                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note I      GENERAL
         In management's opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements for HNC Software Inc. (the "Company") for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and include all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) that the Company
considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position, results
of operations, and cash flows for such periods. However, the accompanying
financial statements do not contain all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. All such financial statements are unaudited except the December 31,
1996 balance sheet. This report and the accompanying unaudited and audited
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited
financial statements and notes thereto presented in its 1996 Annual Report for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. Footnotes which would substantially
duplicate the disclosures in the Company's audited financial statements for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 contained in the 1996 Annual Report have
been omitted. The interim financial information contained herein is not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim
period or the full fiscal year ending December 31, 1997.


Note 2      NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128 ("FAS128"), "Earnings Per
Share," which the Company will adopt as required for all periods ending after
December 15, 1997. Pursuant to this Statement, companies will replace the
reporting of "primary" earnings per share ("EPS") with "basic" EPS. Basic EPS is
calculated by dividing the income available to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without
consideration for common stock equivalents. "Fully diluted" EPS will be replaced
by "diluted" EPS. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to fully diluted EPS under
the provisions of APB Opinion No. 15.

         The pro forma effect of the adoption of FAS128 is as follows:

         THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996 

         REVENUES. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were $18.5
million, an increase of 87% over revenues of $9.9 million for the same period in
the prior year. This increase was primarily due to greater software license and
installation revenues, which were $15.8 million for the quarter ended March 31,
1997, an increase of 128% from $6.9 million for the comparable quarter in 1996.
The Company's software license and installation revenues are derived from
periodic license fees, perpetual license fees, installation fees and maintenance
fees. This increase in software license and installation revenues was due
primarily to the growth of license fee revenues from products of recently
acquired companies, including the Retek Merchandising System, which provides
management solutions for retailers, CompCompare, which permits insurers to
compare historical costs of workers' compensation insurance claims, and MIRA,
the worker's compensation loss reserves prediction product. Also contributing to
the increase in software license and installation revenues was growth in revenue
from Falcon license fees and, to a lesser extent, revenue from ProviderCompare,
which enables insurers to compare the relative costs of health care providers'
treatment of workers' compensation injuries. Contracts and other revenues for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 were $2.7 million, a decrease of 8% as
compared to $3.0 million for the same period in the prior year.

         Contracts and other revenues are derived primarily from development and
consulting contracts with commercial customers and research and development
contracts with the United States Government. All revenues for new product pilots
(i.e., the first production installation of a product) are also reported as
contract and other revenues. The Company had a greater number of new product
pilot installations in process during the first quarter of fiscal 1996 than
during the quarter ended March 31, 1997, which accounted in part for the
decrease in contracts and other revenues during that quarter. Revenues from
contract services are generally recognized as the services are performed using
the percentage of completion method based on costs incurred to date compared to
total estimated costs at completion.

         During 1996, the Company had a significant number of new product
development projects in process consisting of new product pilot installations,
most of which the Company expects to begin shipping in production versions in
1997. Any significant delay in the completion of these or other new products, or
the failure of such products, if and when installed, to achieve any significant
market acceptance, would have a material adverse effect upon the Company's
business.




                                       9
<PAGE>   10
         The Company's success depends upon its ability to successfully enter
new markets by developing new products for those markets on a timely and
cost-effective basis. The Company's products often require customer data for
decision model development and system installation. As a result, completion of
new products may be delayed while the Company extracts sufficient amounts of
statistically relevant data and develops the statistical models that form a
product's core. During this development process, the Company relies on its
potential customers in the new market to provide relevant industry data and to
help train Company personnel in the use, relevance and meaning of the data in
the specific industry. These relationships also assist the Company in
establishing presence and credibility in the new market. There can be no
assurance the Company will succeed in developing products that satisfy customers
in new markets or that potential customers and other companies, most of which
have significantly greater financial and marketing resources than the Company,
will not compete with the Company in the future or will not otherwise
discontinue their relationships with or support of the Company, either during
development of the Company's products or thereafter.

         The Company's success will depend upon its ability to maintain
competitive technologies, enhance its current products and develop new products
for varied markets in a timely and cost-effective manner that meets changing
market conditions, including evolving customer needs, new competitive product
offerings, emerging industry standards and changing technology.

         The sales cycle associated with the purchase of the Company's products
is typically lengthy and subject to a number of significant risks, including
customers' budgetary constraints and internal acceptance reviews, over which the
Company has little or no control.

