, an increase of 270%,
resulting primarily from an increase in the number of customers licensing the
DecisionMaster product, and to an increase in the average license fee per
customer for both the Evolution and DecisionMaster products as several major
retailers signed license agreements during the year.
Service revenues: Service revenues are primarily comprised of fees from
maintenance, consulting, development and training services. Service revenues
totaled $2,765,000 in 1995, primarily resulting from customer funded development
activities and implementation services. Service revenues increased to $3,798,000
in 1996, an increase of 37%, primarily due to an increase in consulting services
and maintenance fees reflecting the increased number of product licensees during
the year. Service revenues increased to $8,209,000 during 1997, an increase of
116%, primarily due to increases in maintenance fees and consulting services
associated with the increased sales of Intrepid's software products, and to
increases in customer funded development activities and training services.
COST OF REVENUES
Cost of License Fee Revenues: Intrepid's cost of license fee revenues
consists of sublicensing third party software products, primarily related to the
sale of Intrepid's DecisionMaster software product. Costs related to research,
design and development of products are charged to research and development
expense as incurred, and accordingly cost of license fee revenues includes no
amortization of capitalized software development costs. Intrepid had no cost of
license fee revenues prior to 1996. Cost of license fee revenues for the year
ended December 31, 1996 was $433,000, representing 10% of total license fee
revenues and 5% of total revenues. Cost of license fee revenues for the year
ended December 31, 1997 was $3,148,000, representing 19% of total license fee
revenues and 13% of total revenues, reflecting the increase in software license
fees generated from the sale of the DecisionMaster product.
Cost of Service Revenues: Cost of service revenues consists primarily of
employee related costs, including allocated overhead expenses, incurred in
providing maintenance, consulting, development and training services to
customers. Cost of services was $735,000 and $2,144,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively, representing 27% and 56% of service
revenues and 18% and 26% of total revenues for the related periods. The increase
in the dollar cost of services and the costs of services as a percent of service
revenues during the year ended December 31, 1996 was due primarily to the
increase in the number of consulting and client support personnel and related
overhead costs necessary to support current and projected future increases in
the installed customer base, and to the higher costs related to the use of
independent contractors. Cost of services was $6,533,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1997, representing 80% of service revenues and 27% of total
revenues for the period. The increase in the dollar cost of services and the
costs of services as a percent of service revenues during the year ended
December 31, 1997 was due primarily to increased levels of support required
under maintenance agreements, higher than anticipated costs of customer funded
development projects, investments made in personnel and materials required to
establish Intrepid's training organization, and to the continued increase in the
number of consulting and client support personnel and related overhead costs.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
Research and development expenses include expenses associated with the
development of new products, enhancements to existing products, documentation of
products and quality assurance activities, and consist primarily of employee
salaries, benefits, allocated overhead costs, contractor expenses and software
and hardware development tools. Costs related to research, design and
development of products are charged to research and development as incurred.
Research and development expenses were $2,375,000 and $3,702,000 for the years
ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively, representing 58% and 45% of
total revenues for
90
<PAGE> 102
the related periods. The increase in the dollar amount was primarily due to an
increase in development personnel and related overhead costs. Research and
development expenses were $8,434,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997,
representing 34% of total revenue for the period. The increase in the dollar
amount was primarily due to a significant increase in development activity
related to the development of the client server version of Intrepid's Evolution
software product, including an increase in the use of contractors as well as
increases in development staff personnel and related overhead costs.
SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions and
benefits of sales and marketing employees, allocated overhead costs, sales
related travel expenses, as well as costs of participation in industry trade
shows, marketing materials and other promotional activities. Sales and marketing
expenses were $714,000 and $2,426,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
1996, respectively, representing 18% and 29% of total revenues for the related
periods. The increase in dollar amount was primarily due to the expansion of
Intrepid's sales and marketing organization, the inception of a sales commission
plan, increased costs of participation in industry trade shows and the
development of new marketing materials. Sales and marketing expenses were
$5,294,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997, representing 21% of total
revenues for the period. The increase in dollar amount reflects the continued
expansion of Intrepid's sales and marketing organization, increases in sales
commissions associated with increased license fee revenues, increased costs of
participation in industry trade shows and the development of new marketing
programs.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries,
benefits, and allocated overhead costs for executive and administrative
personnel, and other non-allocable general expenses. General and administrative
expenses were $456,000 and $1,406,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
1996, respectively, representing 11% and 17% of total revenues for the related
periods. The increase in dollar amount was primarily due to an increase in
personnel and related overhead costs, an increase in the reserve for bad debts
and the amortization of acquired goodwill. General and administrative expenses
were $2,214,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997, representing 9% of total
revenues for the period. The increase in dollar amount reflects the continued
expansion of Intrepid's administrative support organizations, including finance,
human resources and facilities management.
INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE
Interest income was $9,000, $77,000 and $447,000 during the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively, reflecting the increase in cash
and investment balances during the periods. Interest expense was $23,000,
$98,000 and $85,000 during the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997,
respectively. Changes in interest expense are primarily due to increased
equipment and furniture capital lease obligations and short term borrowing
arrangements during the year ended December 31, 1996 and to long term equipment
financing obtained during the year ended December 31, 1997.
Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 1997 and 1998
REVENUES
Total revenues: Intrepid's revenues decreased from $4,321,000 to
$2,790,000, a decrease of 35%, for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997
and 1998, respectively. Two customers, Woolworth Corporation and Crown Books
Corporation accounted for 43% and 10%, respectively, of Intrepid's revenues in
the three month period ended March 31, 1997. Three customers, The Men's
Wearhouse, Consolidated Stores and Woolworth Corporation accounted for 22%, 15%,
and 10%, respectively, of Intrepid's revenues in the three months ended March
31, 1998. All of these customers are end users of Intrepid's products. No other
customers accounted for more than 10% of Intrepid's total revenues in the three
month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1998.
License Fee Revenues: License fee revenues were $2,393,000 and $882,000 for
the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively,
representing a decrease of 63%. The decrease was attributable to a delay in the
release of the client server version of Intrepid's Evolution software product,
and to certain
91
<PAGE> 103
performance issues subsequently corrected which developed with earlier releases
of the DecisionMaster product, effecting Intrepid's ability to leverage further
near term growth from a referencable customer base.
Service revenues: Service revenues totaled $1,928,000 and $1,908,000 for
the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively,
representing a decrease of 1%. The decrease is comprised of an increase in
maintenance fees associated with the increasing cumulative sales of Intrepid's
software products, offset by a decrease in customer funded development
activities, and a decrease in consulting and implementation services resulting
from decreased current period software sales and increased levels of support
required under maintenance agreements.
COST OF REVENUES
Cost of License Fee Revenues: Cost of license fee revenues was $321,000 and
$178,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1998,
respectively, representing 13% and 20% of license fee revenues and 7% and 6% of
total revenues for the related periods. The increase as a percent of license fee
revenues was attributable to an increased reliance on certain third party
software products with associated sublicensing costs.
Cost of Service Revenues: Cost of services was $1,379,000 and $1,790,000
for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively,
representing 72% and 94% of service revenues and 32% and 64% of total revenues
for the related periods. The increase in the dollar cost of services and the
costs of services as a percent of service revenues was due primarily to the
increase in the number of consulting and client support personnel and related
overhead costs necessary to support current and projected future increases in
the installed customer base, to increased levels of support required under
maintenance agreements, and to continuing investments in personnel and materials
required to establish Intrepid's training organization.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
Research and development expenses were $947,000 and $4,712,000 for the
three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively, representing
22% and 169% of total revenues for the related periods. The increase in dollar
amount was primarily due to a significant increase in development activity
related to the development of the client server version of Intrepid's Evolution
software product, including an increase in the use of contractors as well as
increases in development staff personnel and related overhead costs.
SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES
Sales and marketing expenses were $1,137,000 and $2,183,000 for the three
month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively, representing 26% and
78% of total revenues for the related periods. The increase in dollar amount was
primarily due to the expansion of Intrepid's sales and marketing organization,
including the costs of developing a marketing organization in the United
Kingdom, and the increased costs related to the development of new marketing
programs.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses were $404,000 and $850,000 for the
three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively, representing 9%
and 30% of total revenues for the related periods. The increase in dollar amount
was primarily due an increase in personnel and related overhead costs, including
administrative costs incurred in the United Kingdom.
INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE
Interest income was $58,000 and $94,000 for the three month periods ended
March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively, reflecting the increase in cash and
investment balances. Interest expense was $15,000 and $28,000 for the three
month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 respectively. The increase reflects
the cost of long term equipment financing obtained during the year ended
December 31, 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since inception, Intrepid Systems has financed its operations and met its
capital requirements through a combination of working capital lines of credit,
borrowings from an officer of Intrepid, equipment and furniture
92
<PAGE> 104
lease financing, private sales of preferred and common stock, and borrowings
under a secured note. Intrepid's principal investors include institutional
investors, venture capital firms, PeopleSoft and private individuals.
In 1995, Intrepid raised $4,000,000 through the sale of Series A preferred
stock. In 1996, Intrepid raised an additional $20,000 through the sale of
additional Series A preferred stock. In 1996 Intrepid raised $9,230,000 through
the sale of Series B preferred stock and Series C preferred stock warrants and
issued common stock valued at $301,000 as partial consideration in the purchase
of Kelly Information Systems. In 1997 Intrepid raised $3,447,000 through the
exercise of the Series C warrants and issuance of Series C preferred stock,
raised $465,000 through the sale of common stock, and raised $27,000 related to
the exercise of employee stock options. During the three months ended March 31,
1998 Intrepid raised $106,000 through the sale of common stock and raised $8,000
related to the exercise of employee stock options.
In April 1997, Intrepid entered into a $2,500,000 Loan and Security
Agreement which included a $1,500,000 working capital line of credit and a
$1,000,000 term loan facility which was available to finance equipment
acquisitions through December 1997. Both financing arrangements bear interest at
the lender's prime rate plus 0.5%. Borrowings under the term loan facility
totaled $916,000 during 1997. The working capital line of credit has not been
utilized. At December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998 Intrepid was in technical
default of certain covenant compliance requirements applicable to both the
working capital line of credit and the term loan facility, and has received
notification from the lender waiving these defaults.
On June 11, 1998, Intrepid entered into the Intrepid Loan Agreement with
PeopleSoft, pursuant to which Intrepid may borrow up to $5,000,000 (the "Loan")
from PeopleSoft in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof. The Loan
bears interest (i) if the Permit is not issued, at the maximum allowable rate
under applicable usury laws, or (ii) if a Permit is issued, at the most recently
established annual interest rate for two-year U.S. Treasury notes plus six
hundred (600) basis points for the period from the date the Permit is issued
through remainder of the term of the Loan. All principal and accrued interest
shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) June 30, 1999 (whether by
acceleration or otherwise), (ii) a Change of Control of Intrepid (as defined in
the Intrepid Loan Agreement), (iii) the closing of one or more sales of
securities of Intrepid (whether debt or equity) subsequent to the original date
of the Loan in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or more, or (iv) upon an Event
of Default (as defined in the Intrepid Loan Agreement). If Intrepid has not paid
the principal and accrued interest under the Loan in full by the Due Date and
the Merger Agreement is terminated, then the Loan may be converted at
PeopleSoft's election into shares of Intrepid Common Stock representing up to
10% (11% if the Permit is not issued) of the outstanding equity securities of
Intrepid immediately following such conversion. As of June 30, 1998, Intrepid
had drawn $4,000,000 from the Loan.
Intrepid has continued to experience losses from operations during the
second quarter of 1998 of approximately $4,700,000. Intrepid's management
believes that revenues for the second half of 1998 and the first half of 1999
should improve based on actions management has taken in the first half of 1998.
Intrepid believes that the proceeds of the $5,000,000 loan from PeopleSoft made
pursuant to the Loan Agreement between Intrepid and PeopleSoft, together with
the funds generated from collections of existing receivables and ongoing
software sales, will be sufficient to meet Intrepid's future cash requirements
at its current level of expenditures through June 30, 1999 if the Merger is not
consummated. However, if revenue increases do not occur in accordance with
management's expectations Intrepid could be required to obtain additional equity
or debt financing to meet its working capital and fixed asset requirements as an
independent entity, and there can be no assurance that such financing would be
available to Intrepid on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $2,805,000, $10,194,000, $149,000,
$1,449,000 and $2,045,000 at December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 and March 31, 1997
and 1998, respectively. Working capital was $3,028,000, $8,586,000, $10,483,000,
$8,442,000 and $4,131,000 at December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 and March 31, 1997
and 1998, respectively.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As more fully described in "TERMS OF THE MERGER", until such time that the
Intrepid Shareholders vote on the Merger Agreement, it is not presently known
whether the Merger will be accounted for as a pooling of interests or a
purchase. Accordingly, pro forma financial statements have been presented on
both a pooling of interests and purchase basis of accounting.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements for the Pooling Merger give effect to the proposed Merger of
PeopleSoft and Intrepid on a pooling of interests basis. Under this method of
accounting, the historical book values of the assets, liabilities and
shareholders' equity of Intrepid, as reported in its balance sheet, will be
carried over and combined with the consolidated balance sheet of PeopleSoft. The
Pro forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet assumes that the Merger
took place on March 31, 1998 and combines PeopleSoft's March 31, 1998 Unaudited
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet with Intrepid's March 31, 1998 Unaudited
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Pro Forma Combined Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations assume that the Merger took place as of
the beginning of the periods presented and combine PeopleSoft's Condensed
Consolidated Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
1998 and for the year ended December 31, 1997 with Intrepid's Results of
Operations for the same periods. Intrepid's Results of Operations for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 are immaterial to PeopleSoft's Results of
Operations for those same years, thus no pro forma income statements for these
periods are included. Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical
data to make classifications for similar items consistent between the companies
on a pro forma combined basis.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements for the Purchase Merger give effect to the proposed Merger of
PeopleSoft and Intrepid on a purchase basis. Under this method of accounting,
the purchase price will be recorded on PeopleSoft's balance sheet and allocated
to the assets and liabilities acquired based upon their estimated fair value as
of the Effective Time. The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheet assumes that the Merger took place on March 31, 1998. The Pro Forma
Combined Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations assumes that the merger
took place at the beginning of the periods presented and combine PeopleSoft's
Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations for the three months ended March
31, 1997 and 1998 and for the year ended December 31, 1997 with Intrepid's
Results of Operations for the same periods. Intrepid's Results of Operations for
the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 are immaterial to PeopleSoft's
Results of Operations for those same years, thus no pro forma income statements
for these periods are included. Certain reclassifications have been made to the
historical data to make classifications for similar items consistent between the
companies on a pro forma combined basis.
These Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated
financial statements and the related notes thereto of PeopleSoft and Intrepid
included elsewhere herein. See "Index to Consolidated Financial Statements."

POOLING MERGER
1. THE PERIODS COMBINED
The PeopleSoft condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1997, and the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, have been combined with the Intrepid condensed consolidated
statements of operations for the same periods. Intrepid's statement of
operations for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 are immaterial to
PeopleSoft's results of operations for those same years, and thus no pro forma
income statements are included for these periods.
PeopleSoft's March 31, 1998 condensed consolidated balance sheet has been
combined with Intrepid's March 31, 1998 condensed consolidated balance sheet.
2. PRO FORMA BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements are based on estimates and assumptions. The pro forma adjustments
made in connection with the development of the pro forma information are
preliminary and have been made solely for purposes of developing such pro forma
information as necessary to comply with the disclosure requirements of the SEC.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do
not purport to be indicative of the combined financial position or results of
operations of future periods or indicative of the results that actually would
have been realized had the entities been a single entity during these periods.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements reflect the issuance of 1,278,317 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock
in exchange for an aggregate of 8,047,514 shares of Intrepid Common Stock and
Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 31, 1998. Based on the formula in the
Merger Agreement, the number of shares to be issued in exchange for the
outstanding Intrepid Capital Stock at the Effective Time will be reduced by the
shares allocated to the Intrepid Vested Unexercised Options as of July 31, 1998.
The allocation of the shares to be issued by PeopleSoft among each class of
outstanding Intrepid Capital Stock is based upon the rights and preferences of
such Intrepid Capital Stock per the Intrepid Articles and is dependent upon,
among other factors, the capitalization of Intrepid and the price of PeopleSoft
Common Stock at the Effective Time. The following table is for illustrative
purposes only and reflects the exercise ratios applicable to each class of
Intrepid Capital Stock based upon the capitalization of Intrepid and the closing
price of PeopleSoft Common Stock at March 31, 1998 ($52.69 per share). The table
assumes (1) the conversion of all outstanding Series A Intrepid Preferred Stock
into Intrepid Common Stock since the preferences of the Series A Intrepid
Preferred Stock result in a higher exchange ratio for the Series A Intrepid
Preferred Stock on an if converted basis using PeopleSoft's March 31, 1998 stock
price and (2) the voluntary conversion into Intrepid Common Stock of 226,557 and
54,056 shares of Series B and C Intrepid Preferred

* Reflects conversion into Intrepid Common Stock of 280,613 shares of Intrepid
Preferred Stock in June 1998.
The transactions between Intrepid, PeopleSoft and/or their affiliates were
not material to the combined results in the periods presented herein.
3. PRO FORMA EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for
PeopleSoft have been prepared as if the Merger was completed at the beginning of
the periods presented. The pro forma basic net income per share is based on the
combined weighted average number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock
outstanding during the period and the number of PeopleSoft Common Stock to be
issued in exchange for Intrepid Common Stock and Preferred Stock as shown in the
table in Note 2.
The Pro Forma diluted income per share is computed using the weighted
average number of PeopleSoft Common Stock and dilutive common equivalent shares
outstanding during the period and the number of shares of PeopleSoft Common
Stock to be issued in exchange for Intrepid Common Stock and Preferred Stock,
and common equivalent shares as noted in the table in Note 2. Common equivalent
shares consist of the shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and
warrants using the treasury stock method.
4. MERGER TRANSACTION COSTS
PeopleSoft and Intrepid estimate they will incur transaction costs of
approximately $750,000 associated with the Merger, consisting primarily of
business consulting fees paid to investment bankers hired by PeopleSoft, legal
and accounting fees and expenses, and other related charges. This is a
preliminary estimate and is therefore subject to change. These nonrecurring
costs will be charged to operations in the fiscal quarter in which the Merger is
consummated, currently expected to be the quarter ended September 30, 1998.
The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet gives effect to
such expenses as if they had been incurred as of March 31, 1998, but the effects
of these costs have not been reflected in the Pro Forma Combined Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations as they are non-recurring charges.

5. CONFORMING AND INTERCOMPANY ADJUSTMENTS
The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements do not include adjustments to conform the accounting policies of
Intrepid to those followed by PeopleSoft. The nature and extent of such
adjustments, if any, will be based upon further study and analysis and are not
expected to be significant in relationship to the consolidated financial
statements of PeopleSoft. The Pro Forma adjustments reflect the elimination of
PeopleSoft's $3.4 million investment in Intrepid against Intrepid's
shareholders' equity and the write off of approximately $1.7 million in
duplicative computer and office equipment.
6. PROVISIONS FOR INCOME TAXES
The pro forma adjustments reflect management's estimate of the portion of
Intrepid's net operating losses, credits and other deferred tax assets that are
realizable to the combined companies considering limitations on the utilization
of the losses and credits in each respective period.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PURCHASE MERGER
1. THE PERIODS COMBINED
The PeopleSoft condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 1998 and
statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997, and the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, have been combined with the
Intrepid condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 1998 and statements
of operations for the same periods on the basis as if the Merger had occurred as
of the beginning of each period presented under the purchase method of
accounting. See footnote 7 which describes the Pro Forma adjustments.
2. PRO FORMA BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements are based on estimates and assumptions. The pro forma adjustments
made in connection with the development of the pro forma information are
preliminary and have been made solely for purposes of developing such pro forma
information as necessary to comply with the disclosure requirements of the SEC.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do
not purport to be indicative of the combined financial position or results of
operations of future periods or indicative of the results that actually would
have been realized had the entities been a single entity during these periods.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements reflect the issuance of 1,071,218 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock
in exchange for an aggregate of 8,047,514 shares of Intrepid Common Stock and
Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 31, 1998. Based on the formula in the
Merger Agreement, the number of shares to be issued in exchange for the
outstanding Intrepid Capital Stock at the Effective Time will be reduced by the
shares allocated to the Intrepid Vested Unexercised Options as of July 31, 1998.
The allocation of the shares to be issued by PeopleSoft among each class of
outstanding Intrepid Capital Stock is based upon the rights and preferences of
such Intrepid Capital Stock per the Intrepid Articles and is dependent upon,
among other factors, the capitalization of Intrepid and the price of PeopleSoft
Common Stock at the Effective Time. The following table is for illustration
purposes only and reflects the exchange ratios applicable to each class of
Intrepid Capital Stock based upon the capitalization of Intrepid and the closing
price of PeopleSoft Common Stock at March 31, 1998 ($52.69 per share). The table
assumes (1) the conversion of all outstanding Series A Intrepid Preferred Stock
into Intrepid Common Stock since the preferences of the Series A Intrepid
Preferred Stock result in a higher exchange ratio for the Series A Intrepid
Preferred Stock on an if converted basis using PeopleSoft's March 31, 1998 stock
price and (2) the voluntary conversion into Intrepid Common Stock of 226,557 and
54,056 shares of Series B and C Intrepid Preferred Stock, respectively, in June
1998. The pro forma share issuances and options to be assumed at March 31, 1998
in connection with the Merger are as follows:

* Reflects conversion into Intrepid Common Stock of 280,613 shares of Intrepid
Preferred Stock in June 1998.
** Includes 112,130 equivalent shares owned by PeopleSoft after the June 1998
conversion.
The transactions between Intrepid, PeopleSoft and/or their affiliates were
not material to the combined results in the periods presented herein.
3. PRO FORMA EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for
PeopleSoft have been prepared as if the Merger was completed at the beginning of
the periods presented. The pro forma basic net income per share is based on the
combined weighted average number of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock
outstanding during the period and the number of PeopleSoft Common Stock to be
issued in exchange for Intrepid Common Stock and Preferred Stock as shown in the
table in Note 2 net of the equivalent Intrepid shares owned by PeopleSoft.
The Pro Forma diluted income per share is computed using the weighted
average number of PeopleSoft Common Stock and dilutive common equivalent shares
outstanding during the period and the number of shares of PeopleSoft Common
Stock to be issued in exchange for Intrepid Common Stock and Preferred Stock and
common equivalent shares as noted in the table in Note 2 net of the equivalent
Intrepid shares owned by PeopleSoft. Common equivalent shares consist of the
shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants using the
treasury stock method.
4. MERGER TRANSACTION COSTS
PeopleSoft and Intrepid estimate they will incur transaction costs of
approximately $750,000 associated with the Merger, consisting primarily of
business consulting fees paid to investment bankers hired by PeopleSoft, legal
and accounting fees and expenses, and other related charges. This is a
preliminary estimate and is therefore subject to change.
5. CONFORMING ADJUSTMENTS
The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements do not include adjustments to conform the accounting policies of
Intrepid to those followed by PeopleSoft. The nature and extent of such
adjustments, if any, will be based upon further study and analysis and are not
expected to be significant in relationship to the consolidated financial
statements of PeopleSoft.
6. PROVISIONS FOR INCOME TAXES
The pro forma adjustments reflect management's estimate of the portion of
Intrepid's net operating losses, credits and other deferred tax assets that are
realizable to the combined companies considering limitations on the utilization
of the losses and credits in each respective period and the tax effect related
to the additional amortization resulting from the purchase price allocated to
developed technology and acquired workforce.
7. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS FOR PURCHASE MERGER
The purchase price of $54.7 million is comprised of 959,088 shares of
PeopleSoft Common Stock at $52.69 per share (the closing price at March 31,
1998), adjusted for the 112,130 equivalent shares of Intrepid Capital Stock
owned by PeopleSoft and the elimination of the intercorporate investment with a
carrying value of $3.4 million at March 31, 1998, and merger costs and expenses
approximating $0.8 million. Based on the formula in Merger Agreement, the shares
to be issued in a Purchase Merger have been reduced by 74,021 shares related to
vested Intrepid stock options. In addition, based on outstanding Intrepid Stock
111
<PAGE> 123
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PURCHASE MERGER (CONTINUED)
Options at March 31, 1998, 174,908 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock will be
issued upon exercise of the in connection with outstanding Intrepid stock
options to be assumed by PeopleSoft.
Under the purchase method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to
the net assets acquired based upon their estimated fair values. The accompanying
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet includes
adjustments necessary to reflect the purchase price allocation to the assets and
liabilities of Intrepid acquired in the Merger based upon such fair values as if
the Merger had occurred as of March 31, 1998. The purchase price allocation set
forth below is based on preliminary analysis by PeopleSoft which is subject to
the completion by PeopleSoft.
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Net tangible assets acquired................................ $ 5,300,000
Developed technology........................................ 8,500,000
Acquired workforce.......................................... 1,800,000
In-process research and development......................... 39,100,000
-----------
Total....................................................... $54,700,000
===========
</TABLE>
The purchase price allocation reflects a write-off of duplicative equipment
of $1.7 million and a $1.0 million reduction of deferred revenue to the cost of
the remaining services to be performed. The estimated fair value of the
developed technology and the acquired workforce will be capitalized and
amortized over a period of three years. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined
Condensed Statements of Operations reflect adjustments for such amortization.
Amortization of the workforce is recorded as cost of services, sales and
marketing and product development based upon the functions of the employees. The
in-process research and development will be charged to product development
expense upon consummation of the Merger but is not included in the Unaudited Pro
Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Operations as it is non-recurring in
nature.
If a purchase transaction under GAAP occurs for any reason other than the
occurrence of a Purchase Merger Condition as defined in the Merger Agreement, an
additional 227,506 shares would be issued and exchanged by PeopleSoft for the
outstanding Intrepid Capital Stock resulting in a total purchase price of $65.7
million based on $52.69 per share (the closing price of PeopleSoft Common Stock
at March 31, 1998). The purchase price allocation set forth below is also based
upon preliminary analysis by PeopleSoft which is subject to completion by
PeopleSoft.

