PART 1

ITEM 1. Business.

General

Made2Manage  Systems,  Inc.  develops,  markets and supports  fully  integrated,
Microsoft(R) Windows-based business application software for manufacturers.  Our
principal product, Made2Manage for Windows, referred to as "Made2Manage",  is an
enterprise-wide  business management system,  often referred to as an Enterprise
Resource Planning,  or "ERP", system. Our corporate offices are in Indianapolis,
Indiana and we have a  subsidiary,  Bridgeware,  Inc.  which we acquired  during
1998. Bridgeware provides advanced planning and scheduling software.  Bridgeware
is based in Hayward, California and has a subsidiary in Israel.

Markets and Customers

Our target market consists primarily of small and midsize discrete manufacturers
with annual  revenues of between $5 million and $100 million that are engaged in
engineer-to-order,  make-to-order,  assemble-to-order,  make-to-stock  and mixed
styles of production. Discrete manufacturers fabricate and assemble parts into a
finished product as distinguished from process manufacturers,  which combine raw
materials to create  finished  products.  Engineer-to-order  manufacturing  is a
subset of make-to-order where the product is expressly designed and manufactured
to  meet  a  customer's  unique  requirements,   often  as  a  "one-time"  item.
Make-to-order  manufacturing  involves  fabricating and assembling products that
are  either  standardized  or  that  meet a  customer's  unique  specifications.
Assemble-to-order   manufacturing  involves  assembling  products  that  meet  a
customer's unique specifications from standard,  or stock,  sub-component parts.
Make-to-stock refers to manufacturing in which standard products are fabricated,
assembled and placed in finished  goods  inventory  based on projected  customer
demand.  Many  manufacturing  processes  involve a combination of some or all of
these production techniques.

Based on data published by Dun & Bradstreet  Corporation,  we believe that there
are over 50,000  manufacturing  operations  in the United States and Canada that
meet our target market parameters.

Sales and Marketing

We market our products and services  throughout the United States and Canada. We
use  direct  sales   representatives,   supported   by  regional   managers  and
manufacturing  applications consultants,  and a network of Value Added Resellers
("VARs").  We have licensed  Made2Manage for use at more than 1000 manufacturing
sites  in  North  America,  primarily  in  the  United  States.  Bridgeware  has
established customers and reseller relationships outside of North America.

The Product

Made2Manage  is designed to meet the unique needs of small and midsize  discrete
manufacturers  engaged in engineer-to-order,  make-to-order,  assemble-to-order,
make-to-stock  and mixed styles of  production.  The product is a  comprehensive
application suite designed to be the only business software these  manufacturers
need to effectively manage their entire organizations.  It includes applications
in sales and marketing, engineering,  materials management,  production, quality
management, finance and accounting, and human resources.

Made2Manage is an enterprise-wide,  client/server software solution designed for
use on PCs running  Windows NT  Workstation,  Windows 98 or Windows 95 over LANs
that  utilize  Windows  NT or  Novell  Netware  servers.  It is a native  32-bit
application with an object-oriented structure developed using Microsoft's Visual
Studio. The object-oriented,  standards-based  architecture shortens development
cycles,  reduces costs of product  enhancements,  opens the product for use with
other  applications,  such as Microsoft  Office,  and provides a more  efficient
environment for customer support.



                                       1
<PAGE>




Made2Manage  is designed to enable users to do their jobs more  effectively on a
consistent  basis.  Made2Manage  provides a set of applications  specific to the
demands  of our  target  market.  We  believe  these  unique  needs  include:

o    Easy-to-use  screens  designed  for  employees  that are  generalists,  not
     specialists, in the use of computers,

o    An emphasis on  lower-cost,  standard  technology,  specifically  Microsoft
     technology, because our customers have limited Information System staff and
     resources, and

o    Functionality that can be readily learned and can be effectively  supported
     by the software provider.

Made2Manage  provides  software  in seven  functional  areas of a  manufacturing
operation. These functional areas with a brief description are:

1.   Sales and  Distribution  provides  the ability to track  sales,  quotes and
     order  activity,  ship the  order  and to  communicate  with  the  customer
     regarding  status  of  the  order.   Sales  Order  Processing  manages  the
     activities from the time the customer  confirms the order,  into production
     and through shipment,  including  acknowledging the order,  receiving stock
     materials  and  handling  multiple  releases  and  partial  shipments.  The
     Rules-Based Product Configurator allows the sales person to guide customers
     through  specific  product  choices to precisely  meet their  product needs
     while  assuring  that  quotes  meet  profitability  and   manufacturability
     guidelines.

2.   Engineering  applications  are designed to help engineers  accomplish their
     tasks more efficiently and better  coordinate with  manufacturing and other
     parts of the organization.  It includes Engineering Change Management (ECM)
     which  helps  ensure  personnel  follow  proper  change  procedures  during
     approval and implementation.  It also provides information to help identify
     the impact  that  changes  will have on the  organization.  Other  features
     include a data  interface to AutoCAD(R) 14 that prevents  engineering  from
     entering the same information  twice and a graphical Bill of Material (BOM)
     creation and editing tool.

3.   Materials  Management  functions  include Materials  Requirements  Planning
     (MRP) for controlling inventory procurement and production job creation, as
     well as  infinite  and  finite  production  scheduling.  Our  new  Advanced
     Planning and  Scheduling  capabilities,  acquired with  Bridgeware,  enable
     planners to consider both  materials and capacity  constraints  at the same
     time in  building  their  production  plans.  Execution  level  support  is
     provided  through  functions  that include  cycle  counting  functionality,
     physical  inventory  capabilities  and  on-hand  availability.  Lot Control
     enables  companies  to  track  raw  materials,   sub-assemblies  and  final
     assemblies to their origin.

4.   Production   Management   facilitates  the   coordination,   execution  and
     monitoring  of the  manufacturing  process.  Job orders drive  material and
     production  requirements and track jobs through the production process. Job
     orders  identify the part number,  the bill of material,  the routing,  the
     status and the job packet  (i.e.,  the set of  instructions,  diagrams  and
     photographs  required to manufacture  the part).  Actual material and labor
     costs are tracked to jobs during the production  process,  typically  using
     bar coding technology.

5.   Quality  Management   capabilities  help   manufacturers   conform  to  the
     requirements of their customers.  Through our  relationship  with Powerway,
     Inc.,  Made2Manage  offers tools to help  achieve and maintain  ISO9000 and
     other quality standards  compliance  through document  authoring,  document
     management, and statistical process control software tools.

6.   Financial  Management is fully  integrated  with the other functions of the
     Made2Manage  system.  Up-to-date records of income,  expenses and financial
     commitments  flow  through the  product's  extensive  library of  financial
     reports.  Standard features include Accounts Receivable,  Accounts Payable,
     Cash Flow Forecasting and Job Order Costing.  The General Ledger integrates
     the monetary flow from all aspects of Made2Manage.  "Drill-down"  features,
     available  throughout the product,  finely detail many areas,  such as cost
     attributes of work in process, inventory and product shipped.



                                       2
<PAGE>




7.   Human Resources  applications  include payroll and personnel  tracking that
     integrate  Made2Manage with  applications from leading providers ADP(R) and
     Best Software.  The interface to ADP provides users who prefer to outsource
     payroll with an alternative that minimizes double data entry. For customers
     who prefer to manage their own payroll internally,  Made2Manage offers Best
     Software's Abra(R) as well as their Human Resources applications.

Made2Manage also incorporates decision support. The Executive Information System
provides  management with a tool to promote high level planning.  Executives are
able to obtain  an  overview  of their  entire  business,  with  automatic  data
retrieval from sales, production and finance.  Performance and exception results
are  generated in report or graphical  format,  and can be easily  customized or
exported to spreadsheets, word processors and other business tools.

