BUSINESS GENERAL Founded in 1981, Hyperion Software Corporation (the "company") develops, markets and supports complete financial management and accounting solutions for large, multinational corporations. The company's client/server products facilitate the accounting, budgeting, multisource consolidation and business analysis processes, giving users fast, dynamic access to and querying capabilities of interrelated financial information. A common set of delivery technologies enable superior reporting, spreadsheet analysis, data entry and intranet information access. INDUSTRY BACKGROUND Large corporations generate significant amounts of accounting, manufacturing, human resources, sales and marketing data. To be useful to senior executives, managers and analysts, such transactional data must be retrieved from a variety of financial and operational systems, then summarized and organized into meaningful business information that is consistent and easily accessible. The process of integrating the data is complicated because most large corporations use multiple accounting systems and transactional databases, conduct business in numerous locations and have diverse information requirements across functions and throughout the management hierarchy. Historically, corporations have attempted to collect, summarize, organize and present information from fragmented computer systems and transactional data sources in a number of ways. In many instances, business information reports are assembled manually with the aid of spreadsheets and by using data from general ledgers and other operational systems. Additionally, many corporations have sought to automate business information systems through the use of mainframe, minicomputer or PC software developed by their internal management information systems ("MIS") departments. Hyperion Software believes that these systems are becoming increasingly obsolete because they are usually rigid in structure, complex to create, expensive to maintain, and difficult to update when information requirements change. In addition, growing corporate competition has increased the demand for more comprehensive and timely business information that is accessible throughout the corporation. Continuing advances in computer and networking technology increasingly enable business information processing at large corporations to be moved to client/server architectures running on local area networks ("LANs") of personal computers. Client/server computing takes advantage of the power of personal computers by appropriately segregating user interface and application processing tasks between separate client and server machines. This trend in down-sizing corporate computing has gained momentum as a result of improvements in PC processing speeds and memory capacity and the widespread acceptance of LANs and wide area networks (WANs). Local area and wide area networks have significantly increased the ability to share information among users throughout an organization. While MIS departments were initially slow to adopt network technology, they now view networked PCs as a strategic element of information management. LAN-based solutions are now accepted as an important means of decreasing computing costs while improving the flow, accessibility and usefulness of corporate information. Additionally, the flexibility and power of new client/server architectures have led to MIS adoption of new technologies at a faster pace. -2- 3 The need for better business information, combined with the acceptance of PCs and network computing, including new client/server architectures, has created a significant market opportunity for a new class of information software designed to operate on this platform. Most financial analysts, accountants and many executives rely on personal computer spreadsheets for analysis and forecasting. While spreadsheets and other PC software tools have been used to perform some corporate business information tasks, they have limited capability for information sharing and lack the necessary controls to ensure corporate consistency. Existing custom or packaged software for mainframes or minicomputers is impractical to modify for network computing because it is based on operating systems and architectures which are incompatible with PCs and client/server technology and lack the ease of use of PC software. Since 1981, the company's experience in developing and marketing corporate financial software applications for PCs and networks has positioned it well for this market. STRATEGY The company's objective is to be the leading provider of client/server financial management and accounting solutions to large, multidivision or multilocation companies worldwide. Hyperion Software focuses on designing network-based applications that are easy to implement and operate and which facilitate the redesign of financial and accounting processes. The applications are designed to be flexible, easy to maintain, cost-efficient, fast and functionally complete, using an architecture based on connectivity and openness to other best-of-class applications. The company will continue to extend and enhance its complete suite of integrated client/server products. The company believes that its multisource consolidation, budgeting and reporting solutions are well established in the financial and corporate offices of multinational enterprises. Accordingly, as the accounting product line is expanded and enhanced, Hyperion Software believes it is well positioned to participate in this emerging client/server, accounting applications market. Integrated across these financial and accounting processes, Hyperion provides complete reporting and business analysis capabilities, designed to support the way people access, deliver and analyze results. The company believes that client/server and networked personal computing has become a standard direction for the largest and best known companies in the world. These technologies, when coupled with software that reflects applications expertise, produce clear and immediate benefits to an organization. The company's strategy to achieve its objective includes the following elements: Increase Penetration of Multisource Consolidation and Budgeting Markets. The company believes that a minority of potential customers has purchased network-based, Windows multisource consolidation (the management of financial information across multiple accounting and planning systems, operational data sources and geographies) and budgeting software. The company intends to further its penetration in this market and continue its leadership position by enhancing its current products and dedicating significant resources to sales, marketing, support and product development. Leverage Existing Market Leadership Position. The company believes that the complementary set of budgeting, accounting, multisource consolidation and business analysis applications provides the complete, consistent results executives need to run their businesses. The quick, secure access of this interrelated information, in a common set of user tools, supports ad hoc analysis and reporting requirements. The company believes that its established strength in providing solutions places it in a strong position to market its complete application suite to both new and existing customers, including the latest offerings, Hyperion OLAP for business analysis; Hyperion's Spider-Man, a web-based business information access solution for an organization's global user community; and the accounting product line. -3- 4 Focus on Leading Network and Software Technologies. Hyperion Software is committed to the development of network-based software for business information applications. The company's solutions are designed to run in the Microsoft Windows environment, and all are compatible with widely-used LANs. The company intends to enhance its existing products and develop new products linked to client/server software standards, including Windows 95, Windows NT, Sybase SQL Server and Oracle databases, as well as the emerging intranet technologies. Design Applications for Specific Corporate Information Needs. The company's product line is designed specifically for the collection, accounting, reporting and interactive analysis of business data. Hyperion's applications fit business processes, with financial intelligence and preprogrammed functionality. This orientation to specific tasks serves to reduce implementation time and results in superior processing speed for fast data compilation and data access. The company is also committed to a combination of integrated, industry standard SQL and application specific databases. Design for Ease of Implementation and Ease of Use. The company's products are designed for an end-user role in maintenance, with minimal training. Application expertise is built into products and is also provided by the company through consulting services. Following implementation, customers are able to operate self-sufficiently with trained administrators at headquarters locations and independent end-users at headquarters and at remote sites. Maintain Direct Sales and Support Relationships. Unlike many other PC software companies, the company licenses its products throughout the world primarily through a direct sales force. In certain territories outside of North America, products are licensed through independent distributors, including major accounting firms. Hyperion Software often provides installation and post-sale consulting support to build long-term customer relationships. Generate Follow-on Revenues. The company generates revenues from existing customers through licensing for additional users, the introduction of new products and license renewal fees. In addition, sales of training and consulting services to existing customers represents a significant portion of the company's total service revenues. Follow-on revenues leverage sales and marketing resources and strengthen the company's relationships with its customers.

