ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

GENERAL

         Cayenne Software, Inc. (formerly Bachman Information Systems, Inc.)
("Cayenne(TM)" or the "Company"), organized as a corporation in 1983, develops,
markets and supports a comprehensive suite of software products and services.
Fortune 1000 companies and government agencies around the world use Cayenne
products as they develop, implement, and maintain enterprise-wide,
business-critical information systems. Cayenne's products are designed around an
innovative open architecture that enables organizations to create applications
that integrate diverse information sources into new high-performance computing
environments, to modify applications as business and technology change, and to
run those applications on a variety of platforms. Cayenne's approach to
reusability and its open architecture directly support mainframe and
client/server development and facilitates technology partnerships with other 
leading software vendors.

         Cayenne targets its products to Fortune 1000 companies, government
agencies, and organizations of similar size throughout the world that use
workstations, mid-range and mainframe computers and relational database
management systems for data-intensive applications.

         As the Company continues to make the transition from providing tools
focused solely on mainframe application development to supporting customers'
needs for a more open and flexible set of solutions aimed at the growing
client/server market, it faces many challenges. Since fiscal 1993, the Company
has sought to address some of these challenges and, during fiscal 1995 and 1996,
the Company introduced additional products targeted at the client/server market.
The Company plans to continue to enhance its product offerings through
development efforts, strategic alliances and acquisitions to improve its
competitive position. The actions necessary to execute this transition have had
an adverse effect on the Company's operating results during fiscal 1996, 1995
and 1994.

         In July, 1996, the Company acquired Cadre Technologies Inc. ("Cadre")
thereby expanding its product offerings and customer base. Cadre develops,
markets and supports software tools for the creation of complex computer
software. Most of the products sold by Cadre help to automate the process of
requirements analysis and software design by groups of software engineers.
Customers use the tools to capture, traverse, and analyze abstract models of the
system to be built. These models assist users, and sometimes their customers, in
understanding a software system, planning its implementation and making
engineering trade-offs. Additional Cadre products address document generation,
model configuration management, software construction, and the "reverse
engineering" (understanding) of existing software.

         Cadre's customers are generally developers of complex software systems,
in both the information system ("IS") and the "technical" sectors. While most of
Cadre's current customers consider themselves in the technical sector, the
Company expects a shift toward IS customers as it concentrates on 
"object-oriented" ("OO") technology. The Company's strategy is to maintain 
Cadre's position as a leading provider of tools to the technical market, while 
introducing new products and enhancements for Cadre's OO product line.

ACQUISITIONS

         On July 18, 1996, the Company completed its acquisition of Cadre under
an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated as of March 25,
1996 by and among the Company, Cadre and B.C. Acquisition Corp. ("Acquisition
Corp"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger Agreement provided
that upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified therein that,
effective on the closing, Acquisition Corp. would be merged with and into Cadre,
the separate corporate existence of Acquisition Corp. would cease, and Cadre
would continue as the surviving corporation in the merger and as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition will be accounted for as a "pooling
of interests" beginning the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, the amount of Company shares of common stock issued was 4,716,442 and
the exchange ratio was determined to be 0.3088 Company share for each
outstanding Cadre share. The fair market value of a share of the Company's
common stock at the time of the merger was $5.625 per share. Stratagem 
Partnering Inc. acted as the Company's financial advisor in connection with the
Cadre acquisition.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

         Organizations have found in recent years that good information systems
supporting well-designed business processes can provide a substantial
competitive edge. The growth of business process re-engineering is an attempt to
re-think business processes and work flow from the ground up in order to achieve
the dramatic improvements in productivity required to reduce costs, improve
service to customers and gain competitive advantage. This re-thinking of the
business process creates challenges for IS professionals by creating many new
processes to support, and by rendering existing systems partially or completely
obsolete. As a result, there is an increasing demand for new application
development as well as a need for better integration among existing information
resources.

         While in the past a majority of information-intensive applications were
built using large, centralized mainframe computers (such as those built by IBM),
with mainframe database management technology and very simple user interaction,
the proliferation of personal computers, networks and related technology over
the last ten to fifteen years has made a variety of new computing configurations
possible. New technologies promise systems that are easier to use and provide
better real-time access to information. After an initial investment, they also
promise a more rational cost structure over time.

         Today, several very different types of technology coexist in large
organizations, each serving the needs of a specific user constituency. This
diversity of technology creates serious challenges for information systems
professionals, as they work to build new applications, maintain older mainframe
"legacy" applications, incorporate new client/server and communications
technology, integrate a variety of databases and applications for improved
access, and grow staff skills to meet overall requirements. To alleviate some of
these pressures, recent technology developments have emphasized systems of
hardware and software that are scalable, meaning they can be sized to meet the
small or large demands of the organizational units they support. Scalable
systems allow growing organizations to build on the investment they have made in
infrastructure and staff development, adding capacity incrementally, rather than
acquiring an entirely new system that might be very different from its
predecessor.

         The primary goal of these changes is to make the organization more
productive by making more information available to the people who need it. This
improves the organization's ability to conduct its business. A related goal is
to create a more flexible infrastructure in which incremental growth results in
incremental cost, not a complete system redesign.

         With the acquisition of Cadre, the Company has entered into an
additional industry segment focused on the creation and maintenance of complex
software systems, the problem addressed by Computer Aided Software Engineering
("CASE") products. During the 1970's, a number of "structured" techniques and
methods were invented to replace earlier ad-hoc approaches to software
development. The analysis and design (as opposed to implementation) techniques
emphasize the building of abstract models to assist in the understanding,
planning, and implementation of a system. The rationale for modeling is the same
in software as it is in any engineering discipline; money and effort are saved
if problems are identified and dealt with early in the engineering process.

         STRUCTURED ANALYSIS AND STRUCTURED DESIGN. In the early eighties,
networks of computer workstations made it feasible to partially automate the
capture, traversal, and analysis of engineering models by work groups. This
technology was rapidly adopted in the civil, mechanical, and electrical
engineering domains. The CASE market expanded quickly in the mid-to
late-eighties, as did the number of companies formed to service it. The high end
of the market, with its multi-user networked UNIX engineering workstation
solution, found a home in technically-oriented organizations, such as those in
telecommunications, aerospace and defense. The other end of the market focused
on single-user, personal computer ("PC") based products. These found early
success in corporate IS organizations, where PCs were widely used.

         The IS CASE market declined in the early nineties for a number of
reasons. While the IS software development market is large, commitment to
structured methods (and the attendant engineering discipline) was 


                                       4
<PAGE>   5
weak. Some CASE companies made claims which the products were unable to deliver
and soured the market. Others were slow to respond to technology changes such as
the shift to client-server application development and object orientation
(discussed further below). The decline resulted in a number of market leaders
closing or being acquired. The technical market, where Cadre derived the
majority of its business, was affected by the contraction and consolidation in
the defense industry. Consequently, Cadre diversified its product line into the
software development process, including debugging, measurement and verification
tools.

         OBJECT ORIENTED TECHNOLOGY. In the meantime, the software development
community began to experiment with "object-oriented" technology, and in
particular, OO analysis, design and implementation techniques. The structured
techniques mentioned previously generally partition a system purely along
functional lines, i.e. in terms of what the system does. The OO approach
partitions a system into "objects," where each object encapsulates information
and those functions that operate on that information. The benefit of the OO
approach is that systems partitioned this way are more robust, more amenable to
change, and the objects are easier to reuse in other systems.

         Cadre started selling its first OO analysis and design products (based
on the method of developing software created by Shlaer-Mellor) in 1989. When
market momentum began to build around a related method called the Object
Modeling Technique ("OMT"), Cadre initially entered the market by reselling an
OMT product in 1993. This was replaced by the OMT tool developed by Westmount
Technology B.V., acquired by Cadre in 1995. As the structured tools market
matures, the Company expects a transition to the OMT tool and related products.
These products run on both UNIX-based platforms and Windows 95 and NT-based
platforms.


                                       5

THE TRANSITION TO CLIENT/SERVER COMPUTING

         New technology configurations combine personal computers, from which
information or processing is requested by users or "clients", with small,
medium, or large "server" machines that service those requests for information
or processing, and often perform additional tasks that are triggered by these
requests. The desired result is a network of information stores that contains
the knowledge base of the business (sometimes called an "information
warehouse"), and is queried and updated by a variety of applications that serve
specific departments and goals. This type of configuration is loosely referred
to as "client/server" computing.

         Centralized IS groups have become accustomed over time to the issues
and strategies which arise when a large amount of data must be managed and a
large number of users supported. Concerns about controlled access, controlled
redundancy, management of application changes, large team development,
application performance and system documentation have been part of the IS
specialist's role for quite some time. Smaller departmental computing groups can
sometimes be unaware of the implications of under managing these issues, and
unaware of the techniques that can help control risk, if they have not had to
confront the problems that can result when such controls are not in place.

         Today, forward-thinking organizations seek to combine the best of all
worlds, and apply the new, productive tools that have been created for rapid
development of small applications to larger, more ambitious, mission-critical
projects. At the same time, IS specialists in these organizations want to ensure
that applications, corporate data, and the infrastructure that supports them are
treated as important corporate assets and managed with the necessary controls.

APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES

         In the past, companies that have worked to provide state-of-the art
application development products have seemed to focus on one or the other of
these worlds -- automation of the rapid application development ("code it and
go") approach, or automation of the techniques pioneered by early methodologists
in largely mainframe environments. Again, the trend had been toward diverse
techniques being used in organizations and projects of different sizes or
technologies. But Cayenne and many of Cayenne's customers see significant value
in creating a scalable development approach, one that provides the productivity
of rapid, visual development with the reliability of a robust environment. Some
techniques commonly associated with mainframe-oriented development in the past,
such as data and process modeling, automated database design, and performance
analysis, can be applied with equal success to the development of client/server
applications; they need only be adapted to the characteristics of specific
technology environments.

         As IS organizations seek productivity tools that will help them make
these difficult transitions, they prefer to work with vendors who understand
their special challenges. In exploring the various tools available to them, they
are confronted by a wide variety of claims, prices, and function. Cayenne
believes it can provide a unique and critical service as a company that
understands the challenges of both the traditional IS environment and the new
technologies and methods.

         Many organizations have recently invested heavily in the hardware and
connectivity infrastructures that will form the foundation of their new
client/server systems. Components of these infrastructures include computers,
network-related hardware and software, database management systems, gateways,
and other enabling technologies. These organizations are now turning their
attention to the applications that will be built using this new technology
infrastructure, and which will support the newly-designed business processes.

         Applications fall into several different categories, based on their
complexity and on the user constituency they serve. Cayenne focuses on solutions
that enable development, deployment, and maintenance of the more complex
applications that impact multiple departments or the entire enterprise.

         Many of these applications are considered to be "business-critical,"
meaning that their continued operation and effectiveness is critical to the
execution of day-to-day business. Many other application development tools on
the market today provide productivity benefits for smaller, less complex,
applications, but these tools lack the 


                                       6
<PAGE>   7
robust features that allow an organization to continue using those same tools to
address more complex requirements for applications that are central to the
business. Cayenne's strategy is to produce solutions to a number of different
problems relating to the development of business-critical applications in both
mainframe and client/server technologies.

         As the Company continues to make the transition from providing tools
focused solely on mainframe application development to supporting customers'
needs for a more open and flexible set of solutions aimed at the growing
client/server market, it faces many challenges. To address some of these
challenges, in fiscal 1995 and 1996, the Company introduced a suite of
additional products targeted at the client/server market. The Company plans to
continue to enhance its product offerings through development efforts, strategic
alliances and acquisitions to improve its competitive position. The actions
necessary to execute this transition have had an adverse effect on the Company's
operating results during fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994. In July 1996, the Company
acquired Cadre thereby expanding its product offerings and customer base. 

CAYENNE'S APPROACH

Cayenne provides products and services in the following solution areas:

         -  Modeling business requirements
         -  Designing and re-engineering databases
         -  Developing and deploying applications
         -  Work group support
         -  Managing the process
         -  Leveraging legacy systems
         -  Structured Analysis and Design
         -  Object Oriented Technology


Cayenne takes the following unique approach to these areas, which provides a
number of benefits to organizations seeking strategic solutions to their
information systems challenges.

         SEPARATION BETWEEN CONCEPTUAL AND PHYSICAL CONCERNS. Cayenne solutions
enforce a separation between conceptual business requirements, where
organizations capture information about what data needs to be available and what
happens to it, and physical implementation, where technology-specific concerns
are addressed in an implementation design. This separation provides flexibility.
Changes to the business requirements or policies and changes to the technology
environment can be addressed independently, allowing organizations to leverage
investments in each. The technology-independent approach helps organizations
focus on business requirements, increasing the likelihood that the finished
application will meet those requirements.

