                    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SCHEDULES

                          AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1995

                      TOGETHER WITH AUDITORS' REPORT































                            ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP




                 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Administrative Committee of the
Manatron, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership
and Salary Deferral Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
plan benefits of the Manatron, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership and Salary
Deferral Plan as of December 31, 1995, and the related statement of changes
in net assets available for plan benefits for the year then ended.  These
financial statements and the supplemental schedules referred to below are
the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and supplemental schedules
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 as of
December 31, 1995, and the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audit was 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 and reportable transactions 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.
The fund information in the statement of net assets available for plan
benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to
present the net assets available for plan benefits and changes in net
assets available for plan benefits of each fund.  The supplemental



schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit 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.

The accompanying supplemental schedules do not disclose historical cost
related information for certain of the Plan's investments.  Disclosure of
this information, which is not considered material to the financial
statements taken as a whole, is required by the Department of Labor Rules
and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosing under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974.

(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

     The accompanying financial statements are presented on the
     accrual basis of accounting.

     INVESTMENTS

     The quoted market price, as reported by Comerica, Inc., the
     trustee, was used to approximate the current value for all
     investments other than the guaranteed investment contract value.
     The Guaranteed Investment Contract Fund is fully benefit
     responsive, as described in AICPA Statement of Position No. 94-4,
     "Reporting of Investments Contracts Held by Health and Welfare
     Benefit Plans and Defined Contribution Pension Plans" (SOP 94-4)
     and therefore, reported at contract values as reported by the
     trustee.  Net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of
     investments included in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets
     Available for Plan Benefits is comprised of unrealized gains or
     losses resulting from changes in market prices and realized gains
     and losses on sales of investments.

     Under Department of Labor Reporting Regulations, the Plan is
     required to include the historical cost information in the
     accompanying supplemental schedules.  The Plan is currently
     unable to comply with certain of these requirements due to the
     unavailability of the information from Principal Mutual Life
     Insurance Company.

     CHANGE IN TRUSTEE

     Effective January 1, 1995, the Plan changed trustees from
     Principal Mutual Life Insurance Company to Comerica, Inc.
     Accordingly, plan investments previously held by Principal Mutual
     Life Insurance Company were liquidated and the resultant funds
     transferred to Comerica, Inc. (the "Trustee").

     USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
     generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
     make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
     in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual
     results could differ from those estimates.


(2)  DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

     The following description of the Manatron, Inc. Employee Stock
     Ownership and Salary Deferral Plan (the "Plan") provides only
     general information.  Participants should refer to the Plan
     agreement, as amended, for a more complete description of the
     Plan's provisions.

     GENERAL

     The Plan was established in 1988, by Manatron, Inc. (the
     "Company" or "Sponsor") as the Manatron, Inc. Salary Deferral
     Plan.  In the current year, the Company amended the Plan to
     include a leveraged employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP")
     feature, and renamed the Plan the Manatron, Inc. Employee Stock
     Ownership and Salary Deferral Plan.  The Plan is designed to
     comply with specific sections and regulations of the Internal
     Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and is therefore
     subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
     Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").

     In connection with the amendment, the Plan purchased 142,858
     shares of the Company's common stock for $500,000 from Allen
     Peat, former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company;
     using the proceeds of a bank borrowing (see Notes 3 and 5).  The
     stock is held by the Plan in a trust established under the Plan.
     The bank borrowing is to be repaid quarterly over a period of
     five years by fully deductible Company contributions to the trust
     fund.  As the Plan makes each payment of principal, an

(2)  DESCRIPTION OF PLAN, continued

     appropriate percentage of stock will be allocated to eligible
     employees' accounts in accordance with applicable regulations
     under the Code.

     Effective January 1, 1995, the Company also merged the previously
     existing ATEK Information Services, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan
     into the Plan.  As a result of the merger, the investment assets
     of the ATEK plan were liquidated and transferred to the Trustee,
     for reinvestment by the Plan.  Additionally, on the date of the
     merger, each participant in the ATEK plan became fully vested in
     their matching contribution account.

     Overall responsibility for administering the Plan rests with the
     Plan Administrative Committee (the "Committee"), which is
     appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company.  The Plan's
     Trustee, is responsible for the management and control of the
     Plan's assets and has discretionary responsibility for the
     investment and management of such assets.

     ELIGIBILITY

     The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially
     all employees of Manatron, Inc., ATEK Information Systems, Inc.,
     and Specialized Data Systems, Inc. (together the "Employers").
     Generally, an employee may become a participant in the Plan on
     the entry date following completion of one year of eligible
     service and having attained age 21, as described in the Plan.

     CONTRIBUTIONS AND VESTING

     The plan provides for three different types of contributions:

          ESOP CONTRIBUTION - As previously described, each plan year,
          the Company will contribute the required loan payments to
          the ESOP trust.  At the time of each payment, 7,142 shares
          of Manatron, Inc. common stock held by the ESOP trust will
          be committed for release to plan participants.  Released
          shares will be allocated to individual participant accounts
          based on the percentage of the individual participants

(2)  DESCRIPTION OF PLAN, continued

          compensation to all eligible participants compensation for
          the plan year. Participants must be employed on the last day
          of the plan year to be eligible for Company contributions.

