                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and have been prepared by the
Company without audit in accordance with the Company's accounting policies, as
described in its latest annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of
those of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the
Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates
and for the periods indicated. While the Company believes that the disclosures
presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
period ended December 31, 1997.

2.   INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued (SFAS No.
128), "Earnings Per Share" which required adoption during the year ending
December 31, 1997. Earnings per share are stated for all periods presented in
accordance with the new guideline. Basic income (loss) per common share is
computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during each period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of Convertible
Preferred Stock, warrants and stock options (calculated using the treasury stock
method). For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, common equivalent shares are
excluded from the diluted calculation as they are antidilutive. For the quarter
ended March 31, 1997, common equivalent shares of 1,091,000 are included in
diluted earnings per share. Securities that could potentially dilute earnings
per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted
earnings per share because they would have been antidilutive were 6,571,000 for
the quarter ended March 31, 1998.

3.   RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued (SFAS No.
131) "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information",
which will require adoption during the year ended December 31, 1998. This
statement established standards for the way public enterprises report
information about operating segments in annual reports. The Company is in the
process of determining the effect of adoption of this statement on its
consolidated financial statement disclosures.

     In October 1997, Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition"
(SOP 97-2), was issued which provides guidance on applying generally accepted
accounting principles in recognizing revenue on software transactions. SOP 97-2
is effective for transactions entered into in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. The Company adopted the guidelines of SOP 97-2 as of January
1, 1998 and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's
financial results.

     In March 1998,Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"), was
issued which provides guidance on accounting for the costs of computer software
developed or obtained for internal use. SOP 98-1 is effective for financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998, and will result
in the capitalization of certain qualifying costs incurred in the development of
software for internal use. This adoption of SOP 98-1 is not expected to impact
the Company's financial statements.

4.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the
ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the amount of
ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect the
financial position of the Company.

     Cayenne has received from Esprit Systems Consulting, Inc. a Notice of
Intent to Arbitrate claiming that Cayenne is liable to Esprit for approximately
$1.6 million under an extension to a contract for software training services to
be rendered to Cadre Technologies Inc. Esprit subsequently withdrew its Notice
of Intent to Arbitrate, but has stated that it intends to proceed with either
arbitration or litigation. Cayenne believes that the claim is without merit
because, among other things, the contract in question terminated without
extension. However, there can be no assurance as to the claim's future course or
likely result.

      ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Cayenne Software, Inc. (formerly Bachman Information Systems, Inc.)
("Cayenne" or the "Company"), organized as a corporation in 1983, develops,
markets and supports a comprehensive suite of workgroup-to-enterprise analysis
and design solutions for the practical challenges software developers face every
day. Global 2000 companies and government agencies around the world use Cayenne
products as they develop, implement, and maintain enterprise-wide,
business-critical information systems, such as billing, trading, and customer
support applications, as well as mission-critical technical embedded systems
such as telecommunications switching software, aeronautics, and navigation
systems.

     For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company recorded a profit of
$24,000 compared to $100,000 for the same period of a year ago. Revenues and
expenses both declined quarter over quarter as the Company's efforts to align
expenses with revenues continues. During the three months ended March 31, 1998,
the Company's revenue decreased $2.4 million to $11.0 million from $13.4 million
in revenues during the comparable period of a year ago. Most of the decline was
attributable to decreases in consulting and education revenue as well as
maintenance revenue. License revenue recorded a small decline of $0.2 million as
sales of newer products nearly offset the decline in the UNIX and mainframe
(OS2) products. The continued efforts to reduce costs and operating expenses
resulted in total operating expenses of $10.8 million, a decrease of $2.5
million or 18% (excluding restructuring credits) from the three-month period of
a year ago. The Company has relied primarily on attrition to reduce full time
staffing levels, as full time employees were down 8% or 29 people from a
comparable period of a year ago.

     The Company faces many challenges in providing customers with a more open
and flexible set of solutions. The Company has addressed some of these
challenges over the past several years by introducing additional products
targeted at the client/server and object-oriented markets both through internal
development and by means of acquisitions. The Company plans to continue to
enhance its product offerings through development efforts, strategic alliances
and acquisitions to improve its competitive position. In addition, the Company
is actively engaged in building alternate channels such as value-added resellers
("VARs") and systems integrators worldwide to promote distribution through
alternate channels which can leverage its expanded product offerings. The
actions necessary to execute this transition have had an adverse effect on the
Company's operating results through 1997 and may continue to adversely affect
operating results in the future.


REVENUES

     The Company's revenues are currently derived from three sources: (i) fees
for the license of the Company'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 the Company's
software products.

</TABLE>

     SOFTWARE LICENSES. Software license revenue for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 was $4.9 million compared to $5.1 million for the comparable
period of 1997. The $0.2 million or 3% decrease in license revenues for the
quarter resulted primarily from migration by the Company's customers from
mature, structured UNIX tools to new, Windows-based and object oriented tools,
with sales of the newer products not completely offsetting the decline in the
mature products. Additionally, contraction of federal defense programs has led
to industry consolidation, contributing to a reduction in the Company's
technical embedded customer base and specifically reduced revenues from the
Company's Teamwork product line.

