NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Compuware Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Company"). All intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America ("generally accepted accounting principles") for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. Generally accepted accounting principles require
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, contingencies and results of operations. While management
has based their assumptions and estimates on the facts and circumstances known
at June 30, 2002, final amounts may differ from estimates.

In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair presentation
of the results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2002 included in the
Company's Annual Report to Shareholders and the Company's Form 10-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. The consolidated balance sheet at March
31, 2002 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but
does not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. The results of
operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of actual results
achieved for full fiscal years.

Certain amounts in the fiscal 2002 financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the fiscal 2003 presentation.

NOTE 5 -- RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, Compuware adopted a restructuring plan to
reorganize its operating divisions, primarily the professional services segment.
These changes were designed to increase profitability by better aligning cost
structures with current market conditions.

The restructuring plan includes a reduction of professional services staff at
certain locations, the closing of entire professional services offices and a
reduction of sales support personnel, lab technicians and related administrative
and financial staff. Approximately 1,600 employees worldwide will be terminated
as a result of the reorganization. As of June 30, 2002, 1,282 of the affected
employees had been terminated.

The following table summarizes the restructuring charge taken in fiscal 2002,
and charges against the accrual during the first quarter of fiscal 2003 (in

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT


Compuware Corporation:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Compuware Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2002, and
the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for
the three-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the
financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to such condensed consolidated financial statements for them to be in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of the
Company as of March 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented herein); and in our report dated May 6, 2002, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of March 31, 2002 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the federal securities laws which are identified by the use of the words
"believes," "expects," "anticipates," "will," "contemplates," "would" and
similar expressions that contemplate future events. Numerous important factors,
risks and uncertainties affect operating results, including, without limitation,
those contained in this report and in our 2002 Form 10-K filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and could cause actual results to differ
materially from the results implied by these or any other forward-looking
statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. There can be no assurance that
future results will meet expectations. While the Company believes that its
forward-looking statements are reasonable, you should not place undue reliance
on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.
Except as required by applicable law, the Company does not undertake any
obligation to publicly release any revisions which may be made to any
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after
the date of this report.

Effective April 1, 2002, in accordance with FASB 142, the goodwill balance is no
longer being amortized on a monthly basis. Instead, it will be tested at least
annually for impairment. If goodwill had not been amortized in fiscal 2002, net
income in the first quarter of last year would have been $42.6 million, or 11
cents per diluted share.

Effective April 1, 2002, we reorganized our operations to better allow the
products and professional services organizations to focus on meeting customer
needs. We have reclassified certain expense items to better reflect our new
operating structure -- no longer allocating costs associated with the
facilities, finance and human resource departments to the various operating
groups. Instead, these costs are now included in administrative and general
expenses. All technology costs including costs associated with internal systems
are included in the technology development and support expense line. This
reclassification did not change total operating expenses. In accordance with
EITF No. 01-14, "Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received
for `Out-of-pocket' Expenses Incurred", we have also reclassified travel expense
reimbursements paid by customers as revenue rather than as a reduction to the
related expense. This reclassification has resulted in a slight change to
professional services fees and cost of professional services without changing
income or loss from operations. The following table sets forth for the periods
indicated, certain operational data reclassified to conform to the current
presentation (dollars in thousands):

We operate in two business segments in the technology industry: products and
professional services. We evaluate the performance of our segments based
primarily on segment contribution before corporate expenses. References to years
are to fiscal years ended March 31.

SOFTWARE PRODUCTS

REVENUE

Our products are designed to support four key activities within the application
development process: development and integration, quality assurance, production
readiness and performance management of the application to optimize performance
in production. Products revenue consists of software license fees and
maintenance fees and comprised 47.0% and 45.8% of total Company revenue during
the first quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively. OS/390 product revenue
(mainframe revenue) decreased $38.8 million or 23.3% during the first quarter of
2003 to $128.1 million from $166.9 million during the first quarter of 2002.
Revenue from distributed software products decreased $4.7 million or 11.9%
during the first quarter of 2003 to $34.8 million from $39.5 million during the
first quarter of 2002.

The overall decline in product revenue from the first quarter of 2002 to 2003
was primarily attributable to decreases in license fees and maintenance fees
associated with decreased customer demand for our products due in part to the
continued softness in the economy as a whole and the IT industry in particular.
License revenue decreased $38.4 million or 40.2% during the first quarter of
2003 to $57.2 million from $95.6 million during the first quarter of 2002.
Maintenance fees decreased $5.1 million or 4.6% to $105.7 million during the
first quarter of 2003 from $110.8 million during the first quarter of 2002. The
decrease in maintenance fees was primarily attributable to lower license fees
during both 2003 and 2002 and to market pressure on pricing.