Net tangible assets acquired................................ $ 5,300,000

DESCRIPTION OF PEOPLESOFT CAPITAL STOCK AND RIGHTS
IN GENERAL
The authorized capital stock of PeopleSoft consists of 700,000,000 shares
of PeopleSoft Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, and 2,000,000 shares of
Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share.
COMMON STOCK
As of July 8, 1998, there were 229,368,888 shares of PeopleSoft Common
Stock outstanding held of record by approximately 2,615 persons. Holders of
PeopleSoft Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be
voted upon by the stockholders except that, upon giving of a notice required by
law, stockholders may cumulate votes in elections of directors.
Subject to the preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding
Preferred Stock, the holders of PeopleSoft Common Stock are entitled to receive
ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the
PeopleSoft Board out of funds legally available therefor. In the event of a
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of PeopleSoft, the holders of PeopleSoft
Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment
of liabilities, subject to prior liquidation rights of Preferred Stock, if any,
then outstanding. The PeopleSoft Common Stock has no preemptive or conversion
rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund
provisions applicable to the PeopleSoft Common Stock. All outstanding shares of
Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
PREFERRED STOCK
As of June 30, 1998, 2,000,000 shares of PeopleSoft Preferred Stock were
authorized and no shares were outstanding. The PeopleSoft Board has the
authority to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of PeopleSoft Preferred Stock in one
or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions
granted to or imposed upon any unissued shares of PeopleSoft Preferred Stock and
to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designation of such
series, without any further vote or action by the PeopleSoft stockholders. The
PeopleSoft Board, without stockholder approval, can issue PeopleSoft Preferred
Stock with voting and conversion rights which could adversely affect the voting
power of the holders of PeopleSoft Common Stock. The issuance of PeopleSoft
Preferred Stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a
change in control of PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft has no present plans to issue any of
the PeopleSoft Preferred Stock.
PREFERRED STOCK RIGHTS
Under a stockholders rights plan adopted in 1995, the PeopleSoft Board
declared a dividend of one PeopleSoft Right for each outstanding share of
PeopleSoft Common Stock. Boston EquiServ, LLC (the "Rights Agent") has been
appointed to serve as rights agent. The PeopleSoft Rights Agreement, which
amended and restated the stockholders rights plan adopted in 1995, entitles the
registered holder of a PeopleSoft Right to purchase from PeopleSoft one
one-thousandth of a share of Series A Participating Preferred Stock ("PeopleSoft
Series A Preferred") at a price of $190.00 (the "Purchase Price"), subject to
adjustment. The description and terms of the PeopleSoft Rights are set forth in
the PeopleSoft Rights Agreement between PeopleSoft and the Rights Agent.
Rights Evidenced by Common Stock Certificates. The PeopleSoft Rights will
not be exercisable until the Distribution Date (defined below). Certificates for
the PeopleSoft Rights ("Rights Certificates") will not be sent to stockholders
and the PeopleSoft Rights will attach to and trade only together with the shares
of PeopleSoft Common Stock.
Distribution Date. The PeopleSoft Rights will separate from the shares of
PeopleSoft Common Stock and Rights Certificates will be issued and the
PeopleSoft Rights will become exercisable upon the earlier of: (i) 10 days (or
such later date as may be determined by a majority of the PeopleSoft Board,
excluding directors affiliated with the Acquiring Person, as defined below (the
"Continuing Directors")) following a public announcement that a person or group
of affiliated or associated persons (an "Acquiring Person") has acquired, or
obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the
outstanding PeopleSoft
113
<PAGE> 125
Common Stock, or (ii) 10 days (or such later date as may be determined by a
majority of the Continuing Directors) following the commencement of, or
announcement of an intention to make, a tender offer or exchange offer, the
consummation of which would result in the beneficial ownership by a person or
group of 20% or more of the outstanding PeopleSoft Common Stock. The earlier of
such dates is referred to as the "Distribution Date."
Issuance of Rights Certificates; Expiration of Rights. As soon as
practicable following the Distribution Date, separate Rights Certificates will
be mailed to holders of record of the PeopleSoft Common Stock as of the close of
business on the Distribution Date and such separate Rights Certificates alone
will evidence the PeopleSoft Rights from and after the Distribution Date. All
PeopleSoft Common Stock issued prior to the Distribution Date will be issued
with PeopleSoft Rights. PeopleSoft Common Stock issued after the Distribution
Date may be issued with PeopleSoft Rights if such shares are issued (i) upon the
conversion of outstanding convertible debentures or any other convertible
securities issued after adoption of the PeopleSoft Rights Agreement or (ii)
pursuant to the exercise of stock options or under employee benefit plans or
arrangements unless such issuance would result in (or create a risk that) such
options, plans or arrangements would not qualify for otherwise available special
tax treatment. Except as otherwise determined by the PeopleSoft Board, no other
PeopleSoft Common Stock issued after the Distribution Date will be issued with
the PeopleSoft Rights. The PeopleSoft Rights will expire on the earliest of (i)
February 15, 2005 (the "Final Expiration Date"), (ii) redemption or exchange of
the PeopleSoft Rights as described below, or (iii) consummation of an
acquisition of PeopleSoft satisfying certain conditions by a person who acquired
shares pursuant to a Permitted Offer as described below.
Initial Exercise of the Rights. Following the Distribution Date, and until
one of the further events described below, holders of the PeopleSoft Rights will
be entitled to receive, upon exercise and the payment of $190.00 per PeopleSoft
Right, one one-thousandth of a share of the PeopleSoft Series A Preferred. In
the event that PeopleSoft does not have sufficient PeopleSoft Series A Preferred
available for all PeopleSoft Rights to be exercised, or the PeopleSoft Board
decides that such action is necessary and not contrary to the interests of
PeopleSoft Rights holders, PeopleSoft may instead substitute cash, assets or
other securities for the PeopleSoft Series A Preferred for which the PeopleSoft
Rights would have been exercisable under this provision or as described below.
Right to Buy PeopleSoft Common Stock. Unless the PeopleSoft Rights are
earlier redeemed, in the event that an Acquiring Person becomes the beneficial
owner of 20% or more of PeopleSoft Common Stock then outstanding (other than
pursuant to a Permitted Offer), then proper provision will be made so that each
holder of a PeopleSoft Right which has not theretofore been exercised (other
than PeopleSoft Rights beneficially owned by the Acquiring Person, which will
thereafter be void) will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise,
PeopleSoft Common Stock (or, in certain circumstances as determined by the
PeopleSoft Board, cash, other property or other securities) having a value equal
to two times the Purchase Price. PeopleSoft Rights are not exercisable following
the occurrence of an event as described above until such time as the PeopleSoft
Rights are no longer redeemable by PeopleSoft as set forth below.
Right to Buy Acquiring Company Stock. Similarly, unless the PeopleSoft
Rights are earlier redeemed, in the event that, after the Shares Acquisition
Date (as defined below), (i) PeopleSoft is acquired in a merger or other
business combination transaction, or (ii) 50% or more of PeopleSoft's
consolidated assets or earning power are sold (other than in transactions in the
ordinary course of business), proper provision must be made so that each holder
of a PeopleSoft Right which has not theretofore been exercised (other than
PeopleSoft Rights beneficially owned by the Acquiring Person, which will
thereafter be void) will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise,
shares of common stock of the acquiring company having a value equal to two
times the Purchase Price (unless the transaction satisfies certain conditions
and is consummated with a person who acquired shares pursuant to a Permitted
Offer, in which case the PeopleSoft Rights will expire).
Permitted Offer. A Permitted Offer means a tender offer for all outstanding
PeopleSoft Common Stock that has been determined by a majority of the Continuing
Directors to be adequate and otherwise in the best interests of PeopleSoft and
its stockholders. Where the PeopleSoft Board has determined that a tender offer
constitutes a Permitted Offer, the PeopleSoft Rights will not become exercisable
to purchase PeopleSoft
114
<PAGE> 126
Common Stock or shares of the acquiring company (as the case may be) at the
discounted price described above.
Exchange Provision. At any time after the acquisition by an Acquiring
Person of 20% or more of the outstanding PeopleSoft Common Stock and prior to
the acquisition by such Acquiring Person of 50% or more of the outstanding
PeopleSoft Common Stock, the PeopleSoft Board may exchange the PeopleSoft Rights
(other than PeopleSoft Rights owned by the Acquiring Person), in whole or in
part, at an exchange ratio of one PeopleSoft Common Stock per PeopleSoft Right.
Redemption. At any time on or prior to the close of business on the earlier
of (i) the 10th day following the acquisition by an Acquiring Person (the "Share
Acquisition Date") or such later date as may be determined by a majority of the
Continuing Directors and publicly announced by PeopleSoft, or (ii) the Final
Expiration Date of the PeopleSoft Rights, PeopleSoft may redeem the PeopleSoft
Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.01 per PeopleSoft Right.
No Stockholders' Rights Prior to Exercise. Until a PeopleSoft Right is
exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a stockholder of
PeopleSoft (other than any rights resulting from such holder's ownership of
PeopleSoft Common Stock), including, without limitation, the right to vote or to
receive dividends.
Amendment of Rights Agreement. The provisions of the PeopleSoft Rights
Agreement may be supplemented or amended by the PeopleSoft Board in any manner
prior to the close of business on the Distribution Date without the approval of
PeopleSoft Rights holders. After the Distribution Date, the provisions of the
PeopleSoft Rights Agreement may be amended by the PeopleSoft Board in order to
cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to make changes which do not
adversely affect the interests of holders of PeopleSoft Rights (excluding the
interests of any Acquiring Person), or to shorten or lengthen any time period
under the PeopleSoft Rights Agreement; provided, however, that no amendment to
adjust the time period governing redemption shall be made at such time as the
PeopleSoft Rights are not redeemable.
Rights and Preferences of the PeopleSoft Series A Preferred. PeopleSoft
Series A Preferred purchasable upon exercise of the PeopleSoft Rights will not
be redeemable. Each share of PeopleSoft Series A Preferred will be entitled to
an aggregate dividend of 100 times the dividend declared per PeopleSoft Common
Stock. In the event of liquidation, the holders of the PeopleSoft Series A
Preferred will be entitled to a minimum preferential liquidation payment equal
to the greater of (i) $100 times the exercise price per share or (ii) 100 times
the per share amount to be distributed to the holders of the PeopleSoft Common
Stock.
Each share of PeopleSoft Series A Preferred will have 100 votes, voting
together with the PeopleSoft Common Stock. In the event of any merger,
consolidation or other transaction in which the PeopleSoft Common Stock are
changed or exchanged, each share of PeopleSoft Series A Preferred will be
entitled to receive 100 times the amount received per share of PeopleSoft Common
Stock. These rights are protected by customary anti-dilution provisions.
Because of the nature of the dividend, liquidation and voting rights of the
shares of PeopleSoft Series A Preferred, the value of the one one-hundredth
interest in a share of PeopleSoft Series A Preferred purchasable upon exercise
of each Right should approximate the value of one share of PeopleSoft Common
Stock.
Certain Antitakeover Effects of the PeopleSoft Rights. The PeopleSoft
Rights approved by the PeopleSoft Board are designed to protect and maximize the
value of the outstanding equity interests in PeopleSoft in the event of an
unsolicited attempt by an acquiror to take over PeopleSoft, in a manner or on
terms not approved by the PeopleSoft Board. The PeopleSoft Rights have been
declared by the PeopleSoft Board in order to deter such tactics, including a
gradual accumulation in the open market of shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock
representing a 20% or greater position to be followed by a merger or a partial
or two-tier tender offer that does not treat all stockholders equally. The
PeopleSoft Board believes that these tactics may unfairly pressure stockholders,
squeeze them out of their investment without giving them any real choice and
deprive them of the full value of their shares.
115
<PAGE> 127
However, the PeopleSoft Rights may have the effect of rendering more
difficult or discouraging an acquisition of PeopleSoft deemed undesirable by the
PeopleSoft Board. The PeopleSoft Rights may cause substantial dilution to a
person or group that attempts to acquire PeopleSoft on terms or in a manner not
approved by the PeopleSoft Board, except pursuant to an offer conditioned upon
the negation, purchase or redemption of the PeopleSoft Rights.
DELAWARE LAW AND CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF PEOPLESOFT'S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
AND BYLAWS
Certain provisions of Delaware law and PeopleSoft's Certificate of
Incorporation (the "PeopleSoft Certificate") could make more difficult the
acquisition of PeopleSoft by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or
otherwise and the removal of incumbent officers and directors. These provisions
are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and
inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of
PeopleSoft to first negotiate with PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft believes that the
benefits of increased protection of PeopleSoft's potential ability to negotiate
with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or
restructure PeopleSoft outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging such proposals
because, among other things, negotiation of such proposals could result in an
improvement of their terms.
Section 203. PeopleSoft is subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law ("Section 203"). In general, Section 203
prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business
combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after
the date that the person became an interested stockholder unless (with certain
exceptions) the business combination or the transaction in which the person
became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally,
a "business combination" includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other
transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the stockholder. Generally, an
"interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and
associates, owns (or within three years prior, did own) 15% or more of the
corporation's voting stock. PeopleSoft has waived the right to "elect out" of
application of Section 203.
Classified Board. The PeopleSoft Certificate provides for the PeopleSoft
Board to be divided into two classes, with staggered two-year terms. As a
result, only one class of directors is elected at each annual meeting of
stockholders of PeopleSoft, with the other class continuing for the remainder of
its respective two-year term. The classification of the PeopleSoft Board makes
it more difficult for PeopleSoft's existing stockholders to replace the
PeopleSoft Board as well as for another party to obtain control of PeopleSoft by
replacing the PeopleSoft Board. Since the PeopleSoft Board has the power to
retain and discharge officers of PeopleSoft, these provisions could also make it
more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in
management.
No Written Consent by Stockholders. The PeopleSoft Certificate provides
that if at any time PeopleSoft shall have a class of stock registered pursuant
to the Exchange Act, for so long as such class is so registered, stockholder
action can be taken only at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and may
not be taken by written consent. The Bylaws of PeopleSoft (the "PeopleSoft
Bylaws") also provide that special meetings of stockholders can be called only
by the Chairman of the Board, the President or the PeopleSoft Board.
Stockholders are not permitted to call a special meeting or to require that the
PeopleSoft Board call a special meeting of stockholders. Moreover, the business
permitted to be conducted at any special meeting of stockholders is limited to
the business brought before the meeting by the Chairman of the Board, the
President or the PeopleSoft Board. The PeopleSoft Bylaws set forth an advance
notice procedure with regard to the nomination, other than by or at the
direction of the PeopleSoft Board, of candidates for election as directors and
with regard to business to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders
of PeopleSoft.
Amendment of PeopleSoft Certificate or Bylaws. PeopleSoft Certificate and
Bylaws contain provisions requiring the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least two-thirds of the voting stock of PeopleSoft to amend the foregoing
provisions of the PeopleSoft Certificate and Bylaws.
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
The Transfer Agent and Registrar for PeopleSoft Common Stock is Boston
EquiServ, LLC.

COMPARATIVE RIGHTS OF INTREPID SHAREHOLDERS
AND PEOPLESOFT STOCKHOLDERS
If the Merger is consummated, holders of Intrepid Common Stock and
Preferred Stock will become holders of PeopleSoft Common Stock and the rights of
the former Intrepid shareholders will be governed by the Delaware General
Corporation Law ("DGCL") and by the PeopleSoft Certificate and the PeopleSoft
Bylaws. The rights of PeopleSoft stockholders under the DGCL and the PeopleSoft
Certificate and Bylaws differ in certain limited respects from the rights of
Intrepid Shareholders under the CGCL and the Intrepid Articles and the Bylaws of
Intrepid (the "Intrepid Bylaws"). Certain differences between the rights of
PeopleSoft stockholders and Intrepid Shareholders are summarized below. This
summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such
documents. For information as to how such documents may be obtained, see
"AVAILABLE INFORMATION."
RIGHTS OF PREFERRED STOCK
If the Merger is consummated, holders of Intrepid Preferred Stock will
become holders of PeopleSoft Common Stock. Under the Intrepid Articles, the
holders of Intrepid Preferred Stock have certain dividend preference rights,
liquidation preference rights, conversion rights, voting rights and rights to
elect a certain number of members of the Intrepid Board. Holders of PeopleSoft
Common Stock, however, have no such preferences or rights, and all holders of
PeopleSoft Common Stock are treated equally in terms of dividend, liquidation
and voting rights. A full description of the Intrepid Preferred Stock is
contained in the Intrepid Articles. See "AVAILABLE INFORMATION" for information
on how the Intrepid Articles may be obtained.
SIZE OF THE PEOPLESOFT BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Under the CGCL, although changes in the number of directors must in general
be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares, a corporation's board of
directors may fix the exact number of directors within a stated range set forth
in the articles of incorporation or bylaws, if that stated range has been
approved by the shareholders. The DGCL permits a corporation's board of
directors alone to change the authorized number, or the range, of directors by
amendment to the bylaws, unless the directors are not authorized to amend the
bylaws or the number of directors is fixed in the certificate of incorporation,
in which case a change in the number of directors may be made only by amendment
to the certificate of incorporation following approval of such change by the
stockholders. The PeopleSoft Certificate provides, consistent with the DGCL,
that the size of the PeopleSoft Board may be changed by amending the PeopleSoft
Bylaws either with the approval of the PeopleSoft Board acting alone or by
PeopleSoft's stockholders. While the Intrepid Bylaws specify a seven member
board, the PeopleSoft Bylaws provide for a PeopleSoft Board consisting of
between five and nine members.
POWER TO CALL SPECIAL STOCKHOLDERS' MEETINGS
Under the CGCL, a special meeting of shareholders may be called by the
board of directors, the chairman of the board, the president, the holders of
shares entitled to cast not less than ten (10%) percent of the votes at such
meeting and such additional persons as are authorized by the articles of
incorporation or the bylaws. Under the DGCL, a special meeting of stockholders
may be called by the board of directors or by any other person authorized to do
so in the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws. The PeopleSoft Bylaws do
not grant stockholders the right to call a special meeting of stockholders. The
PeopleSoft Bylaws authorize only the PeopleSoft Board, the Chairman of the
Board, or the President to call a special meeting of stockholders. Former
Intrepid Shareholders would thus not retain their right to call a special
meeting.
ACTION BY STOCKHOLDERS WITHOUT A MEETING
Pursuant to the CGCL and the Intrepid Bylaws, any action which may be taken
at any annual or special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting
and without prior notice if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so
taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the
117
<PAGE> 129
minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take that action
at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on that action were present
and voted. Under the PeopleSoft Certificate, however, such actions may not be
taken by written consent, and must be taken instead at a duly called annual or
special meeting of stockholders.
REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS; CLASSIFIED PEOPLESOFT BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Under the CGCL, any director or the entire board of directors may be
removed, with or without cause, with the approval of a majority of the
outstanding shares entitled to vote; however, no individual director may be
removed (unless the entire board is removed) if the number of votes cast against
such removal would be sufficient to elect the director under cumulative voting.
Under the DGCL, a director of a corporation that does not have a classified
board of directors or cumulative voting may be removed with or without cause
with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.
However, a director of a corporation with a classified board of directors may be
removed only for cause, unless the certificate of incorporation otherwise
provides. The PeopleSoft Certificate provides for a classified board of
directors and does not provide for the removal of a director without cause.
Consequently, members of the PeopleSoft Board can be removed only for cause. In
addition, the PeopleSoft Certificate provides that an affirmative vote of not
less than 66 2/3% of the total number of votes of the then outstanding shares of
stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together
as a single class, must be received before a director can be removed for cause.
FILLING VACANCIES ON THE PEOPLESOFT BOARD
Under the CGCL, any vacancy on the board of directors other than one
created by removal of a director may be filled by the board. If the number of
directors is less than a quorum, a vacancy may be filled by the unanimous
written consent of the directors then in office, by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the directors at a meeting held pursuant to notice or waivers of
notice or by a sole remaining director. A vacancy created by removal of a
director may be filled by the board only if the board is so authorized by a
corporation's articles of incorporation or by a bylaw approved by the
corporation's shareholders. Under the DGCL, vacancies and newly created
directorships may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, even
if less than a quorum, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of
incorporation or bylaws, and unless the certificate of incorporation directs
that a particular class is to elect such director, in which case any other
directors elected by such class, or a sole remaining director, shall fill such
vacancy. The PeopleSoft Bylaws are in accord, and contain no provision for the
allocation of directors between classes of stock.
DIRECTORS' COMMITTEES
Under the Intrepid Bylaws, the Intrepid Board may, by resolution passed by
a majority of the authorized number of directors, delegate certain limited
powers normally held only by the Intrepid Board in its entirety to a committee
comprised of two or more members of the Intrepid Board. The PeopleSoft Bylaws
contain a similar provision regarding the appointment of committees, and the
PeopleSoft Board may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole board,
similarly delegate certain limited powers normally held only by the PeopleSoft
Board in its entirety to a committee comprised of one or more members of the
PeopleSoft Board. The PeopleSoft Bylaws, however, state that such committees may
exercise any power normally held by the entire PeopleSoft Board, but may not
adopt an agreement of merger or consolidation under Section 251 or 252 of the
DGCL, recommend to the stockholders the sale, lease, or exchange of all or
substantially all of the corporation's property and assets, recommend to the
stockholders a dissolution of the corporation or a revocation of a dissolution,
or amend the Bylaws. Neither can such a committee amend the PeopleSoft
Certificate, except that a committee may, to the extent authorized in the
resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of shares of stock adopted
by the board of directors as provided in Section 151(a) of the DGCL, fix the
designations and any of the preferences or rights of such shares relating to
dividends, redemption, dissolution, any distribution of assets of the
corporation or the conversion into, or the exchange of such shares for, shares
of any other class or classes or any other series of the same or any other class
or classes of stock of the corporation or fix the number of shares of any series
of stock or authorize the increase or decrease of the shares of any series. The
Intrepid Bylaws do not have these particular limitations on a committee's
authority.

