2. Legal proceedings
MICROS is and has been involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal
course of business. The Company is of the opinion, based upon presently
available information and the advice of counsel concerning pertinent legal
matters, that any resulting liability should not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position. On
March 25, 1997, Budgetel Inns, Inc. ("Budgetel") filed suit against MICROS
in the United States Federal District Court in the Eastern District of
Wisconsin. Budgetel alleges, among other things, that MICROS breached a
March 1993 software support agreement by failing to provide full support
to this software package licensed to Budgetel in 1993. As the United
States District Court Judge granted MICROS' motion to dismiss four of the
seven causes of action on June 22, 1998, with leave to amend, Budgetel
filed a first amended complaint on November 12, 1998. MICROS filed a
motion to dismiss the amended complaint on December 7, 1998. While the
ultimate outcome of litigation is uncertain, and while litigation is
inherently difficult to predict, the Company is of the opinion, based upon
presently available information and the advice of counsel concerning
pertinent legal matters, that resulting liability, if any, should not have
a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or
financial position.

For the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1999, 9,000 options
and 5,000 options, respectively, were excluded from the above
reconciliation as these options were anti-dilutive for these periods. For
the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1998, no options were
excluded from the above reconciliation for these periods.
4. Comprehensive Income
On July 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." Total
comprehensive income is reported in the consolidated statements of
shareholders' equity and includes net income and foreign currency
translation adjustments.

Form 10-Q
For the Quarter Ended March 31, 1999
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has a $45.0 million unsecured committed multi-currency line of
credit, which was renewed and increased from $35.0 million during the second
quarter of fiscal 1999 for an additional one-year period, expiring on December
31, 1999. Such line is convertible, at the Company's option, to three-year term
debt. In addition, the Company has a credit facility from a European bank in the
amount of DM 15.0 million (approximately $8.3 million at the March 31, 1999
exchange rate). Under the terms of this facility, the Company may, at its
option, borrow in the form of a line of credit or in the form of term debt.
For both of these credit agreements, at March 31, 1999, the Company had
borrowed approximately $18.5 million and has approximately $34.8 million
available. Of the $18.5 million outstanding as of March 31, 1999, $13.0 million
represents line of credit borrowings and $5.5 million represents term debt. As
of March 31, 1999, the Company's DM-denominated borrowings under these credit
facilities amounted to DM 10.0 million (approximately $5.5 million at the March
31, 1999 exchange rate).
As the Company has significant international operations, its
DM-denominated borrowings do not represent a significant foreign exchange risk.
On an overall basis, the Company monitors its cash and debt positions in each
currency in an effort to reduce its foreign exchange risk.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended March
31, 1999 was $29.8 million. The Company used $11.8 million in investing
activities, primarily for internally developed software and the purchase of
property, plant and equipment. Net financing activities for the first nine
months of fiscal 1999 used $12.0 million, primarily for the net repayment of
line of credit borrowings.
The Company anticipates that its cash flow from operations along with
available lines of credit, in conjunction with other lines of credit for which
the Company may be eligible or lines of credit to be renewed, are sufficient to
provide the working capital needs of the Company for the foreseeable future. The
Company anticipates that its property, plant and equipment expenditures for
fiscal 1999 will continue to increase for the remainder of the fiscal year but
should be lower than fiscal 1998's expenditures of $9.3 million.
Results of Operations - Third Quarter and Nine Month Comparisons
The Company recorded diluted net income of $0.45 per common share in the
third quarter of fiscal 1999, compared with diluted net income of $0.35 per
common share in the third quarter of fiscal 1998. Net income for the nine months
ended March 31, 1999, on a diluted basis, was $1.03 per share compared with
$0.81 per common share for the first nine months of fiscal 1998. For the
quarter, the increased net income was primarily due to higher sales volumes and
gross margins, partially offset by higher operating expenses as a percentage of
sales. The year-to-date increase in net income was primarily due to higher sales
volumes along with lower operating expenses as a percentage of sales and higher
gross margins. Fiscal 1998's year-to-date results include an after-tax charge of
$0.4 million, or $0.03 per share, relating to an accounting charge associated
with a change in the treatment of capitalized business process re-engineering
costs.