A headquarters site license for OnTrack is priced at $85,000, with administrative and reporting site licenses priced at $10,000 and $5,000, respectively, or less, depending on the number of sites. SERVICES The company provides design consulting and implementation support for its products and their operation on local or wide area networks and offers a range of administrator and end-user courses at its training facilities or at the customer's site. Implementation, consulting and training services are not included in software license fees, but are provided on a time and materials basis. This allows the customer to determine the level of support appropriate to its needs and permits the company to provide high quality services on a profitable basis. Under the terms of the company's standard license agreement, customers, at their option, pay a license renewal and maintenance fee annually. The annual fee charged to a customer is generally a fixed percentage of the then-current list prices for the licensed software used by the customer. This fee entitles customers to support, including a user hotline and electronic bulletin board, and to any updates and enhancements provided for their software. The company's product support function provides a hotline, collects and evaluates requests for enhancement of products and, together with the product management and planning group, coordinates the design, development and release of new products and product enhancements. An active user group, including a steering committee, works closely with the company in helping to define product enhancement priorities and directions. A user conference is held annually. This year's conference, in Dallas, was attended by over 2,000 people from more than 700 companies. Regional user meetings and product-specific focus groups are also scheduled periodically, including an annual European user conference. -7- 8 CUSTOMERS AND APPLICATIONS The company markets its products worldwide to multidivisional and/or multilocational organizations which have extensive operations and significant information management requirements. Examples of the use of Hyperion Software products by the company's clients include the following: - A leading international home appliance manufacturer and marketer has implemented Hyperion Enterprise as part of its global financial information process reengineering initiative. Operating in more than 120 countries, sites from around the world were previously faxing data to corporate headquarters, where the data was manually entered into spreadsheets. The entire process was "extremely tedious and prone to error," according to the customer. Now, Hyperion Enterprise is addressing the customer's expanding global information requirements, providing easy access to data, direct links to spreadsheets and easy system maintenance, all within a Microsoft Windows-based computing environment. - A healthcare company eliminated tedious re-keying of data and dramatically reduced manual input by using Hyperion Enterprise for its worldwide financial information requirements. An expanding presence in Europe and the addition of a new line of over-the-counter products required that the customer keep track of an extensive amount of product data on a global basis. Essential business data of the customer includes knowing where and when sales are made, products are introduced, and whether budgets are being achieved. Hyperion Enterprise's flexible reporting, dynamic links to spreadsheet products, speed, and access to both detail and top-level data for more than 500 products is the cornerstone for this data. - A leading, worldwide, personal computer manufacturer using Hyperion Pillar has reduced its budget roll-up process from three days to three hours. According to the computer company's finance group, it now spends 80 percent of its time on analysis and 20 percent on mechanics. Prior to installing Hyperion Pillar, the customer used a spreadsheet-based system and applied as much as 80 percent of its time verifying numbers. - One of the world's largest producers of denim and decorative fabrics was experiencing the typical drawbacks of a mainframe general ledger system that no longer fit the needs of a growing organization. Slow response time, reporting inflexibility, tedious manual keying of data, cumbersome maintenance, poor vendor support, and a difficult to use interface were all factors that led this international company to choose Hyperion's accounting products. Now, with Hyperion's client/server accounting system, the customer has been able to shorten its quarterly closing cycle and get better and more timely access to financial information. According to the customer's accounting team, its users can now select the accounting period and cost center and run their own summary level reports. They can view data by plant or division and see up to five years of history in just minutes. -8- 9 The company has licensed its software to nearly 3,000 corporate headquarters customers. In the past three fiscal years, no one customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues. The company's customers include the following: Abbey National Hong Kong Shanghai Bank Aetna Life & Casualty HSBC Holdings Ahold ICI AIG Life International Paper Aluminum Company of America ITT Hartford Allied Domecq Johnson & Johnson Allied Signal Commercial Avionics Systems Kimberly-Clark American Express Kmart American Home Products KNP-BT Ameritech LVMH Amoco McDonnell Douglas Asia Pacific Breweries MCI Telecomm.

