PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL
Except for the historical information contained herein, this Annual Report on
Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those
discussed in this report. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this section as
well as the section entitled "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
THE COMPANY
CAM Commerce Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in California in
1983, and reincorporated in Delaware in 1987. The Company's principal business
is to provide total commerce solutions for small to medium size, traditional
retailers and web retailers. These solutions are based on the Company's open
architecture software products for managing inventory, point of sale, sales
transaction processing and accounting. In addition to software, these solutions
often include hardware, installation, training, service and consulting provided
by the Company. Sales, service, research, and development are located in
California and Nevada, while the Company's customers are located throughout the
United States.
MICROBIZ ACQUISITION
In August 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of stock of
MicroBiz Corporation ("MicroBiz") for $1.8 million. MicroBiz, located in Mahwah,
New Jersey, is a leading provider of Windows based point of sale and inventory
management systems for single store retailers. The acquisition expanded the
Company's customer base by approximately 6,000 customers. The MicroBiz
acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and
MicroBiz is being operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
THE SYSTEMS
The Company offers four turn key systems:
(1) THE CAM SYSTEM -- designed for hard goods retailers whose
inventory is re-orderable in nature.
(2) THE PROFIT$ SYSTEM -- designed for apparel and shoe retailers
whose inventory is seasonable in nature, and color and size
oriented.
(3) THE RETAIL STAR SYSTEM -- a Windows-based system designed to
incorporate multiple functions of both the CAM and Profit$
systems.
(4) THE MICROBIZ SYSTEM -- a Windows-based system designed for
single store hard goods retailers that are generally smaller in
size than customers that utilize the CAM System.
Each of the Company's systems offer the ability to obtain: (i) automated pricing
of each item; (ii) billing for charge account customers; (iii) printing of a
customer invoice; (iv) tracking of inventory count on an item by item basis; (v)
computation of gross profit, dollars and/or percentage of each item; and (vi)
tracking of sales by clerk and department by hour, day and/or month. In
addition, the Company's systems provide full management reporting including zero
sales reports, inventory ranking, overstock and understock, sales analysis,
inventory valuation (cost, average cost and retail) and other reports. The
systems can also provide accounting functions including accounts receivable,
accounts payable, and general ledger.
1
<PAGE> 3
The Company's systems integrate Intel-based personal computers, computer point
of sale stations, hand-held and table top barcode laser scanners, terminal or
computer work stations, printers, and the Company's software. The Company is
able to adapt its software to existing Intel-based personal computer. Each
system is configured to meet the customer's particular needs and, as a result,
the components included in each system, including the personal computer,
printer, point of sale station and the Company's software, depend on the needs,
the size and the industry type of the customer.
The Company's software is derived from software originally designed and
subsequently licensed to (or acquired by) the Company by Retail Solutions, Inc.,
for the CAM system, by MicroStrategies, Inc., for the Profit$ system, by
Teamsoft, Inc. for the Retail Star system, by MicroBiz Inc. for the MicroBiz
system. The
Company continues to make modifications and enhancements to the software.
The Company provides an entire system to each customer on a "turn key" basis, in
that the Company provides all of the hardware and the software as well as the
installation of a system on the customer's premises. All systems, except the
MicroBiz system, are capable of handling multiple stores for a given customer.
In a multiple-store system, the Company typically installs a computer network.
The server computer at each store communicates with the server computer at the
customer's main office. The main server computer compiles all information from
the other locations for processing and reporting.
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
The Company believes that inventory control is the most important and time
consuming task facing the management of retail stores. Each of the Company's
systems were designed to address the retailer's need for simpler and yet more
accurate means of controlling a large and diverse inventory. All inventory
information, once entered into the system, is updated for each sale that is
transmitted from the point of sale station to the main computer. The systems are
able to provide for the following managerial reports:
(1) POPULARITY RANKING. The systems will report on the popularity of
each item in the store by producing a report listing each item
of inventory ranked according to the number of sales of each
item. The report is generated automatically and can produce a
list of daily, weekly, monthly, year-to-date and/or trailing 13
months of sales basis. The systems will also analyze the
popularity data and indicate to the retailer which particular
items of inventory are needed and which items are overstocked.