<PAGE> 130
DIVIDENDS AND REPURCHASES OF SHARES
The CGCL dispenses with the concepts of par value of shares as well as
statutory definitions of capital, surplus and the like. The concepts of par
value, capital and surplus are retained under the DGCL. Under the CGCL, a
corporation may not make any distribution unless either the corporation's
retained earnings immediately prior to the proposed distribution equal or exceed
the amount of the proposed distribution or, immediately after giving effect to
such distribution, the corporation's assets (exclusive of goodwill, capitalized
research and development expenses and deferred charges) would be at least equal
to 1 1/4 times its liabilities (not including deferred taxes, deferred income
and other deferred credits), and the corporation's current assets would be at
least equal to its current liabilities (or 1 1/4 times its current liabilities
if the average pretax and preinterest expense earnings for the preceding two
fiscal years were less than the average interest expense for such years). Such
tests are applied to California corporations on a consolidated basis. The DGCL
permits a corporation to declare and pay dividends out of surplus or, if there
is no surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is
declared and/or for the preceding fiscal year as long as the amount of capital
of the corporation following the declaration and payment of the dividend is not
less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and
outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of
assets. In addition, the DGCL generally provides that a corporation may redeem
or repurchase its shares only if such redemption or repurchase would not impair
the capital of the corporation.
STOCKHOLDER VOTING FOR ACQUISITION TRANSACTIONS
Both the CGCL and the DGCL generally require that a majority of the
stockholders of acquiring and target corporations approve statutory mergers. The
DGCL does not require a stockholder vote of the surviving corporation in a
merger (unless the corporation provides otherwise in its certificate of
incorporation) if (a) the merger agreement does not amend the existing
certificate of incorporation, (b) each share of the surviving corporation
outstanding before the merger is an identical outstanding or treasury share
after the merger, and (c) the number of shares to be issued by the surviving
corporation in the merger does not exceed 20% of the shares outstanding
immediately prior to the merger. The CGCL contains a similar exception to its
voting requirements for reorganizations where shareholders or the corporation
itself, or both, immediately prior to the reorganization will own immediately
after the reorganization equity securities constituting more than five-sixths of
the voting power of the surviving or acquiring corporation or its parent entity.
ADVANCE NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER BUSINESS
The PeopleSoft Bylaws state that, at the annual meeting of stockholders,
only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before
the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be
(a) as specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the
PeopleSoft Board, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the
direction of the PeopleSoft Board, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the
meeting by a stockholder. To be properly brought by a stockholder, a
stockholder's notice must be delivered to the secretary of PeopleSoft not less
than twenty (20) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the meeting. Such
stockholder's notice shall set forth (i) a brief description of the business
desired to be brought and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual
meeting, (ii) the name and address of the stockholder proposing such business,
(iii) the class and number of shares of PeopleSoft beneficially owned by the
stockholder, (iv) any material interest of the stockholder in such business, (v)
any other information that is required by law. The Intrepid Bylaws contain no
such provision.
AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS
Under the CGCL, the Intrepid Articles can be amended by the affirmative
vote of the Intrepid Board and of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares entitled to vote, and a majority of the outstanding stock of each class
entitled to vote as a class, unless the Intrepid Articles require the vote of a
larger portion of the stock. The Intrepid Articles require the affirmative vote
of each series of Preferred Stock for any amendments adversely affecting such
series, but does not require the vote of any larger portion of stock. As
permitted by the CGCL, the Intrepid Bylaws give the Intrepid Board or its
shareholders the power to adopt, amend or repeal
119
<PAGE> 131
the Intrepid Bylaws. Under the DGCL, the PeopleSoft Certificate can be amended
by the affirmative vote of the PeopleSoft Board and the holders of a majority of
the outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon, unless a greater than a majority
is required by the PeopleSoft Certificate. The PeopleSoft Certificate requires
an affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of the total number of votes of the then
outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election
of directors, voting together as a single class, to approve any amendment that
affects (1) the percentage vote needed to amend the PeopleSoft Certificate or
Bylaws or remove a director for cause, (2) the classified board provision, or
(3) the indemnification provision. For the other provisions in the PeopleSoft
Certificate, only an affirmative vote of the majority of shares is required.
Similar supermajority voting provisions are required to amend certain provisions
in the PeopleSoft Bylaws.
INTERESTED DIRECTOR TRANSACTIONS
Under both the CGCL and the DGCL, certain contracts or transactions in
which one or more of a corporation's directors has an interest are not void or
voidable because of such interest provided that certain conditions, such as
obtaining the required approval and fulfilling the requirements of good faith
and full disclosure, are met. With certain exceptions, the conditions are
similar under the CGCL and the DGCL. Under the CGCL and the DGCL, (a) either the
stockholders or the board of directors must approve any such contract or
transaction after full disclosure of the material facts, and in the case of
board approval the contract or transaction must also be "just and reasonable'(in
California) or "fair" (in Delaware) to the corporation, or (b) the contract or
transaction must have been just and reasonable or fair as to the corporation at
the time it was approved. In the latter case, the CGCL explicitly places the
burden of proof on the interested director. Under the CGCL, if shareholder
approval is sought, the interested director is not entitled to vote his shares
at a shareholder meeting with respect to any action regarding such contract or
transaction. If board approval is sought, the contract or transaction must be
approved by a majority vote of a quorum of the directors, without counting the
vote of any interested directors (except that interested directors may be
counted for purposes of establishing a quorum). Under the DGCL, if board
approval is sought, the contract or transaction must be approved by a majority
of the disinterested directors, even though less than a majority of a quorum.
STOCKHOLDER DERIVATIVE SUITS
The CGCL provides that a shareholder bringing a derivative action on behalf
of a corporation need not have been a shareholder at the time of the transaction
in question, provided that certain tests are met. Under the DGCL, a stockholder
may only bring a derivative action on behalf of the corporation if the
stockholder was a stockholder of the corporation at the time of the transaction
in question or his or her stock thereafter devolved upon him or her by operation
of law. The CGCL also provides that the corporation or the defendant in a
derivative suit may make a motion to the court for an order requiring the
plaintiff shareholder to furnish a security bond. Delaware does not have a
similar bonding requirement.
DIRECTORS' LIABILITY
The Intrepid Articles eliminate the liability of directors of Intrepid for
monetary damages to the fullest extent permissible under California law. The
CGCL does not permit the elimination of liability if such liability is based on:
(i) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and
culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions that a director believes to be
contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that
involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director, (iii) any
transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit, (iv)
acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director's duty to the
corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was
aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a
director's duties, of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its
shareholders, (v) acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of
inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's duty to the
corporation or its shareholders, (vi) transactions between the corporation and a
director in which such director has a material financial interest, or (vii) an
unlawful dividend, distribution, loan, guarantee, stock repurchase or
redemption. This provision would generally absolve directors of Intrepid of
personal liability for negligence in the performance of duties, including gross
negligence. Similarly, the PeopleSoft Certificate eliminates the liability of
directors for
120
<PAGE> 132
monetary damages of PeopleSoft to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The
DGCL does not permit the elimination of monetary liability if such liability is
based on: (i) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or
its stockholders, (ii) any acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) the payment of an
unlawful dividend; or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit.
INDEMNIFICATION
Under the CGCL and DGCL, a corporation shall have the power to indemnify
any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
proceeding by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer,
employee or other agent of the corporation. The Intrepid Articles and Bylaws
require Intrepid to indemnify any officer or director of Intrepid to the maximum
extent permitted by the CGCL, and permit Intrepid to indemnify its employees or
other agents. The PeopleSoft Bylaws require PeopleSoft to indemnify any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, by reason of the fact that he
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of PeopleSoft, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation or other entity, against expenses and amounts paid
in connection with such action or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
PeopleSoft and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
APPRAISAL RIGHTS
Under both the CGCL and the DGCL, a stockholder of a corporation
participating in certain major corporate transactions may, under varying
circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights pursuant to which such
stockholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair market value of his or
her shares in lieu of the consideration he or she would otherwise receive in the
transaction. Under the DGCL, such appraisal rights are not available (a) with
respect to the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets
of a corporation, (b) with respect to a merger or consolidation by a corporation
the shares of which are either listed on a national securities exchange or are
held of record by more than 2,000 holders if such stockholders receive only
shares of the surviving corporation or shares of any other corporation which are
either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than
2,000 holders, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares, or (c) to stockholders of
a corporation surviving a merger if no vote of the stockholders of the surviving
corporation is required to approve the merger because the merger agreement does
not amend the existing certificate of incorporation, each share of the surviving
corporation outstanding prior to the merger is an identical outstanding or
treasury share after the merger, and the number of shares to be issued in the
merger does not exceed 20% of the shares of the surviving corporation
outstanding immediately prior to the merger and if certain other conditions are
met. The limitations on the availability of appraisal rights under the CGCL are
different from those under the DGCL. Shareholders of a California corporation
whose shares are listed on a national securities exchange or on a list of
over-the-counter margin stocks issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System generally do not have appraisal rights unless the holders of at
least five (5%) percent of the class of outstanding shares claim the right or
unless the corporation or any law restricts the transfer of such shares.
Appraisal rights are unavailable, however, if the shareholders of a corporation
or the corporation itself, or both, immediately prior to the reorganization will
own immediately after the reorganization equity securities constituting more
than five sixths of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring corporation
or its parent entity, and if the shares of the surviving corporation have the
same rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions as the shares of the
disappearing corporation that are surrendered in exchange.
"BLANK CHECK" PREFERRED STOCK AND COMMON STOCK RIGHTS
The PeopleSoft Certificate permits the PeopleSoft Board to determine the
rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of authorized but unissued
Preferred Stock, commonly referred to as "Blank Check" Preferred Stock. The
issuance of Preferred Stock with extraordinary rights maybe used to deter
hostile takeover attempts. The PeopleSoft Board could issue such PeopleSoft
Preferred Stock at any time in the future without
121
<PAGE> 133
stockholder approval. The Intrepid Articles do not permit the Intrepid Board to
issue "Blank Check" Preferred Stock.

Crutcher LLP. The opinions of counsel as described under "BACKGROUND OF AND
REASONS FOR THE MERGER -- Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences," are expected
to be rendered by Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich &
Rosati.
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
PeopleSoft expects that it will hold its next annual meeting of
stockholders in approximately the month of 1999. According to the
SEC's rules, any stockholder who intends to submit a proposal for inclusion in
the proxy materials for such 1999 annual meeting must submit such proposal to
PeopleSoft a reasonable time before the solicitation for such annual meeting is
made, which is generally considered to be not less than 120 calendar days in
advance of the expected release date of the proxy solicitation materials. If the
next annual meeting is held in 1999, PeopleSoft expects that the
release of the proxy solicitation materials will occur in the month of
1999. PeopleSoft will advise its stockholders by press release or
other appropriate public communication when it has determined the date of its
next meeting of stockholders.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
PeopleSoft, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PeopleSoft, Inc.
at December 31, 1996 and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of
income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1997. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
PeopleSoft, Inc. at December 31, 1996 and 1997, and the consolidated results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
THE COMPANY
PeopleSoft, Inc. (the "Company") designs, develops, markets, licenses and
supports a family of client/server enterprise application software products,
including manufacturing, distribution, financial, and human resource management
systems. The Company also provides services such as maintenance, training,
installation, consulting and product support services. Customers consist
primarily of large and medium sized organizations including corporations, higher
education institutions, non-profit entities and federal, state and local
government agencies. The Company's business is predominately based in the United
States. It does not have a concentration of credit or operating risk in any one
industry or any one geographic region within the United States.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the period. Despite management's best effort to establish good
faith estimates and assumptions, actual results may differ from these estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS AND LONG TERM INVESTMENTS
Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with insignificant interest
rate risk and remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of
purchase and are stated at amounts which approximate fair value, based on quoted
market prices. Cash equivalents consist principally of investments in
interest-bearing demand deposit accounts with financial institutions,
tax-advantaged money market funds and highly liquid debt securities of
corporations, municipalities and the U.S. Government. All other cash is held in
bank demand deposits.
The Company accounts for its cash equivalents and investments under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Management determines the
appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and
reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. At December 31, 1996
and 1997 the Company has classified all of its debt securities as
available-for-sale, the components of which follow (in thousands):

Unrealized gains and losses at December 31, 1996 and 1997 and realized
gains and losses for the years then ended were not material. The cost of
securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable are comprised of billed receivables arising from
recognized and deferred revenues and unbilled receivables, which include accrued
license fees for payments not yet due and accrued services. The Company does not
require collateral for its receivables. Reserves are maintained for potential
losses. For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997 actual write-offs
were not significant. Future actual writeoffs may differ from the Company's
estimates and could have a material impact on the Company's future results of
operations. The principal components of accounts receivable were as follows at
December 31, (in thousands):

</TABLE>
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method
over estimated useful lives of two to three years for computer equipment, five
years for telephones and office equipment, seven years for furniture and
fixtures, and 30 years for buildings. Leasehold improvements are depreciated
over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the asset. Intangible
assets are amortized over a three to five year life.
CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE
The Company capitalizes software purchased from third parties if the
related software product under development has reached technological feasibility
or if there are alternative future uses for the purchased software provided that
capitalized amounts will be realized over a period not exceeding five years. In
addition, the Company capitalizes certain internally incurred costs, consisting
of salaries, related payroll taxes and benefits, and an allocation of indirect
costs related to developing computer software products. Costs incurred prior to
the establishment of technological feasibility are charged to product
development expense. The establishment of technological feasibility and the
ongoing assessment of recoverability of capitalized software development costs
require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external
factors, including, but not limited to, anticipated future revenues, estimated
economic life and changes in software and hardware technologies. Upon the
general release of the software product to customers, capitalization ceases and
such costs are amortized (using the straight-line method) on a product by
product basis over the estimated life which is generally three years. All other
research and development expenditures are charged to research and development
expense in the period incurred.

During 1995, the Company acquired certain manufacturing software from
Andersen Consulting for $4.0 million for use in its manufacturing software
products. Upon the acquisition of PeopleSoft Manufacturing, Inc. ("PMI"), and
the subsequent general availability of PMI's manufacturing software product line
in December 1996, the Company determined that the manufacturing software
acquired from Andersen was redundant and expensed the balance at December 31,
1996 (see Note 8). Also, as part of the acquisition of PMI, the Company
allocated $6.5 million to developed software costs which is being amortized over
five years.
DEFERRED REVENUE
Deferred revenue is comprised of deferrals for license fees, maintenance,
training and other services. The principal components of deferred revenue at
December 31, 1996 and 1997 were as follows (in thousands):

Other services......................................... 14,164 26,128

$183,252 $327,668
======== ========
</TABLE>
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company licenses software under noncancellable license agreements and
provides services including training, installation, consulting and maintenance,
consisting of product support services and periodic updates. License fee
revenues are generally recognized when a noncancellable license agreement has
been signed, the software product has been shipped, there are no uncertainties
surrounding product acceptance, there are no significant vendor obligations, the
fees are fixed and determinable, and collection is considered probable. The
Company allocates a portion of contractual license fees to post-contract support
activities covered under the contract including first year maintenance,
installation assistance and limited training services. Revenues from maintenance
agreements are recognized ratably over the maintenance period, which in most
instances is one year. Revenues for training or consulting services are
recognized as services are performed. Revenue and profits under contracts
requiring significant customization are recognized using contract accounting.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS
109"). This statement provides for a liability
F-9
<PAGE> 143
PEOPLESOFT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
approach under which deferred income taxes are provided based upon enacted tax
laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the taxes become payable.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The Company has determined that the functional currency of each foreign
operation is the local currency. The effects of translation rate changes related
to assets and liabilities located outside the United States are included as a
component of stockholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses
are included in Other income, interest expense and other on the Consolidated
Statements of Income. Through 1997, such gains and losses have not been
significant.
In January 1998, the Company initiated a foreign exchange hedging program
designed to hedge foreign currency net receivables and payables of PeopleSoft's
foreign subsidiaries. The program uses forward foreign exchange contracts as the
vehicle for hedging these intercompany balances. In general, these forward
foreign exchange contracts have terms of three months or less. Gains and losses
on these contracts will be recognized as other income or expense in the current
period, consistent with the period in which the gain or loss of the underlying
transaction is recognized. The foreign exchange hedging program is managed in
accordance with a corporate policy approved by the Company's Board of Directors.
In addition to hedging existing transaction exposures, the Company's
foreign exchange management policy allows for the hedging of anticipated
transactions, and exposure resulting from the translation of foreign subsidiary
financial results into U.S. Dollars. Such hedges can only be undertaken to the
extent that the exposures are highly certain, reasonably estimable, and
significant in amount. These hedges will only be undertaken should the Company
deem them necessary to protect the U.S. Dollar value of the underlying exposure.
The Company foresees that hedges of such anticipated transactions and
translation exposures will be done in the future using forward and option
contracts.
PER SHARE DATA
Share amounts for all periods presented reflect restatement for the
two-for-one stock split in December 1997. In February 1997, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS
128"), requiring public companies to exclude the dilutive effect of stock
options in calculating basic earnings per share as of December 31, 1997. As a
result, the Company changed the method used to compute earnings per share and
restated earnings per share for all prior periods. Basic income per share as
required under SFAS 128 is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed using
the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares
outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of the shares
issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury
stock

In October 1995, the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") was issued and effective
for the year ending December 31, 1996. As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company has
continued to account for employee stock options in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"
("APB Opinion No. 25") and has made the pro forma disclosures required by SFAS
123 for each of the three years in the period ending December 31, 1997 in Note
3.
NEWLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition" was
issued in October 1997 and addresses software revenue recognition. The SOP
supersedes SOP 91-1 and is effective for transactions entered into for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997. Based upon its reading and
interpretation of SOP 97-2 the Company believes its current revenue recognition
policies and practices are materially consistent with the SOP. However,
implementation guidelines for this standard have not yet been issued and a wide
range of potential interpretations are being discussed by the accounting
profession. Once available, such implementation guidance could lead to
unanticipated changes in the Company's current revenue accounting practices, and
such changes could be material to the Company's future revenue and earnings.
In June 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income ("SFAS 130") was issued. Under SFAS 130 all
items that meet the definition of comprehensive income will be reported in a
financial statement for the period in which they are recognized. Comprehensive
income will include changes in the balances of items that are reported directly
in a separate component of Stockholders' equity on the Consolidated Balance
Sheets. The Company will make the disclosures required by SFAS 130 in the first
quarter of 1998.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131") was issued in
June 1997. SFAS 131 requires that a public business enterprise report financial
and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Generally,
financial information is required to be reported on the basis used internally
for evaluating segment performance and resource allocation. SFAS 131 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1997, however,
disclosure is not required in interim financial statements in the initial year
of adoption.

Accordingly, the Company will make the required disclosures for the year ending
December 31, 1998, although the Company has not fully assessed the impact of
SFAS 131 on its financial disclosures.
2. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company leases office facilities under operating leases which generally
require the Company to pay operating costs, including property taxes, insurance
and maintenance. The Company also leases certain computer equipment under
operating leases. Computer leases require the return of the equipment or payment
of residual values. Such residual values, which approximate fair values, are not
material to the consolidated financial statements.
Future minimum operating lease payments for the years ending December 31,
are due as follows (in thousands):

Rent expense totaled approximately $6.9 million, $9.8 million and $19.6
million in 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively.
In December 1996, the Company entered into a five year lease for a new
office facility in Pleasanton, California. This lease is structured as an
operating lease, however, the accounting treatment will ultimately be determined
upon inception of the lease term when the Company occupies the facility. The
lease commitments related to this lease have been included in the amounts above.
The lessor has committed to fund up to a maximum of $70.0 million for
construction of the facility. Construction on the facility is anticipated to be
completed in the third quarter of 1998 and payments under this lease will begin
at that time. The interest rate charged on amounts funded is LIBOR plus 0.625%
as measured on the date of each funding or rollover. At each funding or rollover
date, the Company has its choice of term and LIBOR rate (1 month, 2 months, 3
months, 6 months, 9 months or 12 months) applicable to each tranche at the date
the respective funding amount is requested and approved. The Company has an
option to renew the lease for a an additional three years, subject to certain
conditions. If at the end of the lease term the Company does not purchase the
property, the Company would guarantee a residual value to the lessor equal to a
specified percentage of the lessor's cost of the facility. Under this lease, the
Company is required to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants, is
prohibited from making certain payments, including cash dividends, and is
subject to various other restrictions. At December 31, 1997, the total amount
funded by the lessor for construction of the facility was $38.5 million.
Subsequent to 1997, the Company negotiated an amendment to this lease which
extends the term of the lease until February 2003, with an option to renew for
an additional three years. Additionally, the Company negotiated a fixed rate
funding option under which the Company may elect that any or all of the amounts
funded to date be charged a fixed interest rate. The Company has the option of
setting the fixed rate expiration date for any date through the end of the lease
term.
Under certain software license agreements, the Company is required to
maintain surety bonds and/or letters of credit benefiting third party customers
which may be drawn against if the Company fails to perform its contractual
obligations. At December 31, 1997, three such surety bonds with a cumulative
total value of
F-12

PEOPLESOFT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
$9.3 million with maturity dates ranging from September 1998 to June 2000, and
one letter of credit for $991,000 with an expiration date of April 1998 were
outstanding.
The Company is party to various legal disputes and proceedings arising from
the ordinary course of general business activities. In the opinion of
management, resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material
adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows
of the Company. However, depending on the amount and the timing, an unfavorable
resolution of some or all of these matters could materially affect the Company's
future results of operations or cash flows in a particular period.
3. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
Under a stockholder rights plan established in 1995, every share of common
stock carries the right (a "Right"), under certain circumstances, to purchase
equity securities of the Company or an acquiring company. Ten days after a
tender offer or acquisition of 20 percent or more of the Company's common stock,
each Right may be exercised for $190 ("Exercise Price") to purchase one
one-thousandth of one share of the Company's Series A Participating Preferred
Stock. Each one one-thousandth of each share of Series A Participating Preferred
Stock will generally be afforded economic rights similar to one share of the
Company's common stock. In addition, each Right entitles the holder to purchase
common stock of the Company with a fair value of twice the Exercise Price or, in
certain circumstances, securities of the acquiring company for the Exercise
Price. Each Right expires in February 2005, and, during specified periods, the
Company may redeem or exchange each Right for $.01 or one share of common stock,
respectively.
COMMON STOCK
In December 1997, the Company's common stock was split two for one. All
share and per share amounts applicable to prior periods have been restated to
reflect the split. The Company has never paid cash dividends on its capital
stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable
future. At December 31, 1997, 67,102,507 authorized but unissued shares of
common stock were reserved for issuance under the Company's stock plans and for
outstanding warrants.
STOCK PLANS
1992 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Under the 1992 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), eligible employees
may purchase common stock at a price equal to 85 percent of the lower of the
fair market value of the common stock at the beginning or end of each offering
period. Participation in the offering is limited to the lesser of ten percent of
an employee's compensation or $21,250 per year, may be terminated at any time by
the employee and automatically ends upon termination of employment with the
Company. A total of 6,000,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for
issuance under this plan of which 4,453,504 shares have been issued through
December 31, 1997. Under this plan, 1,031,568 shares, 869,956 shares and 741,628
shares were issued in 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. In January 1998,
420,906 shares were issued in connection with the offering period ended December
31, 1997. Subsequent six-month offering periods will commence on each January 1
and July 1.
1989 Stock Plan
Pursuant to the 1989 Stock Plan, incentive and non-qualified stock options
to purchase shares of the Company's common stock may be granted, and 99,600,000
shares have been reserved for issuance under this Plan. The exercise price of
each incentive and non-qualified stock option shall not be less than 100 percent
and 85 percent, respectively, of the fair market value of the stock on the date
the option is granted. The options
F-13
<PAGE> 147

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
expire 10 years after the date of grant and are exercisable to the extent
vested. Vesting is established by the Board of Directors and generally occurs at
the rate of 20 percent per year from the date of grant.
1993 Red Pepper Software Company Plan
In connection with the merger of PeopleSoft and Red Pepper in 1996,
PeopleSoft assumed all of the outstanding stock options of Red Pepper (adjusted
for the exchange ratio). As of the date of the merger, 2,163,388 shares of
PeopleSoft common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options
assumed in connection with the business combination.
COMBINED OPTION ACTIVITY
Option activity under the 1989 Stock Plan, including the 1993 Red Pepper
Software Company Plan stock options assumed by PeopleSoft as a result of the
merger, is as follows:

December 31, 1997, options to purchase 13,081,129 shares were exercisable and
options for 15,651,435 shares were available for grant.
1992 DIRECTORS' STOCK OPTION PLAN
Under the 1992 Directors' Stock Option Plan, directors who are not officers
or employees may receive nonstatutory options to purchase shares of common
stock. A total of 2,400,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for
issuance under this plan and, as of December 31, 1997, options to purchase
578,000 shares with exercise prices of $1.766 to $23.97 per share have been
granted. Under this plan, 176,000, 48,000, and 34,000 options were granted in
1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. During 1997, options to purchase 4,000 were
exercised. At December 31, 1997, options to purchase 28,000 shares were
exercisable and options for 1,822,000 shares were available for grant.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
As permitted under SFAS 123, the Company has elected to continue to follow
APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for stock-based awards to employees. Under APB
Opinion No. 25, the Company generally recognizes no compensation expense with
respect to such awards, since the exercise price of the stock options granted
are equal to the fair market value of the underlying security on the grant date.
F-14
<PAGE> 148
PEOPLESOFT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is
required by SFAS 123 for awards granted after December 31, 1994 as if the
Company had accounted for its stock-based awards to employees under the fair
value method of SFAS 123. The fair value of the Company's stock-based awards to
employees was estimated as of the date of the grant using a Black-Scholes option
pricing model. Limitations on the effectiveness of the Black-Scholes option
valuation model are that it was developed for use in estimating the fair value
of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable
and that the model requires the use of highly subjective assumptions including
expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's stock-based awards to
employees have characteristics significantly different from those of traded
options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially
affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do
not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its
stock-based awards to employees. Both of these plans are discussed in this Note
above. The fair value of the Company's stock-based awards to employees was
estimated assuming no expected dividends and the following weighted-average
assumptions:

and the six-month purchase period for stock purchases under the ESPP. The

WARRANTS
In November 1995, the Company received $21.8 million through the private
placement of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,000,000 shares of the
Company's common stock. Upon notice of exercise by the holders of the warrants,
the Company, at its option, may settle such exercise by either issuing the full
amount of shares and receiving cash proceeds, issuing a net amount of shares
with no cash proceeds, or purchasing the warrants for an amount equal to the
difference between the then fair market value of the common stock and the
warrant exercise price. In November 1997, the Company issued 942,880 shares of
common stock pursuant to the net exercise of warrants to purchase 1,600,000
shares of common stock at $13.75 per share. The warrants are exercisable by the

5. RETIREMENT PLAN
The Company has two defined contribution savings plans, a qualified plan
(401k Plan) under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code
that covers all full-time employees and a non-qualified plan which covers
employees with earnings over $160,000 per year. Under the terms of the 401k
Plan, member employees may contribute varying amounts of their annual
compensation (to a maximum of $9,500). The Company matches a portion of
qualified employee contributions based upon years of service, up to a maximum of
ten percent of the employee's compensation, subject to certain vesting
provisions based on length of employee service. Company contributions to the
401k Plan totaled $0.5 million in 1995, $0.7 million in 1996 and $2.0 million in
1997. Under the terms of the non-qualified plan, member employees may contribute
varying amounts of their annual compensation up to 100 percent. The Company
matches a portion of non-qualified employee contributions based upon years of
service, up to a maximum of $9,500, subject to certain vesting provisions based
on length of employee service. Company contributions to the non-qualified plan
totaled $118,000 in 1995, $291,000 in 1996, and $249,000 in 1997.
6. JOINT BUSINESS ARRANGEMENTS
The Company and a limited liability company ("LLC") entered into agreements
in 1995 and 1997, whereby the LLC will provide up to $9.6 million to fund the
development of a suite of student information and administration system
applications ("SIS Software") and the Company is the exclusive distributor of
the SIS
F-18
<PAGE> 152
PEOPLESOFT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Software. Substantially all of the LLC's funds were provided equally by the
Company's founder and principal stockholder and the Student Loan Marketing
Association ("Sallie Mae"), an independent strategic business partner. The
Company has no contractual obligation to provide funds to the LLC and does not
have a right to acquire any of the LLC's equity interests. The Company will pay
the LLC a royalty based on fees received from the licensing of the SIS Software
until the later of five years from the commercial release of the SIS Software or
$17 million in cumulative royalties. The royalty rate was determined based on
negotiations between the Company and Sallie Mae. All ownership rights and
interests in the SIS Software will transfer to the Company, upon the later of
five years from the commercial release of the SIS Software or when $17 million
in cumulative royalties have been paid to the LLC. The SIS Software became
generally available for sale in December 1997, and the Company recorded $3.3
million in cumulative royalty expense in the year ended December 31, 1997. The
LLC reimbursed the Company $2.0 million, $2.4 million and $3.2 million in 1995,
1996 and 1997, respectively, for development funding advanced by the Company,
and, in 1998, the Company anticipates using the remaining $2.0 million to fund
the development of two new related software products. In addition, the Company
was reimbursed $98,000 in 1995 and $65,700 in 1996 for interest on such
advances.
7. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS
The Company operates in one industry segment, the design, development,
marketing, licensing and support of a family of client/server enterprise
application software products, and markets its software products and services
through the Company's offices in the United States and its branches,
subsidiaries and distributors in Canada, Europe/Africa, Asia/Pacific and Latin
America. As discussed in Note 1, information about the Company's operating
segments will be reported for the year ending December 31, 1998 as required by
SFAS 131. International revenues from each geographic region was less than ten
percent of total revenues.

