INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN REPORT
Item 5. Other Events
The registrant may, at its option, report under this item any events,
with respect to which information is not otherwise called for by this form,
that the registrant deems of importance to security holders. On October 4, 1996,
the registrant completed its acquisition of Landmark Graphics Corporation
(Landmark) following the approval and adoption of an agreement and plan of
merger by Landmark shareholders. The acquisition has been accounted for using
the "pooling of interests" method of accounting for business combinations.
Landmark is not a significant subsidiary within the meaning of such term as used
in Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Nevertheless, there is included in Exhibit 20 hereto supplemental selected
financial data based upon the consolidated financial statements of the
registrant and Landmark. Such data has been restated for the dates and periods
indicated to give effect to the acquisition using the pooling of interests
method of accounting for business combinations. Such financial information is
supplemental and does not include all the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
included in the registrant's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Moreover, such
information may not necessarily reflect the results of operations or the
financial position of the registrant that would have actually resulted had the
acquisition occurred as of the date and for the periods indicated or be
indicative of future results of operations of the registrant.
