By means of the transformation $$y=Bx$$ with $$y=(z,\bar z)$$, $$x=(x_ 1,x_ 2)$$, and $$B=\left[\begin{matrix} 1&i \\ 1&-i \end{matrix}\right]$$, the plane dynamical system (1) $$x'=A(t)x+h(t,x)$$, with $$A(t)=(a_{ij}(t))$$, $$t\in [t_ 0,\infty)$$, $$h(t,x)=(h_ 1(t,x),h_ 2(t,x))$$, and $$x=(x_ 1,x_ 2)$$, is converted to the equation (2) $$y'=BA(t)B^{- 1}y+Bh(t,B^{-1}y)$$ where $BAB^{-1}= \left[\begin{matrix} a&b \\ \bar b&\bar a \end{matrix}\right],$ a$$=1/2(a_{11}+a_{22})+i/2(a_{21}- a_{12})$$, $$b=1/2(a_{11}-a_{22})+i/2(a_{21}+a_{12})$$. The first equation of (2) is given by (3) $$z'=a(t)z+b(t)\bar z+g(t,z,\bar z)$$ with $$g(t,z,\bar z)=h_ 1(t,1/2(z+\bar z),1/2i(z-\bar z))+ih_ 2(t,1/2(z+\bar z),1/2i(z-\bar z))$$. The asymptotic properties of (3) are related to those of (1). In the paper, sufficient conditions are given for the trivial solution of (3) to be stable or asymptotically stable.