As a  result  of our  focus  on the  user,  Made2Manage  contains  communication
capabilities  that we believe are unique in the industry.  Notifier(R)  monitors
the  manufacturer's  system,  detects the  occurrence  of  specified  events and
automatically  sends appropriate  messages via e-mail,  fax or pop-up message to
customers,  employees or vendors.  Locator is used to find information with very
little  effort and a minimum  of  information.  By  knowing  only a portion of a
customer name, part number or customer purchase order number, a Made2Manage user
can use Locator to find and  determine the status of a quote,  sales order,  job
order or purchase  order.  Navigator is designed to assist  novice or infrequent
users,  providing a visual  representation of the entire  Made2Manage system and
the relationship of the system components.  Made2Manage  Explorer is a graphical
tool that allows users to quickly identify  problems using graphical  indicators
and  drill  down  to  perform  root  cause  analysis.  We  also  offer  Internet
applications designed to enhance information flow among employees, customers and
vendors, including a report agent, a sales order status view, a customer service
component and an application for improving communication with vendors.

Product Development

We  seek  to  enhance  our  competitive  position  by  incorporating  additional
functionality  in Made2Manage to meet the evolving needs of manufacturers in our
target market.  Product  enhancement  ideas  originate from existing  customers,
prospective  customers and industry trend analysis.  Input is collected  through
surveys, interviews, user groups and customer service and support activities. We
analyze this input and identify changes for future product releases. Our product
development personnel have experience in software development, quality assurance
and documentation and are familiar with the specific business areas addressed by
the changes.

Our  development  methodology   incorporates   comprehensive  quality  assurance
procedures.  A substantial  component of our development  budget is allocated to
quality  assurance.  Our testing  processes  include component level tests, unit
tests, posting tests, validation tests, regression tests, installation tests, CD
tests and production tests. We maintain risk assessment documents throughout the
development  process to identify  potential  roadblocks  to a timely and quality
release early enough to allow corrective action.  Criterion-based (as opposed to
date-based) release guidelines help insure consistent release quality.

Our product development  expenditures were $4.1 million in 1998, $2.3 million in
1997 and $1.7 million in 1996. Development costs were expensed as incurred.

Software  design and development is a complicated  process,  and there can be no
assurance that we will be able to complete features and products currently under
development  in a timely  manner or to develop  features and products  that find
market acceptance in the future.

Service and Support

We offer a full  complement of services that allow our customers to maximize the
benefits  that they receive  from using  Made2Manage,  including  implementation
assistance using our Keystone Implementation  Methodology,  customer support and
education programs.



                                       3
<PAGE>



The Keystone Implementation Methodology

Implementation  assistance  is provided by our  employees,  VARs and  Authorized
Service  Providers,  all of whom are certified in  Made2Manage  and our Keystone
Implementation Methodology.  The Keystone Implementation Methodology consists of
the following steps:

o    Planning:  We assist the  customer  in  assigning  tasks to the  customer's
     project  team  members  and  creating  a  Made2Manage   implementation  and
     education plan.

o    Education:  We offer  courses to instruct the project team and key users in
     fundamentals   of   Made2Manage   as  well  as  successful   implementation
     techniques.

o    Conference  Room  Modeling:  We assist  the  customer  in  building a pilot
     implementation  to simulate live operation.  This technique  reinforces and
     validates decisions and processes adopted during the implementation.

o    Operational Development:  We assist the customer in developing policies and
     procedures  for  a  smooth   conversion  to   Made2Manage,   including  the
     development of a final conversion plan.

o    User Training and Live Operation: We employ a "train-the-trainer"  approach
     with the  customer and provides  direction  for detailed  training so users
     become proficient with  Made2Manage.  Feedback from these training sessions
     is used to make  final  adjustments  to the  implementation  prior  to live
     operation.

o    Follow-Up:  After  implementation,  we review the customer's system and may
     recommend adjustments and additional training.

Customer Support

We provide  ongoing  product  support  services under our support  arrangements.
Support services are typically purchased by customers for a one-year term at the
time of entering  into the sales  agreement,  and may be renewed for  additional
annual periods.  Support services include telephone support,  electronic support
through  our  Internet-based  SmartLink(TM)  knowledgebase  and case  management
system, and periodic software updates.

Education Programs

Classroom education courses are offered for each of the major user roles present
in a small and midsize manufacturing business.  These courses are offered at our
corporate offices, at regional locations and on-site at the customer's facility.
Each course includes hands-on exercises using the software in the context of the
user's typical workflow.

Competition

The business management  applications  software market is fragmented,  intensely
competitive and rapidly  changing.  We face  competition  from a large number of
independent software vendors,  including application software vendors,  software
tool vendors and relational database management system vendors. The technologies
we  use to  develop  Made2Manage  are  generally  available  and  widely  known,
including  technology  developed by  Microsoft.  In addition,  several  software
companies that have traditionally  marketed ERP systems to larger  manufacturers
have  announced  initiatives  to market ERP  systems  to midsize  manufacturers.
Compared  to us,  many of our  existing  competitors,  as well  as a  number  of
potential  competitors,  have  significantly  greater  financial,  technical and
marketing resources and a larger base of customers.


                                       4
<PAGE>




Made2Manage  competes with other  products  principally  on the basis that it is
specifically designed for small and midsize manufacturers, is relatively easy to
implement  and use, and is supported by a  well-developed  system of service and
support.  In addition,  we believe that  advanced  features  for  messaging  and
Internet  access  differentiate  Made2Manage.  We also believe that  Made2Manage
competes favorably with the products offered by competitors, but there can be no
assurance  that we will continue to compete  favorably  against such products or
that we will be able to compete successfully against future competitors.

Intellectual Property

We regard our software products as proprietary in that title to and ownership of
the software we develop resides  exclusively with Made2Manage  Systems,  Inc. We
rely largely upon our license agreements with customers,  dealer agreements with
suppliers,  our own software  protection tools,  confidentiality  agreements and
employee  agreements to maintain the trade secret  aspects of our  products.  We
seek to protect our programs,  documentation  and other written  materials under
copyright law.

We have U.S. patent  applications  pending for software  included in Made2Manage
related  to  the  Material  Requirements  Planning  regeneration  feature  and a
navigational  interface for the  enterprise.  We have no other patents or patent
applications.

We believe that we have all necessary  rights to market our  products,  although
there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims
in the future.

Employees

As of December 31, 1998,  we had 239  employees,  consisting  of 67 in sales and
marketing,  68 in product development,  74 in services and 30 in administration.
Each employee signs a confidentiality  and nondisclosure  agreement upon joining
Made2Manage Systems, Inc. We believe our employee relations to be good.

(1) The income tax benefit  for 1996  results  from the  reversal of a valuation
    allowance  that had been  established  to offset  future tax benefits of net
    operating loss  carryforwards.  The valuation  allowance was reversed during
    1996  based  on  management's   analysis  which  considered  our  profitable
    operating  results and future  outlook  because of the market  acceptance of
    Made2Manage. As a result of this analysis, management determined it was more
    likely than not that the deferred  income taxes at December 31, 1996,  would
    be  realized.  For  subsequent  periods we have  provided  for income  taxes
    utilizing federal and state statutory income tax rates.
(2) On December 19, 1997,  we completed  our initial  public  offering of common
    stock. We received net proceeds of $15.5 million,  of which $1.0 million was
    used to repay outstanding indebtedness.

ITEM 7. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations.

