PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
A. GENERAL
American Software, through its subsidiaries, develops, markets and supports
enterprise wide Supply Chain Management (TM) application software systems to be
used in a variety of IBM and IBM plug-compatible mainframe, IBM midframe and
Unix open client/server computers. The Company's software enables the customer
to perform various business tasks principally in the areas of: (i) Logistics
Distribution, (ii) Manufacturing, (iii) Purchasing and Customer Order
Processing, and (iv) Financial Control. The Company also provides support for
its software products, such as software enhancements, documentation updates,
customer education, consulting, systems integration services and maintenance.
The Company markets and supports its Supply Chain Management application
software products to a wide range of end users, including manufacturers of
building materials, chemicals, consumer goods, electronics, food products,
pharmaceuticals, pulp and paper, steel, and textiles, as well as retail,
wholesale distributors and financial institutions, the health care industry,
petroleum producers, public utilities and the transportation industry. The
Company broadly classifies its products as addressing the supply chain
management requirements of the world's enterprises.
Computer software consists of coded instructions that control the computer's
internal operations. There are two general classes of computer software: system
software and application software. System software controls the basic hardware
operations. Application software, which is the type developed and licensed by
the Company, directs the computer to perform specific tasks or functions and
produces reports for use in many diverse applications.
Application software for mainframe, midframe and open systems client server
computers is generally available in forms ranging from standard packages to
custom-designed programs. The Company primarily offers standard software
packages. The Company's management believes there is a significant long-term
trend toward the purchase of systems integration services by customers who have
acquired the Company's application products.
B. PRODUCTS
The Company's strategy has been to create an integrated line of standard
application software operating on three strategic computer platforms: (1) IBM
Mainframe or compatible, (2) IBM Midrange--AS/400, and (3) UNIX--IBM RS/6000--
HP-9000--Sequent and other unix platforms. These products are designed to be
used either singly or in combination to assist customers in forecasting and
inventory management, in purchasing and materials control and in order
processing and receivables control. The products are written in various
standard programming languages utilized for business application software,
including ANS COBOL, COBOL II, Micro Focus COBOL, UNIX, AIX and other
programming languages, and many have both on-line and batch capabilities. An
integral part of this strategy has been to integrate unique characteristics of
personal computers as workstations or clients in the products provided by the
Company. ES/9000, RS/6000 and AS/400 are registered trademarks of the
International Business Machine Corporation. HP-9000 is a registered trademark
of Hewlett Packard Corporation. The following is a summary of the Company's
main software product groups.
LOGISTICS DISTRIBUTION SOFTWARE
The Company's logistics distribution software consists of an integrated
system of five software modules designed to provide the user with accurate
sales forecasts in order to minimize investment in inventory and to distribute
inventory more effectively. These modules perform primarily the following
functions:
1. Demand Forecasting--Analyzes historical demand for products sold or goods
and materials used, and projects future demand.
2
<PAGE>
2. Distribution Requirements Planning--Recommends a time-phased replenishment
plan for all levels in a distribution network, utilizing sales forecasts,
existing inventory information, and inventory control parameters.
3. Inventory Planning--Computes inventory safety stock and ordering
quantities on the basis of management-specified customer service levels and
inventory turnover objectives.
4. Inventory Deployment--Determines most effective use of available inventory
if adequate inventory is not available, and allocates the available quantity
such that each warehouse receives an equitable portion.
5. Vehicle Scheduling and Loading--Specifies the actual replenishment
quantities that should be shipped from a source location to a receiving
location, taking into consideration the capacity and number of available
vehicles.
MANUFACTURING SOFTWARE
The Company's manufacturing software is a comprehensive state-of-the-art
business application for planning, controlling and executing manufacturing
activities. The Company's multi-plant design ensures enterprisewide visibility
and consistency. It also accomodates inter-plant dependencies while providing
plant by plant flexibility in operations. The modules that make up this
application set are:
1. Master Scheduling--Prepares a production plan consistent with existing and
anticipated customer orders, available inventory, production capacity, and
available resources.
2. Material Requirements Planning--Calculates manufacturing and purchasing
requirements at appropriate manufacturing stages.
3. Bill of Material--Maintains information on all component parts for each
product.
4. Capacity Planning--Projects work loads at various work centers based upon
the master schedule and/or material requirements plan.
5. Production Order Status--Provides inventory quantities and current
manufacturing order status and inventory information.
6. Route and Work Center Maintenance--Acts as a storehouse of information
that is accessed by other manufacturing systems and establishes production work
center routings.
7. Shop Floor Control--Provides current order status for each individual shop
operation.
8. CMAT--Provides for standard cost development and comparison of standard
versus actual costs.
9. Flow Manufacturing--also most commonly referred to as just-in-time,
represents a revolutionary approach to the design, manufacture, and delivery of
products by businesses to their markets.
PURCHASING & CUSTOMER ORDER PROCESSING SOFTWARE
The Company's purchasing and customer order processing software consists of
an integrated system of six modules which provides information concerning the
status of purchasing activities, customer orders, inventory position and
internal inventory requisition requirements. Several modules support the
general operational functions of most types of businesses and are frequently
referred to as cross-industry modules. These modules perform primarily the
following functions:
1. Inventory Control and Accounting--Processes inventory activities, provides
accurate status updates, and maintains price and cost details.
2. Purchasing--Produces updates, and continuously monitors the status of
requisitions and purchase orders for goods and services.
3. Material Request--Communicates material requirements to purchasing
functions, resulting in cohesive, centralized procurement activities.
4. Item Information Management System--Converts manufacturer's part numbers
into the user's inventory item identification system and provides real time
inquiry and reports on the status of user's inventory.
5. Bid (Request for Quotation)--Produces bids from existing data, updates
bids with vendors' responses, selects the desired bid and produces the
resulting purchase order in an on-line real-time environment.
3
<PAGE>
6. Customer Order Processing--Performs customer order entry, status inquiry,
order processing, and shipping and invoicing functions.
FINANCIAL CONTROL SOFTWARE
The Company's financial control software provides comprehensive financial
solutions such as financial reporting, budgeting, asset management, cash
management, credit management and receivables management. These systems assist
in resolving customers' specific financial control issues faster and more
effectively. The specific aplications available are:
1. General Ledger and Budgeting--This system is comprised of five basic sub-
systems which provide financial data base, general ledger, transaction
processing, management reporting and budget planning functions.
2. Accounts Receivable--Provides the functions and features needed to support
cash application for trade receivables and maintains real-time customer account
information.
3. Accounts Payable--Processes invoices, creates separate accounts for
multiple companies, maintains vendor history, activity and standard terms,
prints checks and projects cash flow while processing all types of employee
expenses such as travel, entertainment, relocation, tuition refund, etc.;
identifies reimbursable and non-reimbursable expenses and processes central
billing.
4. Capital Project Accounting--Tracks and accumulates project commitments and
expenditures and then compares to budgets.
5. Fixed Asset Accounting--Maintains property and tax records, and prepares
depreciation schedules for accounting and tax purposes.
UTILITIES INDUSTRY MODULE
6. Continuing Property Records--Accounts for public utilities property,
including both specific and mass property, maintains property and tax records,
and prepares depreciation schedules for accounting and tax purposes.