Revenue of $85.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 increased
$14.0 million, or 19.8%, compared to the same period last year. For the first
nine months of fiscal 1999, revenue increased $35.4 million to $232.4 million,
or 18.0%, over the same period in fiscal 1998. A comparison of the sales mix for
fiscal years 1999 and 1998 is as follows:

</TABLE>
For the third quarter and year-to-date, both hardware and software sales
continued to increase in absolute dollars over the prior year, but declined as a
percentage of sales, primarily due to the continued growth of the Company's
service business. Service sales increased in absolute dollars and as a
percentage of total sales for the third quarter and nine months year-to-date in
comparison to the prior year primarily due to increased installation and support
revenues.
Combined hardware and software revenues for the third quarter of fiscal
1999 increased $8.4 million, or 18.1%, while service revenues increased $5.6
million, or 22.9%, over the same period a year earlier. On a year-to-date basis,
hardware and software sales increased $21.4 million, or 16.9%, while service
revenues increased $14.0 million, or 19.8%, over the same period a year earlier.
Cost of sales, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 49.2% for the
third quarter of fiscal 1999 from 52.5% for the third quarter of fiscal 1998.
For the first nine months of fiscal 1999 and 1998, cost of sales, as a
percentage of revenue, was 50.0% and 50.5% respectively. Cost of sales for
hardware and software products, as a percentage of related revenue, was 50.1% in
the third quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to 53.5% for the same quarter a year
earlier and 51.0% compared to 49.6% for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 and
1998, respectively. For the quarter this decrease was the result of improved
margins associated with hardware sales, primarily the new lower cost PC
Workstation released late in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 and the favorable
effect of increased software sales. Year-to-date, hardware and software cost of
sales, as a percentage of related revenue, increased as a result of decreased
margins associated with hardware sales in the first six months of fiscal 1999,
which more than offset the effect of increased software sales.
Service costs, as a percentage of service revenue, decreased to 46.1% in the
third quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to 50.7% in the same quarter in fiscal
1998. Service costs, as a percentage of service revenue, decreased to 48.2% in
the first nine months of fiscal 1999 compared to 52.0% for the same period in
fiscal 1998. The third quarter and year-to-date decrease in comparison to the
prior year was due to continued expansion of the Company's customer base and the
ability of the Company to increase service revenues at a rate in excess of
service costs. During the third quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company entered into
a Service Contractor Agreement with Vanstar Corporation ("Vanstar"), a
California-based company, which is in the business of providing certain
installation, repair and maintenance services for certain MICROS major account
and district customers. MICROS and Vanstar continue to work together in

Results of Operations - Third Quarter and Nine Month Comparisons, Continued
an effort to better coordinate and address customer needs in the deployment of
Vanstar services. In those regions where the Vanstar services have not been
deployed, MICROS is currently servicing its customer base through its existing
network of MICROS dealers and MICROS district offices.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $5.7 million, or
30.9%, in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to the same period last
year. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses
increased to 28.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to 25.9% in the
third quarter of fiscal 1998 due primarily to increased personnel costs required
to meet current and anticipated sales growth. Additionally, the lower selling,
general and administrative expenses incurred in the third quarter of fiscal 1998
resulted from certain one-time expense reductions enacted in that quarter. For
the first nine months of fiscal 1999, selling, general and administrative
expenses, as a percentage of revenue, were 28.5% compared to 29.3% for the same
period a year earlier. The year-to-date decrease is due to sales growth at a
rate in excess of these expenses.
