ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION


The Reporting Person acquired its beneficial interest in the Common Shares
through an arrangement ("Arrangement") under the Company Act of British
Columbia, approved by the securityholders of Pivotal at an extraordinary general
meeting held February 23, 2004, subsequently approved judicially via an order of
the British Columbia Supreme Court on February 24, 2004, and closed on February
25, 2004. Pursuant to the Arrangement, the Reporting Person acquired 100% of the
outstanding common shares of Pivotal Corporation. The Reporting Person funded
the acquisition through a combination of cash available in working capital and
its own common shares (NASDAQ: china). According to the terms of the
Arrangement, holders of Pivotal common shares could elect to receive either (a)
US$2.14, comprised of US$1.00 in cash plus US$1.14 in chinadotcom common shares
(to be calculated using the average closing price of chinadotcom common shares
on Nasdaq during the ten consecutive trading days ending on and including the
trading day that is two trading days prior to the closing of the acquisition) or
(b) US$2.00 in cash per share.

As a result of the elections of Pivotal shareholders, total proceeds for the
acquisition were US$35,924,840 in cash and 1,846,429 chinadotcom common shares,
with a value (based on the average closing price of chinadotcom common shares on
Nasdaq during the ten consecutive trading days ending on and including the
trading day that is two trading days prior to the closing of the acquisition) of
US$20,717,672.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

As described in Item 3 above, the Reporting Person acquired the Common Shares
(comprising 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Issuer) in
order to give effect to an acquisition of Pivotal. Pivotal is a leading provider
of customer relationship management (CRM) software to mid-size enterprises.
Pivotal's broad suite of marketing, sales, service and partner management
capabilities will form a significant component of the strategy of CDC Software
Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of chinadotcom, by complementing its
Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP"), Supply Chain Management ("SCM") and Human
Resources and Payroll ("HRP") product offerings, which currently have limited
CRM functionality.

The Common Shares represent 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of
Pivotal as of the closing date of the transaction. As a result, Pivotal has
become an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of chinadotcom, held by
chinadotcom's wholly-owned subsidiary, CDC Software Acquisitionco II. Pivotal's
common shares have been de-listed from the Nasdaq and TSX stock exchanges.

The purpose of the transaction as stated above will have the following results:

     (a)  As a result of the transaction, the Reporting Person owns 100% of the
          shares of the issuer. The Reporting Person has no plans or proposals
          which would result in any person acquiring or disposing of additional
          securities of the issuer.

     (b)  The transaction has resulted in the issuer becoming an indirect
          wholly-owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person.

     (c)  The transaction represents the sale of the issuer to the Reporting
          Person.

     (d)  The former Board of Directors of the issuer was comprised of:
                         Norman Francis
                         Keith Wales
                         Kent Roger (Bo) Manning
                         Divesh Sisodraker
                         Eric Rosenfeld
                         Jeremy Jaech
                         Howard Gwin
                         Steven Gordon

          Subsequent to the transaction, the new Board of Directors of Pivotal
          is comprised of:
                         Peter Yip
                         Steven Chan
                         Daniel Widdicombe
                         Kent Roger (Bo) Manning

     (e)  n/a

     (f)  n/a

     (g)  n/a

     (h)  The common shares of Pivotal have been de-listed from the Nasdaq and
          TSX stock exchanges.

     (i)  The common shares of Pivotal are eligible for termination of
          registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act, and Pivotal will
          file a Form 15 with the Commission.

          representing 100% of the common shares, of the issuer.

          shares of the issuer.