C. CLIENT/SERVER PRODUCTS
The Company developed several products using client server technology as
early as 1985. This development activity is expected to continue across the
Company's existing portfolio of systems as well as any new systems development
in the future. Current products using client server technology include ENSOFT
LPW(TM)--a client server version integrating the Company's major Logistics
Distribution systems and ENSOFT SCP(TM)--a client server version integrating
the Company's major Manufacturing Planning systems with Logistics Distribution.
In June of 1994, the Company announced its next generation of software products
based on a CASE model driven development concept* The new product line is
targeted to the AS/400 and UNIX Open Systems, client server architecture.
D. TRANSPORTATION SOFTWARE SUBSIDIARY
In June 1992, the Company acquired Distribution Sciences, Inc. (DSI) based in
Chicago, Illinois. DSI is a leading provider of software solutions addressing
the transportation cost component of a customer's product acquisition and
distribution costs.
DSI is operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary with its own sales and support
organization. DSI and the Company share leads and customer lists to achieve
market synergies.
E. INTEGRATED SYSTEM DESIGN
While the Company's software applications can be used individually, they are
designed to be combined as integrated systems to meet unique customer
requirements. The user may select virtually any combination of modules to form
an integrated solution to a particular business problem. The license fee for
such a solution could range from $7,000 for a single module to in excess of
$4,000,000 for a multi-module, multiple-user solution incorporating the full
range of Company products.
4
<PAGE>
The Company markets its products under the Supply Chain Management suite of
applications. Supply Chain Management is a business concept which addresses new
techniques and processes that are critical to reengineering today's businesses.
Within this enterprise application suite several unique combinations of modules
are marketed as industry-specific business solutions. Logistics Distribution is
marketed to companies involved in product distribution while Manufacturing is
targeted to the industrial and product manufacturing industry.
The Company offers customer-unique solutions. In addition to combining
modules to form a solution, the user may also include selected applied
technology modules or templates to be included with each application. Through
an internally-developed computer automated software factory approach, the
Company automatically assembles and delivers the combination of modules and
options for each user's specific requirements without the need for costly
manual programming and customization.
Customers frequently require services beyond those provided by the Company's
standard arrangements. To meet those customers' needs, the Company established
a separate professional services division which provides specialized business
and software implementation consulting, custom programming, on-site
installation, system-to-system interfacing and extensive training. These
services, frequently referred to as systems integration services, are provided
for an additional fee normally under a separate contract, based upon time and
materials utilized.
F. MARKETING AND SALES
Typically, the Company's customers are medium-sized companies or divisions of
larger companies with substantial data processing budgets. The Company has
licensed its application software to approximately 1,650 customers. No single
customer accounted for more than ten percent of the Company's revenues in
fiscal 1995.
First-time customers may license a single module or a system composed of
several modules. These customers often license other modules to expand the
range of software available to them, and may also license additional modules or
systems similar to those already licensed for use at additional locations.
The Company sells its products directly to the end-user through its sales and
presales staff of approximately 105 persons located in seven (7) areas
worldwide: Mid America (23), Northeast (18), Southern (31), Western (10),
European (10), Canada (4), and Asia Pacific (9). The presales staff provide
consultation, advice and assistance to the sales executives and the customer in
selecting an appropriate configuration of application software modules to
address the user's needs. The Company obtains sales leads from its advertising
in trade publications, its participation in computer industry trade shows and
exhibitions, Company-conducted seminars and telemarketing activities, and
referrals from existing customers.
The Company also has joint marketing arrangements with a number of other
software and hardware manufacturers under which each party seeks to market its
own product or services in conjunction with products or services of the other
party. Those software and hardware manufacturers include Applied Data Research
Inc.; Computer Associates, Inc.; Information Builders Inc., now part of
Sterling Software Inc.; Intermec Corporation; Interactive Images Inc.;
Syntellect, Inc.; Deloitte & Touche LLP, Price Waterhouse LLP, Ernst & Young
LLP, IBM International Business Machines Inc.; Electronic Data Systems Corp.
(EDS); Software AG of North America, Inc.; Hewlett Packard; Sequent Computer
System Inc.; and Sybase, Inc.
In 1995, the Company continued its program, begun in fiscal 1988, to develop
a network of sales agents to support its sales internationally. These agents
along with a designated American Software employed Country Manager are
establishing a national presence for the Company in targeted countries
throughout Asia-Pacific and Europe.
G. LICENSES
American Software, like many business application software firms, typically
enters into license agreements which grant non-exclusive rights to use its
products. The Company's standard license agreements contain provisions designed
to prevent disclosure and unauthorized use of the Company's software. These
5
<PAGE>
agreements warrant that the Company's products will function in accordance with
the specifications set forth in its product documentation. These licenses are
generally granted for a term of ninety-nine years and provide that, for a one-
time fee, the customer may use the software to process its data at a single
facility for a specified division or divisions. A significant portion of the
license fee is generally payable upon the delivery of product documentation,
with the balance due upon installation.
H. INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT
As additional cost options, the Company provides Implementation Services and
customized support. Implementation services and customized support include
installation of the Company's software, project planning and management, and
training of the customer's user and systems personnel on the use of the
software system. The customer receives documentation manuals which describe the
system's features and its method of operation. The user is normally entitled to
software product enhancements and maintenance for a period of six months at no
additional charge. The Company's software products are continually enhanced and
improved to accommodate technological changes and other factors which may
affect the customer's information requirements. To receive maintenance, which
includes enhancements, from the Company after the initial period, customers pay
fees which are based on the then-current price of the product.
As a part of its support service, the Company provides experienced
application and data processing personnel to answer telephone inquiries on a
24-hours-a-day, seven days-a-week basis, and furnishes consulting support in
implementing and maintaining the systems. In addition, training courses and
documentation materials are available to train customers' personnel and to
update them on new system features.
In fiscal 1992, the Company began to market its professional and data
processing resources on an outsourcing basis. Outsourcing is the provision of
data processing services, normally under long-term contract, by outside
providers. The Company has entered into 25 outsourcing contracts as of July 14,
1995 to provide data processing and support services on terms of up to five
years. The Company believes outsourcing represents a significant growth
opportunity by providing a basis for predictable long-term recurring revenues.
To complement customer support, the Company and its product users actively
participate in its User Group Association. Established in 1980, the User Group
exchanges ideas and techniques for use of the Company's products and provides a
forum for customers' suggestions for product development and enhancement. User
Group meetings include guest speakers who are recognized authorities in their
areas of expertise. During fiscal 1995, approximately 1,200 customer
representatives representing approximately 500 companies attended these User
Group meetings.
I. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
American Software is committed to the development and acquisition of new
products and to the continued enhancement of its existing products. During
fiscal 1995, 1994, and 1993, the Company expensed approximately $5,200,000,
$4,350,000 and $5,078,000, respectively, for research and development. In
addition, the Company capitalized $7,352,301, $7,315,470, and $8,610,918 in
software development costs during fiscal years 1995, 1994, and 1993,
respectively, in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 86. The Company's new internal product development and
enhancements of existing products include two categories: research and
development expenditures and additions to capitalized computer software
development costs. These combined categories totaled $12,552,000, $11,665,000,
and $13,689,000 in fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, and
represented 60%, 38%, and 35%, respectively, of total license fee revenues in
those years.
The Company believes that a CASE (Model Driven Development) Architecture will
be important for its long-term growth and that this will be a multi-year
development effort. The Company employs approximately 200 persons in research,
development and enhancement activities. A significant portion of these
resources will be transitioned to the CASE project as other R&D development
obligations and initiatives are completed over the next several years.

