REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


June 26, 1996

To the Participants and Administrator of
MICROS Systems, Inc. 401(K) Retirement Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for
benefits of MICROS Systems, Inc.  401(K) Retirement Plan at December 31, 1995
and 1994, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplementary schedules of assets
held for investment purposes and of reportable transactions are presented for
the purpose of additional analysis and are not required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by Department
of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The fund information in the
statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes
in net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional
analysis rather than to present the net assets available for benefits and
changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund.  The supplemental
schedules and fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion,
are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

The schedule of assets held for investment purposes that accompanies the Plan's
financial statements does not disclose the historical cost of certain plan
assets held by the Plan trustee.  Disclosure of this information is required by
the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following description of the MICROS Systems, Inc. 401(K) Retirement Plan
(the "Plan") provides only general information.  Participants should refer to
the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

A.  General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan, sponsored by MICROS Systems, Inc.
(the "Company"), covering all full-time employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries who have one year of service and are age twenty-one or older.
Effective July 1, 1995, the Plan was amended to decrease the eligibility
waiting period from twelve months (1,000 hours) to three consecutive months
(250 hours) of service.  Eligible employees may enroll in the Plan on the first
day of the fiscal quarter coincident with meeting eligibility criteria.  The
Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 (ERISA).

B.  Contributions

Participants may contribute 1% to 15% of their compensation to the Plan on a
pre-tax basis through salary deductions; however, annual contributions may not
exceed the maximum allowed under the Internal Revenue Code in any calendar year
($9,240 per taxpayer for the 1995 and 1994 calendar years, respectively).

For employees participating in the Plan prior to December 31, 1994, the
Company contributed a percentage, as established semi-annually by the
Operations Committee of the Board of Directors, of each participant's
contribution.

Effective January 1, 1995, the Plan was amended whereby the Company
contributes a guaranteed 50% of the first 5% of a participant's contribution.
Additionally, at the end of each Plan year the Company guarantees a QNEC
(Qualified Non-Elective Contribution) of 1% of the annual compensation for all
eligible, non-highly compensated employees, regardless of their participation
in the Plan.  An additional percentage match of the employee's elective
deferral may be contributed at the option of the Operations Committee of the
Board of Directors.





                                     - 9 -

C.  Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions plus
actual earnings thereon.  A participant's interest in the Company's matching
and discretionary contribution portion of their accounts plus actual earnings
thereon, becomes vested 20% after two years of service and increases 20% each
year thereafter until becoming fully vested after six years.

D.  Participant Accounts

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and
allocations of the Company's contributions and Plan earnings.  Allocations are
based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined.  The benefit to
which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the
participant's vested account.  Forfeited balances of terminated participants'
nonvested accounts are used to reduce future Company contributions.  At
December 31, 1995, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $37,618.  These amounts
may be used to reduce future Company contributions.  In 1995, Company
contributions were not reduced by these forfeited nonvested accounts.

E.  Investment Options

A participant may invest in one or all of the following funds:

    1. Merrill Lynch Capital Fund.  This fund is a Merrill Lynch sponsored
       mutual fund whose investment objective is to achieve the highest total
       investment return consistent with prudent risk.  Fund management may
       shift emphasis among equity, debt or convertible securities.

    2. Merrill Lynch Ready Asset Trust.  This fund's objective is to maintain a
       value of one dollar.  Purchases are principally made in investments that
       have a short-term maturity.

    3. Merrill Lynch Phoenix Fund.  This fund is a new investment option added
       to the Plan effective July 1, 1994.  It is designed for investors
       seeking long-term growth of capital through a diversified portfolio of
       equity and fixed-income securities that fund management believes are
       undervalued.

    4. Merrill Lynch Federal Securities Trust.  This fund is a new investment
       option added to the Plan effective July 1, 1994.  It seeks to achieve
       high current return by investing in securities issued or guaranteed by
       the U.S. government or U.S. government agencies and enterprises.





