                                EXPLANATORY NOTE

     In October 1998, the SEC issued a letter to the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants indicating suggested practices for determining in
process research and development charges related to acquisitions to be accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting. Further, the SEC has indicated that
this methodology should be adopted for all transactions accounted for by the
purchase method. The Company originally recorded Practical Control Systems, Inc.
("PCS"), Financial Technology, Inc. ("FTI") and Advanced Telecommunications
Abuse Control System ("ATACS") product line during the first and second quarters
of 1998 using then current accepted practices and has now recorded this new
methodology and its related effects, retroactively to each quarter impacted.

     This amendment to Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 is being
filed to conform to these practices with respect to the acquisitions of PCS, FTI
and ATACS.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1   GENERAL

         In management's opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements for HNC Software Inc. (the "Company") for the three months
and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 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, 1997 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 Annual Report on
Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 (the "1997 Annual
Report"). Footnotes that would substantially duplicate the disclosures in the
Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1997 contained in the 1997 Annual Report have been omitted. The interim
financial information contained in this Report is not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal
year ending December 31, 1998.


NOTE 2   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in
this Report give retroactive effect to the Company's November 28, 1997
acquisition of CompReview, Inc., accounted for as a pooling of interests, for
all periods presented. The acquisitions of Practical Control Systems
Technologies, Inc. ("PCS") and Financial Technology, Inc. ("FTI") were completed
on March 31, 1998 and April 7, 1998, respectively, and accounted for as
purchases as of the respective acquisition dates. In addition, the acquisition
of the Advanced Telecommunications Abuse Control System ("ATACS") product line
of Bedford Associates, Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of British
Airways plc, was completed on June 11, 1998 and accounted for as a purchase as
of that date. In connection with these acquisitions, acquired in-process
research and development in the aggregate amount of $6.1 million was charged to
operations at the respective acquisition dates.


NOTE 3   ACQUISITIONS

         In March 1998, the Company acquired PCS, a company that develops,
markets and supports fully integrated distribution center management software
products that address the distribution needs of the retail, manufacturing and
wholesale industries. HNC acquired PCS in exchange for 142,868 shares of HNC
common stock, 14,286 of which are subject to an escrow to secure certain
indemnification obligations of the former PCS stockholders plus the contingent
right, subject to PCS' achievement of certain financial


                                       6

objectives during calendar 1998 and 1999, to receive certain additional shares
of HNC common stock.

         In April 1998, the Company acquired FTI, a company that develops and
markets profitability measurement and decision-support software products to
banks and other similar financial institutions. HNC acquired FTI in exchange for
the issuance of 396,617 shares of HNC common stock, 97,390 of which are subject
to an escrow to secure certain indemnification obligations of the former FTI
stockholders; a cash payment of $1.5 million; and the contingent right, subject
to FTI's achievement of certain financial objectives during calendar 1998, to
receive additional shares of HNC common stock.

         In June 1998, the Company acquired the ATACS product line. ATACS is a
fraud-management software solution for wireline, wireless and Internet
telecommunication service providers. HNC acquired the ATACS product line for a
cash payment of $4.75 million.


NOTE 4   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

         During the first quarter of 1998, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("FAS
130"). FAS 130 requires the Company to report in the financial statements, in
addition to net income, comprehensive income and its components including
foreign currency items and unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in
debt and equity securities. Comprehensive income is defined as "the change in
equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions
and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all
changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by
owners and distributions to owners."


NOTE 5   RECLASSIFICATIONS

         Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the
current period presentation.

         The conversion of the Company's 4.75% convertible subordinated notes
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 of 2,230,000 and
1,319,000 shares, respectively, were not used to calculate diluted net income
per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.


NOTE 7   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" (FAS 133") which the Company will be required to adopt for
its 2000 annual financial statements. This statement establishes a new model for
accounting for derivatives and hedging activities. Under FAS 133, all
derivatives must be recognized as assets and liabilities and measured at fair
value. The Company had not determined the impact of the adoption of this new
accounting standard on its consolidated financial position or results of
operations.


NOTE 8   IN PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

In connection with the acquisitions of PCS, FTI and ATACS, acquired in-process 
research and development in the aggregate total of $6.1 million was charged to 
operations at the respective acquisition dates.

