                            MADE2MANAGE SYSTEMS, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)



1.  Description of Business

Made2Manage  Systems,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  develops,  markets,  licenses and
supports  enterprise  business system  software  solutions for small and midsize
manufacturing  companies located primarily in the United States.  The Company is
dependent upon its primary  product,  Made2Manage for Windows,  which is a fully
integrated,  Microsoft  Windows based business software system for manufacturing
companies.

2.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying  unaudited interim condensed  consolidated financial statements
have been prepared by the Company  pursuant to the rules and  regulations of the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  regarding  interim  financial  reporting.
Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information and footnotes  required
by generally accepted  accounting  principles for complete financial  statements
and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes  thereto  included in the  Company's  December  31, 1999 Annual  Report to
Shareholders. In management's opinion, this information has been prepared on the
same basis as the annual  financial  statements  and  includes  all  adjustments
(consisting  only of normal  and  recurring  adjustments)  necessary  for a fair
presentation of the information.

Certain amounts for 1999 have been restated to conform to the 2000 presentation.

The consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances have been eliminated.

The  preparation  of  consolidated   financial  statements  in  conformity  with
accounting   principles   generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  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  reported  amounts  of
revenues and expenses during the reporting  period.  Actual results could differ
from these estimates.

The operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily  indicative of
the results of operations for the full year.

3.  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.

4.  Net Loss per Share

Net loss 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.
Common stock  equivalents  were not included in the diluted EPS calculations due
to net losses in each period.

Item 2. 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,  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 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.  Additional  information
concerning  factors that could cause actual  results to differ  materially  from
those in the  forward-looking  statements  is  contained  in the  Company's  SEC
reports, including the report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Overview

We  develop,  market,  license and support  Made2Manage,  an open  architecture,
standards-based, client/server and web based enterprise business system 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.

During 1998 we acquired Bridgeware, Inc., a company that offers advance planning
and  scheduling  software,  for a combination  of cash and common stock totaling
$4.5 million.  In connection with this  acquisition,  we recorded a $1.9 million
in-process  technology  charge.  The  remaining  costs of the  acquisition  were
recorded  as assets and were  expected  to be  amortized  over lives of five and
seven years. During the third quarter 2000, we decided to accelerate development
of an  integrated  multi-level  planning  suite that will  largely  replace  the
acquired  technology.  That decision  resulted in an impairment of the purchased
technology asset and related goodwill.  The impaired assets were written down to
their net  realizable  value and resulted in a non-cash,  pre-tax charge of $2.0
million. The after-tax effect of the charge was $1.5 million.

In March 2000 we  introduced  m2mEport,  our web site  dedicated to the needs of
small and midsize  manufacturers.  m2mEport  was  subsequently  split into three
distinct web sites,  M2MEXPRESS,  M2MEXPERT and M2MVIP. Each site is designed to
meet specific e-commerce business needs of small and midsize manufacturers.  The
M2MEXPRESS  web site is  designed  to provide  small and  midsize  manufacturing
companies  access to Made2Manage via the Internet  through a hosted  Application
Service Provider option. The M2MEXPERT web site provides  Made2Manage  customers
with Internet resources,  including virtual education courses,  cyber consulting
and support  services 24 hours per day,  seven days a week through the use of an
online searchable information database for troubleshooting.  M2MVIP was launched
in the third quarter 2000 and offers small and midsize manufacturing companies a
range of  collaborative  opportunities  with  both  their  customers  and  their
suppliers. We believe M2MVIP will assist the manufacturer in sustaining customer
loyalty through improved service.

Made2Manage  is  sold  internationally.  In  January  2000  we  entered  into  a
distributor  relationship  with 4Front  Technologies to sell, market and support
our  product  in  Europe.  4Front  Technologies  was  recently  acquired  by NCR
Corporation.  The impact of this  acquisition on our European sales activity has
not yet been determined. Currently approximately 99% of our revenues are derived
from customers in the United States.



