1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
applicable to interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all
of the information and notes required for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments and reclassifications considered
necessary for a fair and comparable presentation have been included and are of a
normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and six months ended

expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.

2.       EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Shares used in the earnings per share calculation are as follows.
Common stock equivalents have been excluded from the earnings (loss) per share
calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 as their
effect is not dilutive:

3.     SEGMENT DISCLOSURES

         The Company provides enterprise-wide software products and a full-range
of consulting and support services exclusively to the retail industry. The
Company conducts business in five geographic regions that have separate
management teams and reporting infrastructures: the United States, EMEA (Europe,
Middle East and Africa), Asia/Pacific, Canada and Latin America. Similar
products and services are offered in each geographic region and local management
is evaluated primarily based on total revenues and operating income. Through the
year ended December 31, 1998, the Company disclosed segmental revenues, income
(loss) from operations, and identifiable assets based on these geographic
regions. The geographic distribution of the Company's revenues for the three and
six-months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 is as follows:

         Beginning in 1999, the Company also implemented an organizational
structure to manage its business along three primary product categories (the
"Operating Segments"): Enterprise Systems that distribute data throughout a
retail enterprise and provide decision support for inventory control, cost and
price management, purchase order management, automated replenishment,
merchandise planning and allocation; In-store Systems that enable a retailer to
capture and analyze operational information and transmit such information to
corporate-level systems for sales and other analysis; and Analytic Applications
that provide a comprehensive set of tools for analyzing business results and
trends, monitoring strategic plans and enabling tactical decisions. A summary of
the Company's revenues and operating income (loss) by Operating Segments for the
three and six-months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 is as follows:

         The operating incomes (losses) shown for Enterprise Systems, In-store
Systems and Analytic Applications include allocations for occupancy costs,
depreciation expense, and amortization of related intangibles. All other
non-allocated expenses that are not directly identified with a particular
Operating Segment are reported under the caption "Other" including the $2.1
million restructuring and asset disposition charge that was recorded during the
three months ended March 31, 1999. The operating loss shown for Analytical
Applications for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 includes $17.0
million of purchased in-process research and development that was expensed in
connection with the acquisition of the Arthur Retail Business Unit in June 1998.

The Company continues to identify assets according to geographic region. There
were no material changes in identifiable assets among geographic regions during
the three and six-months ended June 30, 1999.

4.     RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET DISPOSITION CHARGE

         The Company recorded a $2.1 million restructuring and asset disposition
charge during the first quarter of 1999. The restructuring initiatives involved
a workforce reduction of over 50 full-time employees in the United States and
Europe ($1.4 million), the closure of three unprofitable locations in Germany,
France and South Africa ($226,000), the disposal of property and equipment
related to the closure of these locations and the consolidation of the Company's
corporate operations into one facility ($507,000), and the release of over 80
subcontractors worldwide. All workforce reductions were made on or before March
31, 1999. As of June 30, 1999, the Company had utilized approximately $1.7
million of the related reserve and anticipates that substantially all of the
remaining reserve will be utilized during 1999.

5.       EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

         On March 4, 1999, the Board of Directors approved the formation of a
new employee stock purchase plan, that was subsequently approved by the
shareholders at the 1999 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "1999 Purchase
Plan"). The 1999 Purchase Plan provides for an initial share reserve of 750,000
shares of common stock, which amount will be increased on August 1st of each
year (beginning August 1, 2000 and ending August 1, 2009) by an amount equal to
the lesser of 750,000 shares or an amount determined by the Board of Directors.
The 1999 Purchase Plan will be implemented in six-month offering periods
commencing August 16, 1999. Eligible employees may purchase common stock
semi-annually under the 1999 Purchase Plan at 85% of the lesser of (1) the fair
market value on the first day of the offering period, or (2) the fair market
value on the date of purchase.

6.       LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         Bernat v. JDA Software Group, Inc., et al., Dist. of Arizona No.
CIV'99-0065 PHX RGS and related cases.

         On January 13, 1999, Rod Bernat, an alleged shareholder of JDA Software
Group, Inc., filed a securities class action lawsuit against the Company, its
Co-Chief Executive Officers, Frederick M. Pakis and James D. Armstrong, its
former Senior Vice President Of Research and Development, Kenneth Desmarchais,
and its former Chief Executive Officer, Brent W. Lippman, in U.S. District Court
for the District of Arizona. The complaint filed in connection with the lawsuit
alleged that during the alleged class period, January 29, 1998 through January
5, 1999, the Company misrepresented its business, financial statements and
business prospects to investors. The complaint further alleged that certain
officers of the Company sold significant quantities of the Company's common
stock during the alleged class period while the market price of the common stock
was artificially inflated by the alleged misrepresentations. Plaintiffs seek
designation of the action as a class action and damages for violation of
Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5
promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Following the filing of the Bernat action, lawsuits were filed by Norman Wiss,
Theodore J. Bloukos, Gwen Werboski, Elmer S. Martin, Linda May, Ivan Sommer,
David Hesrick and Michael J. Corn all purporting to act on behalf of the same
class of shareholders for the same class period, making substantially similar
allegations. On March 25, 1999, the District Court consolidated these lawsuits
into one case. On May 5, 1999, pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, the District Court appointed as lead plaintiffs in the
consolidated case M. Broenner, A. Gruss, Jerald Politzer, Far West Partners,
L.P., Marc Trandel, Sam Pallin and Ben R. Wilson. On July 23, 1999, Marc
Trandel, Sam Pallin, M. Broenner, A. Gruss and Jerald Politzer, allegedly as
lead plaintiffs, filed a Consolidated and Amended Class Action Complaint
("Consolidated Complaint"). The Consolidated Complaint alleges a new class
period of December 1, 1997 through July 30, 1998, which is substantially shorter
than the class period alleged in the original complaints. The Consolidated
Complaint alleges that during the new class period, JDA and the individual
defendants failed to disclose alleged difficulties JDA was allegedly having with
the development of the ODBMS product. The Consolidated Complaint does not allege
that the Company made any misrepresentations in its financial statements. Also
on July 23, 1999, Jerald Politzer and Donald Seligman filed a separate complaint
in this litigation alleging claims under Sections 11, 12(2) and 15 of the
Securities Act of 1933. They allege that the Company failed to disclose in its
prospectus and registration statement for its secondary offering of securities
on May 5, 1998, alleged difficulties JDA was allegedly having with the
development of the ODBMS product. Management believes that the actions are
without merit and intends to defend them vigorously.

7.       NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS No. 133") that is effective for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 1999. The FASB subsequently delayed the effective
date of SFAS No. 133 for one year, to fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000. The delay, published as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
137, applies to quarterly and annual financial statements. The Company has not
completed the process of evaluating the impact that will result from the
adoption of SFAS No. 133; however, on a preliminary basis, management does not
believe that eventual adoption will have a significant impact on the Company's
financial statements.

OVERVIEW

    JDA is a global provider of integrated enterprise-wide software products and
services that address the mission-critical and valued-added management
information needs of the entire retail supply chain. The Company's software
products are organized along three business units: Enterprise Systems, In-store
Systems, and Analytic Applications. The Company offers a wide range of
professional services through its consulting and customer support organizations,
including project management, system planning, design and implementation, custom
modifications, training and support services.

    JDA has historically derived a significant portion of its revenues from
software licenses and consulting, maintenance and other services relating to its
IBM AS/400-based Merchandise Management System ("MMS"). Total revenues from the
MMS product line represented 40% and 43% of the Company's total revenues during
the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively, versus 45% in fiscal
1998 and 56% in fiscal 1997. Although the Company expects MMS revenues to
continue to represent a significant portion of total revenues for the
foreseeable future, MMS revenues as a percentage of total revenues may continue
to decline as a result of reduced demand for MMS and/or increased revenues
attributable to the Company's other product lines.

    Software license revenues and consulting, maintenance and other services
revenues represented 29% and 71%, respectively, of JDA's total revenues during
the three months ended June 30, 1999, versus 31% and 69%, respectively in fiscal
1998, and 46% and 54%, respectively, in fiscal 1997. JDA's overall revenue mix
was affected during fiscal 1998 by lower than anticipated software license
revenues in its international markets during the second and third quarters of
1998, and then in both international and domestic markets in the fourth quarter
of 1998. Software license revenues from the Company's international markets have
shown improvement during the first half of 1999; however, the overall software
mix continues to be impacted by a downturn in demand for domestic software
licenses. While the Company believes its software license pipeline for the
second half of 1999 is somewhat stronger than the first half of 1999, management
remains very cautious about the possibility of a lock-down on all new major
capital expenditures by retailers as the millenium change nears. The following
table sets forth a quarterly comparison of 1997, 1998 and 1999 domestic and
international software license revenues:

</TABLE>


     Software license revenues in each of the Company's product line business
units, including Enterprise Systems, increased sequentially during the second
quarter of 1999. However, with the exception of Analytic Applications, the
Company continues to experience a downturn in overall demand versus 1998 for its
product lines (Enterprise Systems and In-Store Systems). In particular, sales of
the Company's ODBMS product have failed to meet the Company's expectations. The
Company believes that sales of ODBMS have been affected by a significant
drop-off in demand related to the millennium change, external and internal
marketing issues, increased competition, and a limited number of referenceable
implementations. Moreover, the ODBMS product is highly complex and
sophisticated. As the Company believes is typical of client/server software
products, the Company has detected and is attempting to address certain design
and stability problems in early versions of the ODBMS product. Since
implementation of ODBMS generally involves customer-specific customization and
integration with a variety of hardware and software systems developed by third
parties, each version of the product may contain undetected errors when first
released. The Company has only discovered and evaluated certain of these
problems after the ODBMS product has been implemented and used by the customer
with live data over time, with different computer systems and in a variety of
applications and environments.

    The precise nature of the decline in demand for the Company's other products
cannot be determined. However, the Company believes it may result from a
combination of deferred purchasing decisions caused by uncertainty related to
the millennium change, elongated sales cycles, ongoing weakness in international
economies and increased competition.

    Consulting, maintenance and other services revenues are derived from a range
of services, including system design and implementation and, to a lesser extent,
software maintenance, support and training. Consulting, maintenance and other
services revenues are generally more predictable but generate significantly
lower gross margins than software revenues. The Company has increased the size
of its services organization over the past two years in anticipation of an
increased mix of consulting, maintenance and other services revenues in both
domestic and international markets, and continued market acceptance of its newer
client/server product lines, which require longer implementation cycles. In the
past, the Company has experienced some seasonality in the mix of service
revenues in relation to total revenues as a result, the Company believes, of
retailers' preferred implementation timing and the Company's expansion,
particularly in international markets. In light of the current uncertainty
regarding demand for the Company's Enterprise and In-store Systems, the Company
currently anticipates that consulting, maintenance and other services revenues
may continue to increase as a percentage of total revenues. As a result of
declining new software sales in Europe, the Company took specific actions in the
fourth quarter of 1998 and first quarter of 1999 to reduce the consulting
services workforce in that region and eliminate the subcontractors that were
being used to supplement the implementation staff. Further, in response to the
decreased demand for new software licenses, the Company is focusing on the
replacement of implementation and other service revenues associated with new
software sales, with sales of new and expanded services to its existing customer
base. These services will include a global 24-hour customer support service
centralized in the Company's corporate offices and optimum



                                       12
<PAGE>   13
service offerings for point-of-sale customers. The Company expects only modest
growth, if any, in the overall size of its services organization over the
remaining quarters of 1999.

    The Company has pursued a strategy of addressing international markets by
developing localized versions of its products and establishing international
subsidiaries with direct sales and consulting capabilities. International
revenues represented 52% and 49% of total revenues for the three months and six
months ended June 30, 1999, as compared with 45% and 55% in the fiscal years
ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Consulting, maintenance and
other services in support of international software licenses typically have had
lower gross margins than those achieved domestically due to higher costs or
generally lower prevailing billing rates in certain of the Company's
international markets. Therefore, significant growth in the Company's
international operations may result in declines in gross margins on consulting,
maintenance and other services.