         Practical Control Solutions, Inc. PCS is a worldwide supplier of fully 
integrated distribution center management software products that address the 
distribution needs of the retail, wholesale and manufacturing industries. PCS' 
products may be classified into two categories: Nautilus, an off-the-shelf 
warehouse management software system designed with all the tools needed to 
control the course of warehouse operations and Nautilus CBT, an operational 
tutorial database which guides the user through Nautilus operations. Certain 
products were complete in certain areas and under development in others. The 
classification of the technology as complete or under development was made in 
accordance with the guidelines of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
No. 86 ("SFAS 86"), Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 2 ("SFAS 
2") and Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 4 ("FIN4"). At 
the time of acquisition, PCS had a number of new software products under 
development including Nautilus Versions 6.0 and 7.0 and Nautilus CBT. Nautilus 
Version 6.0 and Nautilus CBT were both nearly complete but had not reached 
technological feasibility as of the acquisition date.

         Financial Technology, Inc. FTI has been a leading provider of 
management accounting software for financial institutions since 1982. Since 
1994, FTI has focused on profitability measurement and other decision support 
systems. FTI's products are generally classified into six categories: 
ProfitVision, MarketVision, RiskVision, DataVision, Decision Support Products 
and Financial Platform Products. FTI had various new products under development 
in each of these categories, none of which had reached technological 
feasibility as of the acquisition date. The classification of each new 
technology as complete or under development was made in accordance with the 
guidelines of SFAS 86, SFAS 2 and FIN4.

         ATACS. ATACS is a fraud management software solution for the wireline, 
wireless and Internet telecommunication service provider industries. The system 
detects fraudulent traffic thereby avoiding significant financial losses to 
traditional telecommunication carriers and Internet Service Providers. ATACS' 
Version 4.2 includes significant enhanced features from its prior version, 
including new enhancements to Velocity, Message Handlers and a subsystem to 
support fraud detection of on-line transactions. ATACS Version 4.1 was 
completed and producing revenues prior to the acquisition date while Version 
4.2, which includes new technology that allows the system to function on three 
interface platforms, was under development and had not yet reached 
technological feasibility as of the acquisition date. Although Version 4.2 has 
as its foundation technology from the completed as well as in-process 
technology, HNC believes that it will have changed significantly so as to be 
considered new research and development efforts. The classification of each 
research and development project as complete or under development was made in 
accordance with the guidelines of SFAS 86, SFAS 2 and FIN4.

Item 2:   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:  NO ASSURANCES INTENDED

         This Report (including without limitation the following section
regarding Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations) contains certain forward-looking statements (within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) regarding the Company and its business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Words such as
"expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks" and
"estimates," and similar expressions or variations of such words, are intended
to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of
identifying forward-looking statements in this Report. Additionally, statements
concerning future matters such as the development of new products, enhancements
or technologies, possible changes in legislation and other statements regarding
matters that are not historical are forward-looking statements.

         Although forward-looking statements in this Report reflect the good
faith judgment of the Company's management, such statements can only be based on
facts and factors currently known by the Company. Consequently, forward-looking
statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results
and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in or
anticipated by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences in results and outcomes include without
limitation those discussed in "Potential Fluctuations in Operating Results" as
well as those discussed elsewhere in this Report. Readers are urged not to place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the
date of this Report. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update
any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance
that may arise after the date of this Report. Readers are urged to carefully
review and consider the various disclosures made by the Company in this Report,
which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may
affect the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and
prospects.

POTENTIAL FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS

         The Company's revenues and operating results have varied significantly
in the past and may do so in the future. Factors affecting the Company's
revenues and operating results include, but are not limited to: the degree of
acceptance of the Company's products; by the markets and industries served by
the Company; the historical tendency of the Company to receive, during a given
fiscal period, a small number of relatively large customer orders, such that
failure to recognize revenue from any such order in that fiscal period may
disproportionately and adversely affect the Company's revenues and operating
results for that fiscal period; customer cancellation of long-term contracts
that yield recurring revenues or customers' ceasing their use of Company
products for which the Company receives recurring, usage-based fees and disputes
with customers regarding fees payable to the Company; the lengthy sales cycle of
most of the Company's products; the Company's ability to successfully and timely
develop, introduce and market new products and product enhancements; the timing
of new product announcements and