<PAGE>
J. COMPETITION
The computer application software industry is highly competitive. In the
application software market, the Company competes directly with a number of
firms, including computer manufacturers, large diversified computer service
companies and independent suppliers of software products. Approximately six
firms that market mainframe application software products and ten firms that
market midrange and client/server application software products are significant
competitors for one or more of the Company's products. A number of these
competitors have financial, marketing, management and technical resources
substantially greater than those of the Company.
The Company's primary market for its software is finished goods distributors
and manufacturers, industrial manufacturers, utilities, public transportation
and health care providers on IBM mainframe, AS/400, RS/6000, HP-9000, Sequent
and other UNIX platforms. The company is transitioning from a primarily IBM
mainframe and AS/400 product set to include a more diversified offering of UNIX
Open Systems Client/Server applications to its product portfolio. As it makes
this transition plans are being put in place to help the current client base
transition to this new environment while still supporting their current
platforms.
The Company believes that purchasers of software products are principally
concerned with the range of product modules available, ease of integration,
variety of features, performance, simplicity of use, documentation, technical
support and training. The Company further believes that its software products
and services are competitive in these areas. Price considerations are a key
factor and the Company believes its pricing is competitive in its market. The
Company believes the market trend to open systems, allowing software to operate
across hardware platforms, will increase the number of competitors and
intensity of competition. Management believes that it is necessary for the
Company to expend significant development funds annually to maintain its
position in the marketplace.
K. TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS
The Company seeks to protect its proprietary interest in software products
and trade secrets. It maintains non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements
and other contractual arrangements with customers, consultants, employees, and
others. While the strict enforceability of such agreements cannot be assured,
the Company believes that they provide a deterrent to the use of information
which may be proprietary to the Company, and in the event of any breach of such
agreements, the Company intends to take appropriate legal action. It also
copyrights its programs and software documentation related to these programs.
In addition, certain trademarks of the Company have been registered, and others
have registration applications pending. Management believes that the
competitive position of the Company depends primarily on the technical
competence and creative ability of its personnel and that its business is not
materially dependent on copyright protection or trademarks.
L. EMPLOYEES
At April 30, 1995, the Company had 606 full-time employees, including 45
persons in accounting and administration, 253 in product development and
technical support, 188 in customer support and professional services, and 120
in marketing, sales and sales support. The Company believes that its continued
success will depend in part on its ability to continue to attract and retain
highly skilled technical, marketing and management personnel, who are in great
demand.
The Company has never had a work stoppage and no employees are represented
under collective bargaining arrangements. The Company considers its employee
relations to be excellent.
M. INTERNATIONAL SALES

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's corporate headquarters are located in an approximately 100,000
square foot office building owned by the Company at 470 East Paces Ferry Road,
N.E., Atlanta, Georgia.
The Company also leases a two-story 17,500 square foot building at 443 East
Paces Ferry Road, N.E. Atlanta, Georgia, which is used primarily for financial
administration. This building is owned by a limited partnership of which Thomas
L. Newberry and James C. Edenfield, the principal shareholders, are the sole
partners. The lease is for a term of fifteen (15) years, expiring December 31,
1996, at a current base rental of approximately $16.17 per square foot, subject
to increases based upon changes in the Consumer Price Index and periodic
adjustments based upon appraised market rates.
In January, 1989, the Company acquired a four-story 42,000 square foot
building used for additional office space at 3110 Maple Drive, N.E., Atlanta,
Georgia, along with a one-story 1,400 square foot building at 3116 Maple Drive
used for recruiting, and a one-story 13,000 square foot building at 3120 Maple
Drive which is used for office space.
In January, 1990, the Company entered into a seven-year operating lease for
26,000 square feet of space at 3423 Piedmont Road, Atlanta, Georgia, with the
option to obtain additional space in the building as it becomes available. This
is currently being used for client education and additional office space.
In May, 1990, the Company acquired a two-story 10,000 square foot building
used for additional office space at 480 East Paces Ferry Road, N.E. Atlanta,
Georgia, along with a one-story 4,000 square foot building at 490 East Paces
Ferry Road which is under lease to a restaurant.
The Company has entered into leases for sales offices located in various
cities in the U. S. and overseas. Normally, these leases are for terms of less
than five years and average 4,700 square feet of leasable space.
The Company owns a variety of electronic and computer equipment, including
seven mid-sized computers, consisting of one IBM 9370, five IBM AS/400s, and
one IBM 4381 and leases two IBM AS/400s, two IBM 3090 600Es, one IBM 3090-400J
and one IBM 9121 210, all of which are used for program development and
testing, outsourcing and product demonstrations.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On March 3, 1995, the Company and one of its subsidiaries filed an action
against a firm which provides services to licensees of the Company's software
products alleging copyright infringement, misappropriation of trade secrets,
unfair competition and related claims stemming from the defendant's activities
as they relate to some of the Company's intellectual property. American
Software, Inc. and American Software USA, Inc. v. The McKinley Group, Inc., et
al., United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta
Division. The complaint seeks injunctive relief as well as monetary damages.
The defendant has filed an answer to the Company's complaint and asserted
defenses to the Company's claims which among other things denies the validity
of the copyrights and trade secrets which are the subject of the main action by
the Company. The defendant also asserted counterclaims against the Company
including antitrust, defamation and other violations on the part of the
Company. The counterclaims do not contain a request for specific monetary
damages. Management believes that the defendant's defenses and counterclaims
are without merit and intends to vigorously pursue both the main action as well
as the defense of these counterclaims.
The Company is involved in various claims and other legal actions arising in
the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, based upon
consultation with legal counsel, any liability likely to arise from such
actions will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
position or results of operations of the Company.

AMERICAN SOFTWARE, INC.
1991 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN
(AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE AUGUST 23, 1994)
------------------------------------------------
1. PURPOSE. This Plan shall be known as the "1991 Employee Stock Option
Plan" (hereinafter referred to as "the Plan" or "this Plan"). The purpose of the
Plan is to provide certain key employees of American Software,Inc. (the
"Company") and its subsidiaries with additional incentive to increase their
efforts on the Company's behalf and to remain in the employ of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries by granting key employees from time to time options to
purchase Class A Common Shares of the Company.
The options granted under this Plan may, but need not, constitute
"incentive stock options" (referred to herein as "Incentive" options) within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"). An option granted which does not constitute an Incentive option shall
for purposes of the Plan constitute a "Non-Qualified" option. The terms
"subsidiary" or "subsidiaries" mean and include any corporation or other entity
at least a majority of the outstanding voting shares of which is, at the time,
directly or indirectly owned by the Company or by one or more subsidiaries.
2. SHARES. The shares to be optioned under the Plan shall be the Company's
Class A Common Shares, $0.10 par value (the "Shares"), which Shares may either
be authorized but unissued Shares or treasury Shares. The aggregate number of
Shares for which options may be granted under the Plan shall (subject to the
provisions of paragraph 8) be (i) 1,650,000 Shares (inclusive of the total
number of Shares with respect to which no options have been granted under the
Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan and Nonqualified Stock Option Plan
(collectively the "Prior Plans") on the Effective Date as provided in paragraph
15), plus (ii) the total number of Shares as to which options granted under the
Prior Plans or this Plan terminate (including options terminated upon the
granting of replacement options or otherwise) or expire without being wholly
exercised. New options may be granted under this Plan covering the number of
Shares to which such termination or expiration relates.
3. ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by the Employee Stock
Option Plan Committee (the "Committee") of the Company's Board of Directors (the
"Board"). The Committee shall consist of such members (not less than two) of the
Board as shall be appointed from time to time by the Board. No member of the
Committee while serving as such shall be eligible for participation in the Plan.
Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have exclusive power
to select the employees to whom options will be granted under the Plan, to
determine the number of options to be awarded to each employee selected and to
determine the time or times when options will be awarded. The Committee shall
have full power and authority to administer and interpret the Plan and to adopt
such rules, regulations, agreements and instruments for implementing the Plan
and for the conduct of its business as the Committee deems necessary or
advisable. The Committee's interpretation of the Plan, and all determinations
4786.2
<PAGE>
made by the Committee pursuant to the powers vested in it hereunder, shall be
conclusive and binding on all persons having any interest in the Plan or in any
options granted hereunder.
4. ELIGIBILITY. Participants in the Plan shall be selected by the Committee
from among key personnel of the Company or a subsidiary; provided, however, that
no director, officer or 10% shareholder (as such terms are defined pursuant to
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Company
shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. Options held by a person who
subsequently becomes a director, officer or 10% shareholder shall not be
affected by this restriction. Options shall be granted to individuals solely in
connection with their employment with the Company or a subsidiary.
5. GRANT OF OPTIONS. The Committee may from time to time grant options to
purchase Shares to such of the eligible employees as may be selected by the
Committee and for such number or numbers of shares as may be determined by the
Committee. Each grant of an option pursuant to this Plan shall be granted within
ten years from the date this plan is adopted by the board. Each grant of an
option pursuant to this Plan shall be made upon such terms and conditions as may
be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, subject to the terms,
conditions and limitations set forth in this Plan.
An individual optionee may be granted (i) an Incentive option, (ii) a
Non-Qualified option, or (iii) an Incentive option and a Non-Qualified option at
the same time.
6. TERMS, CONDITIONS, AND FORM OF OPTIONS. Each option shall be evidenced
by a written agreement ("option agreement") in such form as the Board shall from
time to time approve, which agreement shall comply with and be subject to the
following terms and conditions:
6.1 OPTION EFFECTIVE DATE. Each option agreement shall specify an
effective date, which shall be the date on which the option is granted by the
Committee.
6.2 OPTION TERM. (a) An option shall in no event be exercisable after
the expiration of ten years from the effective date of the option. In addition,
and in limitation of the above, the option period of any option shall terminate
three months after the termination of the option holder's employment by the
Company for any reason except the Retirement (as hereinafter defined), death or
disability of the option holder-employee (the "optionee").
(b) (i) The term "Retirement" means the voluntary termination of
employment by an option holder whose age and/or years of employment qualify that
employee for normal retirement under the policies of the Company in effect from
time to time.
(ii) For any option granted on or before August 23, 1994, the
Committee may in its discretion amend that option, on an individual basis, to
permit the exercise of such option beyond the date of Retirement, through the
expiration date of the option.
-2-
<PAGE>
(iii) The Committee may in its discretion provide in standard
option grant agreements that any option granted after August 23, 1994 may be
exercised after the date of Retirement, through the expiration date of the
option.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no option may be exercised after
the expiration of ten years from the effective date of the option, nor may an
option be exercised beyond the amount which is vested as of the date of
Retirement.
(c) In the event of termination of employment due to the death or
disability of an optionee, the option period of the option held by him upon the
date of such termination shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) twelve months
after the date of the optionee's death or termination due to disability, as the
case may be, or (b) the date of termination of such option as determined by his
option agreement. In the event of termination of an optionee's employment due to
the death of the optionee, such optionee's options may be exercised during the
12-month period by his estate or by the person who acquired the right to
exercise such options through bequest or inheritance.
As used herein, "disability" shall mean the inability of the employee to
engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically
determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in
death or has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of at
least twelve months.
No transfer of an option by an optionee by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution shall be effective unless the Company shall have been
furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of the will and/or such other
evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the
transfer and the acceptance by the successor-in-interest or successors-in-
interest of the terms and conditions of the option.
(d) If an optionee is placed on leave of absence status by the Company
or any subsidiary, any then exercisable option shall be suspended at such time.
If an optionee is placed on lay-off status by the Company or any subsidiary,
any then exercisable option may be exercised during the following period of
three months and shall be suspended thereafter. In either case, the unexercised
portion of the option shall either (i) terminate three months after the
optionee's termination of employment with the Company and its subsidiaries or
(ii) be reinstated upon such optionee being re-employed from leave of absence or
lay-off status by the Company or any subsidiary.
6.3 EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price of options shall be the price per
share fixed by the Committee (the "Exercise Price"); provided, however, that the
Exercise Price per Share for Incentive options shall not be less than the fair
market value of a Share on the date the option is granted. In the event that the
Shares are then listed on an established stock exchange, such fair market value
shall be deemed to be the closing price of the Shares on such stock exchange on
the day the option is granted or, if no sale of the Shares shall have been made
on any stock exchange on that day, the fair market value shall be determined as
such price for the
-3-
<PAGE>
next preceding day upon which a sale shall have occurred. In the event that the
Shares are not listed upon an established exchange but are quoted on the
National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System
("NASDAQ"), the fair market value shall be deemed to be closing price for the
Shares as quoted on NASDAQ on the day the option is granted. If no sale of the
Shares shall have been made on NASDAQ on that day, the fair market value shall
be determined by such prices on the next preceding day on which a sale shall
have occurred. In the event that the Shares are neither listed on an established
stock exchange nor quoted on NASDAQ, the fair market value on the day the option
is granted shall be determined by the Committee.
6.4 NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. An option shall not be transferable
by the optionee otherwise than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution
or by a qualified domestic relations order, and shall be exercised during the
lifetime of the optionee only by the optionee or by his guardian or legal
representative. No option or interest therein may be transferred, assigned,
pledged or hypothecated by the optionee during this lifetime, whether by
operation of law or otherwise, or be made subject to execution, attachment or
similar process.
7. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. An option granted pursuant to this Plan shall be
exercisable at any time within the option period, subject to the terms and
conditions of such option. Exercise of any option shall be made by the delivery,
during the period that such option is exercisable, to the Company in person or
by mail of (i) written notice from the optionee stating that he is exercising
such option and (ii) the payment of the aggregate purchase price of all Shares
as to which such option is then exercised. Such aggregate purchase price shall
be paid to the Company at the time of exercise. Payment shall normally be made
by cash or check; provided, however, that in its sole discretion the Committee
may approve of payment in whole or in part by the giving of a note with adequate
stated interest or by the surrender of common stock. Upon the exercise of an
option in compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, and upon the receipt
by the Company of the payment for said Shares, the Company shall (i) deliver or
cause to be delivered to the optionee so exercising his option a certificate or
certificates for the number of Shares with respect to which the option is so
exercised and payment is so made, and (ii) register or cause such Shares to be
registered in the name of the exercising optionee.
8. CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE. Appropriate adjustments shall be made
to the price of the Shares and the number of Shares subject to outstanding
options and the number of Shares issuable under this Plan if there are any
changes in the Shares by reason of stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock
splits, mergers, recapitalizations or consolidations.