      The Company had net receivables of $39.8 million, or 97 days sales
outstanding ("DSOs") at June 30, 1999, compared to $40.6 million, or 113 DSOs at
December 31, 1998. The Company provided additional bad debt reserves of $1.3
million during the second quarter of 1999. This increase resulted primarily from
two large bankruptcies during the second quarter; increased delinquencies in the
domestic receivables and an increase in the Company's general reserve. The
Company believes that the bankruptcies are isolated instances in highly
competitive retail situations. There was no significant improvement in
delinquent Asia/Pacific receivables during the second quarter of 1999; however,
the composition of the receivables in the region is improving, shifting away
from Indonesia, Hong Kong, and Malaysia to more favorable economic environments
such as Japan and Australia.

    The Company remains cautious about its expectations regarding international
and domestic operations in the near term. The Company expects its operating
results to continue to be less predictable in the future then was the case
historically as a result of uncertainties in certain geographic regions and
weakness in demand for its software products, possibly related, in part to the
millenium change. Management believes these economic conditions and
uncertainties could continue to adversely impact the Company's business,
operating results and financial condition for an indefinite period of time. So
long as software license revenues remain at reduced levels due to deferred
purchasing decisions or budgetary lock-downs caused by uncertainty related to
the millenium change, the Company will attempt to moderate its operating
expenses to remain at break-even to slightly profitable operating levels.

    To the extent the Company's international operations expand or represent an
increasing percentage of the Company's overall business, the Company expects
that an increasing portion of its international software license and consulting,
maintenance and other services revenues will be denominated in foreign
currencies, subjecting the Company to risks related to fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates. Historically, the Company's operations have not been
materially adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates, and the Company has not engaged in foreign currency hedging transactions.
However, if the Company expands its international operations, exposures to gains
and losses on foreign currency transactions may increase. The Company may choose
to limit such exposure by entering into forward foreign exchange contracts or
engaging in similar hedging strategies. There can be no assurance that any
currency exchange strategy would be successful in avoiding or reducing
exchange-related losses. In addition, revenues of the Company earned in various
countries where the Company does business may be subject to taxation by more
than one jurisdiction, thereby adversely affecting the Company's earnings.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

     On July 28, 1999, the Company announced that Co-Chairman and Co-Chief
Executive Officer Frederick M. Pakis resigned as Co-Chief Executive Officer and
would continue in his capacity as Co-Chairman effective immediately. James D.
Armstrong will serve as the Company's sole Chief Executive Officer while
continuing to share Co-Chairman responsibilities with Mr. Pakis.

    On June 10, 1999, the Company announced the availability of MMS.com, an
e-commerce merchandizing solution designed to enable retailers to establish a
secure, integrated virtual store on the Internet. MMS.com, which is also
referred to as JDA Webstore, is based on IBM's Net.Commerce merchant server
software and is designed to deliver a scalable and dynamic online commerce
engine that supports a wide variety of buying processes and transaction types
including virtual shopping carts, online catalogs, sales promotions, shipping
options and customer-controlled order checking.



                                       13
<PAGE>   14
     The Company recorded a $2.1 million restructuring and asset disposition
charge during the first quarter of 1999. The restructuring initiatives involved
a workforce reduction of over 50 full-time employees in the United States and
Europe ($1.4 million), the closure of three unprofitable locations in Germany,
France and South Africa ($226,000), the disposal of property and equipment
related to the closure of these locations and the consolidation of the Company's
corporate operations into one facility ($507,000), and the release of over 80
subcontractors worldwide. All workforce reductions were made on or before March
31, 1999. As of June 30, 1999, the Company had utilized approximately $1.7
million of the related reserve and anticipates that substantially all of the
remaining reserve will be utilized during 1999.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

Revenues

    Total revenues for three months ended June 30, 1999 were $37.2 million, an
increase of 4% over the $35.7 million reported in the comparable quarter of
1998. Revenues consisted of software licenses and consulting, maintenance and
other services, which represented 29% and 71%, respectively, of total revenues
during the three months ended June 30, 1999, and 35% and 65%, respectively in
the comparable quarter of 1998.

    Software Licenses. Software license revenues for the three months ended June
30, 1999 were $10.7 million, a decrease of 13% from the $12.3 million reported
in the comparable quarter of 1998. Domestic software license revenues decreased
66% between the comparable quarters, offset in part by a 95% increase in
international software license revenues. The international software license
results include increases in each of the EMEA (46%) and Asia/Pacific (149%)
regions, and $1.8 million in license revenues from the Latin America region
versus none in the prior year quarter. Enterprise Systems and In-Store Systems
software license revenues decreased 37% and 47%, respectively between quarters.
Analytic Applications software license revenues increased 80% between quarters
primarily as a result of additional software license revenues from the Arthur
Retail Business Unit that was acquired by the Company in June 1998. While the
Company believes its software license pipeline for the second half of 1999 is
somewhat stronger than the first half of 1999, management remains very cautious
about the possibility of a lock-down on all new major capital expenditures by
retailers as the millenium change nears.

    Consulting, Maintenance and Other Services. Consulting, maintenance and
other services revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1999 were $26.5
million, an increase of 13% over the $23.4 million reported in the comparable
quarter of 1998. This increase results primarily from the additional consulting
and maintenance revenues related to the Arthur Retail Business Unit. Domestic
consulting, maintenance and other services revenues increased 32% between the
comparable quarters, offset in part by a 4% decrease in international
consulting, maintenance and other services revenues. The Company anticipates
that consulting, maintenance and other services revenues will continue at the
current run rate during the remainder of 1999. In response to the decreased
demand for new software licenses, the Company is focusing on the replacement of
implementation and other service revenues associated with new software sales,
with sales of new and expanded services to its existing customer base. These
services include a global 24-hour customer support service centralized in the
Company's corporate office and an optimum service offering for point-of-sale
customers.

Cost of Revenues

    Cost of software license revenues was $529,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 as compared to $603,000 in the comparable quarter of 1998. Cost of
software licenses represented 5% of software license revenues in each of these
periods. Consulting, maintenance and other services costs for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 were $17.4 million, an increase of 8% over the $16.0 million
reported in the comparable quarter of 1998. The consulting, maintenance and
other services organization increased by 6% between periods, and as of June 30,
1999, there were 652 employees involved in these functions worldwide. The
Company expects only modest growth, if any, in the overall size of its services
organization over the remaining quarters of 1999.

Gross Profit

    Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $19.3 million, an
increase of 1% over the $19.0 million reported in the comparable quarter of
1998. Gross profit, as a percentage of total revenues, decreased from 53% to 52%
between the comparable quarters. This decrease is attributable to the higher mix
of consulting, maintenance and other services revenues as a percentage of total
revenues during the three months ended June 30,



                                       14
<PAGE>   15
1999. The Company's service margins increased between the comparable quarters
from 31% to 35%. This improvement reflects the favorable impact of increases in
the Company's maintenance base, both from the Arthur Retail acquisition and core
JDA products, higher average billing rates in the Company's consulting practice,
and the elimination of outside contractors in Europe.

    The Company anticipates that service margins will be lower during the
remaining quarters of 1999 as two new programs will be implemented. The first
involves the centralization of post implementation support services to provide
24-hour global support from the Company's corporate offices. During the
transition period the Company will incur certain redundant costs. Second, in
response to the rapid growth of the services organization over the past two
years, the Company plans to make a renewed investment in the training of its
associates by requiring successful completion of certification programs for each
product line. Although this program will result in slightly lower utilization
rates during the remaining quarters of 1999, the Company anticipates that the
initiative will enable it to achieve improved margins in the future.

Operating Expenses

    Product Development. Product development expenses for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 were $6.2 million, an increase of 30% over the $4.8 million
reported in the comparable quarter of 1998. Product development expenses as a
percentage of total revenues increased between the comparable quarters from 13%
to 17%. This increase results primarily from development activities associated
with new product initiatives including Active DSS, the next versions of the
Arthur Suite, the MMS.com e-commerce strategy, and experimental work with the
Microsoft sequel server 7.0 engine. In addition, the Company continues to focus
on the feature, functionality and stability of all its product lines including
ODBMS and Win/DSS. The Company increased its product development staff by 9%
between the comparable quarters and as of June 30, 1999, there were 203
employees involved in the product development function. The Company expects
product development expenses for 1999 to be between $25.0 million and $30.0
million. The development efforts will focus on enhancements to existing products
that address product quality and the requirements for utilization with emerging
standard operating platforms such as Microsoft's ActiveStore initiative,
increased systems interoperability, international issues such as the adoption of
the Euro, and continued enhancement of the MMS.com product and other intranet,
extranet and Internet business solutions that integrate industry standard
e-commerce software into current and future e-commerce products. The Company
believes its current process for developing software is essentially completed
concurrent with the establishment of technological feasibility, and accordingly,
no costs have been capitalized. The Company anticipates product development
expenses will increase sequentially in each of the remaining quarters of 1999.

    Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 were $6.4 million, an increase of 39% over the $4.6 million
reported in the comparable quarter of 1998. Sales and marketing expenses, as a
percentage of total revenues, increased between the comparable quarters from 13%
to 17%. The Company's worldwide sales and marketing staff was static between the
comparable quarters and as of June 30, 1999, there were 105 employees involved
in this function. The Company will continue to realign its sales force to match
the demands within product lines and geographic region, and anticipates only
modest sequential expansion of its worldwide sales and marketing staff in each
of the remaining quarters of 1999.

    General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 were $5.2 million, an increase of 61% over the
$3.3 million reported in the comparable quarter of 1998. General and
administrative expense, as a percentage of total revenues, increased between the
comparable quarters from 9% to 14%. The increase results from additional
administrative personnel in the Company's domestic and international operations,
depreciation on purchases of property and equipment related to the Company's
expansion, and the incremental costs of Arthur Retail Business Unit. In
addition, general and administrative expenses increased $1.1 million
sequentially over the first quarter of 1999 as a result of two events: (1)
Duplicate rent and other non-recurring charges of approximately $400,000 related
to the consolidation and relocation of the Company's corporate offices, and (2)
a $700,000 increase in the bad debt provision associated with two large domestic
bankruptcies. The Company anticipates that its quarterly general and
administrative expenses will return to first quarter 1999 levels for the
remainder of 1999.

    Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of intangibles consists primarily
of amortization on goodwill and other intangibles recorded in connection with
the acquisition of Arthur Retail Business Unit in June 1998.

Provision for Income Taxes

    The Company's effective income tax rate reflects statutory federal, state
and foreign tax rates, partially offset by reductions for research and
development expense tax credits. From time to time, the Company may be subject
to audit by federal, state and/or foreign taxing authorities. The Company is
currently undergoing an audit of its fiscal 1996 and 1997 Federal Income Tax
Returns. The Company has received preliminary correspondence from the Internal
Revenue Service challenging the determination of the Company's 1996 and 1997
research and development expense tax credits. A final report on the audit has
not yet been issued, and accordingly, management is unable to determine the
impact of the audit at this time.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

Revenues

    Total revenues for six months ended June 30, 1999 were $72.4 million, an
increase of 9% over the $66.6 million reported in the comparable period of 1998.
Revenues consisted of software licenses and consulting, maintenance and other
services, which represented 25% and 75%, respectively, of total revenues during
the six months ended June 30, 1999, and 37% and 63%, respectively in the
comparable period of 1998.