This report contains certain "forward-looking  statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended.  These statements  reflect our  expectations  regarding our
strategic plans,  future growth,  results of operations,  performance,  business
prospects   and   opportunities.   Words  such  as,   "estimates,"   "believes,"
"anticipates,"  "plans" and similar  expressions  may be used to identify  these
forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying these
statements.  These  statements  reflect  our  current  beliefs  and are based on
information currently available to us. Accordingly, these statements are subject
to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our
actual growth, results,  performance and business prospects and opportunities to
differ from those expressed in, or implied by, these statements. In light of the
uncertainties  inherent in any  forward-looking  statement  the  inclusion  of a
forward-looking  statement herein should not be regarded as a representation  by
us that the our plans and objectives will be achieved.  Actual results or events
could differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements
for the reasons discussed in this section, in the "Business Environment and Risk
Factors" section below, and elsewhere in this report,  or for other reasons.  We
are not  obligated  to update  or revise  these  forward-looking  statements  to
reflect new events or circumstances or otherwise.

Overview

We  develop,  market,  license and support  Made2Manage,  an open  architecture,
standards-based,  client/server  ERP  software  solution  for small and  midsize
manufacturers  engaged in engineer-to-order,  make-to-order,  assemble-to-order,
make-to-stock  and mixed styles of production.  We have developed  manufacturing
software  applications  for this market since our  inception in 1986.  Our first
generation of  Made2Manage,  designed for PC networks  running the DOS operating
system on Novell  networks,  was  introduced  in 1988,  and we introduced a UNIX
version of Made2Manage in 1990. We continue to support our existing DOS and UNIX
customers,  but ceased  offering the DOS and UNIX  versions to new  customers in
1995 and 1994, respectively. As of December 31, 1998, 268 DOS and UNIX customers
had upgraded to the Windows version of Made2Manage for significantly  discounted
license fees.

During 1998 we acquired Bridgeware, Inc., a company that offers advance planning
and scheduling  software,  for a combination of cash and common stock. The total
cost of the acquisition was $4.5 million.  In connection with this  acquisition,
we recorded a $1.9 million in-process  technology charge. The remaining costs of
the  acquisition  are recorded as assets and are  expected to be amortized  over
lives of five and seven years.

Our revenues are derived from software licenses, services and hardware. Software
revenues  are  generated  from  licensing  software to new  customers,  from the
conversion of existing DOS or UNIX  customers to the Windows  version,  and from
current customers increasing the number of licensed users and from licensing new
applications.  We recognize revenue from software license fees and hardware upon
shipment to the  customer  following  execution  of a sales  agreement.  Service
revenues are  generated  from annual fees paid by  customers to receive  support
services  and  software  upgrades and also from  implementation,  education  and
consulting services. Support is typically purchased as part of the initial sales
agreement and is renewable  annually.  Support fees are recognized  ratably over
the term of the agreement.  Service revenues from implementation,  education and
consulting  services  are  generally  included  in  the  initial  agreement.  We
recognize  revenue from these services as they are performed.  Hardware revenues
are  generated  primarily  from  the  sale of  bar-coding  and  data  collection
equipment used in connection with  Made2Manage and constitute a relatively small
component of total revenues.

Software  revenues  for a  particular  quarter  depend  substantially  on orders
received and products shipped in that quarter. Furthermore,  large orders may be
significant  to  operating  income in the  quarter  in which  the  corresponding
revenue is recognized.

Comparisons of Years Ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996

Revenues

Revenues are derived from software  license  fees,  service and support fees and
hardware sales.  Total revenues  increased by $11.1 million,  or 68.5%, to $27.2
million in 1998 from $16.2  million in 1997.  Total  revenues  increased by $6.8
million, or 72.4%, in 1997 from $9.4 million in 1996. The increase was primarily
due to a greater volume of license transactions, an increase in average contract
size,  sales of new  software  modules,  an  increase  in market  awareness  and
acceptance  of  Made2Manage   and  an  expansion  of  our  sales  and  marketing
organizations.  Revenues were also  positively  impacted by the  acquisition  of
Bridgeware which  contributed  $600,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. We
have not  historically  recognized  significant  annual revenues from any single
customer.

Software  Revenues.  Software revenues  increased by $5.9 million,  or 57.4%, to
$16.1 million in 1998 from $10.2 million in 1997 and by $4.1 million,  or 66.9%,
in 1997 from $6.1 million in 1996. Software license revenues  constituted 59.2%,
63.4% and 65.4% of total  revenues  in 1998,  1997 and 1996,  respectively.  The
increases in software  license revenues in 1998 and 1997 were primarily due to a
greater volume of license  transactions  and, to a lesser  extent,  increases in
average  contract  size.  The  decreases  in the  percentage  of total  revenues
represented  by software  revenue  resulted  from the greater  rate of growth in
services revenues.

<PAGE>




Services  Revenues.  Services revenues  increased by $5.0 million,  or 94.1%, to
$10.3 million in 1998 from $5.3 million in 1997 and by $2.3  million,  or 76.8%,
in 1997 from $3.0 million in 1996. These revenues  constituted  37.8%, 32.8% and
32.0% of total revenues in 1998, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  The increases in
the revenues  recognized  were due to (i)  increased  support fees from a larger
user base, (ii) greater  utilization by customers of implementation,  consulting
and customization  services offerings and (iii) delivery of expanded educational
offerings.

Hardware  Revenues.  Hardware  revenues  increased  by  $210,000,  or 34.0%,  to
$827,000 in 1998 from $617,000 in 1997 and by $376,000,  or 156.0%, in 1997 from
$241,000  in  1996.  These  revenues  constituted  3.0%,  3.8% and 2.6% of total
revenues in 1998, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  The hardware  equipment sold is
bar-coding and data collection  equipment  necessary to utilize certain features
of Made2Manage.  The increases in 1998 and 1997 were due to increased demand for
this  equipment  as a result of  continued  expansion of the number of customers
using our software.

Costs of Revenues

Costs of Software  Revenues.  Costs of software  revenues  totaled $1.0 million,
$569,000 and $599,000 in 1998, 1997 and 1996,  respectively,  resulting in gross
profits  of 93.7%,  94.4%  and 90.2% of  software  revenues,  respectively.  The
decrease in the gross profit in 1998 was due to a greater  proportion of revenue
generated from third-party  products.  The increases in the gross profit in 1998
and 1997 compared to 1996 were due to pricing changes for certain  software that
we resell.

Amortization  of Purchased  Technology.  This  expense of $164,000  results from
amortizing the value assigned to Bridgeware technology and is being amortized on
a straight-line basis over five years.

Costs of Services  Revenues.  Costs of services  revenues  totaled $5.6 million,
$3.3 million and $1.8 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, resulting in
gross profits of 45.2%, 36.8% and 41.2% of service revenues,  respectively.  The
cost increases  were due primarily to the growth in our installed  customer base
and  related  support  services  revenue,  which  resulted in an increase in the
staffing  levels  for  technical  support,  implementation,   customization  and
education  services.  The increase in gross profits in 1998 compared to 1997 was
due to one-time costs  incurred in 1997 to develop  customer  requirements.  The
decline in the gross  profits in 1997  compared  to 1996 was a result of the one
time  customer  requirements  costs  in 1997  and an  increasing  proportion  of
implementation and education services revenue relative to support revenue.

Costs of Hardware. Costs of hardware totaled $558,000,  $419,000 and $164,000 in
1998,  1997 and 1996,  respectively.  The gross profit from  hardware was 32.5%,
32.1% and 32.0% of hardware revenues in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Operating Expenses

Sales and Marketing  Expenses.  Sales and marketing  expenses were $9.9 million,
$6.5 million and $3.3 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, representing
36.2%, 40.5% and 35.0% of total revenues,  respectively.  The increases in sales
and marketing  expenses  were  primarily due to increased (i) staffing for sales
and  marketing,  (ii)  commissions  as a result of  increased  software  license
revenues, (iii) marketing activities, including promotional activities, and (iv)
travel expenses  related to sales and marketing  efforts.  The decrease in sales
and  marketing as a percent of revenue in 1998  compared to 1997 was a result of
greater  productivity.  The increase in sales and marketing expense as a percent
of revenue in 1997 compared to 1996 was due to increased commission expenses and
travel expenses.