                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>

Our revenues are derived from software licenses, services and hardware. Software
revenues  are  generated  from  licensing  software to new  customers,  and from
current  customers  increasing  the number of licensed  users and  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.

Comparison of Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

Revenues

Revenues are derived from software  license  fees,  service and support fees and
hardware sales.  For the three months ended  September 30, 2000,  total revenues
increased by $1.9 million,  or 29.7%,  to $8.3 million from $6.4 million for the
three months ended  September 30, 1999. For the nine months ended  September 30,
2000, total revenues decreased by $588,000, or 2.5%, to $23.3 million from $23.9
million for the nine months ended  September 30, 1999. Both the quarter and year
to  date   variances  were   attributed  to  the  volume  of  software   license
transactions.  We believe that the  increase in the third  quarter 2000 over the
same period for the prior year reflects the gradual  recovery of the  enterprise
software  market  place,  which has  experienced a slow-down due in part to Year
2000 impacts on buying decisions. We also believe manufacturers are experiencing
some confusion regarding e-commerce solutions,  which has further delayed buying
decisions.  See  "Business  Environment  and Risk  Factors  - Year  2000  Market
Dynamics" for a description of Year 2000 market  dynamics and potential  revenue
impact. We have not historically recognized significant annual revenues from any
single customer.

Software  Revenues.  For the three months  ended  September  30, 2000,  software
revenues increased by $1.9 million,  or 86.1%, to $4.0 million from $2.2 million
for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1999.  Software  license  revenues
constituted  48.3%  and  33.7% of total  revenues  for the  three  months  ended
September  30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The increase in the third  quarter
2000 over the same  period for the prior  year was driven by a higher  number of
software license transactions, coupled with a larger average order size. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2000,  software revenues  decreased by $592,000,
or 5.5%, to $10.1 million from $10.7 million for the nine months ended September
30,  1999.  Software  license  revenues  constituted  43.4%  and  44.9% of total
revenues for the nine months ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.
The year to date decrease in software  revenues was  principally  due to a lower
number of software license transactions,  which was partially offset by a larger
average order size.

Services  Revenues.  For the three months  ended  September  30, 2000,  services
revenues  increased by $39,000,  or 1.0%,  to $4.0 million from $3.9 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1999. These revenues  constituted 47.9% and
61.4% of total revenues for the three months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2000,  services  revenues
increased by $75,000,  or 0.6%, to $12.4 million from $12.3 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999. These revenues  constituted  53.2% and 51.5% of
total  revenues  for  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000  and  1999,
respectively.  While  support  revenues  were  up due to  support  fees  from an
expanded user base,  education and consulting  revenues were down due to a lower
volume of software license transactions.

Hardware  Revenues.  For the three months  ended  September  30, 2000,  hardware
revenues  increased by $4,000,  or 1.3%, to $317,000 from $313,000 for the three
months ended  September 30, 1999.  These revenues  constituted  3.8% and 4.9% of
total  revenues  for the  three  months  ended  September  30,  2000  and  1999,
respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2000,  hardware  revenues
decreased by $71,000,  or 8.3%,  to $784,000  from  $855,000 for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1999.  These  revenues  constituted  3.4% and 3.6% of total
revenues for the nine months ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.
The year to date decrease in hardware  revenues was  principally  due to a lower
volume of software license transactions. We limit the type of hardware equipment
we sell to bar-coding and data collection equipment necessary to utilize certain
features of Made2Manage.

Subscription  Revenues.  Subscription  revenues from M2MEXPRESS were $21,000 for
the nine months ended  September  30, 2000.  There were no revenues from M2MVIP.
However, more than 70 customers have signed up for M2MVIP services during a free
introductory period.  Subscription revenues are included in services revenues in
the consolidated statements of operations.

International  Revenues.  International  revenues  for  the  nine  months  ended
September  30, 2000  totaled  $197,000  for  software,  hardware and support and
represented 0.8% of total revenues.