    Software Licenses. Software license revenues for the six months ended June
30, 1999 were $18.1 million, a decrease of 26% from the $24.4 million reported
in the comparable period of 1998. Domestic software license revenues decreased
59% between the comparable periods, offset in part by a 31% increase in
international software license revenues. The international software license
results include increases in each of the EMEA (20%) Asia/Pacific (90%) and Latin
America (326%) regions. Enterprise Systems and In-Store Systems software license
revenues decreased 51% and 49%, respectively between periods. Analytic
Applications software license revenues increased 112% between periods primarily
as a result of additional software license revenues from the Arthure Retail
Business Unit that was acquired by the Company in June 1998.

    Consulting, Maintenance and Other Services. Consulting, maintenance and
other services revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $54.3
million, an increase of 29% over the $42.2 million reported in the comparable
period of 1998. Although the Company experienced increases in service revenues
from each product line, the overall increase results primarily from the
additional consulting and maintenance revenues related to the Arthur Retail
Business Unit. Domestic and international consulting, maintenance and other
services revenues increased 49% and 9%, respectively, between the comparable
periods.

Cost of Revenues

    Cost of software license revenues was $1.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 compared to $1.1 million in the comparable period of 1998. Cost of
software licenses represented 6% and 5% of software license revenues in the
respective periods. The higher cost in the six-month period ended June 30,
1999 resulted from the Company's increased sales of products that incorporate
software technology licensed from third party suppliers. Consulting, maintenance
and other services costs for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $35.7
million, an increase of 19% over the $29.9 million reported in the comparable
period of 1998. The consulting, maintenance and other services organization
increased by 6% between periods, and as of June 30, 1999, there were 652
employees involved in these functions worldwide.

Gross Profit

    Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $35.7 million, an
increase of less than 1% over the $35.6 million reported in the comparable
period of 1998. Gross profit, as a percentage of total revenues, decreased from
53% to 49% between the comparable periods. This decrease is attributable to the
higher mix of consulting, maintenance and other services revenues as a
percentage of total revenues during the six months ended June 30, 1999. The
Company's service margins increased between the comparable periods from 29% to
34%. This improvement reflects the favorable impact of increases in the
Company's maintenance base, both from the Arthur Retail acquisition and core JDA
products, higher average billing rates in the Company's consulting practice, and
the elimination of outside contractors in Europe.

Operating Expenses

    Product Development. Product development expenses for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 were $11.8 million, an increase of 31% over the $9.0 million
reported in the comparable period of 1998. Product development expenses as a
percentage of total revenues increased between the comparable periods from 14%
to 16%. This increase results primarily from development activities associated
with new product initiatives including Active DSS, the next versions of the
Arthur Suite, MMS.com, and experimental work with the Microsoft sequel server
7.0 engine.

    Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 were $12.9 million, an increase of 52% over the $8.5 million
reported in the comparable period of 1998. Sales and marketing expenses, as a
percentage of total revenues, increased between the comparable periods from 13%
to 18%.

    General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 were $9.3 million, an increase of 48% over the $6.3
million reported in the comparable period of 1998. General and administrative
expense, as a percentage of total revenues, increased between the comparable
periods from 9% to 13%. This increase results from additional administrative
personnel in the Company's domestic and international operations, depreciation
on purchases of property and equipment related to the Company's expansion, and
the incremental costs of Arthur Retail Business Unit. In addition, general and
administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1999 include $1.1
million in expenses resulting from two events: (1) Duplicate rent and other
non-recurring charges of approximately $400,000 related to the consolidation and
relocation of the Company's corporate offices, and (2) a $700,000 increase in
the bad debt provision associated with two large domestic bankruptcies.

    Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of intangibles consists primarily
of amortization on goodwill and other intangibles recorded in connection with
the acquisition of Arthur Retail Business Unit in June 1998.

    Restructuring and Asset Disposition Charge. The Company recorded a $2.1
million restructuring and asset disposition charge during the first quarter of
1999. The restructuring initiatives involved a workforce reduction of over 50
full-time employees in the United States and Europe ($1.4 million), the closure
of three unprofitable locations in Germany, France and South Africa ($226,000),
the disposal of property and equipment related to the closure of these locations
and the consolidation of the Company's corporate operations into one facility
($507,000), and the release of over 80 subcontractors worldwide. All workforce
reductions were made on or before March 31, 1999.

Provision for Income Taxes

    The Company's effective income tax rate reflects statutory federal, state
and foreign tax rates, partially offset by reductions for research and
development expense tax credits. From time to time, the Company may be subject
to audit by federal, state and/or foreign taxing authorities. The Company is
currently undergoing an audit of its fiscal 1996 and 1997 Federal Income Tax
Returns. The Company has received preliminary correspondence from the Internal
Revenue Service challenging the determination of the Company's 1996 and 1997
research and development expense tax credits. A final report on the audit has
not yet been issued, and accordingly, management is unable to determine the
impact of the audit at this time.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Since its inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily
through cash generated from operations, public sales of equity securities and,
to a lesser extent, borrowings under its bank line of credit. The Company had
working capital of $94.0 million at June 30, 1999 compared with $98.3 million at
December 31, 1998. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1999 were $31.7
million, a decrease of $10.7 million from the $42.4 million reported at December
31, 1998. The Company also had $52.5 million in marketable securities at June
30, 1999, an increase of $9.5 million from the $43.0 million reported at
December 31, 1998.

    Operating activities provided cash of $3.0 and $3.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Cash provided from operating
activities during the six months ended June 30, 1999 resulted primarily



                                       17
<PAGE>   18
from $5.9 million of depreciation and amortization and $2.0 million in provision
for doubtful accounts, offset in part by a $1.2 million increase in accounts
receivable and a $2.5 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Cash provided from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1998
resulted primarily from net income of $7.9 million, excluding the one-time
charge for purchased in-process research and development and related tax
benefit, $2.4 million of depreciation and amortization, a $2.7 increase in
income taxes payable and a $2.7 million increase in deferred revenue, offset in
part by a $9.9 million increase in accounts receivable and a $4.1 increase in
prepaid expenses and other current assets. The Company had net accounts
receivable of $39.8 million, or 97 days sales outstanding ("DSOs") at June 30,
1999, compared to $40.6 million, or 113 DSOs at December 31, 1998. DSOs may
fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis due to a number of factors
including seasonality, shifts in customer buying patterns, contractual payment
terms, the underlying mix of products and services, and the geographic
concentration of revenues.

    Investing activities utilized cash of $14.9 million and $67.5 million in the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The 1999 activity
includes the net purchase of $9.5 million of marketable securities and $6.6
million in capital expenditures which includes over $3.6 million related to the
Company's corporate office relocation. The 1998 activity includes the net
purchase of $16.0 million of marketable securities, $7.5 million in capital
expenditures, and a $44.0 million cash payment for the acquisition of the Arthur
Retail Business Unit.

    Financing activities provided cash of $1.9 million and $106.0 million during
the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The activity in both
periods includes proceeds from the issuance of common stock and related tax
benefits under the Company's stock option and employee stock purchase plans. In
addition, the 1998 activity includes net proceeds of $99.6 million from the
issuance of 3,450,000 shares of common stock in a secondary public offering.

    Changes in the currency exchange rates of the Company's foreign operations
had the effect of reducing cash by $712,000 and $224,000 in the six months ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company did not enter into any foreign
exchange contracts or engage in similar hedging strategies during either of
periods.

    The Company maintains a $5.0 million revolving line of credit with a
commercial bank. The line of credit is collateralized by property and equipment,
receivables, and intangibles; accrues interest at the bank's reference rate
(which approximates prime) less .25 percentage points; and requires the Company
to maintain certain current ratios and tangible net worth. The line of credit
matures on July 1, 2000. There were no amounts outstanding on the line of credit
at June 30, 1999. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents,
investments in marketable securities, available borrowings under the bank line
of credit and funds generated from operations will provide adequate liquidity to
meet the Company's normal operating requirements for at least the next twelve
months.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

    The Company has designated a continuing project team to assess the Year 2000
compliance of its software products. Based on the Company's assessment to date,
the Company believes the current versions of its software products are "Year
2000 compliant," that is, they are capable of adequately distinguishing 21st
century dates from 20th century dates. However, the Company is aware that some
of its customers are running earlier versions of the Company's software products
that are not Year 2000 compliant. The Company has contacted and encouraged such
customers to migrate to current product versions. Moreover, the Company's
products are generally integrated into enterprise systems involving complicated
software products developed by other vendors. The most reasonably likely worst
case scenario is that the Company may in the future be subject to claims based
on Year 2000 problems in others' products, custom modifications made by third
parties to the Company's products, or issues arising from the integration of
multiple products within an overall system. The Company has not been a party to
any litigation or arbitration proceeding to date involving its products or
services as related to Year 2000 compliance issues. However, the Company from
time to time is involved in payment disputes and may be subject to Year 2000
counter claims. There can be no assurance that the Company will not in the
future be required to defend its products or services in such proceedings, or to
negotiate resolutions of claims based upon Year 2000 issues. The costs of
defending and resolving Year 2000-related disputes, and any liability of the
Company for Year 2000-related damages, including consequential damages, could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition.



                                       18
<PAGE>   19
    The Company faces risk to the extent that suppliers of products, services
and systems purchased by the Company and others with whom the Company transacts
business on a worldwide basis do not comply with Year 2000 requirements. In the
event any such third parties cannot provide the Company with products, services
or systems that meet the Year 2000 requirements on a timely basis, or in the
event Year 2000 issues prevent such third parties from timely delivery of
products or services required by the Company, the Company's operating results
could be materially adversely affected. The Company's plan for the Year 2000 has
included compliance verification of financial institutions, investment advisors,
independent payroll service providers, external vendors supplying software and
information systems to the Company and communication with significant suppliers
to determine the readiness of third parties' remediation of their own Year 2000
issues. As part of its Year 2000 contingency plan, the Company maintains its
cash and marketable securities with multiple financial institutions and
investment advisors.

    The Company is also subject to risk that the purchasing patterns of
customers and potential customers may be affected by Year 2000 issues as
companies expend significant resources and reduce available funds in order to
correct or patch their current software systems for Year 2000 compliance. As a
result, no assurance can be given that Year 2000 problems within the Company's
existing or prospective customer base of retail organizations will not result in
the deferral or cancellation of such organizations' decisions to license and
implement information systems such as those offered by the Company. To the
extent Year 2000 issues cause significant delays in, or cancellation of,
decisions to purchase the Company's products or services, the Company's
business, operating results and financial condition would be materially
adversely affected. The Company believes that reduced year over year demand may
be partially attributable to Year 2000 issues. The Company's ability to deliver
consulting services depends in part on the mobility of its consulting services
personnel. To the extent that the domestic or international travel
infrastructure is significantly affected by the century change, the Company's
ability to deliver consulting services would be affected and the Company's
business and operating results could be adversely impacted.

    The Company recognizes the need to ensure its internal operations will not
be adversely impacted by Year 2000 software failures, and has established a
project team to assess Year 2000 risks regarding the ability of the Company's
internal systems to operate after December 31, 1999. The project team has
identified and continues to implement changes to the Company's computer hardware
and software applications to ensure availability and integrity of the Company's
financial systems and the reliability of its operational systems. The Company
converted its existing legacy accounting software to a Year 2000 compliant
version in December 1998. This conversion was performed entirely by the
Company's internal IS staff and the costs of modifying this software have been
expensed as incurred. During September 1998, the Company selected a new time and
billing system from an independent third party distributor. This system will
replace an existing legacy system and will be used to accumulate and track
billable hours incurred by the Company's consulting and customer support staff.
The current project plan calls for this system to be fully implemented by June
2000. Accordingly, as part of its contingency plan, the Company has modified its
existing time and billing system to be Year 2000 compliant. The conversion of
the existing time and billing system was completed in April 1999. The Company
has incurred approximately $50,000 to date on Year 2000 compliance activities
and expects to incur no more than $40,000 to complete its Year 2000 compliance
activities. These costs and the timing in which the Company plans to complete
its Year 2000 modification and testing procedures are based on management's best
estimates. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will timely
identify and remediate all significant Year 2000 problems, or that any such
remedial efforts will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, operating results and financial condition.

