INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Plan Administrator and Trustee
American Software, Inc.
401(k) Profit Sharing Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of American Software, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan") as
of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended. 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 in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1997, and of reportable
transactions for the year ended December 31, 1997, are presented for the purpose
of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements but are 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. These supplemental schedules are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

AMERICAN SOFTWARE, INC.
401(K) PROFIT SHARING PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1997 and 1996
(1) The Plan
--------
The following description of the American Software, Inc. 401(k) Profit
Sharing Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants
should refer to the Plan agreement, as restated and amended, for a more
complete description of the Plan's provisions. The Company intends to
continue the Plan but reserves the right to amend, modify, or restate the
Plan from time to time and to suspend, terminate, or discontinue
contributions under the Plan. If the Plan is terminated, benefits will be
distributed in accordance with provisions of the Plan.
(a) General
-------
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all full-time
employees of American Software, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the
"Company"). In December 1997, the Plan was amended by changing the
service requirement from one year of service to no service
requirement. It is subject to certain provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). The purpose of the
Plan is to provide eligible employees of the Company a qualified
retirement plan which meets the requirements of Section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code with respect to which contributions will be
excluded from the employee's income.
(b) Contributions
-------------
Participants may elect to defer 1% to 15% of their annual compensation
(subject to the limitations of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue
Code). The Company's profit sharing contribution to the Plan is
determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors. In no event
shall the annual contributions (i.e., participant and Company
contributions) made with respect to a participant under all defined
contribution plans maintained by the Company, together with
forfeitures allocated to that participant, exceed the lesser of
$30,000 or 25% of annual compensation.
(c) Participant Rollovers
---------------------
Employees are allowed, under the provisions of the Plan, to transfer
to the Plan account balances from other eligible retirement plans with
the consent of the plan administrator and provided that the transfer
will not jeopardize the tax-exempt status of the Plan.
(d) Participant Accounts
--------------------
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
contribution, if any, and an allocation of (a) the Company's
contribution, if any, and (b) Plan earnings (loss). Allocations are
based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined.
Forfeitures of terminated participants' nonvested accounts are
retained in the Plan and approximated $7,900 and $6,300 as of December
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. These forfeitures are used to reduce
future Company contributions.

AMERICAN SOFTWARE, INC.
401(K) PROFIT SHARING PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
Participant contributions may be invested in one or more of the
investment options available under the Plan. Current investment options
of the Plan are referred to as the following Fidelity funds: Fidelity
Fund, Magellan Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, OTC Portfolio, Overseas
Fund, Capital Appreciation Fund, Blue Chip Growth Fund, Asset Manager
Portfolio, Global Bond Fund, and Retirement Government Money Market
Portfolio. All funds are publicly traded mutual funds. During December
1997, the following additional funds became investment options: INVESCO
High Yield Fund, Morgan Stanley Emerging Market Portfolio, Fidelity
Contrafund, Fidelity Real Estate Investment Trust, Fidelity Balanced
Fund, Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund, Fidelity Europe Capital
Appreciation Fund, Fidelity Latin American Fund, Fidelity Japan Fund,
and Fidelity Southeast Asia Fund.
(e) Vesting
-------
Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions
plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the remainder of their accounts
is based on years of continuous service. Participants vest 20% per year
after years two, three, four, and five and are 100% vested after six
years of credited service.
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
right to terminate the Plan at any time, subject to the provisions of
ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants become 100%
vested in their accounts.
(f) Payment of Benefits
-------------------
Upon termination of service, retirement, or reaching age 59-1/2, a
participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the
value of his or her account or a series of approximately equal
installments for a specified period of time not exceeding the
participant's life expectancy if the account exceeds $3,500. The Plan
also provides for death benefits to the participant's beneficiary equal
to the amount in the participant's account and disability benefits to
the participant equal to the amount in the participant's account if the
participant becomes totally and permanently disabled. In addition, the
Plan provides for hardship withdrawals as defined in the Plan.
(g) Participant Loans
-----------------
The Plan provides for loans against the participant account from $1,000
to $50,000 but limited to 50% of the participant's account balance.
Participants can apply for one loan per year and are limited to one loan
outstanding. Loans bear interest at a rate determined by the Plan. Loans
are repayable over a five-year period unless for the purchase of a
principal residence which is repayable over a 10-year period. Loans are
repayable upon death, disability, or termination of employment.

------------------------------------------
(a) Basis of Accounting
-------------------
The accounts are maintained and the accompanying financial statements
are presented on the accrual basis of accounting.
(b) Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
-------------------------------------------
Investments in American Software, Inc. common stock and mutual funds
are carried at fair value as determined by the Trustee of the Plan
based primarily on the latest quoted market prices. Loans to
participants are interest-bearing and stated at cost, which based on
discounted cash flows, approximates fair value. Purchases on 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.
(c) Payment of Benefits
-------------------
Benefits are recorded when paid.
(d) Use of Estimates
----------------
Management of the Plan has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions .
(3) Investments

The fair values of investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan's

tax under present income tax law. Once qualified, the Plan sponsor is
required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its
qualification. The Plan sponsor believes that the Plan continues to
qualify and to operate as designed.
(5) Administrative Expenses

Substantially all legal, accounting, and administrative fees related to
the Plan are paid by the Company. Administrative expenses paid by the
Plan represent fees paid to the trustee for trust services.