Costs of Revenues

Costs of Software  Revenues.  For the three months ended  September 30, 2000 and
1999, costs of software  revenues  totaled $348,000 and $316,000,  respectively,
resulting  in gross  profit  margins  of 91.3% and 85.4% of  software  revenues,
respectively.  For the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999,  costs of
software revenues totaled $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, resulting
in gross profit margins of 89.8% and 89.5% of software revenues, respectively.

Write-Down and Amortization of Purchased Technology. In August 1998, we acquired
our Bridgeware  subsidiary,  which gave rise to the purchased  technology asset.
During  the third  quarter  2000,  we decided to  accelerate  development  of an
integrated  multi-level  planning  suite that will largely  replace the acquired
technology.  That decision resulted in an impairment of the purchased technology
asset which was written down to net realizable value. The non-cash write-down of
purchased  technology was $1.2 million as compared to amortization of $98,000 in
the third quarter of 1999.  For the nine months ended  September  30, 2000,  the
write-down and amortization of purchased technology was $1.4 million as compared
to amortization of $295,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

Costs of Services  Revenues.  For the three months ended  September 30, 2000 and
1999, costs of services revenues totaled $2.1 million in each period,  resulting
in gross profit  margins of 47.1% and 45.9%,  respectively.  For the nine months
ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,  costs of services  revenues  totaled  $6.3
million and $6.6  million,  respectively,  resulting in gross profit  margins of
49.2% and  46.3%,  respectively.  The  decrease  in costs was  primarily  due to
operating efficiencies gained, resulting in lower personnel costs.

Costs of Hardware  Revenues.  For the three months ended  September 30, 2000 and
1999, costs of hardware  revenues  totaled $207,000 and $199,000,  respectively.
The gross profit margins from hardware were 34.7% and 36.4% of hardware revenues
for the three months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  For the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,  costs of hardware  revenues were
$557,000 and  $571,000,  respectively.  Gross profit  margins from hardware were
29.0% and 33.2% of hardware  revenues  for the nine months ended  September  30,
2000 and 1999, respectively.

Operating Expenses

Sales and Marketing Expenses.  For the three months ended September 30, 2000 and
1999,  sales  and  marketing  expenses  were  $3.4  million  and  $3.0  million,
respectively,  representing 40.3% and 46.3% of total revenues, respectively. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, sales and marketing  expenses
were $9.5 million and $8.8 million,  respectively,  representing 40.9% and 36.9%
of total revenues,  respectively.  The increase in sales and marketing  expenses
was primarily due to recruiting related costs for two new executives, e-commerce
marketing efforts, and increased activity with our European sales operation.

Product Development Expenses.  For the three months ended September 30, 2000 and
1999,  product  development   expenses  were  $1.5  million  and  $1.7  million,
respectively,  representing 17.6% and 26.5% of total revenues, respectively. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, product development  expenses
were $4.9 million and $4.8 million,  respectively,  representing 21.0% and 20.2%
of total revenues,  respectively.  The increase in product development  expenses
was substantially the result of our investment in e-commerce initiatives. We did
not capitalize any software  development  costs during these periods pursuant to
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 (SFAS No. 86).

General and  Administrative  Expenses.  For the three months ended September 30,
2000 and 1999,  general and  administrative  expenses were $1.2 million and $1.1
million,   respectively,   representing  13.9%  and  16.7%  of  total  revenues,
respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, general and
administrative  expenses  were  $3.3  million  and $3.2  million,  respectively,
representing 14.3% and 13.3% of total revenues, respectively.