         SOFTWARE LICENSE AND INSTALLATION EXPENSES. Software license and
installation expense primarily consists of the Company's expenses for personnel
engaged in installation and support, costs of travel to customer sites and the
costs of documentation materials. Software license and installation expenses for
the first quarter of 1997 were $3.2 million and constituted 20% of software and
installation revenues for the quarter, whereas such expenses were $2.6 million
and represented 37% of software and installation revenues in the first quarter
of 1996. The primary reason for the increase in these expenses was increased
staffing and associated costs in client services to support the increased volume
of business. Software license and installation expenses represented a lower
percentage of revenues in the quarter ended March 31, 1997 than in the
comparable quarter in the prior year. This increase in gross margins was due in
part to the fact that fewer pilot product installations (particularly for
insurance and retail products) were in progress during the quarter ended March
31, 1997 than in the same quarter in 1996. Pilot product installations typically
yield lower margins due to price discounts given to early adopter customers of
new pilot products. When a pilot product is later sold to other non-pilot
customers, the Company normally transitions to full pricing, and hence higher
margins, for that product. A larger 


                                       10
<PAGE>   11
percentage of the revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was derived from
full priced transactions. The Company also had a higher volume of full priced
transactions for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the same period
of the prior year. Consequently, the Company's margins may vary from quarter to
quarter depending upon, among other things, the relative mix of pilot product
versus full priced product revenues for the quarter.


         CONTRACTS AND OTHER EXPENSES. Contracts and other expenses consist
primarily of personnel-related expenses associated with the Company's
performance of such contracts. Contracts and other expenses in the first quarter
of 1997 were $1.9 million or 68% of contracts and other revenues as compared to
$2.1 million or 70% of such revenues in the first quarter of 1996. The slight
reduction in these expenses as a percent of revenues is due to higher pricing on
commercial new product pilot contracts.

         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses in
the first quarter of 1997 were $4.3 million or 23% of total revenues compared to
$2.3 million or 24% of total revenues in the first quarter of the prior year.
The increase in these expenses was due primarily to increases in staffing and
related costs to support increased product development activities, primarily
related to enhancements to the Falcon product, Retek Merchandising 7.0,
Capstone, Retek's ARI product and Retek Data Warehouse, and to a lesser extent,
Falcon Sentry, Colleague, AREAS, CompCompare, and ProviderCompare.


         SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES. Sales and marketing expenses were $4.2
million or 23% of total revenues in the first quarter of 1997 compared to $2.2
million and 22% of total revenues in the first quarter of 1996. The increase in
sales and marketing expenses was due primarily to increased staffing related to
the Company's expansion of its direct sales and marketing staff, including
opening sales offices in the United Kingdom, Japan, South Africa and France, and
increased expenses for trade shows, advertising and other marketing programs to
support the roll-out of new products.


         GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative
expenses were $1.9 million and 10% of total revenues in the first quarter of
1997, compared to $1.3 million and 14% of total revenues in the prior year. The
increase in these costs was due to increased staffing and related expenses to
support higher levels of sales and development activity of the Company resulting
in part from the fiscal 1996 acquisitions of Risk Data Corporation and Retek
Distribution Corporation. The decrease in general and administrative expenses as
a percent of total revenues is due to relatively higher increases in revenues as
compared to the increase in general and administrative expenses.



                                       11
<PAGE>   12
        OPERATING INCOME (LOSS). The above factors resulted in operating income
of $3.1 million, constituting 17% of total revenues for the first quarter of
1997, compared to an operating loss of $627,000 or 6% of total revenues in the
same quarter of the prior year.

         The Company's quarterly revenues and operating results have varied
significantly in the past and may do so in the future. Although to date a
significant portion of the Company's revenues has come from monthly usage fees
under long-term contracts, there can be no assurance that the Company will
continue to realize such recurring revenues or that customers under such
contracts would not seek to cancel such contracts if the Company's products were
not competitive or did not achieve effective results. A significant portion of
the Company's business has been derived from substantial orders placed by large
organizations, and the timing of such orders has caused material fluctuations in
the Company's operating results. In addition, because the Company's Retek
subsidiary generally provides its products to customers under perpetual licenses
with no significant continuing obligations for which collection of the related
receivable is probable, it recognizes the majority of its revenue upon the
delivery of the software and acceptance by the customer. Thus, revenues derived
by Retek may be more likely to be recognized in irregular patterns that may
result in quarterly variations in the Company's revenues. The Company's expense
levels are based in part on its expectations regarding future revenues and in
the short term are fixed to a large extent. Therefore, the Company may be unable
to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue
shortfall. As a result, if anticipated revenues in any quarter do not occur or
are delayed, the Company's operating results for the quarter would be
disproportionately affected. The Company's operating results are also affected
by seasonal trends. Such trends may include higher revenues in the third quarter
and lower revenues in the fourth quarter as a result of fewer installations of
the Falcon product scheduled during the fourth quarter when credit card activity
is at peak levels. Operating results also may fluctuate due to factors such as
the demand for the Company's products, product life cycles, the introduction and
acceptance of new products and product enhancements by the Company or its
competitors, changes in the mix of distribution channels through which the
Company's products are offered, changes in the level of operating expenses,
customer order deferrals in anticipation of new products, competitive conditions
in the industry and economic conditions generally or in various industry
segments.

