California Software Begins Consolidation of Unibol and Plans to Rename the Combined Entity Despite Unresolved Issues With UniComp.

Business Editors

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 30, 2000

California Software Corp. (OTCBB:CAWC), a leader in IBM Midrange migration products and developer of the award-winning BABY product line, Thursday announced the planned consolidation of Unibol, its recently announced acquisition.

Bruce Acacio, CEO of California Software stated: "Unibol has been the primary competitor for our BABY/36 and BABY/AS 2000 products on a worldwide basis. We are very pleased to welcome the employees and customers of Unibol to the California Software family which adds offices in Atlanta, Ga., Brussels, Belgium and Belfast, United Kingdom to California Software's existing operations in Irvine, Calif. and Richmond, Va.

"We will begin the consolidation of the two businesses by announcing that the combined entity, which now also includes ALE Systems, a Financial Services Software Provider and IBM Business Partner, based in Richmond, Va., shall be renamed."

California Software has enjoyed significant interest in its latest products, BABY/GUI and baby.com which provide a graphical and Web-enablement capability to existing iSeries 400-based applications. This technology offers significant benefits to existing Unibol/36 and Unibol/400 customers as well as providing a growing list of new customers who have chosen to remain on IBM's popular iSeries 400 systems.

California Software enjoys more than 100,000 installations in 56 countries. Its customers include Caterpillar, Volvo, DHL Worldwide, BMW Motors, Conseco and Bancomer. With headquarters in Irvine, California Software has locations in Atlanta, Richmond, Brussels, and Belfast.

Following the execution of the definitive agreement concerning the transaction by which California Software acquired the Unibol business from UniComp Inc. (Nasdaq:UCMP) and its affiliate, a dispute arose between the parties with regard to the corporate entities considered part of "Unibol."

California Software believes, and will continue to operate under the assumption, that it acquired all of the Unibol business previously owned by UniComp (including both domestic and foreign Unibol entities and operations). UniComp has taken a different position, claiming that the U.S. distribution operations of Unibol (operated through Unibol Inc.) were not included in the acquisition.

California Software has engaged in discussions to resolve these issues with UniComp and is unsure whether it will be able to resolve them without resorting to litigation.