Write-down and Amortization of Goodwill.  In August 1998, we recorded  purchased
technology  and  related  goodwill   associated  with  the  acquisition  of  our
Bridgeware  subsidiary.  During the third quarter 2000, we decided to accelerate
development  of an  integrated  multi-level  planning  suite  that will  largely
replace the acquired technology.  That decision resulted in an impairment of the
purchased  technology  asset and related  goodwill.  The non-cash  write-down of
goodwill to net  realizable  value was $763,000 as compared to  amortization  of
$62,000 in the third  quarter of 1999.  For the nine months ended  September 30,
2000, the write-down  and  amortization  of goodwill was $887,000 as compared to
amortization  of $186,000 for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1999.  See
"Costs of Revenues - Write-down and  Amortization  of Purchased  Technology" for
impact of writing down the purchased technology asset.

Other Income, Net

For the three months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999,  other income,  net was
$159,000  and  $140,000,  respectively,  representing  1.9%  and  2.2% of  total
revenues,  respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
other income, net was $456,000 and $428,000, respectively, representing 2.0% and
1.8% of total revenues, respectively. The increase in the dollar amount of other
income, net was due primarily to higher interest rates on invested securities.

Income Tax Benefit

For the three months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999,  the income tax benefit
effective  rate was 30.2% and 37.0%,  respectively.  For the nine  months  ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, the income tax benefit effective rate was 36.0% and
37.0%, respectively. The effective rate for both the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 is lower due to the write-down of goodwill,  which is not tax
deductible.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have funded our operations  primarily  through equity capital,  debt and cash
generated from operations. As of September 30, 2000, we had $4.7 million of cash
and cash equivalents and $7.3 million invested in marketable securities.

The net change in cash was a reduction of $7.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and resulted  primarily from $5.5 million in net purchases of
marketable securities with maturities from three months to one year..

At  September  30,  2000,  we had working  capital of $12.1  million,  including
accounts receivable,  net, of $9.4 million. The average accounts receivable days
outstanding  was 102 days as of  September  30, 2000 and was 93 days at December
31,  1999.  Deferred  revenue is related to  support  agreements  or  contracted
services and was $9.8 million at September 30, 2000 or $379,000  higher than the
balance at December 31, 1999.

We have a revolving  credit  agreement  with a commercial  bank which expires on
April 30, 2001,  borrowings under which bear interest at the prime rate (9.5% at
September 30, 2000). Loans under the revolving credit agreement are limited,  in
the aggregate,  to $2 million.  We have not borrowed under the revolving line of
credit.

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 for the next twelve months.

Inflation

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

Accounting Pronouncements

In December 1998, the  Securities and Exchange  Commission  Staff released Staff
Accounting  Bulletin No. 101, Revenue  Recognition in Financial  Statements (SAB
No.  101)  which  provides  guidance  on  the  recognition,   presentation,  and
disclosure of revenue in the financial statements. Subsequent amendments require
implementation  in  2001.  The  Company  is  quantifying  the  effects  of  this
pronouncement, if any.

Business Environment and Risk Factors

In addition to other information contained in this report, the following factors
could  affect  our  actual  results  and  could  cause  such  results  to differ
materially  from those achieved in the past or expressed in our forward  looking
statements.

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 may
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.

Year 2000 Market Dynamics

We believe the Year 2000 planning cycle reduced  demand for enterprise  business
systems in 1999. In addition,  each customer's evaluation of its need to achieve
Year 2000  compliance  with other internal  systems  potentially  lengthened the
sales cycle. We believe that in 1999 certain  customers and potential  customers
were  engaged in testing  and  correcting  system Year 2000  problems,  and such
customers may have chosen to defer system  investments  during 1999,  negatively
impacting our revenues.  Additionally,  prior year sales may have been increased
due to customers'  need to address Year 2000 issues.  Such Year 2000 demand most
likely  was  reduced  in 1999 due to the lead time  required  to  implement  new
systems,  possibly  negatively  impacting  our  revenues.  Our sales  cycles may
lengthen in 2000 and future years due to lessened  urgency of customers'  system
investment  decisions.  Because Year 2000 related impacts on customer purchasing
decisions were unprecedented,  we have a limited ability to determine the impact
of the Year 2000 market dynamics on our quarter-to-quarter revenues in 2000.

