  During the quarter ended July 31, 2002, BEA Systems, Inc. (the "Company") made secured and full recourse advances in the aggregate amount of $19.2 million to Mr. William T. Coleman III, an
  officer and director of the Company, in accordance with the previously executed $25 million secured and full recourse line of credit agreement dated November 2, 2001 (the "Secured Line of Credit"). The advances are secured by real property
  owned by Mr. Coleman through The Coleman Family Trust. As of August 14, 2002, Mr. Coleman had repaid $12 million of the advances to the Company, resulting in a remaining balance owing to the Company by Mr. Coleman under the Secured Line of
  Credit of $7.2 million. Interest at 6% per annum accrues on outstanding balances under the Secured Line of Credit. All outstanding balances under the Secured Line of Credit are due in full in November 2002, at which time the Secured Line of Credit
