MANATRON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_____________________________

(1) GENERAL INFORMATION

The consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared by Manatron, Inc. (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 1999, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 29, 1999.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly (a) the financial position of the Registrant as of January 31, 2000 and April 30, 1999, (b) the results of its operations for the nine-months ended January 31, 2000 and 1999, and (c) cash flows for the nine-months ended January 31, 2000 and 1999.
 
(2) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The Company had a valuation allowance at April 30, 1997 totaling $912,000 against certain of its future tax benefits, including its tax loss carryforwards, due to the uncertainty of their ultimate realization. Approximately $166,000 and $527,000 of this valuation allowance was utilized in fiscal 1998 and 1999, respectively, to offset the provision for federal income taxes. As of April 30, 1999, the Company had a valuation allowance of approximately $219,000 remaining which has been utilized to reduce the provision for federal income taxes in fiscal 2000. As a result, the Company estimates that its effective tax rate for fiscal year 2000 will be approximately 30%.
 
(3) BUSINESS REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

Under the provisions of SFAS No. 131, the Company has two reportable segments: Information Software, Systems and Services and Property Mass Appraisal Services. The Company's reportable segments are separately managed, as each segment has unique characteristics.

(4) ACQUISITION OF PROVAL CORPORATION

Effective June 1, 1999, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of ProVal Corporation. ProVal provides CAMA (computer assisted mass appraisal) software and services to local governments in the United States and Canada. The aggregate purchase price of approximately $3.45 million consisted of $1.5 million in cash and 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $1.95 million. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired of approximately $2.9 million has been recognized as goodwill and is being amortized over a 10-year period. Additional payments of cash and shares of common

Options to purchase 67,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $6.81 to $7.00 per share were outstanding during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2000, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock.

Options to purchase 17,954 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $5.13 to $5.25 per share were outstanding during the three months ended January 31, 1999, and options to purchase 72,454 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $4.63 to $5.25 per share were outstanding during the nine months ended January 31, 1999, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Net revenues of $11,304,653 for the three months ended January 31, 2000 have increased by 21% in comparison to the $9,355,332 of net revenues that were reported for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. Net revenues for the nine months ended January 31, 2000 of $32,796,798 also have increased by 23% in comparison to the $26,658,609 of net revenues that were reported for the nine months ended January 31, 1999. These amounts include revenues from computer hardware and software shipments, sales of computer forms and supplies and various related services such as mass real estate appraisals (revaluations), software support, training, hardware maintenance and forms processing and printing.

Appraisal service revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2000 have remained approximately the same versus the comparable period in 1999. However, for the nine months ended January 31, 2000, appraisal service revenues were approximately $2,200,000 or 20% higher than in the comparable prior year period. This increase is due to the continued execution of the Allegheny County (Pittsburgh), Pennsylvania, and Hamilton County (Cincinnati), Ohio, projects. Both of these appraisal services projects, which total approximately $28,500,000 in the aggregate, are over 75% complete.

The Company's backlog for appraisal services at January 31, 2000 decreased by approximately $1,700,000 to $18,400,000 compared to approximately $20,100,000 at October 31, 1999. The decrease in backlog for appraisal services is primarily due to the continued execution of the Allegheny County project. The Company has been actively pursuing new business to replenish the backlog as evidenced by recent major contracts with Dauphin County (Harrisburg), Pennsylvania (signed in June 1998 which includes approximately $3,700,000 of revaluation services), Rockland County, New York (signed in August 1999 which includes approximately $4,200,000 of revaluation services) and Lawrence County, Pennsylvania (signed in December 1999, which includes approximately $1,800,000 of revaluation services).

The Company has reserved 100% of retainage revenue related to the Allegheny County appraisal project and 15% of the retainage revenue on all other appraisal service projects due to the high degree of judgment involved in estimating the percentage of completion on these projects and the uncertainty regarding their ultimate realizability.

The Company expects to maintain a 100% reserve against the retainage revenue on the Allegheny County project in future periods until such time as the uncertainty surrounding the realizability of the retainage revenue is resolved. With the Allegheny County project over 75% complete, the Company expects to determine the ultimate outcome of this uncertainty during fiscal 2001 as the work on the project becomes substantially complete. As of January 31, 2000 and 1999, the total reserve against retainage revenue under all appraisal service project (including Allegheny County) was $1,673,295 and $750,685, respectively. As of January 31, 2000 and 1999, the total reserve against retainage revenue under the Allegheny County project was $1,559,922 and $473,708, respectively.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Revenues from hardware, software, support, professional services and supply sales have increased by 38.4% for the three months ended and 25.5% for the nine months ended January 31, 2000 versus the comparable prior year periods. These increases are primarily due to new contracts resulting from the century change and the introduction of new software. In addition, the acquisition of ProVal in June of 1999 has contributed to the increase in revenues.