         The Company expects quarterly fluctuations to continue for the
foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company believes that period-to-period
comparisons of its financial results should not be relied upon as an indication
of the Company's future performance. No assurance can be given that the Company
will be able to achieve or maintain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis
in the future. Due to all of the foregoing factors, it is possible that in some
future quarter the Company's operating results will be below the expectations of
public market analysts and investors. In such event, the price of the Company's
Common Stock would likely be materially adversely affected.



                                       12
<PAGE>   13
         OTHER INCOME, NET. Other income for the first quarter of 1997 was
$404,000 compared to $437,000 in the first quarter of the prior year. The
decrease was due to a reduction in interest income during the first quarter of
1997 as a result of lower cash and investment balances due to the repayment of
the loans and notes payable of Risk Data Corporation and Retek Distribution
Corporation. Lower interest rates also contributed to the reduction in interest
income.
         INCOME (LOSS) BEFORE INCOME TAX PROVISION. The resulting income before
income tax provision for the first quarter of 1997 was $3.5 million or 19% of
total revenues, compared to a loss before tax provision of $190,000 or 2% of
total revenues for the comparable quarter of 1996.

         INCOME TAX PROVISION. The income tax provisions of $1.3 million and
$537,000 in the first quarters of 1997 and 1996, respectively, are based on
management's estimates of the effective tax rates to be incurred by the Company
during those respective full fiscal years. The loss before income tax provision
of $190,000 for the first three months of 1996 includes losses incurred by Risk
Data Corporation and Retek Distribution Corporation for which no tax benefit was
available during that period.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 

         Net cash provided by operating activities during the first quarter of
1997 of $3.4 million represented net income before depreciation and amortization
of approximately $3.2 million, further increased by a net increase in deferred
revenue of $1.2 million related to contract and license prepayments, and offset
by decreases in accrued liabilities of $650,000 and accounts payable of
$338,000. Net cash provided by operating activities during the first quarter of
1996 of $1.6 million represented a net loss before depreciation and amortization
of approximately $48,000. This was increased by a net increase in deferred
revenue of $1.6 million related to contract and license prepayments, and
decreases in accounts receivable of $989,000 and deferred tax assets of $520,000
offset by a increase in other assets of $1.4 million.

         Net cash used in investing activities was $6.3 million during the first
quarter of 1997, primarily due to net purchases of investments of $4.8 million.
In addition, the Company expended $1.5 million for property and equipment during
the first quarter of 1997, including $1.3 million for computer equipment to
support the increased staffing across the Company. Net cash used in investing
activities was $15.0 million during the first quarter of 1996 as a result of net
purchases of investments of $14.1 million. The Company also acquired
approximately $898,000 of property and equipment (primarily computer equipment)
during the first quarter of 1996.

         Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.9 million during the
first quarter of 1997 primarily due to the tax benefit from stock option
exercises of $1.3 million and the net proceeds from the issuance of common stock
of $725,000, offset by

capital lease repayments. Net cash provided by financing activities was $395,000
during the first quarter of 1996, primarily as a result of proceeds from Risk
Data Corporation's bridge loan of $764,000 and the net proceeds from the
issuance of common stock of $521,000, offset by repayments of the revolving line
of credit, notes payable to stockholders and capital lease obligations totaling
$890,000.

         At March 31, 1997, the Company had $37.8 million in cash, cash
equivalents and investments. Management believes that the Company's cash and
investments and cash generated from operations will be adequate for the
Company's cash requirements for the next twelve months. Management intends to
invest the Company's cash in excess of current operating requirements in
short-term, interest-bearing, investment grade securities. A portion of the
Company's cash could be used to acquire or invest in complementary businesses or
products or to obtain the right to use complementary technologies or data. From
time to time, in the ordinary course of business, the Company evaluates
potential acquisitions of such businesses, products, technologies or data.

(1)      All share and per share amounts have been adjusted to give retroactive
         effect to the stock split effected as a stock dividend, which occurred
         on April 3, 1996.

(2)      In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15, these
         common stock equivalents are not included in the 1996 computation of
         earnings per share as the Company incurred a net loss and their impact
         would be anti-dilutive.
