ITEM 2:  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

CompReview, Inc. Acquisition

        On November 28, 1997, HNC Software Inc., a Delaware corporation ("HNC"),
acquired all the stock of privately held CompReview, Inc., a California
corporation ("CompReview") in exchange for the issuance of 4,885,560 shares of
HNC common stock. All outstanding CompReview options were exchanged for options
to purchase 195,419 shares of HNC common stock. The acquisition was effected
through a statutory merger (the "Merger") in which FW1 Acquisition Corp., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of HNC ("Sub"), was merged into CompReview, with
CompReview surviving the Merger. As a result of the Merger, CompReview became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of HNC. The issuance of the shares of HNC common stock
and options to purchase HNC common stock to CompReview's stockholders and option
holders in the Merger was approved by HNC's stockholders at a special
stockholders' meeting held on November 25, 1997.

        The Merger was consummated pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization dated as of July 14, 1997 (the "Plan") entered into by HNC, Sub,
CompReview and by Robert L. Kaaren and Mishel ("Michael") Munayyer, trustee of
the Michael Munayyer Trust dated August 11, 1995 (the "Munayyer Trust") and an
Agreement of Merger dated as of November 28, 1997 between Sub and CompReview.
Mr. Kaaren and Mr. Munayyer were CompReview's founders and directors and Mr.
Kaaren and the Munayyer Trust (the "CompReview Stockholders") were CompReview's
sole stockholders prior to the Merger. HNC intends to account for the
acquisition of CompReview as a "pooling of interests" transaction for financial
reporting purposes, and the Merger was structured to be a "tax-free"
reorganization for federal income tax purposes. The executive officers of
CompReview were not changed as a result of the Merger, except that Raymond V.
Thomas, HNC's Chief Financial Officer, has been appointed as CompReview's Chief
Financial Officer and Secretary.

        CompReview, based in Costa Mesa, California, develops, markets and
supports CRLink, a software-based system that enables CompReview's customers to
manage and contain the medical costs of workers' compensation and automobile
accident insurance claims. CompReview's customers primarily consist of insurance
companies that provide workers' compensation or automobile accident insurance,
large employers who self-insure against workers' compensation claims, third
party administrators that administer such claims for insurers and managed care
companies that implement cost-containment strategies. To date, the vast majority
of CompReview's revenues have been derived from the workers' compensation
insurance field.

        CRLink automates the review and analysis of medical bills related to
workers' compensation and automobile accident insurance claims by comparing
medical providers' charges against mandatory state workers' compensation fee
schedules (which impose limits on the amounts charged for workers' compensation
claims), against usual, customary and reasonable ("UCR") charges for the billed
services in the relevant geographic area and against preferred provider
organization ("PPO") contract fee rates. CRLink then automatically reprices and
reduces medical bills to conform them to state fee schedules, UCR rates and PPO
rates, as applicable, thus reducing reimbursement amounts. In addition to its
bill analysis and repricing functions, CRLink also includes tools that enable
insurers to manage the entire claims handling process, to centralize repricing
programs with PPO networks, to conduct utilization reviews and to generate
reports on a claim's status. Customers can also purchase add-on modules to
CRLink to expand its functions, including a module that enables insurance payors
to expand their coverage to new preferred provider organizations through a
provider organization database. CRLink is offered to customers either as a
licensed product used by the client internally, or as an outsourced service
provided by CompReview's own service bureau.

        Under the terms of the Plan, the outstanding shares of CompReview common
stock and all options to purchase CompReview common stock that were outstanding
under CompReview's 1995 Stock Option Plan prior to the Merger ("CompReview
Options") were converted in the Merger into a total number of shares of HNC
Common Stock issued and subject to options to purchase HNC Common Stock ("HNC
Options") equal to the sum of (a) 5,000,000 shares of HNC common stock plus (b)
the number of shares of HNC Common Stock equal to the amount of CompReview's
retained

earnings at October 31, 1997 (the last calendar month end prior to the closing
of the Merger) divided by the average of the closing prices per share of HNC
common stock for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the closing date of
the Merger. Based on this formula, each share of CompReview common stock that
was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was converted into
approximately 0.488556154 shares of HNC common stock (subject to rounding to
eliminate fractional shares), and each CompReview Option that was outstanding
immediately prior to the Merger was assumed by HNC on the terms of CompReview's
1995 Stock Option Plan and converted into an option (an "HNC Option") to
purchase 0.488556154 shares of HNC common stock (subject to rounding to
eliminate fractional options) at an exercise price per share of HNC Common Stock
equal to the exercise price per share that was in effect for such CompReview
Option immediately prior to the Merger divided by the 0.488556154 conversion
rate. The conversion ratio described above was negotiated and determined on the
basis of: (i) the assumed value of CompReview, as determined by HNC's management
following its review of CompReview's business and financial position, and its
discussions with CompReview's management (ii) other information provided to
HNC's management by its investment banking firm; (iii) a comparison of certain
financial and stock valuation information for HNC and CompReview with similar
types of information for certain other companies in businesses comparable to
those of HNC and CompReview.

        Based on this conversion ratio, the 10,000,000 shares of CompReview
common stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of
the Merger were converted into a total of 4,885,560 shares of HNC common stock
(which represented approximately 20% of HNC's outstanding common stock
immediately after the effectiveness of the Merger) and the 400,000 CompReview
Options that were outstanding immediately prior to the Merger were converted
into HNC Options to purchase approximately 195,419 shares of HNC common stock.
The two CompReview Stockholders each received fifty percent (50%) of the
4,885,560 shares of HNC Common Stock issued in the Merger and the HNC Options
issued in the Merger were issued to three officers of CompReview.

        The issuance of the shares of HNC common stock and the HNC Options in
the Merger was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act"), in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section
4(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Accordingly,
such shares are subject to the resale restrictions imposed by Rule 144 under the
1933 Act. HNC intends to register the issuance of the shares of HNC's common
stock that are subject to the HNC Options issued in the Merger on a Form S-8
registration statement in December 1997. Additionally, HNC has agreed with the
CompReview Stockholders in a Registration Rights Agreement to use its best
efforts to promptly register the resale of the shares of HNC common stock issued
to the CompReview Stockholders in the Merger on a "shelf" Form S-3 registration
statement that would be kept effective until the first anniversary of the
effective date of the Merger.

        In order to comply with the requirements for pooling accounting
treatment, the affiliates of HNC and the former affiliates of CompReview have
agreed not to sell or transfer their shares of HNC stock until HNC has publicly
released a report including the combined financial results of HNC and CompReview
covering a period of at least thirty (30) days of post-Merger combined
operations of HNC and CompReview.

        Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, HNC, CompReview, the stockholders of
CompReview and an escrow agent entered into an Escrow Agreement, pursuant to
which ten percent (10%) of the shares of HNC common stock that were issued to
the CompReview Stockholders in the Merger have been placed in an escrow account
to secure and collateralize certain indemnification obligations of the
CompReview Stockholders to HNC.

        Contemporaneously with the Merger, Robert L. Kaaren and Michael E.
Munayyer each entered into: (i) an Employment Agreement with CompReview, as the
surviving corporation in the Merger, providing for, among other things, certain
terms of employment at a specified minimum salary; and (ii) a Non-Competition
Agreement with HNC and CompReview providing, among other things, that the
employee will not engage in certain activities competitive with CompReview's
business for a period of up to three years.

        More detailed information regarding the CompReview acquisition can be
found in HNC's definitive proxy statement for its special meeting of
stockholders held on November 25, 1997, which has been filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

                NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

        In management's opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial
statements for CompReview, Inc. ("CompReview" or the "Company") as of September
30, 1997 and for the nine months ended September 30, 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. Accordingly, they 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. The accompanying
unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31,
1996 presented elsewhere in this filing. Footnotes and other disclosures as of
September 30, 1997 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
which would substantially duplicate the disclosures in the Company's audited
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1996, have been omitted.
The interim financial information herein is not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year ending
December 31, 1997.