Product Development  Expenses.  Product  development  expenses were $4.1 million
$2.3 million and $1.7 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, representing
15.1%,  14.4% and 18.3% of total revenues,  respectively.  We did not capitalize
any software  development  costs during  these  years,  since the  capitalizable
portion  was  not  significant.  The  Windows  version  of the  Made2Manage  was
initially released in late 1995. Product  development  expenses increased during
each of the years, but decrease in relation to revenue in 1997 and 1998 compared
to 1996.  We expect  product  development  costs will  continue  to  increase in
proportion to the increase in revenues.

General and Administrative  Expenses.  General and administrative  expenses were
$3.3  million,   $1.9  million  and  $1.2  million  in  1998,   1997  and  1996,
respectively,   representing   12.1%,   12.0%  and  12.3%  of  total   revenues,
respectively.  The expense  increases  resulted  primarily from additional costs
incurred  to support the growth of  operations  and,  to a lesser  extent,  as a
result of the addition of personnel.

Amortization  of Acquired  Intangibles.  This  expense of $125,000  results from
amortizing  excess cost over net assets acquired and assemble  workforce related
to the acquisition of Bridgeware.

Acquired In-Process  Technology.  This charge of $1.9 million is a result of the
amounts assigned to in-process  technology in connection with the acquisition of
Bridgeware.

On a pro  forma  basis,  exclusive  of the  Bridgeware  acquisition  charge  for
in-process  technology and amortization of purchase  related assets,  results of
operations would be comparatively reported as follows.

</TABLE>

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other  income  (expense),  net was  $579,000  of income in 1998 and  $35,000 and
$122,000 of expense in 1997 and 1996, respectively, representing 2.1%, (.2)% and
(1.3)%  of  total  revenues,  respectively.  Other  income  in 1998  principally
reflects  interest earned on the proceeds of our initial public offering,  which
was  completed  in  December  1997.  The other  expense in 1997 was  principally
interest on  borrowings,  which were  subsequently  repaid from  proceeds of the
initial public offering.  The decrease in other expense in 1997 compared to 1996
was due  primarily to repayment of  indebtedness  with a high  interest  rate in
March 1997 and increased income from investments.

Income Tax Provision (Benefit)

The income tax provision  effective  rate was 33.8%,  excluding  the  in-process
research  technology  charge,  in 1998 and 37.4% in 1997.  The effective rate is
lower for 1998 compared to 1997 due to the impact of tax free interest  included
in other income (expense),  net, offset,  in part, by non-deductible  intangible
assets  amortization in 1998. The acquired  in-process  technology charge is not
deductible  for income tax purposes.  Net income for the year ended December 31,
1996 includes an income tax benefit of $1.2 million  resulting from the reversal
of the  valuation  allowance  which had been  established  to offset  future tax
benefits  of  net  operating  loss  carryforwards.   See  Note  7  of  Notes  to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Year 2000 Compliance

The Year 2000 issue relates to whether computer systems will properly  recognize
and  process  information  relating  to dates in and after the year 2000.  These
systems  could  fail or produce  erroneous  results  if they  cannot  adequately
process  dates  beyond  the  year  1999  and  are  not  corrected.   Significant
uncertainty   exists  in  the  software   industry   concerning   the  potential
consequences that may result from the failure of software to adequately  address
the Year 2000 issue.

The Year 2000 issue potentially impacts us in the following principal areas: (i)
software  products,  including  third party  products we resell;  (ii)  internal
technology systems;  (iii) noninternal  technology systems that contain embedded
computer devices; and (iv) the business systems of resellers and key suppliers.

Software  Products.  We continuously test newly developed software for Year 2000
compliance  and, as of this date, are not aware of any problems  related to Year
2000 compliance for software products we are currently distributing.  Our legacy
DOS and  UNIX  products  are not  Year  2000  compliant  and no  further  sales,
distribution or development of these products are, to the our knowledge,  taking
place. We notified  customers of these prior versions in 1996, and subsequently,
of this  non-compliance  and  customers  were offered  significantly  discounted
pricing  and  implementation  assistance  to  migrate to the  current  Year 2000
compliant  Windows  version.  We  are  requesting  certification  of  Year  2000
compliance  from  providers  of  third  party  products  that  we  resell.   The
certification is expected to be completed by the end of March 1999.

Internal  Technology  Systems.  We utilize a combination of our own software and
other commercially available software for our internal operations. At this time,
we believe that there will be no significant costs associated with the Year 2000
issue  for  internal  operations.  We are not  presently  aware of any Year 2000
issues that have been  encountered by a third-party  provider whose services are
critical to us. We intend to complete an evaluation of providers with respect to
Year  2000  compliance  by the  end of  March  1999.  At the  completion  of the
assessment  we will develop a contingency  plan,  if  necessary,  to address any
issues.

Noninternal Technology Systems.  Noninternal technology systems include security
systems,  elevators  and other  systems  that  contain an  embedded  computer or
computer-like  device that is used to control the  operation  of  machinery  and
equipment.  We are in the process of assessing  whether  there are any Year 2000
Problems with noninternal  technology systems.  The assessment is expected to be
completed by the end of March 1999. At the  completion of the assessment we will
develop a contingency plan, if necessary, to address any issues.

Third Party  Resellers  and Key  Suppliers.  We are  inquiring  of theYear  2000
readiness of our resellers and key suppliers.  Our  investigation is expected to
be completed  by the end of March 1999.  No one  reseller is  responsible  for a
material amount of the our license fees.

Although,  based on our  on-going  evaluations,  we do not believe the Year 2000
will have a significant  impact on internal  operations or on our  Windows-based
software  developed  by us for  customers,  there  can be no  assurance  for any
company or industry,  that interruptions of operations will not occur because of
Year 2000 issues or that we will not become  involved in disputes with customers
regarding Year 2000 issues involving licensed software.

Inflation

We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our operations.

Accounting Pronouncements

In  October  1997,  the  American  Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants
("AICPA")  issued  Statement  of  Position  ("SOP")  97-2,   "Software   Revenue
Recognition."  SOP 97-2 was  effective for  transactions  entered into in fiscal
years  beginning  after  December  15,  1997.   Therefore,   SOP  97-2  affected
transactions  entered  beginning  January 1, 1998.  SOP 97-2  addresses  various
aspects of the  recognition  of revenue on software  arrangements  which include
multiple  elements,  and supersedes  SOP 91-1. In accordance  with SOP 97-2, the
revenue for an individual  element of a software  arrangement is allocated based
on the  relative  fair  market  value of that  element as  compared to the total
price.  Revenue is  recognized  on each  element as that element is performed or
completed.  SOP 97-2  did not  have a  material  effect  upon  our  Consolidated
Financial Statements.

In  February  1998,  the AICPA  issued  SOP 98-1,  "Accounting  for the Costs of
Computer Software  Developed or Obtained for Internal use." SOP 98-1 establishes
the  accounting  for costs of  software  products  developed  or  purchased  for
internal use, including when such costs should be capitalized.  We do not expect
SOP 98-1,  which is  effective  for the Company  beginning  January 1, 1999,  to
materially affect our financial position or results of operations.

In December 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-9, "Modification of SOP 97-2, Software
Revenue  Recognition,  With Respect to Certain  Transactions," which will retain
the  limitation  of SOP  97-2  on what  constitutes  vendor  specific  objective
evidence of fair value. SOP 98-9 will be effective for transaction  entered into
in fiscal  years  beginning  after March 15,  1999.  We believe that our current
revenue recognition  policies and practices are consistent with the provision of
the new guidance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have funded  operations to date primarily  through equity capital,  including
the initial  public  offering of common  stock in December  1997,  debt and cash
generated  from  operations.  As of December 31, 1998,  we had $16.6  million of
cash, cash equivalents and investments  resulting  principally from the proceeds
of our initial public offering.