We support clients with product transactions covering multiple years and
allowing deferred payment terms. The contract price is allocated between
maintenance for the term of the deal and license revenue. All license revenue
associated with these perpetual license agreements is recognized when the
customer commits unconditionally to the transaction, the software products and
quantities are fixed and the software has been shipped to the customer. License
revenue associated with transactions that include an option to exchange or
select products in the future has been deferred and is recognized over the term
of the deal. When the license portion is paid over a number of years, the
license portion of the payment stream is discounted to its net present value.
Interest income is recognized over the payment term. The maintenance associated
with all sales has been deferred and is recognized over the applicable
maintenance period.

thousands):

The products segment generated contribution margins of 35.2% and 41.0% during
the first quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively. Products expenses include cost
of software license fees, technology development and support costs, and sales
and marketing expenses. The decrease in margin in the first quarter of 2003 was
primarily a result of the decrease in software license revenue.

Cost of license fees includes amortization of capitalized software, the cost of
preparing and disseminating products to customers and the cost of author
royalties. The decrease in these costs in the first quarter of 2003 was due
primarily to decreased amortization of purchased software, decreased cost of
printing and materials, and decreased salary and benefits associated with lower
employee headcount. As a percentage of software license fees, cost of software
license fees were 13.3% and 9.1% in the first quarter of 2003 and 2002,
respectively.

Technology development and support includes, primarily, the costs of programming
personnel associated with product development and support less the amount of
software development costs capitalized during the period. Personnel costs
associated with developing and maintaining internal systems and
hardware/software costs required to support technology initiatives are also
included here. The decrease in these costs in the first quarter of 2003 was
primarily attributable to a decrease in salaries and bonuses associated with
lower employee headcount and to reduced travel costs. As a percentage of product
revenue, costs of technology development and support were 19.5% and 20.2% in the
first quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Capitalization of internally developed software products begins when
technological feasibility of the product is established. Before the
capitalization of internally developed software products, total research and
development expenditures for the first quarter of 2003 decreased $10.0 million,
or 22.3%, to $34.8 million from $44.8 million in the first quarter of 2002.

Though we continue to place significant emphasis on direct sales through our own
sales force, we also market our products through indirect channels. Sales and
marketing costs consist primarily of personnel related costs associated with
products direct sales and sales support, marketing for all Company offerings,
and personnel costs associated with new sales initiatives. The decrease in sales
and marketing costs from the first quarter of 2002 to the first quarter of 2003
was primarily attributable to decreased salaries and benefits, and decreased
travel expenses, offset by increased bonuses and commissions. As a percentage
of license fees, sales and marketing costs were 115.8% and 74.8% in the first
quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

REVENUE

We offer a broad range of information technology professional services,
including business systems analysis, design and programming, software conversion
and system planning and consulting. Revenue from professional services decreased
$60.3 million or 24.7% during the first quarter of 2003 to $183.8 million
compared to $244.1 million in the first quarter of 2002. The decrease in revenue
for 2003 was due, primarily, to a reduction in customer demand for professional
services, the January 2002 assignment of our prime contract with a client to a
company in which we have a minority equity investment, and to a lesser extent,
the transfer of our engineering business to an unrelated third party in December
2001.

          * Reclassified to conform to the June 2002 presentation.


During the first quarter of 2003, the professional services segment generated a
contribution margin of 8.9%, compared to 11.5% during the first quarter of 2002.
The decrease in professional services margin is primarily due to lower billing
rates and reduced customer demand for our services associated with the decline
of the economy as a whole and the IT sector specifically.

Cost of professional services consists primarily of personnel-related costs of
providing services, including billable staff, subcontractors and sales
personnel. The decrease in these costs from the first quarter of 2002 to the
first quarter of 2003 is due, primarily, to reductions in staff, resulting in
lower salaries and benefits, and decreased use of subcontractors for special
services. The professional billable staff decreased 1,746 people to 5,777 people
as of June 30, 2002 from 7,523 people at June 30, 2001.

