Item 5.  Other Events.

          On March 24, 2000, the Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division approved Manatron, Inc.'s bid to purchase selected assets and assume certain contracts of CPS Systems, Inc. ("CPS"), a Dallas-based corporation which develops, markets, implements and supports software applications specifically for public sector organizations.

          As previously announced, CPS filed a voluntary petition for protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code on January 19, 2000. On March 24, 2000, the Trustee for CPS conducted an auction of CPS' assets. In connection with the auction, Manatron was the successful bidder for selected assets of CPS in exchange for $1.8 million in cash. The assets include the Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado and North Carolina property tax, appraisal and integrated voice response source code, software support and licensing agreements. The remaining assets of CPS were awarded to other bidders.

          Manatron expects that the asset purchase will close after a final court hearing on or about March 30, 2000.

          On March 27, 2000, Manatron issued the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