NOTE 2 - NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS

        In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("FAS130"), "Reporting Comprehensive
Income." The Company will adopt FAS130 as required for all periods beginning
after December 15, 1997. This statement establishes standards for reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components in financial statements.
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." The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of
FAS130 will have on its financial statements.

        In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("FAS131"), "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." The Company will adopt
FAS131 as required for all periods beginning after December 15, 1997, commencing
with its annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 1998. This
statement requires the disclosure of certain information about operating
segments in the financial statements. It also requires that public business
enterprises report certain information about their products and services, the
geographic areas in which they operate, and their major customers. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FAS131 will have on its
financial statements.

        In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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, not
including potential common stock. "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 effect of the adoption of FAS128 on earnings per share is as

NOTE 3 -  PRO FORMA NET INCOME

CompReview is a subchapter S corporation for federal and certain state income
tax purposes, and its historical financial statements reflect only certain state
taxes on subchapter S corporations. Federal and state income taxes have been
provided as if CompReview had filed subchapter C corporation income tax returns
for the periods presented.

NOTE 4 -  PRO FORMA BALANCE SHEET

The accompanying pro forma balance sheet reflects the recognition of a net
deferred tax liability relating to federal and state income taxes as if
CompReview had been taxed as a C corporation rather than a subchapter S
corporation.

   Deferred tax assets (liabilities) at September 30, 1997 are summarized as
follows:

Board of Directors
CompReview, Inc.
Newport Beach, California

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CompReview, Inc. (the
Company) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of income,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of CompReview, Inc. as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Business - CompReview, Inc. (the Company) develops cost containment
      software and services for the healthcare industry, primarily related to
      billing reviews of workers' compensation and personal injury claims
      throughout the United States. Corporate headquarters are located in
      Newport Beach, California, with an additional office located in Irving,
      Texas. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers
      and generally does not require collateral.

      Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
      with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
      estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
      liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
      date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
      expenses during the reporting years. Actual results could differ from
      those estimates.

      Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include savings
      accounts and certificates of deposit. Cash equivalents are deemed to be
      any short-term, nonequity investment that is readily convertible to cash,
      is not subject to market fluctuations, and has an original maturity of
      three months or less.

      Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost. The
      Company provides for depreciation primarily on accelerated methods over
      estimated useful lives, ranging from five to seven years. Leasehold
      improvements are amortized over the lesser of the life of the improvement
      or the term of the lease.

      Income Taxes - The Company has elected to be taxed for federal and state
      purposes under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and California
      Revenue and Taxation Code, respectively. Accordingly, current taxable
      income or loss is allocated to the stockholders who are responsible for
      payment of taxes or receive credit for taxes thereon. In accordance with
      provisions of the California Revenue and Taxation Code regarding S
      corporations, the Company pays California taxes at the rate of 1.5% of
      taxable income.

      The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of
      Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109. Under SFAS No. 109,
      deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary
      differences in recording such items for financial reporting purposes and
      for income tax purposes.

      Stock Split - In February 1996, the Company effected a ten-for-one split
      of its common stock and increased the number of shares authorized to
      20,000,000. All share amounts in the accompanying financial statements and
      footnotes have been restated to reflect the stock split.

      Revenue Recognition - The Company licenses its software primarily to
      insurers, health maintenance organizations, self-insured employers and
      other businesses that reimburse health care costs. Software licensing
      agreements generally provide for a guaranteed minimum license fee and
      transactional fees. The guaranteed minimum license fees are recognized
      ratably over the respective license periods. Transactional fees are
      recognized as revenue when fees based on system usage exceed the monthly
      minimum license fees.

      The Company offers payors the option of retaining the Company to review
      and reprice medical bills for them rather that licensing the software.
      Related service bureau fees are assessed to customers on the basis of
      volume of bills processed and are recognized as revenue when the
      processing services are performed.

      Installation and implementation services fees are billed separately and
      recognized as revenue on a time and materials basis.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
              FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994

      Software Costs - Software product development costs incurred from the time
      technological feasibility is reached until the product is available for
      general release to customers are capitalized and reported at the lower of
      cost or net realizable value. Through December 31, 1996, no significant
      amounts were expended subsequent to reaching technological feasibility.

      Long-Lived Assets - The Company investigates potential impairments of
      long-lived assets, on an exception basis, when events or changes in
      circumstances have made recovery of an asset's carrying value unlikely. An
      impairment loss is recognized when the sum of the expected future net cash
      flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. No such impairments
      of long-lived assets existed through December 31, 1996.

      Stock-Based Compensation - In October 1995, the Financial Accounting
      Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
      Compensation. The Company has determined that it will not change to the
      fair value method and will continue to use Accounting Principles Board
      (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, for
      measurement and recognition of employee-based stock transactions.

      Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal
      year 1995 and 1994 financial statements to conform to the 1996
      presentation.

      Pro forma net income - Pro forma net income represents the results of
      operations adjusted to reflect a provision for income tax on historical
      income before S corporation state income tax provision, which gives effect
      to the change in the Company's income tax status to a C corporation
      subsequent to the merger with HNC (Note 8).

      Pro forma net income per share - Pro forma net income per share has been
      computed by dividing pro forma net income by the weighted average number
      of common shares and common stock equivalents, using the treasury stock
      method, outstanding during the period.


2.    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

                                      1996          1995           1994

                                    ========      ========       ========


      Deferred state income taxes are primarily attributable to timing

      for tax purposes.

      follows:



                                                         1996             1995

6.    MAJOR CUSTOMERS

      During the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, sales to one
      customer were approximately 25%, 27% and 26% of net sales, respectively.
      Another customer accounted for approximately 12%, 11% and 14% of net sales
      in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. A third customer accounted for
      approximately 20% of net sales in 1994. The Company generally provides
      services to customers under contacts with terms of one to five years,
      which can generally be cancelled by the customer on 90 days' notice. A
      decision by a significant customer to decrease the amount of services
      purchased from the Company or to not renew a contract could have a
      material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results
      of operations.

7.    STOCK OPTIONS

      On October 16, 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Stock Option Plan (the
      Plan) which permits the Company to grant stock options to officers,
      directors, key employees and other qualified persons. The Plan provides
      that the option price shall be fixed by the Board of Directors or by a
      committee appointed by the Board of Directors (the Committee), but shall
      not be less than 85% of the fair market value at date of grant as
      determined by the Board of Directors or the Committee. An aggregate of
      600,000 shares of the Company's common stock may be issued pursuant to the
      Plan. Options are exercisable at various dates and expire ten years after
      the date of grant. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, 400,000 and 350,000
      options, respectively, were outstanding with an exercise price equal to
      the fair market value of the Company's common stock ($1.14) at the date of
      grant.

      At December 31, 1996, 200,000 shares were available for future grant under
      the Plan. Stock option activity for the two years ended December 31, 1996
      was as follows:

      The weighted average fair value of options granted during 1996 and 1995
      was $0.21 and $0.39, respectively. The weighted average remaining
      contractual life of outstanding options at December 31, 1996 was 8.9
      years. No shares were exercisable at December 31, 1996.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
              FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994

      As discussed in Note 1, the Company has elected to account for its
      stock-based awards using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB
      Opinion No. 25 and its related interpretations. No compensation expense
      has been recognized in the financial statements for employee stock
      arrangements.

      SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, requires the
      disclosure of pro forma net income had the Company adopted the fair value
      method as of the beginning of fiscal 1995. Under SFAS No. 123, the fair
      value of stock-based awards to employees is calculated through the use of
      option-pricing models, even though such models were developed to estimate
      the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without
      vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from the Company's stock
      option awards. These models also require subjective assumptions, including
      future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly
      affect the calculated values. The Company's calculations were made using
      the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average
      assumptions: expected life, 10 years; stock volatility, 0%; risk-free
      interest rate, 6.0%; and no dividends during the expected term. The
      Company's calculations are based on a single-option valuation approach and
      forfeitures are recognized as they occur. If the computed fair values of
      the 1996 and 1995 awards had been amortized to expense over the vesting
      period of the awards, net income would have been reduced to $5,435,324 and
      $3,924,750 in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

8.    SUBSEQUENT EVENT (UNAUDITED)

      On November 28, 1997, HNC Software Inc.(HNC), acquired all the stock of
      the Company, in exchange for the issuance of 4,885,560 shares of HNC
      common stock. All outstanding options to purchase the Company's common
      stock were exchanged for options to purchase 195,419 shares of HNC common
      stock. The acquisition was effected through a statutory merger for which
      HNC intends to account as a "pooling of interests" transaction for
      financial reporting purposes, and the merger was structured to be a
      "tax-free" reorganization for income tax purposes.

                                HNC SOFTWARE INC.
          NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED COMBINED CONDENSED
                              FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(1) The unaudited pro forma consolidated combined condensed financial statements
    of HNC and CompReview give retroactive effect to the CompReview acquisition
    which will be accounted for as a pooling of interests and, as a result, such
    statements are presented as if the companies had been combined for all
    periods presented.

    There were no material differences between the accounting policies of HNC
    and CompReview. Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the pro
    forma presentation.

(2) Transaction costs expected to be incurred to complete the Merger approximate
    $1.4 million and consist primarily of investment banking, legal and
    accounting fees, and printing, mailing and registration expenses. Due to the
    non-recurring nature of these costs, they have not been reflected in the pro
    forma statement of operations.

(3) The pro forma deferred income tax adjustment reflects the recognition of a
    net deferred tax liability relating to federal and state income taxes as if
    CompReview had been taxed as a C corporation rather than a subchapter S
    corporation.

(4) The pro forma adjustment reflects the exchange of all outstanding shares of
    CompReview's capital stock for an aggregate of approximately 4,885,560
    shares of HNC Common Stock and the exchange of all outstanding options to
    purchase CompReview Common Stock for options to purchase HNC Common Stock to
    effect the CompReview acquisition. No changes will be made to the terms of
    the CompReview Options in connection with the merger.

(5) As CompReview terminated its subchapter S corporation election in connection
    with the Merger, undistributed earnings of CompReview have been reflected as
    a contribution to the capital of the combined company.

(6) CompReview is a Subchapter S corporation for federal and certain state
    income tax purposes, and has in the ordinary course of its business
    historically paid cash distributions to its stockholders to provide them
    with sufficient cash to meet their tax liabilities arising from CompReview's
    operations. Consistent with its current dividend practices, CompReview
    distributed to its stockholders additional cash dividends of $0.05 per share
    during October 1997 prior to the Effective Time of the Merger.

(7) CompReview is a subchapter S corporation for federal and certain state
    income tax purposes, and its historical financial statements reflect only
    certain state taxes on subchapter S corporations as such taxable income or
    loss is allocable to its stockholders, who are responsible for payment of
    taxes.

    For purposes of the unaudited pro forma consolidated combined condensed
    statements of income for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and
    1996, and each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996,
    federal and state income taxes have been provided as if CompReview had filed
    subchapter C corporation income tax returns for the periods presented.

(8) Pro forma per share amounts are based on weighted average options, using the
    treasury stock method, and shares outstanding during each period, assuming
    each then outstanding share of CompReview Common Stock or CompReview Option
    is exchanged for 0.4886 shares or options to purchase 0.4886 shares of HNC
    Common Stock. The 0.4886 Conversion Ratio is based on application of the
    Merger conversion formula.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
    of HNC Software Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of income, of cash flows and of changes in stockholders'
equity (deficit) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of HNC Software Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

As described in Note 2, on November 28, 1997, HNC Software Inc. merged with
CompReview, Inc. in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. The
accompanying supplemental consolidated financial statements give retroactive
effect to the merger of HNC Software Inc. with CompReview, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying supplemental consolidated balance sheet and the
related supplemental consolidated statements of income, of cash flows and of
changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of HNC Software Inc. and its subsidiaries at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express and opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

   The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 includes the
accounts of RDC and Retek as of December 31, 1996 and 1995. The consolidated
statements of income, of cash flows and of changes in stockholders' equity
(deficit) for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996
include the results of RDC and Retek for the years then ended. The term
"Company" as used in these consolidated financial statements refers to HNC
Software Inc. and its subsidiaries, including RDC and Retek.

     Principles of Consolidation

   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated.

     Financial Statement Preparation

   The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                      (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

     Cash Equivalents

   Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments and consist of investments in
money market accounts and commercial paper purchased with maturities of three
months or less.

     Investments

   Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in
marketable debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates
such designation as of each balance sheet date. As of and for the year ended
December 31, 1994 based upon the Company's intent and ability, the Company
classified such securities in the held-to-maturity category and recorded these
securities at amortized cost, which approximated market value. As of December
31, 1995, the Company reassessed its intent and ability with respect to these
securities. As a result of this reassessment, the Company reclassified all
securities as "available for sale" and accounts for them accordingly on a
prospective basis. Available for sale securities are carried at fair value with
unrealized gains or losses related to these securities included in stockholders'
equity in the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

     Property and Equipment

   Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization
are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets of three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over
the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the remaining terms of the
related leases. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred.

      Software Costs

   Software costs are recorded at cost and amortized over their estimated useful
lives of 36 to 42 months. Software costs are comprised of purchased software and
other rights which are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. At
December 31, 1996 and 1995, software costs of $2,561 and $0, respectively, are
included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet net of accumulated
amortization of $642 and $0, respectively.

   Software product development costs incurred from the time technological
feasibility is reached until the product is available for general release to
customers are capitalized and reported at the lower of cost or net realizable
value. Through December 31, 1996, no significant amounts were expended
subsequent to reaching technological feasibility.

     Long-Lived Assets

   The Company investigates potential impairments of long-lived assets, certain
identifiable intangibles and associated goodwill, on an exception basis, when
events or changes in circumstances have made recovery of an asset's carrying
value unlikely. An impairment loss is recognized when the sum of the expected
future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. No such
impairments of long-lived assets existed through December 31, 1996.

     Stock-Based Compensation

   The Company measures compensation expense for its stock-based employee
compensation plans using the intrinsic value method and provides pro forma
disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value-based
method had been applied in measuring compensation expense (Note 10).

     Revenue Recognition

   Revenue from long-term periodic software license agreements is generally
recognized ratably over the respective license periods. Revenue from perpetual
licenses of the Company's software for which there are no significant continuing
obligations and collection of the related receivables is probable is recognized
on delivery of the software and acceptance by the customer.

                      (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

   Revenue from software installation and contract services is 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. Amounts received in advance of performance under contracts are
recorded as deferred revenue and are generally recognized within one year from
receipt. Contract losses are recorded as a charge to income in the period such
losses are first identified. Unbilled receivables are stated at estimated
realizable value. Contract costs under government contracts, including indirect
costs, are subject to audit and adjustment by negotiations between the Company
and government representatives. Through 1990, indirect government contract costs
have been agreed upon with government representatives. Revenues from government
contracts have been recorded in amounts that are expected to be realized upon
final settlement.

   Revenue from product sales, which is included in contracts and other revenue,
is recognized upon shipment to the customer.

     Income Taxes

   Current income tax expense is the amount of income taxes expected to be
payable for the current year. A deferred income tax asset or liability is
computed for the expected future impact of differences between the financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities as well as the expected future
tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation
allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount "more likely than not" to be realized in future tax returns. Tax rate
changes are reflected in income during the period such changes are enacted.

     Foreign Currency Translation

   The financial statements of the Company's international operations are
translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates for assets and
liabilities and average exchange rates during the period for revenues and
expenses. Cumulative translation gains and losses are excluded from results of
operations and accumulated as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions (transactions
denominated in a currency other than the entity's local currency) are included
in the consolidated statement of income and are not material.