Grand Metropolitan The Travelers Hanson Industries United Parcel Service Heineken Zeneca -9- 10 SALES AND MARKETING The company has a direct sales force comprised of 185 sales personnel as of June 30, 1996. The company supports its sales force with lead generation and marketing programs which include telemarketing, public relations, direct mail, advertising, seminars, trade shows and ongoing customer communication programs and third-party alliances. The company has sales offices at its headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut and in: Amsterdam, Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Boston, Brussels, Calgary, Chicago, Copenhagen, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Frankfurt, Houston, Linz, London, Los Angeles, Madrid, Manchester, Milan, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Montreal, Munich, Newark, Ottawa, Paris, Philadelphia, Rome, Sacramento, San Francisco, Sao Paulo, Seattle, Singapore, St. Louis, Stockholm, Syracuse, Tokyo, Toronto and Washington, DC. Product support and training are available as well through many of these locations. The company markets its products outside of North America through a combination of subsidiaries and independent distributors. These distributors are managed through the company's operations facilities in Milan and Singapore, which are staffed by 33 company personnel. The company has license and distribution agreements with independent distributors in: Australia, Finland, Israel, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa and Switzerland. The company's distributors include affiliates of Arthur Andersen & Co. in Japan and Switzerland, and of KPMG Peat Marwick in Australia and New Zealand. The distributors generally maintain sales and service personnel dedicated solely to the company's products. The distribution agreements between the company and its distributors generally provide for the exclusive right to offer the company's products within a territory, in return for royalties typically equal to 50% of license and license renewal fees. In each of its 1996, 1995 and 1994 fiscal years, approximately 33.2%, 28.1% and 26.7%, respectively, of the company's total revenues were derived from sources outside of the United States. Because the company generally ships its products shortly after license agreements are signed, the company's software licensing backlog typically is small. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT To date, all of the company's principal products have been developed by its internal staff except for Hyperion Pillar, which was acquired in connection with the company's acquisition of Pillar Corporation (November 1994), and portions of Hyperion OLAP and Hyperion OnTrack. When developing a new product or enhancement, the company works closely with current and prospective customers to determine their requirements. A user product enhancement committee, comprised of representatives of certain of the company's customers, meets quarterly and advises the company of its priorities for product development and enhancement, as well as product support service. The company's current product development efforts are primarily focused on the accounting products, and on maintaining the competitiveness of its current product line, including development of the next releases of Hyperion Enterprise, Hyperion Pillar, Hyperion OLAP and Hyperion's Spider-Man. As of June 30, 1996, the company's product development was performed by 249 employees primarily located at its Stamford, Connecticut headquarters. During fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, the company's product development expense, which is net of capitalized development costs, was $26.8 million, $21 million and $12.8 million, or 15.5% (16.7% including purchased research and development), 15.3% and 13.5% of total revenues, respectively. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, the company capitalizes certain development costs. During fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, the company capitalized $5.8 million, $5.2 million and $4 million, respectively, or 17.8%, 19.9% and 23.9% of total product development expenditures (excluding purchased research and development). -10- 11 COMPETITION The company operates in an intensely competitive market which demands product quality, functionality, performance, reliability, ease of use, customer satisfaction, service, price, vendor reputation and financial stability. The company believes that its products currently compete favorably with respect to such factors, although it may be at a competitive disadvantage against companies with greater financial, technological, marketing, service and support resources. The company experiences competition from a variety of business application software vendors and software tool vendors, as well as from software developed by IS departments of potential customers. Many of the company's existing and potential customers utilize legacy software developed internally for mainframes or minicomputers. The market for client/server corporate financial software is still an emerging one. As markets develop for the company's products, additional competitors may enter or expand into those markets and competition may intensify. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND LICENSES The company depends upon a combination of trade secret, copyright and trademark laws, license agreements, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions and technical measures to protect its proprietary rights in its products. In addition, the company attempts to protect its trade secrets and other proprietary information through agreements with employees and consultants. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy aspects of the company's products or to obtain information that the company regards as proprietary. The company also seeks to protect the source code of its products as a trade secret. The company distributes its products under software license agreements which grant customers a nonexclusive, nontransferable license to the company's products and contain terms and conditions prohibiting the unauthorized reproductions or transfer of the company's products. The company does not provide licensees with the source code for its products. Customers are billed an initial license fee for the software upon delivery and, subsequently, are billed an annual renewal and maintenance fee entitling them to routine support and product updates. This fee is typically calculated at a fixed percentage of the then-current price of all licensed software used by the customer. The annual maintenance fee is optional; however, without payment, the licensee is entitled only to use the software in its then current form, without receiving future updates or product support.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low sales prices of the common stock as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fiscal 1995: High Low ---------------------------------------------------------------------- First quarter $18 3/4 $10 5/8 Second quarter 20 1/8 16 Third quarter 24 7/8 17 3/8 Fourth quarter 24 1/2 15 5/8 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FISCAL 1996: HIGH LOW ---------------------------------------------------------------------- First quarter $28 3/8 $22 Second quarter 28 1/4 18 1/4 Third quarter 23 14 Fourth quarter 22 9 3/4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FISCAL 1997: HIGH LOW ---------------------------------------------------------------------- First quarter (through September 18th) $14 5/8 $10 1/2 The stock prices have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend paid in December 1995. As of September 18, 1996, the company had 215 stockholders of record and approximately 7,300 beneficial holders of its common stock. The company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its capital stock. The company currently intends to retain all earnings to finance future growth and, therefore, does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The company's credit agreement with its lender contains covenants that restrict the company regarding the payment of dividends. -14- 15 ITEM 6.