assets of Salerno Manufacturing were acquired for approximately 600,000 shares
of common stock in transactions accounted for as pooling-of-interests; however,
prior period consolidated financial statements were not restated because the
retroactive effects were not material. All of the member interests of TeamOne
were acquired for $4 million cash in a transaction accounted for under the
purchase method, and results of operations of TeamOne are included in the
consolidated financial statements prospectively from the date of acquisition.
The Company did not incur significant merger related costs associated with these
transactions and the aggregate effect of the three acquisitions was not material
to the financial position and results of operations of the Company in any
period.
1996 Business Combinations
In 1996, the Company completed two business combinations: Red Pepper
Software Company (Red Pepper) and PMI. Red Pepper is a leader in the emerging
supply chain management systems market, and PMI developed the Company's
Manufacturing application suite. All of the outstanding shares of Red Pepper
were acquired in exchange for approximately 10.8 million shares of common stock
and the assumption, under the Company's stock option plan, of all outstanding
rights to purchase Red Pepper common stock which approximated 1.1 million shares
of PeopleSoft stock. The Red Pepper transaction was accounted for as a pooling
of interests and the historical consolidated financial statements of PeopleSoft
for the periods prior to the merger have been restated in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements to include the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows of Red Pepper. In addition, merger costs of $2.9
million were charged to operations in 1996.
All of the assets of PMI were acquired in November 1996 for an aggregate
purchase price of $30.1 million. This transaction has been accounted for under
the purchase method and resulted in a one-time charge to earnings of $22.5
million in 1996 for in-process research and development. Significant components
of the $30.1 million purchase price included the issuance of common stock with a
fair value of $14.4 million, issuance of common stock options to PMI employees
with a fair value of $7.6 million, issuance of a note payable of $4.7 million,
and forgiveness of debt and other consideration of $3.4 million. The purchase
price was allocated, based upon an independent valuation, to in-process research
and development costs with a fair value of $22.5 million, capitalized software
of $6.5 million and cash and other assets of $1.1 million. The results of the
operations of PMI have been included in the Company's consolidated financial
statements since November 1, 1996. The results of operations of PMI for periods
prior to November 1, 1996, were not material to the consolidated financial
statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1998
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The information at March 31, 1997 and 1998 and for the three month periods
then ended is unaudited, but includes all adjustments (consisting only of
normal, recurring adjustments) which the Company's management believes to be
necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operations, and changes in cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported
period. Despite management's best effort to establish good faith estimates and
assumptions, and to manage the achievement of the same, actual results may
differ.
The accompanying interim financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual
Report to Shareholders (Form 10-K) for the year ended December 31, 1997. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange
Commission rules and regulations. Interim results of operations for the three
month period ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of operating
results for the full fiscal year.
2. PER SHARE DATA
Share amounts for all prior periods presented reflect restatement for the
two-for-one stock split in December 1997. Basic income per share is computed
using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted income per share is computed using the weighted average number
of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
Common equivalent shares consist of the shares issuable upon the exercise of
stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). The following
table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income per share for the
three months ended March 31, (in thousands except per share amounts):

5. TRANSFER OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
The Company finances certain software license and service agreements with
customers through the sale, assignment and transfer of the future payments under
those agreements to financing institutions, principally on a non-recourse basis.
The Company records such transfers as sales of the related accounts receivable
when it is considered to have surrendered control of such receivables under the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting
for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities."
6. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income includes changes in the balances of items that are
reported directly in a separate component of Stockholders' equity on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company had comprehensive income comprised of
accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments totaling $870,000 and
$291,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998,
respectively.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors of
Intrepid Systems, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Intrepid Systems, Inc. (the
"Company") as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, and the related statements of
operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1997. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Intrepid Systems, Inc. at December 31, 1996
and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1996 AND 1997
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Intrepid Systems, Inc. (the "Company") designs, develops, markets and
supports high performance application software for the retail industry, and also
provides implementation, consulting, training and development services
(professional services) to its customers.
Use of Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principals requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents represent funds held in money market accounts.
Short-term Investments are classified as hold to maturity, with maturity
dates occurring between January and June of the following year. At December 31,
1997 the aggregate fair value of investments was $9,380,000, representing
unrealized holding gains of $88,000.
Accounts Receivable and Major Customers -- The Company's customers are
major retail companies located in the United States and Canada. At December 31,
1996 and 1997, the Company established an allowance for doubtful accounts of
$487,000 and $230,000, respectively.
Four major customers accounted for 95% of total revenues during 1995. Five
major customers accounted for 53% of trade receivables as of December 31, 1996
and three major customers accounted for 46% of total revenues during 1996. Two
major customers accounted for 74% of trade receivables outstanding as of
December 31, 1997, and five major customers accounted for 60% of total revenues
during 1997.
Unbilled License and Service Fees include the balances of software license
fees and professional services fees for products delivered and services
performed which become billable by the Company with the passage of time in
accordance with contractual terms.
Property is stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Certain items
of equipment acquired under capital leases have been capitalized and are
reflected in the accompanying balance sheets as equipment and the obligations
under capital leases. Depreciation of property, including assets acquired under
capital leases, is computed on the straight-line method based on useful lives of
three to five years.
Asset Impairment -- Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of its assets may not be recoverable, the Company,
using its best estimates, based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and
projections, reviews for impairment the carrying value of its long-lived
identifiable assets and related intangibles to be held and used in the future.
Income Taxes -- The Company uses the liability method to account for income
taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities, net of valuation allowances, are
recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the
financial statements carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and
liabilities.
Revenue Recognition -- The Company's revenues are derived from three main
sources: (i) fees for the perpetual license of the Company's proprietary
software products, (ii) revenue from professional services, and (iii) revenue
from maintenance agreements for maintaining, supporting and providing periodic
upgrades of the Company's software products. The Company designates a portion of
the contractual license fee to the initial maintenance agreement bundled with
the software license and recognizes the remainder as license fee revenue upon
delivery of the software product to the customer. Revenues from initially
bundled and subsequent separately priced maintenance agreements are recognized
ratably over the term of the agreements. Professional service fees are
recognized as the services are performed.
F-32
<PAGE> 166
INTREPID SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1996 AND 1997
Deferred Revenue results from cash collections and billed receivables for
which revenue has not been recognized on software license and maintenance
agreements.
Deferred Rent -- The Company leases office space for its corporate
headquarters. This lease includes scheduled base rent increases over the term.
The total amount of base rent payments, including scheduled increases, is
expensed on a straight-line method over the term of the lease. Deferred rent
represents the excess of such amounts over actual cash payments.
Research and Development Expenses -- Development costs incurred in the
research and development of new software products are expensed as incurred until
technological feasibility has been established. The Company considers
technological feasibility to be established when all planning, designing, coding
and testing has been completed according to design specifications. After
technological feasibility is established, any additional costs would be
capitalized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold,
Leased or Otherwise Marketed. Historically product development has been
substantially completed concurrently with the establishment of technological
feasibility and, accordingly, no costs have been capitalized.
Stock-based Compensation -- The Company accounts for stock-based awards to
employees using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.
New Accounting Pronouncements -- In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No.
130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, and SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No. 130 requires that an
enterprise report, by major components and as a single total, the change in its
net assets during the period from nonowner sources; and SFAS No. 131 establishes
annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprise's operation segments
and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and major
customers. Adoption of these statements will not impact the Company's financial
position, results of operations or cash flows and any effect will be limited to
the form and content of its disclosures. Both statements are effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, with earlier application
permitted.
In October of 1997, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position
97-2 Software Revenue Recognition. This statement provides guidance on applying
generally accepted accounting principles in recognizing revenues on software
transactions. This Statement is effective for transactions entered into in
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company believes that the
adoption of this statement will not have a material impact on its revenue
recognition.
Per Share Data -- Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net
loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the
weighted average number of common shares plus dilutive common equivalent shares
outstanding during the period, however conversion of common equivalent shares
would be anti-dilutive since the Company incurred operating losses for each of
the three years ended December 31, 1997, and therefore the common equivalent
shares of 2,850,000 in 1995, 7,540,000 in 1996 and 11,942,000 in 1997 have not
been converted for the diluted computation.
Reclassifications -- Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform with current year classifications.
2. ACQUISITION OF KELLY INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC.
On April 28, 1996 the Company purchased the assets of Kelly Information
Systems, Inc., a decision support applications software company. The total
acquisition cost was $2,626,000 comprised of 1,781,316
F-33
<PAGE> 167
INTREPID SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1996 AND 1997
shares of the Company's common stock valued at $301,000, $165,000 in cash,
$1,835,000 of short-term notes payable, $272,000 in assumed liabilities and
$53,000 in direct costs and other costs related to the acquisition.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction. In connection
with the acquisition, the Company allocated $497,000 to identifiable tangible
assets (primarily accounts receivable and property), and wrote off $1,467,000 of
purchased in-process research and development. The remaining $662,000 of the
acquisition cost was allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets, which
are being amortized over a five-year period. The $1,300,000 remaining in notes
payable at December 31, 1996 was paid in January 1997.
The amount of the purchase price allocated to in-process research and
development, related primarily to one product, was charged to the Company's
operations because technological feasibility had not been established and no
alternative uses existed at the acquisition date. The Company continued research
and development on this product until technological feasibility was established
and the product released in November 1996.

The Company established a valuation allowance of $2,003,000 and $2,632,000
at December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively, due to the uncertainty of realizing
future tax benefits from its net operating loss

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1996 AND 1997
carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards and other deferred tax assets;
therefore, no tax benefit has been recorded. Income tax expense for the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 results from various state minimum tax
payments.
At December 31, 1996 and 1997, the Company had federal net operating loss
carryforwards of $995,000 and $1,171,000, respectively, and research and
development tax credits of $211,000 and $490,000, respectively, which expire in
varying amounts from 2007 through 2013, state net operating loss carryforwards
of $586,000 and $653,000, respectively, which expire in varying amounts from
1998 through 2003, and state research and development tax credits of $214,000
and $385,000, respectively, which have no expiration date.
Internal Revenue Code Section 382 places a limitation (the "Section 382
Limitation") on the amount of taxable income which can generally be offset by
net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards after a change in control (generally
greater than a 50% change in ownership) of a loss corporation. California has
similar rules. Generally, after a control change, a loss corporation cannot
deduct NOL carryforwards in excess of the Section 382 Limitation. Due to these
"changes in ownership" provisions, utilization of the NOL and tax credit
carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation regarding their utilization
against taxable income in future periods.
5. SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY
In December 1996 the Company issued 728,752 shares of Series B convertible
preferred stock for $13.00 per share. Cash proceeds were $9,223,000, net of
issuance costs of approximately $250,000. Each share of the Series B preferred
stock is convertible at any time into four and one-half shares of common stock,
subject to adjustment for certain anti-dilution provisions, and is automatically
convertible into common stock upon a public offering of the Company's shares at
a specified minimum share price and minimum gross proceeds or upon the consent
of the holders of a majority of the shares outstanding. The Series B preferred
stock has voting rights equivalent to the number of common shares into which
each share is convertible, has a liquidation preference of $13.00 per share plus
any declared but unpaid dividends, and has a noncumulative annual dividend
preference of $1.30 per share.
In connection with the issuance of the Series B convertible preferred
stock, the Company also issued warrants to purchase 235,920 shares of Series C
convertible preferred stock for $7,000. The warrants were exercisable through
December 31, 1997 at a price of $17.18 per share and 200,634 were exercised as
of that date for total proceeds of $3,447,000. Each share of the Series C
preferred stock is convertible at any time into four and one-half shares of
common stock, subject to adjustment for certain anti-dilution provisions, and is
automatically convertible into common stock upon a public offering of the
Company's shares at a specified minimum share price and minimum gross proceeds
or upon the consent of the holders of a majority of the shares outstanding. The
Series C preferred stock has voting rights equivalent to the number of common
shares into which each share is convertible, has a liquidation preference of
$17.21 per share plus any declared but unpaid dividends, and has a noncumulative
annual dividend preference of $1.72 per share.
In December 1995 the Company issued 522,876 shares of Series A convertible
preferred stock and in January 1996 the Company issued an additional 2,614
shares for total proceeds of $4,020,000. Each share of the Series A preferred
stock is convertible at any time into four and one-half shares of common stock,
subject to adjustment for certain anti-dilution provisions, and is automatically
convertible into common stock upon a public offering of the Company's shares at
a specified minimum share price and minimum gross proceeds or upon the consent
of the holders of a majority of the shares outstanding. The Series A preferred
stock has voting rights equivalent to the number of common shares into which
each share is convertible, has a liquidation preference of $7.65 per share plus
any declared but unpaid dividends, and has a non-cumulative annual dividend
preference of $.038 per share.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1996 AND 1997
In April 1996 the Company issued 171,000 shares of common stock under
restricted stock grants to former employees of Kelly Information Systems, Inc.
(see Note 2) who became employees of the Company. Subject to continued
employment, the shares vest at a rate of 25% one year after the first day of
employment by Kelly Information Systems, Inc., then 2.08% per month over a
remaining three-year period. Shares issued are recorded at their fair market
value as of the date of the grant, as determined by the Board of Directors, with
a corresponding charge to shareholder's equity representing the unearned portion
of the grant. The unearned portion is being amortized as compensation expense on
a straight-line basis over the related vesting period, or upon termination.
Compensation expense was $12,000 and $7,000 during 1996 and 1997, respectively.
The stock subscription receivable represents the amount due to the Company
from the sale of Series C preferred stock which payment had not been received at
December 31, 1997. Such amount was received in January 1998.
6. BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS
At December 31, 1996, the Company had an $800,000 working capital line of
credit which was committed through May 1997. Borrowings bore interest at the
30-day commercial paper rate plus 2.9%. The credit agreement provided that the
line of credit be collateralized by the personal assets of an officer of the
Company and the Company's trade receivables, and contained restrictions related
to various matters, including the Company's ability to effect mergers or
acquisitions without the lender's approval. The line of credit was not utilized
during 1996 and there were no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit as
of December 31, 1996.
The Company has a $1,500,000 working capital line of credit which is
committed through June 1998, and a $1,000,000 term loan facility which was
available for financing equipment acquisitions through December 1997. Both the
line of credit and the term loan facility bear interest at the lender's prime
rate plus 0.5%, are collateralized by the general assets of the Company, and
contain restrictions related to various matters, including the Company's ability
to effect mergers or acquisitions without the lender's approval. The line of
credit was not utilized during 1997, and there were no outstanding borrowings
under the line of credit as of December 31, 1997. Borrowings under the term loan
facility totaled $916,000 during 1997, and $858,000 remained outstanding at
December 31, 1997.
The terms of the credit agreements contain, among other things,
requirements for maintaining quarterly profitability, a monthly quick ratio, and
a monthly minimum liquidity coverage. At December 31, 1997, the Company was in
technical default of certain covenant compliance requirements. The Company has
received notification from the lender waiving these defaults.
7. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Under the Company's 1992 Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan"), 3,187,500
shares of the Company's common stock have been made available for grant to
certain employees. The exercise price of each option granted is 100% of fair
market value on the date of the grant, as determined by the Board of Directors.
Generally, the options vest and are exercisable at a rate of 25% at the end of
the first year, then 2.08% per month over the remaining three year period. The
term of each option is ten years. At December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, 413,514,
864 and 217,166 shares of common stock were reserved for future option grants,
respectively.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company continues to account for its
stock-based awards using the intrinsic value method in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,
and its related interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been
recognized in the financial statements for employee stock option arrangements.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, (SFAS 123) requires the disclosure of pro forma net
income had the Company adopted the fair value method as of the beginning of
fiscal 1995. Under SFAS 123, the fair value of stock-based awards to employees
is calculated through the use of option pricing models, even though such models
were developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable
options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from the
Company's stock option awards. These models also require subjective assumptions,
including expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values.
The Company's calculations were made using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected life, 60 months
following vesting; zero volatility; risk free interest rates of 6.7% in 1995,
6.3% in 1996 and 6.3% in 1997; and no dividends during the expected term.
Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. If the computed fair values of the
1995, 1996 and 1997 awards had been amortized to expense over the vesting period
of the

awards, the Company's pro forma net loss for 1995, 1996 and 1997 would have been
$234,000,$3,378,000 and $705,000, respectively.
The Company has a 401(k) tax-deferred savings plan covering substantially
all of its employees. Company matching contributions are optional under the
plan, and no such contributions were made in 1995, 1996 and 1997.
8. COMMITMENTS
The Company leases, under operating leases, office space and computer
equipment with varying expiration dates through 2002. The leases generally
provide for minimum annual rentals and payment of taxes, insurance and
maintenance costs and include renewal and escalation provisions. Rental expense
for operating leases was $218,000, $462,000 and $887,000 for 1995, 1996 and
1997, respectively. The Company leases, under capital leases, computer equipment
and office furniture and equipment with varying expiration dates through 2000.

INTREPID SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED) THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1998
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 1998 and for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998 were prepared by
Intrepid Systems, Inc. (the "Company") in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principals. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a fair
presentation of such interim financial statements. While the Company believes
that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not
misleading, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes related thereto
included elsewhere herein.
The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998
are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principals requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
In January 1998, the Company established a subsidiary, Intrepid Systems
(UK), Ltd., in the United Kingdom. This subsidiary is responsible for product
marketing in the European region. The functional currency of the subsidiary is
pounds sterling. There were no material foreign currency translation gains or
losses recognized during the three-month period ended March 31, 1998.
PER SHARE DATA -- Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing
the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed
by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common
shares plus dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
However, since the Company incurred operating losses for the three-month period
ended March 31, 1998, conversion of common equivalent shares would be
anti-dilutive and therefore the common equivalent shares of 13,338,000 during
that period have not been converted for the diluted computation.
2. BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has a $1,500,000 working capital line of credit which is
committed through June 1998, and a $1,000,000 term loan facility which was
available for financing equipment acquisitions through December 1997. Both the
line of credit and the term loan facility bear interest at the lender's prime
rate plus 0.5%, are collateralized by the general assets of the Company, and
contain restrictions related to various matters, including the Company's ability
to effect mergers or acquisitions without the lender's approval. The line of
credit was not utilized during the three months ended March 31, 1998, and there
were no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit as of March 31, 1998.
There were no borrowings under the term loan facility during the three months
ended March 31, 1998, and $802,000 remained outstanding at March 31, 1998.
The terms of the credit agreements contain, among other things,
requirements for maintaining quarterly profitability, a monthly quick ratio, and
a monthly minimum liquidity coverage. At March 31, 1998, the Company was in
technical default of certain covenant compliance requirements and accordingly
the outstanding balance has been recorded as current.
3. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On June 2, 1998 a total of 226,557 shares of Series B convertible preferred
stock and 54,056 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock were converted
to into a total of 1,262,759 common shares.
F-42
<PAGE> 176
On June 3, 1998 PeopleSoft, Inc. ("PeopleSoft") and the Company signed a
binding agreement to merge the two companies. PeopleSoft will issue up to
1,372,745 shares of common stock to acquire all the outstanding capital stock of
the Company in a transaction to be accounted for as a pooling of interests. The
transaction is expected to close during the third quarter of 1998, subject to
the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
On June 11, 1998, the Company entered into a Working Capital Line of Credit
(the "Loan") with PeopleSoft, under which the Company may borrow up to
$5,000,000 to fund its working capital and fixed asset requirements. If a permit
is issued by the California Department of Corporations with respect to an
exemption of the Loan from the usury laws under Section 25116 of the California
Corporations Code the Loan will bear interest at the most recently established
annual interest rate for two-year U.S. Treasury notes plus six hundred basis
points. If a permit is not issued the Loan bears interest at the maximum
allowable rate under applicable usury laws. All principal and accrued interest
is due and payable on the earlier of June 30, 1999, a change of control of
Intrepid or the closing of one or more sales of securities of Intrepid
subsequent to the original date of the Loan. Under certain conditions, including
the termination of the Merger Agreement, PeopleSoft may convert the Loan into
Intrepid common shares representing up to 10% (11% if the Permit is not issued)
of the outstanding equity securities of Intrepid immediately following such
conversion. As of June 30, 1998, Intrepid had drawn $4,000,000 under the terms
of the Loan.
Intrepid has continued to experience losses from operations during the
second quarter of 1998 of approximately $4,700,000. Intrepid's management
believes that revenues for the second half of 1998 and the first half of 1999
should improve based on actions management has taken in the first half of 1998.
Intrepid believes that the proceeds of the $5,000,000 loan from PeopleSoft made
pursuant to the Loan Agreement between Intrepid and PeopleSoft, together with
the funds generated from collections of existing receivables and ongoing
software sales will be sufficient to meet Intrepid's future cash requirements at
its current level of expenditures through June 30, 1999 if the Merger is not
consummated. However, if revenue increases do not occur in accordance with
management's expectations Intrepid could be required to obtain additional equity
or debt financing to meet its working capital and fixed asset requirements as an
independent entity, and there can be no assurance that such financing would be
available to Intrepid on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

pursuant to Section 8.1, the closing of the Merger (the "Closing") will take
place as promptly as practicable, but no later than five (5) Business Days,
following satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI, at
the offices of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, San Francisco, California, unless
another place or time is agreed to by Acquiror and the Company. The date upon
which the Closing actually occurs is herein referred to as the "Closing Date".
On the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated
by (i) executing and filing a Certificate of Merger (or like instrument) with
the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "Certificate of Merger"),
in accordance with the relevant provisions of Delaware Law (the time of
acceptance by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of such filing
being referred to herein as the "Effective Time"), (ii) executing and filing
with the Secretary of State of the State of California the certificates required
by Section 1108 of California Law (the "Section 1108 Certificates"), and (iii)
executing and filing such other documents as shall be necessary or appropriate
to effect the Merger.
1.3. Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the
Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of Delaware Law and
California Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject
thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and
franchises of the Company shall vest in Acquiror, and all debts, liabilities and
duties of the Company shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of
Acquiror.
1.4. Maximum Number of Shares to Be Issued; Effect on Capital Stock;
Treatment of Stock Options.
(a) Maximum Number of Shares to Be Issued; Effect on Capital
Stock. The number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock to be issued in exchange
for and upon conversion of all outstanding Company Capital Stock shall equal the
Merger Share Amount. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as
of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the
part of Acquiror, the Company or the holder of any shares of Company Capital
Stock, the following shall occur:
(1) Conversion of Company Capital Stock. Each share
of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares (as defined and to the extent
provided in Section 1.6(a)) will be canceled and extinguished and be converted
automatically into the right to receive its portion of the Merger Share Amount
in accordance with the liquidation preferences set forth in the Company's
Articles of Incorporation, including with respect to each whole share of
Acquiror Common Stock to be issued in exchange for and upon conversion of shares
of Company Capital Stock, the right to receive one preferred share purchase
right (a "Right") under Acquiror's Preferred Shares Rights Agreement, as
amended.
(2) Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of
Acquiror Common Stock will be issued, but in lieu thereof, each holder of shares
of Company Capital Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a
share of Acquiror Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of
Acquiror Common Stock to be received by such holder) shall
A-13
<PAGE> 190
be entitled to receive from Acquiror an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest
whole cent) equal to the product of (i) such fraction, multiplied by (ii) the
Average Stock Price.
(3) Definitions.
(i) Escrow Amount. Means ten percent (10%)
of the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock issued under Section 1.4(a),
which shares shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent and held in accordance with
Article VII.
(ii) Total Outstanding Common Amount.
Means the aggregate number of shares of the Company Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(b) Treatment of Options. At the Effective Time, all options
to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock then outstanding under the
Intrepid Systems, Inc. 1992 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "Option Plan"),
or otherwise, shall be assumed by Acquiror in accordance with the provisions
described below.
(1) At the Effective Time, each outstanding option
to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock (a "Company Option") under the
Option Plan or otherwise, whether vested or unvested, shall be, as a consequence
of the Merger, assumed by Acquiror. Each Company Option so assumed under this
Agreement shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and
conditions set forth in the Option Plan and/or as provided in the respective
option agreements governing such Company Option immediately prior to the
Effective Time, except that (i) such Company Option shall be exercisable for
that number of whole shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal to the product of the
number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company Option
immediately prior to the Effective Time, and the Exchange Ratio, rounded to the
nearest whole number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock, and (ii) the per share
exercise price for the shares of Acquiror Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
such assumed Company Option shall be equal to the quotient determined by
dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such
Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the
Exchange Ratio, rounded to the nearest whole cent; provided, however, that
Acquiror may make but is not required to make such adjustments to the number of
shares of Acquiror Common Stock or the exercise price of such assumed Company
Option, as Acquiror reasonably deems necessary, in order to prevent any such
Company Option that is characterized by the Company as an "incentive stock
option" immediately prior to Closing from failing to so qualify solely by reason
of Sections 424(a)(1) or 424(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code").
(2) Promptly following the Effective Time, Acquiror
shall issue to each holder of an outstanding Company Option a document
evidencing the foregoing assumption of such Company Option.
(c) Adjustments. The Merger Share Amount, Exchange Ratio,
Vested Unexercised Share Amount and all other similar and related items shall be
adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split,
stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible
into Acquiror Common Stock or Company Capital Stock),
A-14
<PAGE> 191
reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with respect to Acquiror
Common Stock or Company Capital Stock occurring after the date hereof and prior
to the Effective Time.
1.5. Accounting Treatment. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, it is the intention of the parties that the Merger
qualify for treatment as, and be accounted for as, a pooling-of-interests under
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16. In connection therewith, (1) the
Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the approval of this Agreement, the
Merger and the transactions to be consummated in connection therewith, by
ninety-nine and one-half percent (99.5%) of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of the Company; and (2) the Company shall take no action, or omit to take
action, the result of which action or omission would be for the Merger to fail
to qualify for "pooling-of-interests" accounting treatment.
1.6. Dissenting Shares.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock held by a holder who has demanded
and perfected appraisal or dissenters' rights for such shares in accordance with
the applicable requirements of the Delaware Law or California Law, as
applicable, and who, as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or
lost such appraisal or dissenters' rights ("Dissenting Shares"), shall not be
converted into or represent a right to receive Acquiror Common Stock pursuant to
Sections 1.4 and 1.7, but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such
rights as are granted by Delaware Law or California Law.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), if any
holder of shares of Company Capital Stock who demands appraisal of such shares
under Delaware Law or California Law shall at any time effectively withdraw or
lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) the right to appraisal, then, as
of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such
holder's shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the
right to receive Acquiror Common Stock and Rights as provided in Section 1.4,
without interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate representing such
shares.
(c) The Company shall give Acquiror (i) prompt notice of any
written demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Capital Stock,
withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to
Delaware Law or California Law and received by the Company and (ii) the
opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to
demands for appraisal under Delaware Law or California Law. The Company shall
not, except with the prior written consent of Acquiror, voluntarily make any
payment with respect to any demands for appraisal of Company Capital Stock or
offer to settle or settle any such demands.
1.7. Surrender of Certificates.
(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Acquiror
shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to
act as exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent") in the Merger.
A-15
<PAGE> 192
(b) Acquiror to Provide Common Stock. Promptly after the
Effective Time, Acquiror shall make available to the Exchange Agent, for
exchange in accordance with this Article I, the number of shares of Acquiror
Common Stock equal to the Merger Share Amount; provided that, on behalf of the
shareholders of the Company and pursuant to Section 7.2 of this Agreement,
Acquiror shall withhold from such shares and deposit into the Escrow Fund (as
defined in Article VII) the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal to
the Escrow Amount. The portion of the Escrow Amount deposited on behalf of each
such shareholder shall be equal to ten percent (10%) of the aggregate number of
shares of Acquiror Common Stock that such shareholder would otherwise be
entitled to receive under Section 1.4.
(c) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time,
Acquiror shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of Company Capital
Stock who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, held Company Capital Stock
which at the Effective Time was converted into the right to receive shares of
Acquiror Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.4, (i) a letter of transmittal (that
shall specify that delivery of the certificates representing Company Capital
Stock (the "Certificates") shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to such
Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such Certificates to the Exchange
Agent) and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Acquiror may
reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the
Certificates in exchange for certificates representing shares of Acquiror Common
Stock. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent,
together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in
accordance with such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be
entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing the number
of whole shares of Acquiror Common Stock (less the number of shares of Acquiror
Common Stock to be deposited in the Escrow Fund on such holder's behalf pursuant
to Article VII), plus cash in lieu of fractional shares, all in accordance with
Section 1.4, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. As
soon as practicable after the Effective Time, and subject to and in accordance
with the provisions of Article VII hereof, Acquiror shall cause to be
distributed to the Escrow Agent (as defined in Article VII) a certificate or
certificates representing that number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal
to the Escrow Amount, which shall be registered in the name of the Escrow Agent.
Such shares shall be beneficially owned by the holders on whose behalf such
shares were deposited in the Escrow Fund and shall be available to compensate
Acquiror as provided in Article VII. Until so surrendered, each outstanding
Certificate that, prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Company
Capital Stock will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all
corporate purposes, to evidence the ownership of the number of full shares of
Acquiror Common Stock into which such shares of Company Capital Stock shall have
been converted and the right to receive an amount in cash in lieu of the
issuance of any fractional shares, as provided for in Section 1.4.
(d) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No
dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with
respect to Acquiror Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time
will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the
shares of Acquiror Common Stock represented thereby until the holder of record
of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate in the manner required
above. Subject to Applicable Law, upon surrender of any such Certificate,
A-16
<PAGE> 193
the record holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Acquiror
Common Stock issued in exchange therefor shall be paid, without interest, at the
time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a
record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid or, if declared but
unpaid, on the payment date therefor with respect to such whole shares of
Acquiror Common Stock.
(e) Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate for shares of
Acquiror Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the
Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a
condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered will be
properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person
requesting such exchange will have paid to Acquiror or any agent designated by
it any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a
certificate for shares of Acquiror Common Stock in any name other than that of
the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or established to the
satisfaction of Acquiror or any agent designated by it that such tax has been
paid or is not payable.
(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section 1.7, none of the Exchange Agent, Acquiror, the Company and the
Escrow Agent shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Capital Stock for
any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable
abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
1.8. No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. The shares
of Acquiror Common Stock into which Company Capital Stock is converted in
accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash paid in respect thereof)
shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights
pertaining to such Company Capital Stock, and there shall be no further
registration of transfers on the records of Acquiror or the Company of shares of
Company Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to Acquiror for
any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.
1.9. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any
Certificates are lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in
exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an
affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such shares of Acquiror Common
Stock and cash for fractional shares, if any, as may be required pursuant to
Section 1.4; provided that, as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof,
the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates shall enter into an
indemnification agreement satisfactory to Acquiror as indemnity against any
claim that may be made against Acquiror or the Exchange Agent with respect to
the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
1.10. Tax and Accounting Consequences. It is intended by the parties
hereto that the Merger shall (i) constitute a reorganization within the meaning
of Section 368 of the Code, (ii) unless a Purchase Merger shall have occurred,
qualify for accounting treatment, and be treated, as a pooling of interests, and
(iii) if a Purchase Merger shall have occurred, be treated as a purchase for
accounting purposes.