Cash flows from operations were $5.4 million, $2.3 million and $560,000 in 1998,
1997  and  1996,  respectively.  During  1998 we used  $3.5  million  of cash in
connection  with the  acquisition of  Bridgeware.  Other cash usage included the
purchase of computer equipment and office furniture and aggregated $2.5 million,
$1.4 million and $584,000 in 1998, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  During 1998 we
received  $282,000  from the  exercise of stock  options and  purchase of common
stock under the Stock  Purchase  Plan and realized tax benefits of $211,000 from
stock option exercises.  Subsequent to the acquisition of Bridgeware,  we repaid
$111,000  of  outstanding  Bridgeware  indebtedness.  Net  borrowings  decreased
$793,000  in 1997  principally  as a  result  of the  repayment  of  outstanding
indebtedness  using the proceeds of the initial public offering.  Net borrowings
increased by $129,000 in 1996 to fund purchases of property and equipment.

At  December  31,  1998,  we had  working  capital  of $14.5  million.  Accounts
receivable,  net of allowance for doubtful  accounts,  was $9.1 million and $5.8
million at  December  31,  1998 and 1997,  respectively.  The  average  accounts
receivable  days'  outstanding was 87 days at December 31, 1998, and 102 days as
of December 31, 1997. Deferred revenue increased to $8.8 million at December 31,
1998,  from $4.9  million at December  31, 1997.  Deferred  revenue  principally
relates to support agreements or contracted services, and the current portion of
deferred  revenue is expected to be recognized in revenue during the next twelve
months.  Deferred  revenue  increased  as a result  of an  increased  number  of
contracts that included  service fees,  which are deferred until  provided,  and
support  agreements  for multiple  years of support,  which are  recognized on a
straight-line basis over the support period.

We have a revolving  credit  agreement  with a commercial  bank which expires on
July 1, 1999,  borrowings under which bear interest at the prime rate (7.75 % at
December 31, 1998).  Loans under the revolving credit agreement are limited,  in
the aggregate,  to the lesser of $1 million and a "borrowing base" amount. As of
December 31,  1998,  we  satisfied  the  borrowing  base  requirements  and were
eligible to borrow up to the maximum of $1.0 million. We have not borrowed under
the revolving line of credit.


                                       14
<PAGE>




We believe that cash and cash equivalents,  cash flow from operations and credit
commitments will be sufficient to meet our currently anticipated working capital
and capital expenditure requirements at least through 1999.

Business Environment and Risk Factors

Fluctuations of Quarterly Operating Results; Seasonality

We have  experienced  in the past,  and  expect  to  experience  in the  future,
significant  fluctuations in quarterly  operating results. A substantial portion
of our  software  license  revenue in each quarter is from  licenses  signed and
product  shipped  in that  quarter,  and such  revenues  historically  have been
recorded  largely  in the third  month of a  quarter,  with a  concentration  of
revenues mostly in the last week of that third month. Accordingly, our quarterly
results of operations are difficult to predict,  and delays in closings of sales
near the end of a quarter or product  delivery  could cause  quarterly  revenues
and, to a greater degree, net income to fall substantially  short of anticipated
levels.  In addition,  we have  experienced a seasonal  pattern in our operating
results, with the fourth quarter typically having the highest total revenues and
operating  income  and the first  quarter  having  historically  reported  lower
revenues and operating  income  compared to the fourth  quarter of the preceding
year.

Other  factors,  many of which are beyond our control,  that may  contribute  to
fluctuations  in  quarterly  operating  results  include the size of  individual
orders,  the  timing of  product  introductions  or  enhancements  by us and our
competitors,  competition and pricing in the  manufacturing  software  industry,
market  acceptance of new products,  reduction in demand for existing  products,
the  shortening of product life cycles as a result of new product  introductions
by  us  or  our  competitors,   product  quality  problems,  personnel  changes,
conditions  or  events  in the  manufacturing  industry,  and  general  economic
conditions.

The sales cycle for  Made2Manage  typically  ranges  from three to nine  months.
However,  license  signing may be delayed for a number of reasons outside of our
control.  Since  software is generally  shipped as orders are received,  we have
historically operated without significant backlog.

Because our operating  expenses are based on  anticipated  revenue  levels and a
high  percentage of our expenses are relatively  fixed in the short term,  small
variations  in the  timing  of  revenue  recognition  can  cause  a  significant
fluctuation  in  operating  results  from  quarter to quarter  and may result in
unanticipated quarterly earnings shortfalls or losses. In addition, we currently
intend to increase operating expenses in anticipation of continued growth and to
fund expanded product development  efforts. To the extent such expenses precede,
or are not subsequently followed by, increased revenues, our business, financial
condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Product and Market Concentration

Our  revenues are  currently  derived from  licenses of  Made2Manage,  including
optional  modules,  licensing of Bridgeware's  Advanced  Planning and Scheduling
products and third-party software,  and related support,  services and hardware.
In the near term,  Made2Manage and related  services are expected to continue to
account for substantially all of the our revenues.  Accordingly,  any event that
adversely  affects  the sale of  Made2Manage,  such as  competition  from  other
products,  significant  quality  problems,   incompatibility  with  third  party
hardware or software products, negative publicity or evaluation,  reduced market
acceptance  of, or  obsolescence  of the  hardware  platforms  on,  or  software
environments  in,  which  Made2Manage  operates,  could have a material  adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business depends  substantially upon the software  expenditures of small and
midsize   manufacturers,   which  in  part  depend  upon  the  demand  for  such
manufacturers'   products.   A  recession  or  other  adverse  event   affecting
manufacturing  industries in the United States could impact such demand, forcing
manufacturers in our target market to curtail or postpone  capital  expenditures
for business  information systems. Any adverse change in the amount or timing of
software  expenditures  by our target  customers  could have a material  adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


                                       15
<PAGE>




Dependence on Third Party Technologies

Made2Manage  uses a variety of third  party  technologies,  including  operating
systems,  tools and other  applications  developed  and  supported  by Microsoft
Corporation  ("Microsoft").  There  can  be no  assurance  that  Microsoft  will
continue to support the operating systems, tools and other applications utilized
by  Made2Manage  or that they will continue to be widely  accepted in our target
market.  Made2Manage  relies heavily on Microsoft's Visual Studio, and there can
be no assurance that Microsoft will not discontinue or otherwise fail to support
Visual Studio or any of its  components.  In addition,  we use a number of other
programming  tools and  applications,  including  ActiveX,  OLE, ODBC, OLEDB and
Internet Information Server.

We sublicense various third party products,  including  Microsoft Visual FoxPro,
Microsoft Project, products from Powerway, Best Software, FRx and EC Company and
bar code hardware and software. There can be no assurance that these third party
vendors will continue to support these  technologies or that these  technologies
will retain their level of acceptance among  manufacturers in our target market.
The  occurrence of any of these events could have a material  adverse  effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Product Development

Our growth and future financial  performance  depend in part upon our ability to
enhance  existing  applications and to develop and introduce new applications to
incorporate   technological  advances  that  satisfy  customer  requirements  or
expectations.  As a result of the complexities  inherent in product development,
there  can  be  no  assurance  that  either   improvements   to  Made2Manage  or
applications  that we develop in the future will be  delivered on a timely basis
or ultimately accepted in the market. Any failure by us to anticipate or respond
adequately  to  technological  development  or  end-user  requirements,  or  any
significant  delays in product  development  or  introduction,  could damage our
competitive  position  and  have a  material  adverse  effect  on our  business,
financial condition and results of operations.