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hyperion Software Corporation derives revenues from licensing its software products and providing related product installation, support and training services. Customers are billed an initial fee for the software upon delivery. A license renewal fee entitling customers to routine support and product updates is billed annually. Hyperion Software licenses its products throughout the world primarily through a direct sales force. In certain territories outside of North America, products are licensed through independent distributors, including major accounting firms. The company includes in revenues its net share of revenues generated by distributors. FISCAL 1996 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1995 REVENUES 1996 CHANGE 1995 - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands) Software licenses $90,304 15.8% $77,985 Percentage of total revenues 52.3% 56.9% - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- License renewals and services $82,520 39.5% $59,156 Percentage of total revenues 47.7% 43.1% - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Software license revenues rose primarily as a result of an increase in the number of licenses sold (unit volume) versus, for example, price increases. While the growth was led by demand for the company's enterprise financial reporting and budgeting products, management believes that a slower than planned orientation of its sales force to a multiproduct, complete financial solution approach, together with delays in the commercial release of certain products, were the reasons for the decline in sales growth as compared to prior years. The increase in license renewal and service revenue is mainly attributable to the year-to-year growth of the company's installed customer base. Revenues generated from markets outside the United States for fiscal 1996 and 1995 were $57.4 million and $38.5 million, or 33.2% and 28.1% of total revenues, respectively. Revenue growth was particularly strong in Canada, certain territories of Asia, and in Europe, most notably in the Netherlands. COST OF REVENUES 1996 CHANGE 1995 - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands) Software licenses $ 4,780 7.3% $ 4,454 Gross profit percentage 94.7% 94.3% - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- License renewals and services $53,258 46.1% $36,443 Gross profit percentage 35.5% 38.4% - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost of software license revenues consists primarily of the cost of product packaging and documentation materials, amortization of capitalized software costs, amortization of certain intangible assets related to business acquisitions, and royalty expenses. The increase in the cost of software license revenues principally reflects the associated increase in the amortization of capitalized costs related to new products and product enhancements. The amortization of capitalized software costs begins upon the general release of the software to customers. The increase in the cost of license renewal and service revenues was due primarily to additional staffing expense for both installation and ongoing support services. The professional services staff includes new members dedicated to the company's recently released (March 1995) set of accounting products. -16- 17 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) OPERATING EXPENSES 1996 CHANGE 1995 - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands) Sales and marketing $55,484 25.2% $44,324 Percentage of total revenues 32.1% 32.3% - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Product development $26,839 27.9% $20,980 Percentage of total revenues 15.5% 15.3% - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- General and administrative $16,443 45.5% $11,302 Percentage of total revenues 9.5% 8.2% - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The increase in sales and marketing expenses is primarily due to a net increase in sales-marketing personnel. The increase in product development expenses reflects additional personnel and third-party development costs associated with expanded research and development activities. In fiscal 1996 and 1995, the company capitalized $5.8 million and $5.2 million of software development costs, respectively, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed." The amounts capitalized primarily relate to the company's development of enterprise-wide financial management and accounting solutions for client/server environments and represented 17.8% and 19.9% of total product development expenditures (excluding purchased research and development). Capitalized software costs are amortized over the estimated economic life of the product, but generally not more than four years. In the second quarter of fiscal 1996, the company concluded two strategic acquisitions involving application technologies and an important European client base. Specifically, in December 1995, the company acquired certain assets and application technologies, and assumed certain obligations of Trust Consult s.a., a Brussels-based financial solutions provider. Along with over 130 customers, Hyperion gained significant European statutory consolidation and reporting expertise and technology. In November 1995, the company acquired certain rights from Sinper Corporation to its powerful database engine, TM/1, technology. The new technology was used in the development of Hyperion OLAP (On-Line Analytical Processing), a solution for customers' most complex and high volume multidimensional analysis needs, such as product profitability and sales analysis. Hyperion OLAP became commercially available in April 1996. The acquisitions, which amounted to $3.6 million, were accounted for as purchase transactions and, accordingly, $2 million was allocated to purchased research and development and $1.6 million was allocated to identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values. The purchased research and development is reflected as a one-time charge in the company's operating results. The increase in general and administrative expenses resulted from increases in personnel and professional services costs incurred to support the growth of the company's overall operations and, to a lesser extent, the effect of currency exchange rate changes and an increase in the provision for doubtful accounts. In November 1994, the company completed a merger with Pillar Corporation, which develops, markets and supports client/server corporate budgeting and planning solutions. In connection with the acquisition, which was accounted for as a pooling of interests, the company charged $1 million to operations in fiscal 1995 for nonrecurring merger and integration costs incurred. -17- 18 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) NONOPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSE 1996 CHANGE 1995 - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands) Interest income $1,480 8.6% $1,620 - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest expense $ (243) 104.2% $ (119) - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The slight decline in interest income, for the most part, was due to the decrease in cash available for investment which resulted from a higher level of funds reinvested in the business. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The company's effective income tax rate decreased from 39.7% to 38%. The change in the effective rate primarily relates to the nondeductible merger costs incurred in fiscal 1995. NET INCOME As a result of the above factors (including the nonrecurring charges), net income for 1996 decreased to $9.5 million, or by 22.1%, from $12.1 million for 1995. To date, the overall impact of inflation on the company has not been material. In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." The company will adopt SFAS No. 121 in fiscal 1997, and the impact, if any, is not expected to be material. The company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The company generally prices its stock options at fair market value on the date of grant and, therefore, no compensation expense is recognized for the stock options granted. In fiscal 1997, the company intends to adopt the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." FISCAL 1995 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1994 REVENUES 1995 CHANGE 1994 - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands) Software licenses $77,985 50.9% $51,687 Percentage of total revenues 56.9% 54.8% - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- License renewals and services $59,156 38.9% $42,575 Percentage of total revenues 43.1% 45.2% - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Software license revenues rose primarily as a result of an increase in the number of licenses sold versus, for example, price increases. Demand for the company's Microsoft Windows-based enterprise financial reporting and budgeting products continues to be strong. Windows-based product licenses comprise more than 90% of the company's total software license revenues. The increase in license renewal and service revenue is mainly attributable to the year-to-year growth of the company's installed customer base. Revenues generated from markets outside the United States for fiscal 1995 and 1994 were $38.5 million and $25.1 million, or 28.1% and 26.7% of total revenues, respectively. -18- 19 ITEM 7.