                                       9
<PAGE>   10

introductions by the Company and its competitors; changes in the mix of
distribution channels; changes in the level of operating expenses; the Company's
ability to timely achieve progress and fulfill its obligations under contracts
on which revenue is recognized in the percentage-of-completion basis; the
Company's success in completing certain pilot installations within contracted
fee budgets; competitive conditions in the enterprise software industry;
domestic and international economic conditions; and market conditions in the
Company's targeted markets. In addition, as a result of recently issued guidance
on software revenue recognition, license agreements entered into during a
quarter may not meet the Company's revenue recognition criteria, with the result
that, even if the Company meets or exceeds its forecast of aggregate licensing
and other contracting activity for a given fiscal period, it is possible that
the Company's revenues for that fiscal period would not meet expectations.
Furthermore, the Company's operating results may be affected by factors unique
to certain of its product lines. For example, although in the past a large
portion of the Company's revenues were derived from contracts providing for
periodic, recurring fees, the Company now derives a substantial and increasing
portion of its revenues from products (particularly products for the retail
industry) priced as "perpetual" license transactions in which the Company
receives a one-time license fee that is recognized upon delivery of the software
and acceptance by the customer. Thus, failure to complete a perpetual license
transaction during a fiscal quarter would have a disproportionate adverse impact
on the Company's operating results for that quarter.

         The Company expects that fluctuations in its operating results will
continue for the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company believes that
period-to-period comparisons of its financial results should not be relied upon
as an indication of future performance. Because the Company's expense levels are
based in part on its expectations regarding future revenues and are fixed to a
large extent in the short term, in the event of an unexpected revenue shortfall
during a fiscal period, the Company may be unable to adjust spending in time to
maintain anticipated operating results for that fiscal period. Accordingly, the
Company may not be able to maintain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis
in the future. Due to some or all of the foregoing factors, or other 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 that event,
the market price of the Company's common stock and, in turn, the market price of
the Company's 4.75% convertible subordinated notes due 2003 (the "Notes"), would
likely be materially adversely affected.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

         It is generally anticipated that many organizations will experience
operational difficulties at the beginning of the Year 2000 as a result of the
fact that many currently installed computer systems and software products are
coded to accept only two digit entries in the date code field. Significant
uncertainty exists in the software and other industries concerning the scope and
magnitude of problems associated with the century change. Based on the Company's
assessment to date, the Company believes that the current version of each of its
material products is Year 2000 compliant. However, there can be no assurance
that all of the Company's customers will install the Year 2000 compliant version
of the Company's products in a timely manner, which could lead to failure of
customer systems and product liability claims against the Company. The Company
is assessing the products it has acquired in its recent acquisitions for Year
2000 compliance. The inability of the Company to complete its assessment and any
necessary modifications to these recently acquired products could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations. Even if the Company's products are Year 2000 compliant,
the Company may in the future be subject to claims based on Year 2000 issues in
the products of other companies, or issues arising from the integration of
multiple products within a system. The costs of defending and resolving Year
2000-related disputes, and any liability of the Company for Year 2000-related
damages, including consequential damages, could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Further, the Company's products are generally used with enterprise systems
involving complicated software products developed by other vendors, which may
not be Year 2000 compliant. In particular, many of the Company's customers are
financial institutions, insurance companies and other companies with insurance
and financial services businesses, all of which use legacy computer systems that
are expected to be particularly susceptible to Year 2000 compliance issues. If
the Company's customers are unable to use their information systems because of
the failure of such noncompliant systems or software or for any other reason,
there would be a decrease in the volume of transactions that the Company's
customers process using the Company's products. As a result, the Company's
recurring revenue in the form of transactional fees from customers in the
insurance and financial services markets would decline, which would have a
material adverse effect on the


                                       10
<PAGE>   11

Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Such failure
could also affect the perceived performance of the Company's products, which
could have a negative effect on the Company's competitive position. In addition,
the Company believes that the purchasing patterns of customers and potential
customers may be affected by Year 2000 issues as companies expend significant
resources to correct or patch their current software systems for Year 2000
compliance. These expenditures may result in reduced funds available to purchase
software products such as those offered by the Company, which could result in a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.

         The Company is reviewing its major internal corporate systems for Year
2000 compliance and intends to take appropriate action based on the results of
such review. The Company's plan for the Year 2000 calls for compliance
verification of external vendors supplying software and information systems to
the Company and communication with significant suppliers to determine the
readiness of third parties' remediation of their own Year 2000 issues. As part
of its assessment, the Company is evaluating the level of validation it will
require of third parties to ensure their Year 2000 readiness. To date, the
Company has not encountered any material Year 2000 issues concerning its
computer systems. The Company plans to complete its Year 2000 research and
testing by the end of the first quarter of 1999. All costs associated with
carrying out the Company' plan for the Year 2000 compliance are being expensed
as incurred. The total cost associated with preparation for the Year 2000 has
not been, and is not expected to be, material to the Company's business,
financial condition or results of operations. Nevertheless, the Company may not
timely identify and remediate all significant Year 2000 problems and remedial
efforts may involve significant time and expense. There can be no assurance that
any Year 2000 compliance problems of the Company or its customers or suppliers
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         HNC develops, markets and supports predictive software solutions for
several leading service industries. These predictive software solutions may
employ proprietary neural-network predictive decision engines, profiles,
traditional statistical modeling, business models, expert


