This Amendment No. 1 to the Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K dated 
December 1, 1997 (the "Report"), relates to the Registrant's completion of 
the acquisition of KIVA Software Corporation, a corporation organized and 
existing under the laws of the State of California ("KIVA"), by means of a 
merger (the "Merger") of Knife Acquisition Corporation, a corporation 
organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and a wholly 
owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("Merger Sub"), with and into KIVA, 
pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of November 
24, 1997 (the "Reorganization Agreement"), among the Registrant, Merger Sub 
and KIVA. The purpose of this Amendment is to amend Item 7(b) to provide for 
informational purposes only certain pro forma financial information relating 
to the business combination between the Registrant and KIVA on December 1, 
1997, which information was impracticable to provide at the time the 
Registrant filed this Report.

ITEM 7.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

     (b)  PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
          PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
                                       
The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial 
statements are provided for informational purposes only and assume a business 
combination between Netscape Communications Corporation ("Netscape") and KIVA 
Software Corporation ("KIVA") accounted for on a pooling of interests basis.  
The pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial statements are based 
on the historical financial statements and the notes thereto of Netscape 
included in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 
30, 1997, the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 
1996, and the historical condensed financial statements of KIVA.  The 
Netscape and the KIVA historical financial statement data for the nine months 
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1996 has 
been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements of 
Netscape and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments necessary 
for the fair presentation of the results of operations for such periods.  The 
results of operations for 1995 for KIVA were immaterial.

The pro forma combined condensed consolidated balance sheet combines 
Netscape's September 30, 1997 condensed consolidated balance sheet with 
KIVA's September 30, 1997 condensed balance sheet, giving effect to the 
Merger as if it had occurred on September 30, 1997.  The pro forma combined 
condensed consolidated statements of operations combine Netscape's historical 
condensed consolidated statements of operations for the unaudited nine months 
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1996 with 
the corresponding KIVA condensed statements of operations for the nine months 
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1996.

The pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is 
not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position 
that would have occurred if the Merger had been consummated at the beginning 
of the periods presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of future 
operating results or financial position.  The unaudited pro forma combined 
condensed consolidated financial statements do not incorporate any benefits 
from cost savings or synergies of operations of the combined company.

Netscape and KIVA estimate that they will incur direct transaction costs of 
approximately $5.8 million ($5.2 million net of an income tax benefit of 
$600,000) associated with the Merger which will be charged to operations 
during the quarter ending December 31, 1997 and have not been reflected as an 
adjustment in the pro forma combined condensed consolidated statement of 
operations. There can be no assurance that Netscape will not incur additional 
charges in the quarter ending December 31, 1997 or in subsequent quarters to 
reflect costs associated with the Merger or that management will be 
successful in their efforts to integrate the operations of the two companies.

These pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial statements should 
be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements 
and the related notes thereto of Netscape.

      NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

PERIODS COMBINED

The Netscape unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for 
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and the year ended December 
31, 1996 have been combined with the KIVA unaudited condensed statements of 
operations for each of the same periods giving effect to the Merger as if it 
had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The results 
of operations for 1995 for KIVA were immaterial.

The Netscape unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated balance 
sheet as of September 30, 1997 has been combined with the KIVA unaudited 
condensed balance sheet as of the same date giving effect to the Merger as if 
it had occurred on September 30, 1997.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

PRO FORMA BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial statements reflect 
the issuance of 6,044,404 shares of Netscape Common Stock for all of the 
outstanding shares of KIVA Common Stock in connection with the Merger which 
resulted in an exchange ratio of .3818 shares of Netscape Common Stock 
for each share of KIVA Common Stock.

PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

(1)  The pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial statements 
     reflect an adjustment for the conversion of KIVA's Mandatorily 
     Redeemable Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the historical 
     conversion rate of one common share for each preferred share.

(2)  The pro forma combined condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects an 
     increase in noncurrent deferred tax assets and a decrease in accumulated 
     deficit as a result of realization of the income tax benefit related to 
     KIVA's net operating losses.  The pro forma combined condensed 
     consolidated statements of operations reflects changes to the income 
     tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and 
     the year ended December 31, 1996, as a result of utilization of KIVA's 
     net operating losses.

(3)  The pro forma combined condensed balance sheet reflects merger 
     transaction costs of approximately $5.8 million ($5.2 million net of an 
     income tax benefit of $600,000) associated with the Merger as discussed 
     below.

MERGER TRANSACTION COSTS

Netscape and KIVA estimate direct transaction costs of approximately $5.8 
million ($5.2 million net of an income tax benefit of $600,000) associated 
with the Merger, consisting of transaction fees for investment bankers, 
attorneys, accountants and other related charges.  The nonrecurring costs are 
reflected in the pro forma condensed balance sheet as an increase to 
accumulated deficit and accrued liabilities.  The nonrecurring costs will be 
charged to operations in the quarter ended December 31, 1997 and have not 
been reflected in the pro forma combined condensed consolidated statements of 
operations.

PRO FORMA INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

The pro forma combined income (loss) per share is based on the combined 
weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares of 
Netscape Common Stock and KIVA Common Stock outstanding for each period, 
based on an assumed exchange ratio of .3818 shares of Netscape Common Stock 
for each share of KIVA Common Stock and each of the outstanding options to 
purchase KIVA Common Stock as of December 1, 1997.  Common equivalent shares 
consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock 
options (using the treasury stock method).  The proforma combined income 
(loss) per share includes the effect of the convertible preferred stock 
(using the if-converted method) for all periods even if antidilutive.  The 
historical weighted average shares outstanding related to KIVA include the 
historical weighted average common stock outstanding for each respective 
period and exclude common stock equivalents as their effect is antidilutive.

CONFORMING AND PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

Netscape and KIVA.  Certain amounts for KIVA have been reclassified to 
conform with Netscape's financial statement presentation.  There have been no 
significant intercompany transactions.
