NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.    GENERAL NOTES:

      Certain notes to the September 30, 1998 audited consolidated financial
      statements filed with Form 10-K are applicable to the unaudited
      consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended June 30, 1999.
      Accordingly, reference should be made to the audited financial statements
      at September 30, 1998.

      In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited consolidated financial
      statements as of June 30, 1999 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.


2.    SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION:

      The Company paid interest of $149,000 and $81,000 during the nine months
      ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Net income taxes of $244,000
      and $184,000 were paid during the same respective periods.


3.    INCOME TAXES

      In March 1996, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") initiated an
      examination of tax years 1993 through 1995. The Company has not yet
      received a final report of the results but believes that the financial
      statements will not be materially affected as a result of revenue timing
      matters at issue and pending IRS technical review.


4.    DEBT

      Effective June 30, 1999, the Company renegotiated a line of credit with
      NationsBank, N. A. at which time the amount of the line was increased to
      $2,000,000. The agreement is for a twelve-month period and bears interest
      on any outstanding balances at New York prime plus 1%. The line is secured
      by substantially all of MPSI's accounts and contracts receivable, together
      with general intangible assets. At June 30, 1999, $1,300,000 has been
      advanced under the line of credit. The agreement restricts the Company's
      external financing during the commitment period as described below:

          * The Company must not permit to exist any borrowings except (a)
      borrowings under this agreement, (b) borrowings in connection with the
      purchase or leasing of assets in the normal course of business, (c)
      obligations related to trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of
      business, or (d) obligations under existing leases.

          * The Company's "Stockholders' Equity" must be in excess of $3,500,000
      during the commitment period.

      The Company is in compliance with these restrictions, and management is of
      the opinion that these restrictions will not adversely affect the
      Company's operations as they allow sufficient flexibility to meet
      anticipated operating requirements.



                                                                              8

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

MPSI reported a net loss of $387,000 or $.13 per share on revenues of $3.9
million for its third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 1999 which compared with a
net loss of $308,000 or $.11 per share on revenues of $5.2 million for the June
30, 1998 quarter. For the nine months ended June 30, 1999, MPSI reported a net
loss of $27,000 or $.01 per share on revenues of $13.9 million. This compared
with a net loss of $933,000 or $.33 per share on revenues of $14.4 million for
the nine months last year.

Revenues of $3.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 represent a
decrease of approximately 24% or $1,295,000 as compared with the comparable
period last year. Revenues decreased $1,158,000 (48%) in the North American
region, as compared to the same quarter last fiscal year, resulting from pricing
pressures (less than a 5% impact on overall revenues), smaller sized studies
completed during the quarter and, comparatively, fewer multi-client studies
being completed, thereby decreasing the favorable revenue impact of leveraging
data. Revenues in the European / South African region decreased $398,000 (59%)
over the same quarter last year as a result of multi-year contracts which have
an eighteen month cycle (due to start late in the fourth fiscal quarter of
1999). Revenues from Latin America decreased $176,000 (39%) as compared to last
year resulting from a downturn in the Brazilian economy which is expected to
unfavorably impact the Company through the remainder of 1999. The Pacific Rim
region experienced a $192,000 (17%) increase in revenues as compared to the
third quarter last year as a result of increased activity in that region.

Revenues of $13.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 represent a 4%
($545,000) decrease over the same nine months of fiscal 1998. Driven by the
second and third quarter performance of the Pacific Rim, revenues increased
$781,000 (19%) over the comparable period last year. Revenues decreased
$1,389,000 (22%), $1,270,000 (70%) and $36,000 (4%) in North America, Europe /
South Africa and Latin America, respectively, as compared to the same period
last fiscal year for the same reasons outlined in the above analysis of quarter
revenue fluctuations. Although there has been a decrease of $1,914,000 in
revenues from the Company's core petroleum business, revenues from related
products (consulting) and new product offerings (pricing products and
DataMetrix) has increase $1,369,000 over the nine months as compared to fiscal
year 1998.

Revenue and gross profit from the Company's pricing product line (principally
North American customers) was $463,000 and $237,000, respectively, for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $412,000 and $283,000, respectively,
for the comparable quarter last year. For the nine months ended June 30, 1999
revenue and gross profit were $1,657,000 and $1,050,000, respectively, as
compared with $866,000 and $661,000 for the comparative period last fiscal year.
This increase in pricing revenue and profitability reflects growth in both the
number of clients and markets utilizing these products.

