Item 4.  Description of Securities.

         Not applicable.

         The legality of the issuance of the shares has been passed upon for the

         Article  EIGHTH  of  the  Registrant's   Second  Amended  and  Restated
Certificate  of  Incorporation  (the "Restated  Certificate  of  Incorporation")
provides that no director of the Registrant  shall be personally  liable for any
monetary  damages for any breach of  fiduciary  duty as a  director,  except for
liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant
or its  stockholders,  (ii) for  acts or  omissions  not in good  faith or which
involve  intentional  misconduct  or a knowing  violation  of law,  (iii)  under
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived any improper personal benefit.

<PAGE>



         Article NINTH of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides that the Registrant  shall to the fullest extent  permitted by Delaware
law, as in effect from time to time,  indemnify  each director or officer of the
Registrant or of any of its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any litigation or other legal proceeding, by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was a  director,  officer,  employee  or
agent  of the  Registrant  or of any of its  subsidiaries  (provided  that  such
person's  actions  subject to such  proceeding were taken in good faith and in a
manner  he or she  reasonably  believed  to be in or  not  opposed  to the  best
interests of the Registrant,  and, with respect to any criminal proceeding,  had
no  reasonable  cause to believe his or her conduct  was  unlawful)  against all
expense,  liability and loss  (including,  but not limited to,  attorneys' fees,
judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties with respect to any employee benefit
plan or  otherwise,  and amounts paid or to be paid in  settlement)  incurred or
suffered  by such  director  or  officer  in  connection  with such  proceeding;
provided,  however,  that,  except for  proceedings  to recover claims made by a
director or officer against the Registrant  pursuant to such Article NINTH,  the
Registrant  shall not be  obligated  to  indemnify  a  director  or  officer  in
connection  with a proceeding  not  authorized  by the Board of Directors of the
Registrant and initiated by such director or officer  against (i) the Registrant
or any of its subsidiaries,  (ii) any person who is or was a director,  officer,
employee or agent of the Registrant or any of its subsidiaries  and/or (iii) any
person or entity  which is or was  controlled,  controlled  by, or under  common
control with the Registrant or has or had business relations with the Registrant
or any of its subsidiaries.

         The right to  indemnification  conferred by such Article NINTH includes
the right to be paid by the Registrant the expenses  incurred in connection with
the  defense or  investigation  of any such  proceeding  in advance of its final
disposition;  provided,  however, that if and to the extent that Delaware law so
requires,  the payment of such expense in advance of the final  disposition of a
proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Registrant of an undertaking,
by or on behalf of such  director or officer or former  director or officer,  to
repay all amounts so advanced if it shall  ultimately  be  determined  that such
director  or  officer  or former  director  or  officer  is not  entitled  to be
indemnified by the Registrant.

         Article NINTH of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
further provides that the indemnification provided therein is not exclusive, and
provides that in the event that the Delaware General  Corporation Law is amended
to expand the indemnification  permitted to directors or officers the Registrant
must indemnify  those persons to the fullest extent  permitted by such law as so
amended.

         Section 145 of the Delaware  General  Corporation  Law provides  that a
corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of
the  corporation  and  certain  other  persons  serving  at the  request  of the
corporation in related  capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in
connection  with an action or  proceeding  to which he is or is threatened to be
made by a party by reason of such  position,  if such person shall have acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best  interests of the  corporation,  and, in any criminal  proceeding,  if such
person had no  reasonable  cause to believe his conduct was  unlawful;  provided
that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the  corporation,  no
indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation  unless and only to the
extent that the  adjudicating  court  determines  that such  indemnification  is
proper under the circumstances.

         The Company has obtained directors and officers liability insurance for
the benefit of its directors and certain of its officers.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

         Not applicable.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

         (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a  post-effective  amendment  to this  Registration  Statement  to  include  any
material  information  with respect to the plan of  distribution  not previously
disclosed  in  the  Registration  Statement  or  any  material  change  to  such
information in the Registration Statement.

         (2) That,  for the  purpose  of  determining  any  liability  under the
Securities Act, each such  post-effective  amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration  statement  relating to the  securities  offered  therein,  and the
offering of such  securities  at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.


                                       -4-



<PAGE>



         (3) To remove from  registration by means of  post-effective  amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

         The  undersigned  Registrant  hereby  undertakes  that, for purposes of
determining  any  liability  under  the  Securities  Act,  each  filing  of  the
Registrant's  annual  report  pursuant to Section  13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where  applicable,  each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual  report   pursuant  to  Section  15(d)  of  the  Exchange  Act)  that  is
incorporated by reference in the Registration  Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration  statement relating to the securities offered therein,  and the
offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be  permitted to  directors,  officers  and  controlling  persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,  the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities  and Exchange  Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore,  unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such  liabilities  (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director,  officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director,  officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been  settled by  controlling  precedent,  submit to a court of  appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such  indemnification  by it is against public
policy as  expressed  in the  Securities  Act and will be  governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

         Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as counsel to Mobius Management Systems, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Registrant"), in connection with the preparation and filing of
a Registration  Statement on Form S-8 (the  "Registration  Statement")  with the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the  "Commission"),  with respect to the
registration  under the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),  of an
aggregate of 3,836,000  shares (the "Shares") of common stock, par value $0.0001
per share (the "Common Stock"),  to be issued pursuant to the Registrant's  1996
Stock   Incentive  Plan,  1998  Employee  Stock  Purchase  Plan,  and  the  1998
Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (collectively, the "Plans").

         In connection  with the  registration  of the Shares,  we have reviewed
copies of the Registration Statement, the Plans, the Second Amended and Restated
Certificate  of  Incorporation  and the  Amended  and  Restated  By-laws  of the
Registrant,  and such other documents and records as we have deemed necessary to
enable us to express an opinion on the matters covered hereby.

         We have also examined and relied upon representations,  statements,  or
certificates  of  public  officials  and  officers  and  representatives  of the
Registrant.

         Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares covered
by the  Registration  Statement have been duly  authorized and, upon thereof and
payment  therefor in accordance  with the terms stated in the applicable  Plans,
will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

         Kenneth  P.  Kopelman,  a  partner  at this  firm,  is a member  of the
Registrant's  board of directors  and owns options to purchase  10,000 shares of
Common Stock. In addition, Mr. Kopelman may be deemed to be the beneficial owner
of 1,500 shares of the  Registrant's  Common Stock owned by his minor  children.
Such  information  is also  disclosed  in Item 5 of Part II of the  Registration
Statement.

         We hereby  consent  to the use of this  opinion  as an  exhibit  to the
Registration Statement. In giving the foregoing consent, we do not thereby admit
that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7
of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

         We are delivering this opinion to the  Registrant,  and no person other
than the Registrant may rely upon it.

                                       Very truly yours,

                                       /s/ Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel
                                       -------------------------------------

         We consent to incorporation by reference in this registration statement
on Form S-8 of Mobius Management Systems, Inc. of our reports dated February 23,
1998,  except  as to Note 15 which  is as of April  27,  1998,  relating  to the
consolidated balance sheets of Mobius Management Systems,  Inc. and subsidiaries
as of June 30, 1996 and 1997 and December 31, 1997, and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years
in the three-year  period ended June 30 , 1997 and the six months ended December
31, 1997, and the related  schedule,  which reports appears in the  registration
statement No.  333-47117 on Form S-1, as amended of Mobius  Management  Systems,
Inc.