EURO CURRENCY

    The participating member countries of the European Union agreed to adopt the
Euro as the common legal currency beginning January 1, 1999. On that same date
they established Fixed Conversion Rates between their existing sovereign
currencies and the Euro. The Euro will be implemented in phases over a
transition period that extends through December 31, 2001. Although the Company's
products currently comply with the requirements of the initial phase-in of the
Euro, they are not fully "Euro Compliant." The Company has defined Euro
Compliant to mean that its products are capable of processing and reporting any
data denominated in the Euro in the same manner as processing and reporting data
denominated in the national currency units that comprise the currencies of those
member states that adopt the Euro (the "NCUs") without any loss of functionality
or interoperability or degradation in performance of volume capacity and,
without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, has the ability to provide
all the following functions:


                                       19
<PAGE>   20
    (1) Conversion of NCUs to Euro (and vice versa) at the Fixed Conversion
        Rates and conversion of NCUs to NCUs using the Fixed Conversion Rates
        between the relevant NCUs and the Euro and, in each case, rounding of
        such amounts in accordance with applicable laws and regulations from
        time to time.

    (2) Rounding of amounts denominated in Euro to the nearest "Euro cent" and
        of amounts denominated in NCUs to the nearest sub-unit applicable to the
        relevant NCUs and use in data of the Euro symbol.

    (3) Making and receiving payment of amounts denominated in Euro and in
        different denominations of the Euro and/or in NCUs.

    (4) All functions and reporting, including regulatory reporting, in both
        Euro and NCUs.

    The Company is incorporating all required Euro Compliant functionality into
the next versions of each of its products that are scheduled for commercial
release at various times during 1999. To the extent the development and release
of fully Euro Compliant versions does not occur in a timely manner, the Company
could experience significant delays in, or cancellation of, decisions to
purchase its products or services, and as a result, the Company's business,
operating results and financial condition would be materially adversely
impacted.

CERTAIN RISKS

    Our Operating Results May Fluctuate Significantly. Our quarterly operating
results have varied and are expected to continue to vary in the future. Many
factors may cause these fluctuations, including: demand for our products and
services; the size and timing of individual orders, particularly with respect to
our larger customers; the lengthening of our sales cycle; competitive pricing
pressures; customer order deferrals in anticipation of new products; changes in
the mix of software license revenues; changes in the mix of software license
revenues compared to consulting, maintenance and other services revenues; the
timing of introductions and enhancements of our products or those of our
competitors; market acceptance of new products; technological changes in
platforms supporting our products; changes in our operating expenses; changes in
the mix of domestic and international revenues; our ability to complete fixed
price consulting contracts within budget; employee hiring and retention; foreign
currency exchange rate fluctuations; expansion of international operations;
changes in our strategies; and general industry and economic conditions. In
addition, we believe we have experienced and are continuing to experience a
decline in overall demand for our Enterprise Systems and In-Store Systems. In
particular, sales of our ODBMS product have failed to meet our expectations. We
believe that sales of ODBMS have been affected by a significant drop-off in
demand related to the millenium change, external and internal marketing issues,
increased competition, a limited number of referenceable implementations, and
certain design and stability issues in earlier versions of the ODBMS product.


    We have not been able to determine the exact cause of the decline in demand
for our other products, but we believe that it may result from deferred
purchasing decisions. These deferred purchasing decisions may stem from
uncertainty related to the millenium change, longer sales cycles, continued
weakness in global economies and increased competition. We believe that the
prevailing business reasons for purchasing merchandising systems and the other
software products offered by the Company still exist. However, you should not
rely on historic growth rates for our Enterprise Systems and In-Store Systems as
an indication of their future performance. Because the gross margin on software
licenses is significantly greater than the gross margins on consulting,
maintenance and other services, our combined gross margin has fluctuated from
quarter to quarter, and we expect that it will continue to fluctuate
significantly based on revenue mix and seasonality.

    We typically ship our software products when contracts are signed.
Consequently, our software license backlog at the beginning of any quarter has
represented only a small portion of that quarter's expected revenues. As a
result, software license revenues in any quarter depend in large part upon
contracts signed and the related shipment of



                                       20
<PAGE>   21
software in that quarter. It is therefore difficult for us to predict revenues.
Because of the timing of our sales, we typically recognize a substantial amount
of our revenues in the last weeks or days of the quarter, and we generally
derive a significant portion of our quarterly software license revenues from a
small number of relatively large sales. It is difficult to forecast the timing
of large individual sales with certainty. Accordingly, large individual sales
have sometimes occurred in quarters subsequent to when we anticipated. We expect
that the foregoing trends will continue. If we receive any significant
cancellation or deferral of customer orders, or we are unable to conclude
license negotiations by the end of a fiscal quarter, our operating results may
be lower than anticipated. In addition, any weakening or uncertainty in
international economies may make it more difficult for us to predict quarterly
results in the future, and could negatively impact our business, operating
results and financial condition for an indefinite period of time.

    Our expense levels are based on our expectations of future revenues. Since
software license sales are typically accompanied by a significant amount of
consulting, implementation and support services, our consulting and support
resources must be managed to meet our anticipated software license revenues. As
a result, we hire and train service personnel and incur research and development
costs in advance of anticipated software license revenues. If such revenues fall
short of our expectations, or if we are unable to fully utilize our service
personnel, our operating results are likely to decline because a significant
portion of our expenses cannot be quickly reduced to respond to any unexpected
revenue shortfall.

    Based on all of the foregoing, we believe that future revenues, expenses and
operating results are likely to vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter. As a
result, quarter-to-quarter comparisons of operating results are not necessarily
meaningful. Furthermore, it is likely that in some future quarter our operating
results may be below the expectations of public market analysts or investors. If
that happens, or if adverse conditions prevail, or are perceived to prevail,
with respect to our business or generally, the price of our common stock may
decline.

    A Significant Portion of Our Revenue Is Derived from the Retail Industry. We
have derived substantially all of our revenues to date from the license of
software products and the performance of related services to the retail
industry. Our future growth is critically dependent on increased sales to the
retail industry. The success of our customers is directly linked to economic
conditions in the retail industry, which in turn are subject to intense
competitive pressures and are affected by overall economic conditions. In
addition, we believe that the license of our software products generally
involves a large capital expenditure, which is often accompanied by large-scale
hardware purchases or commitments. As a result, demand for our products and
services could decline in the event of instability or downturns in the retail
industry. Such downturns may cause customers to exit the industry or delay,
cancel or reduce any planned expenditure for information management systems and
software products. In addition, the Internet is dramatically impacting the
retail industry. The traditional retailers that we serve now often face
substantial competition from Internet-based retailers that may negatively impact
their ability to purchase our products. Moreover, our one product that is
targeted primarily to meet the needs of Internet-based business, MMS.com, was
only recently announced and has not yet been installed at a customer location.
Our ability to sell our products to traditional retailers attempting to add
Internet business, or to sell our products to Internet-only retailers may be
negatively impacted if our current or future Internet-based products do not keep
pace with technological change or achieve market acceptance. Finally, we believe
that the retail industry may be consolidating. Such consolidation has in the
past and may in the future reduce the demand for our products. Any resulting
decline in demand for our products and services would negatively impact our
business, operating results and financial condition.

    We May Not be Able to Manage Our Growth. Our business has grown rapidly in
recent years, with revenues increasing from $47.8 million in 1996, to $91.8
million in 1997 and to $138.5 million in 1998. Our expansion resulted in
substantial growth in our number of employees, the scope of our operating
systems and the geographic distribution of our operations and customers during
these periods. The rapid growth placed, and continues to place, a significant
strain on our management and operations. Our ability to compete effectively and
to manage future growth, if any, will depend on our ability to continue to
implement and improve operational, financial and management information systems
on a timely basis; to expand, train, motivate and manage our work force, in
particular our direct sales force and consulting services organization; and to
deal effectively with third-party systems integrators and consultants. We
reorganized our senior management in January 1999 by business units (Enterprise
Systems, In-store Systems and Analytic Applications) and implemented a matrix
organization that provides each of our geographic regions (the United States,
EMEA, Asia/Pacific, Canada and Latin America) with full responsibility



                                       21
<PAGE>   22
for direct sales, consulting services and operations. All management positions
within this new organizational structure were filled as of March 31, 1999
including promotions from within the Company to fill the open positions of Vice
President - EMEA, Senior Vice President - Client Services, Senior Vice President
- - Technology, and the newly created position of Senior Vice President -
Marketing. All members of the executive management team have served in their
current positions for less than two years. Our future growth and success depends
in large part upon the ability of our executive management team to effectively
manage expansion of our operations. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to
manage our recent or any future growth, and any failure to do so would
negatively effect our business, operating results and financial condition.

    If we resume our historical growth levels, we will have to recruit and hire
a substantial number of other new employees, including consulting and product
development personnel, both domestically and abroad. Our ability to undertake
new projects and increase revenues is substantially dependent on the
availability of consulting personnel to assist in the design, planning and
implementation of our products and services. Consequently, we would not be able
to grow our business at historical rates without adding significant numbers of
trained consulting personnel. Moreover, if unable to adequately increase our
consulting capacity, we would have to forego licensing opportunities or become
more dependent on systems integrators and professional consulting firms to
provide implementation services for our products. Due to the present uncertainty
surrounding demand for our Enterprise Systems and In-Store Systems and recent
declines in our software license revenues, we expect that consulting,
maintenance and other services revenues may continue to increase as a percentage
of total revenues. However, we expect only modest growth, if any, in the size of
our services organization during 1999. Since a significant portion of our
consulting, maintenance and other services revenues are derived from the
implementation of our software products, any further decline in demand for our
software products or if our software revenues do not fully return to historical
levels, would cause our consulting, maintenance and other services revenues to
decline. If revenues fail to meet expectations following the hiring and training
of new personnel, our operating results will decline. Due to the addition of
significant numbers of new personnel, we have from time to time incurred
significant start-up expenses, including leasing of office space and equipment,
initial training costs and low utilization rates of new personnel. Such start-up
expenses have in the past contributed and may in the future contribute to
significant reductions in gross margin on consulting, maintenance and other
services revenues and on overall gross margin. We cannot guarantee that start-up
expenses incurred in connection with the hiring of additional technical
personnel will not reduce future operating results.

    Ability to Attract and Retain Technical Personnel Is Important to Our
Growth. Our success is heavily dependent upon our ability to attract, retain and
motivate skilled technical and managerial personnel, especially highly skilled
engineers involved in ongoing product development, and consulting personnel who
assist in the design, planning and implementation of our products and services.
In particular, our ability to install, maintain and enhance our products is
substantially dependent upon our ability to locate, hire, train and retain
qualified software engineers. The market for such individuals is intensely
competitive, particularly in international markets. In this regard, we
dramatically increased the number of consulting personnel during 1997 and 1998
in connection with the continuing development and roll-out of our client/server
products, and to support further development and implementation of MMS. Given
the critical roles of our product development and consulting staffs, our
inability to recruit successfully or the loss of our product development or
consulting staffs would hurt us. The software industry is characterized by a
high level of employee mobility and aggressive recruiting of skilled personnel.
We cannot guarantee that we will be able to retain our current personnel, or
that we will be able to attract and retain other highly qualified technical and
managerial personnel in the future. Our inability to attract and retain the
necessary technical and managerial personnel would hurt our business, operating
results and financial condition.