         FLEXIBILITY TO ENTER THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AT ANY STAGE. Cayenne
solutions address the entire life cycle of application development, and many of
them can be used at multiple stages of the life cycle. For example, database
design products can capture existing database structures from applications that
have already been developed, allowing database designers to view and optimize
the data structures. Design can begin with a new project or with an existing
system already in production. This flexibility supports an iterative development
process, and allows incorporation of formal analysis and modeling where needed.

         INTEGRATION OF PRODUCTS ON MULTIPLE PLATFORMS. Used individually,
Cayenne products provide users with sophisticated solutions to application
development problems. Cayenne enhances their utility by offering total system
integration across products on both Windows and OS/2 platforms. Product
integration enhances communication, efficiency, and productivity, and it
increases the return on the investment in time and effort expended throughout
the application development life cycle. Using Cayenne products, systems
analysts, application developers, and database designers can work in concert,
using the same model from the conceptual phase through to physical database 
implementation. Over time, this cycle can be reversed as business requirements 
change or migration to new platforms requires redesign.


                                       7
<PAGE>   8

         ABILITY TO ACHIEVE PRODUCTIVITY BY REUSING PREVIOUS WORK. The
technology-independent approach, combined with the use of object-oriented
techniques, allows for the reuse of valuable work -- a very important
contributor to productivity. Cayenne supports reuse by:

         -   Providing development tools that help build scalable applications,
             minimizing the need for redevelopment.

         -   Modeling applications at a business level, so that requirements are
             implemented consistently across platforms and applications.

         -   Employing object-oriented techniques such as inheritance and
             encapsulation in application development, business modeling, and
             database design.

         -   Re-engineering legacy systems, so data structures and business
             rules can be captured from existing implementations and reused in
             models and new implementations.

         -   Providing open interfaces, so information captured in Cayenne
             products can be reused with best-in-class tools or custom
             solutions.

STRATEGIC DIRECTION

Cayenne continues to invest in robust solutions that facilitate development of
the most critical applications, are applicable across multiple platforms, can be
used throughout the application development life cycle, and will stand the test
of time, justifying customer investments. These solutions result from a
combination of Cayenne-built software products, joint development efforts with
partners, acquired technology, and services provided by Cayenne's highly
experienced trainers and consultants. Cayenne has invested in both its mainframe
and client/server solutions, recognizing that many organizations will need to
maintain both types of environments for some time to come. In addition, through
its acquisition of Cadre, the Company has expanded in the areas of structured
analysis and design and oriented technology.

CAYENNE'S SOLUTIONS

Cayenne's diverse solutions, composed of software products and services,        
assisted information systems specialists in the following areas: modeling
business requirements; designing and re-engineering databases; developing and
deploying applications; work group support; designing for performance; managing
the process; leveraging legacy systems; structured analysis and design; and
object-oriented technology. The suite of products and services provided by
Cayenne and its partners allows customers to choose from the wide variety of
application development tools on the market that best meet their needs. Except
for designing for performance, Cayenne offers products and services today in
each of the following solution  areas.

MODELING BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS

Cayenne offers tools on both Windows and OS/2 platforms that enable data
analysts, system analysts, and other business analysts to model information
systems more quickly and thoroughly than they can using conventional techniques.
GROUNDWORKS for Windows and GroundWorks for OS/2 (formerly, the BACHMAN/Analyst)
are tools for analysts that incorporate the data, logic, and process
requirements into a unified model. Further, they can be used to generate
implementation components for a variety of database and software environments.
These data modeling tools incorporate a rule-based expert system that places
Cayenne's modeling expertise in the hands of users, helping them to improve the
quality and effectiveness of the resulting models.


                                       8
<PAGE>   9
GroundWorks integrates process and data models. This integration streamlines the
modeling process, reduces opportunities for error, and promotes an
object-oriented approach to analysis -- all of which facilitate reuse. One
important goal of GroundWorks is to help user teams, analysts, and application
developers communicate business requirements. Models created using one product
are fully compatible with the other, providing organizations with greater
platform flexibility.

DESIGNING AND RE-ENGINEERING DATABASES

Cayenne offers tools on both Windows and OS/2 platforms that allow data
analysts, application developers, and database designers to design, implement,
and maintain high-performance relational databases. TERRAIN is Cayenne's family
of database design tools that offers a comprehensive, scalable database design
environment for business-critical client/server databases. TERRAIN 500 provides
graphical support for basic design tasks, such as object creation and
maintenance, reporting, and database documentation. Open Connectivity tasks
support Microsoft Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), allowing Terrain 500 users
to import and export designs from over 40 popular Database Management Systems
(DMBSs), including Microsoft and SYBASE SQL Server, ORACLE, Informix, and
DB2/6000.

         TERRAIN 1000 was designed specifically for users of Microsoft and
SYBASE SQL Server, with built-in expertise appropriate to users of Version 4.2,
4.9, and System 10. Terrain 1000 has all the functionality of Terrain 500, but
with greater depth and breadth (version-specific Design task rules to help users
evaluate their designs, advisors for performance optimization, and support for
all SQL Server objects, for example). When used with the optional TERRAIN 100/S
module, users can connect directly to a Microsoft or SYBASE SQL Server catalog
in order to capture existing databases and generate DDL based on their Terrain
designs. Another optional module, TERRAIN 100/O, provides similar functionality
for ORACLE databases. Designs created using Terrain 1000 are compatible with
Terrain 500, and vice versa.

         Terrain for OS/2 (formerly, the BACHMAN/DBA), is optimized through
expert-systems technology for IBM's DB2 database management system. Terrain for
OS/2, in combination with DDL GENERATOR products, allows database
administrators to design relational databases and create data definitions for a
number of different relational databases, including DB2, DB2/6000, SYBASE SQL
Server, Microsoft SQL Server, ORACLE, Ingres, INFORMIX, ADABAS, and the OS/2
databases (Extended Services Database Manager (DBM) and DB2/2). These products
also capture existing database designs to facilitate the re-engineering of
database definitions to one or more technologies.

         Organizations seeking an integrated application development solution
can use TERRAINMAP to translate GroundWorks data models into Terrain 1000
designs. Once in Terrain, the design can be implemented in any ODBC-compliant
DBMS. This integration makes it possible to completely re-engineer existing
production systems, and to maintain a single data model and deploy it across any
number of database platforms. Organizations can start in either place --with an
existing data model or an existing database-- and use TerrainMap to help ensure
both optimal design and optimal performance.

         The illustration below demonstrates Cayenne's scalable solution for
certain of its products.

DEVELOPING AND DEPLOYING APPLICATIONS

         ELLIPSE provided a comprehensive solution for building and maintaining
business-critical client/server applications. It combined a productive, visual
development environment with a robust production system and integrated life
cycle management. This combination allowed organizations to build reliable and
scalable multi-platform client/server applications. Teams of developers on the
Sun Solaris platform could use Ellipse to build small or large database
applications, and deploy those applications to one or more production sites.
Ellipse helped organizations take advantage of the special benefits of
client/server computing by automatically partitioning the application between
clients and servers. Ellipse's automatic recovery and restart features ensured
that applications and information would be available when needed by business
users, thereby reducing the risk of bringing run-the-business applications to
new client/server technology. Ellipse was based on a shared object repository
and incorporated configuration management and version control features which
facilitate ease of maintenance and a smooth transition to new software releases.
In July 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Seer Technologies, Inc.
("Seer") providing for the sale of its Ellipse product in exchange for certain
royalties payable under the terms of the joint development and distribution
agreement described below if the Company's former Ellipse customers migrate to
Seer's HPS product.

         GENERATOR FOR POWERBUILDER allows an organization that uses
both GroundWorks or Terrain for DB2 and Powersoft Corporation's PowerBuilder to
directly take advantage of modeling work in designing a new application.
The Generator creates several different types of PowerBuilder application
components using information specified in Groundworks or Terrain for DB2,
offering time savings and improved application consistency and quality.

         Combined Cayenne-Netron solution. Cayenne's open architecture allows
customers to take advantage of the implementation tools that meet their needs.
Netron Inc.'s CAP/Link provides a link between Groundworks for OS/2 and Netron's
multi-platform COBOL construction product, NETRON/CAP. This combined solution is
used today by a number of organizations who are committed to COBOL development,
want to evolve 


                                       10
<PAGE>   11
toward a reusable code base, and want integration with high-level modeling in
order to ensure that new applications meet business requirements. Cayenne sells
Netron's application development products in Italy, Ireland and the United
Kingdom. 

WORK GROUP SUPPORT

         REPORTS provides over 100 standard reports on CAYENNE model and design
information. Taking advantage of easy-to-use database technology --Microsoft
Access-- Reports provides Windows-based access to GroundWorks model information,
and to Terrain design information. Reports are standard across all products,
enhancing communication among members of application development teams.

         SHARED WORK MANAGER allows groups of analysts to share models and
integrate the results of their work. Shared Work Manager is the first work group
modeling product that takes an intelligent approach to resolving modeling
conflicts that arise in a multi-user environment. It enables groups to interact
in a manner consistent with their organization's culture and work-flow methods.
The product helps users achieve a shortened development cycle without
sacrificing application quality because it supports parallel development,
increases consistency across applications, streamlines work flow, and simplifies
and encourages teamwork.

DESIGNING FOR PERFORMANCE

         WINDTUNNEL was a Windows-based performance modeling and prediction
product for mainframe and client/server applications using DBMSs such as SYBASE
SQL Server and IBM's DB2/VMS. WindTunnel helped application teams evaluate
performance and predict system resource demands early in the application
development life cycle. Traditional performance methods are used much later,
usually after an application has been fully developed. Finding potential
performance bottlenecks early can help organizations rework and redesign,
thereby meeting their performance objectives in a more cost-effective way. 
At the end of fiscal 1996, the Company decided no longer to actively
sell and market its WindTunnel product.

MANAGING THE PROCESS

         SERVEYOR is a multi-platform client/server product that integrates
process and project management to enable information systems development teams
to work more efficiently and effectively. Organizations that have adopted a
development methodology can use Serveyor to adapt that methodology for specific
projects, assign tasks and deliverables, launch the tool appropriate for
performing each task, track progress, and manage resources within and across
projects. Serveyor incorporates a large knowledge base of information relevant
to information systems processes and tasks, enabling staff members to learn on
the job. Overall, this product serves as an umbrella over the other tools,
tasks, and deliverables that make up the development process. Serveyor is
distributed by Cayenne under the terms of a worldwide technology and marketing
agreement with Rapid Systems Development, Inc. which owns certain rights to the
technology for the product.

LEVERAGING LEGACY SYSTEMS

         BUSINESS RULE CAPTURE lets users exploit the valuable information in
legacy systems --their logic and objects-- and use that information to
re-engineer applications as they migrate from traditional host-based systems to
distributed systems. By enabling organizations to quickly summarize the business
logic in legacy COBOL applications, Business Rule Capture shortens the cycle for
maintenance, system integration, and new development. And once existing business
rules are clearly understood, database managers can better understand how
programs access data and then optimize the supporting data structures
accordingly.

         LEGACY CAPTURE products facilitate the re-engineering of IMS data
structures to create an implementation-independent model where they can be
reused in new relational database structures. In addition, flat file data
structures from existing COBOL applications can also be re-engineered using
these products. Reverse engineering products support the needs of IS departments
that manage multiple databases, and they also 


                                       11
<PAGE>   12
help accelerate business process re-engineering projects by allowing
organizations to take advantage of business information that is available in
existing systems.

         PRODUCTION DBA provides a seamless interface between Cayenne's database
modeling and design products and BMC Software's CHANGE MANAGER, a
mainframe-based product which coordinates data structure changes among multiple
DB2 subsystems.

         CAYENNE 2000 is a tool to help diagnose Year 2000 challenges. It can
detect date dependencies in single or across multiple COBOL programs, generate
reports on the changes needed and the impact of those changes, and provide an
estimate of the cost to fix the problems. It can also correct certain simple
date dependency problems.

STRUCTURED ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

         TEAMWORK is a family of structured methods products, used by both C++
and Ada developers, which help software engineers improve software quality,
streamline the software development process, and reduce development costs.
Specific Teamwork tools address aspects of development including requirements
analysis, real-time systems development, dynamic verification, structured
design, testcase generation, and document generation.

         VANTAGETEAM is a family of structured method products that enable
relational database developers to build and maintain enterprise client/server   
systems. Its integrated, model-driven environment offers developers a choice of
either structured or object-oriented modeling approach. VantageTeam  features
extensive code-generation capabilities for popular 3GLs and 4GLs, and supports
the leading relational database management systems, including CA-Ingres,
Informix, Oracle and Sybase.

OBJECT ORIENTED TECHNOLOGY

         OBJECTTEAM FOR OMT automates and manages software construction using
the Object Modeling Technique (OMT). It provides a multi-user repository with
version and configuration management, supports the Rumbaugh et al. Object
Modeling Technique, and generates incremental code.

