         NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles
for interim  financial  information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  Interim  results of operations for the
three-month  period  ended  March 31,  2000 are not  necessarily  indicative  of
operating results for the full fiscal year.

In the opinion of management,  all  adjustments  consisting of normal  recurring
entries  necessary  for the  fair  presentation  of the  consolidated  financial
position,  results of  operations,  and  changes  in cash flows for the  periods
presented  have been  included.  The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles requires management to
make estimates and  assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting  period.  Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

The  balance  sheet at  December  31,  1999 has been  derived  from the  audited
financial  statements  at that date but does not include all of the  information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting  principles for complete
financial statements.


2.   FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The functional  currency of the Company and its United Kingdom  subsidiaries  is
the British pound. The functional currencies of the other subsidiaries are their
local currencies.

For reporting purposes,  the financial statements are presented in United States
dollars and in accordance  with Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standard No.
52,  "Foreign  Currency  Translation".   The  consolidated  balance  sheets  are
translated  into United States dollars at the exchange  rates  prevailing at the
balance  sheet  dates and the  statements  of  operations  and cash flows at the
average  rates  for the  relevant  periods.  Gains  and  losses  resulting  from
translation  are  included as a component  of  accumulated  other  comprehensive
income (loss).

Net gains and losses resulting from foreign  exchange  transactions are included
in the consolidated statements of operations

4.   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

During June 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting  Comprehensive  Income"  ("SFAS No. 130").  SFAS No. 130  establishes
standards  for  the  reporting  and  display  of  comprehensive  income  and its
components in a full set of general-purpose  financial  statements.  The Company
adopted  SFAS  No.  130  during  1999.   Included   within   accumulated   other
comprehensive income are the cumulative amounts for foreign currency translation

5.   SEGMENT REPORTING INFORMATION

The Company has adopted SFAS 131 "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related  Information"  during 1999,  which  changes the way the Company  reports
certain information about its operating segments.

<PAGE>8


The  Company  develops,   markets,   implements  and  supports   enterprise-wide
applications  software  targeted  at  mid-sized   organizations  mainly  in  the
manufacturing,  healthcare, hospitality, and construction industries. Management
considers  each  industry  to  be  a  reportable  segment,  with  each  industry
representing a strategic  business that offers  products and services to various
customers.  These  industries  are  managed  separately  because  each  requires
different product and marketing strategies.

Within each  industry,  the Company has  adopted  tailored  sales and  marketing
strategy.  This strategy includes  advertisements in leading trade publications,
participation  in trade shows and sponsorship of user groups.  In addition,  the
Company has developed corporate sales and marketing materials as well as general
financial  and  technical   materials  that  are  distributed  to  each  of  our
subsidiaries  for  inclusion  in their  sales  materials,  thereby  promoting  a
consistent portrayal of our image and products. The Company markets its products
primarily  through  a  direct  sales  force  in each of the  industries.  In the
manufacturing and hospitality industries,  the Company also relies, to a limited
extent, on distributors to sell our products.

The accounting policies adopted by each industry are the same as those described
in  the  summary  of  significant  accounting  policies.   Management  evaluates
performance  based on profit/(loss)  from operations  before interest and income
taxes.



Summarized financial information  concerning our reportable segments is shown in
the following table:

OVERVIEW

We develop,  market, implement and support enterprise-wide software applications
primarily  for  mid-sized   organizations  in  the  manufacturing,   healthcare,
hospitality  and  construction   industries.   Our  fully-integrated   suite  of
Internet-enabled  products  allows  our  customers  to manage and  execute  many
mission-critical  functions  within their  organization,  including  accounting,
purchasing,  manufacturing,  customer  service,  and  sales and  marketing.  The
modular  design  of  our  products  enables  us  to  provide  customers  with  a
cost-effective  scalable solution which can be easily  implemented.  We focus on
mid-sized  organizations  with  annual  revenues  of less than $200  million  to
capitalize on a market we believe is receptive to our  cost-effective  solutions
and shorter  implementation  periods.  To date,  we have  licensed  our software
applications to more than 6,000 customers in over twenty countries.