9. CONTROLLING TERMS. Option agreements pertaining to options granted
pursuant hereto may include conditions that are more (but not less) restrictive
to the optionee than the conditions contained herein and, in such event, the
more restrictive conditions shall apply.
10. TERMINATION OF THE PLAN. This Plan shall terminate upon the close of
business of the day preceding the tenth anniversary of the approval of this Plan
by the Board unless it shall have been sooner terminated by the Board or by
reason of there having been granted and
-4-
<PAGE>
fully exercised stock options covering all of the Shares subject to this Plan.
Upon such termination, no further options may be granted hereunder. If, after
termination of this Plan upon the tenth anniversary hereof or by Board action as
provided above, there are outstanding options which have not been fully
exercised, such options shall remain in effect in accordance with their terms
and shall remain subject to the terms of this Plan.
11. AMENDMENT OR DISCONTINUANCE OF PLAN. The Board may amend, suspend or
discontinue this Plan at any time without restriction; provided, however, that
the Board may not alter, amend, discontinue, revoke or otherwise impair any
outstanding options which have been granted pursuant to this Plan and which
remain unexercised, except in the event that there is secured the written
consent of the holder of the outstanding option proposed to be so altered or
amended. Nothing contained in this paragraph, however, shall in any way
condition or limit the termination of an option, as hereinabove provided, where
reference is made to termination of employment of an optionee, or as provided in
an option agreement.
12. LIMITATION OF RIGHTS.
12.1 NO IMPLIED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. Neither this Plan nor the
granting of an option nor any other action taken pursuant to this Plan, shall
constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied,
that the Company or any subsidiary will retain any person as an employee for any
period of time.
12.2 NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER. An optionee shall have no rights as
a shareholder with respect to Shares covered by his option until the date of
exercise of the option, and, except as provided in paragraph 8, no adjustment
will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is before
the date of such exercise.
13. LIQUIDATION OF THE COMPANY. In the event of the complete
liquidation or dissolution of the Company, other than as an incident to a
merger, reorganization or other adjustment referred to in paragraph 8, any
options granted pursuant to this Plan and remaining unexercised shall be deemed
cancelled without regard to or limitation by any other provisions of this Plan.
14. INTENTION OF CONSTRUCTION. To the extent options granted hereunder
are intended to constitute Incentive options and comply with Section 422 of the
Code and all provisions of this Plan, all such options and all option agreements
relating thereto shall be construed in such a manner as to effectuate that
intent.
15. SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL; EFFECTIVE DATE. This Plan shall become
effective on the date it is approved by the shareholders of the Company (the
"Effective Date").

meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"). An option granted which does not constitute an Incentive option shall

of Shares to which such termination or expiration relates.
3. ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by the Director and

months prior to serving on the Committee or while serving on the Committee,
except for options granted pursuant to paragraph 5(b). Subject to the provisions
of the Plan, the Committee shall have exclusive power to select the persons to
whom options will be granted under the Plan, to determine the number of options
to be awarded to each empoloyee selected and to determine the time or times when
options will be awarded. The Committee shall have full power and authority to
administer and interpret the Plan and to adopt such rules, regulations,
agreements and instruments for implementing the Plan
4787.2
<PAGE>
and for the conduct of its business as the Committee deems necessary or
advisable. The Committee's interpretation of the Plan, and all determinations
made by the Committee pursuant to the powers vested in it hereunder, shall be
conclusive and binding on all persons having any interest in the Plan or in any
options granted hereunder.
4. ELIGIBILITY. Participants in the Plan shall be selected by the Committee
from among the directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries.
5. GRANT OF OPTIONS. (a) The Committee may from time to time grant options
to purchase Shares to such of the directors and officers of the Company and its
subsidiaries as may be selected by the Committee and for such number of numbers
of shares as may be determined by the Committee. Each grant of an option
pursuant to this Plan shall be granted within ten years from the date this Plan
is adopted by the Board. Each grant of an option pursuant to this Plan shall be
made upon such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee at the
time of grant, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in
this Plan.
An individual optionee may be granted (i) an Incentive option, (ii) a
Non-Qualified option, or (iii) an Incentive option and a Non-Qualified option at
the same time.
(b) (i) Commencing October 31, 1994 and continuing on each April 30 and
October 31 thereafter during the term of this Plan, each member of the Board of
Directors then in office who is not a full-time employee of the Company,
including members of the Committee, shall receive on each such October 31 and
April 30 an automatic grant of Non-Qualified options to purchase 5,000 Shares,
reduced pro rata to the extent that the director shall have served as a director
of the Company for less than six full months prior to such date. This 5000-Share
amount shall be adjusted automatically to reflect any stock dividends, stock
splits or similar events occurring after August 23, 1994.
(ii) The option price for each such grant shall be equal to the closing
market price of the Shares on the date of grant (or the next preceding business
day if the date of grant is not a business day).
(iii) The options shall not be exercisable until one year after the
date of grant, at which time the options shall be exercisable in full and shall
remain exercisable until ten years after the date of grant, regardless of
whether the option holder remains a director of the Company. In the event of the
death or disability of the option holder, the option may be exercised by his or
her heirs or personal representatives for the remaining term of the option.
(iv) The options shall be represented by option grants in substantially
the same forms as are used from time to time for other Non-Qualified options
granted under this Plan, subject only to the terms set forth above.
6. TERMS, CONDITIONS AND FORM OF OPTIONS. Each option shall be evidenced by
a written agreement ("option agreement") in such form as the Board shall from
time to time
-2-
<PAGE>
approve, which agreement shall comply with and be subject to the following
terms and conditions:
6.1 OPTION EFFECTIVE DATE. Each option agreement shall specify an
effective date, which shall be the date on which the option is granted by the
Committee.
6.2 OPTION TERM. (a) An option shall in no event be exercisable after
the expiration of ten years from the effective date of the option. In addition,
and in limitation of the above, the option period of any option shall terminate
three months after the termination of the option holder's employment (or service
as a director) with the Company or subsidiary for any reason except the
Retirement (as hereinafter defined), death or disability of the option holder
(the "optionee").
(b) (i) The term "Retirement" means the voluntary termination of
employment by an option holder whose age and/or years of employment qualify that
employee for normal retirement under the policies of the Company in effect from
time to time.
(ii) For any option granted on or before August 23, 1994; the
Committee may in its discretion amend that option, on an individual basis, to
permit the exercise of such option beyond the date of Retirement, through the
expiration date of the option.
(iii) The Committee may in its discretion provide in standard
option grant agreements that any option granted after August 23, 1994 may be
exercised after the date of Retirement, through the expiration date of the
option.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no option may be exercised
after the expiration of ten years from the effective date of the option, nor may
an option be exercised beyond the amount which vested as of the date of
Retirement.
(c) In the event of termination of employment (or service as a
director) due to the death or disability of an optionee, the option period of
the option held by him upon the date of such termination shall terminate upon
the earlier of (i) twelve months after the date of the optionee's death or
termination due to disability, as the case may be, or (ii) the date of
termination of such option as determined by his option agreement. In the event
of termination of an optionee's employment due to the death of the optionee,
such optionee's options may be exercised during the 12-month period by his
estate or by the person who acquired the right to exercise such options through
bequest or inheritance.
As used herein, "disability" shall mean the inability of the employee to
engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically
determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in
death or has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of at
least months.