INTERNATIONAL VERSIONS OF CAYENNE PRODUCTS

The Cayenne product set is available worldwide. Products sold internationally
typically include a hardware security key to prevent or reduce the use of       
illegally copied products. (Products for the domestic market use OEM software
to enable concurrent licensing.) Many of Cayenne's products are enabled for
double-byte character sets. This enablement is a prerequisite for translation
into large-character-set languages such as Kanji. Kanji versions of Groundworks 
for OS/2, Groundworks Capture for COBOL, Groundworks Capture for IMS and
Terrain for OS/2 have been created.

RISKS OF INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

         Approximately 63%, 53% and 47% of Cayenne's revenues in fiscal 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively, were attributable to international sales. Cayenne
commenced operations of its German subsidiary, Bachman Information Systems,
GmbH, in November 1990. Cayenne acquired the Cayenne-related business of
Pro-Systems S.A., its distributor in France, in October 1991; all of the stock
of its distributor in the United Kingdom, Bachman Information Systems Limited, 
in November 1991; and the Cayenne-related business of Bachman Italia, S.r.l., 
its distributor in Italy, in January 1992. The Company also commenced 
operations of its Spanish and Singapore subsidiaries in April 1996 and February 
1995, respectively. The future contribution of sales from the foreign
subsidiaries to Cayenne's results of operations depends on Cayenne's success in
maintaining cost-effective direct marketing operations through these
wholly-owned subsidiaries. In September 1994, as part of a restructuring to
reduce expenses, Cayenne reorganized the operations of its German subsidiary.
The Company is in the process of consolidating overlapping subsidiaries it
acquired in connection with the Cadre merger and has acquired subsidiaries in
the Netherlands and Australia in connection therewith.


                                       12
<PAGE>   13
         Approximately 4%, 4% and 6%, of Cayenne's revenue in fiscal 1996, 1995
and 1994 was attributable to sales made to independent international
distributors. Sales in countries in which Cayenne continues to use independent
distributors will remain subject to the distributors' financial condition and
success, which cannot be controlled by Cayenne.

         Risks inherent in Cayenne's international business generally include
exposure to currency fluctuations, longer payment cycles, greater difficulties
in accounts receivable collection and the requirement of complying with a wide
variety of foreign laws. While Cayenne has not experienced any material delays,
expenditures or other adverse consequences in complying with foreign laws to
date, it has been necessary for Cayenne to take steps to protect its proprietary
rights and license its products under local laws from country to country.

CUSTOMERS AND APPLICATIONS

         Cayenne's products are used worldwide by information systems
specialists in a wide variety of business, government, and non-profit
organizations. Generally, the customers are users of computing environments for
data-intensive applications. As of June 30, 1996, Cayenne had licensed over
14,000 copies of its products to over 1,075 customers worldwide across a variety
of industries. With the acquisition of Cadre, the Company has expanded its
customer base to include customers that are generally developers of complex
software systems, covering a wide range of applications in the IS and
"technical" sectors.

         Historically, Cayenne relied significantly on its relationship with IBM
for development and marketing of Cayenne's products. IBM was Cayenne's single
largest customer in each of fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994 when revenue from IBM
(including license and maintenance fees paid by IBM in connection with its own
use of Cayenne products, as well as amounts paid by IBM as a distributor and
systems integrator) accounted for 31%, 20% and 13% of Cayenne's total revenue,
respectively. In January 1993, Cayenne discontinued its membership in the IBM
International Alliances for AD/Cycle, SystemView, and Information Warehouse.
Cayenne and IBM entered into a settlement and release agreement dated June 30,
1993 (the "IBM Settlement Agreement") pursuant to which Cayenne and IBM severed
certain of their remaining relationships. Each party released and discharged the
other party from all known and unknown claims occurring on or prior to June 30,
1993. See, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" for further information.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE

         Cayenne believes that high-quality customer service and technical
support are essential competitive factors in its marketplace. Through its
training, consulting, maintenance, and support services, Cayenne listens to its
customers' needs and provides services that will maximize the results achieved
by customers using Cayenne's products. Maintenance, support, and training also
provide valuable feedback that is used to refine, enhance, and develop Cayenne
products.

         Customers receive maintenance support from a staff of highly
experienced customer specialists via a telephone "hot line". In the past,
software maintenance and support were generally provided without extra charge
for ninety days following the initial licensing of a product. The Company has
changed this practice and generally no longer provides maintenance and support
without charge. Annual maintenance contracts are available for a fixed price per
copy. These customers also receive periodic product upgrades and
feature/function enhancements.

TRAINING AND CONSULTING

        Cayenne provides conceptual and product-oriented training courses for
customers at education facilities in the United States in Atlanta, Burlington
(Massachusetts), Chicago, New York City and Rockville, Maryland as well as in 
Toronto, Canada; Boulogne-Billancourt, France; Turin, Italy; Munich, Germany; 
and Bracknell, England. Cayenne's international distributors provide training
and consulting to customers in their territories. Courses are also available to
be customized and delivered at customer sites.

         The Company provides professional services delivered by experienced
consultants. These offerings are designed to promote customer success in the
planning, implementation, and ongoing use of Cayenne's software products.
Cayenne's consultants provide a number of services for organizations making
transitions into client/server technology, including designing relational
databases, establishing a client/server architecture, and facilitating the
creation of productive development processes.

MARKETING AND SALES

         Cayenne markets its products to Fortune 1000 companies, government
agencies, and organizations of similar size worldwide that use computers and
software for data-intensive and transaction-intensive applications. Cayenne
seeks to promote acceptance of its products among technical personnel, as well
as at the management level. Cayenne markets its products through a direct sales
force in the United States and through wholly-owned 


                                       14
<PAGE>   15
subsidiaries in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands,
Singapore, Spain and the United Kingdom. Distributors, agents and other
resellers market Cayenne's products in over 40 other countries.

         Cayenne promotes a team selling approach in which telemarketing,
corporate sales, and field sales representatives work together to identify,
qualify, inform, and sell to prospective customers.

         In conjunction with its expansion into the client/server development
marketplace and in an effort to promote distribution through alternate channels,
Cayenne has been actively engaged in evaluating alternate distribution channels
such as value-added resellers ("VARs") and system integrators worldwide. At the
end of fiscal 1995, Cayenne and Seer entered into a joint development and joint
distribution agreement. Cayenne will integrate its modeling and database design
tools with Seer's Freeway repository, and will resell the repository. Seer will
resell Cayenne's database design tools.

         Cayenne's marketing program includes advertising, public relations,
promotional materials, direct mail, seminars, consultant briefings, user
meetings, trade shows and telemarketing. The focus of these efforts is to
position Cayenne and the value of Cayenne's solutions to customers as well as
industry influencers. Cayenne's senior technical personnel frequently
participate in industry conferences that increase customer awareness of
Cayenne's products and its technological innovations. In fiscal 1996 and 1995,
Cayenne pursued a focused marketing campaign to increase awareness of the value
of Cayenne's solutions in client/server environments. Cayenne has also joined
Sybase, Inc.'s Warehouse WORKS data warehouse program and will maintain
compatibility with Sybase data warehouse offerings and participate in joint
marketing activities.

         Cayenne regards its customer service and support organization as an
integral complement to its corporate strategy. Cayenne believes that its
reputation for strong after-sale support has helped the Company achieve
additional sales, as well as contributing to a high level of customer
satisfaction.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND MANUFACTURING

         To date, a significant majority of Cayenne's software products have
been developed internally by its employees and consultants. As a result of the
Company's acquisition of Cadre in July 1996, Cayenne now supports development 
and manufacturing for a family of structured analysis and design and object-
oriented products. In developing new products and enhancements, Cayenne uses an
integrated engineering approach that emphasizes market-driven quality and
customer satisfaction. This approach incorporates the perspectives of customers
and functional experts, as well as personnel in the areas of marketing, sales,
software engineering, quality assurance, documentation, and customer support.

         Cayenne's research and development staff has significant expertise in
the technologies bearing on development of software tools, including personal
workstations, mainframe systems, graphics, expert systems, database design,
enterprise modeling, systems analysis, code generators, interface design,
operating systems, networks, and language/compiler skills. Cayenne uses its
product set in the design of future product enhancements and in the development
and deployment of the Company's own internal information systems. In fiscal
1995, Cayenne entered into an agreement to develop, maintain and enhance certain
of Cayenne's products in India allowing Cayenne to realize savings in
development costs while maintaining control over the product development
process.

         The products developed and enhancements added by Cayenne are determined
by Cayenne's assessment of market revenue, growth opportunity, and return on
investment, tempered by the technical feasibility of the innovation, and the
need to maintain the highest levels of product quality and customer
satisfaction. Market opportunity is assessed by a combination of direct market
and customer research, by access to opinion leaders in technology, by working
along side customers to define their most productive development methodologies,
and by working with customer development partners to manage projects involving
substantial innovation and requiring supplementary funding.

         The Company's future financial performance will depend in part on the
successful development and introduction of new products and enhancements to
existing products, and customer acceptance of these products. 


                                       15
<PAGE>   16
Many software companies have experienced delays in completing the development of
new products and there can be no assurance that the Company will not encounter
difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful introduction and
marketing of new and enhanced versions of its products.

         During fiscal 1996, 1995, and 1994, Cayenne spent $7,665,000 $8,676,000
and $10,771,00 respectively, on internal product development, and did not
capitalize any software costs. Also during fiscal 1994, a charge for purchased
research and development of $1,736,000 was recorded upon the closing of the
acquisition of Cooperative Solutions, Inc.

COMPETITION

         The market for application design and development products is highly
competitive and characterized by continual change and improvement in
technology. The list of Cayenne's principal competitors in sales situations
depends on several factors including the solution area, whether the focus is
mainframe or client/server development, and whether the customer seeks
strategic or tactical solutions. Cayenne's principal competitors in the
modeling and database design market include LogicWorks, Inc., Intersolv, Inc.,
and Texas Instruments, Incorporated. In the process management market, LBMS,
Inc. serves similar needs to the Company's Serveyor product.  Cayenne faces
additional competition with its entry into the CASE market occupied by Cadre.
The CASE market is characterized by rapid change and frequent introduction of
new products. In the Structured technical market, Cayenne's primary competitor
is Interactive Development Environments, Inc. ("IDE"). In the object-oriented
market, Cayenne's primary competitors are Rational Software Corp., Platinum
Technology, Inc. and IDE. Many other companies produce products that compete
with Cayenne and still others might become competitors in the future. As
Cayenne expands its product line into new solution areas it is encountering
additional competitors. Many of Cayenne's existing and potential competitors
have substantially greater financial, marketing, and technological resources
than Cayenne.

         The principal competitive factors that have affected the market for
Cayenne's products include responsiveness to customer needs, product function,
product reliability, product ease of use, product openness, quality of customer
training and support, vendor reputation, relationships with other vendors, and
price. A variety of external and internal events and circumstances could
adversely affect Cayenne's competitive capacity in the future. Cayenne's ability
to be competitive will depend, to a great extent, on performance in product
development and in sales and marketing. To be successful in the future, Cayenne
must respond promptly and effectively to the challenges of technological change
and its competitors' innovations by continually enhancing its own product
offerings and ensuring that the market is aware of the solutions Cayenne offers.

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS PROTECTION

         Cayenne relies on a combination of copyright, trade secret, patent and
trademark laws and license agreements to protect its proprietary rights in
technology. Cayenne distributes its products under signed software license
agreements which grant customers a perpetual, non-exclusive license to Cayenne's
products subject to restrictions on copying, disclosure, usage, decompiling and
transferability. The source code for all of Cayenne's products is protected as a
trade secret and as an unpublished copyrighted work. In addition, Cayenne has
entered into nondisclosure and invention agreements with each of its key
technical employees. All products are delivered as object code. International
products are usually delivered with the addition of an electronic hardware "key"
to hinder the use of unauthorized copies.

         Charles W. Bachman has assigned to Cayenne a patent on certain
technology used in its products, United States Patent 4,631,664, "Partnership
Data Base Management System and Method." This patent covers the unique internal
formats used to store design information in many of Cayenne's products. Mr.
Bachman and other inventors have also assigned to Cayenne patents with respect
to the systems used in certain Cayenne products for dynamically modeling
organizational information systems (United States Patent 5,146,591, "Dynamic
Information Management System Utilizing Entity-Relationship Information Model in
which the Attribute is Independent of an Entity") and for processing complex
information representative of business transactions (United States Patent
5,179,698, "System for Transforming User Data in Accordance with an Algorithm
Defined by Design Data and for Evaluating the Transformed Data Against Logical
Criteria"). Seven additional patents have been granted by the United States
Patent and Trademark Office (the "PTO") pertaining to technology used in
Cayenne's products. In addition, patent applications filed in April and December
1991 (derived from filings under the Patent Cooperation 



                                       16
<PAGE>   17
Treaty) are pending before the Canadian, Japanese and European patent offices.
These applications are directed to the subject matter of all of the above
referenced Cayenne patents except U.S. Patent 4,631,664. In connection with its
acquisition of WindTunnel Software, Inc. ("Windtunnel") Cayenne acquired rights
to certain patent applications pending with the PTO pertaining to the
technology used in the WindTunnel product. The PTO has rejected some of the
claims of those applications on the bases, among others, of prior art with
respect to the technology involved. In view of the probable expense and
difficulty of   overcoming the rejections, the uncertainty of the probable
outcome, and the availability of other means such as copyright, trademark and
trade secret law to protect the Company's rights in the technology, Cayenne has
decided not to pursue prosecution of the WindTunnel patent applications. There
can be no assurance that a patent will be issued in respect of any of that
application or, if it is, that it will provide meaningful protection to
Cayenne.