                                       11
<PAGE>   12

rules and context vectors to convert existing data and business experiences into
meaningful recommendations and actions. HNC has developed a growing family of
predictive software products that provide specific solutions for each of the
healthcare/insurance, financial services and retail markets. The Company's
healthcare/insurance products, which are developed and marketed by its Insurance
Solutions subsidiary, emphasize the workmen's compensation field and provide a
variety of solutions to insurers, parties who administer insurance claims and
health care administrators. HNC's products for the financial services market
include products targeted at bank and private label payment card issuers and
payment processors and products that allow lenders to automate the loan approval
decision process. For the retail industry, HNC has developed a group of products
that address inventory control, merchandise management and financial control
management.

         The Company's revenues are comprised of license and maintenance
revenues, installation and implementation revenues, contracts and other revenues
and service bureau revenues. The Company's revenues for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 were $43.1 million, an increase of 56% over revenues of $27.6
million for the same period in the prior year. The Company's revenues for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 were $78.2 million, an increase of 51% over
revenues of $51.7 million for the same period in the prior year.

         LICENSE AND MAINTENANCE REVENUES. License and maintenance revenues were
$33.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998, an increase of 51% from $22.3
million for the comparable quarter in 1997. License and maintenance revenues
were $60.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of 49%
from $40.6 million for the comparable period in 1997. The Company's license and
maintenance revenues are derived from periodic recurring license and maintenance
fees and perpetual license fees. These increases in license and maintenance
revenues were due primarily to the growth of license fee revenues from the
retail and financial services industry segments. The increase in license and
maintenance revenues in the retail industry was primarily due to an increase in
sales of the Retek suite of products and sales related to the recently acquired
company, PCS. The increase in the financial services industry is attributable to
an increase in sales of the Falcon and Capstone product lines and sales of the
ProfitMax product. Sales generated by the recently acquired company, FTI, also
contributed to this increase.

         INSTALLATION AND IMPLEMENTATION REVENUES. Installation and
implementation revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 were $3.6 million,
an increase of 66% from $2.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.
Additionally, installation and implementation revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 were $6.8 million, an increase of 65% from $4.1 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1997. These increases were primarily due to new
installations within the financial services industry, primarily related to the
ProfitMax and Capstone product lines. Revenues from installation and
implementation 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.

         CONTRACTS AND OTHER REVENUES. Contracts and other revenues for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 were $3.6 million, an increase of 99% from $1.8
million for the same period in the prior year. Likewise, contracts and other
revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $6.5 million, an increase
of 43% from $4.5 million for the same period in the prior year. Contracts and
other revenues are derived primarily from development and consulting contracts


                                       12
<PAGE>   13

with commercial customers and, to a lesser extent, research and development
contracts with the United States Government. Revenues for new product pilots
(i.e., the first production installation of a new product) are also reported as
contract and other revenues. 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. These increases were attributable to increases in consulting
contracts with commercial customers primarily in the retail industry segment.

         SERVICE BUREAU REVENUES. Service bureau revenues for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 were $2.1 million, an increase of 66% from $1.3 million for
the same period in the prior year. Service bureau revenues for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 were $4.2 million, an increase of 80% from $2.4 million for
the same period in the prior year. This increase was attributable to an increase
in the number of customers utilizing the Company's CRLink service bureau
operations.

         LICENSE AND MAINTENANCE EXPENSES. License and maintenance expenses
primarily consist of the Company's expenses for personnel engaged in customer
support activities, costs of travel to customer sites and the costs of
documentation materials. License and maintenance expenses for the second quarter
of 1998 were $8.2 million and constituted 24% of license and maintenance
revenues for the quarter, whereas such expenses were $5.0 million and
represented 23% of license and maintenance revenues in the second quarter of
1997. Additionally, license and maintenance expenses for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 were $14.1 million and represented 23% of license and maintenance
revenues for that six-month period, whereas such expenses were $9.0 million and
represented 22% of license and maintenance revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. The primary reason for the increase in these expenses, in
absolute dollars and as a percent of revenues, was increased staffing and
associated costs in client services to support an increased volume of business.