     Diversification of Credit Risk

   The Company's financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of
credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, investments and trade
accounts receivable which are generally not collateralized. The Company's policy
is to place its cash, cash equivalents and investments with high credit quality
financial institutions and commercial companies and government agencies in order
to limit the amount of its credit exposure. The Company's software license and
installation agreements and commercial development contracts are primarily with
customers in the financial services, insurance and retail industries. The
Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses.

   During 1996, 1995 and 1994, sales under prime and subcontracts with the
federal government represented 3.0%, 7.3%, and 11.3%, respectively, of the
Company's total revenues. One domestic customer accounted for 11.4%, 12.4% and
11.6% of total revenues in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Revenues from
international operations and export sales, primarily to Western Europe and
Canada, represented approximately 23.4%, 17.9%, and 11.4% of total revenues in
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Export sales were $7,310, $4,595 and $2,355
in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments

   The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accrued liabilities, the
bank line of credit and notes payable to stockholders approximate fair value
because of the short term maturities of these financial instruments. The
carrying amounts of capital lease obligations approximate their fair values
based on interest rates currently available to the Company for borrowings with
similar terms and maturities.

     Reincorporation and stock split

   In May 1995, the stockholders approved an Agreement and Plan of Merger
whereby the Company merged with and into a newly incorporated Delaware
corporation ("HNC Delaware"), which is the surviving corporation. In conjunction
with the merger, each share of the Company's common stock, preferred stock and
options and warrants to purchase the Company's common stock was exchanged for
one-half share of HNC Delaware's common stock, preferred stock and options and
warrants to purchase HNC Delaware's common stock, at twice the exercise price
for options and warrants. All references to share and per share amounts of
common and preferred stock and other data in these financial statements have
been retroactively restated to reflect the reincorporation.

   In April 1996, the Company consummated a two-for-one stock split effected in
the form of a common stock dividend. All references in these consolidated
financial statements to share and per share amounts have been adjusted to give
retroactive effect to the stock split.

     Pro forma net income per share

   Pro forma net income per share is computed based on the weighted average
number of common shares and common stock equivalents, using the treasury stock
method, outstanding during the respective periods after giving retroactive
effect to the conversion, which occurred upon the closing of the Company's
initial public offering, of all outstanding shares of preferred stock into 8,957
shares of common stock. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 83, all stock options granted from May 5, 1994 through
June 26, 1995 have been included as outstanding for all periods prior to June
26, 1995 using the treasury stock method and the $7.00 initial public offering
price per share. For periods prior to 1996, historical earnings per share are
not presented because such amounts are not deemed meaningful due to the
significant change in the Company's capital structure that occurred in
connection with the initial public offering.

     Net income per share

   Net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
common shares and common stock equivalents, using the treasury stock method,
outstanding during the period.

     Reclassifications

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

NOTE 2 -- ACQUISITIONS

   On August 30, 1996, the Company completed an acquisition of Risk Data
Corporation ("RDC"). Under the terms of the acquisition, accounted for as a
pooling of interests, the Company exchanged 1,891 common shares for all of the
then outstanding shares of RDC preferred and common stock. All periods presented
have been retroactively restated (Note 1).

   On November 29, 1996, the Company completed an acquisition of all of the
outstanding shares of Retek Distribution Corporation. Under the terms of the
acquisition, accounted for as a pooling of interests, the Company exchanged
1,367 common shares for all of Retek's then outstanding shares. All periods
presented have been retroactively restated (Note 1).

   Transaction costs of $563 and $515 were incurred to complete the mergers with
RDC and Retek, respectively. Transaction costs were charged to income as
incurred and consisted primarily of investment banker, legal and accounting
fees, and printing, mailing and registration expenses.

   Maturities for non-current investments in securities range from one to two
years. Included in the Company's 1995 income statement is a realized gain in the
amount of $3 related to the sale of held-to-maturity securities with an
aggregate amortized cost in the amount of $2,464. No significant gains or losses
were recognized during the year ended December 31, 1996. The cost of securities
sold is determined by the specific identification method.

NOTE 5 -- NOTES PAYABLE

   The Company has a Loan and Security Agreement with a bank which provides for
a $5,000 revolving line of credit through July 10, 1997. The agreement requires
that the Company maintain certain financial ratios and levels of tangible net
worth and also restricts the Company's ability to pay cash dividends and
repurchase stock without the bank's consent. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the
Company had $0 outstanding under the revolving line of credit. Any borrowings
under the agreement will be collateralized by substantially all of the Company's
assets. Interest is payable monthly at the bank's prime rate, which was 8.25% at
December 31, 1996.

   The RDC credit facility was comprised of a revolving line of credit secured
by eligible accounts receivable as well as a bridge loan which was secured by
the guarantees of certain stockholders. The revolving line of credit matured on
January 5, 1997. The bridge loan matured on September 5, 1996. All outstanding
amounts were repaid during 1996 and neither credit facility was renewed.

   During 1995, the preferred stockholders of RDC loaned the Company $1,000
under subordinated note agreements (secured by the assets of RDC but
subordinated to borrowings under the RDC line of credit) bearing interest at 9%.
All outstanding amounts were repaid during 1996.

NOTE 7 -- LICENSE OF CHARACTER RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY

   In November 1992, the Company entered into an agreement that granted Mitek a
license to use certain character recognition technology developed by the
Company. The agreement provided for the Company to receive an initial license
and support fee payment of $1,350 and an additional license and support fee
based on a percentage of Mitek's revenue from the sale of character recognition
products through November 1995. The agreement also required that the Company
sell certain proprietary computer boards to Mitek at a substantial discount from
normal sales prices, but in excess of cost, and provide ongoing engineering and
technical support over the agreement period, which ended during November 1995.
As the Company had a significant continuing obligation under this agreement, the
initial license and support fee received thereunder was deferred on receipt and
recognized as revenue over the performance period based on estimated sales of
proprietary computer boards. The additional license and support fees were
recognized as a percentage of actual Mitek revenues pursuant to the agreement.

   Revenue recognized pursuant to this agreement, which is included in
"contracts and other" in the consolidated statement of income, is summarized as
follows:

   During June 1995, the Company completed its initial public offering for sale
of 5,175 shares of common stock (of which 2,375 shares were sold by the Company
and 2,800 shares were sold by certain selling stockholders) at a price to the
public of $7.00 per share, which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of
$15,461 after the payment of underwriters' commissions but before the deduction
of offering expenses. Upon the closing of the Company's initial public offering,
all outstanding shares of Series A, B, C, D, and E convertible preferred stock

entitled to any undeclared cumulative dividends and all class voting rights
terminated.

   During December 1995, the Company completed a secondary public offering for
sale of 3,000 shares of common stock (of which 1,116 shares were sold by the
Company and 1,884 shares were sold by certain selling stockholders) at a price
to the public of $18.50 per share, which resulted in net proceeds to the Company
of $19,606 after the payment of underwriters' commissions but before the
deduction of offering expenses.

   The Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 4,000 shares of Preferred
Stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares without any further vote
or action by the stockholders. The rights of the holders of Common Stock will be
subject to the rights of the holders of any Preferred Stock that may be issued
in the future.

      At December 31, 1994, the Company provided a deferred tax asset valuation
allowance for deferred tax assets which management determined were "more likely
than not" unrealizable based on trends in operating results after eliminating
the effects of non-recurring revenue (Note 7). During 1995, the Company released
the valuation allowance related to HNC's deferred tax assets based on
management's assessment that it was more likely than not that the Company would
realize a portion of those assets in future periods due to improvements in HNC's
operating results. During 1996, the Company released the valuation allowances
related to RDC and Retek deferred tax assets based on management's assessment
that it was more likely than not that the Company would realize those assets in
future periods due to improvements in the operating results of those
subsidiaries.