Our software  applications  use our internally  developed  three-tiered,  object
oriented  software  architecture,  which we call the Aremis  architecture.  This
architecture   enables   us  to   develop   software   solutions   rapidly   and
cost-effectively  by taking advantage of the common requirements of customers in
our target markets.  In addition,  we believe that, with 212 developers based in

<PAGE>10

our  facilities  in  India,  we have  established  a  cost-effective  model  for
implementing, supporting and enhancing our software applications

In the past six years,  we have  experienced  rapid growth,  both internally and
through  acquisitions,  with  revenues  increasing  from $6.4 million in 1994 to
$73.4  million  in 1999.  During  this  period,  we  successfully  acquired  and
integrated the operations of eleven businesses, which were principally operating
in the  United  Kingdom.  In each  acquisition,  we sought  to reduce  expenses,
rejuvenate  the existing  products of the acquired  business and  transition the
customers  to  products  that  utilize  the Aremis  Architecture.  Our  software
development   and  support   facility  in  India  provides  us  with  access  to
highly-skilled  technical  personnel who are  responsible for  rejuvenating  the
acquired products and developing new products in a cost-effective manner.

Our  objective  is to be a  leading  provider  of  enterprise-wide  applications
software in the Targeted  Markets.  Our strategy for  achieving  this  objective
includes (i) targeting mid-sized organizations, including divisions and business
units of larger companies,  (ii) focusing on strategic markets, (iii) leveraging
our cost-efficient India operations,  (iv) capitalizing on our investment in the
Aremis  Architecture,  (v) expanding our marketing,  sales,  support and service
capabilities  and  (vi)  acquiring  related  software  businesses,  products  or
technologies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues

Total revenues increased 64.1% to $21.5 million for the three months ended March
31, 2000 from $13.1  million for the three  months  ended March 31,  1999.  This
increase was due to higher software  license revenues as a result of an increase
in the sale of higher margin  licenses,  and associated  maintenance and service
contract revenues and also the effect of additional revenue of  e-nnovations.com
of $ 1.2 million. The effect of the e-nnovations.com  acquisition on revenues is
mainly reflected in the three months ended March 31, 2000, since the acquisition
of e-nnovations.com was recorded in December 1999.

Software license revenues increased 107.8% to $11.1 million for the three months
ended March 31,  2000 from $5.4  million  for the three  months  ended March 31,
1999.  This  increase was primarily due to the growth in the number of installed
customers,  increased  sales of licenses for our Aremis 4.0 products,  and price
increases.  As a percentage of total  revenues,  license  revenues  increased to
51.8% for the three  months ended March 31, 2000 from 40.9% for the period ended
March 31, 1999.

Maintenance and service  contract  revenues  increased 45.6% to $9.1 million for
the three  months  ended March 31, 2000 from $6.3  million for the three  months
ended March 31,  1999,  as a result of the  increase in the number of  installed
customers and the growth in software license revenues.  As a percentage of total
revenues, maintenance and service contract revenues decreased to 42.4% for three
months ended March 31, 2000 from 47.9% for the period ended March 31, 1999.

Hardware and other revenues  decreased 15.6% to $1.2 million for the three month
ended March 31, 2000 from $1.5 million for the three month ended March 31, 1999.
As a percentage of total revenues, hardware and other revenues decreased to 5.8%
for the three  months ended March 31, 2000 from 11.3% for the three months ended
March 31, 1999,  reflecting our strategy to reduce the sale and  installation of
lower margin third-party hardware.

<PAGE>11

Cost of Revenues

The cost of revenues increased 33.5 % to $5.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 from $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999. As a
percentage of total revenues,  cost of revenues decreased to 23.6% for the three
month ended March 31, 2000 from 29.0% for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
The effect of  e-nnovations.com on the cost of revenue was $ 0.3 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2000.

