                          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, 1998 and 1997, 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, 1998 and 1997, 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, 1998, and of reportable
transactions for the year ended December 31, 1998, 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.

                          401(K) PROFIT SHARING PLAN

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                          December 31, 1998 and 1997



(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 contribute 1% to 15% of their annual
          compensation to the Plan (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 the participant's annual
          compensation. Participant contributions may be invested in one or more
          of the investment options available under the Plan.

     (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 as of December 31, 1998
          and 1997. These forfeitures are used to reduce future Company
          contributions.

     (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.

                                                                     (Continued)

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                          December 31, 1998 and 1997



          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 a participant's 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.

     (h)  Year 2000

          The Plan has received Year 2000 disclosures from the Plan
          administrator and Trustee. They have indicated that they are currently
          in the remediation and testing phases of their Year 2000 readiness
          plans with testing to continue through the third quarter of 1999. In
          addition, they are in the process of developing and refining
          contingency plans for their business systems and processes. The Plan
          will continue to monitor their progress and is attempting to set up
          data exchange tests for later in the year.

          Due to the uncertainty of potential Year 2000 problems which are
          outside the scope of the Plan's control, such as public utilities,
          financial institutions, governmental functions, and various other
          vendors on which the Plan relies, the Plan is unable to reasonably
          predict the possible exposure and impact of Year 2000 failure on the
          Plan.

      (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

          (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 and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date

                                                                     (Continued)

               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

      (4) Income Tax Status

          The Plan has obtained a determination letter from the Internal Revenue
          Service stating that the Plan qualifies under the appropriate section
          of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") and, therefore, is not subject to
          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.

                                                                     (Continued)