CORPORATE AND OTHER EXPENSES

Administration and general expenses consist of all costs associated with the
operations and administration of the company. These costs include the corporate
executive, finance, human resources, legal and corporate communications
departments. In addition, administrative and general costs include all
facility-related costs, such as rent, maintenance, utilities, etc, associated
with our local sales and professional services offices. Administrative and
general expenses decreased $6.9 million, or 13.4% during the first quarter of
2003 to $44.8 million from $51.7 million during the first quarter of 2002. The
decrease in administrative and general expenses was primarily attributable to
decreased building rent and decreased salaries resulting from the restructuring
discussed below.

Interest and investment income for the first quarter of 2003 was $6.7 million as
compared to $6.9 million in the first quarter of 2002. This decrease was due to
decreased interest related to customers' deferred installments. Interest expense
for the first quarter of 2003 was $1.5 million as compared to $2.5 million in
the first quarter of 2002. Interest expense includes amortization of the initial
financing fees and fees associated with the unutilized balance of the Senior
Credit Facility (the credit facility) discussed in the Liquidity and Capital
Resources section below. The decrease in interest expense from 2002 to 2003 was
primarily attributable to the payoff of debt previously outstanding under the
credit facility.

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Deferred
income taxes are provided for the differences between the tax bases of assets or
liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. The income
tax provision was $11.6 million in the first quarter of 2003, which represents
an effective tax rate of 34%. This compares to an income tax provision of $21.1
million in the first quarter of 2002, which represents an effective tax rate of
38%. The decrease in the effective tax rate is a result of no longer amortizing
goodwill for financial statement purposes. Much of the goodwill amortization in
the prior year was not deductible for income tax purposes.


RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

In the fourth quarter of 2002, we adopted a restructuring plan to reorganize our
operating divisions, primarily the professional services segment. These changes
were designed to increase profitability in the future by better aligning cost
structures with current market conditions.

The restructuring plan included a reduction of professional services staff at
certain locations, the closing of entire professional services offices and a
reduction of sales support personnel, lab technicians and related administrative
and financial staff. Approximately 1,600 employees worldwide will be terminated
as a result of the reorganization. The restructuring is proceeding as planned.
As of June 30, 2002 and July 15, 2002, 1,282 and 1,367 employees, respectively,
had been terminated as a result of the reorganization.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these
financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our assumptions and
estimates were based on the facts and circumstances known at June 30, 2002,
future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates
routinely require adjustment. The accounting policies discussed in Item 7 of our
Annual Report on Form 10-K are considered by management to be the most important
to an understanding of our financial statements, because their application
places the most significant demands on management's judgment and estimates about
the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. These policies are also
discussed in note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included
in Item 8 of that report. There have been no material changes to that
information during the first quarter of 2003.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2002, cash and investments totaled approximately $475.0 million.
During the first quarter of 2003 and the first quarter of 2002, we generated
$96.1 million and $85.6 million, respectively, in operating cash flow. The
increased operating cash flow is generated, in part, from the collection of the
current portion of prior years' installment receivables as reflected in the
decrease in total accounts receivable. During these periods, we had capital
expenditures that included property and equipment, capitalized research and
software development, and purchased software of $46.5 million and $17.6 million,
respectively.

As of June 30, 2002, there was no long-term debt, compared to $52.0 million as
of June 30, 2001. This balance represented borrowings under the credit facility.

There is currently $500 million available for borrowing under the credit
facility. Interest may be determined on a Eurodollar or base rate (as defined in
the credit facility) basis at our option. The credit agreement contains
restrictive covenants and requires commitment fees in accordance with standard
banking practice.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   (CONTINUED)

We believe available cash resources including the amount available under the
credit facility, together with cash flow from operations, will be sufficient to
meet our cash needs for the foreseeable future.

Although there were no acquisitions during the first quarter of 2003, we
continue to evaluate business acquisition opportunities that fit our strategic
plans.

We are building a new corporate headquarters building with a current estimated
cost of $350 million for the building and an estimated $50 million for furniture
and fixtures. Cash outlays will have no impact on the results of operations
until the building is ready for occupancy. When fully occupied, in calendar
2003, the depreciation will result in an annual expense of approximately $17
million. This will be partially offset by the savings realized by the
consolidation of offices. Capital expenditures to date total $149.7 million.
Cash outlays for the next twelve months are expected to be approximately $247.5
million. Currently, we intend to fund the building using cash on hand and cash
flow from operations.



       ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed primarily to market risks associated with movements in
interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. There have been no material
changes to foreign exchange risk management strategy or marketable securities
subsequent to March 31, 2002, therefore the market risks remain substantially
unchanged since the Company filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ending March 31, 2002.