          PROFIT-SHARING CONTRIBUTION - Each year the Company will
          decide whether to make a profit-sharing contribution to the
          Plan and the amount to be contributed.  Participants must be
          employed on the last day of the plan year to be eligible for
          the Company contribution.  The amount credited to a
          participant's profit-sharing account will be determined in
          the same manner as the ESOP contributions.

          ELECTIVE SALARY DEFERRAL CONTRIBUTIONS - Employees who
          participate in the Plan can elect to make voluntary pre-tax
          contributions in an amount between 1% and 15% of their
          annual compensation.  Annual participant contributions are
          limited to the maximum amount permitted by the Internal
          Revenue Code.  The Company matching contribution (currently
          25 cents for each dollar contributed by a participant up to
          5% of eligible pay) is set forth in the Plan document and
          may be changed by resolution of the Company.  Participants
          must be employed on the last day of the plan year to be
          eligible for the Company contribution.  The Company matching
          contribution during 1995 was approximately $82,000.

          VESTING - Participants are 100% vested in rollovers, direct
          transfers, elective salary deferral contribution, matching
          contributions and non-elective contribution accounts.
          Vesting for ESOP and profit-sharing contribution accounts is
          determined by the years of vesting service.  One year of
          vesting service is 1,000 hours or more of service in the
          plan year.  Participants become 20% vested after three years
          of vesting service and continue to vest 20% a year until
          they are 100% vested.

(2)  DESCRIPTION OF PLAN, continued

          MUNDER INDEX 500 FUND - A fund which provides price

     PARTICIPANT LOANS

     Participants of the plan may borrow from their accounts a minimum
     of $1,000, up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50%
     of their account balance.  Loan transactions are treated as a
     transfer to (from) the related investment fund from (to) the

     from 1-5 years or a reasonable period for the purchase of a
     primary residence.  The promissory notes are secured by the
     balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a
     reasonable rate established at the time of the loan by the plan
     administrator.  Principal and interest payments will be made
     ratably through payroll deductions.  Currently there are no
     participant loans from the plan.

     NET INVESTMENT INCOME

     of a participant's balance in each investment fund to total
     participant balances in the corresponding investment fund.

     FORFEITURES

     After an employee terminates, any non-vested amounts in the
     participant's account will be forfeited.  Forfeited amounts are
     allocated to all remaining participants in the same manner as
     investment income.

     DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTICIPANTS

     Distributions to participants generally occur upon a
     participant's retirement or termination of employment.  However,
     participants may defer distribution of their benefits until
     reaching age 70 1/2.  Vested balances of retired or terminated
     participants will be distributed in a lump sum payment, annuity,
     installments or transfer.

     ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE

     The Plan is administered by the Company.  Although not obligated
     to do so, administrative expenses and trustee fees totaling
     approximately $16,000 were paid by the Company in 1995.

     PLAN TERMINATION

     Although it has no current intent to do so, the Company reserves
     the right to terminate the plan and trust, or to cease or suspend
     further contributions, at any time, subject to plan provisions
     and applicable provision of ERISA.  Upon termination of the Plan,
     all participant's accounts become fully vested and non-forfeitable.


(3)  LOAN PAYABLE

     In connection with the stock purchase described in Note 2, the
     Plan entered into a $500,000 term loan agreement with Comerica,
     Inc., the Plan's trustee.  The borrowing is collateralized by the
     unallocated shares of ESOP stock and is guaranteed by the
     Company.  The lender has no rights against shares once they are
     allocated under the ESOP.  The loan agreement provides for
     quarterly principal payments of $25,000 over the next five years.
     The loan bears interest at the prime rate of the lender, which at
     December 31, 1995 was 8.75%.  A summary of future debt maturities
     is as follows:

(4)  TAX STATUS

     The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the
     Company by a letter dated August 6, 1991, that the Plan and
     related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections
     of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC").  The Plan has been amended
     since receiving the determination letter.  The Plan has filed for
     a new determination letter from the IRS.  Although the new
     determination letter has not yet been received, the Plan
     administrator is of the opinion that the Plan, as currently
     operating, meets IRS requirements and, therefore, the Plan and
     underlying trust continue to be tax-exempt.


(5)  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     As described in Note 2 in connection with the establishment of
     the ESOP, the Plan purchased 142,858 shares from Allen Peat, the
     Company's former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for
     $500,000.  The Plan's management and Allen Peat intended this
     transaction to be conducted at the current market value of the
     Company's stock on the date of purchase.  The actual market value
     the date the transaction occurred was $3.25 per share based on
     the "average" trade price.  Because the Company's stock is very
     thinly traded, and the average trade price on that date
     represented less than 1,000 shares, management believes the
     transaction approximated fair market value.