The Company continues to place emphasis on a fully integrated product offering
and process improvements over and above its traditional retail/site evaluation
niche. Accordingly, the Company has undertaken three new initiatives designed to
(a) reduce software complexity and improve flexibility in order to open up new
petroleum market segments and/or industries, (b) leverage the substantial data
warehouse that MPSI has accumulated over the years, and (c) open new sales
channels for existing products utilizing the worldwide web. Included in expenses
during the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 1999 were costs of more than
$772,000 and $1,127,000, respectively, related to these initiatives (without
substantial revenue offset during start-up). During the quarter and reflected in
the nine months ended June 30, 1999, the new DataMetrix business unit generated
$139,000 of revenue. As of June 30, 1999, the DataMetrix business unit released
its first major product offering to the market. Management anticipates that
revenues during the fourth fiscal quarter of 1999 and thereafter will be
sufficient to cover associated operating expenses.

The Company's gross profit margin on information services during the quarter
ended June 30, 1999 increased to 54% as compared with 52% during the June 1998
quarter. Margins on information services for the nine months ended June 30, 1999
were 56% as compared to 55% for the comparable period last year. MPSI has
consistently implemented new technology in its information services business in
order to counterbalance rising labor costs and maintain the ability to
competitively price


                                                                              9

its products. The Company will continue to aggressively look at all aspects of
its software and information services to determine ways to reduce costs. The
software re-engineering noted above will also allow the Company to
significantly alter its database processes and further reduce costs beginning
in the fourth fiscal quarter of 1999. Additionally, year-to-date margins were
favorably impacted by the signing of a new software user late in the first
quarter which allowed the company to leverage information from studies which
were previously completed. Software cost of sales, including software
amortization, decreased $22,000 and $202,000 for the quarter and nine months
ended June 30, 1999, respectively, as compared to the same periods last year.
This change reflects the complete amortization of certain products developed in
prior years. The Company introduced its Capital Planning System (CAPS)(R)
software for its Japanese clients during the June quarter of 1999 and
anticipates a fourth quarter completion of a new but complementary software
system in North America. Based on the completion of these projects,
amortization of capitalized costs in future periods should increase to levels
more comparable with prior years.

During the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 1999, MPSI experienced a
decrease in operating expenses of approximately $513,000 (17%) and $1,258,000
(14%), respectively, compared with the same periods last year. General and
administrative expenses decreased $170,000 (20%) and $229,000 (9%),
respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 1999 as compared
with the same periods last fiscal year, primarily as a result of audit fees
related to an IRS audit incurred last fiscal year and certain expenses incurred
during the third fiscal quarter of 1998 related to our corporate relocation.
Decreases in marketing expenses of $133,000 (8%) and $507,000 (10%),
respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 1999 as compared
with the same periods last fiscal year are the result of cost cutting measures
implemented during the latter part of fiscal 1998, including personnel
reductions, office downsizing and a reduction of associated sales-oriented
travel. Research and development expenses are down approximately $210,000 (45%)
and $522,000 (36%) for the quarter and nine months, respectively, compared with
the similar periods last year. Although there has been no substantial change in
personnel levels, more resources are presently allocated to new software
development (capitalized), whereas last year such resources were allocated to
software maintenance and research activities (expensed). As MPSI anticipates
significant software product improvements during the remainder of fiscal year
1999, management anticipates that more of the costs of this group will again be
capitalized in future financial statements.

Other income is up approximately $64,000 in the quarter and up approximately
$1,000 for the nine months compared with last year. MPSI has reported a decrease
in interest income relative to multi-year software license agreements as a
result of normal accretion of deferred interest in excess of new contracts
received. Additionally, MPSI has experienced higher interest expense thus far in
fiscal year 1999 associated with increased working capital financing through its
principal bank line of credit. During the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the
Singapore Dollar and Japanese Yen maintained their value against the US Dollar
resulting in minimal foreign currency gains/losses on transactions invoiced to
the Pacific Rim in those currencies. Currency transaction losses for the third
quarter and nine months ended June 30, 1999 were $6,000 and $42,000,
respectively, as compared with losses of $52,000 and $150,000 for the comparable
periods last year. The currency transaction losses for fiscal 1999 relate
primarily to the devaluation of the Brazilian currency which occurred during the
second fiscal quarter. Currency swings can substantially affect quarterly
results, but management anticipates continued stability in the foreign markets
for the remainder of this fiscal year.