    We Have Only Deployed Our New Software Products On a Limited Basis. Our
newer software products, ODBMS, Win/DSS, Retail IDEAS, WCC, and the Arthur
Suite, which are designed for open, client/server environments, have all been
commercially released within the last three years. To date, only a limited
number of customers have licensed or implemented them. The market for these
products is new and evolving, and we believe that retailers may be more cautious
than other businesses in adopting client/server technologies. Consequently, we
cannot predict the growth rate, if any, and size of the market for our
client/server products or that this market will continue to develop. Potential
and existing customers may find it difficult, or be unable, to successfully
implement our client/server products, or may not purchase our products for a
variety of reasons, including: their inability to obtain hardware, software,
networking infrastructure, or sufficient internal staff required to implement,
operate and maintain an open, client/server solution; the generally longer time
periods and greater cost required to implement



                                       22
<PAGE>   23
such products as compared to IBM AS/400-based products; and limited
implementation experience with such products or third-party implementation
providers. In addition, we must overcome significant obstacles to successfully
market our client/server products, including limited experience of our sales and
consulting personnel in the client/server market and a limited market size.

   Sales of our ODBMS product have failed to meet our expectations. We believe
that sales of ODBMS have been affected by a significant drop-off in demand
related to the millenium change, external and internal marketing issues,
increased competition, a limited number of referenceable implementations, and
certain design and stability issues in earlier versions of the ODBMS product. If
the market for our client/server products fails to develop, develops more slowly
than expected or becomes saturated with competitors, or if our products are not
accepted in the marketplace, our business, operating results and financial
condition will decline.

   Our Products Are Concentrated In One Area. We have historically derived a
significant portion of our revenues from software licenses and consulting,
maintenance and other services related to MMS. MMS revenues are partially
dependent on the continued vitality in and support by IBM of its AS/400
platform. Although we expect MMS revenues to continue to represent a significant
portion of total revenues for the foreseeable future, MMS revenues as a
percentage of total revenues may continue to decline as a result of reduced
demand for MMS and/or increased revenues attributable to the Company's other
product lines. The lifecycle of the MMS product line is difficult to estimate
due largely to the potential effect of new products, applications and product
enhancements, including our own changes in the retail industry and future
competition. Any decline in MMS revenues, as a result of competition,
technological change, a decline in the market for or support of the IBM AS/400
platform, or other factors, which are not offset by increases in revenues from
other products, will cause our business, operating results and financial
condition to decline. We cannot guarantee that prospective purchasers of our IBM
AS/400-based products will respond favorably to our future or enhanced software
products or that we will continue to be successful in selling our software
products or services in the IBM AS/400 market.

   There Are Many Risks Associated with International Operations. Our
international revenues represented 49% of total revenues in the six months ended
June 30, 1999 as compared with 45% and 55% of total revenues in fiscal 1998 and
1997, respectively. Although, we expect that international revenues will
continue to account for a significant portion of our revenues for the
foreseeable future, we remain cautious about our expectations regarding
international operations in the near term. If our international operations grow,
we must recruit and hire a number of new consulting, sales and marketing and
support personnel in the countries we have or will establish offices. Our entry
into new international markets typically requires the establishment of new
marketing and distribution channels as well as the development and subsequent
support of localized versions of our software. International introductions of
the Company's products often require a significant investment in advance of
anticipated future revenues. The opening of our new offices typically results in
initial recruiting and training expenses and reduced labor efficiencies
associated with the introduction of products to a new market. We cannot
guarantee that the countries in which we operate will have a sufficient pool of
qualified personnel from which to hire, or that we will be successful at hiring,
training or retaining such personnel. In addition, we cannot assure you that we
will be able to successfully expand our international operations in a timely
manner which could negatively impact our business, operating results and
financial condition.

   Our international business operations are subject to risks associated with
international activities, including unexpected changes in regulatory
requirements, tariffs and other trade barriers, costs and risks of localizing
products for foreign countries, longer accounts receivable payment cycles in
certain countries, potentially negative tax consequences, difficulties in
staffing and managing geographically disparate operations, greater difficulty in
safeguarding intellectual property, licensing and other trade restrictions,
currency fluctuations, repatriation of earnings, the burdens of complying with a
wide variety of foreign laws, and general economic conditions in international
markets. In addition, consulting, maintenance and other services in support of
international software licenses typically have lower gross margins than those
achieved domestically due to generally lower billing rates



                                       23
<PAGE>   24
and/or higher costs in certain of our international markets. Accordingly, any
significant growth in our international operations may result in further
declines in gross margins on consulting, maintenance and other services. We
expect that an increasing portion of our international software license and
consulting, maintenance and other services revenues will be denominated in
foreign currencies, subjecting us to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates. As we continue to expand our international operations, exposures to gains
and losses on foreign currency transactions may increase. We may choose to limit
such exposure by entering into forward foreign exchange contracts or engaging in
similar hedging strategies. We cannot guarantee that any currency exchange
strategy would be successful in avoiding exchange-related losses. In addition,
revenues earned in various countries where we do business may be subject to
taxation by more than one jurisdiction, which would reduce our earnings.

    Unstable economic conditions, devaluation of currencies and slowing payment
trends continue to effect the collection of receivables in the Asia/Pacific,
EMEA and Latin America regions. The mix of past due receivables has improved
during the six months ended June 30, 1999 as a result of increased new software
license sales activity; however, the total amount of past due balances has
increased 5% since December 31, 1998. The Asia/Pacific, EMEA and Latin America
regions represented 7%, 29%, and 6%, respectively, of our revenues during the
six months ended June 30, 1999. To the extent economic conditions in other
geographic locations are adversely affected, our business, operating results and
financial condition would decline.

    Our Markets Are Highly Competitive. The markets for retail information
systems are highly competitive. We believe the principal competitive factors in
such markets are product quality, reliability, performance and price, vendor and
product reputation, retail industry expertise, financial stability, features and
functions, ease of use and quality of support. A number of companies offer
competitive products addressing certain of our target markets. In the Enterprise
Systems market, for example, we compete with internally developed systems and
with third-party developers such as GERS Retail Systems, Island Pacific (a
subsidiary of SVI Holdings, Inc.), Radius PLC, Retek (a subsidiary of HNC
Software, Inc.), Richter Management Services, SAP AG, and STS Systems. Our WCC
product competes with warehouse and logistic systems from Catalyst
International, Inc., EXE and McHugh Freeman. In addition, new market entrants
may offer fully integrated merchandising level systems targeting the retail
industry.

    In the In-Store Systems market, which is more fragmented than the Enterprise
Systems market, we compete with major hardware equipment manufacturers such as
ICL, NCR and IBM, as well as software companies such as CRS Business Computers,
Datavantage, Inc., Riva Group PLC, STS Systems, and Trimax. In the Analytic
Application markets, the Arthur Suite competes with products from STS Systems
and Mitech Computer Systems, Inc., and IBM's Makaro product line. The Retail
IDEAS product competes with products from vendors such as Microstrategy and
Intrepid. In the market for consulting services, we are pursuing a strategy of
forming informal working relationships with leading retail systems integrators
such as Andersen Consulting and PriceWaterhouseCoopers. These integrators, as
well as independent consulting firms such as IBM's Global Services Division,
also represent potential competition to our consulting services group.

    Some of our existing competitors, as well as a number of potential new
competitors, have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and
other resources than we do, which could provide them with a significant
competitive advantage over us. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to
compete successfully against our current or future competitors or that
competition will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating
results and financial condition.

    There are Risks Associated with Our Strategic Relationships. We have from
time to time established, or attempted to establish, formal and informal
relationships with other companies, including Baan, IBM, Microsoft and Silvon,
Inc., to collaborate in areas such as product development, marketing and
distribution. The maintenance of these relationships and the development of
other similar relationships is a meaningful part of our business strategy.
Currently, our relationships with IBM and Microsoft are cooperative, and there
is no written agreement defining the parties' obligations. We cannot assure you
that our current informal relationships with IBM, Microsoft or other companies
will be beneficial to us, that such relationships can be maintained, or that we
will be able to enter into successful new strategic relationships in the future.

    Implementation of Our Products Is A Lengthy Process; Our Fixed-Price Service
Contracts May Result In Losses. Our software products are complex and perform or
directly affect mission-critical functions across many different functional and
geographic areas of the enterprise. Consequently, implementation of our software
is a



                                       24
<PAGE>   25
complex, lengthy process and commitment of resources by our customers is subject
to a number of significant risks over which we have little or no control. We
believe that the complicated nature and increased flexibility of the
client/server versions of our products may contribute to the length of the
implementation process. Delays in the implementations of any of our software
products, whether by us or our business partners, may result in customer
dissatisfaction or damage to our reputation and a decline in our business,
operating results and financial condition.

    We offer a combination of software products, implementation and support
services to our customers. Typically, we enter into service agreements with our
customers that provide for consulting and implementation services on a "time and
expenses" basis. Certain customers have asked for, and we have from time to time
entered into, fixed-price service contracts. These contracts specify certain
milestones to be met regardless of our actual costs incurred in fulfilling our
obligations. We believe that fixed-price service contracts may increasingly be
offered by our competitors to differentiate their product and service offerings.
As a result, we may enter into more fixed-price contracts in the future. We
cannot guarantee we can successfully complete these contracts on budget, and our
inability to do so could negatively impact our business, operating results and
financial condition.

    We Must Keep Pace With Technological Change To Remain Competitive. The
computer software industry is subject to rapid technological change, changing
customer requirements, frequent new product introductions and evolving industry
standards that may render existing products and services obsolete. As a result,
our position in our existing markets, or other markets that we may enter, could
be eroded rapidly by technological advancements not adopted by us, or through
our failure to develop products and services and maintain strategic
relationships that are compatible with industry standards. The lifecycles of our
products are difficult to estimate. The products must keep pace with
technological developments, conform to evolving industry standards and address
increasingly sophisticated customer needs. We believe that we must continue to
respond quickly to users' needs for broad functionality and multi-platform
support and to advances in hardware and operating systems. Introduction of new
products embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards
could render our products obsolete and unmarketable. We may experience future
difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development,
introduction and marketing of new products, or that new products and product
enhancements will meet the requirements of the marketplace and achieve market
acceptance. If we are unable to develop and introduce products in a timely
manner in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, our
business, operating results and financial condition will be hurt.

    Our Success Depends Upon Our Proprietary Technology. Our success and ability
to compete is dependent in part upon our proprietary technology, including our
software source code. To protect our proprietary technology, we rely on a
combination of trade secret, nondisclosure and copyright laws, which may afford
only limited protection. In addition, effective copyright and trade secret
protection may be unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries. We have
no patents or patent applications pending. The source code for our proprietary
software is protected both as a trade secret and as a copyrighted work. Although
we rely on the limited protection afforded by such intellectual property laws,
we also believe that factors such as the technological and creative skills of
our personnel, new product developments, frequent product enhancements, name
recognition and reliable maintenance are also essential to establishing and
maintaining a technology leadership position. We generally enter into
confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, consultants and
customers, and generally control access to and distribution of our software,
documentation and other proprietary information. The terms of our license
agreements with our customers often require us to provide the customer with a
listing of the product source code. Although the license agreements place
restrictions on the use by the customer of our source code and do not permit the
re-sale, sublicense or other transfer of such source code, we cannot assure you
that unauthorized use of our technology will not occur.

    Despite the measures we have taken to protect our proprietary rights,
unauthorized parties may attempt to reverse engineer or copy aspects of our
products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary.
Policing unauthorized use of our products is difficult. In addition, litigation
may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to
protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the
proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or
invalidity. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of
resources and could hurt our business, operating results and financial
condition.