      During 1996 and 1995, the Company realized certain tax benefits related to
stock option plans in the amount of $7,889 and $800, respectively. The benefit
from the stock option tax deduction is credited directly to paid-in capital.

      In connection with the acquisition of Retek, the Company made an Internal
Revenue Code Section 338 election for federal and state tax purposes, resulting
in the treatment of the acquisition as a taxable transaction, whereby the tax
bases of the acquired assets and liabilities were adjusted to their fair values
as of the date of the acquisition. As the purchase price exceeded the carrying
value of the net assets acquired by approximately $46,000, the Company recorded
a deferred tax asset in the amount of $18,397.

      A reconciliation of the income tax benefit to the amount computed by
applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before income tax
provision is summarized as follows:

research and development credit carryforwards, which have no expiration date,
and $100 of foreign tax credit carryforwards, which expire from 1999 to 2000.
Certain of these net operating loss and research and development credit
carryforwards generated by RDC and Retek prior to their acquisitions by HNC are
subject to annual limitations on their utilization and also are limited to
utilization solely by the Company which generated them. Should a substantial
change in HNC's ownership occur, as defined by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, there
will be an annual limitation on the utilization of net operating loss and
research and development credit carryforwards.


NOTE 10 -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

      During 1987, the Company adopted the 1987 Stock Option Plan whereby 2,500
shares of the Company's common stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to
nonqualified and incentive stock options to its officers, directors, key
employees and consultants. The plan, as amended, is administered by the Board of
Directors or its designees and provides generally that, for incentive stock
options and nonqualified stock options, the exercise price must not be less than
the fair market value of the shares as determined by the Board of Directors at
the date of grant. The options expire no later than ten years from the date of
grant and may be exercised in installments based upon stipulated timetables (not
in excess of seven years). At December 31, 1996, options to purchase 545 shares
were exercisable.

      During 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Directors Stock Option Plan (the
"Directors Plan"), the 1995 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan") and the
1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan"). For purposes of the
discussion contained in the three paragraphs below, "fair market value" means
the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market on
the grant date.

      The Directors Plan provides for the issuance of up to 300 nonqualified
stock options to the Company's outside directors. Under the provisions of the
Directors Plan, options to purchase 25 shares of the Company's common stock are
granted to outside directors upon their respective dates of becoming members of
the Board of Directors and 10 additional options will be granted on each
anniversary of such dates. Options under the Directors Plan are granted at the
fair market value of the stock at the grant date and vest at specific times over
a four-year period. At December 31, 1996, options to purchase 40 shares were
exercisable.

      The Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of up to 2,800 shares of the
Company's common stock in the form of nonqualified or incentive stock options,
restricted stock or stock bonuses. In addition, any shares remaining unissued
under the 1987 Stock Option Plan on the effective date of the Incentive Plan,
and any shares issuable upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the 1987
Stock Option Plan that expire or become unexercisable for any reason without
having been exercised in full, will no longer be available for

issuance under the 1987 Stock Option Plan but will be available for issuance
under the Incentive Plan. Nonqualified stock options and restricted stock may be
awarded at a price not less than 85% of the fair market value of the stock at
the date of the award. Incentive stock options must be awarded at a price not
less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock at the date of the award,
or 110% of fair market value for awards to more than 10% stockholders. Options
granted under the Incentive Plan may have a term of up to 10 years. The Company
has the discretion to provide for restrictions and the lapse thereof in respect
of restricted stock awards, and options typically vest at the rate of 25% of the
total grant per year over a four-year period. However, the Company may, at its
discretion, implement a different vesting schedule with respect to any new stock
option grant. At December 31, 1996, 58 shares were exercisable under the
Incentive Plan.

      The Purchase Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 400 shares of
common stock. Each purchase period, eligible employees may designate between 2%
and 10% of their cash compensation, subject to certain limitations, to be
deducted from their pay for the purchase of common stock under the Purchase
Plan. The purchase price of the shares under the Purchase Plan is equal to 85%
of the lesser of the fair market value per share, as defined by the Purchase
Plan, on the first day of the twelve-month offering period or the last day of
each six-month purchase period. Approximately 65% of eligible employees have
participated in the Plan in the last two years. Under the Purchase Plan, the
Company sold 94 shares to employees in 1996.

      RDC's stock option plan is administered by HNC's Board of Directors. All
outstanding RDC options were converted into options to purchase HNC common stock
and adjusted to give effect to the exchange ratio (Note 2). No changes were made
to the terms of the RDC options in connection with the exchange. Options granted
under the RDC stock option plan generally vest at the rate of 25% of the total
grant per year over a four-year period and expire 10 years after the date of
grant. At December 31, 1996, 63 shares were exercisable under the RDC plan.

      Retek's stock options are administered by HNC's Board of Directors. All
outstanding Retek options were converted into options to purchase the Company's
common stock and adjusted to give effect to the exchange ratio (Note 2). No
changes were made to the terms of the Retek options in connection with the
exchange. Options granted vest ratably over periods from one to four years and
have a term of up to 10 years. At December 31, 1996, options to purchase 28
shares were exercisable.

      Transactions under the Company's stock option and purchase plans during
the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, including options under the RDC
stock option plan and options under the Retek stock option plan but excluding
options to purchase stock of a subsidiary of the Company, Aptex Software Inc.
("Aptex"), are summarized as follows:

      During 1996, Aptex adopted the 1996 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Aptex
Plan") whereby 2,000 shares of Aptex common stock were reserved for issuance
pursuant to nonqualified and incentive stock options and restricted stock
awards. The plan is administered by the Board of Directors of Aptex or its
designees and provides generally that nonqualified stock options and restricted
stock may be awarded at a price not less than 85% of the fair market value of
the stock at the date of the award. Incentive stock options must be awarded at a
price not less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock at the date of
the award, or 110% of fair market value for awards to more than 10%
stockholders. Options granted under the Incentive Plan may have a term of up to
10 years. The Company has the discretion to provide for restrictions and the
lapse thereof in respect of restricted stock awards, and options typically vest
at the rate of 25% of the total grant per year over a four-year period. However,
the Company may, at its discretion, implement a different vesting schedule with
respect to any new stock option grant. During 1996, Aptex issued 1,000 shares of
common stock under the Aptex Plan at an issuance price of $0.03 per share. No
options granted under the Aptex Plan were exercisable at December 31, 1996.

      The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related
Interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation. No compensation
expense has been recognized for its employee stock option grants, which are
fixed in nature, as the options have been granted at fair market value. No
compensation expense has been recognized for the Purchase Plan. Had compensation
cost for the Company's stock-based compensation awards issued during 1996 and
1995 been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates of awards
consistent with the method of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No.

      The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions used for grants during the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively: dividend yield of 0.0% for both years, risk-free interest rates of
6.03% and 6.29%, expected volatility of 70% and 75%, and expected lives of 3.5
years for both years. The fair value of the employees' purchase rights pursuant
to the Purchase Plan is estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the
following assumptions: dividend yield of 0.0% for both years, risk-free interest
rates of 5.36% and 5.66%, expected volatility of 70% and 75%; and an expected
life of 6 months for both years. The weighted-average fair value of those
purchase rights granted in 1996 and 1995 was $9.61 and $2.75, respectively.

      The fair value of each option granted under the Aptex Plan is estimated on
the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following weighted average assumptions used for grants during the year ended
December 31, 1996: dividend yield of 0.0%, risk-free interest rate of 6.42%,
expected volatility of 90%, and an expected life of 9.25 years. Options to
purchase 704 shares were granted during 1996 at a weighted average exercise
price of $0.03 per share. The weighted average fair value of options granted
during the year was $0.03 per share. At December 31, 1996, there were 704
options outstanding under the Aptex Plan with a weighted average exercise price
of $0.03 per share and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 9.74
years.