         Despite the steps taken by Cayenne to protect its proprietary rights,
it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy aspects of Cayenne's
products, to develop similar technology independently or to obtain and use
information that Cayenne regards as proprietary. Cayenne believes that, because
of the rapid pace of technological change in the software industry, patent,
trade secret and copyright protection is less significant to Cayenne's
competitive position than factors such as the knowledge, ability and experience
of Cayenne's personnel, new product development, frequent product enhancements,
name recognition and ongoing reliable product maintenance support.

         As of the date hereof, Cayenne has not received any claim alleging that
any of Cayenne's products infringes proprietary rights of any third party
seeking indemnification for such an infringement, and Cayenne does not know of
any basis for such a claim. If any such claim were to be asserted, it might
involve costly and protracted litigation. No assurance can be given that Cayenne
would be successful in any such litigation or that, if it were not successful,
it would be able to license the disputed proprietary rights on commercially
reasonable terms.

SEASONALITY AND BACKLOG

         The Company's quarterly results are subject to fluctuations resulting
from a variety of factors, including the effects of domestic and international
economic conditions, budgetary considerations and spending patterns of
customers, the Company's sales compensation plan, the timing of large individual
orders, new product introductions, and recognition of fees in connection with
license, development and similar agreements. The Company typically realizes a
larger percentage of its software product license revenues in the second and
fourth quarters of each fiscal year, with traditionally its lowest product
license revenues occurring in the first quarter of each fiscal year. This
seasonality results in part from budgetary considerations and spending patterns
of the Company's customer base and the Company's sales commission plan, which
compensates sales personnel for achieving or exceeding annual quotas. In
addition, a major portion of each quarter's product license revenues is
typically realized in the last month of the quarter. As a result of the factors
discussed above, the Company's operating results for any one quarter are not
necessarily indicative of results for any future period.

         While the length of the sales cycle varies, Cayenne typically does not
have a significant backlog, and substantially all of its product revenues in any
quarter result from sales made in that quarter.

EMPLOYEES

         As of August 31, 1996, Cayenne employed 375 people worldwide on a full
time basis. No employees are represented by a labor union. Cayenne has not
experienced any work stoppages and believes its relations with employees are
good. Cayenne believes that its future success will depend in part on its
continued ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel in a
competitive market for experienced and talented software developers and sales
and marketing personnel.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

         Cayenne's executive offices, principal research and development
facilities, and principal marketing, customer service and support and production
facilities are located in approximately 50,000 square feet of space in 



                                       17
<PAGE>   18
an executive office park in Burlington, Massachusetts. Cayenne occupies that
space under a lease expiring October 31, 1997. Cayenne maintains its primary
sales and support offices in nine locations in the United States, and its
distribution subsidiaries have offices in Toronto, Canada; Bracknell, England;
Boulogne-Billancourt, France; Munich, Germany; Singapore; Madrid, Spain; Delft,
Netherlands; Canberra, Australia; and Florence, Milan, Rome, and Turin, Italy.

         Cayenne believes that its current facilities are sufficient for its
current operations and that those facilities will continue to provide adequate
space for Cayenne's operations in the foreseeable future.

(1) Beginning in fiscal 1995 IBM is no longer considered a related party. The
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to fiscal 1995
presentation.

(2) For this computation, in fiscal 1992 previously outstanding preferred stock
has been reflected at the beginning of the period issued as Cayenne common stock
outstanding for all periods presented. All outstanding shares of Cayenne's
preferred stock were converted into Cayenne common stock in the second quarter
of fiscal 1992.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

         On July 18, 1996, the Company completed its acquisition of Cadre
Technologies Inc. ("Cadre") under an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March
25, 1996, by and among the Company, Cadre and B.C. Acquisition Corp., whereby
the Company agreed to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Cadre in  
exchange for 4,716,442 shares of Cayenne common stock (the "merger"). The
merger is expected to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests beginning in
the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Additionally, effective upon the merger, the
Company changed its name to Cayenne Software, Inc. The Company acquired Cadre
to expand its product offerings to include structured analysis and design and
object-oriented technology and to expand its customer base. During the quarter
ended June 30, 1996, the Company incurred expenses of approximately $.6 million
principally related to advertising and promotion of the Company's new name and
product strategy and $1.1 million related to the discontinuance of products
not strategic to the Company's core business.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K may contain forward-looking statements. For this
purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical
fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the
foregoing, the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," and similar

number of important factors that could cause the Company's actual results to
differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. These
factors include, without limitation, those set forth below under the caption
"Factors That May Affect Future Results."

         Cayenne's operating results for the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and
1994 were significantly adversely affected by the continuing market trends of
Cayenne customers moving from mainframe development towards client/server and
similar computing platforms, together with Cayenne's efforts to respond to those
trends.

         In particular, Cayenne's business operations in fiscal 1994 were
significantly adversely affected by the severing of substantially all of its
relationships with IBM. Cayenne historically relied significantly on its
relationship with IBM for development and marketing of Cayenne's products. Prior
to fiscal 1993, Cayenne's products were designed primarily for organizations
that employ IBM and IBM-compatible mainframe computers, the MVS operating system
and the DB2 relational database management system. As a result, the market for
Cayenne's products has been directly affected by declines in the acceptance of
those IBM and IBM-compatible products. Prior to January 1993, Cayenne was a
member of IBM's International Alliances for AD/Cycle, SystemView and Information
Warehouse. Cayenne also maintained a close technical relationship with IBM,
which provided Cayenne with access to technical information concerning certain
current and planned developments in IBM products and systems. IBM marketed
Cayenne's products in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and Austria prior
to July 1993, and continues to be a non-exclusive distributor of Cayenne's
products in certain Asia-Pacific countries and Switzerland.

         While Cayenne expects that its broadened focus will benefit Cayenne in
the long-term, there can be no assurance that the foregoing events will not
materially adversely affect either the success with which Cayenne develops,
supports and sells products for use with IBM and IBM-compatible computers and
systems or the extent to which IBM continues to be a customer of Cayenne. The
foregoing events may limit Cayenne's ability to compete as effectively in the
IBM and IBM-compatible market, particularly with companies that continue to be
members of IBM's International Alliances.

         Historically, Cayenne relied significantly on its relationship with IBM
for development and marketing of Cayenne's products. IBM was Cayenne's single
largest customer in each of fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994 when revenue from IBM
(including license and maintenance fees paid by IBM in connection with its own
use of Cayenne products, as well as amounts paid by IBM as a distributor and
systems integrator) accounted for 31%, 20% and 13% of Cayenne's total revenue,
respectively.

         REVENUES

         As the Company continues its migration from providing tools focused
solely on mainframe application development to supporting customers' needs for a
more open and flexible set of solutions aimed at the growing client/server
market, it faces many challenges. The Company has addressed some of these
challenges during the past two fiscal years by introducing additional products
targeted at the client/server market. The Company plans to continue to enhance
its product offerings through development efforts, strategic alliances and
acquisitions to improve its competitive position. The actions necessary to
execute this transition have had an adverse effect on the Company's operating
results during fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994. In July 1996, the Company acquired
Cadre, thereby expanding its product offerings and customer base.

         Cayenne's revenues currently are derived from three sources: (i) fees
for the perpetual license of Cayenne's proprietary software products, (ii) fees
from sales of consulting and education services, and (iii) maintenance fees for
maintaining, supporting and providing periodic upgrades of Cayenne's software
products.

1996 COMPARED TO 1995

      SOFTWARE LICENSES. Software license revenue for fiscal 1996 amounted to
$12,658,000 compared to $11,264,000 for fiscal 1995, an increase of 12%. This
increase resulted primarily from a series of significant orders in the quarter
ended December 31, 1995 from a major Italian systems integrator for the
Company's mainframe based products. These orders accounted for approximately 19%
of total software license revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.
Revenue continues to be impacted by aggressive efforts of Cayenne customers to
move away from traditional, centralized mainframe development towards
client/server and similar computing platforms.

      Client/server product license revenue accounted for 40% of license revenue
for the year ended June 30, 1996, compared to 16% for the year ended June 30,
1995. Client/server product license revenue represented approximately 62% of
software license revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 versus 25% for the
comparable period of the prior fiscal year. These results reflect the continued
market trend in the United States to migrate from mainframe to client/server
environments. The Company's client/server products were introduced during the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.

      Cayenne typically does not grant to its customers a contractual right to
return software products. Accordingly, no provision for estimated returns is
generally recorded at the time of sale. When approved by management, however,
Cayenne has accepted returns of certain software products and has provided an
allowance for those specific products. Cayenne's return experience for fiscal
1996 and 1995 was approximately $350,000 and $261,000 respectively. Cayenne does
not license its software products with any warranty provisions, and accordingly
has not accrued any related warranty expense.

         CONSULTING AND EDUCATION SERVICES. Total consulting and education
revenue in fiscal 1996 decreased over the preceding year by $1,419,000 or 14%.
Consulting and education revenue in Italy increased 20%, while United States
revenue declined by approximately 42% for the year ended June 30, 1996 compared
to the prior fiscal year. The increase in consulting and education revenue in
Italy is attributable to increased demand for the Company's consulting services
from its increased customer base and mainframe sales. The decrease in the United
States consulting and education revenue is attributable to decreased demand
together with reduced staffing in this area. Training courses are offered for
each of Cayenne's major products. Typically, consulting and education revenue
follows the trend of software license revenue and, therefore, the decline in
license revenue experienced in the United States has caused the consulting and
education revenue also to decline in fiscal 1996 from fiscal 1995.

         MAINTENANCE. Maintenance revenue for annual maintenance contracts is
deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. The increase in
maintenance revenue in Italy resulted from increased penetration of the
international markets along with an increase in the portion of the customer base
that renewed maintenance contracts. The decrease in maintenance revenue in the
United States resulted primarily from the aforementioned market place migration
to client/server tools and fewer customers renewing their maintenance contracts
on mainframe based tools. The aggressive migration from mainframe to
client/server products has resulted in an increased number of customers not
renewing their maintenance contracts. The Company's client/server products were
introduced late in fiscal 1995 and have not offset the mainframe decline.

         COST OF REVENUE. Cayenne's cost of software licenses includes product
packaging, documentation and media, as well as the amortization of capitalized
software development costs. Cost of consulting and education services and
maintenance includes personnel, travel and occupancy costs connected with
providing such services.

         Costs of software licenses were $1,216,000 and $2,050,000 for fiscal
1996 and 1995, respectively. Included in cost of software licenses was
amortization of capitalized internally developed software costs of $0 and
$616,000 for fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively. Fiscal year 1995 also included
approximately $600,000 in software product royalties to third parties versus
$452,000 in fiscal 1996. Royalties are paid on certain products which the
Company distributes for third parties.

         Capitalized software expenses are amortized over the estimated useful
life of the products capitalized (generally two years, five years in the case of
WindTunnel). As a result, amortized amounts are generally not tied directly to
software license revenue in any particular period, causing fluctuations in the
cost of software license revenue as a percentage of related software license
revenue. Cost of software licenses as a percentage of related software license
revenue was 10% and 18% for fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.

         The cost of consulting, education and maintenance as a percentage of
related revenue decreased to 40% in fiscal 1996 from 45% in fiscal 1995. The
decrease in the cost of consulting, education and maintenance was principally
caused by decreased costs in North America as the Company adjusted staffing
levels to more closely align with demand.

         SALES AND MARKETING. For fiscal 1996, sales and marketing expense
decreased by approximately $1,802,000 or 11% from fiscal 1995. In fiscal 1996,  
sales and marketing expense as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 48%
from 51% the previous year primarily because of reduced marketing activities
and reduced headcount. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 the Company had
increased marketing costs of approximately $600,000 principally related to
advertising and promotion of the Company's new name and product strategy. This
compares to $629,000 of costs incurred in fiscal 1995 related to the launch of
the Company's new products together with the Company's user conference held in
September 1994.