Research and development expenses (exclusive of capitalized software
development costs), which consist primarily of labor costs, decreased $0.4
million, or 9.5%, in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to the same
period a year earlier. Actual research and development expenditures, including
capitalized software development costs of $1.5 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 1999 and $3.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1998, decreased $1.9
million, or 26.8%, compared to the same period a year earlier. This decrease in
absolute dollars for the three-month period is primarily due to decreased
expenditures in the Company's hotel business, largely as a result of eliminating
high-cost outside software consultants/developers, or replacing such with
lower-cost software development employees. For the first nine months of fiscal
1999, research and development expenses (exclusive of capitalized software
development costs), which consist primarily of internal and sub-contracted labor
costs, increased $0.5 million, or 4.9%, compared to the same period a year
earlier. Actual research and development expenditures for the first nine months
of fiscal 1999, including capitalized software development costs of $6.0 million
in 1999, decreased $0.2 million, or 1.1%, compared to the same period a year
earlier.
Office closure costs relate to follow-on costs incurred in the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 associated with the Company's fourth quarter of fiscal
1998 permanent closure of its facility in Munich, Germany. These costs relate to
the relocation of former Munich employees to their new places of employment
within the Company.
Income from operations for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 was $13.1
million, or 15.4% of revenue, compared to income of $9.1 million, or 12.8% of
revenue, in the same period a year earlier. For the first nine months of fiscal
1999, income from operations was $31.4 million compared to income of $23.3
million a year earlier. The third quarter income from operations increased over
the prior year's comparable period due to higher sales and increased gross
margins, partially offset by higher operating expenses as a percentage of sales.
For the first nine months of fiscal 1999, the Company's higher dollar income
from operations is primarily due to higher sales, increased gross margins and
lower operating expenses as a percentage of sales.
Interest expense decreased 7.8% for the third quarter of fiscal 1999
compared to the same period a year ago as the Company repaid some of its debt
obligations. Interest expense for the first nine months in fiscal 1999 was $1.8
million compared to $1.2 million, an increase of 47.6%, for the comparable
period in fiscal 1998 primarily due to the Company's higher average debt level
during the first nine months of fiscal 1999 in comparison to the same period a
year ago.

For the Quarter Ended March 31,1999
Results of Operations - Third Quarter and Nine Month Comparisons, Continued
The effective tax rate for the third quarter and year-to-date of both
fiscal years 1999 and 1998 is 40.0%. The Company has not experienced any
significant shift in its mix of earnings that would require a change in its
effective tax rate.
Year 2000
The Company is continuing the process of reviewing its business systems,
and is querying its customers, vendors and resellers with respect to Year 2000
compliance issues. The "Year 2000 Issue" is the result of computer programs
being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year.
Any of the Company's computer programs that have time-sensitive software may
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This
could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of
operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices, or engage in normal business activities.
In 1997, the Company created a corporate-wide Year 2000 project team
representing all business units of the Company. The team was divided into three
segments, each of which was tasked with analyzing one of the following three
sets of issues: (i) Year 2000 compliance issues with respect to Company internal
information technology systems and non-information technology systems; (ii) Year
2000 compliance issues with respect to the information systems of certain key
Company vendors and suppliers; and (iii) Year 2000 compliance issues with
respect to Company products that the Company sells and licenses to its worldwide
customer base.
Year 2000 Compliance Issues with respect to Company Internal Systems
The Company's Management Information Systems Department assumed all Year
2000 obligations associated with testing, analyzing and implementing the
Company's internal information systems. Although these activities were not
formally assigned to the MIS department until 1997, the department had
nonetheless embraced such as part of its implementation of new enterprise
resources planning systems ("ERP") in 1996. This implementation involved
replacing all internal information systems with Oracle Applications Release
10.7. As part of this implementation, the Company required certification that
all Oracle products were Year 2000 compliant, which such certification has been
provided. On March 1, 1999, Micros upgraded the Oracle ERP systems to Release
11.0, Oracle's latest release. This upgrade assured that all critical ERP
systems are fully Year 2000 compliant. Internationally, the Company currently
intends to adopt Year 2000 compliant Oracle applications at certain central
locations. The Company expects to implement appropriate alternative solutions
to existing systems by September of 1999 at the non-central international
offices, where deemed appropriate or necessary.