         INSTALLATION AND IMPLEMENTATION EXPENSES. Installation and
implementation expenses for the second quarter of 1998 were $2.7 million and 75%
of installation and implementation revenues, whereas such expenses were $1.3
million and 57% of installation and implementation revenues during the second
quarter of 1997. Installation and implementation expenses for the first six
months of 1998 were $4.6 million and 67% of installation and implementation
revenues, whereas such expenses were $2.1 million and 50% of installation and
implementation revenues during the first six months of 1997. The primary reason
for the increase in these expenses in absolute dollars was increased staffing
and associated costs to support an increased volume of business. Installation
and implementation expenses as a percent of installation and implementation
revenues increased during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998,
respectively, as compared to the respective periods in 1997. The associated
decrease in gross margins was a result of a shift in the mix of implementations
within the financial services segment due primarily to an increase in Capstone
implementations, which have substantially lower margins than implementations of
the Falcon products.

         CONTRACTS AND OTHER EXPENSES. Contracts and other expenses consist
primarily of personnel-related expenses associated with the Company's
performance of such development, consulting, and research and development
contracts. Contracts and other expenses in the second quarter of 1998 were $2.8
million or 79% of contracts and other revenues as compared to $1.5 million or
81% of such revenues in the second quarter of 1997. Contracts and other expenses
for


                                       13
<PAGE>   14

technology the first six months of 1998 were $4.7 million or 73% of contracts
and other revenues as compared to $3.3 million or 73% of such revenues for the
first six months of 1997. The decreases in the second quarter expenses as a
percentage of contracts and other revenues were due to the increase in revenue
from commercial consulting contracts in the retail industry out pacing the
increase in costs to support the increased volume in business. The remaining
development contracts were primarily retail consulting contracts, government
contacts and on-going model development projects, which typically yield lower
margins than commercial new product pilot contracts.

         SERVICE BUREAU EXPENSES. Service bureau expenses during the second
quarter of 1998 were $1.3 million or 62% of service bureau revenues as compared
to $919,000 or 71% of such revenues during the second quarter of 1997. Service
bureau expenses during the first six months of 1998 were $2.4 million or 56% of
service bureau revenues as compared to $1.8 million or 76% of such revenues
during the first six months of 1997. The associated increases in gross margins
were the result of increases in the number of "complex" bills processed, which
typically yield higher margins than normal bills.

         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses in
the second quarter of 1998 were $7.6 million or 18% of total revenues compared
to $4.9 million or 18% of total revenues in the second quarter of the prior
year. Research and development expenses for the first six months of 1998 were
$14.5 million or 18% of total revenues compared to $9.4 million or 18% of total
revenues for the first six months of the prior year. The increase in these
expenses in absolute dollars was due primarily to increases in staffing and
related costs to support increased product development activities, primarily
related to enhancements to the healthcare/insurance and retail segment products
and, to a lesser extent, the financial services segment products.

         IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development
expenses were $4.3 million and $6.1 million for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1998, respectively. These one-time write-offs were related to the
acquisitions of PCS and FTI and the asset purchase of ATACS during the first six
months of 1998.

         Practical Control Solutions, Inc. PCS is a worldwide supplier of fully
integrated distribution center management software products that address the
distribution needs of the retail, wholesale and manufacturing industries. PCS'
products may be classified into two categories: Nautilus, an off-the-shelf
warehouse management software system designed with all the tools needed to
control the course of warehouse operations and Nautilus CBT, an operational
tutorial database which guides the user through Nautilus operations. Certain
products were complete in certain areas and under development in others. The
classification of the technology as complete or under development was made in
accordance with the guidelines of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 86 ("SFAS 96"), Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 2 ("SFAS 2")
and Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 4 ("FIN4"). At the
time of acquisition, PCS had a number of new software products under
development, including Nautilus Versions 6.0 and 7.0 and Nautilus CBT. Nautilus
Version 6.0 and Nautilus CBT were both nearly complete but had not reached
technological feasibility as of the acquisition date and approximately $280,000
of development costs were assumed to be incurred through to their scheduled
completion in mid-1998. Nautilus 7.0 was in an early stage of development as of
the


                                       14
<PAGE>   15

acquisition date. HNC assumed that it would incur approximately $974,000 of
additional development costs through to technological feasibility, which was
assumed to be in early 1999.