Dependence on Key Personnel

Our success  depends to a  significant  extent  upon a number of key  employees,
including members of senior management.  No employee is subject to an employment
contract. Our ability to implement business strategy is substantially  dependent
on our ability to attract,  on a timely  basis,  and retain  skilled  personnel,
especially sales, service,  support and development  personnel.  Competition for
such  personnel  is intense,  and we compete for such  personnel  with  numerous
companies,  including  larger,  more  established  companies with  significantly
greater  financial  resources.  There  can  be no  assurance  that  we  will  be
successful  in  attracting  and  retaining  skilled  personnel.  The loss of the
services  of one or more of the key  employees  or the  failure to  attract  and
retain qualified employees could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

Management of Growth; International Expansion

We have experienced  rapid growth in our business and operations.  While we have
managed this growth to date,  there can be no assurance  that we will be able to
effectively do so in the future.  Our ability to manage growth  successfully  is
contingent on a number of factors including our ability to implement and improve
operational,  financial and management  information  systems and to motivate and
effectively  manage  employees.  While  in the long  term we plan to  distribute
Made2Manage  in  international  markets,  we have no  significant  experience in
international  markets and there can be no assurance  that such expansion can be
successfully accomplished. If we are unable to manage future growth effectively,
our business,  financial condition and results of operations would be materially
and adversely affected.


                                       16
<PAGE>




Risks Associated with Acquisitions

As part of our business strategy, we expect to review acquisition prospects that
would  complement our existing  product  offerings,  augment market  coverage or
enhance   technological   capabilities   or  that  may  otherwise  offer  growth
opportunities.  Acquisitions  could result in potentially  dilutive issuances of
equity  securities,  the  incurrence  of  debt  and  contingent  liabilities  or
amortization  expenses related to goodwill and other intangible  assets,  any of
which could materially  adversely  affect operating  results and/or the price of
our common stock.  Acquisitions entail numerous risks, including difficulties in
the assimilation of acquired operations, technologies and products, diversion of
management's  attention from other business concerns,  risks of entering markets
in  which we have no or  limited  prior  experience  and  potential  loss of key
employees of acquired organizations. No assurance can be given as to our ability
to successfully  integrate any businesses,  products,  technologies or personnel
that might be acquired  in the future,  and the failure of to do so could have a
material  adverse  effect on our business and financial  condition or results of
operations.

Insufficient Customer Commitment

To obtain the  benefits  of  Made2Manage,  customers  must commit  resources  to
implement and manage the product and to train their  employees in the use of the
product.  The failure of customers to commit sufficient resources to those tasks
or to carry them out effectively could result in customer  dissatisfaction  with
Made2Manage.  If a  significant  number of customers  became  dissatisfied,  our
reputation could be tarnished and our business,  financial condition and results
of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Competition

The business management  applications software market is intensely  competitive,
rapidly changing and  significantly  affected by new product offerings and other
market  activities.  We face  competition  from a variety of  software  vendors,
including  application  software  vendors,  software tool vendors and relational
database  management  systems  vendors.  A number  of  companies  offer  Windows
compatible  products  that are  directed  at the  market  for ERP  systems.  The
technologies we use to develop  Made2Manage  are generally  available and widely
known and include technologies developed by Microsoft. There can be no assurance
that  competitors  will not develop  products based on the same  technology upon
which Made2Manage is based.

Our competitors  include a large number of software and system vendors,  many of
which are public  companies.  In  addition,  there are  numerous  international,
national and regional vendors that offer alternative  systems.  Several software
companies that have traditionally  marketed ERP systems to larger  manufacturers
have  announced  initiatives  to market ERP  systems  to midsize  manufacturers.
Compared  to us,  many of the  existing  competitors,  as well  as a  number  of
potential  competitors,  have  significantly  greater  financial,  technical and
marketing  resources and a larger  installed base of customers.  There can be no
assurance  that such  competitors  will not offer or develop  products  that are
superior to  Made2Manage  or that achieve  greater  market  acceptance.  If such
competition were to result in significant price declines or loss of market share
for  Made2Manage,  our  business,  financial  condition and results of operation
would be adversely affected.

Relationships with Value Added Resellers

We distribute our software  products  through a direct sales force and a network
of value  added  resellers  ("VARs").  A  significant  portion  of  licenses  of
Made2Manage  sold to new  customers is sold by VARs.  If some or all of the VARs
reduce  their  efforts  to  sell  Made2Manage,  promote  competing  products  or
terminate their  relationships  with us, our business,  financial  condition and
results of operation  would be materially and adversely  affected.  Furthermore,
VARs frequently develop strong  relationships  with their customers,  so if VARs
criticize  us or our  products  to  their  customers,  our  reputation  could be
damaged,  which could have a material adverse effect on our business,  financial
condition or results of operations.

Product Liability and Lack of Insurance

We market,  sell and support  software  products used by manufacturers to manage
their business  operations and to store  substantially  all of their operational
data.  Software  programs  as complex as those we offer may  contain  undetected
errors,  despite  testing , which are discovered only after the product has been
installed and used by customers.  There can be no assurance that errors will not
be found in existing or future  releases of our software or that any such errors
will not impair the market  acceptance of these  products.  A customer  could be
required to cease operations  temporarily and some or all of its key operational
data could be lost or damaged if its  information  systems fail as the result of
human error, mechanical difficulties or quality problems in Made2Manage or third
party technologies  utilized by Made2Manage.  We have insurance covering product
liability or damages arising from negligent acts, errors, mistakes or omissions;
however there can be no assurance that this insurance will be adequate.  A claim
against us, if successful and of a sufficient  magnitude,  could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Dependence on Proprietary Rights; Risk of Infringement

We rely  primarily on a  combination  of trade  secret,  copyright and trademark
laws,  nondisclosure  agreements and other contractual  provisions and technical
measures to protect our proprietary rights. There can be no assurance that these
protections will be adequate or that competitors will not independently  develop
products incorporating  technology that is substantially  equivalent or superior
to  our  technology.  Furthermore,  other  than  pending  United  States  patent
applications  for  software  included  in  Made2Manage  related to the  Material
Requirements Planning regeneration feature and a navigational  interface for the
enterprise,  the we have no patents or patent applications pending, and existing
copyright laws afford only limited  protection.  In the event that we are unable
to protect our proprietary rights, our business, financial condition and results
of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

There  can be no  assurance  that we will  not be  subject  to  claims  that our
technology  infringes on the  intellectual  property of third  parties,  that we
would  prevail  against any such claims or that a  licensing  agreement  will be
available on reasonable terms in the event of an unfavorable  ruling on any such
claim. Any such claim, with or without merit, would likely be time consuming and
expensive to defend and could have a material  adverse  effect on our  business,
financial condition and results of operations.

Substantial Control by Single Shareholder

As of March 1, 1999,  Hambrecht & Quist ("H&Q") and its affiliates,  as a group,
beneficially  owned  approximately  21.4% of our outstanding  common stock. As a
result,  H&Q and its affiliates will be able to exercise  significant  influence
over all matters  requiring  shareholder  approval,  including  the  election of
directors and approval of significant corporate  transactions.  Concentration of
stock ownership could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in
control.

Effect of Antitakeover Provisions

Our Amended and Restated  Articles of Incorporation  (the "Articles")  authorize
the Board of Directors to issue, without shareholder approval, up to two million
shares of  preferred  stock  with such  rights and  preferences  as the Board of
Directors may determine in its sole discretion.  The Made2Manage  Systems,  Inc.
Stock  Option  Plan (the  "Option  Plan")  provides  that,  unless  the Board of
Directors or a committee of the our Board of Directors  decides to the contrary,
all outstanding options vest and become immediately exercisable upon a merger or
similar transaction.  In addition,  certain provisions of Indiana law could have
the  effect  of  making  it more  difficult  for a third  party to  acquire,  or
discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control. Further, certain
provisions of Indiana law impose various  procedural and other requirements that
could  make it more  difficult  for  shareholders  to effect  certain  corporate
actions.  The foregoing  provisions could discourage an attempt by a third party
to acquire a controlling  interest  without the approval of  management  even if
such third party were  willing to purchase  shares of common  stock at a premium
over its then market price.

