  Item 2. Acquisition or
  Disposition of Assets.
  On February 4, 2003,
  pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 28, 2003, by and among BEA Systems, Inc. (the "Registrant"), Cardinal Acquisition Corp. ("Cardinal"), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the
  Registrant, CrossLogix, Inc. ("CrossLogix"), a California corporation, and Kenneth Schroeder and Mark Moriconi (the "Agreement"), the Registrant completed the merger of Cardinal with and into CrossLogix. The transaction was
  closed on February 4, 2003 (the "Closing").
  As consideration for the transaction, the Registrant paid $8,900,000, less an aggregate of $2,059,212 for a working capital adjustment, certain third party expenses, closing costs, and bonuses and severance amounts to various
  employees of CrossLogix in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock of CrossLogix received an aggregate of $6,840,788. Approximately $1,133,004 of the
  consideration was placed in escrow in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
  The Registrant currently intends that the CrossLogix business will continue to be operated in its current manner. Certain of the assets of CrossLogix were used in the development and support of its
  software products, and the Registrant intends to use such assets in substantially the same manner.
  The amount of consideration paid was determined through arms-length negotiations between the Registrant and CrossLogix, which negotiations
  took into account the value of CrossLogix's financial position, products, intellectual property and other factors relating to CrossLogix's business. The entire purchase price was paid from the Registrant's general working capital.
  There are no material relationships between CrossLogix and the Registrant or any of its affiliates, any director or officer of the Registrant, or any associate of any such director or officer.
  Item 7. Financial
  Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.
  (a)
  Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired
  It is impractical for Registrant to file the required financial statements at this time. Registrant intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission such