1.11. Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after
the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out
the purposes of this Agreement and to vest in Acquiror full right and title to
and possession of all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and
franchises of the Company, the officers and directors of Acquiror are hereby
fully authorized in the name of Acquiror, the Company and otherwise to take all
such lawful action.

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
5.1. Employee Matters.
(a) Employees. The parties currently contemplate that
substantially all employees of the Company will be offered employment with
Acquiror on terms to be proposed by Acquiror, subject to execution of Acquiror's
standard forms of offer letters and non-disclosure agreements. All such
employees of the Company desirous of becoming employees of Acquiror will be
subject to employment at the will of Acquiror. Employees who do not receive an
offer of employment from Acquiror shall be eligible for the severance benefits
agreed upon in writing by Acquiror and the Company; provided, however, that in
order to be eligible for receipt of such severance benefits, each such employee
must first execute a written release, in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to Acquiror releasing Acquiror from all claims arising out of their
employment with the Company or with Acquiror. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing contained herein shall be interpreted or construed to create a contract
of employment between such employee and Acquiror.
(b) Eligibility for Acquiror Employee Plans. Upon the Closing,
each of the employees of the Company who becomes an employee of Acquiror upon
the Effective Time of the Merger ("Continuing Employee") shall cease to
participate in or accrue benefits under the Company Employee Plans (except to
the extent contemplated by Section 1.4(b) under the Option Plan) and shall be
eligible to participate in the Acquiror employee benefit plans generally
applicable to employees of Acquiror, and if the Acquiror determines to be
appropriate, such enhanced plans appropriate to such employees position with
Acquiror (the "Acquiror Employee Plans") in accordance with the terms of each
such plan. For purposes of the Acquiror Employee Plans (with the exception of
the Acquiror vision plan) the years of service of each Continuing Employee that
were recognized by the Company as of the Effective Time of the Merger for a
Company Employee Plan shall be recognized by Acquiror for purposes of each
Acquiror Employee Plan that Acquiror determines to be a corresponding plan, in
each case to the extent allowed under the provisions of each of the applicable
Acquiror Employee Plans. Pursuant to the terms of Acquiror's 401(k) plan, any
matching contributions by Acquiror under the 401(k) plan for any Continuing
Employee shall be only with respect to such Continuing Employee's contributions
after the Effective Time and not with respect to contributions made by the
Continuing Employee to the Company's 401(k) plan prior to the Effective Time.
(c) Eligibility for Acquiror Incentive Compensation Plans.
Acquiror shall take all actions necessary to cause all Continuing Employees
whose date of hire by the Company is on or before April 1, 1998 to become
eligible to participate in Acquiror's Employee Incentive Bonus (the "Incentive
Plan") commencing on the July 1, 1998, October 1, 1998 or January 1, 1999,
whichever date shall first occur after the Closing, and to cause all Continuing
Employees whose date of hire by the Company is after April 1, 1998 to become
eligible to participate in Acquiror's incentive compensation plan commencing on
October 1, 1998 or January 1, 1999, whichever date shall first occur after the
Closing. This

Section 5.1(c) shall not apply with respect to any Continuing Employee who
participates in any variable compensation plan of Acquiror other than the
Incentive Plan.

shall take all necessary actions so that the Company Employee Plans are frozen

its accountants, counsel and other representatives, reasonable access during
normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time to (a) all
of the Company's properties, books, contracts, agreements and records, and (b)
all other information concerning the business, properties and personnel (subject
to restrictions imposed by Applicable Law) of it as Acquiror may reasonably
request. No information or knowledge obtained in any investigation pursuant to
this Section 5.2 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or
warranty contained herein or the conditions to the obligations of the parties to
consummate the Merger. Acquiror shall provide the Company and the Shareholders
copies of such publicly available information about Acquiror as the Company may
reasonably request and shall provide the Company and the Shareholders with
reasonable access to appropriate members of management in this regard.
5.3. Expenses. Whether or not the Merger is consummated, all fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the Merger, including all legal,
accounting, financial advisory, consulting and all other fees and expenses of
third parties incurred by a party in connection with the negotiation and
effectuation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby ("Third Party Expenses"), shall be the obligation of the
respective party incurring such fees and expenses; provided, however, that if
the Merger is consummated, the Company shall use best efforts to cause its Third
Party Expenses, and any Third Party Expenses incurred on behalf of any
shareholders, not to exceed Two Hundred Fifty-Five Thousand Dollars ($255,000).

(including securities laws) or, as to Acquiror, by the rules and regulations of
the Nasdaq National Market, prior to the Effective Time, Acquiror and the
Company shall consult with each other before making any disclosure (whether or
not in response to an inquiry) of the subject matter of this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby, and no public announcement or press release
regarding the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
thereby shall be made by any party hereto unless approved by Acquiror and the
Company prior to release, provided that such approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Acquiror and the Company shall cooperate in good faith to prepare and
agree upon any press release or other public announcement that either of them
may determine is necessary or in its best interests.
5.5. Consents. The Company on the one hand, and Acquiror, on the other

in respect of, or filing with, or notice, to any Governmental Authority is
required or reasonably appropriate, or any action, consent, approval or waiver
from any party to any Contract is required or reasonably appropriate, in
connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated
A-44

by the Company or Acquiror, as the case may be, in connection therewith. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (including any "ultimate
parent entity", as defined in the HSR Act), and Acquiror (including any
"ultimate parent entity", as defined in the HSR Act) shall promptly prepare and
make their respective filings and, unless this Agreement shall have been
terminated in accordance with its terms, thereafter shall make all required or
requested submissions, under the HSR Act or any analogous Applicable Law, if
required. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in taking such
actions or making any such filings, the parties hereto shall furnish all
information required in connection therewith and seek timely to obtain any such
actions, consents, approvals or waivers; provided, however, that the parties
hereto shall cooperate with each other in connection with the making of all such
filings, including, to the extent the following is permitted under Applicable
Law, by (a) providing copies of all such documents to the non-filing parties and
their advisors prior to filing and, if requested, to accept reasonable
additions, deletions or changes suggested in connection therewith and (b)
providing to each other party copies of all correspondence from and to any
Governmental Authority in connection with any such filing. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, neither the Company nor Acquiror (nor any of their respective
Affiliates) shall be under any obligation to comply with any request or
requirement imposed by the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC"), the Department
of Justice (the "DofJ") or any other Governmental Authority in connection with
the compliance with the HSR Act if such party, in the exercise of such entity's
reasonable discretion, deems such request or requirement unduly burdensome.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Company nor
Acquiror (nor any of their respective Affiliates) shall be obligated to comply
with any request by, or any requirement of, the FTC, the DofJ or any other
Governmental Authority: (i) to publicly disclose information such party
reasonably deems it in its best interests to keep confidential; (ii) to dispose
of any assets or operations; or (iii) to comply with any restriction on the
manner in which it conducts its operations.
5.6. Reasonable Efforts. Subject to the terms and conditions provided
in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable efforts
to take promptly, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do promptly, or
cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under Applicable
Laws to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby, to
obtain all necessary waivers, consents and approvals, to effect all necessary
registrations and filings and to remove any injunctions or other impediments or
delays, legal or otherwise, in order to consummate and make effective the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement for the purpose of securing to the
parties hereto the benefits contemplated by this Agreement and the satisfaction
of the conditions herein; provided that Acquiror shall not be required to agree
to any divestiture by Acquiror or the Company or any of Acquiror's Affiliates of
shares of capital stock or of any business, assets or property of Acquiror or
its Affiliates or the Company or its Affiliates, or the imposition of any
material limitation on the ability of any of them to conduct their businesses or
to own or exercise control of such assets, properties and stock.
5.7. Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt
notice to Acquiror, and Acquiror shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (i)
the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or group of the foregoing, the
occurrence or non-occurrence of which
A-45
<PAGE> 222
is likely to cause any representation or warranty of the Company and Acquiror,
respectively, contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any
material respect at or prior to the Effective Time except as contemplated by
this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedules) and (ii) any failure of the
Company or Acquiror, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy in any
material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or
satisfied by it hereunder; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice
pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall not limit or otherwise affect any remedies
available to the party receiving such notice.
5.8. Pooling Accounting. Acquiror and the Company shall each use their
best efforts to cause the business combination to be effected by the Merger to
be accounted for as a pooling of interests. Each of Acquiror and the Company
shall use its reasonable efforts to cause its respective employees, directors,
shareholders and Affiliates not to take any action that would adversely affect
the ability of Acquiror to account for the business combination to be effected
by the Merger as a pooling of interests. Neither Acquiror nor the Company shall
take any action, including the acceleration of vesting of any options, warrants,
restricted stock or other rights to acquire shares of the capital stock of the
Company, which reasonably would be expected to (i) interfere with Acquiror's
ability to account for the Merger as a pooling of interests or (ii) jeopardize
the nature of the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368
of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party to this Agreement shall be
required to enter into any amendment, consent, waiver or modification of this
Agreement in order to preserve the pooling of interests accounting treatment, or
the status as a reorganization, of the Merger, and each party reserves the right
to approve or disapprove any proposed amendment, consent, waiver or modification
in its sole and absolute discretion.
5.9. Affiliate Agreements.
(a) The Company shall provide to Acquiror such information and
documents as Acquiror shall reasonably request for purposes of reviewing

certificates evidencing any Acquiror Common Stock to be received by Affiliates
of the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and to issue appropriate
stop transfer instructions to the transfer agent for Acquiror Common Stock,
consistent with the terms of the Affiliate Agreements.
(b) Acquiror shall provide to the Company such information and
documents as the Company shall reasonably request for purposes of reviewing
Schedule 6.2(f).
5.10. Additional Documents and Further Assurances. Each party hereto,
at the request of any other party hereto, shall execute and deliver such other
instruments and do and perform such other acts and things as may be necessary or
reasonably requested for effecting completely the consummation of this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby.
5.11. Nasdaq Listing. Acquiror shall authorize for listing on the
Nasdaq Stock Market the shares of Acquiror Common Stock to be issued, and those

to comply with the securities and blue sky laws of all jurisdictions which are
applicable to the issuance of Acquiror Common Stock pursuant hereto. The Company
shall use its best efforts to assist Acquiror as may be necessary to comply with
the securities and blue sky laws of all jurisdictions which are applicable in
connection with the issuance of Acquiror Common Stock pursuant hereto.

directors of the Company on the date hereof in accordance with the Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company as they are currently in effect for
action or inaction by any such person prior to the Merger.
5.14. Registration Statement on Form S-4; Company Shareholder Approval.
(a) Acquiror shall register the offer and sale of the shares
of Acquiror Common Stock to be issued in the Merger pursuant to a Registration
Statement on Form S-4 (the "S-4") filed with the SEC and including therein a
proxy statement (the "Proxy Statement") to be sent to the Company's shareholders
soliciting their consent to the Merger. The Company shall provide to Acquiror
and its counsel for inclusion in the Proxy Statement of the S-4, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Acquiror and its counsel, such information
concerning the Company, its operations, capitalization, technology, share
ownership and other material as Acquiror or its counsel may reasonably request.
Each of Acquiror and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to
respond to any comments of the SEC to have the S-4 declared effective under the
1933 Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and to cause the Proxy
Statement to be mailed to the Company's shareholders at the earliest practicable
time. Each party will notify the other parties hereto promptly of the receipt of
any comments from the SEC or its staff and of any request by the SEC or its
staff for amendment or supplements to the S-4 or the Proxy Statement or for
additional information and will supply the other party with copies of all
correspondence between such party or any of its representatives, on the one
hand, and the SEC, or its staff, on the other hand, with respect to the S-4 or
the Proxy Statement. Whenever any event occurs which should be set forth in an
amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement and the S-4 Filing, Acquiror, or
the Company, as the case may be, shall promptly inform the others of such
occurrence and cooperate in filing with the SEC or its staff.
(b) As promptly as practicable after the execution of this
Agreement and at such time as Acquiror may request so as not to interfere with
the S-4 registration process, the Company shall submit this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby to its shareholders for approval and adoption
as provided by California Law and its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws (the
"Shareholder Vote"). The Company shall use its best efforts to solicit and
obtain the consent of its shareholders sufficient to approve the Merger and this
Agreement and to enable the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable. The
materials submitted to the Company's shareholders shall be subject to reasonable
review and approval by Acquiror and include information regarding the Company,
the terms of the Merger and this Agreement and the unanimous recommendation of
the Board of Directors of the Company in favor of the Merger and this Agreement.

5.15. Grant of Stock Options by the Company. Prior to the Effective
Time, if a Purchase Merger shall have occurred, the Company shall grant to each
person set forth on Schedule 5.15 hereto, in exchange for the cancellation of
the Company Option described on such schedule, a new option to purchase an
equivalent number of shares of Company Common Stock at an exercise price equal
to the approximate fair market value per share of Company Common Stock.
5.16 Receivables. The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to
collect in full each of the Woolworth Receivable and the Edison prior to the
Closing to the extent requested by Acquiror; provided, however, that nothing set
forth herein shall affect Acquiror's right to indemnification under Article VII
in the event either the Woolworth Receivable or the Edison Receivable is not
collected in full by December 31, 1998. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acquiror
shall not settle or compromise the Woolworth Receivable for any amount less than
the then outstanding amount owing thereon or the Edison Receivable for any
amount less than the then outstanding amount owing thereon, in each case without
the prior written approval of the Securityholder Agent.
5.17 Registration Rights.
(a) In the event that Acquiror is unable to register on the
S-4 all of the shares of Acquiror Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this
Agreement, Acquiror shall use all reasonable efforts to cause any such shares
not registered on the S-4 (the "Registrable Securities") to be registered under
the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") so as to permit the resale
thereof, and in connection therewith shall use all reasonable efforts to prepare
and file with the SEC within thirty (30) Business Days following the Closing
Date and shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to become effective as soon
as practicable thereafter, a registration statement on Form S-3 or on such other
form as is then available under the Securities Act covering the Registrable
Securities; provided, however, that each holder of Registrable Securities
("Holder") shall provide all such information and materials to Acquiror and take
all such action as may be required in order to permit Acquiror to comply with
all applicable requirements of the SEC and to obtain any desired acceleration of
the effective date of such registration statement. Such provision of information
and materials is a condition precedent to the obligations of Acquiror pursuant
to this Section. Acquiror shall not be required to effect more than one (1)
registration under this Section. The offering made pursuant to such registration
shall not be underwritten.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.17(a), Acquiror shall be
entitled to postpone the declaration of effectiveness of the registration
statement prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5.17(a) for a reasonable period
of time, but not in excess of sixty (60) calendar days after the applicable
deadline, if the Board of Directors of Acquiror, acting in good faith,
determines that there exists material nonpublic information about Acquiror that
the Board of Directors does not wish to disclose in a registration statement,
which information would otherwise be required by the Securities Act to be
disclosed in the registration statement to be filed pursuant to Section 5.17(a)
above.
A-48
<PAGE> 225
(c) Subject to the limitations above, Acquiror shall (A)
prepare and file with the SEC the registration statement in accordance with
Section 5.17(a) hereof with respect to the shares of Registrable Securities and
shall use all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective as promptly as practicable after filing and to keep such registration
statement effective until one (1) year after the Effective Time; (B) prepare and
file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement
and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary, and to
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the sale or
other disposition of all securities proposed to be registered in such
registration statement until one (1) year after the Effective Time; (C) furnish
to each Holder such number of copies of any prospectus (including any
preliminary prospectus and any amended or supplemented prospectus) in conformity
with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents, as each
Holder may reasonably request in order to effect the offering and sale of the
shares of the Registrable Securities to be offered and sold, but only while
Acquiror shall be required under the provisions hereof to cause the registration
statement to remain current; and (D) use its commercially reasonable efforts to
register or qualify the shares of the Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement under the securities or blue sky laws of such
jurisdictions as each Holder shall reasonably request (provided that Acquiror
shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to
qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any
such jurisdiction where it has not been qualified).
(d) Acquiror shall notify each Holder, (A) when a prospectus
or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and,
with respect to the registration statement or any post-effective amendment, when
the same has become effective; (B) of any request by the SEC or any other
federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of
the registration statement for amendments or supplements to the registration
statement or related prospectus or for additional information relating to the
registration statement, (C) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or
state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of
the registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that
purpose, (D) of the receipt by Acquiror of any notification with respect to the
suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; or (E) of the happening of any
event which makes any statement made in the registration statement or related
prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference untrue in any material respect or which requires the making of any
changes in the registration statement or prospectus so that, in the case of the
registration statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of
the prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state any material fact or omit to state any material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Acquiror may, upon
the happening of any event of the kind described in clauses B, C, D, or E hereof
or, that, in the judgment of Acquiror's Board of Directors, renders it advisable
to suspend use of the prospectus for no more than forty-five (45) days in the
aggregate in any 12 month period of
A-49
<PAGE> 226
time due to pending corporate developments, public filings with the SEC or
similar events, suspend use of the prospectus on written notice to each Holder,
in which case each Holder shall discontinue disposition of Registrable
Securities covered by the registration statement or prospectus until copies of a
supplemented or amended prospectus are distributed to the Holders or until the
Holders are advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable
prospectus may be resumed. Acquiror shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure
that the use of the prospectus may be resumed as soon as practicable. Acquiror
shall use every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order
suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement, or the lifting of
any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of
the securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.
Acquiror shall, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by clause E above,
prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the registration statement
or a supplement to the related prospectus or any document incorporated therein
by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter
delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder,
such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading.
(e) Prior to the filing of a registration statement, Acquiror
and any Holder wishing to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to the
registration statement shall enter into an agreement containing customary
indemnification provisions with respect to misstatements or omissions of
material fact contained in the registration statement.
(f) Acquiror shall pay all of the out-of-pocket expenses
incurred, other than broker commissions or other similar fees, in connection
with any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 5.17,
including, without limitation, all SEC, NASD and blue sky registration and
filing fees, printing expenses, transfer agents' and registrars' fees, and the
reasonable fees and disbursements of Acquiror's outside counsel and independent
accountants.
5.18 Confidentiality. Each party hereto shall maintain the confidential
nature of, and shall not use in any way detrimental to any other party,
including directly or indirectly in the conduct of such party's business, all
confidential financial, technical, marketing, research, commercial or other
information concerning the other parties hereto. In the event of the termination
of this Agreement for any reason, upon written request of any party, each party
receiving such request agrees to return to the requesting party any and all
materials containing any such confidential information relating to such
requesting party. The restrictions contained herein and in any Schedules and
Exhibits hereto shall not apply to any information that (a) is or becomes
generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure in
violation of the provisions hereof, (b) is or becomes available to such party
that has received such request on a non-confidential basis from a source other
than the requesting party, (c) is independently derived by the party to whom
such information was disclosed, or (d) is derived from information that is not

that any party hereto receives a request to disclose all or any part of any
confidential information under the terms of a subpoena, order, civil
investigative demand or similar process issued by a court of competent
jurisdiction or by another Governmental Authority, such party
A-50
<PAGE> 227
agrees to: (i) immediately notify the party to whom such confidential
information relates of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such
request, (ii) consult with such party to whom the information relates on the
advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request
and (iii) if disclosure of such information is required, furnish only that
portion of the confidential information that, in the opinion of counsel to the
party who has received the request, such party is legally compelled to disclose
and advise the party to whom such confidential information relates as far in
advance of such disclosure as possible so that such party to whom the
confidential information relates may seek an appropriate protective order or
other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such
confidential information. In any event, the party who receives the request shall
not oppose actions by the party to whom the confidential information relates to
obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that
confidential treatment will be accorded such confidential information.