         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Cayenne's belief that product and technical
leadership are critical to its success has resulted in a high level of
expenditures for product research and development. In fiscal 1996, the Company
focused the majority of its research and development resources on porting its
current products to new platforms and development of new products targeted at
the client/server market. Research and development expense decreased by
approximately $1,011,000 or 12% from fiscal 1995 to 1996 and also decreased as a
percentage of revenue to 24% in fiscal 1996 versus 26% in fiscal 1995. This
decrease is due primarily to reduced spending on the Ellipse and WindTunnel
products, both of which are no longer considered strategic to the Company. The
consolidation of the San Jose and Burlington facilities completed in late 1995
has also contributed to the lower expense base.

         GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expense as a
percentage of total revenue amounted to 13% in both fiscal year 1996 and 1995.
Expenses remained relatively flat for the year ended June 30, 1996 compared to
the prior fiscal year.

         RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER COSTS. Based on the results of fiscal year
1996, and in conjunction with the contemplated merger between Cayenne and Cadre,
the Company reviewed its product strategy and determined that several products
including WindTunnel were no longer consistent with the Company's objectives.
Accordingly, the Company evaluated the net realizable value of the related
intangible assets and recorded a charge of approximately $1,125,000 principally
related to the writeoff of the intangible asset acquired as part of its
acquisition of WindTunnel Software, Inc. ("WindTunnel"). (See, also, Note 13.)

         Following the completion of certain significant development efforts and
associated product introductions, the Company effected a restructuring on
September 29, 1994 to streamline its operations and better align expenses with
revenue. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $2,000,000 during the
three months ended 


                                       26
<PAGE>   27

<TABLE>

September 30, 1994. The restructuring included a charge of approximately
$1,500,000 in termination charges resulting from a 20% reduction in staff
(approximately 70 employees). Prior to the execution of this restructuring, the
Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to terminate certain specified
employees and close certain facilities. Such plan was communicated to the
employees of the Company prior to the end of the quarter and such employees were
specifically identified and terminated. The termination benefits to such
employees were consistent with the Company's written severance policy and
agreements. The restructuring also included approximately $300,000 in related
facilities expense associated with the closure of the Company's San Jose,
California development facility. The Company also reorganized the operations of
its German subsidiary by reducing its facilities and staff and is pursuing
distribution arrangements in that territory. As part of the restructuring, the
Company also evaluated the value of certain contracts based on a number of
factors including business plans, budgets, economic projections and market
analysis. Based on a review of these factors, the Company determined to cancel
certain contracts. The termination costs associated with those contracts
amounted to approximately $200,000 and are included in the restructuring charge.
At June 30, 1996, the Company believes it has met all obligations with regard to
the restructuring.

</TABLE>

         In addition to the factors listed above, the operations of Cayenne's
international subsidiaries significantly affected its results of operations in
fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994.

         For fiscal 1996, the loss from United States and Rest of World
operations decreased by approximately $3,671,000 and $767,000, respectively,
primarily due to reduced headcount and other cost control measures
implemented by the Company. For fiscal 1996, Italian operations were profitable
by $336,000 compared to a loss of $540,000 in fiscal 1995. This increase in
profitability of the Italian subsidiary is attributable to a series of
significant orders from a large systems integrator received during the second
quarter of fiscal year 1996. Included in the fiscal 1995 results of operations
is $2,000,000 of restructuring charges, approximately $1,700,000 in the United
States, $240,000 in Rest of World and $60,000 in Italy.

         INTEREST INCOME, NET

         Interest income, net decreased in fiscal 1996 compared to fiscal 1995
due primarily to lower rates earned on balances available for investment.

         PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

         Because of the operating losses for fiscal 1996 and 1995, the tax
provision for those periods are composed mostly of foreign withholding taxes and
income taxes related to the profitability of certain foreign subsidiaries.

         At June 30, 1996, the Company had a deferred tax asset of approximately
$23,000,000, composed principally of net operating loss carryforwards, which was
offset fully by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of realization.

1995 COMPARED TO 1994

      SOFTWARE LICENSES. Software license revenue for fiscal 1995 amounted to
$11,264,000 compared to $15,807,000 for fiscal 1994, a decrease of 29%. This
decrease resulted primarily from continued aggressive efforts by Cayenne
customers to move rapidly away from traditional, centralized mainframe
development towards client/server and similar computing platforms. These efforts
directly affected Cayenne's DB2/DBA and Analyst products worldwide, for which
revenues in fiscal 1995 decreased by approximately $1,900,000 and $2,100,000,
respectively, from fiscal 1994. These decreases in the Company's mainframe
focused products were offset somewhat by approximately $1,000,000 contributed by
the Company's GroundWorks and Terrain products which are two of the Company's
new client/server products released in late fiscal 1995. Software license
revenue for fiscal 1995 was also impacted by a reduction of approximately
$550,000 in the Company's allowance for sales returns based on management's
assessment of the Company's sales returns history and trends. Included in
software license revenue for fiscal 1995 is a significant order of approximately
$1,100,000 from an international customer. There were no similar large orders in
the prior fiscal year.

      Cayenne typically does not grant to its customers a contractual right to
return software products. Accordingly, no provision for estimated returns is
generally recorded at the time of sale. When approved by management, however,
Cayenne has accepted returns of certain software products and has provided an
allowance for those specific products. Cayenne's return experience for fiscal
1995 and 1994 was approximately $261,000 and $325,000 respectively. Cayenne does
not license its software products with any warranty provisions, and accordingly
has not accrued any related warranty expense.

         CONSULTING AND EDUCATION. Total consulting and education revenue in
fiscal 1995 increased over the preceding year by $1,377,000 or 15% due to the
increased number and use of courses and services available to Cayenne's larger
customer base in the Company's international subsidiaries. The increases in
consulting and education revenue in Italy and Rest of World are also
attributable to the addition of several long-term consulting contracts. Training
courses are offered for each of Cayenne's major products. Typically, consulting
and education revenue follows the trend of software license revenue and,
therefore, the decline in license revenue experienced in the United States has
caused the consulting and education revenue also to decline in fiscal 1995 from
fiscal 1994.

         MAINTENANCE. Maintenance revenue for annual maintenance contracts is
deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. The increase in
maintenance revenue in Italy and Rest of World resulted from increased
penetration of the international markets along with an increase in the portion
of the customer base that renewed maintenance contracts. The decrease in
maintenance revenue in the United States resulted primarily from the
aforementioned market place migration to client/server tools and fewer customers
renewing their maintenance contracts on mainframe based tools. The Company's
client/server products were introduced late in fiscal 1995 and therefore there
is minimal maintenance revenue from those products to offset the mainframe
decline.


                                       28
<PAGE>   29
         COST OF REVENUE. Cayenne's cost of software licenses includes product
packaging, documentation and media, as well as the amortization of capitalized
software development costs. Cost of consulting and education services and
maintenance includes personnel, travel and occupancy costs connected with
providing such services.

        Costs of software licenses were $2,050,000 and $2,021,000 for fiscal
1995 and 1994, respectively. Fiscal 1995 and 1994 included the amortization of
approximately $455,000 and $379,000 of purchased software related to the
September 1993 acquisition of WindTunnel Software, Inc. ("Windtunnel").  Fiscal
1994 included the write-off of $250,000 of certain prepaid software royalties.
Included in cost of software licenses was amortization of capitalized software
development costs of $616,000 and $1,044,000 for fiscal 1995 and 1994,
respectively. Fiscal year 1995 also included approximately $600,000 in software
product royalties to third parties versus $67,000 in Fiscal 1994. Royalties are
paid on certain products which the Company distributes for third parties.

         Capitalized software expenses are amortized over the estimated useful
life of the products capitalized (generally two years, five years in the case of
WindTunnel). As a result, amortized amounts are generally not tied directly to
software license revenue in any particular period, causing fluctuations in the
cost of software license revenue as a percentage of related software license
revenue. Cost of software licenses as a percentage of related software license
revenue was 18% and 13% for fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively.

         The cost of consulting, education and maintenance as a percentage of
related revenue increased to 45% in fiscal 1995 from 40% in fiscal 1994. The
increase in the cost of consulting, education and maintenance was principally
caused by increased international costs as the international subsidiaries
increased staff and the use of third party consultants to meet the demand from
several long-term consulting contracts.

         SALES AND MARKETING. For fiscal 1995, sales and marketing expense
decreased by approximately $3,300,000 or 16% from fiscal 1994. In fiscal 1995,
sales and marketing expense as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 51%
from 56% the previous year due to better alignment of sales and marketing
staffing and projected revenues. This decrease was due principally to reduced
headcount effected through the restructurings in the first quarter of fiscal
1995 along with a move in North America towards telesales and away from direct
field sales efforts. In fiscal 1995 and 1994, Cayenne began promoting a team
selling approach in which telemarketing, corporate sales, and field sales
representatives work together to identify, qualify, inform, and sell to
prospective customers.

         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Cayenne's belief that product and technical
leadership are critical to its success has resulted in a high level of
expenditures for product research and development. In fiscal 1995, the 



                                       29
<PAGE>   30
Company focused its research and development resources on porting its current
products to new platforms, continued development of the WindTunnel and Ellipse
products and development of new products targeted at the client/server market.
Research and development expense decreased by approximately $2,100,000 or 19%
from fiscal 1994 to 1995 and also decreased as a percentage of revenue to 26% in
fiscal 1995 versus 30% in fiscal 1994. This decrease is due primarily to reduced
spending on the Ellipse product, and the addition of agreements with certain
development partners whose funding offset approximately $460,000 of development
expense. During fiscal 1995, the Company closed its San Jose facility and
consolidated all research and development in Burlington, Massachusetts. Expenses
were also reduced in other areas of research and development effected through
the restructuring in September 1994.

         GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expense
decreased to $4,253,000 in fiscal 1995 from $4,989,000 in fiscal 1994, a
decrease of $736,000 or 15%. The reduction is due primarily to a decrease in
goodwill amortization of approximately $400,000, along with continued expense
controls in the Company's administrative areas.

         RESTRUCTURING COSTS. Following the completion of certain significant
development efforts and associated product introductions, the Company effected a
restructuring on September 29, 1994 to streamline its operations and better
align expenses with revenue. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of
$2,000,000 during the three months ended September 30, 1994. The restructuring
included a charge of approximately $1,500,000 in termination charges resulting
from a 20% reduction in staff (approximately 70 employees). Prior to the
execution of this restructuring, the Board of Directors of the Company approved
a plan to terminate certain specified employees and close certain facilities.
Such plan was communicated to the employees of the Company prior to the end of
the quarter and such employees were specifically identified and terminated. The
termination benefits to such employees were consistent with the Company's
written severance policy and agreements. The restructuring also included
approximately $300,000 in related facilities expense associated with the closure
of the Company's San Jose, California development facility. The Company also
reorganized the operations of its German subsidiary by reducing its facilities
and staff and is pursuing distribution arrangements in that territory. As part
of the restructuring, the Company also evaluated the value of certain contracts
based on a number of factors including business plans, budgets, economic
projections and market analysis. Based on a review of these factors, the Company
determined to cancel certain contracts. The termination costs associated with
those contracts amounted to approximately $200,000 and are included in the
restructuring charge. The Company believes the accrued restructuring balance of
$90,000 at June 30, 1995 represents its cash obligations, principally employee
related and facilities costs, significantly all of which are expected to be
disbursed by the end of fiscal 1996.

        CHARGE FOR PURCHASED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. In November 1993, the
Company acquired substantially all the assets of Cooperative Solutions, Inc. 
("CSI") of San Jose, California, including its product line, research and 
development efforts, and employee and customer bases in exchange for assuming
certain liabilities. The purchase price, which was equal to the liabilities
assumed, was approximately $2.2 million. The acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase. The purchase price first was allocated to tangible assets based on
their fair market values. The remaining purchase price was allocated to
purchased research and development for software which has not reached
technological feasibility and has no alternative future use. A charge for
purchased research and development of $1.7 million was recorded upon the
closing of the acquisition in the Company's fiscal quarter ended December 31,
1993.


                                       30
<PAGE>   31
         In addition to the factors listed above, the operations of Cayenne's
international subsidiaries significantly affected its results of operations in
fiscal 1995 and 1994.

         For fiscal 1995, the loss from Rest of World operations increased by
approximately $223,000 to $3,909,000. For fiscal 1995, the loss from Italian
operations increased by $88,000, to $540,000 versus $452,000 in fiscal 1994.
This increase is attributable to reduced software license revenue and start up
costs associated with several long-term consulting contracts. Included in the
results of operations for fiscal 1995 is $2,000,000 of restructuring charges,
approximately $1,700,000 in the United States, $240,000 in Rest of World and
$60,000 in Italy.

         INTEREST INCOME, NET

         Interest income, net increased in fiscal 1995 compared to fiscal 1994
due primarily to higher rates earned on balances available for investment.

         PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

         Because of the operating losses for fiscal 1995 and 1994, the tax
provision for those periods are composed mostly of foreign withholding taxes and
income taxes related to the profitability of certain subsidiaries.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As of June 30, 1996 the Company's principal sources of liquidity
included cash and cash equivalents aggregating $11,549,000 and a secured bank
line of credit in the amount of $4,000,000 discussed below. Cash and cash
equivalents increased by $3,344,000 compared to fiscal 1995. For fiscal 1996,
cash flows were principally affected by the loss from operations and were offset
by proceeds of approximately $6.0 million from the Company's private placement
in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The Company's principal long-term cash
commitments are for office space operating leases.

