   Indicate by check mark whether the registrant (1) has filed all reports
required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period than the

amendment to this Form 10-K.

   The aggregate market value of the voting stock held by non-affiliates of the
registrant was approximately $86,651,229 as of June 25, 2001 based upon the
closing sale price on the Nasdaq National Market reported for such date. Shares
of Common Stock held by each officer and director and by each person who owns
5% or more of the outstanding Common Stock have been excluded in that such
persons may be deemed to be affiliates. This determination of affiliate status
is not necessarily a conclusive determination for other purposes.

   There were 29,213,746 shares of the registrant's Common Stock issued and
outstanding as of June 25, 2001.

   The Registrant hereby amends the text in the section titled Documents
Incorporated by Reference and in the introduction to Item 3 of its Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on June 29, 2001 to read as follows:

                      DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

   Part III incorporates information by reference from the definitive proxy
statement for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on September 7,
2001.

                                    PART III

   Certain information required by Part III is omitted from this report because
Brio will file a definitive proxy statement within 120 days after the end of
its fiscal year pursuant to Regulation 14A (the "Proxy Statement") for its
Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on September 7, 2001, and the