Year 2000 Compliance Issues with respect to the Information Systems of Certain
Key Company Vendors and Suppliers
In addition to internal Year 2000 activities and the review and
remediation of the Company's internal information systems, the Company is in
contact with its key suppliers and vendors to assess their compliance. The
Company has received to date certain assurances from these suppliers and vendors
that any Year 2000 issues from which they suffer will not materially adversely
affect MICROS. The Company continues to elicit information where a vendor fails
to provide responses, or fails to provide complete responses. There can,
however, be no absolute assurance that there will not be a material adverse
effect on the Company if third parties do not convert their

systems in a timely manner and in a way that is compatible with the Company's
systems, or fail to disclose problems in their applications or support systems.
The Company believes that its current and future actions with suppliers will
minimize these risks.
Year 2000 Compliance Issues with respect to Company Products that the Company
Sells and Licenses to its Worldwide Customer Base
Finally, the Company is currently in the process of completing the testing
of its existing product offerings. The testing includes an analysis of both
standard products, currently offered, and all custom products that have been
offered or developed since 1995, which the Company currently supports. The
testing is not performed with respect to any legacy products that the Company
does not currently sell or support. In the event that the testing determines
that a product may not be Year 2000 compliant, the Company has or will develop
either a fix, or a migration path to a product that is Year 2000 compliant. As
part of the testing effort, MICROS engaged Oracle Corporation ("Oracle") to
examine and test certain proprietary time-sensitive software modules. Oracle has
completed its examination, having determined that, while there were several
immaterial non-compliant items, the code examined was Year 2000 compliant.
MICROS has or is in the process of addressing and correcting the issues
identified by Oracle. While certain potential issues have been identified to
date, the expense of upgrading product applications to be Year 2000 compliant
has not been material. The Company maintains a site on its web page which
details the products that the Company will test or has tested, and the Year 2000
compliance status thereof. The site is updated approximately every four weeks.
The last update was on May 5, 1999.
Year 2000 Compliance Costs
To date, the Company has expensed all incremental costs related to the
Year 2000 analysis and remediation efforts. Internal and external costs
specifically associated with modifying software for the Year 2000 will be
charged to expense as incurred. All of these costs are being funded through
operating cash flows. Management's current estimate (including the Year 2000
issues identified to date) is that the costs associated with the Year 2000 issue
should not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or
financial position of the Company in any given quarter. However, the Company is
not certain that it has fully identified such impact or whether the Company can
resolve it without disruption of its business or incurring significant expense.
To date, not including the costs incurred to upgrade the Company's internal
management information systems, the Company has incurred approximately $0.9
million in expenditures related to the Year 2000 issue. Costs capitalized to
date to implement the Company's new internal management information systems,
which addressed not only the Year 2000 issues, but also a large variety of other
required and desired informational and processing needs, are approximately $6.4
million.
The Company believes it is diligently addressing the Year 2000 issues and
that it will satisfactorily resolve significant Year 2000 problems. The Company
anticipates completing substantially all of its Year 2000 projects during fiscal
1999, with major completion milestones being targeted for the third and fourth
quarters of fiscal 1999. Targets for third quarter have been satisfied, which
uncovered certain non-compliant items, all of which have now been repaired, or
resources have been identified to repair by the end of June 1999. The status of
all of these efforts has been provided on the Company's Year 2000 Internet web
page. In the event that the Company determines that it may fail to achieve
future milestones, additional internal resources will be focused on completing
these projects or developing contingency plans.

For the Quarter Ended March 31, 1999
Results of Operations - Third Quarter and Nine Month Comparisons, Continued
Based on preliminary reviews from presently available information, it is
believed that with the Company's current installation of a new business
operating system, and the significant capital equipment purchases in recent
years to upgrade the Company's technological capabilities, the additional costs
of addressing potential problems are not expected to have a material adverse
impact on the Company's results of operations, liquidity and capital resources.
However, if the Company, its large customers, or significant suppliers are
unable to resolve such processing issues in a timely manner, it could have a
material impact on the results of operations, liquidity or capital resources of
the Company. Moreover, the Company's expectations with respect to future costs
and the timely completion of its Year 2000 modifications are subject to
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from what has
been discussed above. Factors that could influence the amount of future costs
and the effective timing of remediation efforts include the success of the
Company in identifying systems that contain two-digit year codes, the nature and
amount of testing required to upgrade or replace each of the affected systems,
and the success of the Company's key suppliers in addressing the Year 2000
issue.