Software  license  costs  increased  66.4% to $1.2  million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 from $0.72  million  for the three  months  ended March 31,
1999.  This  increase was primarily due to the growth in the number of installed
customers,  increased  sales of  licenses  for our  Aremis  4.0  products.  As a
percentage of total revenues, license costs remained at 5.5% for both the period
ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999.

Maintenance  and service  contract costs increased 42.1% to $2.8 million for the
three  months  ended March 31, 2000 from $2.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999, as a result of the increase in the number of installed customers
and the growth in software license revenues.  As a percentage of total revenues,
maintenance and service contract costs decreased to 13.1% for three months ended
March 31, 2000 from 15.2% for 1999.

Hardware  and other  costs  decreased  4.8% to $1.0  million for the three month
ended  March 31,  2000 from $1.04  million  for the three  month ended March 31,
1999. As a percentage of total  revenues,  hardware and other costs decreased to
4.6% for the three  months  ended March 31, 2000 from 7.9% for the three  months
ended  March  31,  1999,   reflecting  our  strategy  to  reduce  the  sale  and
installation of lower margin third-party hardware.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing  expenses consist primarily of expenses related to sales and
marketing,  personnel,  advertising,  promotion,  trade shows  participation and
public relations.

Our sales and marketing  expenses  increased 65.5% to $8.1 million for the three
months  ended March 31, 2000 from $4.9  million for the three months ended March
31,  1999,  primarily  due to the  expansion of sales and  marketing  activities
principally in the United States and Europe.  As a percentage of total revenues,
sales and marketing expenses increased to 37.4% for three months ended March 31,
2000, from 37.1% for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

Research and Development

Our research and  development  expenses  increased 26.6% to $1.9 million for the
period  ended March 31, 2000 from $ 1.5 million for the three months ended March
31, 1999. As a percentage of total revenues,  research and development  expenses
decreased  to 8.6% for the  three  months  ended  March 31,  2000 from  11.2% of
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999.  The decrease was  primarily
due to a  significant  portion of the planned  expenditures  relating to our new
generation  of  software  products  having  been  incurred  in prior  accounting
periods.

<PAGE>12

General and Administrative

General and  administrative  expenses  increased  101.7% to $2.3 million for the
three  months  ended March 31, 2000 from $1.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. As a percentage of total  revenues,  general and  administrative
expenses  increased to 11.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from 9.1%
for the three months ended March 31, 1999.  The increase was primarily due to an
increase in operational  and  geographical  activities  compared to the previous
period.

Amortization of Intangible assets

Amortization  of  intangible  assets  increased  to $ 1.2  million for the three
months  ended March 31, 2000 from  approximately  $ 88,000 for the three  months
ended March 31, 1999. The increase in amortization of intangible  assets was due
to the goodwill  recorded on the  acquisition  of  e-nnovations.com  in December
1999.

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense reflects interest on our credit  facilities,  as reduced by
interest  income on cash balances.  Net interest  expense was $0 million for the
three  months  ended March 31,  2000 as  compared to $0.5  million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999.  The decrease was primarily due to the repayment of
short and long term loans in 1998.

We received  approximately  $ 0.13 million net interest from deposits during the
three months ended March 31, 2000.

Income Tax Provision

There is a provision  for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2000
of $0.6  million.  There was a provision  for income  taxes for $0.4 million the
three months ended March 31, 1999.  The increase in income taxes  resulted  from
the increase in our profitability in 2000. Our effective tax rate was assumed at
20%.

Recoverability  of the deferred tax asset  derived  mainly from  operating  loss
carry  forwards in the United  Kingdom has been reviewed at March 31, 2000,  and
although certain subsidiaries generated taxable income in the three months ended
March 31, 2000, no assurances can be given that the level of taxable income will
be  sustained  at an adequate  level in the  appropriate  subsidiaries.  It must
therefore be considered  more likely than not that the deferred tax benefit will
not be recognized at this stage.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have funded our operations since inception primarily through borrowings under
bank credit  facilities,  private  placements  of equity  securities  and equity
contributions by our principal  stockholder.  As of March 31, 2000, we had $15.2
million of cash and cash equivalents. We had a working capital surplus of $ 21.5
million as of March 31, 2000.

