MPSI SYSTEMS INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


================================================================================
1.   GENERAL NOTES:

     Certain notes to the September 30, 1995 audited consolidated financial
     statements filed with Form 10-K are applicable to the unaudited
     consolidated financial statements for the six months ended March 31, 1996.
     Accordingly, reference should be made to the audited financial statements
     at September 30, 1995.

     In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited consolidated financial
     statements as of March 31, 1996 contain all adjustments (including normal
     recurring accruals) necessary to fairly present the financial position and
     the results of operations of the Company.  The timing of market study
     orders and software license agreements can significantly impact quarterly
     results of operations and, accordingly, the results of operations for the
     six months ended March 31, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the
     results to be expected for the full year.


================================================================================
2.   SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

     The Company paid interest of $3,000 and $5,000 during the three months
     ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Income taxes of $295,000 and
     $64,000 were paid during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
     respectively.





                                                                               8

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         MPSI Systems Inc. reported a net loss for the second fiscal quarter
ended March 31, 1996, of $148,000 or $.05 per share on revenues of $5,364,000
compared with net income of $386,000 or $.14 per share on revenues of
$5,280,000 during the comparable quarter a year ago.  Net income for the first
six months of fiscal year 1996 was $32,000 or $.01 per share on revenues of
$10,675,000 compared with $558,000 or $.20 per share on revenues of 10,191,000
in the comparable period last year.

         Although revenues increased by approximately $500,000 (5%) during the
six months when compared  with the first six months of last fiscal year, there
was only a nominal increase during the 1996 second quarter compared with last
year.      The revenue growth was principally attributable to MPSI's North and
South American operations with revenues for the six months and quarter being
flat in Europe and down slightly in the Pacific Rim.  The Pacific Rim trend is,
however, primarily a timing matter.  The Company has substantial firm orders
for market studies to be produced for Pacific Rim clients beginning in the last
half of fiscal 1996 and through mid 1997, and that region is expected to
ultimately reflect revenue growth for the 1996 fiscal year.

         Even though the South American region experienced some growth in
revenue during the quarter and six months, both that region and MPSI's European
region are awaiting the release of the new  Capital Planning System (CAPS)
software applicable to those clients.  The Company expects to release both
versions during its third fiscal quarter of 1996.  The present release dates
are delayed approximately six months from the original plan.  The delayed
releases have caused certain clients in the effected regions to hold off
placement of market study and software orders, some of which were anticipated
in the quarter and six months covered by this report.  These circumstances are
reflected in the modest revenue growth for the quarter and six months compared
with the similar periods of last year and in the 62% lower revenues from
software licensing during the first six months of fiscal 1996 compared with the
same six-month period last year.

         These delayed orders have had a second effect on the Company in
addition to delaying projected revenue growth.  MPSI has not had the
opportunity to schedule as many multiple-client market studies as anticipated
from clients in the indicated regions.  There is generally a significant
improvement in gross margins on multiple-client market studies compared with
single client studies.  MPSI has not, therefore, been able to leverage its
fixed market study production costs to the level expected in its operating
plan.   As the new software releases encourage market study (and software)
orders in South America and Europe and as the number of studies underway or
recently completed in all operating regions increases, the Company's ability to
"pair up" additional clients on existing and future market studies is expected
to positively impact gross margins by fiscal year end.

         In addition to the effect on market study margins noted above, gross
margins in the information services product line are lower than last year, both
for the quarter and six months, due to substantial costs incurred relative to
two new data products.   The Company introduced a retail price tracking data
service late last fiscal year and that product has proven to be significantly
more costly than originally anticipated.   MPSI has recently received certain
pricing concessions from the users of this product and should, accordingly,
recognize improved operating results during the remainder of this fiscal year.
MPSI also was required to negotiate price increases from present users of its
newest market study product, wherein the client is required to provide a
substantial amount of the information necessary to update these data bases
annually.  Since MPSI received a lesser degree of client-supplied data and was,
therefore, required to do more original research than anticipated in order to
maintain quality standards, the Company has re- engineered the production
process and increased the price on future studies of this type.  MPSI
anticipates better operating results from this product in future periods.