-3-
<PAGE>
No transfer of an option by an optionee by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution shall be effective unless the Company shall have been furnished
with written notice thereof and a copy of the will and/or such other evidence as
the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and
the acceptance by the successor-in-interest or successors-in-interest of the
terms and conditions of the option.
(d) If an optionee is placed on leave of absence status by the Company or
any subsidiary, any then exercisable option shall be suspended at such time. If
an optionee is placed on lay-off status by the Company or any subsidiary, any
then exercisable option may be exercised during the following period of three
months and shall be suspended thereafter. In either case, the unexercised
portion of the option shall either (i) terminate three months after the
optionee's termination of employment with the Company and its subsidiaries or
(ii) be reinstated upon such optionee being re-employed from leave of absence or
lay-off status by the Company or any subsidiary.
6.3 EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price of options shall be the price per
share fixed by the Committee (the "Exercise Price"); provided, however, that the
Exercise Price per Share for Incentive options shall not be less than the fair
market value of a Share on the date the option is granted. In the event that the
Shares are then listed on an established stock exchange, such fair market value
shall be deemed to be the closing price of the Shares on such stock exchange on
the day the option is granted or, if no sale of the Shares shall have been made
on any stock exchange on that day, the fair market value shall be determined as
such price for the next preceding day upon which a sale shall have occurred. In
the event that the Shares are not listed upon an established exchange but are
quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation
System ("NASDAQ"), the fair market value shall be deemed to be the closing price
for the Shares as quoted on NASDAQ on the day the option is granted. If no sale
of the Shares shall have been made on NASDAQ on that day, the fair market value
shall be determined by such prices on the next preceding day on which a sale
shall have occurred. In the event that the Shares are neither listed on an
established stock exchange nor quoted on NASDAQ, the fair market value on the
day the option is granted shall be determined by the Committee.
6.4 TEN PERCENT SHAREHOLDER. Notwithstanding the above, in regard to a
director or officer who possesses more than 10% of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company or of its subsidiaries and who
receives an Incentive option, the exercise price hereunder shall not be less
than 110% of the fair market value of Common Stock on the date the Incentive
option is granted and the option by its terms shall not be exercisable after the
expiration of 5 years from the date such option is granted.
6.5 NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. An option shall not be transferable by
the optionee otherwise than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution or
by a qualified domestic relations order, and shall be exercised during the
lifetime of the optionee only by the optionee or by his guardian or legal
representative. No option or interest therein may be
-4-
<PAGE>
transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the optionee during this
lifetime, whether by operation of law or otherwise, or be made subject to
execution, attachment or similar process.
7. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. An option granted pursuant to this Plan shall
be exercisable at any time within the option period, subject to the terms and
conditions of such option. Exercise of any option shall be made by the delivery,
during the period that such option is exercisable, to the Company in person or
by mail of (i) written notice from the optionee stating that he is exercising
such option and (ii) the payment of the aggregate purchase price of all Shares
as to which option is then exercised. Such aggregate purchase price shall be
paid to the Company at the time of exercise. Payment shall normally be made by
cash or check; provided, however, that in its sole discretion the Committee may
approve of payment in whole or in part by the giving of a note with adequate
stated interest or by the surrender of common stock. Upon the exercise of an
option in compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, and upon the receipt
by the Company of the payment for said Shares, the Company shall (i) deliver or
cause to be delivered to the optionee so exercising his option a certificate or
certificates for the number of Shares with respect to which the option is so
exercised and payment is so made, and (ii) register or cause such Shares to be
registered in the name of the exercising optionee.
8. CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE. Appropriate adjustments shall be made
to the price of the Shares and the number of Shares subject to outstanding
options and the number of Shares issuable under this Plan if there are any
changes in the Shares by reason of stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock
splits, mergers, recapitalizations or consolidations.
9. CONTROLLING TERMS. Option agreements pertaining to options granted
pursuant hereto may include conditions that are more (but not less) restrictive
to the optionee than the conditions contained herein and, in such event, the
more restrictive conditions shall apply.
10. TERMINATION OF THE PLAN. This Plan shall terminate upon the close of
business of the day preceding the tenth anniversary of the approval of this Plan
by the Board unless it shall have been sooner terminated by the Board or by
reason of there having been granted and fully exercised stock options covering
all of the Shares subject to this Plan. Upon such termination, no further
options may be granted hereunder. If, after termination of this Plan upon the
tenth anniversary hereof or by Board action as provided above, there are
outstanding options which have not been fully exercised, such options shall
remain in effect in accordance with their terms and shall remain subject to the
terms of this Plan.
11. AMENDMENT OR DISCONTINUANCE OF PLAN. The Board may amend, suspend or
discontinue this Plan at any time without restriction; provided, however, that
the Board may not alter, amend, discontinue, revoke or otherwise impair any
outstanding options which have been granted pursuant to this Plan and which
remain unexercised, except in the event that there is secured the written
consent of the holder of the outstanding option proposed to be so altered or
amended. Nothing contained in this paragraph, however, shall in any way
condition or limit the termination of an option, as hereinabove provided, where
reference is made to termination of employment of an optionee, or as provided in
an option agreement.
-5-
<PAGE>
12. LIMITATION OF RIGHTS.
12.1 NO IMPLIED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. Neither this Plan nor the
granting of an option nor any other action taken pursuant to this Plan, shall
constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied,
that the Company or any subsidiary will retain any person as an employee for any
period of time.
12.2 NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER. An optionee shall have no rights as a
shareholder with respect to Shares covered by his option until the date of
exercise of the option, and, except as provided in paragraph 8, no adjustment
will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is before
the date of such exercise.
13. LIQUIDATION OF THE COMPANY. In the event of the complete liquidation or
dissolution of the Company, other than as an incident to a merger,
reorganization or other adjustment referred to in paragraph 8, any options
granted pursuant to this Plan and remaining unexercised shall be deemed
cancelled without regard to or limitation by any other provisions of this Plan.
14. INTENTION OF CONSTRUCTION. To the extent options granted hereunder are
intended to constitute Incentive options and comply with Section 422 of the Code
and all provisions of this Plan, all such options and all option agreements
relating thereto shall be construed in such a manner as to effectuate that
intent.
15. SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL; EFFECTIVE DATE. This Plan shall become effective
on the date it is approved by the shareholders of the Company (the "Effective
Date").

===================================
</TABLE>
Fiscal 1995 was a year in which the Company's performance improved in the
second half of the year as compared to the first half. The first six months of
fiscal 1995 yielded a net loss per share of $.26 while the second six months
resulted in a net loss of $.04 per share. Two positive factors that affected the
improvement in the second half of fiscal 1995 were the increase in software
license fee revenues and decrease in total expenses. Software license fee
revenues increased from $7.5 million for the first six months to $13.2 million
for the last half of the year. Total expenses decreased over the same period
from $49.5 million to $43.5 million.
Software license fee revenues decreased to $20.8 million in fiscal 1995
from $31.1 million in fiscal 1994 and $39.4 million in fiscal 1993. Though these
revenues have declined for the last three fiscal years, the Company is
encouraged by its results in the second half of fiscal 1995, as mentioned above.
Due to a more stable and better trained sales force and better product
offerings, the Company believes software license fee revenues will continue to
grow in fiscal 1996.