The increase in the cost of software license revenues principally reflects the associated increase in the number of software licenses sold and the amortization of capitalized costs ($1 million) related to new products and product enhancements. The amortization of capitalized software costs commences upon the general release of the software to customers. The increase in the cost of license renewal and service revenues was due primarily to additional staffing expense for both installation and ongoing support services. The professional services staff includes new members dedicated to the company's newly released (March 1995) set of accounting products. OPERATING EXPENSES 1995 CHANGE 1994 - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (dollars in thousands) Sales and marketing $44,324 47.6% $30,036 Percentage of total revenues 32.3% 31.9% - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Product development $20,980 64.3% $12,767 Percentage of total revenues 15.3% 13.5% - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ General and administrative $11,302 16.5% $ 9,703 Percentage of total revenues 8.2% 10.3% - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The increase in sales and marketing expenses is primarily due to a net increase in sales-marketing personnel, an increase in commission costs directly associated with the significant increase in software license revenues and, to a lesser extent, greater overall marketing initiatives. The increase in product development expenses reflects additional personnel and third-party development costs associated with expanded research and development activities. In fiscal 1995 and 1994, the company capitalized $5.2 million and $4 million of software development costs, respectively, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed." The amounts capitalized primarily relate to the company's development of Microsoft Windows-based financial management and accounting applications for client/server environments and represented 19.9% and 23.9% of total product development expenditures. Capitalized software costs are amortized over the estimated economic life of the product, but generally not more than four years. The increase in general and administrative expenses resulted from increases in personnel and professional services costs incurred to support the growth of the company's overall operations, partially offset by a decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts from the requirement of the prior year. -19- 20 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) On November 29, 1994, the company issued 1,141,592 shares of its common stock (including 146,970 shares underlying options and warrants assumed by Hyperion Software) in connection with the merger with Pillar Corporation. Pillar, based in California, develops, markets and supports client/server corporate budgeting and planning solutions. Pillar generated revenues of approximately $10 million for its year ended September 30, 1994. The acquisition has been accounted for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly, the financial statements have been restated for all prior periods to include Pillar. Further, all common share and per share data have been restated for prior periods. In connection with the acquisition, the company charged $1 million to operations in fiscal 1995 for nonrecurring merger and integration costs incurred. For further details, see Note B to the accompanying financial statements. NONOPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSE 1995 CHANGE 1994 - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands) Interest income $1,620 90.4% $ 851 - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest expense $ (119) 1.7% $(117) - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest income increased due to a general rise in interest rates and the increase in cash available for investment which resulted from operations. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The company's effective income tax rate decreased from 41.6% to 39.7%, as a greater portion of the company's earnings arose in certain jurisdictions where the income tax rates are lower, offset 1.9% by nondeductible merger costs. NET INCOME As a result of the above factors, net income for 1995 increased to $12.1 million, or by 41%, from $8.6 million for 1994. RISK FACTORS AND QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION The company operates with a minimal software licensing backlog. Therefore, quarterly revenues and operating results are quite dependent on the volume and timing of the signing of licensing agreements and product deliveries during the quarter, which are difficult to forecast. The company's future operating results may fluctuate due to these and other factors, such as customer buying patterns, the deferral and/or realization of deferred software license revenues according to contract terms, the timing of new product introductions and product upgrade releases, the company's hiring plans, the scheduling of sales and marketing programs, new product development by the company or its competitors and currency exchange rate movements. A significant portion of the company's quarterly software licensing agreements is concluded in the last month of the fiscal quarter, generally with a concentration of such revenues earned in the final ten business days of that month. The company generally has realized lower revenues in its first (September) and third (March) fiscal quarters than in the immediately following quarters. The company believes that these revenue fluctuations are caused by customer buying patterns, including traditionally slow purchase activity in the summer months and low purchase activity in the corporate financial applications market during the March quarter, as many potential customers are busy with their year-end closing and financial reporting. In any case, due to the relatively fixed nature of certain costs, including personnel and facilities expenses, a decline or shortfall in quarterly and/or annual revenues typically results in lower profitability or may result in losses. -20- 21 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Except for the historical information contained in this report on Form 10-K, the matters discussed herein are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The company's future results may vary significantly based on a number of factors, such as those discussed in the preceding paragraph, as well as other risks as detailed in the company's registration statement on Form S-3 declared effective January 18, 1995, particularly under "Investment Considerations." The following table sets forth certain unaudited operating results for each of the company's eight most recent fiscal quarters. This information has been prepared by the company on the same basis as its audited financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report and includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly this information when read in conjunction with the company's audited financial statements and notes thereto. The company's operating results for any one quarter or series of quarters are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To date, the company has financed its business principally through positive cash flow from operations and sales of its common stock. For fiscal years 1996, 1995, and 1994, the company generated positive cash flow from operations of $34.1 million, $28.9 million and $19.7 million, respectively. Cash used by investing activities amounted to $41.8 million for fiscal 1996, including $15.5 million for office facilities in progress, $16.7 million for leasehold improvements and purchases of equipment and software, $5.8 million for product development costs and $3.2 million for business acquisitions, as described above, and to reacquire company product distribution and service rights for certain territories of Europe. Financing activities in fiscal 1996, including stock options exercised by employees and payment of indebtedness, generated cash of $4.8 million. In connection with the stock options exercised by certain of its employees (for a total of 984,560 common shares), the company recognized (as a credit to additional paid-in capital) an income tax benefit of $3.4 million for the year ended June 30, 1996. As of June 30, 1996, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $42.4 million and working capital of $27.4 million, no long-term debt other than the mortgage loan (currently at an interest rate of 3.06%) for the Stamford, Connecticut office facility, and its ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.4 to 1. Cash equivalents are comprised primarily of