NOTE 11 -- CONTINGENCIES

      Various claims arising in the course of business, seeking monetary damages
and other relief, are pending. The amount of the liability, if any, from such
claims, cannot be determined with certainty; however, in the opinion of
management, the ultimate liability for such claims will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.


NOTE 12 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENT

      On November 28, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
CompReview, Inc., ("CompReview"), an insurance information technology product
and services company located in Costa Mesa, California, in exchange for the
issuance of 4,885,560 shares of HNC common stock. All outstanding options of
CompReview were exchanged for options to purchase 195,419 shares of HNC common
stock. The acquisition was effected through a statutory merger for which the
Company intends to account as a "pooling of interests" transaction for financial
reporting purposes, and the merger was structured to be a "tax-free"
reorganization for income tax purposes.

      The consolidated financial statements and related notes give retroactive
effect to the mergers on August 30, 1996 with Risk Data Corporation ("RDC"), on
November 29, 1996 with Retek Distribution Corporation ("Retek") and on November
28, 1997 with CompReview, Inc. ("CR"), for all periods presented, accounted for
as poolings of interests. RDC is an insurance information technology services
firm engaged in the business of developing and marketing analytical benchmarking
and risk management software products primarily for insurance carriers, state
insurance funds and third party administrators. Retek develops, markets and
installs inventory management system software primarily for customers in the
retail industry. CR develops, markets and installs cost containment software for
worker's compensation insurance carriers and for insurers that handle automobile
accident personal injury claims.

      The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 includes
the accounts of RDC, Retek and CR as of December 31, 1996 and 1995. The
consolidated statements of income, of cash flows and of changes in stockholders'
equity (deficit) for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1996 include the results of RDC, Retek and CR for the years then ended. The term
"Company" as used in these consolidated financial statements refers to HNC
Software Inc. and its subsidiaries, including RDC, Retek and CR.

      No adjustments to conform accounting methods were required. Certain
amounts have been reclassified with regard to presentation of the financial
information of the three companies. Revenues and net income (loss) for each of
the previously separate companies for the periods prior to their acquisitions
are as follows:

      Principles of Consolidation

      The supplemental consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.

      Financial Statement Preparation

      The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      Cash Equivalents

      Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments and consist of investments
in money market accounts and commercial paper purchased with maturities of three
months or less.

      Investments

      Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in
marketable debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates
such designation as of each balance sheet date. As of and for the year ended
December 31, 1994 based upon the Company's intent and ability, the Company
classified such securities in the held-to-maturity category and recorded these
securities at amortized cost, which approximated market value. As of December
31, 1995, the Company reassessed its intent and ability with respect to these
securities. As a result of this reassessment, the Company reclassified all
securities as "available for sale" and accounts for them accordingly on a
prospective basis. Available for sale securities are carried at fair value with
unrealized gains or losses related to these securities included in stockholders'
equity in the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

      Property and Equipment

      Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization
are computed using both the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
of the assets of three to seven years and an accelerated method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets of five to seven years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or
the remaining term of the related lease. Repair and maintenance costs are
charged to expense as incurred.

      Software Costs

      Software costs are recorded at cost and amortized over their estimated
useful lives of 36 to 42 months. Software costs are comprised of purchased
software and other rights which are recorded at the lower of cost or net
realizable value. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, Company software costs of
$2,561 and $0, respectively, are included in other assets in the consolidated
balance sheet net of accumulated amortization of $642 and $0, respectively.

      Software product development costs incurred from the time technological
feasibility is reached until the product is available for general release to
customers are capitalized and reported at the lower of cost or net realizable
value. Through December 31, 1996, no significant amounts were expended
subsequent to reaching technological feasibility.

      Long-Lived Assets

      The Company investigates potential impairments of long-lived assets,
certain identifiable intangibles and associated goodwill, on an exception basis,
when events or changes in circumstances have made recovery of an asset's
carrying value unlikely. An impairment loss is recognized when the sum of the
expected future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. No
such impairments of long-lived assets existed through December 31, 1996.

      Stock-Based Compensation

      The Company measures compensation expense for its stock-based employee
compensation plans using the intrinsic value method and provides pro forma
disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value-based
method had been applied in measuring compensation expense (Note 10).

      Revenue Recognition

      The Company's revenue from long-term periodic software license agreements
is generally recognized ratably over the respective license periods. Revenue
from perpetual licenses of the Company's software for which there are no
significant continuing obligations and collection of the related receivables is
probable is recognized on delivery of the software and acceptance by the
customer. Revenue from product sales, which is included in contracts and other
revenue, is recognized upon shipment to the customer.

      The Company's revenue from software installation and contract services is
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. Amounts received in advance of performance under contracts
are recorded as deferred revenue and are generally recognized within one year
from receipt. Contract losses are recorded as a charge to income in the period
such losses are first identified. Unbilled receivables are stated at estimated
realizable value. Contract costs under government contracts, including indirect
costs, are subject to audit and adjustment by negotiations between the Company
and government representatives. Through 1990, indirect government contract costs
have been agreed upon with government representatives. Revenues from government
contracts have been recorded in amounts that are expected to be realized upon
final settlement.

      CR licenses its software primarily to insurers, health maintenance
organizations, self-insured employers and other businesses that reimburse health
care costs. Software licensing agreements generally provide for a guaranteed
minimum license fee and transactional fees. The guaranteed minimum licensee fees
are recognized ratably over the respective license periods. Transactional fees
are recognized as revenue when fees based on system usage exceed the monthly
minimum license fees.

      CR offers payors the option of retaining CR to review and reprice medical
bills for them rather than licensing the software. Related service bureau fees
are assessed to customers on the basis of volume of bills processed and are
recognized as revenue when the processing services are performed.

      Installation and implementation services fees are billed separately and
recognized as revenue on a time and materials basis.

      Income Taxes

      The Company's current income tax expense is the amount of income taxes
expected to be payable for the current year. A deferred income tax asset or
liability is computed for the expected future impact of differences between the
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities as well as the
expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit
carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount "more likely than not" to be realized in
future tax returns. Tax rate changes are reflected in income during the period
such changes are enacted.

      Unaudited Pro Forma Adjusted Data

      Prior to the acquisition of CR by HNC on November 28, 1997, CR elected
subchapter S corporation status for income tax purposes; therefore, its income
was included in the tax returns of its stockholders, and no income tax provision
has been recorded for CR other than certain minimum state taxes on subchapter S
corporations. As a result of the acquisition, beginning November 29, 1997, CR
will be subject to corporate income taxes on its taxable income. For comparative
purposes, the consolidated statement of income includes unaudited pro forma
adjusted data with respect to the merged companies' income tax provision as if
CR had been subject to corporate income taxes on its taxable income for all
periods presented.

      Foreign Currency Translation

      The financial statements of the Company's international operations are
translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates for assets and
liabilities and average exchange rates during the period for revenues and
expenses. Cumulative translation gains and losses are excluded from results of
operations and accumulated as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions (transactions
denominated in a currency other than the entity's local currency) are included
in the consolidated statement of income and are not material.

      Diversification of Credit Risk

      The Company's financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of
credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, investments and trade
accounts receivable which are generally not collateralized. The Company's policy
is to place its cash, cash equivalents and investments with high credit quality
financial institutions and commercial companies and government agencies in order
to limit the amount of its credit exposure. The Company's software license and
installation agreements and commercial development contracts are primarily with
customers in the financial services, insurance and retail industries. The
Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses.

      During 1996, 1995 and 1994, sales under prime and subcontracts with the
federal government represented 2.2%, 5.1%, and 7.8%, respectively, of the
Company's total revenues. Revenues from international operations and export
sales, primarily to Western Europe and Canada, represented approximately 17.7%,
12.6%, and 7.9% of total revenues in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Export
sales were $7,310, $4,595 and $2,355 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

      Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments

      The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accrued liabilities,
the bank line of credit and notes payable to stockholders approximate fair value
because of the short term maturities of these financial instruments. The
carrying amounts of capital lease obligations approximate their fair values
based on interest rates currently available to the Company for borrowings with
similar terms and maturities.