<PAGE>13


We believe that the existing  cash and cash  equivalents,  will be sufficient to
meet our working capital and currently planned expenditure  requirements for the
next  nine  months.  We  may,  from  time  to  time,  consider  acquisitions  of
complementary businesses, products or technologies, which may require additional
financing. In addition, continued growth in our business may, from time to time,
require additional  capital.  No assurances can be given that additional capital
will be  available  to us at such time or times as such  capital may be required
or, if available,  that it will be on commercially acceptable terms or would not
result in additional dilution to our stockholders.

We had an operating cash flow surplus of $2.1 million for the three months ended
March 31,  2000.  This  surplus was  primarily  due to  operating  profits and a
decrease in accounts receivable - disposition  proceeds,  partially offset by an
increase in trade accounts receivable and a decrease in accounts payable. We had
an operating  cash flow surplus of $1.4 million for the three months ended March
31, 1999. Operating cash flow is affected by seasonality, among other factors.

Accounts  receivable  increased  to $19.6  million for March 31, 2000 from $14.9
million for March 31, 1999. Accounts receivable at December 31, 1999 were $ 18.1
million.  The average days sales  outstanding  was 103 days for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 and 83 days for the three months ended March 31, 2000.  The
increase in receivables was due to an increase in the sales for the period.  The
decrease in average sales days outstanding  reflects the higher  collection rate
of accounts receivable.

Accrued  taxes  increased  from $3.0 million at March 31, 1999 to  approximately
$7.9 million at March 31, 2000.  The increase was  primarily  due to increase in
income tax of company due to higher profits.

We utilized cash for  investing  activities of $0.3 million and $0.5 million for
the three  months  ended  March  31,  2000 and  March  31,  1999,  respectively,
primarily the result of purchases of property and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $54,000 and $ 13,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999, respectively.  For
the three  months ended March 31, 2000,  cash  provided by financing  activities
resulted from proceeds received from the exercise of warrants,  partially offset
by the repayment of capital lease obligations.

EURO CONVERSION

In  January  1999,  the Euro  was  introduced  as the  currency  of a number  of
participating  nations in the European Union. Although the United Kingdom is not
currently a participating nation, the introduction of the Euro raises conversion
issues for business  transacted  with  entities in  participating  nations.  Our
products  either include or have been upgraded to include the Euro and we do not
believe that the Euro conversion has had or will have a material  adverse effect
on our  business.  Because our critical  internal  systems have been modified to
accommodate a conversion to the Euro, we believe we are  adequately  prepared in
the event the United Kingdom converts to the Euro in the future.

Item 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

A significant  portion of our business is conducted in currencies other than the
United States dollar.  As a result, we are subject to exposure from movements in
foreign  currency  exchange  rates.  We  do  not  currently  engage  in  hedging
transactions designed to manage currency fluctuation risks.


Interest Rate Sensitivity

Our exposure related to adverse movements in interest rates is primarily derived
from the variable rate on our credit  facilities.  Interest  rates on our credit
facilities range from either Sterling LIBOR plus 3% to Sterling LIBOR plus 4% or
the lending bank's base rate plus the applicable  margin.  Increases in Sterling
LIBOR result in increases in our interest expense.  As of March 31, 2000, we had
no borrowings outstanding under our credit facilities.

Item 2:  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

We issued 8,764 shares of our Common Stock at $8.56 per share in connection with
the  exercise of  outstanding  warrants  during the three months ended March 31,
2000. Consequently, we received approximately $75,020 from the proceeds of those
exercises.  The  proceeds  were  used for  working  capital  and  other  general
corporate purposes.  The shares were issued in reliance upon the exemptions from
registration  contained  in  Section  4(2) of the  Securities  Act of  1933,  as
amended, and Regulation D and Regulation S promulgated thereunder.