    Our products use technology licensed from third parties, generally on a
non-exclusive basis. These licenses generally require us to pay royalties and
fulfill confidentiality obligations. We believe that alternative resources



                                       25
<PAGE>   26
exist for each of the material components of technology licensed from third
parties. However, the termination of any such licenses, or the failure of the
third-party licensors to adequately maintain or update their products, could
result in delays in our ability to sell our products while seeking substitute
technology. Any required replacement licenses could prove costly. Also, any such
delay, which becomes extended or occurs at or near the end of a fiscal quarter,
could result in a decline in our operating results. While it may be necessary or
desirable in the future to obtain other licenses relating to one or more of our
products or relating to current or future technologies, we cannot guarantee that
we will be able to do so on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

    In the future, we may receive notices claiming that we are infringing the
proprietary rights of third parties, we cannot guarantee that we will not become
the subject of infringement claims or legal proceedings by third parties with
respect to current or future products. In addition, we may initiate claims or
litigation against third parties for infringement or to establish the validity
of our proprietary rights. Any such claim could be time consuming, result in
costly litigation, cause product shipment delays or force us to enter into
royalty or license agreements rather than dispute the merits of such claims.
Moreover, an adverse outcome in litigation or similar adversarial proceedings
could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require the
expenditure of significant resources to develop non-infringing technology,
require disputed rights to be licensed from others or require us to cease the
marketing or use of certain products, any of which could hurt our business,
operating results and financial condition. If we desire or are required to
obtain licenses to patents or proprietary rights of others, such licenses may be
made available on terms unacceptable to us, if at all. As the number of software
products in the industry increases and the functionality of these products
further overlaps, we believe that software developers may become increasingly
subject to infringement claims. Any such claims against us, with or without
merit as well as claims we initiate against third parties, could be time
consuming and expensive to defend, prosecute or resolve.

    There Are Risks Related To Product Defects, Product Liability, and
Integration Difficulties. Our software products are highly complex and
sophisticated. As a result, they may occasionally contain design defects or
software errors that could be difficult to detect and correct. In addition,
implementation of our products may involve customer-specific customization, and
may involve integration with systems developed by third parties. In particular,
it is common for complex software programs, such as our newer, client/server
software products, to contain undetected errors when first released. They are
discovered only after the product has been implemented and used over time with
different computer systems and in a variety of applications and environments.
Despite extensive testing, we have in the past discovered defects or errors in
our products or custom modifications only after our systems have been used by
many customers. In addition, our customers may occasionally experience
difficulties integrating our products with other hardware or software in the
customer's environment that are unrelated to defects in our products. Such
defects, errors or difficulties may cause future delays in product introductions
and shipments, result in increased costs and diversion of development resources,
require design modifications or impair customer satisfaction with our products.
Our future business growth depends largely on the continued development and
market acceptance of our newer, client/server products. If customers experience
significant problems with implementation of those products or are otherwise
dissatisfied with their functionality or performance or if they fail to achieve
market acceptance for any reason, our business, operating results and financial
condition would be negatively impacted.

    Our products are typically used by our customers to perform mission-critical
functions. Consequently, design defects, software errors, misuse of our
products, incorrect data from external sources or other potential problems
arising from the use of our products could result in financial or other damages
to our customers. Prior to 1998, we did not maintain product liability
insurance. Our license agreements with our customers typically contain
provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential claims as well as any
liabilities arising from such claims. However, such provisions may not
effectively protect us against such claims and the associated liability and
costs.

    We Are Dependent on Key Personnel. Our performance depends in large part on
the continued performance of our executive officers and other key employees,
particularly the performance and services of James D. Armstrong our Chief
Executive Officer. We do not have in place "key person" life insurance policies
on any of our employees. The loss of the services of Mr. Armstrong or other key
executive officers or employees could negatively affect our financial
performance.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:

         Bernat v. JDA Software Group, Inc., et al., Dist. of Arizona No.
CIV'99-0065 PHX RGS and related cases.

         On January 13, 1999, Rod Bernat, an alleged shareholder of JDA Software
Group, Inc., filed a securities class action lawsuit against the Company, its
Co-Chief Executive Officers, Frederick M. Pakis and James D. Armstrong, its
former Senior Vice President Of Research And Development, Kenneth Desmarchais,
and its former Chief Executive Officer, Brent W. Lippman, in U.S. District Court
for the District of Arizona. The complaint filed in connection with the lawsuit
alleged that during the alleged class period, January 29, 1998 through January
5, 1999, the Company misrepresented its business, financial statements and
business prospects to investors. The complaint further alleged that certain
officers of the Company sold significant quantities of the Company's common
stock during the alleged class period while the market price of the common stock
was artificially inflated by the alleged misrepresentations. Plaintiffs seek
designation of the action as a class action and damages for violation of
Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5
promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Following the filing of the Bernat action, lawsuits were filed by Norman Wiss,
Theodore J. Bloukos, Gwen Werboski, Elmer S. Martin, Linda May, Ivan Sommer,
David Hesrick and Michael J. Corn all purporting to act on behalf of the same
class of shareholders for the same class period, making substantially similar
allegations. On March 25, 1999, the District Court consolidated these lawsuits
into one case. On May 5, 1999, pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, the District Court appointed as lead plaintiffs in the
consolidated case M. Broenner, A. Gruss, Jerald Politzer, Far West Partners,
L.P., Marc Trandel, Sam Pallin and Ben R. Wilson. On July 23, 1999, Marc
Trandel, Sam Pallin, M. Broenner, A. Gruss and Jerald Politzer, allegedly as
lead plaintiffs, filed a Consolidated and Amended Class Action Complaint
("Consolidated Complaint"). The Consolidated Complaint alleges a new class
period of December 1, 1997 through July 30, 1998, which is substantially shorter
than the class period alleged in the original complaints. The Consolidated
Complaint alleges that during the new class period, JDA and the individual
defendants failed to disclose alleged difficulties JDA was allegedly having with
the development of the ODBMS product. The Consolidated Complaint does not allege
that the Company made any misrepresentations in its financial statements. Also
on July 23, 1999, Jerald Politzer and Donald Seligman filed a separate complaint
in this litigation alleging claims under Sections 11, 12(2) and 15 of the
Securities Act of 1933. They allege that the Company failed to disclose in its
prospectus and registration statement for its secondary offering of securities
on May 5, 1998, alleged difficulties JDA was allegedly having with the
development of the ODBMS product. Management believes that the actions are
without merit and intends to defend them vigorously.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS:

The Company held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 20, 1999 to vote on
the following matters.

1.       The election of Messrs. James D. Armstrong and Frederick M. Pakis to
         serve on the Board of Directors for a three-year term. There were
         19,535,409 votes cast in favor of Mr. Armstrong's election with
         1,812,882 withheld. There were 19,533,409 votes cast in favor of Mr.
         Pakis' election with 1,814,882 withheld. Four additional directors, J.
         Michael Gullard, William C. Keiper, Stephen A. McConnell and Jock
         Patton will continue to serve their existing terms through 2000
         (Messrs. Gullard and Keiper) or 2001 (Messrs.
         McConnell and Patton).

2.       To approve adoption of the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan which
         provides for the issuance of up to 750,000 shares of common stock
         annually to employees of the Company. There were 18,020,031 votes cast
         in favor of the adoption with 2,418,008 against and 910,252
         abstentions.

3.       To ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company's
         independent public accountants for the year ending December 31, 1999.
         There were 21,288,602 votes cast in favor of the ratification with
         35,955 against and 23,734 abstentions.

1. ESTABLISHMENT, PURPOSE AND TERM OF PLAN.

1.1 ESTABLISHMENT. The JDA Software Group, Inc. 1999 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan (the "PLAN") is hereby established effective as of August 16, 1999 (the
"EFFECTIVE DATE") .

1.2 PURPOSE. The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of Company and
its stockholders by providing an incentive to attract, retain and reward
Eligible Employees of the Participating Company Group and by motivating such
persons to contribute to the growth and profitability of the Participating
Company Group. The Plan provides Eligible Employees with an opportunity to
acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the purchase of Stock. The
Company intends that the Plan qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under
Section 423 of the Code (including any amendments or replacements of such
section), and the Plan shall be so construed.

1.3 TERM OF PLAN. The Plan shall continue in effect until the earlier of its
termination by the Board or the date on which all of the shares of Stock
available for issuance under the Plan have been issued.

2. DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.

    2.1 DEFINITIONS. Any term not expressly defined in the Plan but defined for
purposes of Section 423 of the Code shall have the same definition herein.
Whenever used herein, the following terms shall have their respective meanings
set forth below:

         (a) "BOARD" means the Board of Directors of the Company. If one or more
Committees have been appointed by the Board to administer the Plan, "Board" also

applicable regulations promulgated thereunder.

powers of the Committee have been specifically limited, the Committee shall have

the Plan and any applicable limitations imposed by law.

         (e) "COMPENSATION" means, with respect to any Offering Period, base

Code. Compensation shall not include reimbursements of expenses, allowances,
long-term disability, workers' compensation or any amount deemed received

Company. For purposes of the Plan, an individual shall not be deemed to have
ceased to be an Employee while on any military leave, sick leave, or other bona
fide leave of absence approved by the Company of ninety (90) days or less. If an
individual's leave of absence exceeds ninety (90) days, the individual shall be
deemed to have ceased to be an Employee on the ninety-first (91st) day of such
leave unless the individual's right to reemployment with the Participating
Company Group is guaranteed either by statute or by contract. The Company shall
determine in good faith and in the exercise of its discretion whether an
individual has become or has ceased to be an Employee and the effective date of
such individual's employment or termination of employment, as the case may be.
For purposes of an individual's participation in or other rights, if any, under
the Plan as of the time of the Company's determination, all such determinations
by the Company shall be final, binding and conclusive, notwithstanding that the
Company or any governmental agency subsequently makes a contrary determination.

         (h) "FAIR MARKET VALUE" means, as of any date if on such date the Stock
is listed on a national or regional securities exchange or market system or is
regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer, the Fair Market Value of a
share of Stock shall be the closing sale price of a share of Stock (or the mean
of the closing bid and asked prices of a share of Stock if the Stock is so
quoted instead) as quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, The Nasdaq SmallCap
Market, such other national or regional securities exchange or market system
constituting the primary market for the Stock, or by such recognized securities
dealer, as reported in the Wall Street Journal or such other source as the
Company deems reliable. If the relevant date does not fall on a day on which the
Stock has traded, the date on which the Fair Market Value is established shall
be the last day on which the Stock was so traded prior to the relevant date, or
such other appropriate day as determined by the Board, in its discretion. If, on
the relevant date, there is no public market for the Stock, the Fair Market
Value of a share of Stock shall be as determined in good faith by the Board.

         (i) "OFFERING" means an offering of Stock as provided in Section 6.
Offerings may be sequential or concurrent.

Participant may or may not exercise during the Offering Period in which such

applied to the purchase of Stock under the Plan and to terminate participation
in the Plan at any time during an Offering Period.

requires otherwise.

relevant terms and conditions of Purchase Rights; provided, however, that all
Participants granted Purchase Rights shall have the same rights and privileges

<PAGE>   5
4. SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN.

         4.1 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUABLE. Subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 4.2, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that
may be issued under the Plan shall be Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand (750,000),
cumulatively increased on August 1, 2000 and each August 1 thereafter until and
including August 1, 2009 by an amount equal to the lesser of (a) Seven Hundred
Fifty Thousand (750,000) shares or (b) a lesser amount of shares determined by
the Board, and shall consist of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of
Stock, or any combination thereof. If an outstanding Purchase Right for any
reason expires or is terminated or canceled, the shares of Stock allocable to
the unexercised portion of that Purchase Right shall again be available for
issuance under the Plan.

