(1) For the sole purpose of calculating the registration fee, the number of
shares to be registered under this Registration Statement has been broken down
into two sub-totals. This sub-total represents the number of shares issuable
upon exercise of presently outstanding options (options that have been granted
as of the date of this Registration Statement) issued under the 2000
Supplemental Stock Option Plan.

(2) Calculated in accordance with Rule 457(h) based on the aggregate exercise
price for all presently outstanding options described in note 1 above.

(3) This subtotal represents the sum of shares issuable upon exercise of options
that have not yet been granted under the 2000 Supplemental Stock Option Plan as
of the date of this Registration Statement.

(4) Estimated in accordance with Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act of 1933
solely for the purpose of calculating the total registration fee. Computation
based upon the average of the high and low prices of the Common Stock as
reported on the Nasdaq National Market on May 2, 2000 because the price at which
the options to be granted in the future may be exercised is not currently
determinable.

PART II:

     INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 3. INFORMATION INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

     The following documents and information heretofore filed by Puma
Technology, Inc. (the "Registrant") with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") are hereby incorporated by reference:

     (a) our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d)
of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), containing
audited financial statements for our latest fiscal year ended July 31, 1999;
     (b) our Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 18, 2000;
     (c) our Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 10, 1999 and amended on
January 11, 2000.
     (d) all other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the registrant document
referred to in (a) above; and
     (e) the description of our Common Stock contained in our Registration
Statement on Form 8-A filed on November 8, 1996 under the Exchange Act,
including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such
description.

     All documents subsequently filed by us pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c),
14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement which indicates that all securities
offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities remaining
unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration
statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

     Not Applicable.

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

     Not Applicable.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Delaware law authorizes corporations to eliminate the personal liability of
directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breach
or alleged breach of the directors' "duty of care." While the relevant statute
does not change the directors' duty of care, it enables corporations to limit
available relief to equitable remedies such as injunction or rescission. The
statute has no effect on directors' duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in
good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law,
illegal payment of dividends and approval of any transaction from which a
director derives an improper personal benefit.

     We have adopted provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation which
eliminate the personal liability of our directors and our stockholders for
monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of their duty of care. Our Bylaws
provide for indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and agents to
the full extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, our state of incorporation, including those circumstances in which
indemnification would otherwise be discretionary under Delaware law. Section 145
of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides for
indemnification in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify such individuals, under
certain circumstances, for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act").

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS

     A.   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any
material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement.

          (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

          (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

     B.   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of our annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     C.   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(1) For the sole purpose of calculating the registration fee, the number of
shares to be registered under this Registration Statement has been broken down
into two sub-totals. This sub-total represents the number of shares issuable
upon exercise of presently outstanding options (options that have been granted
as of the date of this Registration Statement) issued under the 2000
Supplemental Stock Option Plan.

(2) Calculated in accordance with Rule 457(h) based on the aggregate exercise
price for all presently outstanding options described in note 1 above.

(3) This subtotal represents the sum of shares issuable upon exercise of options
that have not yet been granted under the 2000 Supplemental Stock Option Plan as
of the date of this Registration Statement.

(4) Estimated in accordance with Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act of 1933
solely for the purpose of calculating the total registration fee. Computation
based upon the average of the high and low prices of the Common Stock as
reported on the Nasdaq National Market on May 2, 2000 because the price at which
the options to be granted in the future may be exercised is not currently
determinable.

of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), containing
audited financial statements for our latest fiscal year ended July 31, 1999;
     (b) our Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 18, 2000;
     (c) our Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 10, 1999 and amended on
January 11, 2000.

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

     Not Applicable.

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

     Not Applicable.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Delaware law authorizes corporations to eliminate the personal liability of
directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breach
or alleged breach of the directors' "duty of care." While the relevant statute
does not change the directors' duty of care, it enables corporations to limit
available relief to equitable remedies such as injunction or rescission. The
statute has no effect on directors' duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in
good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law,
illegal payment of dividends and approval of any transaction from which a
director derives an improper personal benefit.

     We have adopted provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation which
eliminate the personal liability of our directors and our stockholders for
monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of their duty of care. Our Bylaws
provide for indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and agents to
the full extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, our state of incorporation, including those circumstances in which
indemnification would otherwise be discretionary under Delaware law. Section 145
of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides for
indemnification in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify such individuals, under
certain circumstances, for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act").

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS

     A.   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any
material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement.

          (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

          (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

     B.   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of our annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     C.   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