         On June 30, 1996, Cayenne had no material commitments for capital
expenditures.

         On June 6, 1996, the Company amended and restated its revolving credit
agreement with a bank to borrow up to $4,000,000, increasing to $5,000,000 upon
achievement of profitability. The Company extended the term of such agreement
through October 5, 1996 and revised certain of the financial and operating
covenants as well as the borrowing base thereunder. The loan is contingent upon
meeting certain financial and operating covenants at the time of any borrowing
and over the life of the loan, including profitability of $250,000 in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1996, for which the Company obtained a waiver of compliance.
The loan is secured by all of the assets of the Company and any borrowing
amounts are tied to a percentage of qualified accounts receivable outstanding at
the time of any borrowing. The financial covenants include the attainment of
certain specified levels of consolidated net income (loss) at the end of each
quarter, tangible net worth (generally defined as the excess of tangible net
assets of the Company over total liabilities (excluding any outstanding
redeemable preferred stock)) at the end of each quarter and month, and liquidity
(generally defined as cash and cash equivalents plus eligible domestic accounts
receivable and eligible international accounts receivable less any indebtedness
to the bank) at the end of each month. The Company was in compliance with all
covenants as waived at June 30, 1996. At June 30, 1996, the borrowing base under
the revolving credit agreement was approximately $1,723,000. The Company is
concluding negotiations with the bank to amend and extend its credit agreement
through October 5, 1997, to establish certain of the financial and operating
covenants as well as the borrowing base thereunder similar to those set forth
above and to set the borrowing limit at $5,000,000.

         On July 18, 1996, the Company received shareholder approval to merge
with Cadre of Providence, Rhode Island. In connection with the merger the
Company issued 4,716,442 shares of Cayenne common stock for all of 



                                       31
<PAGE>   32
the outstanding capital stock of Cadre. The transaction is expected to be
accounted for as a pooling-of-interests for accounting purposes beginning in the
first quarter of fiscal year 1997. The combined companies expect to incur
charges to operations estimated between $6 million to $7 million during the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 to reflect costs associated with combining the
operations of the two companies, transaction fees and other costs incident to
the merger. Included in the estimated charge is approximately $1.6 million of
employee related termination expenses, $1.5 million of legal, accounting, broker
and other professional fees, $1.5 million of facility closure and consolidation
expenses, and $2.4 million of other miscellaneous expenses associated with the
consolidation of the two companies and the Company name change. In conjunction
with the merger, the Company guaranteed a $1,500,000 advance made to Cadre by
Silicon Valley Bank which was applied against the Company's borrowing base under
its credit agreement.

         With the additional $6.0 million the Company raised in its September
1995 private placement and its revolving credit agreement, the Company
anticipates that existing cash balances and funds generated from operations will
provide sufficient cash resources to finance its current operations, including
Cadre, and projected capital expenditures through fiscal 1997. Thereafter, the
Company's cash requirements will depend upon the results of future operations,
including the impact of the Cadre acquisition, which cannot be foreseen. There
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to meet its loan covenants,
achieve its operating plan and return to profitability, and the failure to do so
may have a material adverse impact on the Company's business and operations. The
Company expects to incur a significant loss from operations in the first quarter
of fiscal 1997 which will include an estimated $6 million to $7 million in
charges discussed above associated with its acquisition of Cadre completed in
July 1996.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of",
which is effective for the Company's fiscal year 1997. This statement requires
that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used
by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. The Company believes the effect of adopting this statement will not
be material.

         In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" which is effective for the Company's fiscal year 1997. The Company
has determined that it will elect the disclosure-only alternative. The Company
will be required to disclose the pro forma net income or loss and per share
amounts in the notes to the financial statements using the fair value based
method beginning in fiscal 1997 with comparable disclosures for fiscal 1996. The
Company has not determined the impact of these pro forma adjustments.

FOREIGN CURRENCY

         All of Cayenne's foreign sales, other than those of its foreign
subsidiaries, are invoiced and collected in United States dollars. Cayenne
experienced no significant gains or losses on foreign currency transactions or
translations in fiscal 1996, 1995 or 1994. No assurance can be given, however,
that it will not experience such material affects subsequent to June 30, 1996.

INFLATION

         To date, inflation has not had a material impact on Cayenne's revenues
or income.

QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE

         Cayenne's revenues vary from quarter to quarter; historically, the
largest portion of Cayenne's revenue has been recognized in the fourth quarter
of a fiscal year. The first quarter is traditionally Cayenne's slowest quarter.
In the normal course of events, Cayenne may realize lower revenue in the first
quarter than in the preceding quarter and also could realize lower revenue in
the third quarter than in the preceding second quarter. Cayenne has also
frequently recognized more revenue in the last month of each quarter than in
either of the preceding two months. Cayenne believes these quarterly and monthly
patterns have been partly attributable to Cayenne's sales commission policies,
which compensate sales personnel for meeting or exceeding annual quotas, and to
the budgeting and purchasing cycles of customers. In addition, Cayenne's revenue
and earnings have fluctuated historically, and may fluctuate in the future, due
to the timing of large individual orders. In the second quarter of fiscal 1996,
the Company had a series of significant orders from a major systems integrator
totaling $2.4 million. 



                                       32
<PAGE>   33
The Company completed an order for approximately $1.1 million from an
international customer in the third quarter of fiscal 1995.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

         From time to time, information provided by the Company or statements
made by its employees may contain "forward-looking" information, as that term is
defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act"). The
Company cautions investors that there can be no assurance that actual results or
business conditions will not differ materially from those projected or suggested
in such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but
not limited to the following:

         The Company's future operating results are dependent on its ability to
develop product and market new and innovative products and services. There are
numerous risks inherent in this complex process, including rapid technological
change and the requirement that the Company bring to market in a timely fashion
new products and services which meet customers' changing needs.

         Historically, the Company has generated a disproportionate amount of
its operating revenues toward the end of each quarter, making precise prediction
of revenues and earnings particularly difficult and resulting in risk of
variance of actual results from those forecast at any time. In addition, the
Company's operating results historically have varied from fiscal period to
fiscal period; accordingly, the Company's financial results in any particular
fiscal period are not necessarily indicative of results for future periods.

         The Company operates in a highly competitive environment and in a
highly competitive industry, which include significant pricing pressures and
intense competition for skilled employees. From time to time, the Company may
experience unanticipated intense competitive pressure, possibly causing
operating results to vary from those expected.

         The Company offers its products and services directly and through
indirect distribution channels. Changes in the financial condition of, or the
Company's relationship with, distributors and other indirect channel partners
could cause actual operating results to vary from those expected.

         The Company does business worldwide. Global and/or regional economic
factors and potential changes in laws and regulations affecting the Company's
business, including without limitation, currency fluctuations, changes in
monetary policy and tariffs, and federal, state and international laws could
impact the Company's financial condition or future results of operations.

         The market price of the Company's securities could be subject to
fluctuations in response to quarter to quarter variations in operating results,
changes in analysts' earnings estimates, market conditions in the information
technology industry, as well as general economic conditions and other factors
external to the Company.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
  Cayenne Software, Inc.:

         We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cayenne
Software, Inc. (formerly Bachman Information Systems, Inc.) as of June 30, 1996
and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30,
1996. 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

                   (TABLES IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)


1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY
         OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Cayenne Software, Inc. (formerly Bachman Information Systems, Inc.) ("the
Company" or "Cayenne") and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated from the
consolidated financial statements.

         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 and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date(s) of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period(s). Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         The Company develops, markets and supports an integrated suite of
software products and services. Many Fortune 1000 companies and government
agencies around the world use Cayenne products as they develop, implement, and
maintain business-critical information systems. Cayenne's products are designed
around an innovative open architecture that enables organizations to create
applications that integrate diverse information sources into new
high-performance computing environments, to modify applications as business and
technology change, and to run those applications on a variety of platforms.
Cayenne's approach to reusability and its open architecture directly support
client/server initiatives and partnerships with other leading software vendors.

         TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES

         Assets and liabilities of all foreign subsidiaries are translated at
period-end rates of exchange, and income statement accounts are translated at
average rates of exchange. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a
separate component of stockholders' equity, "Accumulated Translation
Adjustments."

         Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions were
immaterial for all periods presented.

         REVENUE RECOGNITION

         Revenue from product license fees is recognized upon shipment. At the
time the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of software products, no
significant vendor obligations remain and the costs of insignificant support
obligations are accrued. The Company typically does not grant to its customers a
contractual right to return software products. Accordingly, no provision for
estimated returns is generally recorded at the time of the sale. When approved
by management, however, the Company has accepted returns of certain software
products and has provided an allowance for those specific products. Maintenance
revenue for annual maintenance contracts is deferred and recognized ratably over
the term of agreement. Revenue from consulting and education services is
recognized as the related services are performed.

         COST OF REVENUE

         Cost of software licenses includes capitalized software amortization
expense (see Notes 1 and 4) and other costs principally related to the
duplication and distribution of licensed software products. Cost of consulting
and education services and maintenance includes personnel, travel and occupancy
costs connected with providing such services.

         DEFERRED REVENUE

         Maintenance revenue which is not yet earned is included in deferred
revenue.

         CASH EQUIVALENTS

         Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities
of less than ninety days when acquired. These investments are stated at cost
plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. Included in cash and
cash equivalents at June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, are $699,000 and
$2,148,000 in United States Treasury Securities under agreement to resell in
July 1996 and 1995, respectively. Treasury securities purchased under agreements
to resell are held in safekeeping by the Company's bank.

         PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

         Property and equipment are recorded at cost. At disposition, the cost
of property and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance
sheet and any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations.
Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line method over the
estimated useful life of the related assets as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                               <C> 
         Computer and related equipment.......................    3 to 5 years
         Equipment under capital lease........................    Shorter of life of lease or useful life
         Office furniture and fixtures........................    5 to 7 years
         Leasehold improvements...............................    Shorter of life of lease or useful life
</TABLE>

         SOFTWARE COSTS AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

         In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86
("SFAS 86"), "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased
or Otherwise Marketed," the Company capitalizes certain software costs after
technological feasibility of the product has been established. Costs incurred
prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are charged to research
and development expense. Software costs are amortized, on a product by product
basis, ratably over the estimated economic life of the product (generally two
years, five years in the case of WindTunnel), or the ratio of current gross
revenues to total current and expected future gross revenues of the product,
whichever is greater.

         The Company evaluates the net realizable value of capitalized software
costs in accordance with paragraph 10 of SFAS 86. The Company evaluates the net
realizable value of capitalized software and other intangible assets on an
ongoing basis relying on a number of factors including operating results,
business plans, budgets and economic projections and undiscounted cash flows. In
addition, the Company's evaluation considers non-financial data such as market
trends, product development cycles and changes in management's market emphasis.

         Costs in excess of net assets of acquired companies are amortized on a
straight-line basis over a ten-year period. Goodwill totaled $581,000 before
accumulated amortization of $246,000 and $188,000 at June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

         INCOME TAXES

         In fiscal 1994, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement No. 109 ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes," which
requires the use of the asset and liability approach for accounting for income
taxes. Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based
on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets
and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
temporary differences are expected to reverse. SFAS 109 also requires a



                                       41

valuation reserve against deferred assets if based upon weighted available
evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized. There was no material impact on the Company's results of
operations and financial position when SFAS 109 was adopted in 1994. Prior
fiscal years were not restated.

         LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

         Loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number
of common shares and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during each
year except in loss years. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of
preferred stock, warrants and stock options (calculated using the treasury stock
method). For the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, common equivalent
shares are excluded from the primary earnings per share calculation as they are
antidilutive. Fully diluted and primary earnings per share are the same amounts
for fiscal 1995 and 1994. Fully diluted earnings per share is $(.47) in fiscal
1996 as the Company's redeemable Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is assumed
to be converted at the beginning of the year.

         CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

         Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist of temporary cash investments and trade
receivables.

         The Company invests its cash in deposits with major banks and in money
market investments and obligations of the United States Government and Federal
agencies. The Company has not experienced any significant losses on its
investments.

         Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables include
receivables from a significant customer (see, also, Note 8.) and are otherwise
limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company's customer
base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographies. The
Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains
reserves for potential credit losses. Such losses to date have been within
management's expectations.