         4.2 ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE. In the event of any
stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination,
reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or
in the event of any merger (including a merger effected for the purpose of
changing the Company's domicile), sale of assets or other reorganization in
which the Company is a party, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the
number and class of shares subject to the Plan and each Purchase Right, the
annual increase described in Section 4.1, and in the Purchase Price. If a
majority of the shares of the same class as the shares subject to outstanding
Purchase Rights are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise become (whether
or not pursuant to an Ownership Change Event) shares of another corporation (the
"NEW SHARES"), the Board may unilaterally amend the outstanding Purchase Rights
to provide that such Purchase Rights are exercisable for New Shares. In the
event of any such amendment, the number of shares subject to, and the Purchase
Price of, the outstanding Purchase Rights shall be adjusted in a fair and
equitable manner, as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any fractional share resulting from an adjustment
pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number,
and in no event may the Purchase Price be decreased to an amount less than the
par value, if any, of the stock subject to the Purchase Right. The adjustments
determined by the Board pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be final, binding and
conclusive.

5. ELIGIBILITY.

         5.1 EMPLOYEES ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE. Each Employee of a Participating
Company is eligible to participate in the Plan and shall be deemed an Eligible
Employee, except the following:

                  (a) Any Employee who is customarily employed by the
Participating Company Group for less than twenty (20) hours per week; or

                  (b) Any Employee who is customarily employed by the
Participating Company Group for not more than five (5) months in any calendar
year.

         5.2 EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS. Notwithstanding any provision of
the Plan to the contrary, no Employee shall be granted a Purchase Right under
the Plan if,



                                       5
<PAGE>   6
immediately after such grant, the Employee would own, or hold options to
purchase, stock of the Company or of any Parent Corporation or Subsidiary
Corporation possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting
power or value of all classes of stock of such corporation, as determined in
accordance with Section 423(b)(3) of the Code. For purposes of this Section 5.2,
the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply in determining
the stock ownership of such Employee.

6. OFFERINGS.

         6.1 The Plan shall be implemented by sequential Offerings of
approximately twenty-four (24) months duration (an "OFFERING PERIOD"); provided,
however, that the first Offering Period shall commence on the Effective Date and
end on August 15, 2001 (the "INITIAL OFFERING PERIOD"). Subsequent Offering
Periods, shall commence on February 16 and August 16 of each year and end on the
second following February 15 and August 15, respectively, occurring thereafter.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may establish a different duration
effective for one or more future Offering Periods, different commencing or
ending dates for such Offering Periods or concurrent Offering Periods; provided,
however, that no Offering Period may have a duration exceeding twenty-seven (27)
months. If the first or last day of an Offering Period is not a day on which the
national securities exchanges or Nasdaq Stock Market are open for trading, the
Company shall specify the trading day that will be deemed the first or last day,
as the case may be, of the Offering Period.

         6.2 PURCHASE PERIODS. Each Offering Period shall consist of four (4)
consecutive purchase periods of approximately six (6) months duration, or such
other number or duration as the Board shall determine (individually, a "PURCHASE
PERIOD"). The Purchase Period commencing on the Offering Date of the Initial
Offering Period shall end on February 15, 2000. A Purchase Period commencing on
or about August 16 shall end on or about the next February 15. A Purchase Period
commencing on or about February 16 shall end on or about the next August 15.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may establish a different duration for
one or more Purchase Periods or different commencing or ending dates for such
Purchase Periods. If the first or last day of a Purchase Period is not a day on
which the national securities exchanges or Nasdaq Stock Market are open for
trading, the Company shall specify the trading day that will be deemed the first
or last day, as the case may be, of the Purchase Period.

7. PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN.

         7.1 INITIAL PARTICIPATION. An Eligible Employee may become a
Participant in an Offering Period by delivering a properly completed
Subscription Agreement to the office designated by the Company not later than
the close of business for such office on the Subscription Date established by
the Company for such Offering Period. An Eligible Employee who does not deliver
a properly completed Subscription Agreement to the Company's designated office
on or before the Subscription Date for an Offering Period shall not participate
in the Plan for that Offering Period or for any subsequent Offering Period
unless the Eligible Employee subsequently delivers a properly completed
Subscription Agreement to the appropriate office of the Company on or before the
Subscription Date for such subsequent Offering Period. An



                                       6
<PAGE>   7
Employee who becomes an Eligible Employee after the Offering Date of an Offering
Period shall not be eligible to participate in that Offering Period but may
participate in any subsequent Offering Period provided the Employee is still an
Eligible Employee as of the Offering Date of such subsequent Offering Period.

         7.2 CONTINUED PARTICIPATION. A Participant shall automatically
participate in the next Offering Period commencing immediately after the
Purchase Date of each Offering Period in which the Participant participates
provided that the Participant remains an Eligible Employee on the Offering Date
of the new Offering Period and has not either (a) withdrawn from the Plan
pursuant to Section 12.1 or (b) terminated employment as provided in Section 13.
A Participant who may automatically participate in a subsequent Offering Period,
as provided in this Section, is not required to deliver any additional
Subscription Agreement for the subsequent Offering Period in order to continue
participation in the Plan. However, a Participant may deliver a new Subscription
Agreement for a subsequent Offering Period in accordance with the procedures set
forth in Section 7.1 if the Participant desires to change any of the elections
contained in the Participant's then effective Subscription Agreement. Eligible
Employees may not participate simultaneously in more than one Offering.

8. RIGHT TO PURCHASE SHARES.

         8.1 GRANT OF PURCHASE RIGHT. Except as set forth below, on the Offering
Date of each Offering Period, each Participant in that Offering Period shall be
granted automatically a Purchase Right consisting of an option to purchase the
lesser of (a) that number of whole shares of Stock determined by dividing Twelve
Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($12,500) by the Fair Market Value of a share of
Stock on such Offering Date, or (b) One Thousand Two Hundred Fifty (1,250)
shares of Stock. No Purchase Right shall be granted on an Offering Date to any
person who is not, on such Offering Date, an Eligible Employee.

         8.2 PRO RATA ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE RIGHT. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 8.1, if the Board establishes an Offering Period of any
duration other than twenty-four months, then the dollar and share amounts in
Section 8.1 shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board.

         8.3 CALENDAR YEAR PURCHASE LIMITATION. Notwithstanding any provision of
the Plan to the contrary, no Participant shall be granted a Purchase Right which
permits his or her right to purchase shares of Stock under the Plan to accrue at
a rate which, when aggregated with such Participant's rights to purchase shares
under all other employee stock purchase plans of a Participating Company
intended to meet the requirements of Section 423 of the Code, exceeds
Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) in Fair Market Value (or such other
limit, if any, as may be imposed by the Code) for each calendar year in which
such Purchase Right is outstanding at any time. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, the Fair Market Value of shares purchased during a given Offering
Period shall be determined as of the Offering Date for such Offering Period. The
limitation described in this Section 8.3 shall be applied in conformance with
applicable regulations under Section 423(b)(8) of the Code.


                                       7

9. PURCHASE PRICE.

                  The Purchase Price at which each share of Stock may be
acquired in an Offering Period upon the exercise of all or any portion of a
Purchase Right shall be established by the Board; provided, however, that the
Purchase Price shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the lesser of
(a) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Offering Date of the
Offering Period or (b) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Purchase
Date. Unless otherwise provided by the Board prior to the commencement of an
Offering Period, the Purchase Price for that Offering Period shall be
eighty-five percent (85%) of the lesser of (a) the Fair Market Value of a share
of Stock on the Offering Date of the Offering Period, or (b) the Fair Market
Value of a share of Stock on the Purchase Date.

10. ACCUMULATION OF PURCHASE PRICE THROUGH PAYROLL DEDUCTION.

         Shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of all or any portion
of a Purchase Right may be paid for only by means of payroll deductions from the
Participant's Compensation accumulated during the Offering Period for which such
Purchase Right was granted, subject to the following:

         10.1 AMOUNT OF PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. Except as otherwise provided herein,
the amount to be deducted under the Plan from a Participant's Compensation on
each payday during an Offering Period shall be determined by the Participant's
Subscription Agreement. The Subscription Agreement shall set forth the
percentage of the Participant's Compensation to be deducted on each payday
during an Offering Period in whole percentages of not less than one percent (1%)
(except as a result of an election pursuant to Section 10.3 to stop payroll
deductions effective following the first payday during an Offering) or more than
ten percent (10%). The Board may change the foregoing limits on payroll
deductions effective as of any future Offering Date.

         10.2 COMMENCEMENT OF PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. Payroll deductions shall
commence on the first payday following the Offering Date and shall continue to
the end of the Offering Period unless sooner altered or terminated as provided
herein.

         10.3 ELECTION TO CHANGE OR STOP PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. During an Offering
Period, a Participant may elect to increase or decrease the rate of or to stop
deductions from his or her Compensation by delivering to the Company's
designated office an amended Subscription Agreement authorizing such change on
or before the Change Notice Date, as defined below. A Participant who elects to
decrease the rate of his or her payroll deductions to zero percent (0%) shall
nevertheless remain a Participant in the current Offering Period unless such
Participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section 12.1.

         10.4 ADMINISTRATIVE SUSPENSION OF PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. The Company may,
in its sole discretion, suspend a Participant's payroll deductions under the
Plan as the Company deems advisable to avoid accumulating payroll deductions in
excess of the amount that could reasonably be anticipated to purchase the
maximum number of shares of Stock permitted


                                       8
<PAGE>   9
(a) under the Participant's Purchase Right or (b) during a calendar year under
the limit set forth in Section 8.3. Payroll deductions shall be resumed at the
rate specified in the Participant's then effective Subscription Agreement at the
beginning of the next Purchase Period, unless the Participant has either
withdrawn from the Plan as provided in Section 12.1 or has ceased to be an
Eligible Employee.

         10.5 PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS. Individual bookkeeping accounts shall be
maintained for each Participant. All payroll deductions from a Participant's
Compensation shall be credited to such Participant's Plan account and shall be
deposited with the general funds of the Company. All payroll deductions received
or held by the Company may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose.

         10.6 NO INTEREST PAID. Interest shall not be paid on sums deducted from
a Participant's Compensation pursuant to the Plan.

         10.7 VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL FROM PLAN ACCOUNT. A Participant may withdraw
all or any portion of the payroll deductions credited to his or her Plan account
and not previously applied toward the purchase of Stock by delivering to the
Company's designated office a written notice on a form provided by the Company
for such purpose. A Participant who withdraws the entire remaining balance
credited to his or her Plan account shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the
Plan in accordance with Section 12.1. Amounts withdrawn shall be returned to the
Participant as soon as practicable after the notice of withdrawal and may not be
applied to the purchase of shares in any Offering under the Plan. The Company
may from time to time establish or change limitations on the frequency of
withdrawals permitted under this Section, establish a minimum dollar amount that
must be retained in the Participant's Plan account, or terminate the withdrawal
right provided by this Section.

11. PURCHASE OF SHARES.

11.1 EXERCISE OF PURCHASE RIGHT. On each Purchase Date of an Offering Period,
each Participant who has not withdrawn from the Plan and whose participation in
the Offering has not otherwise terminated before such Purchase Date shall
automatically acquire pursuant to the exercise of the Participant's Purchase
Right the number of whole shares of Stock determined by dividing (a) the total
amount of the Participant's payroll deductions accumulated in the Participant's
Plan account during the Offering Period and not previously applied toward the
purchase of Stock by (b) the Purchase Price. However, in no event shall the
number of shares purchased by the Participant during an Offering Period exceed
the number of shares subject to the Participant's Purchase Right. No shares of
Stock shall be purchased on a Purchase Date on behalf of a Participant whose
participation in the Offering or the Plan has terminated before such Purchase
Date.

