  ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DEPOSITION OF ASSETS
  
           (a) Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated July 31, 1997 (the
  "Purchase Agreement"), by and between the registrant, Consilium, Inc., a
  Delaware corporation ("Consilium"), FAST Associates, Pte. Ltd., a Singapore
  corporation ("FAST"), and Ng Boon Thiong, who is the principal shareholder of
  FAST (the "Shareholder"), the registrant acquired certain assets (the "Purchased
  Assets"), consisting primarily of existing systems integration contracts and
  certain related tangible and intangible assets, and assumed certain liabilities
  of FAST effective August 1, 1997.  The price of the Purchased Assets consists of
  an initial payment to the Shareholder of one hundred twenty thousand (120,000)
  shares of Common Stock of the registrant, and performance-based payments to the
  Shareholder equal to specified percentages of systems integration and related
  services net operating margin and software license and maintenance net revenue
  recognized by Consilium within certain countries in Asia for a period of three
  years ending on August 1, 2000, as follows: 45% of systems integration/services
  net operating margin, 10% of product license net revenue, and 2.5% of product
  maintenance net revenue. Such performance payments may be made in cash or
  Common Stock of the Company, at the option of the Company. One Million Five
  Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) of the performance payments, which are
  payable in either Common Stock of the registrant or cash from the registrant's
  working capital, are guaranteed, subject to adjustment in future performance
  payments if estimated revenue levels are not met.  Of these guaranteed amounts,
  a portion was paid in August 1997 by payment to the Shareholder of seventy-
  five thousand five hundred eighty-six (75,586) shares of Common Stock of the
  registrant. Four additional guaranteed payments of cash or Common Stock valued
  at $300,000 will be paid at intervals of ninety days, beginning ninety days
  from August 1, 1997.
  
           The principle used to determine the amount of consideration was arms-
  length negotiation.  Before the acquisition, there was no material relationship
  between FAST and the registrant or any of its affiliates, any director or
  officer of the registrant, or any associate of any such director or officer.
  
           FAST is a privately-held company specializing in semiconductor factory
  automation.  FAST has continued as a business entity subsequent to the sale of
  the Purchased Assets to the registrant.
  
           The registrant considers the acquisition of the Purchased Assets as a
  purchase of assets, as defined in Rule 11-01(d) of Regulation S-X.
  
           (b) Consilium acquired an immaterial amount of tangible property from
  FAST, which was used in support of FAST's provision of consulting services.
  Consilium intends to continue such use of these tangible assets.
  
  ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.
  
           (a) The registrant has not yet determined whether the filing of pro
                                                                           ---
  forma financial statements may be required pursuant to Article II of
  -----
  Registration S-X.  The registrant intends to file all required pro forma

  financial information on or before October 15, 1997.
  
           (b) The registrant has not yet determined if the filing of the
  Purchase Agreement as an exhibit hereto is required.  Upon the determination
  that filing of this exhibit is required, the registrant will file the Purchase
  Agreement as an exhibit to an amendment to this Form 8-K.