(2) ZERO SALES REPORT. The systems provide a sales analysis on a
monthly and year-to-date basis for inventory items for which no
sales have been made. The analysis can be reported on a total
sales basis or on a departmental or item level basis.
(3) INVENTORY TABULATION AND VALUATION. The systems provide reports
listing all inventory on hand, the valuation of such inventory
on a cost and retail basis, the average cost of each item in
inventory, and all items of inventory on order but not yet
received.
(4) AUTOMATIC PURCHASING. The systems provide a report listing all
items that should be ordered based upon historical data stored
in the system, including the number of items in inventory, the
number on the shelf, the number on order and the minimum
quantities required. The systems can also automatically provide
a purchase order if desired.
(5) PRICING. The systems are capable of producing price stickers in
20 customized label formats, assigning Uniform Purchase Code
numbers and printing barcodes directly upon the price labels for
reading by laser scanners. In addition, if there is a price
change, the systems will automatically update the pricing
information and, if desired, print new pricing labels.
(6) REPORTS. The systems permit the retailer to customize and
produce reports and forms utilizing data in the system in a
format preferred by the retailer.
ACCOUNTING MANAGEMENT
The CAM System is capable of performing accounting functions through the M.A.S.
90(R) accounting software available from the Company.

<PAGE> 4
SERVICE AND SUPPORT
Customer service and support is a critical element in maintaining customer
satisfaction. For a monthly fee, each purchaser of a system receives service and
support from the Company. The service and support provided by the Company
includes:
(1) HARDWARE SERVICE. The Company offers hardware service to its
customers on a time and material billing basis. The Company's
service representatives are trained to determine the source of
the problem or malfunction in the hardware and, once determined,
replace the defective component. Defective components are either
repaired at the Company's facility or sent to a manufacturer's
authorized service center for repair.
(2) TECHNICAL PHONE SUPPORT AND SOFTWARE ENHANCEMENTS. The Company
provides technical support by troubleshooting the customer's
systems problems via the telephone and via modem. The Company,
while not performing any significant customizing of its software
for particular customers, is receptive to comments from
customers concerning the Company's software. Such comments,
together with planned enhancements to the software, result in
improvements, which are provided without additional cost to all
customers on a service contract.
(3) INSTALLATION AND TRAINING. In order to assure customers that
they will be able to properly integrate the Company's system
into their business, the Company offers on-site installation and
training on the use and application of the system to each
customer. The training can take place at the Company's in-house
training facility or at the customer location. The amount of
training required depends upon the knowledge and experience of
the user plus the complexity of the business to which the system
is being implemented. The Company also offers training to its
customers via the telephone.
MARKETING
DIRECT SALES
The Company markets its systems primarily through the Company's direct sales
force consisting of thirty-four salespersons and sales associates, all of whom
work exclusively for the Company. The Company's marketing efforts extend
nationwide with offices in the states of California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington,
Colorado, Georgia, Minnesota, Florida, Missouri, Massachusetts and New Jersey.
Each salesperson is assigned a specific geographical territory and is
responsible for following up on sales leads in that territory. Each salesperson
is provided with a sales kit and demonstration equipment. Each salesperson is
trained by the Company to be able to define the needs of the potential customer,
recommend a system configuration, and provide appropriate price quotes. Upon the
execution of a typical sales contract, the Company is generally able to install
an entire system within four to eight weeks. The Company is paid directly by the
customer or by third-party leasing companies. Compensation for salespeople is
based on a percentage of gross profit for each system sold.
BROCHURES, TRADE SHOWS, AND ADVERTISING MEDIA
The Company markets its systems by advertising in trade journals, the World Wide
Web, and other print media targeted at retail businesses, by attending industry
specific trade shows, by using sales promotional videos, and by direct mail
advertising.