Contingency Plans
The Company is currently developing a contingency plan for its products.
This plan includes having had Oracle test and verify certain products, and
increasing current staffing levels in customer service functions for the three
month period commencing December 1, 1999. While the Company believes that its
current product set will not have any material Year 2000 issues, the Company
anticipates increased call volume during this period. With respect to internal
information systems, MICROS does not intend to develop a full contingency plan.
Given the complexity of the Company's Oracle enterprise resource planning
system, it is neither practical nor cost effective to develop a back-up
contingency approach. For this reason, and as noted above, MICROS has thoroughly
tested and certified the current internal systems so as to reduce the risk that
all problems have been addressed prior to January 1, 2000. Additionally, in
order to test further the internal systems, MICROS plans on conducting a "dry
run" test in August of 1999 whereby the dates contained in the enterprise
resource planning system are scrolled forward to January 1, 2000. However, Year
2000 issues in the Company's enterprise resource planning system, if gone
undetected or uncorrected, could have a material adverse impact on the Company's
results of operations or financial condition.
Euro Conversion
On January 1, 1999, certain member nations of the European Economic and
Monetary Union ("EMU") adopted a common currency, the Euro. For a three-year
transition period, both the Euro and individual participants' currencies will
remain in circulation. After June 30, 2002, the Euro will be the sole legal
tender for EMU countries. The adoption of the Euro will affect a multitude of
financial systems and business applications as the commerce of these nations
will be transacted in the Euro and the existing national currency during the
transition period. As of March 31, 1999, of the eleven countries currently
admitted to the EMU, the Company has subsidiary operations in six of those
countries and distributor relationships in the remaining five countries.

MICROS is currently addressing Euro related issues and its impact on
information systems, currency exchange rate risk, taxation, contracts,
competition and pricing. Action plans currently being implemented are expected
to result in compliance with all laws and regulations; however, there can be no
certainty that such plans will be successfully implemented or that external
factors will not have an adverse effect on the Company's operations. Moreover,
there is still some uncertainty with respect to the interpretation of certain
Euro regulations, and the impact of the regulations on the Company's Euro
implementation. Any costs associated with the adoption of the Euro will be
expensed as incurred and the Company currently does not expect these costs to be
material to its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Summary
The Company has recently experienced rapid revenue growth at a rate that
it believes has significantly exceeded that of the global market for
point-of-sale computer systems and property management information systems
products for the hospitality industry. Although the Company currently
anticipates continued revenue growth at a rate in excess of such market, and
therefore an increase in its overall market share, it does not expect to
maintain growth at recent levels and there can be no assurance that any
particular level of growth can be achieved. In addition, due to the competitive
nature of the market, the Company continues to experience gross margin pressure
on its products and service offerings, and the Company expects this to continue.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to increase
sufficiently sales of its higher margin products, including software and
services, to prevent future declines in the Company's overall gross margin.
Moreover, some of the statements contained herein not based on historic
facts are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Past
performance is not necessarily a strong or reliable indicator of future
performance. Actual results could differ materially from past results, estimates
or projections. Some of the additional risks and uncertainties are: product
demand and market acceptance, including demand and acceptance for the new 3400
QSA and the new 3700 POS systems; implementation of a cost-effective service
structure capable of servicing increasingly complex software systems in
increasingly more remote locations; achieving increased sales of higher margin
software products; hiring and retention of qualified employees with sufficient
technical expertise; adverse economic or political conditions; unexpected
currency fluctuations; impact of competitive products and pricing on margins;
product development delays; technological difficulties associated with new
product releases, including those with respect to the Fidelio next generation
integrated property management and central reservation system technologies; and
controlling expenses. These and other risks are disclosed in the Company's
releases and SEC filings, including in the section titled "Business and
Investment Risks; Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements", in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company has experienced rapid growth internationally. MICROS'
significant international business and presence does expose the Company to
certain market risks, such as currency, interest rate and political risks. With
respect to currency risk, the Company transacts business in over 25 different
currencies through its foreign subsidiaries. The fluctuation of currencies
impacts sales and profitability. Frequently, sales and the costs associated with
such sales are not always denominated in the same currency. Given the fact that
the Company transacts business in many different currencies, adverse declines in
certain currencies can be offset by favorable advances in other currencies.