     Windows-based and object oriented products accounted for 85% of new license
revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to 70% for the
comparable period of the prior year. License revenue in the United States
dropped 28% from the prior year partly due to several large orders received in
the quarter ended March 31, 1997, but this drop was nearly offset by a 28%
increase in international license revenue driven by a large order from one
customer in Italy.

     CONSULTING AND EDUCATION SERVICES. Consulting and education revenue for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 were $2.0 million compared to $2.5 million for
the comparable period of the prior year. The $0.5 million drop was attributable
to: 1) lower software license revenue in the United States where consulting and
education revenue tends to follow trends in license revenue, 2) the Company's
new products which are based on Windows NT/95 platforms and are easier to use
and therefore require less training, and 3) the sale of many of the Company's
software licenses into existing sites where companies use in-house training.

     MAINTENANCE. Maintenance revenue for annual maintenance contracts is
deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. Maintenance
revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $4.0 million compared to
$5.8 million for 1997 for a $1.8 million, or 31%, drop. Maintenance revenue
decreased $0.7 million in the United States and $1.1 million internationally as
industry consolidation in the technical embedded market reduced the customer
base for structured maintenance and there were fewer customers renewing their
maintenance contracts on mainframe/OS2 platforms as these customers migrate to
lower priced Windows-based platforms and object oriented tools.

     COST OF REVENUE. The Company's cost of software licenses includes product
packaging, documentation, media and royalties to third parties. In 1998, there
was no cost associated with the amortization of capitalized software development
as the Company reviewed its product strategy in 1997 and determined that
purchased software costs no longer had a net realizable value. Costs of
consulting and education services and maintenance includes personnel, travel and
occupancy costs connected with providing such services.

     Cost of software licenses were $0.4 million or 3% of revenue for the three
months ended March 31,1998 compared with $0.6 million or 4% of revenue in the
comparable period of 1997. The decrease in 1998 expenses reflects reduced sales
of third party products for which the Company pays a royalty to resell as well
as reduced manufacturing costs consistent with reduced revenues.

     Cost of consulting, education and maintenance was $2.0 million or 18% of
revenue in the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared with $2.1 million or
16% of revenue in the comparable periods of 1997. The decrease in 1998 expenses
is primarily attributable to reduced staffing levels as a result of the
Company's efforts to better align staffing with demand and as a result of
attrition.

     SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses were $5.3 million or 48%
of revenue in the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared with $6.3 million
or 47% of revenue in the comparable period of 1997. The decrease in 1998
expenses generally reflects reduced staffing in North America and international
subsidiary operations as a result of attrition. In addition, a reduction in
promotional programs spending also contributed to the overall decline in
expenses for the quarter.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses were $1.8
million or 17% of revenue in the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared with
$2.8 million or 21% of revenue in the comparable period of 1997. The decrease in
1998 expenses primarily reflects reduced staffing as a result of attrition. In
addition, the Company curtailed some of its research and development effort from
a third party developer during the first quarter of 1998. Other discretionary
cost containment measures were in place during the current quarter to further
reduce expenses.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses were $1.4
million or 13% of revenue in the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared with
$1.5 million or 11% of revenue in the comparable periods of 1997. The decrease
in 1998 expenses primarily reflects lower levels of staffing and the elimination
of positions. Administrative headcount is down 27% from the comparable quarter
of a year ago. The Company incurred recruiting expenses in the on-going search
for a new president and chief executive officer during the first quarter of
1998.

     RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER COSTS. During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the
Company evaluated its restructuring reserve and determined that certain amounts
provided for in previous restructuring actions were no longer required. As a
result, the Company recorded a benefit of approximately $0.4 million.

</TABLE>



     In addition to factors listed above, the operations of the Company's
international subsidiaries significantly affected results of operations in the
three months ended March 31, 1998.

     The income from operations in the United States declined to $0.8 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $2.7 million for the
corresponding period in the prior year. The decline was primarily a result of
revenue decline in the United States.

     The Company's Italian subsidiary reported income from operations of $1.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $0.1 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase was attributable to a large
order from a single customer in Italy during the quarter, along with expense
reductions taken since March 31, 1997.

     The loss from operations in the Company's United Kingdom subsidiary
decreased to $(0.3) million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from
$(0.6) million the corresponding period in the prior year. The decrease was
principally due to reduction in expenses and a slight decline in revenue for the
current quarter over the corresponding period of a year ago.

     Rest of World loss from operations declined $(0.3) million quarter over
quarter and was attributable to both a decline in revenue and expenses with
expenses decreasing at a greater rate.

     INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE), NET. Interest expense, net decreased by $0.2
million for the quarter ending March 31, 1998 versus the same quarter of a year
ago. Most of change was attributable to a reduction in foreign exchange currency
losses incurred during the first quarter of 1997. The effects of foreign
exchange rate changes for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was immaterial.

     PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. Due to the Company's recent history of
operating losses and the existence of significant net operating loss
carryforwards, the tax provisions for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
1997 are primarily composed of foreign income and withholding taxes.


RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued (SFAS No.
131) "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information",
which will require adoption during the year ended December 31, 1998. This
statement established standards for the way public enterprises report
information about operating segments in annual reports. The Company is in the
process of determining the effect of adoption of this statement on its
consolidated financial statement disclosures.

     In October 1997, Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition"
(SOP 97-2), was issued which provides guidance on applying generally accepted
accounting principles in recognizing revenue on software transactions. SOP 97-2
is effective for transactions entered into in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. The Company adopted the guidelines of SOP 97-2 as of January
1, 1998 and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's
financial results.

      ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

     In March 1998,Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"), was
issued which provides guidance on accounting for the costs of computer software
developed or obtained for internal use. SOP 98-1 is effective for financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998, and will result
in the capitalization of certain qualifying costs incurred in the development of
software for internal use. This adoption of SOP 98-1 is not expected to impact
the Company's financial statements.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of March 31, 1998, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included
cash and cash equivalents aggregating $7.8 million and a secured bank line of
credit in the amount of $5.0 million discussed below. Cash and cash equivalents
decreased by $1.4 million compared to December 31, 1997. For the three months
ended March 31, 1998, cash flows were principally affected by the decrease in
short term liabilities. The decrease in short term liabilities is attributable
to payments made for normal trade payables, accrued compensation and benefits,
and taxes. In addition, accrued restructuring and other costs decreased by $.5
million as payments were made during the quarter. Trade accounts receivable
decreased by $1.2 million as collection efforts were strong and the first
quarter's billings were below that of the fourth quarter's.

     The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures.

     On November 3, 1997, the Company amended and restated its revolving credit
agreement with a bank to borrow up to $5.0 million, to extend its term through
October 5, 1998, and to amend certain of the financial and operating covenants
and other provisions 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. 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, which were
amended, include a minimum net worth covenant of $5.5 million 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 quarter. At March 31, 1998, the borrowing base
under the revolving credit agreement was approximately $2.4 million. The Company
had approximately $2.4 million outstanding against the line of credit at March
31, 1998. The Company was in compliance with the covenants as of March 31, 1998.

     The Company currently estimates that cash expenditures for restructuring
actions for the remainder of 1998 will be approximately $0.2 million. The
Company believes that it has adequately provided for all restructuring actions
taken to date.

     The Company anticipates that existing cash balances combined with funds
generated from operations, will provide sufficient cash resources to finance its
current operations and projected capital expenditures through 1998. However, the
Company's cash requirements will depend upon the results of operations, which
cannot be foreseen. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
meet its loan covenants, achieve its operating plan or sustain profitability,
and failure to do so may have a material adverse impact on the Company's
business and operations.


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:

TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE
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.


                                       12


<PAGE>   13


FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS
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.

COMPETITION
The Company operates in a highly competitive environment and in a highly
competitive industry, which includes intense competition for skilled employees.
Because of the complexity of the Company's products, the Company relies heavily
on experienced and skilled employees both in the technical area and the sales
area. The loss of any experienced and skilled employee could impact the
Company's actual operating results or future results of operations.

RISK OF DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS
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.

ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY AND CURRENCY RISK
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.

VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
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.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The Company recognizes the importance of meeting year 2000 compliance for its
software products and internal operations. All of the Company's software
products are year 2000 compliant. The operational issues associated with meeting
year 2000 compliance are being addressed with the installation of a new software
business information system. The new installation is planned to be operational
in all United States and subsidiary locations at or around year-end 1998. The
Company is continuing to assess the impact of year 2000 on its suppliers and
vendors. Problems in meeting year 2000 compliance could impact the Company's
actual operating results or future results of operation.

SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER RISK
Cayenne has several large customers. The loss of any of these customers, through
industry consolidation or otherwise, will materially affect operating results.

REVENUE RISK
The Company's strategy to stem revenue decline is based on the transition from
the Company's OS/2 platform and Structured Unix tools to new Windows-based and
object oriented products. There can be no assurance that these new products will
be accepted by customers and will generate revenues sufficient to offset
continued decline in revenues from the OS/2 and Unix products .

LITIGATION RISK
The future course of a current large claim against the Company could impact the
Company's actual operating results or future results of operations.

INDUSTRY CONSOLIDATION
Many of the Company's competitors have significantly greater financial resources
than the Company. In addition, the trend towards industry consolidation among
the Company's competitors has given these competitors the ability to offer a
wider range of products and services than those available from the Company. This
ability may give these competitors marketing and discounting advantages not
available to the Company.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Cayenne has received from Esprit Systems Consulting, Inc. a Notice of Intent to
Arbitrate claiming that Cayenne is liable to Esprit for approximately $1.6
million under an extension to a contract for software training services to be
rendered to Cadre Technologies Inc. Esprit subsequently withdrew its Notice of
Intent to Arbitrate, but has stated that it intends to proceed with either
arbitration or litigation. Cayenne believes that the claim is without merit
because, among other things, the contract in question terminated without
extension. However, there can be no assurance as to the claim's future course or
likely result.

     The Company is not aware of any other material litigation or claim pending
or threatened against the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