         All in-process research and development (R&D) projects continue to
progress, in all material respects, consistently with the assumptions that HNC
provided to the independent appraiser for use in the valuation of the in-process
R&D. The inability of HNC to complete this technology within the expected
timeframes could materially impact future revenues and earnings, which could
have a material adverse effect on HNC's business, financial condition and
results of operations.

         Financial Technology, Inc. FTI has been a leading provider of
management accounting software for financial institutions since 1982. Since
1994, FTI has focused on profitability measurement and other decision support
systems. FTI's products are generally classified into six categories:
ProfitVision, MarketVision, RiskVision, DataVision, Decision Support Products
and Financial Platform Products. FTI had various new products under development
in each of these categories, none of which had reached technological feasibility
as of the acquisition date. The classification of each new technology as
complete or under development was made in accordance with the guidelines of SFAS
86, SFAS 2 and FIN4. Each new product under development has varying release
dates for completion ranging from July 1998 through December 1999. The valuation
was based on the assumption that the estimated cost to complete all products
under development, measured as of the acquisition date, is approximately $2.1
million, of which $1.2 million would be incurred through December 1998 and an
additional $900,000 would be incurred during 1999. The valuation approach also
assumed that these products would generate revenues through the year 2002. These
statements regarding revenues and expenses are forward-looking statements, which
are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially
from those anticipated. The important factors that could cause actual results to
differ include those discussed in "Potential Fluctuations in Operating Results"
and elsewhere in this Report. The inability of HNC to complete this technology
within the expected timeframes could materially impact future revenues and
earnings, which could have a material adverse effect on HNC's business,
financial condition and results of operations.

         In-process research and development projects continue to progress, in
all material respects, consistently with management's original assumptions that
were provided to the independent appraiser and used to value the in-process R&D.

         ATACS. ATACS is a fraud management software solution for the wireline,
wireless and Internet telecommunication service provider industries. The system
detects fraudulent traffic thereby avoiding significant financial losses to
traditional telecommunication carriers and Internet Service Providers. ATACS'
Version 4.2 includes significant enhanced features from its prior version,
including new enhancements to Velocity, Message Handlers and a subsystem to
support fraud detection of on-line transactions. ATACS Version 4.1 was completed
and producing revenues prior to the acquisition date while Version 4.2, which
includes new technology that allows the system to function on three interface
platforms, was under development and had not yet reached technological
feasibility as of the acquisition date. Although Version 4.2 has as its
foundation technology from the completed as well as in-process technology, HNC
believes that it will have changed significantly so as to be considered new
research and development efforts. The classification of each research and
development project as complete or under development was made in accordance with
the guidelines of SFAS 86, SFAS 2 and FIN4. The valuation approach assumed that
the cost to reach technological feasibility would be approximately $250,000 and
the release would be completed by July 1998.

         In-process research and development projects continue to progress, in
all material respects, consistently with HNC's original assumptions that were
provided to the independent appraiser and used to value the in-process R&D.

         Valuation Approach. HNC used an independent appraisal firm to assist it
with its valuation of the fair market value of the purchased assets of PCS, FTI
and ATACS. Fair market value is defined as the estimated amount at which an
asset might be expected to be exchanged between a willing buyer and willing
seller assuming the buyer continues to use the assets in their current
operations. HNC provided assumptions by product line of revenue, cost of goods
sold and operating expense to the appraiser to assist in the valuation. The
appraisal considered three traditional approaches to valuation: the cost
approach, the market approach and the income approach.

         Practical Control Solutions, Inc. With respect to the forecasted
earnings provided to the appraiser, PCS is forecasting slightly higher revenue
growth rates as long as it can continue to meet market demands with new releases
each year. These higher growth rates reflect PCS' expectation of greater market
acceptance with the release of its ORACLE-based platform, as well as new
improvements, that will be found in Nautilus versions 6 and 7. PCS' gross
margins are forecasted to remain consistent relative to prior years. PCS is also
expecting its current operating expense levels to only moderately increase in
absolute dollars and, as a result, earnings before interest and taxes is
expected to increase in later years. Management believes these growth
expectations are reasonable if the new product versions are offered according to
the schedules reflected in the financial statements. The statements regarding
expectations for PCS are forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks
and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated.
The important factors that could cause actual results to differ include those
discussed in "Potential Fluctuations in Operating Results" and elsewhere in this
Report.