Services revenues, which are composed primarily of consulting revenues,
custom programming revenues, and outsourcing revenues, decreased to $36.0
million in fiscal 1995 from $41.5 million in fiscal 1994 and $47.5 million in
fiscal 1993. Outsourcing revenues, a component of services revenue, increased
54% to $9.2 million in fiscal 1995 from $6.0 in fiscal 1994. Outsourcing
consists generally of providing the data processing functions for customers by
running their software for them on the Company's equipment. Services revenues
apart from outsourcing revenues declined 24% to $26.8 million in fiscal 1995
from $35.5 million in fiscal 1994. Unlike outsourcing, the consulting and custom
programming business tends to be driven by software license fees generated six
to nine months prior. If historical trends prevail, this segment of the business
should benefit in fiscal 1996 from the increased software licenses obtained in
the second half of fiscal 1995 and the expected software license growth in
fiscal 1996.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS CONTINUED
Maintenance revenues increased 5% to $22.6 million in fiscal 1995 versus
$21.6 million in fiscal 1994 and increased 9% from fiscal 1993 to fiscal 1994.
The growth in maintenance has slowed from previous years due primarily to the
slower rate at which new customers are added to maintenance. The decreasing rate
at which new customers were added to maintenance relates directly to the
decrease in software license fees over the last three years.
Expenses decreased 14% to $93.0 million in fiscal 1995 from $108.3 million
in fiscal 1994 and increased 5% in fiscal 1994 from $103.6 million in fiscal
1993. Expenses for salaries and commissions decreased $5.6 million in fiscal
1995 from fiscal 1994. This was due to a personnel decrease from 905 at the end
of the fiscal 1994 to 670 at the end of fiscal 1995. Other significant
reductions included employee travel of $2.8 million and marketing expenses of
$.4 million. Additionally, factors that caused fiscal 1994 expenses to be higher
were a $5.4 million increase to the provision for doubtful accounts and a $1.2
million impairment charge of capitalized software development costs. The
impairment charge in fiscal 1994 was for the write-off of principally certain
mainframe enhancements.
The cost of revenues for license fees consists primarily of salaries and
related employee benefits, royalties and amortization of computer software
costs. These costs were $24.3 million in fiscal 1995 versus $32.8 million in
fiscal 1994, primarily due to a decrease in salaries and employee benefits
related to the decrease in personnel during the year.
Services costs of revenues consist of salaries and related employee
benefits, contract programming and related travel and living expenses. Services
costs increased 2% to $21.9 million in fiscal 1995 from $21.3 million in fiscal
1994, due to an increase in outsourcing costs of $2.6 million, partially offset
by decreases in services salaries of $2.1 million.
Maintenance cost of revenues consists of salaries and related employee
benefits. These costs decreased 29% to $4.2 million in fiscal 1995 from $5.9
million in fiscal 1994. The reduction in these costs was directly related to the
Company's reduction in its workforce.
The Company's internal new product development and enhancement of existing
products include two categories: research and development expenditures and
additions to capitalized computer software development costs. These totalled
$12.6 million, $11.7 million, and $13.7 million in fiscal years 1995, 1994, and
1993, respectively, and represented 60%, 38% and 35% of license fees in those
years.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 3% to $42.9 million
in fiscal 1995 from $41.8 million in fiscal 1994. The increase was primarily due
to an expansion of the Company's selling presence worldwide. The Company also
decentralized its sales support functions to form cohesive sales units in the
field offices. The Company believes that the sales force in place at the end of
fiscal 1995 is sufficient to meet its sales objectives for fiscal 1996.
The provision for (recovery of) doubtful accounts for fiscal 1995 of $(.16
million) was lower than the provision for fiscal 1994 of $6.6 million due
primarily to the write-off of two international accounts during fiscal 1994.
Other income is comprised predominantly of interest income. Cash and
investments totaled approximately $32,505,000, $40,674,000, and $50,080,000 and
comprised 30%, 35%, and 38% of total assets at April 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993,
respectively. Interest income has decreased as a result of total dollars
invested in fiscal 1993 through 1995.
The income tax benefit in fiscal 1995 was 41% of the pretax loss compared
to 44% in fiscal 1994, and 24% in expense in fiscal 1993. Most of the benefit
can be carried back against previously paid taxes.
The Company believes that inflation has not materially affected the results
of its operations for the past three years.
OPERATING PATTERN
The Company experienced an irregular pattern of quarterly operating
results, caused primarily by fluctuations in both the number and size of
software license contracts received and delivered from quarter to quarter.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Over the past three years, working capital has been provided almost
entirely by cash from operations. The Company had no material commitments for
capital expenditures as of April 30, 1995.
The Company's operating activities provided cash of $14.0 million in fiscal
1995, $11.8 million in fiscal 1994 and $19.2 million in 1993. With the Company's
adoption of SFAS 115 on May 1, 1994, its securities and money market funds are
treated as a trading portfolio. The activities of that portfolio are included in
operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows for fiscal
1995. The decline in accounts receivable for fiscal 1995 compared to fiscal 1994
had a lesser effect than the decline in fiscal 1994 compared to fiscal 1993.
Cash used for investing activities was $11.2 million in fiscal 1995, $3.1
million in fiscal 1994 and $5.6 million in fiscal 1993. The Company acquired a
30% interest in TXbase Systems, Inc. for $.8 million in fiscal 1995; acquired
certain licensing rights from CODA for $3.3 million in fiscal 1994; and acquired
the assets of Distribution Sciences, Inc. for $4.7 million ($2.5 million in
cash) in fiscal 1993.
Cash used for financing activities was $3.7 million in fiscal 1995, $7.7
million in fiscal 1994 and $16.2 million in fiscal 1993. The reduction in cash
used for financing activities in fiscal 1995 as compared to fiscal 1994 was due
to the suspension of the Company's quarterly dividends after payment of two
quarterly dividends. The reduction in fiscal 1994 as compared to fiscal 1993 was
due to the reduced amount of stock repurchased and extinguishment of long-term
debt.
The Company's consolidated balance sheet remains extremely strong with a
current ratio of 2.4 to 1. Liquidity also remains strong, with cash and
investments totaling 30% of total assets. The Company expects existing cash and
investments, combined with working capital generated from operations, to be
sufficient to meet its operational needs in fiscal 1996.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American
Software, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the Company). All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
The Company is engaged in the development, marketing, and support activities
of a broad range of computer applications software. The Company's operations
are principally in the computer software industry with an emerging computer
operations outsourcing business.
(B) REVENUE RECOGNITION
License fees in connection with license agreements for standard proprietary
and tailored software are recognized upon delivery of the software providing
collection is considered probable and no significant obligations remain
outstanding. The percentage-of-completion method of accounting is utilized
to recognize revenue on products under development for fixed amounts.
Progress under the percentage-of-completion method is measured based on
management's best estimate of the cost of work completed in relation to the
total cost of work to be performed under the contract. Any estimated losses
on products under development for fixed amounts are immediately recognized
in the consolidated financial statements. All significant costs associated
with maintenance included in the initial license fee are recognized.
Revenue related to custom programming and education is recognized as the
related services are performed.
Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance
agreements.
Deferred revenue represents advance payments to the Company by customers for
services and products.
(C) INVESTMENTS
Investments at April 30, 1995, consist of money market funds, debt
securities, and marketable equity securities. The Company adopted the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (SFAS
115) as of May 1, 1994. Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 115, the Company
has classified its investment portfolio as "trading." "Trading" securities
are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near
term and are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on trading
securities are included in the determination of net earnings (loss). The
effect of adopting SFAS 115 was not significant and has been included in
other income, net in the accompanying 1995 consolidated statement of
operations.
