  ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS
  
  
       This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within
  the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
  Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The forward-
  looking statements contained herein involve risks and uncertainties, including
  those relating to the possible inability to complete the merger transaction
  involving Calico Commerce, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Calico"),
  ConnectInc.com, Co., a Delaware corporation ("ConnectInc.com"), and Calico
  Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Calico
  ("Acquisition"), as scheduled, if at all, and those associated with the ability
  of the combined company to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger.
  Actual results and developments may differ materially from those described or
  incorporated by reference in this Report. For more information about Calico and
  ConnectInc.com and risks arising when investing in Calico and ConnectInc.com,
  investors are directed to Calico's and ConnectInc.com's most recent reports on
  Form 10-K and most recent reports on Form 10-Q as filed with the Securities and
  Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
  
       On November 19, 1999, ConnectInc.com entered into an Agreement and Plan of
  Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Calico and Acquisition. The description
  contained in this Item 5 of certain aspects of the transactions contemplated by
  the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text
  of the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
  
       The Merger Agreement contemplates that, subject to the satisfaction of
  certain conditions set forth therein, including the approval and adoption of the
  Merger Agreement by the requisite vote of ConnectInc.com's stockholders,
  Acquisition would be merged into ConnectInc.com. As a result of the merger of
  Acquisition into ConnectInc.com (the "Merger"), ConnectInc.com would become a
  wholly owned subsidiary of Calico. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each
  outstanding share of ConnectInc.com's common stock would be converted into 0.081
  of a share of Calico common stock. In addition, Calico will assume outstanding
  options exercisable for ConnectInc.com common stock. Calico will issue
  approximately 1.2 million shares of its common stock in connection with the
  transaction. The Merger is intended to be a tax-free reorganization under the
  Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and is intended to be accounted for
  as a purchase. The parties expect that the transaction will close in the first
  calendar quarter of 2000.
  
       A registration statement relating to the Calico common stock to be issued
  in connection with the Merger has not yet been filed with the SEC, nor has a
  proxy statement relating to a vote of ConnectInc.com's stockholders on the
  Merger been filed with the SEC. The Calico common stock may not be offered, nor
  may offers to acquire such stock be accepted, prior to the time such a
  registration statement becomes effective. This Report shall not constitute an
  offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any Calico common stock or
  any other security, and shall not constitute the solicitation of any vote with
  respect to the Merger.