         Financial Technology Inc. Prior to 1997, FTI primarily sold financial
reporting general ledger software to mid-sized banks. During 1997, FTI began to
derive a significant amount of its revenue from ProfitVision, a customer
profitability system for the same financial institutions. With respect to the
forecasted earnings provided to the appraiser, FTI is forecasting significant
revenue growth from a full line of new software measurement tools. The financial
forecasts reflected in the appraiser's report reflect management's expectation
of significant revenue growth from a number of new product offerings. Operating
margins (before interest and taxes) are currently expected to increase from
historical trends. Management currently believes that these projected increases
are reasonable in light of the number of new product offerings and increased
gross profit obtained from these new software measurement tools which is in
contrast to those obtained from its financial reporting packages historically
sold by FTI. The statements regarding expectations for FTI are forward-looking
statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may
differ materially from those anticipated. The important factors that could cause
actual results to differ include those discussed in "Potential Fluctuations in
Operating Results" and elsewhere in this Report.

         ATACS. ATACS represented a product line within Bedford Associates, Inc.
since 1995. Management was provided with limited historical information but, in
conjunction with the acquisitions, reviewed contracts that supported revenue and
identified and ultimately hired the development and support team that represents
the underling costs of revenue as well as


                                       16
<PAGE>   17

development costs. Under Bedford, ATACS was not an aggressively marketed product
and, as a result, sales growth slowed and margins slightly dropped. The product
becomes more widely marketable with the offering of Version 4.2, which expands
the functionality to three new operating environments. With respect to the
forecasted earnings provided to the appraiser, the forecasts reflected higher
growth rates than prior years' ranges, reflecting the new product offering and
several years of prior marketing of the product now generating sales
opportunities. Gross margins are also forecasted to increase rather
significantly reflecting higher revenue levels and economies of scale in the
production and support cost areas. The statements regarding expectations for
ATACS are forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and
uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. The
important factors that could cause actual results to differ include those
discussed in "Potential Fluctuations in Operating Results" and elsewhere in this
Report.

         With respect to the discount rates used in the valuation approach, the
incomplete technology represents a mix of near and mid-term prospects for the
business and imparts a level of uncertainty to its prospects. It is the nature
of the business to be constantly developing new software for future product
releases. A reasonable expectation of return on the incomplete technology would
be higher than that of completed technology due to these inherent risks. As a
result, the earnings associated with incomplete technology were discounted at a
rate of 40.0%, 27.0% and 22.5% for PCS, FTI and ATACS, respectively, based upon
the following methodologies:

         Practical Control Solutions, Inc. Because PCS did not have short-term
or long term debt as of the date of acquisition, the Moody's seasoned Baa rate
for March 31, 1998 was utilized as the cost of debt. The Capital Asset Pricing
Model was used to determine the cost of equity. It combines a risk free rate of
return with an equity risk premium multiplied by a factor, referred to as Beta,
which is based on the performance of common stock prices of similar publicly
traded companies. Employing these data, the discount rate attributable to the
business was 30%, which was used for valuing completed technology. Since
incomplete technology represents a mix of near- and mid-term prospects for the
business and imparts a certain level of uncertainty and would require a higher
return than completed technology, the valuation report prepared by the Company's
appraiser suggests that a rate of 40% be ascribed to the excess earnings of
incomplete technology.

         Financial Technology Inc. The cash flows attributable to FTI's
technology were discounted based on a weighted average cost of capital ("WACC")
analysis attributable to the business. In determining an appropriate discount
rate utilizing the WACC analysis, an analysis was made of short-term interest
rates, the yields of long-term corporate and government bonds, and other
alternative investment instruments, as well as the typical capital structure of
companies in the industry. Employing this formula, the discount rate attributed
to the business was 17% , which was used to discount the completed technology.
Incomplete technology represents a mix of near- and mid-term prospects for the
business and imparts a certain level of uncertainty. The valuation report
prepared by the Company's appraiser suggests that a rate of 27% be ascribed to
the excess earnings of incomplete technology.

         ATACS. Because ATACS did not have short-term or long term debt as of
the date of acquisition, the Moody's seasoned Baa rate for May 19, 1998 was
utilized as the cost of debt. The Capital Asset Pricing Model was used to
determine the cost of equity. It combines a risk


                                       17
<PAGE>   18

free rate of return with an equity risk premium multiplied by a factor, referred
to as Beta, which is based on the performance of common stock prices of similar
publicly traded companies. Employing these data, the discount rate attributable
to the business was 17.5%, which was used for valuing completed technology.
Since incomplete technology represents a mix of near- and mid-term prospects for
the business and imparts a certain level of uncertainty and would require a
higher return than completed technology, the valuation report prepared by the
Company's appraiser suggests that a rate of 22.5% be ascribed to the excess
earnings of incomplete technology.

         SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES. Sales and marketing expenses were $8.8
million or 20% of total revenues in the second quarter of 1998 compared to $5.2
million or 19% of total revenues in the second quarter of 1997. Sales and
marketing expenses were $16.4 million or 21% of total revenues in the first six
months of 1998 compared to $9.8 million or 19% of total revenues in the first
six months of 1997. The increases in sales and marketing expenses were due
primarily to increases in staffing related to the Company's expansion of its
direct sales and marketing staff, including opening sales offices in Canada,
Germany, South Africa, France and Japan.

         GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative
expenses were $3.7 million or 9% of total revenues in the second quarter of
1998, compared to $2.8 million or 10% of total revenues in the second quarter of
the prior year. General and administrative expenses were $7.0 million or 9% of
total revenues in the first six months of 1998, compared to $5.2 million or 10%
of total revenues in the first six months of the prior year. General and
administrative expenses, excluding acquisition related costs of $429,000, were
$3.2 million or 8% of total revenues in the second quarter of 1998, compared to
$2.8 million or 10% of total revenues in the second quarter of the prior year.
General and administrative expenses, excluding acquisition related costs of
$673,000, were $6.3 million or 8% of total revenues in the first six months of
1998, compared to $5.2 million or 10% of total revenues in the first six months
of the prior year. The increase in absolute dollars was due primarily to
increased staffing and related expenses, including recruiting costs, to support
higher levels of sales and development activity of the Company resulting in part
from the Company's recent acquisitions.

         ACQUISITION RELATED AMORTIZATION EXPENSES. Acquisition related
amortization expenses were $806,000 or 2% and 1% of total revenues during the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively. These expenses
represent the amortization of intangible assets purchased in conjunction with
the Company's acquisitions of PCS and FTI and the asset purchase of ATACS during
the first six months of 1998.

         TOTAL OTHER INCOME, NET. Other income for the second quarter of 1998
was $603,000 compared to $481,000 in the second quarter of the prior year. Other
income for the first six months of 1998 was $982,000 compared to $910,000 in the
first six months of the prior year. Other income is comprised primarily of
interest income earned on cash and investment balances, net of interest expense
related to the 4.75% convertible subordinated notes due 2003. The increase is
the result of increased interest income related to the increase in investments,
partially offset by the interest expense related to the notes.

         INCOME TAX PROVISION. The income tax provisions of $2.9 million and
$1.5 million in the second quarters of 1998 and 1997, respectively, and the
income tax provisions of $5.7 million and $2.9 million during the first six
months of 1998 and 1997, respectively, are based on


                                       18
<PAGE>   19

management's estimates of the effective tax rates to be incurred by the Company
during those respective full fiscal years. The 1998 income tax provisions
include the tax effects of non-deductible, one-time write-offs of in-process
research and development and/or amortization expense related to the purchases of
PCS and FTI. The income tax provision of $1.5 million in the second quarter of
1997 and $2.9 million during the first six months of 1997 was lower than 1997
taxes at statutory rates primarily as a result of CompReview's subchapter S
corporation status prior to the acquisition, which resulted in CompReview's tax
liability being borne by its former stockholders. As of the date of the
acquisition, CompReview's tax status was changed to C corporation. In the
future, the Company expects that the effective tax rate will be reflective of
the tax rate of other California-based companies.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Net cash provided by operating activities during the first six months
of 1998 was $12.8 million, which primarily represented net income before
non-cash charges for purchased research and development and depreciation and
amortization of approximately $13.0 million, offset in part by an increase in
accounts receivable. Net cash used in investing activities was $86.5 million
during the first six months of 1998, primarily due to net purchases of
investments of $81.5 million. Net cash provided by financing activities of
$101.1 million during the first six months of 1998 was primarily related to
proceeds from the issuance of the Company's 4.75% convertible subordinated notes
due 2003 of $100.0 million issued in conjunction with the Company's debt
offering in March 1998 and net proceeds of $4.9 million from the issuance of
common stock. This was partially offset by costs of approximately $2.9 million
related to the issuance of the above-mentioned convertible subordinated notes.

         At June 30, 1998, the Company had $147.9 million in cash, cash
equivalents and investments available for sale. The Company believes that its
current cash, cash equivalents and investments available for sale balances,
borrowings under its credit facility and net cash provided by operating
activities, will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital
expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 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 also be used to acquire or invest in complementary
businesses or products or otherwise 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.