                                     - 10 -
<PAGE>   11
    5. Merrill Lynch Basic Value Fund.  A new investment option effective
       January 1, 1994, this fund strives for capital appreciation, then
       income, by investing in securities, primarily equities, that fund
       management believes are undervalued.

    6. Merrill Lynch Global Allocation Fund.  A new investment option
       effective January 1, 1994, this fund seeks to achieve the highest
       investment return consistent with prudent risk through a fully managed
       investment policy utilizing domestic and foreign equity, debt, and money
       market instruments.

Participants selecting the Merrill Lynch investment options may invest in the
Class B shares.  Effective March 29, 1996, these shares were converted to Class
D shares.

The Roger Engemann Equity Fund and the Lord Abbott Fixed Income Fund were
discontinued effective December 31, 1994 and all monies remaining at that date
were transferred into the Merrill Lynch Phoenix Fund and Merrill Lynch Federal
Securities Trust, respectively, on January 5, 1995.

The Company intends to offer its common stock as an additional investment
option effective July 1, 1996.

F.  Payment of Benefits

Each participant is entitled to the market value of their vested benefits
calculated as of the valuation date following retirement, death, disability or
termination of employment.  These benefits will be distributed in a single lump
sum payment, or in installments to the participant or another qualified plan as
designated by the participant if the account balance exceeds $3,500.  For
termination of service due to other reasons, a participant may receive the
value of the vested interest in his or her account as a lump sum distribution.

G.  Participant Notes

Upon approval by Plan Trustees/Sponsors, participants may borrow from their
fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of
$50,000 or 50% of the vested portion of their total account balance, including
both employee and Company contributions.  Loan transactions are treated as a
transfer to (from) the investment fund from (to) the Participant Notes fund.
Loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest
at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined by the Plan
Trustees/Sponsors, and approximate fair value.  Interest rates on notes
outstanding at December 31, 1995 range from 6.5% to 8.5%.  Principal and
interest are paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions over a period not
extending beyond five years from the date of loan.





                                     - 11 -

H.  Administrative Expenses

The Company pays Merrill Lynch directly for certain normal Plan administrative
expenses.  Company personnel also perform various administrative services for
the Plan, including maintenance of participant records on a noncompensatory
basis.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A.  Basis of Accounting

The Plan's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.

B.  Investment Valuation

Investments are stated at fair value based on market prices quoted by Merrill
Lynch which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at
year-end.  Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.  Dividends are recorded on
the ex-dividend date.  Realized gains and losses from investment transactions
and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments are reported on an
average cost basis for financial statement purposes.

C.  Contributions

Employee contributions are recorded in the period during which the Company
makes payroll deductions from the Plan participants' earnings.  Company
contributions are recorded in the same period.

D.  Payment of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.


NOTE 3 - VESTED ACCOUNTS OF TERMINATED PARTICIPANTS

The net assets available for benefits at December 31, 1995 and 1994 include
$217,077 and $77,261, respectively, in vested accounts of terminated
participants.  These accounts receive no further allocation of Company
contributions.





                                     - 12 -
<PAGE>   13
NOTE 4 - PLAN AMENDMENT

Effective March 17, 1995, the Plan was amended whereby Merrill Lynch Trust
Company was appointed as sole Trustee of the Plan and Ronald J. Kolson, Gary C.
Kaufman and Judith F. Wilbert, which had been serving as Trustees to the Plan,
were relieved of such position, but shall remain as the Plan's Sponsors with
full fiduciary powers and responsibilities.  In addition, Preferred Benefits
Corporation, Plan recordkeeper, was acquired by Merrill Lynch as a result of an
asset acquisition occurring November 18, 1995.


NOTE 5 - PLAN TERMINATION

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate
the Plan, subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event of the Plan
termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).  In
addition, the Company filed a request for determination with the IRS and
received a favorable determination letter dated October 10, 1995.  Management

compliance with all applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and
ERISA.  Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the
Plan's financial statements.