As a result of the increase in net revenues, cost of revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2000 also increased 19.3% to $6,944,976 versus the comparable prior year amount of $5,821,302. In addition, cost of revenues for the nine months ended January 31, 2000 of $21,336,150 have increased by 23.3% in comparison to the $17,310,158 of costs that were reported for the nine months ended January 31, 1999. Margins have increased from 37.8% in the prior year quarter to 38.6% in the current quarter because of a favorable change in the mix of revenues. Margins for the nine month periods ended January 31, 2000 and 1999 were comparable at 35%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses have increased by 15.7% to $3,724,858 for the three months ended January 31, 2000, compared to $3,218,371 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Also, selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2000 of $9,794,041 have increased by 14.5% in comparison to the $8,550,916 of selling, general and administrative expenses that were reported for the nine months ended January 31, 1999. This increase primarily is due to increased investment spending for the new tax, recorder and Internet products, increased corporate marketing and annual salary adjustments.

As a result of the factors noted above, the Company had a 101% increase in its operating income to $634,819 for the three months ended January 31, 2000, versus $315,659 for the three months ended January 31, 1999. Operating income for the nine months ended January 31, 2000 of $1,666,607 has increased by 109% in comparison to the $797,535 of operating income that was reported for the nine months ended January 31, 1999.

The Company's provision for federal income taxes generally fluctuates with the level of pretax income. In addition, the effective tax rate generally is impacted because of non-deductible goodwill amortization related to the Company's acquisitions of ATEK Information Services, Specialized Data Systems and ProVal Corporation. However, as described in Note 2, the Company has available certain remaining unrecorded future tax benefits which will be utilized to reduce its provision for fiscal 2000 income taxes. As a result, the Company recorded a tax provision for the three months and nine months ended January 31, 2000 using an effective tax rate of approximately 30%. The Company has not recorded a provision in the comparable periods for the prior year because the available unrecorded future tax benefits were sufficient to offset it.

As a result of the factors noted above, the Company reported a 38.3% increase in its net income of $446,539 or $0.12 per share on a diluted basis for the three months ended January 31, 2000, versus $322,912 or $0.10 per share on a diluted basis for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. For the nine months ended January 31, 2000, the Company reported a 60% increase in its net income of $1,281,045 or $0.36 per share on a diluted basis versus $800,202 or $0.25 per share for the nine months ended January 31, 1999. Diluted weighted average outstanding

common shares increased by 460,831 shares from April 30, 1999 (3,180,162) to January 31, 2000 (3,640,993). This increase was primarily due to the ProVal acquisition and employee stock option exercises.

Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure

As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has not experienced any significant year 2000 issues arising from its customer systems or those of its vendors and suppliers. If there are ongoing year 2000 issues that might arise at a later date, the Company has contingency plans in place to address these issues. The Company continues to maintain contact with third parties with whom it has material relationships, such as vendors, suppliers and financial institutions, with respect to the third parties' year 2000 compliance and any ongoing year 2000 issues that might arise at a later date.

In addition, the Company has spent between approximately $625,000 and $950,000 in connection with identifying, assessing, remediating and testing year 2000 issues and does not expect to incur material costs in the future. The costs to implement the year 2000 changes primarily have consisted of personnel expenses for staff dedicated to identifying, assessing, remediating and testing year 2000 issues and professional fees paid to third party providers of software and remedial services. This includes both the Company's internal information systems as well as its software products. These costs have been funded through operating cash flows and short-term borrowings.

In light of the Company's efforts, the year 2000 issue has not had a material adverse effect to date on the operations or results of operations of the Company, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition. However, there can be no assurance that the Company or any third parties will not have ongoing year 2000 issues that may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition in the future.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

At January 31, 2000 the Company had working capital of $1,191,189 compared to the April 30, 1999 amount of $1,977,406. These levels reflect current ratios of 1.07 at January 31, 2000 and 1.12 at April 30, 1999. The decrease in working capital is primarily due to decreased cash flow resulting from an increase in the outstanding accounts receivable balance at January 31, 2000.

On November 1, 1999, the Company converted from a legacy-based accounting system to a client server-based accounting system for internal use. Due to this software conversion process, the Company focused the majority of its resources on the implementation and data conversion of the new accounting software and subsequently delayed its invoicing and cash collection activities. The focus on the software implementation rather than on invoicing and collection activities has resulted in a significant increase in the accounts receivable balance at January 31, 2000 and a corresponding negative impact on the Company's cash balance at January 31, 2000. As the Company's revenues are generated from contracts with local governmental entities, it is not uncommon for certain of its accounts receivable to remain outstanding for approximately three to

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

four months. Accordingly, the Company's account receivable balance at January 31, 2000 should decrease over the next fiscal quarter.

Shareholders' equity at January 31, 2000 increased by $3,696,439 to $10,480,284 from the balance reported at April 30, 1999, because of $252,720 of employee stock purchases, $1,943,998 for the issuance of stock in relation to the acquisition of ProVal Corporation, $1,281,045 of net income and $218,676 of deferred compensation expense that occurred during the first nine months of fiscal 2000. As a result, book value per share has increased to $3.06 as of January 31, 2000, from $2.28 at April 30, 1999, which represents an increase of 34.2%.

