1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary (consisting only of
reclassifications and normal recurring adjustments) to present fairly the
financial information contained therein. These statements do not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles and should be
read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes
included in our Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2000. The results of
operations for the nine months ended October 31, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending January 31, 2001.

Certain prior period financial statement items have been reclassified to conform
to current period presentation.

2.       COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Comprehensive loss includes changes in the balances of items that are reported
directly in a separate component of stockholders' equity on the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets. The components of comprehensive loss are as

3.       PER SHARE INFORMATION

Net income (loss) per share is computed in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic income (loss)
per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed using
the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalents
outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents consist of the shares
issuable upon the exercise of warrants and stock options using the treasury
stock method. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and
diluted income (loss) per share:

they were anti-dilutive.

with a five-year amortization schedule. The term loan may be re-loaded to
$15.0 million on an annual basis. Borrowings under the term loan portion of
the facility bear interest at prime plus 3.75 percent. The maximum borrowings
under the revolving portion of the facility are subject to a borrowing base
calculation. Borrowings under the revolving potion of the credit facility
bear interest on a floating rate based on either LIBOR or prime plus the
corresponding applicable margins ranging from 2.50 percent to 3.75 percent
for the LIBOR option or 0.25 percent to 1.25 percent for the prime option
depending on the trailing twelve month earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization. We pay an annual commitment fee of 0.375
percent calculated on the average unused portion of the $30.0 million
facility. As of October 31, 2000, approximately $5.9 million was available
and unused on the revolving portion of the Foothill credit facility.

On September 11, 2000, we drew $15.0 million on the term portion of the
facility and $10.0 million of these proceeds were used to retire the existing
debt with Bank One in its entirety.

5.       RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2001, QAD undertook several initiatives to
strengthen operating and financial performance by sharpening the focus of our
e-business and business intelligence solutions for multi-national customers. The
related actions included facility consolidations, a reduction of approximately
150 employees, contractors and consultants across most regions and functions and
associated asset write-downs. These actions resulted in a $5.1 million charge
taken in the third quarter of fiscal year 2001. As of October 31, 2000, $2.4
million of this charge was utilized, and we expect to pay the remaining balance
by the end of fiscal year 2003. The restructuring charge and related utilization
as of October 31, 2000 are detailed by category as follows:

In response to changes in customers' manufacturing capital software spending
patterns during fiscal year 1999, we undertook a restructuring program that
more closely aligned costs with sales expectations. The program included the
consolidation of certain facilities and an approximate reduction of 230
positions across a broad cross-section of QAD. This program was continued in
fiscal year 2000 with a $1.2 million charge recorded in the second quarter.
As of October 31, 2000, $5.4 million of the total $5.5 million restructuring
charge was utilized, and we expect to pay the remaining balance by January
31, 2001. The restructuring charge and related utilization as of October 31,
2000 are detailed by category as follows:

7.       BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

In July 2000, we acquired certain assets and liabilities of an Italy-based
distributor, Atos Italy S.p.A. The cost of the acquisition totaled $1.7 million.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method. Goodwill related to
the acquisition of $1.1 million is being amortized over ten years.

Results of operations have been included in the financial statements since the
acquisition date. The historical operations of the acquired company are not

TOTAL REVENUE. Total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 2001 was $50.0
million, a decline of $6.7 million, or 12% from $56.7 million in the third
quarter of fiscal year 2000. Total revenue for the nine months ended October 31,
2000 was $154.9 million, a decline of 8% or $13.5 million from $168.4 million in
the comparable prior year period. This decrease in total revenue on both a
quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year basis was primarily due to declines in
license fee and services revenue, partially offset by continued growth in
maintenance revenue.

Although we believe the Year 2000 capital spending lock-down is over, customers
have not yet resumed former buying levels. They are instead taking the time to
evaluate their e-business strategies before investing in associated

software, resulting in our license revenue decline. The decrease in services
revenue relates to decreased utilization of our service consultants in
conjunction with lower license sales. Maintenance and other revenue continue to
grow due to expansion of our installed base.

As a result of these factors, our revenue mix has shifted away from higher
margin license revenue, from 37% of total revenue in the first nine months of
fiscal year 2000 to 31% in the first nine months of fiscal year 2001, toward
lower margin maintenance and other revenue.

TOTAL COST OF REVENUE. Total cost of revenue (combined cost of license fees and
other cost of revenue) as a percentage of total revenue increased from 43% in
the third quarter of fiscal year 2000 to 49% in the third quarter of fiscal year
2001. Total cost of revenue also increased from 45% in the first nine months of
fiscal year 2000 to 49% in the first nine months of fiscal year 2001. These
increases were primarily due to the shift in revenue mix away from the higher
margin license business and toward lower margin maintenance and other revenue,
as well as lower service margins due to decreased utilization rates of service
consultants in conjunction with the lower license sales.

SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expense decreased 17% to $15.7
million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2001 from $18.8 million in the
comparable prior year period. On a year-to-date basis, sales and marketing
expense declined $9.2 million or 16% to $49.8 million compared to the first
nine months of fiscal year 2000. The decline in spending was primarily due to
continued cost control measures, including a partial quarter benefit of the
recently announced restructuring program as well as lower commission expense
on decreased revenue.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expense decreased slightly to
$8.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2001 from $8.5 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 2000. During the nine months ended October 31, 2000, research
and development expense increased slightly to $26.8 million from $26.0 million
in the same prior year period. The year-to-date increase primarily relates to
increased investment in QAD eQ and our web-enabled ERP products, partly
offset by a partial quarter benefit of the recently announced restructuring
program.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expense remained
relatively flat for both the three-month and nine-month periods of fiscal years
2001 and 2000 at $5.3 million and $5.4 million for the quarter ended October 31,
2000 and 1999 and $16.8 million and $17.0 million for the nine-month period
ended October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGE. On August 22, 2000, we announced an initiative to
sharpen the focus of our e-business and business intelligence solutions for
multi-national customers. In connection with this shift, we took a $5.1
million restructuring charge in the third quarter of the fiscal year 2001
related to facilities consolidations, including two office closures, employee
termination costs and associated asset write-downs.

In response to changes in customers' manufacturing capital software spending
patterns, we undertook a restructuring program in fiscal year 1999 that more
closely aligned costs with sales expectations. This program was continued in
fiscal year 2000 with an additional charge of $1.2 million.

INCOME TAXES. We recorded income tax expense of $5.0 million for the nine months
ended October 31, 2000. This includes $1.8 million for taxes in the
jurisdictions that were profitable for the first nine months and a $3.2 million
valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets. Income tax expense for the
first nine months of fiscal year 2000 was $3.8 million. This included $2.5
million for taxes in jurisdictions that were profitable during this period and
$1.3 million in tax charges related to a valuation allowance and an IRS audit of
the years 1995 and 1996. We have not provided benefit for the jurisdictions in
loss positions due to management's determination regarding the uncertainty of
the realization of these benefits.

OUTLOOK

We expect total revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001 of this
fiscal year to range from $54.0 to $57.0 million, with the increase over the
third quarter of fiscal year 2001 coming primarily in license revenue. In
line with the expected increase in license revenue, gross margin should
improve by a few percentage points. Operating expenses should also improve
slightly due to a full quarter impact of the restructuring actions
implemented in the third quarter of fiscal year 2001. Based on these factors,
EPS should range between a small profit and a small loss.

                                                                               9

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have historically financed our operations and met our capital expenditure
requirements through cash flows from operations, sale of equity securities and
borrowings. We had working capital of $12.1 million and $31.7 million as of
October 31, 2000 and January 31, 2000, respectively. Cash and equivalents were
$31.7 million and $35.9 million at October 31, 2000 and January 31, 2000,
respectively.

Accounts receivable, net of allowances, decreased to $61.7 million at October
31, 2000 from $98.6 million at January 31, 2000. Accounts receivable days sales
outstanding decreased to 111 days at October 31, 2000 from 125 days at January
31, 2000, partially due to the recent implementation of an automated collection
system.

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $6.8 million and $(3.1)
million for the nine months ended October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
year-over-year improvement relates primarily to higher accounts receivable
collections.

Net cash used in investing activities, which aggregated to $6.7 million and
$4.4 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, primarily relates to the purchase of property and equipment in
fiscal years 2000 and 1999 and the sale of short-term cash investments in the
nine months ended October 31, 1999. At October 31, 2000 we had no material
commitments for capital expenditures.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities totaled $(1.5) million and
$5.5 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively,
and was composed of net proceeds and repayments of borrowings and issuance of
common stock.

We believe that the cash on hand, net cash provided by operating activities and
the available borrowings under our credit facility will provide us with
sufficient resources to meet our current and long-term working capital
requirements, debt service and other cash needs.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation" (FIN 44). FIN 44 provides guidance for issues arising in applying
APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." FIN 44 applies
specifically to new awards, exchanges of awards in a business combination,
modification to outstanding awards, and changes in grantee status that occur on
or after July 1, 2000, except for the provisions related to repricings and the
definition of an employee, which apply to awards issued after December 15, 1998.
Application of FIN 44 did not have an effect on our financial reporting.