         Operating expenses are approximately $210,000 (7%) and $386,000 (7%)
lower in the quarter and six months ending March 31, 1996, respectively, than
for the comparable periods last year.  General and administrative expenses are
approximately $80,000 (12%) and $155,000 (12%) higher than last year for the
quarter and six months, respectively, reflecting increased costs related to
public listing of MPSI's Common Stock on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market(SM) and
additional costs associated with trademark registration of new products.
Marketing expenses are level with last year for both





                                                                               9

the quarter and the six months.  Research and development expenses are lower by
approximately $233,000 (43%) and $509,000 (44%) for the quarter and six months
ended March 31, 1996, respectively, compared with the same periods last year.
This decline corresponds to the increased product development related to the
South American and European CAPS software, which costs are capitalized in the
Balance Sheet (see discussion of capitalized software costs below).

         In the Other Income category, MPSI continues to experience overall
gains on transactions denominated in foreign currency, although the amount of
gain from that source was lower than last year by $109,000 (90%) and $95,000
(45%) in the quarter and six months, respectively.  MPSI continues to invoice a
substantial number of Pacific Rim clients in Singapore Dollars, which accounts
for most of the indicated foreign exchange gain to date.

         MPSI reported $224,000 of income taxes for the six months ended March
31, 1996, compared with $79,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1995.
Although the Company had utilized most of its net operating loss carryforwards
in 1995 and expected to generate income taxes in the United States during this
fiscal year, the income taxes presented in both six-month periods are primarily
foreign taxes withheld at the source by clients making payments to MPSI  in the
United States for services.  The amount of U.S. taxable income generated during
the six months ended March 31, 1996, was minimal but is expected to increase by
September 30, 1996.


FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

         Working capital was $1,791,000 at March 31, 1996, compared with
$1,948,000 at September 30, 1995, and $571,000 at March 31, 1995.    The
$157,000 reduction in working capital since September 30, 1995, is attributable
to internal funding of computer equipment acquisitions and software development
which reduced cash resources, and to lower receivables (net of deferred
revenue) due in part to the delayed software releases discussed above.  The
Company has a bank line of credit in the amount of $250,000 which expires on
September 30, 1996.  Negotiations are presently under way with several banks to
obtain a credit line thereafter.  The Company also has the option of leasing
certain of its targeted computer equipment additions but has elected thus far
to buy such equipment in most instances.

         MPSI's business relies heavily on workstations and personal computers,
both of which are advancing rapidly in technological terms.  The continually
increased capacity of such equipment offers MPSI the opportunity to continue
productivity improvements both internally and for its client software users.
However, in order to maintain technological pace, the Company continues to
regularly replace its computer equipment on a rotating basis.  For the quarter
and six months ended March 31, 1996, MPSI spent $244,000 and $385,000,
respectively, on new computer equipment.  Present plans anticipate the
acquisition of approximately $450,000 of additional equipment by September 30,
1996, much of it directed to our foreign offices as they receive and begin to
support the CAPS releases applicable to their clients.

         As previously mentioned, MPSI has a continuing commitment to upgrading
its premier retail planning software for all operating regions.  The North
American version of CAPS was released early last fiscal year, and amortization
of the capitalized costs of that product is the principal component of Cost of
Sales - Software.  During the quarter and six months ended March 31, 1996, MPSI
spent and capitalized approximately $221,000 and $343,000, respectively,
related to the South American and European CAPS versions previously discussed.
MPSI will undertake development of CAPS versions for Japan and Southeast Asia
beginning later this fiscal year.  Those versions are scheduled for release to
clients in early fiscal 1997.

         Noncurrent liabilities, including deferred maintenance obligations in
future years under software license agreements ($1,696,000) and an accrued
liability related to the difference between average office lease expense and
actual cash lease payments ($205,000), have declined $265,000 and $15,000
respectively.  The decline in deferred maintenance is attributable to
reclassification of current portions and to the lower sales of new software
licenses previously discussed.  The lease accrual will continue to decline for
the remaining two years of the MPSI headquarters office lease as actual cash
payments each month will exceed the average rental rate utilized to record
monthly rent expense.

         The only changes in equity for the quarter and six months covered by
this report relate to exercise of stock options by employees,  net income, and
continued nominal gain attributable to translation of foreign subsidiary
operations to U.S. dollar equivalents.

EXHIBIT 11.1 - Earnings Per Share Computation



Earnings per share calculations may be affected by the granting of stock
options under the Company's stock option plan.  The granting of these options
may have a dilutive effect on earnings per common and common equivalent share.
Following is a summary computation of the weighted average number of shares
outstanding and earnings per share using the treasury- stock method.