(a) (1) From and after the Effective Time, Acquiror and each
of its Affiliates, officers, employees, directors and representatives
(collectively, the "Acquiror Indemnitees") shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the shareholders of the Company, in accordance with this Article
VII, in respect of any and all Damages reasonably and proximately incurred by
any Acquiror Indemnitee as a result of any misrepresentation and/or breach of
any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company in this

shareholders may have.
(2) Acquiror shall also be indemnified in full from
the Escrow Fund for the portions of the Woolworth Receivable and the Edison

(b) From and after the Effective Time, the Company's

<PAGE> 232
(e) The amount of any indemnification payment required to be
made pursuant to Section 7.1(a) of this Agreement with respect to a particular
claim for indemnification shall be reduced by: (1) the after-tax amount of
insurance proceeds or recoveries from third parties actually received as a
result of the events giving rise to such claim; provided that if such proceeds
or recoveries will be (or are) received after the date on which such
indemnification payment is due, such indemnification payment shall be paid when
due from the Escrow Fund and, when such proceeds are received, the Acquiror
Indemnitees shall pay to the Securityholder Agent the amount of such proceeds
promptly following receipt, and (2) the amount of any tax savings actually
realized by the Acquiror Indemnitees prior to the receipt of such
indemnification payment, either in the form of a refund of taxes previously paid
or a reduction in tax that otherwise would have become payable prior to such
time (in each case net of the present value of any tax cost of the
indemnification payment and any costs (including but not limited to professional
fees) incurred in obtaining such savings). For purposes of this clause (2), tax
savings shall only be taken into account to the extent they are not otherwise
required to be paid to the Company Indemnitees and would not have arisen but for
the event giving rise to the indemnification obligation.
7.2. Escrow Arrangements.
(a) Escrow Fund. At the Effective Time, the Shareholders will
be deemed to have received and deposited with the Escrow Agent (as defined
below) the Escrow Amount (plus any additional shares as may be issued after the
Effective Time with respect to the shares constituting the Escrow Amount upon
any stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization effected by Acquiror after
the Effective Time) without any act of any such Shareholder. As soon as
practicable after the Effective Time, the Escrow Amount, without any act of any
Shareholder, will be deposited by Acquiror with State Street Bank and Trust
Company of California, N.A. (or other institution acceptable to Acquiror and the
Securityholder Agent (as defined in Section 7.3 below)) as Escrow Agent (the
"Escrow Agent"), such deposit to constitute an escrow fund (the "Escrow Fund")
to be governed by the terms set forth herein. The establishment and maintenance
of the Escrow Fund shall be at Acquiror's sole cost and expense. The Escrow Fund
shall be available to compensate Acquiror Indemnitees for any Damages incurred
by any Acquiror Indemnitee for which such indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification under Section 7.1. Nothing herein shall limit the Liability of
the Company for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant if the
Merger does not close. Except for breaches of Sections 5.3 and 5.18 and any
indemnification to which Acquiror may be entitled under Section 7.1(a)(2), with
respect to which the Basket (as defined below) shall not apply, the Acquiror
Indemnitees may not receive any shares from the Escrow Fund unless and until
Officer's Certificates (as defined in paragraph (d) below) identifying Damages,
the aggregate amount of which exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000)
(the "Basket"), have been delivered to the Escrow Agent as provided in paragraph
(e). If the aggregate amount of Damages for which indemnification is sought by
the Acquiror Indemnitees exceeds the Basket, such Acquiror Indemnitees may
recover from the Escrow Fund all of their Damages, including the amount of the
Basket.
(b) Escrow Period; Distribution upon Termination of Escrow
Periods. Subject to the following requirements, the Escrow Fund shall be in
existence immediately
A-56
<PAGE> 233
following the Effective Time and shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., California time,
on the Expiration Date (the "Escrow Period"); provided that the Escrow Period
shall not terminate with respect to such amount (or any portion thereof)
remaining in the Escrow Fund that is necessary in the reasonable judgment of
Acquiror, subject to subsequent arbitration of the matter in the manner provided
in Section 7.2(f) hereof, to satisfy any unsatisfied claims concerning facts and
circumstances existing prior to the termination of such Escrow Period specified
in any Officer's Certificate delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to termination
of such Escrow Period. As soon as all such claims have been resolved and written
notice of such resolution specified in an Officer's Certificate is received by
the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Shareholders the
remaining portion of the Escrow Fund not required to satisfy such claims.
Deliveries of Escrow Amounts to the Shareholders pursuant to this Section 7.2(b)
shall be made in proportion to their respective original deposits to the Escrow
Fund.
(c) Protection of Escrow Fund.
(i) The Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the
Escrow Fund during the Escrow Period, shall treat the Escrow Fund as a trust
fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and not as the property of
Acquiror and shall hold and dispose of the Escrow Fund only in accordance with
the terms hereof.
(ii) Any shares of Acquiror Common Stock or other
equity securities issued or distributed by Acquiror (including shares issued
upon a stock split) ("New Shares") in respect of Acquiror Common Stock in the
Escrow Fund that have not been released from the Escrow Fund shall be added to
the Escrow Fund and become a part thereof. New Shares issued in respect of
shares of Acquiror Common Stock that have been released from the Escrow Fund
shall not be added to the Escrow Fund but shall be distributed to the
recordholders thereof. Cash dividends on Acquiror Common Stock shall not be
added to the Escrow Fund but shall be distributed to the recordholders thereof.
(iii) Each shareholder shall have voting rights with
respect to the shares of Acquiror Common Stock deposited to the Escrow Fund by
or on behalf of such shareholder (and on any voting securities added to the
Escrow Fund in respect of such shares of Acquiror Common Stock) unless paid
pursuant to an indemnification claim.
(d) Claims Upon Escrow Fund.
(i) Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent at any time on
or before the last day of the Escrow Period of a certificate signed by any
officer of Acquiror (an "Officer's Certificate"): (A) stating that Acquiror has
paid or properly accrued or reasonably anticipates that it will have to pay or
accrue Damages, and (B) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of
Damages included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid or
properly accrued, or the basis for such anticipated Liability, and the nature of
the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or covenant to which such item is
related, the Escrow Agent shall, subject to the provisions of Section 7.2(e)
hereof, deliver to Acquiror out of the Escrow Fund, as promptly
A-57
<PAGE> 234
as practicable, shares of Acquiror Common Stock held in the Escrow Fund having a
value, determined in accordance with Section 7.2(d)(ii), equal to the amount of
such Damages.
(ii) For the purposes of determining the number of
shares of Acquiror Common Stock to be delivered to Acquiror out of the Escrow
Fund pursuant to Section 7.2(d)(i) hereof, the shares of Acquiror Common Stock
shall be valued at the unweighted arithmetic average of the daily closing prices
of Acquiror's Common Stock reported on the Nasdaq National Market for the ten
trading days on which Acquiror's Common Stock is traded immediately preceding
the Closing Date. Acquiror shall certify such value in an Officer's Certificate
and shall deliver such Officer's Certificate to the Escrow Agent and the
Securityholder Agent.
(e) Objections to Claims. At the time of delivery of any
Officer's Certificate to the Escrow Agent as described in Section 7.2(d)(i), a
duplicate copy of such Officer's Certificate shall be delivered to the
Securityholder Agent (as defined in Section 7.3), and for a period of thirty
(30) days after such delivery the Escrow Agent shall make no delivery to
Acquiror of any Escrow Amounts pursuant to Section 7.2(d) hereof unless the
Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from the Securityholder
Agent to make such delivery. After the expiration of such thirty (30) day
period, the Escrow Agent shall make delivery of shares of Acquiror Common Stock
from the Escrow Fund in accordance with Section 7.2(d) hereof, provided that no
such payment or delivery may be made if the Securityholder Agent shall object in
a written statement to the claim made in the Officer's Certificate, and such
statement shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the expiration
of such thirty (30) day period. The Securityholder Agent shall concurrently
deliver a copy of such written statement to Acquiror.
(f) Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration.
(i) In case the Securityholder Agent shall properly
object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Officer's Certificate, the
Securityholder Agent and Acquiror shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the
rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the
Securityholder Agent and Acquiror should so agree, a memorandum setting forth
such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and shall be
furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any
such memorandum and distribute shares of Acquiror Common Stock from the Escrow
Fund in accordance with the terms thereof.
(ii) If no such agreement can be reached after good
faith negotiation, either Acquiror or the Securityholder Agent may, by written
notice to the other (the "Demand"), demand arbitration of the matter unless the
amount of the Damages is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in
which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained
or both parties agree to arbitration; and in either such event the matter shall
be settled by arbitration conducted by three arbitrators. Acquiror and the
Securityholder Agent shall each select one arbitrator within fifteen (15)
Business Days following the Demand, and the two arbitrators so selected shall
select a third arbitrator within fifteen (15) Business Days thereafter, each of
which arbitrators shall be independent. In the event that either Acquiror or the
Securityholder Agent fails to appoint an arbitrator within the period
prescribed, or such
A-58
<PAGE> 235
appointed arbitrators fail to appoint the third arbitrator within the period
prescribed, any such arbitrators that have not been so appointed shall be
appointed by the American Arbitration Association following written request of
either Acquiror or the Securityholder Agent. The arbitrators shall set a limited
time period (not to exceed 90 days) and establish procedures designed to reduce
the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity,
adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrators, to discover relevant
information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute.
The arbitrators shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall
have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys fees and costs, to
the same extent as a competent court of law or equity, should the arbitrators
determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that
discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The
decision of a majority of the three arbitrators as to the validity and amount of
any claim in such Officer's Certificate shall be binding and conclusive upon the
parties to this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything in Section 7.2(e)
hereof, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act in accordance with such
decision and make or withhold payments out of the Escrow Fund in accordance
therewith. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written
findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment,
decree or order awarded by the arbitrators.
(iii) Judgment upon any award rendered by the
arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such
arbitration shall be held in Alameda County, California under the rules then in
effect of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. For purposes of
this Section 7.2(f), in any arbitration hereunder in which any claim or the
amount thereof stated in the Officer's Certificate is at issue, Acquiror shall
be deemed to be the Non-Prevailing Party in the event that the arbitrators award
Acquiror less than the sum of one-half (1/2) of the disputed amount; otherwise,
the Shareholders, as represented by the Securityholder Agent, shall be deemed to
be the "Non-Prevailing Party." The "Non-Prevailing Party" to an arbitration
shall pay its own expenses, the fees of each arbitrator, the administrative
costs of the arbitration, and the expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs, incurred by the other party to the arbitration.
(g) Escrow Agent's Duties.
(i) Acquiror and the Company acknowledge and agree
that the Escrow Agent (i) shall be obligated only for performance of such duties
as are specifically set forth in this Agreement; (ii) shall not be obligated to
take any legal or other action hereunder that might in its judgment involve any
expense or Liability unless it shall have been furnished with acceptable
indemnification; (iii) may rely on and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any written notice, instruction, instrument,
statement, request or document furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to
be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person, and shall
have no responsibility for determining the accuracy thereof, and (iv) may
consult counsel satisfactory to it, including house counsel, and the opinion of
such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect
of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in
accordance with the opinion of such counsel.
(ii) Neither the Escrow Agent nor any of its
directors, officers or employees shall be liable to anyone for any action taken
or omitted to be taken by it or any of its
A-59
<PAGE> 236
directors, officers or employees hereunder except in the case of gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Acquiror and the Shareholders, jointly and
severally, covenant and agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent and hold it harmless
without limitation from and against any loss, Liability or expense of any nature
incurred by the Escrow Agent arising out of or in connection with this Agreement
or with the administration of its duties hereunder, including but not limited to
legal fees and other costs and expenses of defending or preparing to defend
against any claim or Liability in the premises, unless such loss, Liability or
expense shall be caused by the Escrow Agent's willful misconduct or gross
negligence. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for indirect, punitive,
special or consequential damages.
(iii) Acquiror and the Shareholders, jointly and
severally, agree to assume any and all obligations imposed now or hereafter by
any applicable Tax law with respect to the payment of the Escrow Fund under this
Agreement, and to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against
any taxes, additions for late payment, interest, penalties and other expenses,
that may be assessed against the Escrow Agent on any such payment or other
activities under this Agreement. Acquiror and the Shareholders undertake to
instruct the Escrow Agent in writing with respect to the Escrow Agent's
responsibility for withholding and other taxes, assessments or other
governmental charges, certifications and governmental reporting in connection
with its acting as Escrow Agent under this Agreement. Acquiror and the
Shareholders, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold the Escrow
Agent harmless from any Liability on account of Taxes, assessments or other
governmental charges, including the withholding or deduction or the failure to
withhold or deduct same, and any Liability for failure to obtain proper
certifications or to properly report to Governmental Authorities, to which the
Escrow Agent may be or become subject in connection with or which arises out of
this Agreement, including costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees),
interest and penalties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no distributions will be
made unless the Escrow Agent is supplied with an original, signed W-9 form or
its equivalent prior to distribution.
(iv) The Escrow Agent shall have no more or less
responsibility or Liability on account of any action or omission of any
book-entry depository or subescrow agent employed by the Escrow Agent than any
such book-entry depository or subescrow agent has to the Escrow Agent, except to
the extent that such action or omission of any book-entry depository or
subescrow agent was caused by the Escrow Agent's own willful misconduct, gross
negligence or bad faith.
(v) Acquiror agrees to pay or reimburse the Escrow
Agent for any legal fees incurred in connection with the preparation of this
Agreement and to pay the Escrow Agent's reasonable compensation for its normal
services hereunder in accordance with Escrow Agent's standard charges, which may
be subject to change on an annual basis. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to
reimbursement on demand for all expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
the administration of the escrow created hereby which are in excess of its
compensation for normal services hereunder, including payment of any legal fees
incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with resolution of any claim by any
party hereunder.
(vi) The Escrow Agent may at any time resign as
Escrow Agent hereunder by giving thirty (30) days' prior written notice of
resignation to Acquiror and the
A-60
<PAGE> 237
Securityholder Agent. Prior to the effective date of the resignation as
specified in such notice, Acquiror will issue to the Escrow Agent a written
instruction authorizing redelivery of the Escrow Fund to a bank or trust company
that it selects subject to the reasonable consent of the Securityholder Agent.
Such bank or trust company shall have capital, surplus and undivided profits in
excess of $50,000,000. If, however, Acquiror shall fail to name such a successor
agent within forty-five (45) days after the notice of resignation from the
Escrow Agent, the Securityholder Agent shall be entitled to name such successor
Escrow Agent. If no successor Escrow Agent is named by Acquiror or the
Securityholder Agent, the Escrow Agent may apply to a court of competent
jurisdiction for appointment of a successor Escrow Agent. The provisions of
paragraphs 7.2(j)(i) and (ii) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
7.3. Securityholder Agent.
(a) Securityholder Agent of the Shareholders; Power of
Attorney.
(i) Richard White shall serve as the initial agent
and attorney-in-fact (the "Securityholder Agent") for the shareholders to give
and receive notices and communications, to authorize delivery to Acquiror of
shares of Acquiror Common Stock from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims
by Acquiror, to object to such deliveries, to agree to, negotiate, enter into
settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of
courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims, and to take all
actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of Securityholder Agent for the
accomplishment of the foregoing. Such agency may be changed from time to time by
shareholders holding beneficial interests in the majority of the shares
comprising the Escrow Fund upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written
notice to Acquiror and the Escrow Agent. Any vacancy in the position of
Securityholder Agent may be filled by approval of shareholders holding
beneficial interests in the majority of the shares comprising the Escrow Fund.
No bond shall be required of the Securityholder Agent, and the Securityholder
Agent shall not receive compensation for his or her services. Notices or
communications to or from the Securityholder Agent shall constitute notice to or
from each of the shareholders.
(ii) The Securityholder Agent shall not be liable
for any act done or omitted hereunder as Securityholder Agent while acting in
good faith. The shareholders on whose behalf the Escrow Amount was deposited to
the Escrow Fund shall severally indemnify the Securityholder Agent and hold the
Securityholder Agent harmless against any loss, Liability or expense incurred
without bad faith on the part of the Securityholder Agent and arising out of or
in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Securityholder
Agent's duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any
legal counsel retained by the Securityholder Agent.
(b) Actions of the Securityholder Agent. A decision, act,
consent or instruction of the Securityholder Agent shall constitute a decision,
act, consent or instruction on behalf of all the shareholders and shall be
final, binding and conclusive upon each shareholder, and the Escrow Agent and
Acquiror may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the
Securityholder Agent as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of every
such shareholder. The Escrow Agent and Acquiror are hereby relieved
A-61
<PAGE> 238
from any Liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with
such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholder Agent.
(c) Third-Party Claims. If Acquiror becomes aware of a
third-party claim that Acquiror believes, in good faith, may result in a demand
by it against the Escrow Fund, Acquiror shall notify the Securityholder Agent of
such claim, and the Securityholder Agent, as representative for the
shareholders, shall be entitled to participate in any defense of such claim. The
reasonable costs of the defense of any third party action or claim incurred by
Acquiror and the Securityholder Agent shall be paid from the Escrow Fund.
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Acquiror shall conduct such
defense but shall not settle any such claim without the consent of the
Securityholder Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided,
however, that, if the consent of the Securityholder Agent is so obtained, such
settlement of that portion of any such claim shall alone be determinative of the
amount of the claim against the Escrow Fund, and neither the Securityholder
Agent nor any person who has a beneficial interest in the Escrow Fund shall have
any power or authority to object under any provision of this Article VII to the
amount of any demand by Acquiror against the Escrow Fund with respect to such
settlement.
7.4. Exclusive Remedy. This Article VII sets forth the exclusive remedy
of the Acquiror Indemnitees and the Company Indemnitees from and after the
Effective Time for claims of breach of any representation or warranty in this
Agreement, other than claims arising out of actual fraud or intentional
misrepresentation.
ARTICLE VIII

8.1. Termination. Except as provided in Section 8.2 below, this
Agreement may be terminated and the Merger abandoned at any time prior to the
Effective Time:
(a) by mutual written consent of the Company and Acquiror;
(b) by Acquiror or the Company if: (i) the Closing has not
occurred by October 31, 1998 (provided that the right to terminate this
Agreement under this clause 8.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any party whose
failure to fulfill any obligation hereunder has been the cause of, or resulted
in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date); (ii) there
shall be a final nonappealable order of a federal or state court in effect
preventing consummation of the Merger; or (iii) there shall be any statute,
rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed applicable to
the Merger by any Governmental Authority that would make consummation of the
Merger illegal;
(c) by Acquiror if there shall be any action taken, or any
statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed
applicable to the Merger, by any Governmental Authority that would: (i) prohibit
Acquiror's or the Company's ownership or operation of any material portion of
the business of the Company or (ii) compel Acquiror or
A-62
<PAGE> 239
the Company to dispose of or hold separate, as a result of the Merger, any
material portion of the business or assets of the Company or Acquiror;
(d) by Acquiror if it is not in material breach of its
obligations under this Agreement and there has been a material breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on
the part of the Company and as a result of such breach the conditions set forth
in Section 6.3(a) or 6.3(b), as the case may be, would not then be satisfied;
provided, however, that if such breach is curable by the Company within thirty
(30) days through the exercise of its commercially reasonable efforts, then for
so long as the Company continues to exercise such commercially reasonable
efforts Acquiror may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(d)
unless such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days (but no cure period
shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured);
(e) by the Company if it is not in material breach of its
obligations under this Agreement and there has been a material breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on
the part of Acquiror and as a result of such breach the conditions set forth in
Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b), as the case may be, would not then be satisfied;
provided, however, that if such breach is curable by Acquiror within thirty (30)
days through the exercise of its commercially reasonable efforts, then for so
long as Acquiror continues to exercise such commercially reasonable efforts the
Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(e) unless such
breach is not cured within thirty (30) days (but no cure period shall be
required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured); and
(f) by Acquiror, in its sole and absolute discretion, if the
conditions set forth in Section 6.3(i) hereof are not satisfied.
8.2. Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this
Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void
and there shall be no Liability or obligation on the part of Acquiror or the
Company, or their respective officers, directors or shareholders under this
Agreement, provided that each party hereto shall remain liable for any Damages
arising out of any breaches of this Agreement prior to such termination or for
the wrongful termination of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, to the extent that any such termination results from the breach
by any party hereto of any of its representations, warranties, or covenants set
forth in this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to receive
from the breaching party all of its Third Party Expenses, any expenses incurred
in connection with any dispute arising from such willful breach and any other
Damages incurred as a result of such breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
provisions of Section 5.3, 5.20 and Article IX of this Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement (but the
arbitration provisions of Article VII shall not).
8.3. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at
any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of
the parties hereto. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, no party to this Agreement shall be required to enter into any
amendment, consent, waiver or modification of this
A-63
<PAGE> 240
Agreement in order to preserve the pooling of interests accounting treatment, or
the tax free nature, of the Merger, and each party reserves the right to approve
or disapprove any proposed amendment, consent, waiver or modification of this
Agreement in its sole and absolute discretion.
8.4. Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time,
Acquiror, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other, may, to the extent
legally allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the
obligations of the other party hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the
representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any
document delivered pursuant hereto, and (iii) waive compliance with any of the
agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any
agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be
valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such
party.

when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words
"without limitation." The word "agreement" when used herein shall be deemed in
each case to mean any contract, commitment or other agreement, whether oral or

9.4. Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement, the schedules and
exhibits hereto, and the documents and instruments and other agreements among
the parties hereto referenced herein: (a) constitute the entire agreement among
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior
agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with

to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquiror.
9.5. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement,
or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this
Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such
provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably
to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace
such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and
enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic,
business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.
9.6. Other Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all
remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with

9.7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of California, regardless of the laws
that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws
thereof. Each of the parties hereto agrees that process may be served upon them

and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection that they might
otherwise have to such jurisdiction and such process.
9.8. Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have
been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this
Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding
or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other
document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or
document.
9.9. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable
damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement

INTREPID SYSTEMS, INC.
AFFILIATE AGREEMENT
This INTREPID SYSTEMS, INC. AFFILIATE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made
and entered into as of June 3, 1998, between PeopleSoft, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Acquiror"), and the undersigned affiliate ("Affiliate") of
Intrepid Systems, Inc., a California corporation (the "Company"). Capitalized
terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in
the Merger Agreement (as defined below).
WHEREAS, Acquiror, the Company and certain shareholders of the Company
are concurrently herewith entering into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
("Merger Agreement") pursuant to which Acquiror would acquire the Company
through the statutory merger of the Company with and into Acquiror (the
"Merger"), and all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Company ("Company Capital Stock") would be converted into the right to receive
shares of Acquiror Capital Stock (the "Shares");
WHEREAS, Affiliate would receive a portion of the Shares;
WHEREAS, it is anticipated by the parties to the Merger Agreement that
the Merger will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code");
WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Affiliate is a
material inducement to Acquiror to enter into the Merger Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Affiliate has been advised that Affiliate may be deemed to be
an "affiliate" of the Company, as the term "affiliate" is used: (i) for purposes
of paragraphs (c) and (d) of Rule 145 of the Rules and Regulations (the "Rules
and Regulations") of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"); and (ii)
in the Commission's Accounting Series Releases 130 and 135, as amended, although
nothing contained herein shall be construed as an admission by Affiliate that
Affiliate is in fact an "affiliate" of the Company.
NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, the parties hereby agree
as follows:
1. Acknowledgments by Affiliate.
(a) Affiliate acknowledges and understands that the
representations, warranties and covenants by Affiliate set forth herein will be
relied upon by Acquiror, the Company, and their respective affiliates (as
defined in Rule 145 of the Rules and Regulations), counsel and accounting firms,
and that substantial Damages may be incurred by these persons if Affiliate's
representations, warranties or covenants are breached. Affiliate has carefully
read this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and has discussed the requirements
of this Agreement
A-74
<PAGE> 252
with Affiliate's professional advisors, who are qualified to advise Affiliate
with regard to such matters.
(b) Affiliate acknowledges and understands that, pursuant to
the Merger Agreement, promptly following the Effective Time, Acquiror shall
distribute Shares to the Company's shareholders pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, and, after the Closing, as provided in the Merger Agreement the
Escrow Agent may distribute to the Company's shareholders the Shares previously
contributed to the Escrow Fund.
2. Compliance with Rule 145 and the Act.
(a) Affiliate acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to
discuss the business, affairs and current prospects of Acquiror with Acquiror's
officers. Affiliate further acknowledges having had access to information about
Acquiror that it has requested and has received copies of all reports and
registration statements filed by Acquiror with the Commission for all periods
subsequent to January 1, 1997. Affiliate has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters that Affiliate is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of the acquisition of the Shares and the other transactions
contemplated by the Merger. Affiliate acknowledges that Affiliate has the
ability to bear the economic risks of its investment in Acquiror pursuant to the
Merger.
(b) The Shares will be acquired for Affiliate's own account,
not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to or in connection with the sale
or distribution of any part thereof.
(c) Affiliate has been advised that (i) the issuance of shares
of Acquiror Capital Stock in connection with the Merger is expected to be
effected pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 under the Act and as
such are not expected to be deemed "restricted securities" within the meaning of
Rule 144 promulgated thereunder and resale of such shares will not be subject to
any restrictions other than as set forth in Rule 145 of the Act unless otherwise
transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or an
appropriate exemption from registration, (ii) Affiliate may be deemed to be an
affiliate of the Company, (iii) no sale, transfer or other disposition by
Affiliate of any Acquiror Capital Stock received by Affiliate will be registered
under the Act. Affiliate accordingly agrees not to sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of any Acquiror Capital Stock issued to Affiliate in the Merger unless
(i) such sale, transfer or other disposition is made in conformity with the
requirements of Rule 145(d) promulgated under the Act, or (ii) Affiliate
delivers to Acquiror a written opinion of counsel, reasonably acceptable to
Acquiror in form and substance, that such sale, transfer or other disposition is
otherwise exempt from registration under the Act.
(d) Acquiror will give stop transfer instructions to its
transfer agent with respect to any Acquiror Capital Stock received by Affiliate
pursuant to the Merger, and a legend will be placed on the certificates
representing such Acquiror Capital Stock, or any substitutions therefor, stating
in substance:
"The shares represented by this certificate were issued in a
transaction to which Rule 145 applies and may only be transferred in
conformity with Rule 145(d) or in
A-75
<PAGE> 253
accordance with a written opinion of counsel, reasonably acceptable to
the issuer in form and substance, that such transfer is exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933."
The legend set forth above shall be removed (by delivery of a
substitute certificate without such legend) and Acquiror shall so instruct its
transfer agent, if Affiliate delivers to Acquiror (i) satisfactory written
evidence that the shares have been sold in compliance with Rule 145 (in which
case, the substitute certificate will be issued in the name of the transferee),
or (ii) an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Acquiror, to the effect that public sale of the shares by the holder thereof is
no longer subject to Rule 145.
3. Covenants Related to Pooling of Interests. During the period
beginning from the earlier of the date hereof or 30 days prior to the Effective
Time of the Merger and ending on the second complete day after the day that
Acquiror publicly announces financial results covering at least 30 days of
combined operations of Acquiror and the Company, Affiliate will not sell,
exchange, transfer, pledge, distribute, or otherwise dispose of or grant any
option, establish any "short" or put-equivalent position with respect to, or
enter into any similar transaction (through derivatives or otherwise) intended
or having the effect, directly or indirectly, of reducing its risk relative to
any Acquiror Common Stock received by Affiliate in connection with the Merger.
Acquiror may, at its discretion, cause a restrictive legend to the foregoing
effect to be placed on Acquiror Capital Stock certificates issued to Affiliate
in the Merger and place a stock transfer notice consistent with the foregoing
with its transfer agent with respect to the certificates. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Affiliate will not be prohibited by the foregoing from selling or
disposing of shares so long as such sale or disposition is in accordance with
the "de minimis" test set forth in Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 76
and so long as Affiliate has obtained Acquiror's prior written approval for such
sale or disposition.
4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants Related to Tax Effects of
the Merger. Affiliate's intention is to treat the Merger as a "reorganization"
described in Section 368 of the Code. One condition to the qualification of the
Merger as a reorganization is that, in substance, a substantial part of the
proprietary interests in the Company be preserved in the transaction. In
connection therewith, Affiliate hereby represents, warrants and covenants to
Acquiror and the Company as follows:
(a) Affiliate is the beneficial owner of the number of shares
of Company Capital Stock (including shares issuable upon exercise of stock
options) listed next to Affiliate's signature on the signature page hereto.
These shares represent Affiliate's entire interest in the outstanding capital
stock of the Company. The undersigned is not a "related person," within the
meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-1(e), with respect to the Company.
(b) Affiliate has no plan or intention to, and will not,
directly or indirectly, engage in a transaction that could result in a violation
of the "continuity of business enterprise" requirement set forth in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.368-1(d) or the "continuity of interest" requirement set
forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-1(e) and Temporary Treasury
Regulation Section 1.368-1T(e)(1)(ii) with respect to the Merger.
A-76
<PAGE> 254
(c) Affiliate has not taken, [and to the best of Affiliate's
knowledge the Company has not taken,][bracketed material to be used in all
Affiliate Agreements executed by Affiliates who are officers or directors] any
actions inconsistent with the treatment of the Merger as a "reorganization"
within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. Affiliate has been informed and
has had the opportunity to discuss with Affiliate's financial and legal advisors
the requirements for treatment of the Merger as a "reorganization" within the
meaning of Section 368 of the Code. Unless otherwise required by the Merger
Agreement, Affiliate does not intend to take a position on any federal or state
income tax return that is inconsistent with the treatment of the Merger as a
"reorganization" for federal and state income tax purposes.
(d) The representations contained herein shall be true and
correct at all times from the date hereof until the closing of the consummation
of the Merger. Affiliate agrees promptly to notify Acquiror and the Company
prior to the Merger if at any time after the date hereof and prior to the
closing of the Merger Affiliate would no longer be able to make the
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein.
(e) Affiliate has full power and authority to execute this
Agreement, to make the representations, warranties and covenants herein
contained and to perform Affiliate's obligations hereunder.
5. Miscellaneous.
(a) For the convenience of the parties hereto, this Agreement
may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but
all of which together shall constitute one and the same document.
(b) This Agreement shall be enforceable by, and shall inure to
the benefit of and be binding upon, the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. As used herein, the term "successors and assigns" shall
mean, where the context so permits, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees
and successor trustees, and personal and other representatives.
(c) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed,
interpreted and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
California, regardless of laws that might otherwise govern under applicable
principles of conflicts of laws thereof.
(d) If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any
provision of this Agreement is not enforceable or enforceable only if limited in
time and/or scope, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with
such provision stricken or so limited.
(e) Counsel to and accountants for the parties to this
Agreement shall be entitled to rely upon this Agreement as needed.
(f) This Agreement shall not be modified or amended, or any
right hereunder waived or any obligation excused, except by a written agreement
signed by both parties.