While the Company has not to date invested in financial instruments designed to
protect against currency fluctuations, the Company will continue to evaluate the
need to do so in the future.
Additionally, the Company is subject to interest rate fluctuations in
foreign countries to the extent that the Company elects to borrow in the local
foreign currency. In the past, this has not been an issue of concern as the
Company has the capacity to elect to borrow in other currencies with more
favorable interest rates. While the Company has not to date invested in
financial instruments designed to protect against interest rate fluctuations,
the Company will continue to evaluate the need to do so in the future.
Finally, the Company is subject to political risk, especially in
developing countries with uncertain or unstable political structures or regimes.
The Company is also subject to the effects of, and changes in, laws and
regulations, other activities of governments, agencies and similar
organizations, especially in light of the current weak Asian economic
conditions, which may prompt certain legislative reform. The Company does not
believe at this time that it is exposed to unusual political risk that could
have a material adverse impact on the Company.

Part II - Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
MICROS is and has been involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal
course of business. The Company is of the opinion, based upon presently
available information and the advice of counsel concerning pertinent legal
matters, that any resulting liability should not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's results of operations or financial position. On March 25, 1997,
Budgetel Inns, Inc. ("Budgetel") filed suit against MICROS in the United States
Federal District Court in the Eastern District of Wisconsin. Budgetel alleges,
among other things, that MICROS breached a March 1993 software support agreement
by failing to provide full support to this software package licensed to Budgetel
in 1993. As the United States District Court Judge granted MICROS' motion to
dismiss four of the seven causes of action on June 22, 1998, with leave to
amend, Budgetel filed a first amended complaint on November 12, 1998. MICROS
filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on December 7, 1998. While the
ultimate outcome of litigation is uncertain, and while litigation is inherently
difficult to predict, the Company is of the opinion, based upon presently
available information and the advice of counsel concerning pertinent legal
matters, that resulting liability, if any, should not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
Items 2 through 4.
No events occurred during the quarter covered by the report that would
require a response to any of these items.
Item 5. Other Information
In anticipation of its move to new corporate headquarters in the Spring of
2000, MICROS has altered its real estate portfolio in two respects. First,
MICROS entered into an amendment to a capital lease for one of the corporate
headquarters buildings located at 12050 Baltimore Avenue, Beltsville, Maryland.
As part of a comprehensive agreement, MICROS agreed to waive certain purchase
rights of the facility embodied in the original capital lease, including the
right to purchase the facility in 2009 for $10.00. MICROS also entered into a
standard operating lease with the owner of the facility pursuant to which MICROS
agreed to continue to rent portions of the facility until March 31, 2000. In
consideration of MICROS' entering into the agreements, MICROS received a
one-time cash payment from the owner of the facility. As of February 1999, the
Company's carrying values of the combined land and building along with the
capital lease obligation were $3.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively.
During the third quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company removed these items from
its balance sheet at a small gain, which will be recognized over a 14 month
period beginning February 1999, after consideration of proceeds and transaction
costs.
Second, MICROS has entered into a Real Estate Purchase Agreement pursuant
to which MICROS will sell one of the corporate headquarters buildings located at
12000 Baltimore Avenue, Beltsville, Maryland. It is currently anticipated that
this sale will be consummated in June of 1999, after which MICROS shall lease
the space for a term of seven months, renewable on a month to month basis. As of
March 31, 1999, the Company's carrying values of the combined land and building
along with the long term debt collateralized by that property was $2.3 million
and $0.9 million, respectively. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, upon
consummation of the transaction, the Company will remove these items from its
balance sheet at a small gain, after consideration of proceeds and transaction
costs.