investment grade U.S. state and political subdivision obligations with varying terms of three months or less. The company has long-term credit availability of $25 million under a revolving credit facility. For further details of the credit facility, see Note E of the company's financial statements. The company anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $35 million for its 1997 fiscal year. In July 1996, the company acquired a client base and the exclusive distribution and service rights to its corporate budgeting product in Belgium, France and the United Kingdom for $7.6 million. The company intends to continue to review potential acquisitions that it believes would enhance its growth and profitability. From time to time, in the normal course of business, various claims are made against the company. At this time, in the opinion of management, there are no pending claims the outcome of which is expected to result in a material adverse effect on the financial position of the company. The company believes that funds generated from operations, existing cash balances and its available credit facility will be sufficient to finance the company's operations for at least the next two years. -22- 23 ITEM 8. REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA -23- 24 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS Board of Directors and Stockholders Hyperion Software Corporation We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Hyperion Software Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1996. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule 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 referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Hyperion Software Corporation and subsidiaries at June 30, 1996 and 1995 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

"company") develops, markets and supports complete financial management and accounting solutions for large, multinational corporations. The company's client/server products facilitate the accounting, budgeting, multisource consolidation and business analysis processes, giving users fast, dynamic access to and querying capabilities of interrelated financial information. A common set of delivery technologies enable superior reporting, spreadsheet analysis, data entry and intranet information access. A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. The related revenues, costs and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are charged or credited to stockholders' equity. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition Software license revenues are recognized upon execution of the license agreement and delivery of the software. In all cases, however, collection of any related receivable must be probable and no significant post-contract obligations of the company shall be remaining. License renewal fees for routine support and product updates are recognized ratably over the term of the license agreement. Current Assets and Liabilities The company considers highly liquid investment instruments with remaining terms of three months or less at the time of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are comprised primarily of investment grade U.S. state and political subdivision obligations. All current assets and liabilities, because of their short-term nature, are stated at cost, which approximates market value. Long-Lived Assets In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." The company will adopt SFAS No. 121 in fiscal 1997, and the impact, if any, is not expected to be material. -29- 30 Hyperion Software Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Product Development Costs The company begins capitalizing product development costs, principally wages and contractor fees, only after establishing commercial and technical viability. Product development costs are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Annual amortization of these costs represents the greater of the amount computed using (i) the ratio that current gross revenues for the product(s) bear to the total current and anticipated future gross revenues for the product(s), or (ii) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product(s); generally such deferred costs are amortized over four years. Amortization commences when the product is available for general release to customers. Amortization expense totaled $3.2 million for 1996, $2.2 million for 1995 and $1.3 million for 1994. Depreciation/Amortization Depreciation and amortization are computed principally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the applicable assets. Income Taxes The company provides for taxes based on current taxable income and the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax carrying values of its assets and liabilities. Earnings Per Share Earnings per share ("EPS") are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period after giving effect to the two-for-one stock split and merger with Pillar Corporation (see Note B). For primary EPS, common equivalent shares are shares which would be issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, reduced by the number of shares assumed to be purchased by the company with the proceeds obtained therefrom at the average market price during the period. For the fully diluted EPS calculation, shares are assumed to be purchased by the company at the higher of the average or period-end market price and, therefore, this calculation may include additional equivalent shares. All share and per share data have been retroactively adjusted to reflect a two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend paid in December 1995. The stock dividend resulted in a retroactively applied transfer of approximately $.1 million (par value of $.01 per share) from additional paid-in capital to common stock. Equity Based Compensation The company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The company generally prices its stock options at fair market value on the date of grant and, therefore, no compensation expense is recognized for the stock options granted. In fiscal 1997, the company intends to adopt the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." B. ACQUISITIONS In July 1996, the company acquired a client base and the exclusive distribution and service rights to its corporate budgeting product in Belgium, France and the United Kingdom for $7.6 million. The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase transaction in fiscal 1997 and, accordingly, the purchase price will be allocated to identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values. -30- 31 Hyperion Software Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) B. ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED) During the quarter ended December 1995, the company concluded two strategic acquisitions, described below, involving application technologies and an important European client base. The acquisitions, which amounted to $3.6 million, were accounted for as purchase transactions and, accordingly, $2 million was allocated to purchased research and development and $1.6 million was allocated to identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values. The purchased research and development is reflected as a one-time charge in the company's operating results. The charge had the effect of reducing net income for fiscal 1996 by approximately $1.3 million or $.07 per share. In December 1995, the company acquired certain assets and application technologies, and assumed certain obligations of Trust Consult s.a., a Brussels-based financial solutions provider. Along with over 130 customers, Hyperion gained significant European statutory consolidation and reporting expertise and technology. The net operating results of the acquired business from the date of purchase are included in the accompanying statement of income. Pro forma statement of income data as if the acquisition had occurred on July 1, 1993 is not shown, as it would not differ significantly from reported results. In November 1995, the company acquired certain rights from Sinper Corporation to its powerful database engine, TM/1, technology. The new technology was used in the development of Hyperion OLAP (On-Line Analytical Processing), a solution for customers' most complex and high volume multidimensional analysis needs, such as product profitability and sales analysis. Hyperion OLAP became commercially available in April 1996. On November 29, 1994, the company issued 1,141,592 shares of its common stock (including 146,970 shares underlying options and warrants assumed by Hyperion Software) in connection with the merger with Pillar Corporation ("Pillar"). Pillar, based in California, develops, markets and supports client/server corporate budgeting and planning solutions. The acquisition has been accounted for as a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the financial statements have been restated for all prior periods to include Pillar. Further, all common share and per share data have been restated for prior periods. For the pre-merger periods indicated, revenues and net income of the company and Pillar are as follows, in thousands: Three months ended Year ended September 30, 1994 June 30, 1994 - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (unaudited) REVENUES Hyperion Software $22,470 $84,384 Pillar 3,858 9,878 - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $26,328 $94,262 ============================================================================== NET INCOME Hyperion Software $ 1,225 $ 8,470 Pillar 1,016 139 adjustment(a) (370) - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $ 1,871 $ 8,609 ============================================================================== <FN> (a) To adjust the provision for income taxes to reflect, on a combined company basis, the annual effective tax rate. -31- 32 Hyperion Software Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) B. ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED) Pillar previously used the fiscal year ended September 30 for its financial reporting. Pillar's operating results for the year ended September 30, 1994 are included in the accompanying statement of income in the column headed June 30, 1994. The statement of income's comparative 1996 and 1995 results reflect the operations of Hyperion Software and Pillar for the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. Accordingly, the duplication of Pillar's net income, for the three months ended September 30, 1994, in retained earnings has been adjusted by a $1 million charge to retained earnings in fiscal 1995. In connection with the acquisition, the company charged $1 million to operations for nonrecurring merger and integration costs (principally professional fees) incurred. C. PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND RELATED MORTGAGE LOAN Property and equipment consists of the following at June 30: Depreciation/ Amortization 1996 1995 Period -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands) (years) Land $ 3,800 $ 3,800 Office facilities in progress 26,000 10,508 39 Furniture, equipment and software 43,866 29,106 3 to 7 Leasehold improvements 2,003 2,249 lease term* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 75,669 45,663 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization 21,063 13,570 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- $54,606 $32,093 ============================================================================= <FN> * Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the remaining life of the lease or the useful life of the improvements. Depreciation and amortization of these assets totaled $9.4 million, $5.4 million and $3.2 million for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. On January 20, 1995, the company completed the purchase of an office facility in Stamford, Connecticut for $11.4 million. The purchase price was financed by the Connecticut Development Authority ("CDA," an agency of the State of Connecticut) through a $9.5 million mortgage loan, with company funds used for the balance. In the interest of Connecticut-based jobs, the CDA agreed to such financing over a 15-year period at LIBOR minus 2%, subject to, among other things: (i) the creation of a specified number of new Connecticut-based jobs, (ii) a 10-year residency in the state, and (iii) the payment of the remaining unpaid principal at the end of year ten. Violations of certain such requirements, if any, would result in additional interest charges and/or a penalty payment. -32- 33 Hyperion Software Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) D. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS Components of intangible assets, which relate primarily to business acquisitions, are as follows at June 30: Amortization 1996 1995 Period ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands) (years) Goodwill $ 3,648 $2,687 4 to 20 Software/technology 2,489 2,089 2 to 6 Customer base 2,219 1,019 3 to 5 Product distribution and service rights 1,570 809 3 to 7 Noncompete agreements 529 476 3 Copyrights, trademarks and other 1,416 264 4 to 6 ---------------------------------------------------------------- 11,871 7,344 Less accumulated amortization 5,784 4,337 ---------------------------------------------------------------- $ 6,087 $3,007 ================================================================ The carrying value of intangible assets will be reviewed by management if the facts and circumstances suggest that the value(s) may be impaired. If this review indicates that the carrying amount(s) will not be recoverable, as determined based on the undiscounted cash flows attributable to such asset(s) over the remaining amortization period, management will reduce the carrying amount by the estimated shortfall of cash flows. E. AVAILABLE CREDIT FACILITY The company may borrow up to $25 million under an amended and restated credit facility (the "Facility") with The Bank of New York. Key provisions of the Facility are as follows: (i) the maturity date is June 30, 2000, (ii) the interest rate is the bank's base rate plus .25% or, at the company's option, LIBOR plus 1.5%, (iii) a commitment fee is charged based on any unused credit, at the rate of .25% per annum, and (iv) borrowings under the Facility are limited to the sum of (a) 85% of eligible accounts receivable, as defined, from debtors located in the United States, plus (b) 75% of eligible accounts receivable, as defined, from debtors located outside of the United States. Other significant terms of the Facility restrict the company regarding the payment of dividends, capital expenditures and acquisitions, and additional indebtedness, including other fiscal commitments, and require the company to maintain minimum net worth and working capital ratios and to meet certain profitability criteria, as defined. Except for its office facilities (see Note C), substantially all of the company's assets have been pledged as security under terms of the Facility. -33- 34 Hyperion Software Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) F. INCOME TAXES Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities at June 30 are as follows: 1996 1995 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands) Deferred income tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards $ 4,054 $ 5,143 Deferred revenue 1,510 1,777 Accounts receivable, allowances 1,893 795 Other intangible assets, amortization 1,418 347 Tax credit carryforwards 876 675 Accrued expenses 310 103 Other 167 237 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10,228 9,077 Less valuation allowance 4,944 5,985 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5,284 3,092 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred income tax liabilities: Product development costs 4,914 3,855 Property and equipment, depreciation 270 325 Other 18 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5,184 4,198 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net deferred income tax asset (liability) $ 100 $(1,106) ================================================================================ The provision for income taxes consists of the following charges (credits): 1996 1995 1994 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands) Current: U.S. $ 4,214 $5,211 $2,271 State 1,419 1,709 957 Other countries 1,373 870 600 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7,006 7,790 3,828 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred: U.S. (800) 252 1,766 State (379) 588 Other countries (27) (42) (42) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1,206) 210 2,312 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ 5,800 $8,000 $6,140 ================================================================================ The effective income tax rate varied from the statutory U.S. federal tax rate as follows: 1996 1995 1994 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Statutory U.S. tax rate 35.0% 35.0% 35.0% State income taxes, net of U.S. tax benefit 4.5 5.6 6.9 Tax exempt interest (1.9) (1.9) (1.3) Export sales (2.8) (2.4) (.9) Other--net 3.2 3.4 1.9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Effective income tax rate 38.0% 39.7% 41.6% ================================================================================ -34- 35 Hyperion Software Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) F.

