Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

On September 17, 2004, Versant Corporation (“Versant”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to report the completion of its sale to ems ePublishing AG, a privately held German company based in Karlsruhe, Germany (“EMS”), of all the stock of Poet GmbH, an indirect Versant subsidiary that owned the assets and employed the personnel of Versant’s Catalog Solutions Business. This sale (the “Sale”) was consummated pursuant to a Share Purchase and Transfer Agreement dated September 13, 2004 between EMS and Poet Software GmbH, another subsidiary of Versant that owned all the shares of Poet GmbH.

This filing amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 17, 2004 and is filed to provide pro forma financial information with respect to the Sale required by Item 9.01. Please also note that on September 13, 2004, Versant filed a Current Report on Form 8-K which provides additional information regarding this transaction.

(b) Pro forma financial information.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is furnished as Exhibit 99.01 to this report:

• Pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2004; and

• Pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2004.

A pro forma condensed statement of operations for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003 is not included because this period did not include operations of the Catalog Solutions Business. Versant did not acquire the Catalog Solutions Business until March 2004 as a result of its merger with Poet.

The following exhibits are filed or furnished herewith:

2.01 Share Purchase and Transfer Agreement dated as of September 13, 2004 between Poet Software GmbH and ems ePublishing AG and attached list of annexes thereto (translated to English from the original German text) (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 2.01 to Versant’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 17, 2004 (File No. 000-28540)).
