                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


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 the MICROS Systems, Inc. 401(K) Retirement Plan (the "Plan") at December 31,
1999 and 1998, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States, 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 conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of Assets Held
for Investment Purposes at End of Year is presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements
but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the
Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

MICROS SYSTEMS, INC.
401(K) RETIREMENT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 employees of the Company who have
        completed three consecutive months of service and are age twenty-one or
        older. Eligible employees may enroll in the Plan on the first day of the
        plan year quarter coincident with or next following the date on which
        eligibility criteria are met. The Plan is subject to the provisions of
        the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

        In April 1999, the plan assets of the Merchants Information Systems
        401(k) Plan were merged with and into the MICROS Systems, Inc. 401(k)
        Retirement Plan.

        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 ($10,000 per taxpayer for both the
        1999 and 1998 calendar years). Participants may also contribute amounts
        representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or
        contribution plans.

        The Company contributes a guaranteed 50% of the first 5% of a
        participant's contribution. Additionally, at the end of each plan year
        the Plan provides for the availability of discretionary year-end profit
        sharing contributions, depending upon profits and Board of Directors
        approval.

        There were no such discretionary contributions granted during 1999 or
        1998.

        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. Participants immediately vest upon death or disability.

        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.

MICROS SYSTEMS, INC.
401(K) RETIREMENT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        E.   FORFEITED ACCOUNTS
        In 1999 and 1998, employer contributions were reduced by $90,386 and
        $59,733, respectively, from forfeited nonvested accounts. These amounts
        were applied against employer contributions to the Putnam Money Market
        Fund in each respective year.

        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 the Plan Trustee/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. These
        transactions are treated as transfers to (from) the investment fund from
        (to) the Participant Notes fund. Notes 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 Trustee/Sponsors, and
        approximate fair value. Interest rates on notes outstanding at December
        31, 1999 ranged from 6.0% to 9.5%. Principal and interest are paid
        ratably through bi-weekly payroll deductions over a period not extending
        beyond five years from the date of the note. Loans may extend past five
        years if it is determined at the time of the loan that the funds will be
        used to acquire the principal residence of the participant.

        H.   ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
        The Company pays Emjay Corporation 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.

2.   SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A.   BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
        The Plan's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
        accounting.

        B.   USE OF ESTIMATES
        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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        C.   INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION
        The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Shares of registered
        investment companies are valued at quoted market prices which represent
        the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The Company
        stock is valued at its quoted market price. Participant notes receivable
        are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value.

        Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
        Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded
        on the ex-dividend date.

        D.   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.