Possible Volatility of Stock Price

The trading price of our common stock could be subject to wide  fluctuations  in
response  to  quarterly  variations  in  operating  results,   announcements  of
technological  innovations or new  applications  by us or our  competitors,  the
failure  of  earnings  to meet  the  expectations  of  securities  analysts  and
investors, as well as other events or factors. In addition, the stock market has
from time to time experienced  extreme price and volume  fluctuations which have
particularly  affected the market price of many high  technology  companies  and
which often have been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies.
These broad market  fluctuations  may  adversely  affect the market price of the
common stock.

Shares Eligible for Future Sale

The sale of a  substantial  number of shares of our  common  stock in the public
market could adversely  affect the market price of the common stock. As of March
1, 1999, we had 4,563,638 shares of common stock  outstanding,  of which 976,793
shares of common stock are "Restricted  Shares," which are subject to volume and
other  limitations  of Rule 144 and Rule 701  restrictions  under the Securities
Act. As of March 1, 1999, there were options  outstanding to purchase  1,554,907
shares  of  common  stock at a  weighted  average  price of  $6.82  share  under
Made2Manage  Systems,  Inc.  Stock  Option Plan (the  "Option  Plan"),  of which
options  to  purchase  534,682  shares of common  stock  were  then  vested  and
exercisable.  We have  reserved  71,682  shares of common stock for future grant
under the Option  Plan.  We have  reserved  100,000  shares of common  stock for
issuance under the Made2Manage  Systems,  Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
"Stock Purchase Plan"). As of March 1, 1999, 6,753 shares have been issued under
the Stock Purchase Plan. We filed registration  statements registering shares of
common  stock  issued  pursuant  to the Option Plan and Stock  Purchase  Plan on
January 30, 1998.  Accordingly,  shares  issued  pursuant to these plans will be
saleable in the public market upon issuance, subject to certain restrictions.

Absence of Dividends

We do not  anticipate  paying  any cash  dividends  on our  common  stock in the
foreseeable  future.  We currently  intend to retain  earnings,  if any, for the
development of our business.

Investment Risk

Despite the high credit ratings on our cash equivalents and  investments,  there
is no assurance such agencies will not default on their  obligations which could
result in losses of principal and accrued interest.

Report of Independent Accountants


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Made2Manage Systems, Inc.:

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying
index  present  fairly,  in all material  respects,  the  financial  position of
Made2Manage  Systems,  Inc. and its  subsidiaries at December 31, 1998 and 1997,
and the results of their  operations  and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended  December  31,  1998,  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles.  In addition,  in our opinion,  the  financial
statement  schedule listed in the  accompanying  index presents  fairly,  in all
material  respects the  information  set forth therein when read in  conjunction
with the related consolidated  financial statements.  These financial statements
and  financial  statement  schedule  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management;  our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements and financial  statement  schedule based on our audits.  We conducted
our audits of these  statements in accordance with generally  accepted  auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain  reasonable
assurance   about  whether  the  financial   statements  are  free  of  material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements,   assessing  the
accounting  principles  used and significant  estimates made by management,  and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion  expressed
above.

generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
and  assumptions  that affect  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial  statements and the reported  amounts of revenues and expenses  during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

The Company  considers  highly liquid  investments  with original  maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Marketable  securities  consist of
debt  instruments  with  maturities  between  three and  twelve  months  and are
classified as available-for-sale. Cash equivalents and marketable securities are
valued at cost which approximates market value.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Leasehold  improvements are amortized
over the lesser of the term of the related lease or estimated  useful life.  All
other assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated
useful lives which range from two to ten years.

Computer Software Development Costs

The Company accounts for computer software  development costs in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer  Software to be Sold,  Leased or Otherwise  Marketed."  Costs  incurred
prior  to  establishing  the  technological  feasibility  of  computer  software
products and  enhancements  to such products are expensed as incurred.  Software
development costs incurred by the Company following  technological  feasibility,
defined by the Company as the existence of a working  model of the product,  and
prior to the time the product is  available  for general  release to  customers,
have not been material and,  therefore,  have not been capitalized in 1998, 1997
or 1996.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

The Company  recognizes  revenue from the sale of its software and hardware upon
receipt of an executed  sales  agreement  and shipment to the customer  provided
there are no  significant  remaining  vendor  obligations  to be  fulfilled  and
collectibility  is probable in accordance  with American  Institute of Certified
Public Accountants Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition".

Services  revenue  includes  support,  education and  consulting  services.  The
Company provides  software support and product upgrades to its customers through
separately  priced  agreements.  These  support  revenues  are  recognized  on a
straight-line  basis over the term of the  agreement.  Revenues  from  technical
training and consulting services are recognized as provided to customers.

Purchased Technology

Purchased  technology is being  amortized on a  straight-line  basis over a five
year period.

Intangible Assets

Excess of cost over net assets  acquired is amortized on a  straight-line  basis
over the five year period expected to be benefited.  Adjustments to the carrying
value of excess of cost over net assets acquired are made if the sum of expected
future net cash flows from the business acquired is less than book value.

Other  intangible  assets  include  the  value  assigned  to  the  workforce  at
Bridgeware and is amortized on a straight-line  basis over the seven year period
expected to be benefited.

Net Income Per Share

Earnings  per share  ("EPS") is  determined  in  accordance  with  Statement  of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), "Earnings Per Share", and
is based upon the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
outstanding  for  the  period.  Diluted  common  equivalent  shares  consist  of
convertible preferred stock (using the "if converted" method), stock options and
warrants  (using the treasury stock method) as prescribed by SFAS No. 128. Under
the  treasury  stock  method the  assumed  proceeds  from the  exercise of stock
options and warrants are applied solely to the repurchase of common stock.

Stock-Based Compensation

The  Company  accounts  for  its  stock-based   compensation   under  Accounting
Principles  Board  Opinion No. 25 (APB  Opinion No. 25),  "Accounting  for Stock
Issued to  Employees,"  and  related  interpretations,  and  follows  disclosure
provisions  of  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 123 (SFAS No.
123),  "Accounting  for  Stock-based  Compensation."  The Company has elected to
apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosures
of SFAS No. 123.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February  1998,  the  American  Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants
("AICPA") issued  Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1,  "Accounting for the Costs
of  Computer  Software  Developed  or  Obtained  for  Internal  use."  SOP  98-1
establishes the accounting for costs of software products developed or purchased
for internal use,  including when such costs should be capitalized.  The Company
does not expect SOP 98-1, which is effective for the Company  beginning  January
1, 1999, to materially affect its financial position or results of operations.

In December 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-9, "Modification of SOP 97-2, Software
Revenue  Recognition,  With Respect to Certain  Transactions," which will retain
the  limitation  of SOP  97-2  on what  constitutes  vendor  specific  objective
evidence of fair value. SOP 98-9 will be effective for transaction  entered into
in fiscal years  beginning  after March 15, 1999. The Company  believes that its
current  revenue  recognition  policies and  practices are  consistent  with the
provision of the new guidance.

2.   Acquisition

On August 3, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding  capital stock of
Bridgeware,  a  privately  held  software  company  that  develops,  markets and
supports  Advanced  Planning  and  Scheduling   software  and  related  services
throughout  North  America,  South  America  and  Europe.  The  transaction  was
consummated  for  approximately  $3.5  million in cash and 91,135  shares of the
Company's  common  stock,  which had a market  value of  $997,000 at the date of
acquisition.