      Reincorporation and stock split

      In May 1995, the stockholders approved an Agreement and Plan of Merger
whereby the Company merged with and into a newly incorporated Delaware
corporation ("HNC Delaware"), which is the surviving corporation. In conjunction
with the merger, each share of the Company's common stock, preferred stock and
options and warrants to purchase the Company's common stock was exchanged for
one-half share of HNC Delaware's common stock, preferred stock and options and
warrants to purchase HNC Delaware's common stock, at twice the exercise price
for options and warrants. All references to share and per share amounts of
common and preferred stock and other data in these financial statements have
been retroactively restated to reflect the reincorporation.

      In April 1996, the Company consummated a two-for-one stock split effected
in the form of a common stock dividend. In February 1996, CR effected a
ten-for-one split of its common stock and increased the number of shares
authorized to 20,000. All share amounts in the accompanying financial statements
and footnotes have been restated to reflect the stock splits.

      Pro forma net income per share

      Pro forma net income per share is computed based on the weighted average
number of common shares and common stock equivalents, using the treasury stock
method, outstanding during the respective periods after giving retroactive
effect to the conversion, which occurred upon the closing of the Company's
initial public offering, of all outstanding shares of preferred stock into 8,957
shares of common stock. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 83, all stock options granted from May 5, 1994 through
June 26, 1995 have been included as outstanding for all periods prior to June
26, 1995 using the treasury stock method and the $7.00 initial public offering
price per share. For periods prior to 1996, historical earnings per share are
not presented because such amounts are not deemed meaningful due to the
significant change in the Company's capital structure that occurred in
connection with the initial public offering.

      Net income per share

      Net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
common shares and common stock equivalents, using the treasury stock method,
outstanding during the period.

      Reclassifications

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


NOTE 2 -- ACQUISITIONS

      On August 30, 1996, the Company completed an acquisition of RDC. Under the
terms of the acquisition, accounted for as a pooling of interests, the Company
exchanged 1,891 common shares for all of the then outstanding shares of RDC
preferred and common stock. All periods presented have been retroactively
restated (Note 1).

      On November 29, 1996, the Company completed an acquisition of all of the
outstanding shares of Retek. Under the terms of the acquisition, accounted for
as a pooling of interests, the Company exchanged 1,367 common shares for all of
Retek's then outstanding shares. All periods presented have been retroactively
restated (Note 1).

      On November 28, 1997, the Company completed an acquisition of all of the
outstanding shares of CR. Under the terms of the acquisition, accounted for as a
pooling of interests, the Company exchanged 4,886 common shares for all of CR's
then outstanding shares. All periods presented have been retroactively restated
(Note 1).

      Transaction costs of $563 and $515 were incurred to complete the mergers
with RDC and Retek, respectively. Transaction costs to complete the merger with
CR are estimated to be $1,400. Transaction costs are deferred and charged to
income when the related transaction is consummated. Transaction costs consist
primarily of investment banker, legal and accounting fees, and printing, mailing
and registration expenses.

      Maturities for non-current investments in securities range from one to two
years. Included in the Company's 1995 income statement is a realized gain in the
amount of $3 related to the sale of held-to-maturity securities with an
aggregate amortized cost in the amount of $2,464. No significant gains or losses
were recognized during the year ended December 31, 1996. The cost of securities
sold is determined by the specific identification method.


NOTE 5 -- NOTES PAYABLE

      The Company has a Loan and Security Agreement with a bank which provides
for a $5,000 revolving line of credit through July 10, 1997. The agreement
requires that the Company maintain certain financial ratios and levels of
tangible net worth and also restricts the Company's ability to pay cash
dividends and repurchase stock without the bank's consent. At December 31, 1996
and 1995, the Company had $0 outstanding under the revolving line of credit. Any
borrowings under the agreement will be collateralized by substantially all of
the Company's assets. Interest is payable monthly at the bank's prime rate,
which was 8.25% at December 31, 1996.

NOTE 7 -- LICENSE OF CHARACTER RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY

      In November 1992, the Company entered into an agreement that granted Mitek
a license to use certain character recognition technology developed by the
Company. The agreement provided for the Company to receive an initial license
and support fee payment of $1,350 and an additional license and support fee
based on a percentage of Mitek's revenue from the sale of character recognition
products through November 1995. The agreement also required that the Company
sell certain proprietary computer boards to Mitek at a substantial discount from
normal sales prices, but in excess of cost, and provide ongoing engineering and
technical support over the agreement period, which ended during November 1995.
As the Company had a significant continuing obligation under this agreement, the
initial license and support fee received thereunder was deferred on receipt and
recognized as revenue over the performance period based on estimated sales of
proprietary computer boards. The additional license and support fees were
recognized as a percentage of actual Mitek revenues pursuant to the agreement.

      Revenue recognized pursuant to this agreement, which is included in
"contracts and other" in the consolidated statement of income, is summarized as
follows:

NOTE 8 -- CAPITAL STOCK

      During June 1995, the Company completed its initial public offering for
sale of 5,175 shares of common stock (of which 2,375 shares were sold by the
Company and 2,800 shares were sold by certain selling stockholders) at a price
to the public of $7.00 per share, which resulted in net proceeds to the Company
of $15,461 after the payment of underwriters' commissions but before the
deduction of offering expenses. Upon the closing of the Company's initial public
offering, all outstanding shares of Series A, B, C, D, and E convertible
preferred stock were automatically converted into shares of common stock at
their then effective conversion prices. Upon conversion, the preferred
stockholders were no longer entitled to any undeclared cumulative dividends and
all class voting rights terminated.

      During December 1995, the Company completed a secondary public offering
for sale of 3,000 shares of common stock (of which 1,116 shares were sold by the
Company and 1,884 shares were sold by certain selling stockholders) at a price
to the public of $18.50 per share, which resulted in net proceeds to the Company
of $19,606 after the payment of underwriters' commissions but before the
deduction of offering expenses.

      The Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 4,000 shares of
Preferred Stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares without any further vote
or action by the stockholders. The rights of the holders of Common Stock will be
subject to the rights of the holders of any Preferred Stock that may be issued
in the future.

      At December 31, 1994, the Company provided a deferred tax asset valuation
allowance for deferred tax assets which management determined were "more likely
than not" unrealizable based on trends in operating results after eliminating
the effects of non-recurring revenue (Note 7). During 1995, the Company released
the valuation allowance related to HNC's deferred tax assets based on
management's assessment that it was more likely than not that the Company would
realize a portion of those assets in future periods due to improvements in HNC's
operating results. During 1996, the Company released the valuation allowances
related to RDC and Retek deferred tax assets based on management's assessment
that it was more likely than not that the Company would realize those assets in
future periods due to improvements in the operating results of those
subsidiaries.

      During 1996 and 1995, the Company realized certain tax benefits related to
stock option plans in the amount of $7,889 and $800, respectively. The benefit
from the stock option tax deduction is credited directly to paid-in capital.

      In connection with the acquisition of Retek, the Company made an Internal
Revenue Code Section 338 election for federal and state tax purposes, resulting
in the treatment of the acquisition as a taxable transaction, whereby the tax
bases of the acquired assets and liabilities were adjusted to their fair values
as of the date of the acquisition. As the purchase price exceeded the carrying
value of the net assets acquired by approximately $46,000, the Company recorded
a deferred tax asset in the amount of $18,397.

      Prior to the acquisition of CR by HNC on November 28, 1997, CR elected
subchapter S corporation status for income tax purposes; therefore, its income
was included in the tax returns of its stockholders, and no income tax provision
has been recorded for CR other than certain minimum state taxes on subchapter S
corporations.