2.       BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

         On September 10, 1993, the Company acquired Chicago-based WindTunnel
Software, Inc. ("WindTunnel") in a merger transaction accounted for as a
purchase. The Company acquired WindTunnel in exchange for 650,000 shares of the
Company's common stock. The purchase price of WindTunnel was approximately
$2,500,000, based upon a stock price of $3.50 (which approximated the fair
market value of the Company's common stock at the time of the merger) for each
of the 650,000 shares of the Company's common stock issued in the merger and the
direct costs of the acquisition. The net tangible assets of WindTunnel acquired
by the Company were insignificant. The purchase price was allocated to the fair
value of WindTunnel's software, and is being amortized over five years. The
fiscal 1994 results reflect the allocation of the purchase price in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and include the results of
operations for WindTunnel since the acquisition date. (See, also, Note 13.)

         On November 16, 1993, the Company acquired substantially all the assets
of Cooperative Solutions, Inc. ("CSI") of San Jose, California, including its
product line, research and development efforts, and employee and customer bases
in exchange for assuming certain liabilities. The acquisition was accounted for
as a purchase. The purchase price, which was equal to the liabilities assumed,
was approximately $2.2 million. The purchase price was first allocated to
tangible assets based on their fair market values. The remaining purchase price
was allocated to the fair value of purchased research and development for
software which had not reached technological feasibility and had no alternative
future use. A charge for purchased research and development of $1.7 million was
recorded upon the closing of the acquisition in the Company's fiscal quarter
ended December 31, 1993. The fiscal 1994 results reflect the allocation of the
purchase price in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
include the results of operations for CSI since the acquisition date.

         The entire deferred tax asset has been fully reserved with a valuation
allowance due to the uncertainty of realization. The Company has historically
not generated consistent taxable income sufficient to ensure usage of the
deferred tax asset.

         At June 30, 1996, the Company had remaining tax net operating loss
("NOL") carryforwards of approximately $51,000,000, including approximately
$4,800,000 for international operations, currently available

to offset future taxable income and unused federal tax credits of approximately
$1,400,000. If not utilized, these credits and carryforwards will expire between
the years 2004 and 2011. Due to the Company's issuances of stock, the Tax Reform
Act of 1986 has restricted the Company's use of approximately $7,000,000 of its
existing NOL carryforwards.

9.       CAPITAL STOCK

         The Company has 1,600,000 shares of $1.00 par value "blank check"
preferred stock authorized. Such shares may be issued in one or more future
series by the Board of Directors and, subject to certain limitations so as not
to adversely effect other holders of preferred stock, if any, are to have such
rights and preferences as the Board of Directors establishes before issuance. On
November 21, 1994, the Company issued 1,787.073 shares of redeemable Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
is initially convertible into 1,000 shares of common stock and is entitled to
cast votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such
preferred stock is convertible. In connection with the issuance of the Series A
preferred stock, the Company issued to the Series A preferred stockholders
three-year warrants to purchase 357,415 shares of the Company common stock (with
Registration Rights) at an exercise price of $3.28 per share. These warrants
were valued at $319,000 and are included in additional paid in capital. As of
June 30, 1996, all shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have been
converted to common stock. Also during fiscal year 1996, the Company received
$500,000 in connection with the exercise of warrants. Warrants for 204,976
shares of common stock remain outstanding at June 30, 1996.

10.      STOCK OPTIONS

         Under the Company's amended and restated incentive and nonqualified
stock option plan, incentive stock options can be granted to employees and
consultants entitling them to purchase shares of common stock within one to ten
years from the date of grant at option prices equal to the fair market value at
the date of grant. Nonqualified stock options are generally granted under the
same terms. The vesting period for stock options is generally four years. The
exercise price for incentive stock options may not be less than the fair market
value of the common stock on the date of the grant (or 110% of fair market value
in the case of employees or officers holding 10% or more of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company). At June 30, 1996, the
number of shares issuable under the Plan is 4,250,000.

13.      RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER COSTS

         During fiscal 1996, the Company agreed to merge with Cadre Technologies
Inc. and change its name to Cayenne Software, Inc. Based on the results of
fiscal year 1996, and in conjunction with the contemplated merger between
Cayenne and Cadre, the Company reviewed its product strategy and determined that
several products including WindTunnel were no longer consistent with the
Company's objectives. Accordingly, the Company evaluated the net realizable
value of the related intangible assets and recorded a charge of approximately
$1,125,000 principally related to the writeoff of the intangible asset acquired
as part of its acquisition of WindTunnel.

         Following the completion of certain significant development efforts and
associated product introduction, the Company effected a restructuring on
September 29, 1994 to streamline its operations and better align expenses with
revenue. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $2,000,000 during the
three months ended September 30, 1994. The restructuring included a charge of
approximately $1,500,000 in termination charges resulting from a 20% reduction
in staff (approximately 70 employees). Prior to the execution of this
restructuring, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to
terminate certain specified employees and close certain facilities. Such plan
was communicated to the employees of the Company prior to the end of the quarter
and such employees were specifically identified and terminated. The termination
benefits to such employees were consistent with the Company's written severance
policy and agreements. The restructuring also included approximately $300,000 in
related facilities expense associated with the closure of Company's San Jose,
California development facility. The Company also reorganized the operations of
its German subsidiary by reducing its facilities and staff and is pursuing
distribution arrangements in that territory. As part of the restructuring, the
Company also evaluated the value of certain contracts based on a number of
factors including business plans, budgets, economic projections and market
analysis. Based on a review of these factors, the Company determined to cancel
certain contracts. The termination costs associated with those contracts
amounted to approximately $200,000 and was included in the restructuring charge.

14.      LINE OF CREDIT

         On June 6, 1996, the Company amended and restated its revolving credit
agreement with a bank to borrow up to $4,000,000, increasing to $5,000,000 upon
achievement of profitability. The term of such agreement extends through October
5, 1996. The loan is contingent upon meeting certain financial and operating
covenants at the time of any borrowing and over the life of the loan, including
a profit of $250,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 for which the Company
has obtained a waiver of compliance. The loan is secured by all of the assets of
the Company and any borrowing amounts are tied to a percentage of qualified
accounts receivable outstanding at the time of any borrowing. The financial
covenants include the attainment of certain specified levels of consolidated net
income (loss) at the end of each quarter, tangible net worth (generally defined
as the excess of tangible net assets of the Company over total liabilities
(excluding any outstanding redeemable preferred stock)) at the end of each
quarter and month, and liquidity (generally defined as cash and cash equivalents
plus eligible domestic accounts receivable and eligible international accounts
receivable less any indebtedness to the bank) at the end of each month. The
Company was in compliance with all covenants, as waived, at June 30, 1996. At
June 30, 1996, the borrowing base under the revolving credit agreement was
approximately $1,723,000 of which $1,500,000 was committed in connection with
the merger between the Company and Cadre, as discussed in Note 7. The Company is
concluding negotiations with the bank to amend and extend its credit agreement
through October 5, 1997, to establish certain of the financial and operating
covenants as well as the borrowing base thereunder similar to those set forth
above and to set the borrowing limit at $5,000,000.

15.      RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of",
which is effective for the Company's fiscal year 1997. This statement requires
that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used
by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. The Company believes the effect of adopting this statement will not
be material.

         In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" which is effective for the Company's fiscal year 1997. The Company
has determined that it will elect the disclosure-only alternative. The Company
will be required to disclose the pro forma net income or loss and per share
amounts in the notes to the financial statements using the fair value based
method beginning in fiscal 1997 with comparable disclosures for fiscal 1996. The
Company has not determined the impact of these pro forma adjustments.

16.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         On July 18, 1996, the Company received shareholder approval to merge
with Cadre Technologies Inc. of Providence, Rhode Island, and issued 4,716,442
shares of Cayenne common stock in exchange for all of the capital stock of
Cadre. The transaction is expected to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests
for accounting purposes beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 1997.

         Cadre develops, markets and supports software tools for the creation of
complex computer software. Cadre products aid in automating the process of
requirements analysis and software design by groups of software engineers.

         Unaudited, pro forma results of the combined company including revenue,
net loss and related per share amounts are presented in the following table. The
Company's fiscal 1996 results have been combined with Cadre's results for the
twelve months ended June 30, 1996. The Company's fiscal 1995 and 1994 results
have been combined with Cadre's calendar year end results for 1995 and 1994. In
this presentation Cadre's financial data for the period July 1, 1995 to December
31, 1995 is included in both the twelve month periods ended June 30, 1995 and
1996. This six month period includes revenue of $19,278,000 and a net loss of
$3,156,000. Results

The pro forma results exclude an estimated $6-7 million charge expected to be
incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Included in the estimated charge
is approximately $1.6 million of employee related termination expenses, $1.5
million of legal, accounting, broker and other professional fees, $1.5 million
of facility closure and consolidation expenses, and $2.4 million of other
miscellaneous expenses associated with the consolidation of the two companies
and the company name change.

These disclosures are included for comparative purposes only and do not purport
to be indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisiton been made on
July 1, 1993 or of results which may occur in the future.

                     SECTION 2 - REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

        2.1  REVOLVING CREDIT. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, and in reliance on the representations, warranties and covenants of
the Borrower made herein, the Bank hereby establishes a revolving credit
facility in favor of the Borrower pursuant to which, at any time prior to the
Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date, the Bank shall make Revolving
Credit Loans to the Borrower as the Borrower may from time to time request by
notice to the Bank in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof, provided that the
aggregate amount of all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding at any time shall
not exceed the Maximum Available Funds at such time. Subject to the terms and
limitations hereof, the Borrower shall have the right to make payments reducing
the outstanding balance of Revolving Credit Loans and to request further
Revolving Credit Loans by notice to the Bank in accordance with Section 2.3.
The Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Bank a Revolving Credit Note in
substantially the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A evidencing the Revolving
Credit Loans. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Bank to make or
cause to be made on a schedule attached to the Revolving Credit Note or on the
books of the Bank, at or following the time of making each Revolving Credit
Loan and of receiving payment of principal, an appropriate notation reflecting
such transaction and the then aggregate unpaid principal balance of the
Revolving Credit Loans. Failure of the Bank to make any such notation shall
not, however, affect any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the
Revolving Credit Note. The aggregate unpaid principal amount under each
Revolving Credit Loan, as recorded by the Bank from time to time on such a
schedule or on such books shall constitute presumptive evidence of such amount;
provided, however, that the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the
Revolving Credit Note will not be increased due to recording errors made by the
Bank. 

        2.2  INTEREST ON REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS. The interest rate, subject to
increase or decrease as hereinafter provided, for any portion of the
outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Note shall be computed at
a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate plus one percent (1%). Immediately
upon and after the Effective Date of the Merger, the interest rate for any
portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Note shall
be computed at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate plus two percent (2%);
provided, however, that in the event the Borrower reports Consolidated Net
Income for any fiscal year following the Merger of at least $200,000 (excluding
restructuring charges related to the Merger), then, upon receipt by the Bank
of either such quarterly financial statements evidencing such positive
Consolidated Net Income or the public announcement of such positive

                                     - 11 -
<PAGE>   12
Consolidated Net Income, the interest rate for any portion of the outstanding
principal balance of the Revolving Credit Note shall be computed at a per annum
rate equal to the Prime Rate plus one percent (1%). In all cases, interest
under the Revolving Credit Note shall be payable in arrears on the fifth day of
each month in which the Revolving Credit Note is outstanding and shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the number of days actually
elapsed. Any increase or decrease in the interest rate on the Revolving Credit
Note resulting from a change in the Prime Rate shall be effective immediately
from the date of such change.

        2.3  REQUESTS FOR LOANS. Each request for a Revolving Credit Loan shall
be made by the Borrower to the Bank by delivery to the Bank no later than one
(1) Banking Day prior to any Banking Day that the Borrower desires to borrow
hereunder, a completed and signed Borrowing Request, substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B, which request shall be irrevocable and shall
specify the proposed amount of the requested Revolving Credit Loan and proposed
borrowing date. At the time of the initial request for a Revolving Credit Loan,
the Borrower shall have provided the Bank with signed copies of a properly
completed Borrowing Base Certificate and a Compliance Certificate substantially
in the forms of Exhibit C and Exhibit D hereto, respectively. The Borrower
hereby agrees that the Bank shall be entitled to rely upon the Borrowing Base
Certificate and Compliance Certificate in its possession until superseded by a
more recent Borrowing Base Certificate and Compliance Certificate.

        2.4  USE OF PROCEEDS. The Borrower agrees to use the proceeds of the
Revolving Credit Loans exclusively for working capital purposes and for general
corporate purposes.

        2.5  ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS.

             (a)  In addition to the payments of interest on the Revolving
Credit Note, the Borrower shall, on demand, pay to the Bank interest on any
overdue installments of principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on any
overdue installments of interest, at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%)
in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to the principal portion of such
payments compounded monthly.