Investments at April 30, 1994 include money market funds, debt securities,
and marketable equity securities. Money market funds are stated at market.
Debt securities are carried at cost. Marketable equity securities (other
marketable securities) are recorded at the lower of aggregate cost or
market. The cost of the marketable securities sold is based on the earliest
acquisition cost of each security held at the time of sale. Unrealized gains
and losses on marketable equity securities are recognized in the
determination of net earnings (loss).
(D) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation of buildings,
computer equipment, and office furniture and equipment is calculated using
the straight-line method based upon estimated useful lives of 30 years, five
years, and five years, respectively. Leasehold improvements are amortized
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets
or the lease term, whichever is shorter.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued
(E) CAPITALIZED COMPUTER SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The Company capitalizes computer software development costs by project,
commencing when technological feasibility for the respective product is
established and concluding when the product is ready for general release to
customers. The Company makes an ongoing assessment of the recoverability of
its capitalized software projects by comparing the amount capitalized for
each product group to the estimated net realizable value ("NRV") of the
product group. If the NRV is less than the amount capitalized, a write-down
to NRV is recorded. The Company capitalized computer software development
costs totaling $7,352,301, $7,315,470, and $8,610,918 in 1995, 1994, and
1993, respectively. The Company expensed $1,167,496 in 1994 as this amount
was deemed unrealizable based on future sales projections. Capitalized
computer software development costs are being amortized using the straight-
line method over an estimated useful life of three years. Amortization
expense was $7,029,442, $7,491,124, and $4,793,398 in 1995, 1994, and 1993,
respectively.
The total of research and development costs and additions to capitalized
computer software development costs are $12,552,301, $11,665,470, and
$13,688,918 in fiscal years 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. The Company
incurred research and development costs totaling approximately $5,200,000,
$4,350,000, and $5,078,000, which were expensed in 1995, 1994, and 1993,
respectively.
(F) PURCHASED COMPUTER SOFTWARE COSTS
Purchased computer software costs represent the cost of acquiring computer
software. Amortization of purchased computer software costs is calculated
using the straight-line method over a period of five years. Amortization
expense was $2,322,267, $2,189,516, and $897,487 in 1995, 1994, and 1993,
respectively.
(G) INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes using the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). SFAS
109 requires an asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.
Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and
tax credit carry forward. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
(H) EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE
Earnings (loss) per common and common equivalent share are based on the
weighted average number of Class A and B shares outstanding, since the
Company considers the two classes of common stock as one class for the
purposes of the earnings (loss) per share computation, and share equivalents
from dilutive stock options outstanding during each year. Share equivalents
are excluded from the aforementioned computation during loss periods.
(I) RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1994 and 1993 consolidated
financial statements to conform to the 1995 presentation.

(4) ACQUISITIONS
In 1995, the Company acquired a 30% interest in TXbase Systems, Inc., a
client/server-based software company, for $827,164. This investment is being
accounted for under the equity method. The excess investment over the
underlying equity in net assets is being amortized using the straight-line
method over a period of five years. In conjunction with the purchase, the
Company extended TXbase Systems, Inc. a line of credit in the amount of
$800,000 providing certain financial and other requirements are met. Any
outstanding advance balance is convertible into additional equity ownership
at the discretion of the Company. No advances on this line of credit were
outstanding as of April 30, 1995.
In July 1993, the Company purchased from Coda Corporation the proprietary
rights to certain computer software for $3,300,000.
In June 1992, the Company acquired the assets and assumed certain
liabilities of Distribution Sciences, Inc., a transportation software
company, for approximately $4,738,000. The acquisition has been accounted

(5) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
In 1992, the Company discontinued issuing options under its Incentive Stock
Option Plan and its Nonqualified Stock Option Plan. There are 62,026 options
outstanding under these plans at April 30, 1995. These plans were replaced
with the 1991 Employee Stock Option Plan ("1991 Plan") and the Director and
Officer Stock Option Plan ("D and O Plan"). Under the 1991 Plan, the Board
of Directors is authorized to grant key employees options to purchase up to
1,650,000 shares of Class A common stock, plus any shares granted under the
terminated plans that terminate or expire without being wholly exercised.
These options are exercisable in four equal annual installments commencing
one year from the effective date of grant. All options must be exercised
within ten years of the effective date of grant, but will expire sooner if
the optionee's employment terminates. Under the D and O Plan, the Board of
Directors is authorized to grant directors and officers options to purchase
up to 900,000 shares of Class A common stock. These options are exercisable
based upon the terms of such options up to 10 years after the date of grant,
but will expire sooner if the optionee's employment terminates.
Additionally, both the 1991 Plan and D and O Plan can issue either incentive
stock options or nonqualified stock options. Both the 1991 Plan and D and O
Plan will terminate on May 13, 2001.
Summarized option data for the incentive options and the nonqualified
options as of April 30, 1995, is as follows:

and 67,088 shares, respectively. Options available for grant at April 30,
1995, for the 1991 Plan and D and O Plan are 421,052 and 453,063 shares,
respectively.
Except for the election or removal of Directors and class votes as required
by law or the Articles of Incorporation, holders of both classes of common
stock vote as a single class on all matters with each share of Class A
common stock entitled to cast one-tenth vote per share and each share of
Class B common stock entitled to cast one vote per share. Neither has
cumulative voting rights. Holders of Class A common stock, as a class, are
entitled to elect 25% of the Board of Directors (rounded up to the nearest
whole number of Directors) if the number of outstanding shares of Class A
common stock is at least 10% of the number of outstanding shares of both
classes of common stock. No cash or property dividend may be paid to holders
of shares of Class B common stock during any fiscal year of the Company
unless a dividend of $.05 per share has been paid in such year on each
outstanding share of Class A common stock. This $.05 per share annual
dividend preference is noncumulative.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued
Dividends per share of Class B common stock during any fiscal year may not
exceed dividends paid per share of Class A common stock during each year.
Each share of Class B common stock is convertible at any time into one share
of Class A common stock at the option of the shareholder. Class A and B
shares are considered as one class for purposes of the earnings (loss) per
share computation.
In 1995, the Company adopted a Dividend Reinvestment Plan retroactive to
February 25, 1994. Under the Plan, 500,000 shares of the Company's Class A
common stock are reserved for the use of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan. The
shares are to be utilized from treasury stock to the extent available, with
any additional shares to be utilized from authorized but unissued shares of
Class A common stock. In 1995, 17,057 shares were issued pursuant to this
plan.
(6) INTERNATIONAL REVENUES
International revenues approximated $10,321,000 or 13%, $16,442,000 or 17%,
and $17,216,000 or 16%, of consolidated revenues for the years ended April
30, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively, and were primarily from customers in
Canada, Europe, Australia, and Asia.
(7) COMMITMENTS
The Company leases an office facility from a partnership controlled by the
two Class B shareholders, under an operating lease expiring in December
1996, with annual adjustments for inflation. Amounts expensed under this
lease for the years ended April 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993 approximated
$291,000, $285,000, and $278,000, respectively.
The Company leases other office facilities, certain office equipment, and
computer equipment under various operating leases expiring through 1997.
Rental expense for these operating leases approximated $5,866,000,
$3,586,000, and $3,570,000 for the years ended April 30, 1995, 1994, and