further force and effect upon the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant
to Article VIII thereof.
A-77

3. To our knowledge, Acquiror is not in violation of any term of its
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. Neither the execution, delivery and
performance of the Merger Agreement nor the consummation by Acquiror of the
transactions contemplated thereby will result in any such violation, violate any
Applicable Law of the United States or the State of California, or constitute a
default under the provisions of any judgment, writ, decree or order of which we
are aware applicable to, or binding upon, Acquiror.
4. The Certificate of Merger is in proper form for filing with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Upon the due and proper filing of

5. To our knowledge, there are no actions, proceedings or
investigations pending or overtly threatened against Acquiror before any court
or administrative agency that question the validity of the Merger Agreement or
that could reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the
aggregate, in a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities,
results of operations, cash flows or prospects of Acquiror.
6. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.1(e) of the Merger Agreement, no
consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing
with,or notice to, any Governmental Authority is required on the part of

Exhibit D
NON-COMPETITION, NON-SOLICITATION AND NON-HIRE AGREEMENT
This Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Non-Hire Agreement
("Agreement") is entered into by and between PeopleSoft, Inc. (the "Company")
and ____________ ("Employee") as of June 3, 1998.
RECITALS

"Merger Agreement") dated as of June 3, 1998, by and among the Company, Intrepid
Systems, Inc. ("Intrepid"), the Escrow Agent (as defined in the Merger
Agreement) and the Securityholder Agent (as defined in the Merger Agreement),
Intrepid will merge with and into the Company (the "Merger"), and any shares of
Intrepid capital stock owned by Employee will be exchanged for Company common
stock, and any options to acquire Intrepid common stock will be assumed by the
Company and become options to acquire Company common stock, all in accordance
with the Merger Agreement;
B. Employee owns an equity interest in Intrepid (whether through
outstanding capital stock or options to purchase Intrepid common stock), has
served as the __________________ at Intrepid and has gained substantial
knowledge and expertise in connection with Intrepid's products, organization and
customers;
C. The Company and Employee acknowledge that it would be detrimental to
the Company if Employee competes with the Company following the Merger;
D. The Company and Intrepid are engaged in the design, development,
manufacture, marketing, distribution, production, sale, servicing and licensing

related thereto (the "Business");

NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
A-87
<PAGE> 265
ARTICLE I
Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Non-Hire
I.1 Non-Competition.
(a) The parties understand and agree that this Agreement is
entered into in connection with the Merger. The parties further understand and
agree that Employee is a key and significant member of Intrepid, owns or has the
right to acquire shares of capital stock of Intrepid, and that the Merger is
contingent upon Employee entering into this Agreement, including this
non-competition provision. In addition, the parties understand that prior to the
Merger, Intrepid was engaged in the Business in each of the fifty states of the
United States and in the United Kingdom. The parties further understand that the
Company is currently engaged in the Business in each of the fifty states of the
United States and in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, The
Netherlands, Japan, Singapore and the United Kingdom (such states and countries
are hereafter referred to as the "Geographic Scope of the Business"). Employee
further acknowledges that the Company following the Merger will continue
conducting the Business in all parts of the Geographic Scope of the Business.
(b) During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending
[TWO (2) YEARS][ONE (1) YEAR] after the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger
Agreement) (the "Term"), without the prior written consent of the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly,
whether as an individual, or as an employee, agent, consultant, advisor,
independent contractor, general partner, limited partner, officer, director,
shareholder or investor of any person, firm, corporation, partnership or other
entity, or otherwise:
(i) participate or engage in the design,
development, manufacture, marketing, distribution, production, sale, servicing
or licensing of any product, or the provision of any service, that directly or
indirectly competes with Intrepid's or the Company's Products (for purposes
hereof, "Products" shall mean the products owned or under development by
Intrepid or the Company as of the Closing Date, any products based upon
Intrepid's or the Company's Intellectual Property Assets (as defined in the
Merger Agreement), or any products developed at any time from the Closing Date
through the date when Employee ceases to be employed by the Company); or
(ii) permit the name of Employee to be used in
connection with a company, entity or enterprise engaged in the Business.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee may own, directly or
indirectly, solely as passive investment, up to 4.9% of any class of "publicly
traded securities" of any company or entity engaged in the Business. For the
purposes of this Section I.1, the term "publicly traded securities" means
securities that are traded on a national securities exchange or listed on the
Nasdaq National Market, and the term "passive investment" shall include an
investment
A-88
<PAGE> 266
through a mutual fund, limited partnership or other investment vehicle that is
engaged in the business of portfolio investments.
I.2 Non-Solicitation and Non-Hire. Employee agrees that during the
Term, without the prior written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, Employee will not directly or indirectly hire, recruit or solicit any
person or entity who, as of the date of such recruitment or solicitation, was an
employee or consultant of the Company or was an employee of Intrepid less than
one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date of this Agreement, or otherwise
encourage any such person or entity to terminate or curtail its employment or
consulting relationship with the Company.
I.3 Non-Solicitation of/Non-Interference with Customers. Employee
agrees that during the Term, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly,
solicit, induce or attempt to induce any then current or prospective customer or
supplier of Intrepid or the Company to cease doing business in whole or in part
with Intrepid or the Company with respect to any aspect of the Business.
I.4 Savings Clause. The non-competition, non-solicitation and non-hire
provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to consist of a series of separate
covenants, one for each line of business carried on by the Business and each
geographic region within the Geographic Scope of Business. The parties expressly
agree that the character, duration of such provisions in this Agreement and the
Geographic Scope of Business are reasonable in light of the circumstances as
they exist on the date upon which this Agreement has been executed and that such
provisions are permissible and enforceable pursuant to the provisions of
applicable law. However, should a determination nonetheless be made by a court
of competent jurisdiction at a later date that the character, duration or
geographical scope of such provisions is unreasonable in light of the
circumstances as they then exist, then it is the intention and the agreement of
Employee and the Company that such non-competition, non-solicitation and
non-hire provisions of this Agreement be construed by the court in such a manner
as to impose only those restrictions on the conduct of Employee that are
reasonable in light of the circumstances as they then exist and as are necessary
to assure the Company of the intended benefits of this Agreement. If, in any
judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce all of the separate
covenants deemed included herein because, taken together they are more extensive
than necessary to assure the Company of the intended benefit of such
non-competition and non-solicitation provisions, it is expressly understood and
agreed between the parties hereto that those of such covenants that, if
eliminated, would permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced in such
proceeding shall, for the purpose of such proceeding, be deemed eliminated from
the provisions hereof.
I.5. Injunctive Relief. The remedy at law for any breach of this
Agreement is and will be inadequate, and in the event of a breach or threatened
breach by Employee of any provision of this Agreement(including, without
limitation, any of the provisions of Section I.1, I.2 or I.3), the Company shall
be entitled to an injunction restraining Employee from violating any such
provision. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting the
Company from pursuing damages or any other remedies available to it or them for
such breach or threatened breach.

ARTICLE II
Non-Competition Payments
II.1 Non-Competition Payments.
(a) Voluntary Resignation, Death, Disability or Termination
for Cause. If Employee's employment terminates by reason of Employee's voluntary
resignation (and is not an Involuntary Termination (as defined below), other
than termination for Cause (as defined below)), death or Disability (as defined
below), or if Employee is terminated for Cause (as defined below), then Employee
shall continue to be bound by the terms of this Agreement for the remainder of
the Term, including, without limitation, Sections I.1, I.2 and I.3 hereof, and
Employee shall not be entitled to receive any severance or other payment, or any
benefits, except for those (if any) as may then be established under the
Company's (or if such termination occurs prior to the Closing Date, Intrepid's)
then existing severance and benefits plans and policies at the time of such
termination; provided, however, that in the event of a termination of employment
under this Section II.1(a) due to Disability, the obligations set forth in
Sections I.1, I.2 and I.3 of this Agreement shall only continue to apply if the
Company: (1) makes the severance payments set forth on Section A of Schedule I
hereto[ONE-MONTH FOR WHITE & KELLYS/OTHER AMOUNTS AS DESCRIBED FOR
HARBAUGH/KUNKLE], and [FOR HARBAUGH & KUNKLE ONLY](2) accelerates the vesting of
the options described on Section B of Schedule I hereto (the "Options").
(b) Involuntary Termination. If Employee's employment is
terminated as a result of Involuntary Termination other than for "Cause" (as
defined below), then (a) the Company shall provide severance payments set forth
on Section A of Schedule I hereto and (b) [FOR HARBAUGH AND KUNKLE ONLY][the
Options shall accelerate in accordance with Intrepid's 1992 Stock Option Plan
and (c) ]Employee shall continue to be bound by the terms of this Agreement for
the remainder of the Term, including, without limitation, Sections I.1, I.2 and
I.3 hereof, but only if the Company (1) continues to pay Employee his Annual
Salary (as defined below), such payment to be made in installments consistent
with the Company's normal payroll practices on the Termination Date (the
"Continuation Payment"), and continues to provide the medical benefits to
Employee that are being provided by the Company to Employee on the Termination
Date, in both the case of the Continuation Payment and such benefits, for the
remainder of the Term (subject to any decrease contemplated by the penultimate
sentence of this Clause (b)); provided, however, that (i) upon the expiration of
[WHITE & KELLYS ONLY]ninety (90) [HARBAUGH & KUNKLE ONLY]thirty (30) days
following written notice from the Company to Employee stating that the Company
is releasing Employee from his obligations set forth in Sections I.1, I.2 and
I.3 of this Agreement, then the Company's obligation to make the Continuation
Payment and provide the medical benefits described above shall cease. If
Employee accepts employment with, or is otherwise engaged to provide services
to, any other person, entity or organization during the Term, whether as an
employee, consultant, advisor or similar capacity, the Continuation Payment
shall be reduced by the amount of compensation earned by Employee in such
capacity, and the Company shall
A-90
<PAGE> 268
no longer be obligated to provide any such medical benefits if substantially
similar benefits are provided by Employee's new employer. The Company shall not
be obligated, and Employee shall not be entitled, to any other severance or
other payment, or any benefits, except as expressly described above in this
Clause (b), in the event Employee's employment is terminated in the
circumstances described above in this Clause (b).
(c) Execution of Waiver. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of Section II.1(a) and (b) or otherwise, the Company shall not be
obligated to make any severance or continuation payments or provide any benefits
under such sections, and Employee shall not be entitled to any such payments or
benefits, until Employee executes and delivers to the Company a waiver and
release of claims in substantially the same form as the Company typically
requires in exchange for any such similar payments or benefits made to
terminated employees. In the event that Employee shall fail to execute and
deliver such waiver and release, Employee shall continue to be bound by the
restrictions in Section II.1(a) or (b), as the case may be, as if the Company
had made the payments and provided the benefits contemplated by such section.
II.2 Definition of Terms. The following terms referred to in this
Agreement shall have the following meanings:
(a) Annual Salary. "Annual Salary" as used herein means the
base annual salary for Employee in effect as of the Termination Date. By way of
clarification, in the event that (1) Employee shall not continue as an employee
of the Company upon consummation of the Merger for any reason, the "Annual
Salary" of Employee shall be Employee's base annual salary with Intrepid on the
date hereof, and (2) Employee shall not continue as an employee of the Company
after consummation of the Merger, the "Annual Salary" of Employee shall be
Employee's base annual salary with the Company on the Termination Date.
(b) Cause. "Cause" as used herein means (i) habitual or
repeated failure to perform reasonably assigned duties after Employee has
received written demand for performance which includes reasonable detail
describing non-performance (provided that as long as Employee is performing such
duties at a level of performance at least comparable to the level of performance
by Employee as an employee prior to the Merger, Employee shall not be deemed to
have "failed to perform" for purposes of this clause); (ii) engagement in gross
misconduct that is injurious to the Company; (iii) commission of a felony (other
than motor vehicle related felonies) or an act of fraud relating to the Company;
or (iv) Employee's breach of any confidentiality or proprietary information
agreement between Employee and the Company.
(c) Disability. "Disability" means that Employee has been
unable to perform his duties under this Agreement as the result of his
incapacity due to physical or mental illness, and such inability, at least 26
weeks after its commencement, is determined to be total and permanent by a
physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to Employee or
Employee's legal representative (such agreement as to acceptability not to be
A-91
<PAGE> 269
unreasonably withheld). Termination resulting from Disability may only be
effected after at least 30 days' written notice by the Company of its intention
to terminate Employee's employment. In the event that Employee resumes the
performance of substantially all of his duties hereunder before the termination
of his employment becomes effective, the notice of intent to terminate shall
automatically be deemed to have been revoked.
(d) Involuntary Termination. "Involuntary Termination" means
(i) termination by the Company other than for Cause, death or Disability; (ii)
after the Closing Date and Employee's becoming an employee of the Company on the
terms and conditions offered by the Company, without Employee's express written
consent, the assignment to Employee of any duties or the reduction of Employee's
duties, either of which results in a significant diminution in Employee's
position or responsibilities as so offered by the Company, or the removal of
Employee from any such positions or responsibilities; (iii) after the Closing
Date and Employee's becoming an employee of the Company on the terms and
conditions offered by the Company, a reduction by the Company in the total
compensation of Employee as so offered by the Company or as the same may be
increased from time to time by the Company in its sole discretion, except for
across-the-board total compensation reductions similarly affecting all senior
executives of the Company; (iv) a failure by the Company, without Employee's
consent, to pay Employee any portion of Employee's current compensation or to
pay to Employee any portion of an installment of deferred compensation under any
deferred compensation program of the Company, within seven days of notice from
Employee that such compensation is due; (v) after the Closing Date and
Employee's becoming an employee of the Company on the terms and conditions
offered by the Company, a material reduction by the Company in the kind or level
of employee benefits to which Employee is entitled immediately prior to such
reduction with the result that Employee's overall benefits package is
significantly reduced; (vi) the relocation of Employee to a facility or a
location more than 50 miles from the Company's Pleasanton, California
facility[JIM KELLY - CINCINNATI, OHIO], without Employee's express written
consent; and [HARBAUGH & KUNKLE ONLY](vii) the failure by the Company to offer
employment to Employee with the Company on or prior to the Effective Time that
provides for (1) an amount of aggregate annual cash compensation that is
substantially the same as the amount of aggregate annual cash compensation that
Employee received for services performed for Intrepid for the year ended
December 31, 1997 (provided that the relative proportions of such aggregate
annual cash compensation that are in the form of base salary and bonus need not
be the same), and (2) a position and responsibilities substantially similar to
the position and responsibilities that Employee currently has with Intrepid
[WHITE & KELLYS ONLY](vii) the failure by the Company to offer employment to
Employee with the Company on or prior to the Effective Time that provides for an
amount of aggregate annual cash compensation that is substantially the same as
the amount of aggregate annual cash compensation that Employee would have
received for services performed for Intrepid for the year ended December 31,
1998 (including any guaranteed bonus) (provided that the relative proportions of
such aggregate annual cash compensation that are in the form of base salary and
bonus need not be the same).
(e) Termination Date. "Termination Date" means (i) if this
Agreement is terminated by the Company for Disability, thirty (30) days after
notice of termination is given
A-92
<PAGE> 270
to Employee (provided that Employee shall not have returned to the performance
of Employee's duties on a full-time basis during such thirty (30) day period),
(ii) if Employee's employment is terminated by the Company for any other reason,
the date on which a notice of termination is given, unless otherwise specified
in such notice, or (iii) if the Agreement is terminated by Employee, the date on
which Employee delivers the notice of termination to the Company.
(f) Employment at Will. [Except as set forth in the Employment
Agreement (the "Employment Agreement") between [Jim Kelley][Brian Kelley] and
Intrepid,] Employee understands that any continued employment by the Company
subsequent to the Closing Date will be at will employment, with either party
having the right to terminate the employment relationship with or without cause.
Employee acknowledges that such at will employment is consistent with the
employment policy of both Intrepid and the Company, and that [except as set
forth in the Employment Agreement,] he is, and has been, an at will employee of
Intrepid. As a condition of employment with the Company, Employee will be
required to agree to the Company's standard offer letter terms and the various
related documents, including a proprietary information agreement, third party
information agreement, arbitration agreement and other associated administrative
documents.

INFORMATION AGREEMENT
As an employee of PeopleSoft, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") or

compensation now and hereafter paid to me, I agree to the following:
1. MAINTAINING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
A. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. I agree at all times during the term of my
employment and thereafter to hold in strictest confidence, and not to
use, except for the benefit of the Company, or to divulge or disclose,
directly or indirectly, to any person, corporation or other entity
without written authorization of an officer of the Company designated

business plans, financial information or other subject matter
pertaining to any business of the Company or any of its business
partners, clients, consultants or licensees (collectively referred to
as "Confidential Information").
B. FORMER EMPLOYER INFORMATION. I agree that I will not, during my
employment with the Company, improperly use or disclose any
proprietary information or trade secrets of my former or concurrent
employers or companies, if any, and that I will not bring onto the
premises of the Company any unpublished document or any property
belonging to my former of concurrent employers or companies, if any,
unless consented to in writing by said employers or companies.
C. THIRD PARTY INFORMATION. I recognize that the Company has received and
in the future will receive from third parties their confidential or
proprietary information subject to a duty on the Company's part to
maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only
for certain limited purposes. I agree that I owe the Company and such
third parties, during the term of my employment and thereafter, a duty
to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the
strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or
corporation (except as necessary in carrying out my work for the
Company consistent with the Company's agreement with such third party)
or to use it for the benefit of anyone other than for the Company or
such third party (consistent with the Company's agreement with such
third party) without the express written authorization of an officer
of the Company designated by the Company to give such authorization.
2. RETAINING AND ASSIGNING INVENTIONS AND ORIGINAL WORKS
A. INVENTIONS AND ORIGINAL WORKS RETAINED BY ME. I have attached hereto,
as Exhibit A, a list describing all inventions, original works of
authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets which were
made by me prior to my employment with the Company, which belong to
me, which relate to the Company's
A-96
<PAGE> 274
proposed business and products, and which are not assigned to the
Company; or, if no such list is attached, I represent that there are
no such inventions.
B. INVENTIONS AND ORIGINAL WORKS ASSIGNED TO THE COMPANY. I agree that I
will promptly make full written disclosure to the Company, will hold
in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company, and hereby
assign to the Company all my right, title, and interest in and to any
and all inventions, discoveries, improvements, technology, trade
secrets, computer programs, know-how, designs, formulas, original
works or authorship, or any other confidential materials, data
information or instructions, technical or otherwise and whether or not
patentable or copyrightable and whether or not reduced to practice
(collectively referred to as "Inventions") which I may solely or
jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be
conceived or developed or reduced to practice, during the period of
time I am in the employ of the Company. I recognize, however, that
Section 2870 of the California Labor Code (as set forth in Exhibit B
hereto) exempts from this provision any Invention that I develop
entirely on my own time, without using the Company's equipment,
supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those
inventions that either relate at the time of conception or reduction
to practice of the invention to the Company's business, or actual or
demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company or
result from any work performed by me for the Company. I acknowledge
that all original works of authorship which are made by me (solely or
jointly with others) within the scope of my employment and which are
protectable by copyright are "works made for hire," as that term is
defined in the United States Copyright Act (l7 USCA, Section 101).
C. MAINTENANCE OF RECORDS. I agree to keep and maintain adequate and
current written records of all Inventions made by me (solely or
jointly with others) during the term of my employment with the
Company. The records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings,
and any other format that may be specified by the Company. The records
will be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at
all times.
D. INVENTIONS ASSIGNED TO THE UNITED STATES. I agree to assign to the
United States government all my right, title, and interest in and to
any and all Inventions, original works of authorship, developments,
improvements or trade secrets whenever such full title is required to
be in the United States by a contract between the Company and the
United States or any of its agencies.
E. OBTAINING LETTERS PATENT AND COPYRIGHT REGISTRATIONS. I agree that,
whenever requested by the Company, I shall assist the Company in
obtaining United States or foreign letters patent and copyright
registrations, as the case may be, covering Inventions assigned
hereunder to the Company, and I shall execute any patent or copyright
applications or such other documents considered necessary by the
Company or its counsel to apply for and obtain such letters patent or
copyrights. I agree that my obligation to assist the Company to obtain
United States or foreign letters patent and copyright registrations,
as the case may be, covering Inventions assigned hereunder to the
Company shall continue beyond the termination of my employment, but
the Company shall compensate me at a reasonable rate for time actually
spent by me at the Company's request on such assistance. If the
Company is unable because of my mental or physical incapacity or for
any other reason to secure my signature to apply for or to pursue any
application for any United States or foreign letters patent or
copyright registrations, as the case may be, covering Inventions
assigned to the Company as above, then I hereby irrevocably designate
and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as
my agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in my behalf and stead
to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully
permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of letters
patent or copyright registrations thereon with the same legal force
and effect as if executed by me. I hereby waive and quitclaim to the
Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which I now or
may hereafter have for infringement of any patents or copyright
resulting from any such application for letters patent or copyright
registrations assigned hereunder to the Company.
F. EXCEPTION TO ASSIGNMENTS. I understand that the provisions of this
Agreement requiring assignment to the Company do not apply to any
Invention which qualifies fully under the provisions of Section 2870
of the California Labor Code, a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit B. I will advise the Company promptly in writing of any
Inventions that I believe meet the criteria in Subparagraph 2b above;
and I will at that time provide to the Company in writing all evidence
necessary to substantiate that belief. I understand that the Company
will keep in confidence and will not disclose to third parties without
my consent any confidential information disclosed in writing to the
Company relating to inventions that qualify fully under the previsions
of Section 2870 of the California Labor Code.
A-97
<PAGE> 275
3. CONFLICTING EMPLOYMENT. I agree that, during the term of my employment with
the Company, I will not engage in any other employment, occupation,
consulting or other business activity directly related to the business in
which the Company is now involved or becomes involved during the term of my
employment, nor will I engage in any other activities that conflict with my
obligations to the Company.
4. RETURNING COMPANY DOCUMENTS. I agree that, at the time of leaving the
employ of the Company, I will deliver to the Company (and will not keep in
my possession or deliver to anyone else) any and all devices, records,
data, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications,
drawings, blueprints, sketches, materials, equipment, other documents or
property, or reproductions of any aforementioned items belonging to the
Company, its successors or assigns. In the event of the termination of my
employment, I agree to sign and deliver to the Company the "Termination
Certification" attached hereto as Exhibit C.
5. REPRESENTATIONS. I agree to execute any proper oath or verify any proper
document required to carry out the terms of this Agreement. I represent
that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement will not breach any
agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by me in
confidence or in trust prior to my employment by the Company. I have not
entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any oral or written
agreement in conflict herewith.
6. NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS--AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in this Agreement shall
affect in any manner whatsoever the right or power of the Company, or a
parent or subsidiary of the Company, to immediately terminate my employment
or association with the Company, for any reason, with or without cause.
Employment is at-will, with either party having the right to terminate the
employment relationship immediately. Only a written document signed by both
the Company's President and Vice President, Human Resources expressly
amending the provisions of this paragraph may serve to modify this at-will
relationship.
7. GENERAL PROVISIONS
A. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the
State of California, excluding its conflict of laws principles. Venue
for any action under this Agreement shall be Alameda County,
California [CINCINNATI, OHIO FOR JIM KELLY].
B. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and
understanding between the Company and me relating to the subject
matter herein and merges all prior discussions and communications
between us. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any
waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in
writing signed by the party to be charged. Any subsequent change or
changes in my duties, salary or compensation will not affect the
validity or scope of this Agreement.
C. SEVERABILITY/LEGAL FEES. If one or more of the provisions in this
Agreement are deemed void by law, then the remaining provisions will
continue in full force and effect. In the event any action is brought
to enforce the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover their reasonable attorneys fees and costs.