SOURCES OF SUPPLY
The computer hardware, which makes up the Company's systems, consists primarily
of standard components purchased by the Company from outside distributors and
includes products such as Intel-based personal computers, Okidata (printers),
Symbol Technologies (hand-held laser scanners and portable data terminals), Wyse
(terminals), Ithaca (40-column printers), and U.S. Robotics (modems). For most
computer hardware components, the Company has more than one source of supply.
3
<PAGE> 5
BACKLOG
The Company purchases component hardware for its systems based upon system
purchase orders and its forecast of demand for its products. Orders from
customers are usually shipped by the Company pursuant to an agreed upon
schedule. However, orders may be canceled or rescheduled by the customer with a
minimal penalty. For this reason, management believes such backlog information
is not indicative of the Company's future sales or business trends and is
subject to fluctuation. As of December 5, 2000, backlog was approximately
$1,031,000 as compared to $1,682,000 on November 29, 1999. Backlog is based upon
purchase orders placed with the Company which the Company believes are firm
orders.
COMPETITION
The industry in which the Company operates is highly competitive. The Company
competes with suppliers dedicated to one type of business and suppliers of
software that provide functions similar to the Company's software. Most
competitors sell their products through independent dealers on a regional basis.
The Company sells on a direct sales basis.
The Company competes on the basis of the capabilities and features of its
systems. It believes the introduction of the Windows-based Retail Star software
product gives it a competitive advantage because most of the Company's
competitors are still selling DOS-based software products. The Company considers
its systems to have greater capabilities for the small and medium size retailers
than suppliers of other systems. Included among such capabilities are ongoing
software enhancement, and a service organization in place to support the
customer after the initial sale.
The Company also competes with vertical market suppliers of automated retail
systems, which include hardware and software intended for use by a particular
retail industry segment. Some of these suppliers compete with the Company on the
basis of lower pricing.
The ability of the Company to meet competition will depend upon, among other
things, the Company's ability to maintain its marketing effort, increase the
capabilities of its systems through ongoing enhancements and improvements, and
to obtain financing when, and if, needed.
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
The Company has federal trademark registrations pending for the following two
trademarks: Retail Star, Retail Ice, Retail America, I.Star and X-charge. The
Company relies on a combination of trade secrets, copyright laws, and technical
measures to protect its rights to its proprietary software. The software
included in a system is not accessible by customers for purposes of revisions or
copying, as the Company does not release the software source code to customers.
The Company holds no patents and believes that its competitive position is not
materially dependent upon patent protection. The Company believes that most of
the technology used in the design and manufacture of most of the Company's
products is generally known and available to others. Consequently, there are no
assurances that others will not develop, market and sell products substantially
equivalent to the Company's products, or utilize technologies similar to those
used by the Company. Although the Company believes that its products do not
infringe on any third party's patents, there is no assurance that the Company
will not become involved in litigation involving patents or proprietary rights.
Patent and proprietary rights litigation entails substantial legal and other
costs, and there is no assurance that the Company will have the necessary
financial resources to defend or prosecute its rights in connection with any
litigation. Responding to, defending or bringing claims related to the Company's
rights to its intellectual property may require the Company's management to
redirect its resources to address these claims, which could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.
SEASONALITY
The Company believes that seasonality has not had a significant effect on its
business.
4
<PAGE> 6
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
The Company's software has been developed using a modular approach. Modular
designing allows a programmer to incorporate, replace or delete parts of a
computer software program without affecting the operation of the remaining parts
of the program. Accordingly, modular design facilitates the development of the
Company's software and new products enabling the Company's programmers to
incorporate entire sections from existing programs into the designs for such
products. The incorporation of existing software, which has already been fully
tested, into new products, reduces the time and expense that the Company would
otherwise incur in developing and enhancing its products.