G. STOCK OPTION AND EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PROGRAMS Under the company's stock option plans and its employee stock purchase plan ("Plans") and under certain employee compensation arrangements, 5,779,956 (1,374,776 under the employee stock purchase plan) shares of common stock are reserved for issuance to eligible participants at June 30, 1996. Changes in outstanding options were as follows: Price Range Shares ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding, June 30, 1993 $ .21 - $19.55 2,981,934 Options granted: Plans 1.57 - 15.64 810,958 Options exercised: Plans .75 - 9.75 (288,774) Compensation arrangements .38 - 2.75 (213,444) Options forfeited: Plans .98 - 9.13 (21,542) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding, June 30, 1994 .21 - 19.55 3,269,132 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Options granted: Plans 4.69 - 23.50 609,254 Options exercised: Plans .21 - 14.25 (435,956) Compensation arrangements .38 - 2.75 (359,800) Options forfeited: Plans .98 - 19.55 (28,942) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding, June 30, 1995 .38 - 23.50 3,053,688 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Options granted: Plans 7.25 - 23.88 1,756,081 Options exercised: Plans .38 - 19.55 (687,060) Compensation arrangements 1.88 - 2.75 (297,500) Options forfeited/exchanged: Plans .98 - 23.88 (765,458) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OUTSTANDING, JUNE 30, 1996 $ .38 - $23.75 3,059,751 =================================================================================== -35- 36 Hyperion Software Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) G. STOCK OPTION AND EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PROGRAMS (CONTINUED) Generally, options under the stock option plans expire 10 years after the date of grant, are granted at prices not less than fair market value and become exercisable over two- to four-year periods. Under the employee stock purchase plan, shares of the company's common stock may be purchased at six-month intervals at 85% of the lower of the fair market value on the first or the last business day of each six-month period. Employees may purchase shares having a value not exceeding 10% of their gross compensation, up to 1,000 shares, during an offering period. Options granted under employee compensation arrangements become exercisable and expire over various periods. At June 30, 1996, 1,663,658 options outstanding for common stock were exercisable and the average option price for all outstanding options was $9.67 per share. Outstanding options expire on various dates beginning August 29, 1996 and ending on June 18, 2006. The company maintains an employee savings plan that qualifies as a cash or deferred salary arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the plan, participating U.S. employees may defer up to 15% of their pre-tax compensation, but not more than $9,500 per calendar year. The company contributes to the plan, annually, up to a maximum of $1,000 per participant. Similar savings plans are maintained with respect to certain non-U.S. employees. In fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, the company contributed $1 million, $.7 million and $.5 million, respectively, to the savings plans. H. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The company leases office facilities and certain equipment under various operating lease agreements. The leases expire at various times through the year 2002. Future minimum lease payments under all operating leases with noncancellable terms in excess of one year amount to $12.6 million as follows (in millions): $4 in 1997, $3.2 in 1998, $2.5 in 1999, $1.9 in 2000 and $1 in 2001 and thereafter. Certain of the office leases provide as well for contingent payments based on building operating expenses. Rental expense for the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994 under all lease agreements was $5.1 million, $4.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively. From time to time, in the normal course of business, various claims are made against the company. At this time, in the opinion of management, there are no pending claims the outcome of which is expected to result in a material adverse effect on the financial position of the company. I. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN In November 1995, the company adopted a stockholder rights plan (the "Rights Plan") in which preferred stock rights were distributed as a rights dividend at the rate of one right for each share of common stock held as of the close of business on December 1, 1995. The Rights Plan is designed to deter coercive or unfair takeover tactics and to prevent an acquirer from gaining control of the company without offering a fair price to all of the company's stockholders. The plan is intended to protect the interests of stockholders in the event the company is confronted in the future with coercive or unfair takeover tactics. Each right will entitle holders of company common stock to buy one share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the company at an exercise price of $150. The rights will be exercisable only if a person or group acquires more than 15% of the common stock, or announces a tender or exchange offer which would result in its ownership of 15% or more of the common stock, or a person owning 10% or more of the common stock is determined by the board to be an Adverse Person, as defined in the Rights Plan. -36- 37 Hyperion Software Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) I. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN (CONTINUED) If any person or group becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the common stock except pursuant to a tender offer for all shares at a price that a majority of the independent directors determines to be fair; a more-than-15% stockholder engages in a merger with the company in which the company survives and its common stock remains outstanding and unchanged; certain other self-dealing events involving the company and a more-than-15% stockholder occur; or, under certain circumstances, the board determines a 10% or more stockholder to be an Adverse Person (collectively "Flip-In Events"), each right not owned by such person or related parties will entitle its holder to purchase, at the then current exercise price of the right, common stock of the company having a value of twice the right's exercise price (or, in certain circumstances, a combination of cash, property, common stock or other securities or a reduction in the exercise price having an aggregate value equal to the value of the common stock otherwise purchasable). After the occurrence of a Flip-In Event and before any person or affiliated group becomes the owner of 50% or more of the then outstanding common stock, the company may also exchange one share of common stock for each right outstanding. In addition, if the company is involved in a merger or other business combination transaction with another person in which its common stock is changed or converted, or sells or transfers more than 50% of its assets or earning power to another person, each right that has not previously been exercised will entitle its holder to purchase, at the then current exercise price of the right, shares of common stock of such other person having a value of twice the right's exercise price.