      At December 31, 1996, the Company had federal, state and foreign net
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $22,300, $10,800 and $800,
respectively. The net operating loss carryforwards expire as follows:

      The Company also has approximately $1,400 of federal research and
development credit carryforwards, which expire from 2000 to 2011, $400 of state
research and development credit carryforwards, which have no expiration date,
and $100 of foreign tax credit carryforwards, which expire from 1999 to 2000.
Certain of these net operating loss and research and development credit
carryforwards generated by RDC and Retek prior to their acquisitions by HNC are
subject to annual limitations on their utilization and also are limited to
utilization solely by the Company which generated them. Should a substantial
change in HNC's ownership occur, as defined by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, there
will be an annual limitation on the utilization of net operating loss and
research and development credit carryforwards.

NOTE 10 -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

      During 1987, the Company adopted the 1987 Stock Option Plan whereby 2,500
shares of the Company's common stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to
nonqualified and incentive stock options to its officers, directors, key
employees and consultants. The plan, as amended, is administered by the Board of
Directors or its designees and provides generally that, for incentive stock
options and nonqualified stock options, the exercise price must not be less than
the fair market value of the shares as determined by the Board of Directors at
the date of grant. The options expire no later than ten years from the date of
grant and may be exercised in installments based upon stipulated timetables (not
in excess of seven years). At December 31, 1996, options to purchase 545 shares
were exercisable.

      During 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Directors Stock Option Plan (the
"Directors Plan"), the 1995 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan") and the
1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan"). For purposes of the
discussion contained in the three paragraphs below, "fair market value" means
the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market on
the grant date.

      The Directors Plan provides for the issuance of up to 300 nonqualified
stock options to the Company's outside directors. Under the provisions of the
Directors Plan, options to purchase 25 shares of the Company's common stock are
granted to outside directors upon their respective dates of becoming members of
the Board of Directors and 10 additional options will be granted on each
anniversary of such dates. Options under the Directors Plan are granted at the
fair market value of the stock at the grant date and vest at specific times over
a four-year period. At December 31, 1996, options to purchase 40 shares were
exercisable.

      The Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of up to 2,800 shares of the
Company's common stock in the form of nonqualified or incentive stock options,
restricted stock or stock bonuses. In addition, any shares remaining unissued
under the 1987 Stock Option Plan on the effective date of the Incentive Plan,
and any shares issuable upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the 1987
Stock Option Plan that expire or become unexercisable for any reason without
having been exercised in full, will no longer be available for issuance under
the 1987 Stock Option Plan but will be available for issuance under the
Incentive Plan. Nonqualified stock options and restricted stock may be awarded
at a price not less than 85% of the fair market value of the stock at the date
of the award. Incentive stock options must be awarded at a price not less than
100% of the fair market value of the stock at the date of the award, or 110% of
fair market value for awards to more than 10% stockholders. Options granted
under the Incentive Plan may have a term of up to 10 years. The Company has the
discretion to provide for restrictions and the lapse thereof in respect of
restricted stock awards, and options typically vest at the rate of 25% of the
total grant per year over a four-year period. However, the Company may, at its
discretion, implement a different vesting schedule with respect to any new stock
option grant. At December 31, 1996, 58 shares were exercisable under the
Incentive Plan.

      The Purchase Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 400 shares of
common stock. Each purchase period, eligible employees may designate between 2%
and 10% of their cash compensation, subject to certain limitations, to be
deducted from their pay for the purchase of common stock under the Purchase
Plan. The purchase price of the shares under the Purchase Plan is equal to 85%
of the lesser of the fair market value per share, as defined by the Purchase
Plan, on the first day of the twelve-month offering period or the last day of
each six-month purchase period. Approximately 65% of eligible employees have
participated in the Plan in the last two years. Under the Purchase Plan, the
Company sold 94 shares to employees in 1996.

   RDC's stock option plan is administered by HNC's Board of Directors. All
outstanding RDC options were converted into options to purchase HNC common stock
and adjusted to give effect to the exchange ratio (Note 2). No changes were made
to the terms of the RDC options in connection with the exchange. Options granted
under the RDC stock option plan generally vest at the rate of 25% of the total
grant per year over a four-year period and expire 10 years after the date of
grant. At December 31, 1996, 63 shares were exercisable under the RDC plan.
Retek's stock options are administered by HNC's Board of Directors. All
outstanding Retek options were converted into options to purchase the Company's
common stock and adjusted to give effect to the exchange ratio (Note 2). No
changes were made to the terms of the Retek options in connection with the
exchange. Options granted vest ratably over periods from one to four years and
have a term of up to 10 years. At December 31, 1996, options to purchase 28
shares were exercisable.

   The CR 1995 Stock Option Plan is administered by HNC's Board of Directors.
All outstanding CR stock options were converted into options to purchase HNC
common stock and adjusted to give effect to the exchange ratio (Note 2). No
changes were made to the terms of the CR options in connection with the
exchange. Options granted under the CR Stock Option Plan generally vest ratably
over periods from two to four years and expire 10 years after the date of grant.
At December 31, 1996, options to purchase 400 shares were exercisable.

   Transactions under the Company's stock option and purchase plans during the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, including options under the RDC stock

   During 1996, Aptex adopted the 1996 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Aptex Plan")
whereby 2,000 shares of Aptex common stock were reserved for issuance pursuant
to nonqualified and incentive stock options and restricted stock awards. The
plan is administered by the Board of Directors of Aptex or its designees and
provides generally that nonqualified stock options and restricted stock may be
awarded at a price not less than 85% of the fair market value of the stock at
the date of the award. Incentive stock options must be awarded at a price not
less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock at the date of the award,
or 110% of fair market value for awards to more than 10% stockholders. Options
granted under the Incentive Plan may have a term of up to 10 years. The Company
has the discretion to provide for restrictions and the lapse thereof in respect
of restricted stock awards, and options typically vest at the rate of 25% of the
total grant per year over a four-year period. However, the Company may, at its
discretion, implement a different vesting schedule with respect to any new stock
option grant. During 1996, Aptex issued 1,000 shares of common stock under the
Aptex Plan at an issuance price of $0.03 per share. No options granted under the
Aptex Plan were exercisable at December 31, 1996.

   The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related
Interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation. No compensation
expense has been recognized for its employee stock option grants, which are
fixed in nature, as the options have been granted at fair market value. No
compensation expense has been recognized for the Purchase Plan. Had compensation
cost for the Company's stock-based compensation awards issued during 1996 and
1995 been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates of awards
consistent with the method of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No.

             NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

   The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions used for grants during the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively: dividend yield of 0.0% for both years, risk-free interest rates of
6.03% and 6.29%, expected volatility of 70% and 75% (0% for both years for
options granted by RDC, Retek and CR prior to their acquisition by HNC), and
expected lives of 3.5 years for both years. The fair value of the employees'
purchase rights pursuant to the Purchase Plan is estimated using the
Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0.0% for
both years, risk-free interest rates of 5.36% and 5.66%, expected volatility of
70% and 75%; and an expected life of 6 months for both years. The weighted
average fair value of those purchase rights granted in 1996 and 1995 was $9.61
and $2.75, respectively.

   The fair value of each option granted under the Aptex Plan is estimated on
the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following weighted average assumptions used for grants during the year ended
December 31, 1996: dividend yield of 0.0%, risk-free interest rate of 6.42%,
expected volatility of 90%, and an expected life of 9.25 years. Options to
purchase 704 shares were granted during 1996 at a weighted average exercise
price of $0.03 per share. The weighted average fair value of options granted
during the year was $0.03 per share. At December 31, 1996, there were 704
options outstanding under the Aptex Plan with a weighted average exercise price
of $0.03 per share and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 9.74
years.


NOTE 11 -- CONTINGENCIES

   Various claims arising in the course of business, seeking monetary damages
and other relief, are pending. The amount of the liability, if any, from such
claims, cannot be determined with certainty; however, in the opinion of
management, the ultimate liability for such claims will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