THIRD PARTY INFORMATION
AGREEMENT
As an employee of PeopleSoft, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("PeopleSoft"), or
its subsidiary or affiliate company, the undersigned ("I" or "Employee")
recognizes that PeopleSoft needs and wishes to protect its interests with
respect to the use of third party information, and thus I agree as follows:
1. PEOPLESOFT POLICY. It is and always has been the policy of PeopleSoft to
utilize only its own abilities, creativity, and resources to develop and
distribute the products which bear the PeopleSoft name. PeopleSoft does not
pursue, obtain, accept or make any use of the confidential or proprietary
information of other software or technology companies or any other person,
except pursuant to a proper license or as otherwise permitted by law. As a
PeopleSoft employee, I agree to adhere to this Policy as it is implemented
now or in the future by PeopleSoft.
2. EMPLOYEE'S REPRESENTATIONS. I represent to PeopleSoft that, except as noted
on the Attachment to and part of this Agreement, each of the following is
true and correct:
A. COMPLIANCE WITH POLICY: I intend to fully comply with PeopleSoft's
Policy described above from the beginning of my employment with
PeopleSoft.
B. NO AGREEMENTS: I have not signed or orally agreed with any person or
entity to any confidentiality, secrecy, non-disclosure or proprietary
rights and/or "noncompetition" agreement(s) or similar document(s)
which restricts me from working for PeopleSoft now or in the future.
C. NO RESTRICTIONS: I am not subject to any other kind of ongoing
obligation to another person or entity which restricts my freedom to
fully use my knowledge, skills and experience to perform my job with
PeopleSoft.
D. NO MATERIALS: I do not have nor intend use, whilst at PeopleSoft, any
materials, documents, software, or information which I have any reason
to believe is confidential or proprietary information of some other
person or entity.
E. NO CLAIMS: I am not involved in a lawsuit and have not received any
notice, claim or warning from any former employer, associate or other
person regarding confidential or proprietary materials or information.
3. NON-USE OF THIRD PARTY INFORMATION. In accordance with the PeopleSoft
Policy described above, I will not, during my employment with PeopleSoft,
improperly use or disclose any proprietary or trade secret materials or
confidential information of any former employer or other person or bring
onto or permit electronic transmission into PeopleSoft's premises any
documents, samples, devices, including electronic or tangible property
(including for example, computer diskette) which embody confidential or
proprietary information belonging to another person or entity or which were
obtained during any prior or other employment without first notifying
PeopleSoft in writing and obtaining proper written consent from that other
person or entity. If I am uncertain
A-103
<PAGE> 281
whether certain information or material is subject to a confidentiality
restriction, I will treat it as if it is proprietary or confidential and
not disclose it to PeopleSoft until written approval is issued by
PeopleSoft.
4. CLAIMS. I will immediately notify my supervisor if I receive any notice or
claim or become a party to a lawsuit from a former employer or other person
which concerns or alleges my misappropriation or misuse of confidential or
proprietary information or materials. I will cooperate fully with
PeopleSoft in its investigation and any resolution of such matter. I
understand that PeopleSoft, solely at its election, may or may not provide
me with a legal defense or indemnity in such situations.
5. NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS -- AT WILL EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in this Agreement shall
affect in any manner whatsoever the right or power of PeopleSoft, or a
parent or subsidiary of PeopleSoft, to immediately terminate my employment
or association with PeopleSoft, for any reason, with or without cause.
Employment is at-will, with either party having the right to terminate the
employment relationship immediately. Only a written document signed by both
PeopleSoft's President and Vice President, Human Resources expressly
amending the provisions of this paragraph may serve to modify this at-will
relationship.
6. GENERAL. This and the Employee Proprietary Information Agreement is the
entire agreement between PeopleSoft concerning third party information, and
its provisions may not be waived or modified except by a writing signed by
a PeopleSoft authorized officer and Employee. Any subsequent changes in my
duties or compensation shall not affect the validity or scope of this
Agreement. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of
California, excluding its conflict of laws principles. Venue for any action
under this Agreement shall be Alameda County, California [CINCINNATI, OHIO
FOR KELLEY]. If one or more of the provisions in this Agreement are deemed
void by law, then the remaining provisions will continue in full force and
effect. In the event any action is brought to enforce the terms of this
Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover their
reasonable attorneys fees and costs. This Agreement will be binding upon my
heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives and will

AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE
The parties to this Agreement agree that all disputes arising out of the
PeopleSoft, Inc./employee relationship and/or termination of your employment
with PeopleSoft, Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliates ("Employer") which we are
unable to resolve through direct discussion or mediation, regardless of the kind
or type of dispute shall be submitted exclusively to final and binding
arbitration pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act, or any
successor or replacement statutes or Acts.
This Agreement only excludes claims for workers' compensation, unemployment
insurance, administrative claims before the National Labor Relations Board, the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any parallel state or local agency,
any matter within the jurisdiction of the labor commissioner, and any claim or
allegation by the Employer that its intellectual property rights have been
violated. Employer shall have the right to use applicable state or federal
courts to seek injunctive relief, restraining orders, and claims for damages for
violations of its intellectual property rights.
REQUEST FOR ARBITRATION
The request from the Employee or his or her representative (Employee) must be a
Request for Arbitration, as set forth below and must be submitted in writing to
the Human Resources Department within one (1) year of the date when the dispute
first arose, or within one (1) year of the termination of employment, whichever
occurs first. However, if the Employee's claim arose under a statute providing
for a longer time to file a claim, that statute shall govern.
The Request for Arbitration shall include the following information:
A. A description of the dispute in sufficient detail to advise the
Employer of the nature of the dispute;
B. The date when the dispute first arose;
C. The names, work locations, and telephone numbers of any and all
coworkers or supervisors with knowledge or information of the
dispute; and
D. The relief requested by the Employee.
MEDIATION AN ATTEMPT AT INFORMAL RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES
Prior to submission of any dispute to arbitration, the Employer and the Employee
may attempt to resolve the dispute informally as set forth below.
The Employer and the Employee will select a mediator from a list provided by the
Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services/ENDDISPUTE ("JAMS") or American
Arbitration Association ("AAA") who will assist the parties in attempting to
reach a settlement of the dispute. The Employee shall select either mediation
agency and promptly inform the Employer in writing. The mediator may make
settlement suggestions to the parties but shall not have the power to
A-106
<PAGE> 284
impose a settlement upon them. If the dispute is resolved in mediation, the
matter shall be deemed settled once a settlement agreement is executed by both
parties.
If the dispute is not resolved in mediation and goes to the next step
(arbitration), any proposals or compromises suggested by either of the parties
or the mediator shall not be referred to or have any bearing on the arbitration
procedure. The mediator cannot also serve as the arbitrator in the subsequent
proceeding unless all parties expressly agree in writing.
RIGHT TO LEGAL REPRESENTATION
Both the Employer and the Employee have the right to be represented by counsel
of their choice and at their own expense.
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
This Agreement waives a jury trial.
ARBITRATOR SELECTION
A. All disputes will be resolved by a single arbitrator. The arbitration firm
shall be selected by the Employee.
B. The arbitrator shall be selected from a list provided by JAMS or the AAA.
C. The list provided by JAMS or the AAA shall contain educational and
professional biographies of each proposed arbitrator.
D. The arbitrator(s) shall be selected by the parties by alternately striking
names from the list. The last name remaining on the list shall be the
arbitrator selected to resolve the dispute.
E. Arbitrator selection must be concluded within thirty (30) days of receipt
of the Request for Arbitration by the Employer.
F. The Arbitrator shall be authorized to exercise only the powers specifically
enumerated by this Agreement and to decide the dispute in accordance with
governing principles of law and equity. The Arbitrator shall not have any
authority to modify the powers granted to him or her by the terms of this
Agreement. The Arbitrator also shall not have the authority to modify a
party's responsibility for fees and costs as set forth below, except as
required by law.
THE ARBITRATOR'S AUTHORITY
The Arbitrator shall have only those powers authorized by statute or enumerated
below:
A. Rule on motions regarding the pleadings and discovery.
B. Issue protective orders on the motion of any party or third-party witness.
Such protective orders may include, but are not limited to, sealing the
record of the arbitration, in whole or in part (including discovery
proceedings and motions, transcripts, and the decision and award), to
protect the privacy or other constitutional or statutory rights of parties
and/or witnesses.
C. Determine only the dispute submitted to him or her. The dispute shall be
identified in the Request for Arbitration, any counterclaim(s), and the
answer(s) thereto. Any dispute not identified in those pleadings is outside
the scope of the Arbitrator's jurisdiction and any award invoking such
disputes is subject to a motion to vacate; provided, however, that the
Arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating
to the validity, interpretation, and enforcement of these arbitration
procedures.

liabilities, and obligations in the arbitration with respect to the subject
matter thereof, as provided in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; if the
parties do not agree on which body of rules should govern, then the
Arbitrator shall make the final determination. Depositions for discovery
shall not be taken unless leave to do so is first granted by the
Arbitrator.
C. The Arbitrator shall have the power, in addition to the power of
determining the merits of the arbitration, to enforce the rights, remedies,

the final determination shall be made by the Arbitrator.
D. The hearing shall be recorded and transcribed verbatim by a certified
shorthand reporter. Each party shall bear its own costs with respect to a
copy of the transcript of the hearing; however, the parties shall each be
responsible for one-half the cost of the court reporter's fee and of the
Arbitrator's copy of the transcript of the hearing. Other financial
obligations of the parties are set forth herein.

and immediately following direct examination of the witness.
2. At the conclusion of the Employee's case in chief, the Employer may
submit oral or written motions for judgment on the pleadings, nonsuit,
or directed verdict. The oral or written nature of such motions shall
be in the sole discretion of the Employer.

of all of the Employee's claims, the Employer may present its case in
chief. The order of testimony shall proceed as in I (1) above.
J. The parties may call witnesses for rebuttal following the completion of
each party's case in chief.

is intended to limit the authority and power of the Arbitrator to provide
any relief or remedies available by statute.
FEES AND COSTS
A. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorneys' fees, except as
provided by law.
B. In order to facilitate employees' access to arbitration, Employer will be
responsible for paying the costs of the arbitration proceeding, unless
otherwise provided in the Arbitrator's award. However, to avoid any
possible feeling that the arbitrator may be biased in favor of Employer,
the Employee will also have the option to pay for one-half of the costs of
the arbitration proceeding if the Employee desires. These costs include the

EXHIBIT E
VOTING AGREEMENT AND PROXY
THIS VOTING AGREEMENT AND PROXY (this "Agreement") is entered into as
of June 3, 1998, by and between PeopleSoft, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Acquiror"), and _________________________, a [__________________ corporation,
partnership, an individual] (the "Shareholder") and holder of shares of capital
stock of Intrepid Systems, Inc., a California corporation (the "Company").
RECITALS
A. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
Acquiror and the Company have entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization, of even date herewith (the "Merger Agreement"), that provides,
among other things, that the Company be merged with and into the Acquiror (the
"Merger"). All initially capitalized terms used but not defined in this
Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement.
B. As a condition to its willingness to enter into the Merger
Agreement, Acquiror has required that the Shareholder agree to vote all of the
Shareholder's issued and outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock (its
"Shares") in favor of the Merger and grant the Acquiror an irrevocable proxy to
vote, all of its Shares, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement.
C. In order to induce Acquiror to enter into the Merger Agreement and
in consideration therefor, the Shareholder has agreed to vote its Shares in
favor of the Merger and to grant to Acquiror the requested irrevocable proxy.
D. Shareholder owns, of record and beneficially, the number of shares
of Company Capital Stock indicated on Annex I hereto.
AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals, and of the
mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto,
the parties agree as follows:
1. Voting Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy. Shareholder hereby:
(a) agrees that during the term of this Agreement, at any
meeting of the shareholders of the Company, however called, and in any action by
consent of the shareholders of the Company, Shareholder shall vote all of its
Shares in favor of the Merger, the Merger Agreement (as amended from time to
time) and any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement;
and
A-114
<PAGE> 292
(b) constitutes and appoints Acquiror, which shall act by and
through Ronald E. F. Codd or Robert D. Finnell (each, a "Proxy Holder"), and
each of them, with full power of substitution, its true and lawful proxy and
attorney-in-fact to vote at any meeting (and any adjournment thereof) of
shareholders of the Company relating to the approval of the Merger, the Merger
Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby or to execute a written
consent of shareholders in lieu of any such meeting, its Shares in favor of the
approval of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereby, with such modifications to the Merger Agreement as the parties thereto
may make. Such proxy shall be limited strictly to the power to vote such Shares
in the manner set forth in Section 1(a) hereof and shall not extend to any other
matters. The vote of the Proxy Holder shall control in any conflict between such
Proxy Holder's vote of the Shares and a vote by the Shareholder of the Shares.
(c) Each proxy and power of attorney granted herein shall be
irrevocable during the term of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be coupled
with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and shall
revoke all prior proxies granted by Shareholder. Shareholder shall not grant any
proxy to any person that conflicts with its respective proxy granted herein, and
any attempts to do so shall be void. Each power of attorney granted herein is a
durable power of attorney and shall survive the death, disability or
incompetence of the Shareholder.
(d) In the event of a stock dividend or distribution, or any
change in the Company Capital Stock by reason of any stock dividend, split-up,
recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares or the like, the term "Shares"
shall be deemed to refer to and include the Shares as well as all such stock
dividends and distributions and any shares into which or for which any or all of
the Shares may be changed or exchanged.
2. Representations and Warranties of the Shareholder.
(a) The Shares indicated on Annex I are owned of record and/or
beneficially (as indicated on such annex) by the Shareholder and constitute all
of the shares of Company Capital Stock owned of record and/or beneficially by
the Shareholder.
(b) The Shareholder represents and warrants to Acquiror that:
(i) the Shareholder has full legal right, power and authority to enter into and
perform all such Shareholder's obligations under this Agreement; (ii) the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder, and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not violate
any other agreement to which the Shareholder is a party including, without
limitation, any voting agreement, stockholders agreement or voting trust; (iii)
this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Shareholder and
constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Shareholder,
enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by principles of public policy and subject to laws
relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and to rules of law
governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies;
and (iv) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby do not require the
consent, waiver, approval, license or authorization of or any filing with any
Governmental Authority or
A-115
<PAGE> 293
other Person and will not violate, result in a breach of or the acceleration of
any obligation under, or constitute a default under, any provision of its
certificate of incorporation or by-laws, or any indenture, mortgage, lien,
lease, agreement, contract, instrument, order, law, rule, regulation, judgment,
ordinance, decree, or restriction by which the Shareholder or any of its
respective properties or assets is bound.
(c) The Shares are fully paid for and non-assessable on the
date hereof, and the Shareholder is, and on the date of any meeting of
shareholders of the Company, the Shareholder will be, the lawful owner of the
Shares identified on Annex I, free and clear of all Liens. There are no
outstanding options, warrants or right to acquire, or agreements relating to the
sale or proxy for, the Shares (other than this Agreement).
3. Representations and Warranties of Acquiror. Acquiror represents and
warrants to the Shareholder that (a) Acquiror is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware
and has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform
this Agreement; (b) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Acquiror and
the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Acquiror, and this
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Acquiror; and (c) this
Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Acquiror enforceable
against Acquiror in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may
be limited by principles of public policy and subject to laws relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and to rules of law governing
specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.
4. Stop Transfer. Shareholder agrees while this Agreement is in effect
not to sell, exchange, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose
of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding
with respect to the sale, exchange, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, assignment,
or other disposition of, any Shares. Shareholder further agrees with and
covenants to Acquiror that Shareholder shall not request that the Company

CALIFORNIA GENERAL CORPORATION LAW
CHAPTER 13. DISSENTERS' RIGHTS
SEC. 1300. REORGANIZATION OR SHORT-FORM MERGER; DISSENTING SHARES; CORPORATE
PURCHASE AT
FAIR MARKET VALUE; DEFINITIONS
(a) If the approval of the outstanding shares (Section 152) of a
corporation is required for a reorganization under subdivisions (a) and (b) or
subdivision (e) or (f) of Section 1201, each shareholder of the corporation
entitled to vote on the transaction and each shareholder of a subsidiary
corporation in a short-form merger may, by complying with this chapter, require
the corporation in which the shareholder holds shares to purchase for cash at
their fair market value the shares owned by the shareholder which are dissenting
shares as defined in subdivision (b). The fair market value shall be determined
as of the day before the first announcement of the terms of the proposed
reorganization or short-form merger, excluding any appreciation or depreciation
in consequence of the proposed action, but adjusted for any stock split, reverse
stock split, or share dividend which becomes effective thereafter.
(b) As used in this chapter, "dissenting shares" means shares which come
within all of the following descriptions:
(1) Which were not immediately prior to the reorganization or
short-form merger either (A) listed on any national securities exchange
certified by the Commissioner of Corporations under subdivision (o) of
Section 25100 or (B) listed on the list of OTC margin stocks issued by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the notice of meeting
of shareholders to act upon the reorganization summarizes this section and
Sections 1301, 1302, 1303 and 1304; provided, however, that this provision
does not apply to any shares with respect to which there exists any
restriction on transfer imposed by the corporation or by any law or
regulation; and provided, further, that this provision does not apply to
any class of shares described in subparagraph (A) or (B) if demands for
payment are filed with respect to 5 percent or more of the outstanding
shares of that class.
(2) Which were outstanding on the date for the determination of
shareholders entitled to vote on the reorganization and (A) were not voted
in favor of the reorganization or, (B) if described in subparagraph (A) or
(B) of paragraph (1) (without regard to the provisos in that paragraph),
were voted against the reorganization, or which were held of record on the
effective date of a short-form merger; provided, however, that subparagraph
(A) rather than subparagraph (B) of this paragraph applies in any case
where the approval required by Section 1201 is sought by written consent
rather than at a meeting.
(3) Which the dissenting shareholder has demanded that the corporation
purchase at their fair market value, in accordance with Section 1301.
(4) Which the dissenting shareholder has submitted for endorsement, in
accordance with Section 1302.
(c) As used in this chapter, "dissenting shareholder" means the
recordholder of dissenting shares and includes a transferee of record.

SEC. 1301. NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF DISSENTING SHARES IN REORGANIZATIONS; DEMAND FOR
PURCHASE; TIME; CONTENTS
(a) If, in the case of a reorganization, any shareholders of a corporation
have a right under Section 1300, subject to compliance with paragraphs (3) and
(4) of subdivision (b) thereof, to require the corporation to purchase their
shares for cash, such corporation shall mail to each such shareholder a notice
of the approval of the reorganization by its outstanding shares (Section 152)
within 10 days after the date of such approval,
B-1
<PAGE> 300

statement of the price determined by the corporation to represent the fair
market value of the dissenting shares, and a brief description of the procedure
to be followed if the shareholder desires to exercise the shareholder's right
under such sections. The statement of price constitutes an offer by the
corporation to purchase at the price stated any dissenting shares as defined in
subdivision (b) of Section 1300, unless they lose their status as dissenting
shares under Section 1309.
(b) Any shareholder who has a right to require the corporation to purchase
the shareholder's shares for cash under Section 1300, subject to compliance with
paragraphs (3) and (4) of subdivision (b) thereof, and who desires the
corporation to purchase such shares shall make written demand upon the
corporation for the purchase of such shares and payment to the shareholder in
cash of their fair market value. The demand is not effective for any purpose
unless it is received by the corporation or any transfer agent thereof (1) in
the case of shares described in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (1) of
subdivision (b) of Section 1300 (without regard to the provisos in that
paragraph), not later than the date of the shareholders' meeting to vote upon
the reorganization, or (2) in any other case within 30 days after the date on
which the notice of the approval by the outstanding shares pursuant to
subdivision (a) or the notice pursuant to subdivision (i) of Section 1110 was
mailed to the shareholder.
(c) The demand shall state the number and class of the shares held of
record by the shareholder which the shareholder demands that the corporation
purchase and shall contain a statement of what such shareholder claims to be the
fair market value of those shares as of the day before the announcement of the
proposed reorganization or short-form merger. The statement of fair market value
constitutes an offer by the shareholder to sell the shares at such price.

its principal office or at the office of any transfer agent thereof, (a) if the
shares are certificated securities, the shareholder's certificates representing
any shares which the shareholder demands that the corporation purchase, to be
stamped or endorsed with a statement that the shares are dissenting shares or to
be exchanged for certificates of appropriate denomination so stamped or endorsed
or (b) if the shares are uncertificated securities, written notice of the number
of shares which the shareholder demands that the corporation purchase. Upon

dissenting shares and agree upon the price of the shares, the dissenting
shareholder is entitled to the agreed price with interest thereon at the legal
rate on judgments from the date of the agreement. Any agreements fixing the fair
market value of any dissenting shares as between the corporation and the holders
thereof shall be filed with the secretary of the corporation.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 1306, payment of the fair market
value of dissenting shares shall be made within 30 days after the amount thereof
has been agreed or within 30 days after any statutory or contractual conditions
to the reorganization are satisfied, whichever is later, and in the case of

shares, then the shareholder demanding purchase of such shares as dissenting
shares or any interested corporation, within six months after the date on which
notice of the approval by the outstanding shares (Section 152) or notice
pursuant to subdivision (i) of Section 1110 was mailed to the shareholder, but

praying the court to determine whether the shares are dissenting shares or the
fair market value of the dissenting shares or both or may intervene in any
action pending on such a complaint.
(b) Two or more dissenting shareholders may join as plaintiffs or be joined
as defendants in any such action and two or more such actions may be
consolidated.
(c) On the trial of the action, the court shall determine the issues. If
the status of the shares as dissenting shares is in issue, the court shall first
determine that issue. If the fair market value of the dissenting shares is in
issue, the court shall determine, or shall appoint one or more impartial
appraisers to determine, the fair market value of the shares.

the court, the appraisers, or a majority of them, shall make and file a report
in the office of the clerk of the court. Thereupon, on the motion of any party,
the report shall be submitted to the court and considered on such evidence as
the court considers relevant. If the court finds the report reasonable, the
court may confirm it.
(b) If a majority of the appraisers appointed fail to make and file a
report within 10 days from the date of their appointment or within such further
time as may be allowed by the court or the report is not confirmed by the court,
the court shall determine the fair market value of the dissenting shares.
(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 1306, judgment shall be rendered
against the corporation for payment of an amount equal to the fair market value
of each dissenting share multiplied by the number of dissenting shares which any
dissenting shareholder who is a party, or who has intervened, is entitled to
require the corporation to purchase, with interest thereon at the legal rate
from the date on which judgment was entered.
(d) Any such judgment shall be payable forthwith with respect to
uncertificated securities and, with respect to certificated securities, only
upon the endorsement and delivery to the corporation of the certificates for the
shares described in the judgment. Any party may appeal from the judgment.
(e) The costs of the action, including reasonable compensation to the
appraisers to be fixed by the court, shall be assessed or apportioned as the
court considers equitable, but, if the appraisal exceeds the price offered by
the corporation, the corporation shall pay the costs (including in the
discretion of the court attorneys' fees, fees of expert witnesses and interest
at the legal rate on judgments from the date of compliance with Sections 1300,
1301 and 1302 if the value awarded by the court for the shares is more than 125

SEC. 1312. RIGHT OF DISSENTING SHAREHOLDER TO ATTACK, SET ASIDE OR RESCIND
MERGER OR REORGANIZATION; RESTRAINING ORDER OR INJUNCTION; CONDITIONS
(a) No shareholder of a corporation who has a right under this chapter to
demand payment of cash for the shares held by the shareholder shall have any
right at law or in equity to attack the validity of the reorganization or
short-form merger, or to have the reorganization or short-form merger set aside
or rescinded, except in an action to test whether the number of shares required
to authorize or approve the reorganization have been legally voted in favor
thereof; but any holder of shares of a class whose terms and provisions
specifically set forth the amount to be paid in respect to them in the event of
a reorganization or short-form merger is entitled to payment in accordance with
those terms and provisions or, if the principal terms of the reorganization are
approved pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 1202, is entitled to payment in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the approved reorganization.
(b) If one of the parties to a reorganization or short-form merger is
directly or indirectly controlled by, or under common control with, another
party to the reorganization or short-form merger, subdivision (a) shall not
apply to any shareholder of such party who has not demanded payment of cash for
such shareholder's shares pursuant to this chapter; but if the shareholder
institutes any action to attack the validity of the reorganization or short-form
merger or to have the reorganization or short-form merger set aside or
rescinded, the shareholder shall not thereafter have any right to demand payment
of cash for the shareholder's shares pursuant to this chapter. The court in any
action attacking the validity of the reorganization or short-form merger or to
have the reorganization or short-form merger set aside or rescinded shall not
restrain or enjoin the consummation of the transaction except upon 10 days'
prior notice to the corporation and upon a determination by the court that
clearly no other remedy will adequately protect the complaining shareholder or
the class of shareholders of which such shareholder is a member.
(c) If one of the parties to a reorganization or short-form merger is
directly or indirectly controlled by, or under common control with, another
party to the reorganization or short-form merger, in any action to attack the
validity of the reorganization or short-form merger or to have the
reorganization or short-form merger set aside or rescinded, (1) a party to a
reorganization or short-form merger which controls another party to the
reorganization or short-form merger shall have the burden of proving that the
transaction is just and reasonable as to the shareholders of the controlled
party, and (2) a person who controls two or more parties to a reorganization
shall have the burden of proving that the transaction is just and reasonable as
to the shareholders of any party so controlled.

ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to
award, or a corporation's Board of Directors to grant, indemnity to directors
and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under
certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities act of 1933 ( the "Act"). Article XIII of
the Registrant's currently effective Certificate of Incorporation and Article VI
of the Registrant's Bylaws provide for indemnification of its directors,
officers, employees and other agents. In addition, the Registrant has entered
into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors.
Commencing with the effectiveness of the Merger, the Registrant will either
cause Intrepid to, or will itself directly indemnify the current officers and
directors of Intrepid in accordance with Intrepid's Bylaws in effect immediately
before the Merger to any action or inaction by such person prior to the Merger.

(b) FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULE
All schedules have been omitted because the information required to be set
forth therein is not applicable or is shown in the financial statements or the
notes thereto.
ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS
(1) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to
any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a
prospectus which is a part of this Registration Statement, by any person or
party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the
undersigned Registrant undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain
the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to
reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the
information called for by the other Items of the applicable form.
(2) The Registrant undertakes that every prospectus (i) that is field
pursuant to paragraph (1) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet
the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act and is used in
connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as
a part of an amendment to the Registration Statement and will not be used until
such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
II-3
<PAGE> 307
(3) Insofar as the indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(4) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for
information that is incorporated by reference into the Prospectus pursuant to
Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of
such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or
other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents
filed subsequent to the effective date of the Registration Statement through the
date of responding to the request.
(5) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of
post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the
company being acquired involved herein, that was not the subject of and included
in the Registration Statement when it became effective.