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method.  The purchase price
was  allocated to  identifiable  tangible  and  intangible  assets  acquired and
liabilities  assumed based on their estimated fair values.  Amounts allocated to
acquired  in-process  technology  have been expensed at the time of acquisition.
The consolidated  statements of operations  reflect the results of operations of
the purchased  company since the effective  date of the  acquisition.  Pro forma
statements  are not shown as they  would not  differ  materially  from  reported
results.

To determine the fair value of the acquired in-process  technology,  the Company
considered three traditional  approaches of value: the cost approach, the market
approach and the income  approach.  The Company  relied  primarily on the income
approach,  whereby  fair  market  value is a  function  of the  future  revenues
expected to be generated by an asset, net of all allocable  expenses and charges
for the use of the  contributory  assets.  The  future  net  revenue  stream  is
discounted to present value based upon the  specified  level of risk  associated
with achieving the forecasted  asset  earnings.  The resulting  value is further
reduced to reflect the percentage of completion of development as of the date an
acquisition.  The income approach focuses on the income production capability of
the acquired assets and best represents the present value of the future economic
benefits expected to be derived from these assets.

The Company determined that the acquired in-process technologies had not reached
technological  feasibility  based  on  the  status  of  design  and  development
activities  that  required  future  refinement  and  testing.   The  development
activities  required to complete the acquired in-process  technologies  included
additional coding, quality assurance procedures and customer beta testing. Based
on appraisal  amounts,  the Company  recorded a charge for  acquired  in-process
technology of $1.9 million.

The  Company  also  acquired   $785,000  in  net  tangible  assets  and  assumed
liabilities of $844,000. The allocation of the remaining purchase price resulted
in an excess  of the  purchase  price  over the fair  values  of the net  assets
acquired of  approximately  $3.6 million and a related deferred tax liability of
$862,000.  These intangible assets relate to purchased  technology and assembled
workforce  and the balance of the purchase  price has been assigned to excess of
cost over net assets acquired, all of which will be amortized on a straight-line
basis over useful lives of five or seven years.

The balances of the  intangible  assets as of December 31, 1998,  are as follows

5.   Line of Credit Agreement

The Company has a $1,000,000  working capital  facility with a bank which had no
amounts  outstanding at December 31, 1998 and 1997.  This line of credit expires
July 1, 1999. Interest is at the prime rate (7.75% at December 31, 1998).

6.   Shareholders' Equity

In December 1997, the Company  completed an initial public offering of 2,310,937
shares  of  common  stock at $7.50  per  share,  resulting  in net  proceeds  of
$15,469,000 after deducting  underwriting  discounts and other costs. All issued
and  outstanding  Series  A,  B,  C  and  D  convertible  preferred  stock  were
automatically  converted  into an aggregate of 1,493,885  shares of common stock
upon the completion of the offering.

Preferred Stock

Authorized preferred stock is issuable in series under such terms and conditions
as the Board of Directors may determine.


                                       29
<PAGE>




Stock Warrants

The Company issued  warrants that entitled the holders to purchase 14,063 shares
of  series C  preferred  stock at an  exercise  price of  $4.00  per  share.  In
conjunction with the initial public offering of the Company's common stock these
warrants were exercised and the series C preferred stock was converted to common
stock.

Common Stock Options

The Company's Option Plan, adopted in 1990, as amended,  authorizes the granting
of incentive and nonqualified stock options. The Board of Directors has approved
up to an  aggregate  of  1,800,000  shares for  issuance  under  this plan.  The
exercise price of the options must not be less than the fair market value of the
common  stock  for  incentive  options,  or 85% of the  fair  market  value  for
nonqualified  options,  at the date of grant.  Options  granted under the Option
Plan generally vest over four years,  with 25% exercisable one year from date of
grant and the remaining 75% at the rate of 1/48th of the amount  granted in each
of the next 36  consecutive  months.  Options  granted  prior to 1996  generally
expire five years from the date of grant and options granted subsequently expire
ten years from date of grant.  The plan provides for an automatic 5% increase in
the number of shares  reserved for option grants on January 1 of each year based
on the outstanding shares and shares reserved for issuance.  The plan terminates
in 2000 but may be terminated by the Board of Directors at any time.

At December  31, 1998,  options for 6,890 shares of common stock were  available
for future grants under the plan. In accordance with the provisions of the plan,
the number of shares  available  for grant  automatically  increased  by 294,445
shares to 301,335 shares on January 1, 1999.

Activity in the option plan is summarized as follows:

The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for
its option plan, and no compensation expense has been recognized.  The following
table presents pro forma net income had compensation  cost been determined based
on the fair value at the grant date for awards under the plan in accordance with
SFAS No. 123.

         Pro forma diluted net income per share.................     (0.13)      0.10       0.64
</TABLE>

The fair value of each option  grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes  option-pricing  model with the following  assumptions:  risk-free
interest rate of 5.5% for 1998 and 6.0% for 1997 and 1996;  expected life of one
year beyond  vesting date;  and  volatility of 75% for 1998 and 60% for 1997 and
1996.  In  accordance  with  SFAS No.  123,  only  options  granted  in 1995 and
subsequently  are  included  in  these   calculations  and,   accordingly,   the
disclosures are not likely to be  representative  of the effect on pro forma net
income  for  future  years  because  awards  vest  over  several  years  and the
disclosures do not take into  consideration  pro forma expense related to grants
made prior to 1995 and additional awards that generally are made each year.

Based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, the fair value at grant date of
options  granted for the years ended  December 31 were $5.03 in 1998,  $2.91 for
1997 and $1.84 for 1996.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The  Company's   Employee  Stock  Purchase  Plan  ("Stock  Purchase  Plan")  was
established  in October 1997 and 100,000  shares of the  Company's  common stock
were reserved for issuance. Under the Stock Purchase Plan, employees are granted
the right to purchase  shares of common stock at a price per share that is equal
to the greater of (i) 85% of the  beginning of the quarter  market price or (ii)
90% of the average  market price during the quarter.  Purchases  are made at the
end of each fiscal  quarter.  Shares  issued  under this plan for the year ended
December 31, 1998, totaled 6,753.

7.   Income Taxes

Income  taxes are  accounted  for in  accordance  with  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the
use of the asset and liability approach of accounting for deferred income taxes.
Deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are recognized on differences  between the
book and tax bases of assets and liabilities  using presently enacted tax rates.
The provision  (benefit) for income taxes is the tax payable or recoverable  for
the  period  and the  change  during  the  period in  deferred  tax  assets  and
liabilities.

In the fourth  quarter of 1996,  the  Company  recorded an income tax benefit of
$1,199,000,  reflecting the elimination of the remaining  balance of a valuation
allowance  which had been  established  to offset  future  tax  benefits  of net
operating loss  carryforwards.  The valuation allowance was reversed during 1996
based  on  management's  analysis  which  considered  the  Company's  profitable
operating  results and future  outlook  because of the market  acceptance of its
Windows product. As a result of this analysis, management determined it was more
likely than not that the  deferred  income  taxes at December  31, 1996 would be
realized.

The  components  of the  income  tax  provision  (benefit)  are as  follows  (in
thousands):

11.  Condensed Quarterly Financial Results (unaudited)

The following table sets forth certain unaudited condensed operating results for
each of the eight quarters in the two-year  period ended December 31, 1998. This
information  has  been  prepared  by  the  Company  on  the  same  basis  as the
Consolidated  Financial  Statements  appearing  elsewhere  in  this  report  and
includes,  in the opinion of management,  all  adjustments  (consisting  only of
normal  recurring   adjustments)  necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  of  the
information when read in conjunction with the Consolidated  Financial Statements
and notes thereto included elsewhere herein. The Company's operating results for
any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.

Earnings per share for each quarter are computed  independently  of earnings per
share for the year.  The sum of the  quarterly  earnings per share may not equal
the earnings per share for the year because of (i)  transactions  affecting  the
weighted  average  number of shares  outstanding  in each  quarter  and (ii) the
uneven distribution of earnings during the year.