             (b)  All agreements between the Borrower and the Bank are hereby
expressly limited so that in no contingency whatsoever, whether by reason of
acceleration of the maturity of this Agreement or the Revolving Credit Note or
otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Bank for the use,
forbearance, loaning or retention of the Revolving Credit Loans made under this
Agreement exceed the maximum permissible rate under applicable law. If, for any
circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provisions hereof or of the
Revolving Credit Note, or of any of the Bank Agreements, at any time shall
involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then the
obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limit of such
validity, and if under any circumstances the Bank should ever receive as
interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate of interest, such
amount in excess of the lawful rate of interest shall be applied to the
reduction of 

                                     - 12 -
<PAGE>   13
the principal balance then outstanding of the Revolving Credit Note and not to
the payment of interest thereon. This provision shall control every other
provision of all agreements between the Borrower and the Bank and shall also be
binding upon and available to any subsequent holder of the Revolving Credit
Note. 

        2.6  REQUEST TO DEBIT ACCOUNTS. The Borrower hereby authorizes and
requests the Bank to charge against any account of the Borrower with the Bank
an amount equal to the accrued interest and unpaid principal and other fees and
charges from time to time due and payable to the Bank hereunder and under all
other Bank Agreements. The Bank will furnish notice to Borrower of such
charges. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that debits and charges against
Borrower's amounts under this Section 2.6 shall in no way be deemed a set-off.

        2.7  EXAMINATION FEE. The Bank reserves the right to have performed
twice annually, upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times, an examination
of the books and records of the Borrower by an agent of the Bank solely for the
purposes of determining compliance with the Bank Agreements. The Borrower
agrees to pay for the reasonable cost of each such examination. If a default
occurs under the Bank Agreements, the Bank reserves the right to make
additional examinations at the reasonable expense of the Borrower.

        2.8  CLOSING FEE. As a condition precedent to the Bank's initial
advance under the revolving credit facility hereunder, the Borrower shall pay
to the Bank a closing fee of $15,000, which shall be paid on or before the date
hereof. 

        2.9  ADDITIONAL COSTS; CHANGES IN CIRCUMSTANCES; ETC.

        Anything hereinbefore in Section 2 of this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, if, after the date hereof, the Bank shall have determined in
good faith and reasonably that compliance with any applicable law, governmental
rule, regulation or order, or any change therein (including without limitation
any change according to a prescribed schedule of increasing requirements,
whether or not in effect or known on the date hereof), or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Bank with any
guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law and
whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency which, in each instance, is of
general application to banking institutions in the United States of America or
to types of institutions similar to the Bank in terms of charter, has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Bank's capital with
respect to, or as a consequence of, its unfunded commitments to extend credit
hereunder to a level below that which the Bank would have achieved but for such
change or compliance, then, within twenty (20) days after demand therefor, the
Borrower shall pay to the Bank as from time to time specified by the Bank such
additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate the Bank for each
reduced return relating to its commitments to make such loans hereunder,
together with interest on each such amount from the date required to be paid
until payment in full thereof at the rate set forth in Section 2.5(a). A
certificate of an officer of the Bank setting forth the

amount to be paid to it hereunder and setting forth the basis for the
calculations shall, in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence
thereof. Anything in this Section 2.9 to the contrary notwithstanding, the
foregoing provisions hereof shall not apply in the case of any additional cost,
reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum resulting from or arising
as a consequence of any taxes charged upon or by reference to the overall net
income, profits or gains of the Bank.

the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Revolving Credit Loans then
outstanding hereunder, the Borrower shall immediately repay to the Bank an
amount equal to such difference within five (5) days after the end of such week.

        3.3  VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENT. The Borrower may, at its option, prepay the
Revolving Credit Note in whole or in part at any time and from time to time
without premium or penalty. Any prepayment in full of the Note shall be made
together with accrued interest on the amount prepaid to the date of such
prepayment and all costs and expenses chargeable by the Bank in respect of
Obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Bank Agreements. Unless the
Borrower otherwise indicates to the Bank the manner of application of any

Officer, the Bank may apply any payments received hereunder to the Obligations
in such order and manner as the Bank shall determine.

        3.4  CURRENCY. All payments and prepayments provided for under this
Agreement shall be made in lawful United States of America currency in
immediately available funds or in such other manner as the Bank may agree upon
in writing.

time appoint. All payments of principal (whether at maturity or upon
acceleration) and interest shall be made in immediately available, freely
transferable funds not later than 12:00 p.m., Santa Clara, California time on
the date that such payment is due. If any payment of principal or interest on
the Revolving Credit Note shall become due on any date which is not a Banking

extension of time shall in such case be included in computing interest in
connection with such payment.

        4.4  SUBSIDIARIES. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 4.4, the Borrower is

Borrower or any amendment thereof;

        (c)  do not and will not (i) result in a breach of or constitute a
material default under any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other
material agreement, lease or instrument to which the Borrower is a party or by

require, the creation or imposition of any mortgage, deed of trust, pledge,

shown with respect to any such tax returns or otherwise levied upon any of
their properties, assets, income or franchises, other than those not yet

Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") required to be filed by it pursuant
to the federal securities laws and the SEC rules and regulations thereunder,
all of which complied in all material respects with all applicable requirements
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (collectively, the "SEC Reports"). None
of the SEC Reports which are subject to Section 10(b) of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, including, without limitation, any financial statements
or schedules included therein, at the time filed contained any untrue statement
of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated

which such stock was authorized to be issued and has otherwise complied with

stock and all such shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any other capital stock of
any class outstanding. As of the date hereof, and except as set forth on
SCHEDULE 4.10, (i) there are no outstanding commitments, warrants, options or
other obligations which require the Borrower to issue any shares of its capital
stock or any security exchangeable for or convertible into shares of such
capital stock, and (ii) neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has
any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to purchase, redeem or otherwise
acquire any shares of its capital stock or any interest therein or to pay any
dividend or make any other distribution in respect thereof.

a material risk of any judgment or liability not fully covered by insurance
which may have a material adverse effect on the business or assets or in the
prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, or which questions the validity of this Agreement or the
Revolving Credit Note or any action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto or
thereto, and no judgment, decree, or order of any federal, state, provincial or
municipal court, board or other governmental or administrative agency has been

business, operations, affairs, condition (financial or other), properties or
prospects of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has all franchises,
licenses, permits, certificates and other authorizations as are necessary in

the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice, not
heretofore complied with, from any federal, state or local authority or any
insurance or inspecting body that any of its properties, facilities, equipment

ordinance, regulation, license, permit, authorization or any other requirement
of any such authority or body.

Bank certificates or other evidence satisfactory to the Bank of compliance with
the foregoing insurance provisions. If the Borrower fails to provide or cause
to be provided such insurance, the Bank, in its sole discretion, may provide
such insurance and charge the cost as a Revolving Credit Loan or to the
Borrower's deposit accounts with the Bank. Any payment not recovered from the
Borrower shall bear interest at the then rate of interest under the Revolving
Credit Note. The Bank shall not, by the fact of approving, disapproving, or
accepting any such insurance, incur any liability for the form or legal
sufficiency of insurance contracts, solvency of insurance companies or payment
of lawsuits, and the Borrower herby expressly assumes full responsibility
therefor and liability, if any, thereunder.

properties of, the Borrower, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts

4068 of the Pension Reform Act to attach to the assets of the Borrower.

        9.8  Corporate Document Amendments.  The Borrower will not and (except
as provided in the Merger Agreement) will not permit any of its Subsidiaries
to, amend its articles of organization, or its bylaws if any such amendment
could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the interest or rights of the
Bank in any manner; it being acknowledged that: (a) an increase in Borrower's
authorized capital (with the rights, terms and privileges in effect on the date
hereof, subject to the restrictions on redemptions, dividends and other
covenants set forth in the Bank Agreements for the benefit of the Bank) shall
not be deemed to adversely affect the interests or rights of the Bank; and (b)
an increase in Borrower's authorized capital with rights, terms or privileges
different from those in effect on the date hereof shall not be deemed to
adversely affect the interest or rights of the Bank so long as the terms of
such capital make an express reference to the restrictions on redemption,
dividends and other negative covenants set forth in the Bank Agreements for the
benefit of the Bank.

        9.9  Distributions.  The Borrower will not (and will not permit its
subsidiaries to) make any Distribution or make any payment on account of the

any service, with any present or former affiliate, except in the ordinary
course of business and pursuant to the reasonable requirements of its business
and upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Borrower or such
Subsidiary, as the case may be, than would be obtained in a comparable
arms'-length transaction with any Person not an Affiliate. As used herein,
"Affiliate" includes (i) any officer or director of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary, or (ii) any Person which, directly or indirectly, through one or
more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control

permit any of its Subsidiaries to make or permit, any change in accounting
policies or reporting practices including, without limitation, any change
in its fiscal year), unless, prior to such change, the

<PAGE>   37
Borrower shall have informed the Bank of such change and shall have entered
into an amendment to this Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Bank, in order to preserve unimpaired the rights of the Bank and the
obligations of the Borrower.

its Subsidiaries to the PBGC or such Pension Plan in an aggregate amount

California and consents to the jurisdiction  of any federal or state court of
competent jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the State of

validity or enforceability of any other term or condition hereof. The headings
in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and will not alter or
otherwise affect the meaning hereof. This Agreement may be executed in a number

and assigns. The

<PAGE>   43
interpretation of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed
against any party hereto based upon the fact that such party may have drafted,
or caused to be drafted, such provisions.

        13.6  Bank Holidays.  Whenever any payment to be made under this
Agreement shall become due on a day on which the Bank is required or permitted
by law to remain closed, such payment may be made on the next succeeding
Banking Day on which the Bank is open, and such extension shall be included in
computing the interest in connection with such payment.

        13.7  Expenses.  The Borrower agrees to pay on demand, all the Bank's
reasonable expenses in preparing, executing, delivering and administering this
Agreement and related instruments and documents, including, without limitation,
the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the Bank's special counsel,
Hutchins, Wheeler & Dittmar (subject to the terms hereof), and (subject to the
terms hereof) the expenses of the Bank in conducting field examinations of the
books and records of the Borrower. The Borrower also agrees to pay on demand,
all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Bank, including, without
limitation, legal and accounting fees, in connection with the collection of
amounts upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 10
hereof, the revision, protection or enforcement of any of the Bank's rights
against the Borrower under the Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note and all
other Bank Agreements and the administration of special problems that may arise
under this Agreement or any other Bank Agreement. The Borrower also agrees to
pay all stamp and other taxes in connection with the execution and delivery of
this Agreement and related instruments and documents. Any fees, expenses or
other charges which the Bank is entitled to receive from the Borrower hereunder
shall bear interest from the date of demand for payment until paid at the
lesser of (i) the rate specified in Section 2.5(a) hereof or (ii) the maximum
rate permitted by then applicable law.

        13.8  Participation.  The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the
Bank shall, upon thirty (30) Banking Days prior notice to the Borrower, be
entitled to sell one or more participations to other banks or financial
institutions in the Revolving Credit Loan and the Revolving Credit Note on such
terms as the Bank in its sole discretion shall deem appropriate. Any such
participating lender  shall be deemed to have the same right of set-off
established under this Agreement on behalf of the Bank to the extent of its
participation in the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement as it
would have if it were a direct lender.

        13.9  Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated by the Borrower
at any time by not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice of such
termination to the Bank; provided, however, that, unless and until all
Obligations of Borrower to Bank existing (whether or not due) as of the time of
the receipt of such notice by the Bank shall have been paid in full, such
termination shall in no way affect the rights and powers granted to the Bank in
connection with this Agreement, and until such payment in full all rights and
powers hereby

                                     - 43 -
<PAGE>   44
granted to the Bank hereunder shall be and remain in full force and effect; and
provided, further, that if the Borrower, upon termination of this Agreement,
fails to maintain the Bank as its principal depository institution and maintain
its operating account with the Bank, then the Borrower shall pay to the Bank a
termination fee of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00).

        13.10  Reproduction of Agreement.  This Agreement and all other
instruments, documents and papers which relate thereto which have been or may
be hereafter furnished to the Bank may be reproduced by the Bank by any
photographic, photostatic, micro-card, miniature photographic, xerographic or
similar process, and the Bank may destroy the original from which any document
was so reproduced. Any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the
original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not
the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made in
the regular course of business). However, to the extent that such reproduction
conflicts with the original, the original shall control.

        13.11  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  THE BORROWER AND THE BANK HEREBY
KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH
RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN RESPECT OF ARISING OUT OF, THIS
AGREEMENT, THE REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE AND THE OTHER BANK AGREEMENTS AND
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND/OR THE CONDUCT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
THE BORROWER, AND THE BANK. The Borrower hereby certifies that neither the Bank
nor any of its representatives, agents or counsel has represented, expressly or
otherwise, that the Bank would not, in the event of any suit, action or
proceeding, seek to enforce this waiver of right to trial by jury. The Borrower
acknowledges that the Bank has been induced to enter into this agreement by,
among other things, this waiver. The Borrower acknowledges that it has read the
provisions of this Agreement and, in particular, this section, has consulted
legal counsel, understands the rights it is granting in this agreement and is
waiving in this section in particular, and makes the above waiver knowingly,
voluntarily and intentionally.