The income tax benefit on the net loss of $387,000 for the quarter ended June
30, 1999 was $1,000 resulting from foreign withholdings ($12,000) taxes on
income from foreign subsidiaries ($12,000) and an income tax refund related to a
quarterly estimate overpayment of $25,000. This compares to a tax expense of
$45,000 (including $37,000 foreign withholdings, $68,000 tax on foreign
subsidiaries and utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in certain
foreign subsidiaries of $60,000) on losses of $308,000 reported for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998. Income taxes on net income of $116,000 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1999 of $143,000 are made up of $131,000 foreign withholdings,
$37,000 tax on foreign subsidiaries and the refund of a quarterly estimate
overpayment of $25,000. This compares to a tax benefit of $242,000 on a net loss
of $1,175,000 for the comparable period last year. Included in last years tax
benefit were foreign withholdings of $86,000, taxes on foreign subsidiaries of
$94,000, utilization of the US deferred tax liability from 1997 against 1998 net
operating losses of $351,000 and utilization of net operating loss carryforwards
in certain foreign subsidiaries of $71,000.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Working capital of approximately $1.0 million at June 30, 1999 decreased from
$1.6 million at September 30, 1998 primarily as a result of increased borrowing
($950,000) on the bank line of credit to fund operations, offset by an increase
in


                                                                             10
<PAGE>   11


cash of $515,000 resulting from collections received late in the third fiscal
quarter. Trade receivables (net of associated deferred revenues) increased
$174,000 primarily as a result of delayed collections from a significant client
relating to a large multi-year software agreement, however, no ultimate
collection problem is anticipated. Trade accounts payable and accruals at June
30, 1999 decreased $262,000 as compared with September 30, 1998 resulting from
cash payments made to vendors late in the third fiscal quarter. The Company
continues to fund its activities primarily from operations but utilizes funds
from its available credit line as required. At June 30, 1999, the Company had
utilized $1,300,000 of the $1,500,000 available line of credit as compared to
$350,000 at September 30, 1998 to meet periodic fluctuations in cash
requirements. Although the working capital credit line expired June 30, 1999,
the Company has subsequently re-negotiated the existing agreement (including an
increase of the line to $2,000,000) for another year. The twelve-month credit
line is secured by substantially all of MPSI's accounts and contracts
receivable, together with general intangible assets and bears interest as New
York prime plus 1%. See note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
information about additional terms and financial covenants. Backlog of $14.0
million at June 30, 1999 increased slightly from $13.6 million at September 30,
1998. New orders received from North American, Japanese, and Southeast Asia
customers offset backlog reductions resulting from revenue recognized through
June 30, 1999.

Long term contracts (net of unamortized discount) decreased approximately
$716,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the same
period last fiscal year as a result of billings for current year portions
exceeding new contracts received.

During the nine months ended June 30, 1999, as set forth in the Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flow, MPSI expended approximately $1,153,000, approximately
equally split between capitalized programming of new software products/versions
and development of mapping products for DataMetrix. Comparatively, only $87,000
was expended during the same period last fiscal year (incurred late during the
third quarter) as work began on the Japanese CAPS model. During the first eight
months of fiscal year 1998, no new development was undertaken as the Company was
evaluating new product offerings and maintaining existing products. The higher
capitalized costs in the current year are the result of CAPS development for the
Japanese markets (which was completed in the third fiscal quarter of 1999),
re-engineering of the Company's core software system (first North American
release anticipated in September 1999), development of new mapping products for
the new DataMetrix business unit (first commercial products released June 30),
and development of software to be utilized internally to enhance the production
process of database construction and to shorten development times of new product
offerings (expected to begin use in the December 1999 quarter).

MPSI's net investment in equipment declined approximately $57,000 during the
quarter ended June 30, 1999 due principally to depreciation. During the nine
months ended June 30, 1999, the Company spent approximately $250,000,
principally on computer equipment and software, as compared with $85,000 in
fiscal 1998. Such expenditures were part of a plan initiated in fiscal 1998 to
upgrade internal systems and achieve Y2K compliance (see below). No firm
commitments had been made for additional computer equipment at June 30, 1999.
The Company expects to upgrade present equipment, as needed, throughout the
remainder of the year through funding from operations.

Other non-current liabilities declined $239,000 during the nine months ended
June 30, 1999 primarily due to the recognition of deferred maintenance revenues
associated with long term software agreements in excess of new contracts
received.

Changes in stockholders' equity since September 30, 1998 are the result of
routine recognition of the results of operations for the nine months ended June
30, 1999 and variations in the foreign currency translation adjustment relating
to the consolidation of foreign subsidiaries brought about by the currency
valuation benefits as discussed above.