The Company spent approximately $2,035,000, $1,606,000, and $1,460,000 on
software development, including amounts capitalized during the years ended
September 30, 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. The Company anticipates that
it will continue to incur software development costs in connection with
enhancements and improvements of its software and the development of new
products. These activities may require an increase in the Company's programming
and technical staff.
EMPLOYEES
As of September 30, 2000, the Company had 194 full time employees, including 15
employed in finance and administration, 33 in programming and testing, 49 in
sales and marketing, 23 in installation, 54 in service and support, 14 in
operations and 6 in consulting.
None of the Company's employees are represented by a labor union and the Company
believes that it enjoys harmonious relationships with its employees.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
There has been no material effect on the Company from compliance with
environmental regulations.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company currently leases approximately 22,000 square feet of space in
Fountain Valley, California pursuant to a five-year lease expiring January 1,
2002, at an average annual rent of approximately $192,000. This facility houses
the Company's executive and administrative offices, service and support staff,
system integration, and inventory warehouse.
In addition, the Company also leases the following properties: (i) approximately
11,000 square feet of office space in Henderson, Nevada, which houses the
Company's research and development team and the MAS 90 consulting division on a
ten-year lease that expires March 31, 2007, at an average annual rent of
$136,000; (ii) and various immaterial month-to-month leases for sales offices
throughout the country.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because of the nature of its business, the Company is from time to time
threatened or involved in legal actions. The Company does not believe any of the
legal actions now pending against it will result in material adverse effect on
the Company and, further, does not consider that any such proceedings fall
outside ordinary, routine litigation incidental to the business of the Company.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.

Since the Company typically does not purchase fixed-income securities, its cash
equivalents are not subject to significant interest rate risk. The Company
places substantially all of its interest bearing investments with major
financial institutions and by policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any
one financial institution. Additionally, the Company does not hold or issue
financial instruments for trading, profit or speculative purposes.
EQUITY PRICE RISK
The Company does not invest in available-for-sale equity securities, and is not
subject to significant equity price risk.

REPORT OF COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
TO: THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
As members of the Compensation Committee, it is our duty to review and recommend
the compensation levels for members of the Company's management, evaluate the
performance of management and administer the Company's various incentive plans.
This Committee has reviewed in detail the Compensation of the Company's three
executive officers. In the opinion of the Committee, the compensation of the
three executive officers of the Company is reasonable in view of its performance
and the respective contributions of such officers to the Company's performance.
In determining the management compensation, this Committee compares the
compensation paid to management to the level and structure of compensation paid
to management of competing companies. Additionally, the Committee considers the
sales and earnings performance of the Company compared to competing and
similarly situated companies. The Committee also takes into account such
relevant external factors as general economic conditions, geographic market of
work place, stock price performance and stock market prices.
Management compensation is comprised of 60% to 70% of fixed salary, and 30% to
40% variable compensation based on performance factors. Stock options are
granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and there is no set minimum
or maximum amount of options that can be issued. Performance factors that
determine management compensation are sales, net income of the Company, and
individual performance.
The committee examines compilations of executive compensation such as various
industry compensation surveys for middle market companies. In 2000, the
compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers
was comparable to other Chief Executive Officers and executive offices of middle
market companies in related industries.
Mr. Knapp, a member of the Committee, is also an executive officer of the
Company. However, Mr. Knapp abstained from any considerations with respect to
any decision directly affecting his compensation.

within 60 days from the date hereof, are deemed outstanding. Such
shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing
the percentage ownership of any other person.
(9) The percentage of ownership of the class of voting securities in the
above table has been calculated by dividing (i) the aggregate number of
shares of such class actually owned plus all shares of such class which
may be deemed to be "beneficially owned," by (ii) the number of shares
of such class actually outstanding plus the number of shares of such
class such "beneficial owner" may be deemed to "beneficially own"
assuming no other acquisitions of shares of such class through the
exercise of any option, warrant or right by any other person.