Product and Market Concentration

Our  revenues are  currently  derived from  licenses of  Made2Manage,  including
optional modules 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 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.

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 Microsoft
Sequel Server, and there can be no assurance that Microsoft will not discontinue
or  otherwise  fail to  support  Visual  Studio or  Sequel  Server or any of its
components.  In  addition,  we use a  number  of  other  programming  tools  and
applications,  including  ActiveX,  OLE,  ODBC,  OLEDB,  MSMQ,  Site  Server and
Internet Information Server.

We sublicense various third party products,  including  Microsoft Visual FoxPro,
Microsoft  Sequel  Server,  Microsoft  Project,  products  from  Powerway,  Best
Software,  ADS  Inc.,  Interact  Commerce  and FRx,  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 and Rapid Technological Change

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.



                                     - 13 -

Internet and Potential for Subscription Revenue Business Model

We believe the Internet is changing the way businesses operate and therefore the
software  needs of customers.  We believe  customers will  increasingly  require
eBusiness applications and software solutions that will enable them to engage in
commerce or service over the  Internet.  If we are unable to respond to emerging
industry  standards  and  technological  changes  we may not be able to  deliver
products and services that meet our  customer's  changing  needs.  If we are not
successful in addressing  these changing needs our products may become  obsolete
and our financial results may be materially and adversely impacted.

Furthermore,  advances  in Internet  and  e-commerce  applications  may lead the
enterprise  business  system market to rapid  acceptance of Application  Service
Provider (ASP), a hosted method of delivering business system solutions. The ASP
method of delivery is a  subscription  revenue model and although  subscriptions
could improve  predictability of future revenue,  it delays revenue  recognition
and cash collections as compared to the current method. Therefore, if there is a
rapid  change to the ASP  business  model our near term  financial  results  and
financial position may be materially and adversely impacted.

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 domestic 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 we have begun 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.  Additionally,  we rely
extensively  on our  European  distributor,  4Front  Technologies,  to sell  and
service the European market place.  4Front Technologies was recently acquired by
NCR Corporation.  The impact of this acquisition has not yet been determined. If
4Front  Technologies  is  unable  or  unsuccessful  in  promoting,  selling  and
servicing Made2Manage our financial condition and results of operations could be
materially and adversely affected.

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,
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 to do so could have a
material  adverse  effect on our business and financial  condition or results of
operations.



                                     - 14 -
<PAGE>

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  business  management
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 business management systems to larger
manufacturers have announced  initiatives to market business  management 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.
Additionally,   we  rely  extensively  on  our  European   distributor,   4Front
Technologies, to sell and service the European market place. 4Front Technologies
was recently acquired by NCR Corporation. The impact of this acquisition has not
yet been  determined.  If  4Front  Technologies  is unable  or  unsuccessful  in
promoting, selling and servicing Made2Manage our financial condition and results
of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

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.



                                     - 15 -
<PAGE>

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 October 31,  2000,  Hambrecht & Quist  ("H&Q")  and its  affiliates,  as a
group,  beneficially owned  approximately 20.7% 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 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
October 31, 2000, we had 4,750,722 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 October  31,  2000,  there were  options  outstanding  to
purchase  2,037,253  shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $6.72
per share under the Company's  stock option plans,  of which options to purchase
1,020,480  shares of common  stock  were then  vested and  exercisable.  We have
reserved 9,035 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
October 31, 2000,  41,640 shares have been issued under the Stock Purchase Plan.
We have filed registration  statements registering shares of common stock issued
pursuant to the Made2Manage  Systems,  Inc. Stock 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.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We transact  business in various  foreign  currencies,  primarily  in the United
Kingdom and Canada.  We do not have any  significant  receivables or obligations
denominated in foreign currencies.  We do not have any foreign currency swaps or
derivatives  and we are not  currently  subject  to  material  foreign  currency
exchange risk.