YEAR 2000 IMPACT

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of a company's
computer programs or hardware that have date-sensitive software or embedded
chips may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing
disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability
of deliverable software products to meet client specifications or the inability
of internal software to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in
similar normal business activities. In order to correct this problem, computer
operating systems, applications software and/or hardware may require
modifications.


                                                                             11
<PAGE>   12


MPSI's assessment of the impact of this issue has encompassed (1) internally
utilized systems, (2) software held for resale, (3) computerized information and
software provided by third parties which might be integral to client usage of
MPSI products, and (4) compliance issues related entirely to the state of
readiness by major customers and vendors. Set forth below is the status of each
review and the estimated impact, to the extent that management can determine it:

o    Internal Systems. MPSI has assessed and tested its financial accounting
     systems, production control systems, software/data development
     applications, internal hardware, and other internal management information
     systems and believes them to be materially Year 2000 compliant. No
     significant costs have been expended. Costs yet to be incurred are
     estimated to be less than $75,000.

o    MPSI Software Held for Resale. The Company has preliminarily evaluated and
     tested the date sensitivity features of its applications software held for
     resale to customers and believes that there are no material unresolved
     Year 2000 compliance issues. A detailed testing plan was begun in May 1999
     and should be completed well in advance of December 31, 1999. MPSI's
     products typically are not date sensitive in nature and no significant
     costs were incurred or are anticipated in the future.

o    Third Party Systems. MPSI has queried all critical external suppliers of
     applications software, operating systems and PC computer equipment which
     we believe are integral components of a client's computer network that
     could affect the performance of MPSI products in that environment. While
     such products are not directly embedded in the MPSI product delivery,
     their Year 2000 compliance could affect a client's satisfaction with the
     use of MPSI products on site. Although not all inquiries have been
     completed and additional issues could yet be discovered, management
     estimates that it has received compliance satisfaction from all of the
     third party vendors that could materially impact MPSI product performance.
     Although no significant costs have been incurred to date relative to this
     category of computerized process, management is unable to assess future
     costs associated with as yet unidentified issues.

o    Customers and Vendors. MPSI's evaluation of the potential impact of Year
     2000 readiness by major customers and data suppliers is not yet complete.
     Slow response from third parties has extended the timeline for this
     evaluation. Management now expects this phase to be completed by September
     30, 1999 and should cost less than $25,000 to complete. To date,
     management has identified two potential issues: (1) remote product
     support, and (2) general client system failures. Other than the
     applications software delivered to clients as discussed above, the Company
     has limited direct interfaces with computerized systems of its customers
     or vendors, except that MPSI does provide a variety of product support and
     installation support services using remote access to client systems. We do
     not expect those interfaces to be materially impacted by Year 2000 issues,
     but in the event that they were, manual support could supplant the remote
     support without significantly affecting client relationships (although
     on-site support would be more expensive for a period). Should major
     clients experience general systems failures as the result of their
     planning for Year 2000, MPSI could be substantially impacted on a
     temporary basis. However, as most of MPSI's applications software can run
     on a single PC if necessary, our contingency plan contemplates transfer of
     client delivered software from its network configuration to compliant
     individual PC equipment until a client's overall system problems can be
     resolved. As clients and vendors are often unable or unwilling to share
     information about their state of Year 2000 readiness, management does not
     have sufficient information concerning the state of readiness of major
     customers/vendors, and assessment of the potential costs of the
     contingency plan (which might have to be partially borne by MPSI) cannot
     be determined.

Management of the Company believes it has an effective program in place to
resolve the Year 2000 issue in a timely manner, to the extent that compliance is
within the Company's control. As noted above, the Company has not yet completed
all necessary phases of the Year 2000 program. In the event that the Company is
unable to ascertain all potential external impacts and thereby is unable to
contemplate all possible contingency plans, the Company may be unable to satisfy
customer product performance expectations, take additional orders, invoice
customers or collect payments, or perform certain other mission-critical
functions. In addition, disruptions in the economy generally resulting from Year
2000 issues could also materially adversely affect the Company. The Company
could be subject to litigation for computer systems product failure, for
example, equipment shutdown or failure to properly date business records. The
amount of potential liability and lost revenue cannot be reasonably estimated at
this time.

                         EARNINGS PER SHARE COMPUTATION



Earnings per share calculations may be affected by the granting of stock options
under the provisions of MPSI Systems Inc. Stock Option Plans. 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. All computations give effect to a reverse stock split effective November
16, 1993 as if the transaction had occurred retroactively. Primary and fully
diluted earnings per share are the same for each period presented.
