Business Editors/Legal Writers

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 12, 2000

Pursuant to Section 21D(a)(3)(A)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Notice is hereby given that on September 8, 2000, a class action lawsuit alleging violations of the federal securities laws was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against Unify Corporation, ("Unify" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:UNFY) (Nasdaq:UNFYE), Reza Mikailli, and Gary Pado. The action is styled Zolnai v. UNIFY Corporation, et al., Case Number C-00-20933-EAI and is currently pending before Judge Edward A. Infante. The action is brought on behalf of a class of persons who purchased the common stock and call options of Unify during the period from May 19, 1999 through and including July 28, 2000 (the "Class Period").

The lawsuit charges Unify and certain of its officers with violations of the federal securities laws by issuing materially false and misleading financial statements. On July 31, 2000, Unify disclosed that the "company has engaged in improper accounting practices and that portions of Unify's reported revenues for its fiscal year ended April 30, 2000 were improperly recognized." The Company further disclosed that "issues have also been raised which indicate that portions of Unify's reported revenues for its fiscal year ended April 30, 1999 may have been improperly recognized." As a result of the improper accounting practices, Unify disclosed that it will restate its financial results for each of the first three quarters of fiscal year 2000 and will "substantially revise" its previously reported fourth quarter financial results for fiscal year 2000. Further, Unify's President and Chief Financial Officer have been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation by the Company's audit committee. During the Class Period, the Company's President and Chief Financial Officer collectively sold approximately $7.8 million of Unify stock. As a result of the Company's disclosure on July 31, 2000, NASDAQ halted trading in Unify stock, and as of the date of this press release, trading has not resumed.