         11.2 PRO RATA ALLOCATION OF SHARES. If the number of shares of Stock
which might be purchased by all Participants in the Plan on a Purchase Date
exceeds the number of shares of Stock available in the Plan as provided in
Section 4.1, the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the remaining
shares in as uniform a manner as practicable and as the Company



                                    9
<PAGE>   10
determines to be equitable. Any fractional share resulting from such pro rata
allocation to any Participant shall be disregarded.

         11.3 DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATES. As soon as practicable after each
Purchase Date, the Company shall arrange the delivery to each Participant, as
appropriate, of a certificate representing the shares acquired by the
Participant on such Purchase Date; provided that the Company may deliver such
shares to a broker designated by the Company that will hold such shares for the
benefit of the Participant. Shares to be delivered to a Participant under the
Plan shall be registered in the name of the Participant, or, if requested by the
Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse, or, if
applicable, in the names of the heirs of the Participant.

         11.4 RETURN OF CASH BALANCE. Any cash balance remaining in a
Participant's Plan account following any Purchase Date shall be refunded to the
Participant as soon as practicable after such Purchase Date. However, if the
cash balance to be returned to a Participant pursuant to the preceding sentence
is less than the amount that would have been necessary to purchase an additional
whole share of Stock on such Purchase Date, the Company may retain the cash
balance in the Participant's Plan account to be applied toward the purchase of
shares in the subsequent Purchase Period or Offering Period, as the case may be.

         11.5 TAX WITHHOLDING. At the time a Participant's Purchase Right is
exercised, in whole or in part, or at the time a Participant disposes of some or
all of the shares he or she acquires under the Plan, the Participant shall make
adequate provision for the foreign, federal, state and local tax withholding
obligations, if any, of the Participating Company Group which arise upon
exercise of the Purchase Right or upon such disposition of shares, respectively.
The Participating Company Group may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold
from the Participant's compensation the amount necessary to meet such
withholding obligations.

         11.6 EXPIRATION OF PURCHASE RIGHT. Any portion of a Participant's
Purchase Right remaining unexercised after the end of the Offering Period to
which the Purchase Right relates shall expire immediately upon the end of the
Offering Period.

         11.7 REPORTS AND STOCKHOLDER INFORMATION TO PARTICIPANTS. Each
Participant who has exercised all or part of his or her Purchase Right shall
receive, as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date, a report of such
Participant's Plan account setting forth the total payroll deductions
accumulated prior to such exercise, the number of shares purchased, the Purchase
Price for such shares, the date of purchase and the cash balance, if any,
remaining immediately after such purchase that is to be refunded or retained in
the Participant's Plan account pursuant to Section 11.4. The report required by
this Section may be delivered in such form and by such means, including by
electronic transmission, as the Company may determine.

12. WITHDRAWAL FROM PLAN.

         12.1 VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PLAN. A Participant may withdraw
from the Plan by signing and delivering to the Company's designated office a
written notice of



                                       10
<PAGE>   11
withdrawal on a form provided by the Company for this purpose. Such withdrawal
may be elected at any time prior to the end of an Offering Period; provided,
however, that if a Participant withdraws from the Plan after a Purchase Date,
the withdrawal shall not affect shares acquired by the Participant on such
Purchase Date. A Participant who voluntarily withdraws from the Plan is
prohibited from resuming participation in the Plan in the same Offering from
which he or she withdrew, but may participate in any subsequent Offering by
again satisfying the requirements of Sections 5 and 7.1. The Company may impose,
from time to time, a requirement that the notice of withdrawal from the Plan be
on file with the Company's designated office for a reasonable period prior to
the effectiveness of the Participant's withdrawal.

         12.2 AUTOMATIC WITHDRAWAL FROM AN OFFERING. If the Fair Market Value of
a share of Stock on a Purchase Date of an Offering (other than the final
Purchase Date of such Offering) is less than the Fair Market Value of a share of
Stock on the Offering Date for such Offering, then every Participant shall
automatically (a) be withdrawn from such Offering at the close of such Purchase
Date and after the acquisition of shares of Stock for such Purchase Period and
(b) be enrolled in the Offering commencing on the first business day subsequent
to such Purchase Period. A Participant may elect not to be automatically
withdrawn from an Offering Period pursuant to this Section 12.2 by delivering to
the Company not later than the close of business on the last day before the
Purchase Date a written notice indicating such election.

         12.3 RETURN OF PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. Upon a Participant's voluntary
withdrawal from the Plan or Offering pursuant to Section 12.1 or 12.2,
respectively, the Participant's accumulated payroll deductions which have not
been applied toward the purchase of shares (except, in the case of an automatic
withdrawal pursuant to Section 12.2, for an amount necessary to purchase less
than a whole share of Stock) shall be refunded to the Participant as soon as
practicable after the withdrawal, without the payment of any interest, and the
Participant's interest in the Offering or the Plan, as applicable, shall
terminate. Such accumulated payroll deductions to be refunded in accordance with
this Section may not be applied to any other Offering under the Plan.

13. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR ELIGIBILITY.

         Upon a Participant's ceasing, prior to a Purchase Date, to be an
Employee of the Participating Company Group for any reason, including
retirement, disability or death, or upon the failure of a Participant to remain
an Eligible Employee, the Participant's participation in the Plan shall
terminate immediately. In such event, the Participant's accumulated payroll
deductions which have not been applied toward the purchase of shares shall, as
soon as practicable, be returned to the Participant or, in the case of the
Participant's death, to the Participant's legal representative, and all of the
Participant's rights under the Plan shall terminate. Interest shall not be paid
on sums returned pursuant to this Section 13. A Participant whose participation
has been so terminated may again become eligible to participate in the Plan by
satisfying the requirements of Sections 5 and 7.1.

14. CHANGE IN CONTROL.

    14.1 DEFINITIONS.

         (a) An "OWNERSHIP CHANGE EVENT" shall be deemed to have occurred if any
of the following occurs with respect to the Company: (i) the direct or indirect
sale or exchange in a single or series of related transactions by the
stockholders of the Company of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock
of the Company; (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is a party;
(iii) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company; or (iv) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

                  (b) A "CHANGE IN CONTROL" shall mean an Ownership Change Event
or a series of related Ownership Change Events (collectively, the "TRANSACTION")
wherein the stockholders of the Company immediately before the Transaction do
not retain immediately after the Transaction, in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of shares of the Company's voting stock
immediately before the Transaction, direct or indirect beneficial ownership of
more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the
outstanding voting stock of the Company or the corporation or corporations to
which the assets of the Company were transferred (the "TRANSFEREE
CORPORATION(S)"), as the case may be. For purposes of the preceding sentence,
indirect beneficial ownership shall include, without limitation, an interest
resulting from ownership of the voting stock of one or more corporations which,
as a result of the Transaction, own the Company or the Transferee
Corporation(s), as the case may be, either directly or through one or more
subsidiary corporations. The Board shall have the right to determine whether
multiple sales or exchanges of the voting stock of the Company or multiple
Ownership Change Events are related, and its determination shall be final,
binding and conclusive.

         14.2 EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL ON PURCHASE RIGHTS. In the event of a
Change in Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing
corporation or parent corporation thereof, as the case may be (the "ACQUIRING
CORPORATION"), may assume the Company's rights and obligations under the Plan.
If the Acquiring Corporation elects not to assume the Company's rights and
obligations under outstanding Purchase Rights, the Purchase Date of the then
current Purchase Period shall be accelerated to a date before the date of the
Change in Control specified by the Board, but the number of shares of Stock
subject to outstanding Purchase Rights shall not be adjusted. All Purchase
Rights which are neither assumed by the Acquiring Corporation in connection with
the Change in Control nor exercised as of the date of the Change in Control
shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date of the
Change in Control.

15. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF PURCHASE RIGHTS.

         A Participant's Purchase Right may not be assigned, transferred,
pledged or otherwise disposed of in any manner other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution. A Purchase Right shall be exercisable during the
lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant.



                                       12
<PAGE>   13
16. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAW.

         The issuance of shares under the Plan shall be subject to compliance
with all applicable requirements of federal, state and foreign law with respect
to such securities. A Purchase Right may not be exercised if the issuance of
shares upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable
federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the
requirements of any securities exchange or market system upon which the Stock
may then be listed. In addition, no Purchase Right may be exercised unless (a) a
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall at
the time of exercise of the Purchase Right be in effect with respect to the
shares issuable upon exercise of the Purchase Right, or (b) in the opinion of
legal counsel to the Company, the shares issuable upon exercise of the Purchase
Right may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from
the registration requirements of said Act. The inability of the Company to
obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any,
deemed by the Company's legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and
sale of any shares under the Plan shall relieve the Company of any liability in
respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite
authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the exercise of a
Purchase Right, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any
qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with
any applicable law or regulation, and to make any representation or warranty
with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

17. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER AND EMPLOYEE.

         A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder by virtue of the
Participant's participation in the Plan until the date of the issuance of a
certificate for the shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of the
Participant's Purchase Right (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books
of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No
adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which
the record date is prior to the date such certificate is issued, except as
provided in Section 4.2. Nothing herein shall confer upon a Participant any
right to continue in the employ of the Participating Company Group or interfere
in any way with any right of the Participating Company Group to terminate the
Participant's employment at any time.

18. LEGENDS.

         The Company may at any time place legends or other identifying symbols
referencing any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law restrictions
or any provision convenient in the administration of the Plan on some or all of
the certificates representing shares issued under the Plan. The Participant
shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and
all certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to a Purchase Right in
the possession of the Participant in order to carry out the provisions of this
Section.


                                       13
<PAGE>   14
19. NOTIFICATION OF SALE OF SHARES.

         The Company may require the Participant to give the Company prompt
notice of any disposition of shares acquired by exercise of a Purchase Right
within two years from the date of granting such Purchase Right or one year from
the date of exercise of such Purchase Right. The Company may require that until
such time as a Participant disposes of shares acquired upon exercise of a
Purchase Right, the Participant shall hold all such shares in the Participant's
name (or, if elected by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his
or her spouse but not in the name of any nominee) until the lapse of the time
periods with respect to such Purchase Right referred to in the preceding
sentence. The Company may direct that the certificates evidencing shares
acquired by exercise of a Purchase Right refer to such requirement to give
prompt notice of disposition.

20. NOTICES.

         All notices or other communications by a Participant to the Company
under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given
when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the
person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.

21. INDEMNIFICATION.

         In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as
members of the Board or officers or employees of the Participating Company
Group, members of the Board and any officers or employees of the Participating
Company Group to whom authority to act for the Board or the Company is delegated
shall be indemnified by the Company against all reasonable expenses, including
attorneys' fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the
defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal
therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action
taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan, or any right
granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof
(provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by
the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action,
suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be
adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such person is liable for gross
negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct in duties; provided, however,
that within sixty (60) days after the institution of such action, suit or
proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity
at its own expense to handle and defend the same.



                                       14
<PAGE>   15
22. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

         The Board may at any time amend or terminate the Plan, except that (a)
such termination shall not affect Purchase Rights previously granted under the
Plan, except as permitted under the Plan, provided that the Board may terminate
the Plan (and any Offerings thereunder) on any Purchase Date if the Board
determines that such termination is in the best interests of the Company and its
stockholders, and (b) no amendment may adversely affect a Purchase Right
previously granted under the Plan (except to the extent permitted by the Plan or
as may be necessary to qualify the Plan as an employee stock purchase plan
pursuant to Section 423 of the Code or to obtain qualification or registration
of the shares of Stock under applicable federal, state or foreign securities
laws). In addition, an amendment to the Plan must be approved by the
stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months of the adoption of such
amendment if such amendment would authorize the sale of more shares than are
authorized for issuance under the Plan or would change the definition of the
corporations that may be designated by the Board as Participating Companies.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Secretary of the Company certifies
that the foregoing JDA Software Group, Inc. 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
was duly adopted by the Board on _____________, 1999.