The nature of the Company's business typically is not property or equipment intensive. However, during fiscal 2000 the Company purchased a new 25,000 square foot corporate headquarters facility, which offers increased capacity. The purchase price for this building, including furniture and fixtures, was approximately $1,374,000. The remaining capital expenditures, which totaled approximately $500,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2000, were primarily for the purchase of additional or new computer hardware and software for the Company's technical and support personnel. This amount compares to the total capital expenditures of approximately $521,000 reported for the comparable period in the prior fiscal period.

On October 9, 1998, the Company entered into a new loan agreement with Comerica Bank, which provides for a $3,000,000 line of credit at prime through November 1, 2000. As of January 31, 2000, $1,027,800 was outstanding under this line of credit. In addition, the Company owed $25,000 on acquisition related debt and $50,000 on its ESOP loan. The Company is currently in the process of negotiating a new loan agreement which will provide appropriate borrowing capacity beyond November 1, 2000. The Company anticipates that the revolving line of credit, together with existing cash balances, and cash generated from future operations will be sufficient for the Company to meet its working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.

The Company cannot precisely determine the effect of inflation on its business. The Company continues, however, to experience relatively stable costs for its inventory as the computer hardware market is very competitive. Inflationary price increases related to labor and overhead will have a negative effect on the Company's cash flow and net income to the extent that they cannot be offset through improved productivity and price increases.

"Safe Harbor Statement" Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This Form 10-Q contains statements that are not historical facts. These statements are called "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements involve important known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors and can be identified by phrases using "estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "project," "expect," "intend," "predict," "potential," "future," "may," "should" and similar expressions or words. Our future results, performance or achievements may differ materially from the results, performance or achievements discussed in the forward-looking statements. There are numerous factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in forward-looking statements, including:
 
The impact that the following factors can have on our business and the computer software and service industry in general:



-11-


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

  Changes in competition and pricing environments: if competition increases in the computer software and service industry (particularly the segment of the industry that supplies governmental units), companies with greater capital reserves and greater diversification may have more options at their disposal for handling increased competition than we do.
     
  Potential negative side effects stemming from our expansion into new regional markets, including Canada: as a result of this expansion, we may face pitfalls that we are not fully aware of considering our lack of experience.
     
  Reliance on our appraisal contract involving Allegheny County, Pennsylvania: given the size of this contract, many of our projections may change significantly if this contract is curbed or terminated.
     
  Pricing and availability of equipment, materials, inventories and programming.
     
Changes in existing computer software and service industry laws or the introduction of new laws, regulations or policies that could affect our business practices, including, by way of example, intellectual property laws and laws affecting software providers' liability: these laws, regulations or policies could impact the computer software and service industry as a whole, or could impact only those portions of the computer software and service industry in which we are currently active, for example, privacy laws regulating how governmental units store and provide access to information; in either case, our profitability could be injured due to an industry-wide market decline or due to our inability to compete with other computer software and service industry companies that are unaffected by these laws, regulations or policies.
   
Changes in technology that render our products obsolete or incompatible with hardware or other software.
   
Our success in and expense associated with the development, production, testing, marketing and shipping of products, including a failure to ship new products and technologies when anticipated, failure of customers to accept these products and technologies when planned and any defects in products.
   
Our ability to implement successfully our business strategy of developing and licensing client/server decision support applications software designed to address specific industry markets.
   
Our ability to assess future revenue: the Company's expense levels are based, in part, on its expectations as to future revenue and a significant portion of the Company's expenses do not vary with revenue; as a result, if revenue is below expectations, results of operations are likely to be materially adversely affected.



-12-


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Continued availability of third party software and technology incorporated in our products.
   
Potential negative impact of the fact that purchase of the Company's products is relatively discretionary and generally involves a significant commitment of capital; in the event of any downturn in any potential customer's business or the economy in general, purchases of the Company's products may be deferred or canceled.
   
Changes in economic conditions, including changes in interest rates, financial market performance and the computer software and service industry: these types of changes can impact the economy in general, resulting in a downward trend that impacts not only our business, but all computer software and service industry companies; or, the changes can impact only those parts of the economy upon which we rely in a unique fashion, including, by way of example:
   
Economic factors that affect local governmental budgets.
   
Economic factors that may affect the success of the acquisition strategy that we pursued throughout the 1990s.
   
Factors that we have discussed in previous public reports and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This list provides examples of factors that could affect the results described by forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. However, this list is not intended to be exhaustive; many other factors could impact our business and it is impossible to predict with any accuracy which factors could result in which negative impacts. Although we believe that the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q are reasonable, we cannot provide you with any guarantee that the anticipated results will be achieved. All forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this section and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. In addition to the risks listed above, other risks may arise in the future, and we disclaim any obligation to update information contained in any forward-looking statement.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company's primary market risk exposure is a potential change in interest rates in connection with its outstanding line of credit. As of January 31, 2000, $1,027,800 in borrowings were outstanding under this line of credit. Due to variable interest rates on the Company's line of credit, an increase in interest rates of 1% could result in the Company incurring an additional $10,278 in annual interest expense. Conversely, a decrease in interest rates of 1% could result in the Company saving $10,278 in annual interest expense. The Company does not expect this market risk exposure to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company does not enter into market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.
