ITEM I.  BUSINESS

GENERAL

     Marcam is a worldwide provider of enterprise applications and services for
process and discrete manufacturing companies using midrange and personal
computers, and workstations. The Company's PRISM(R), Protean(TM), MAPICS(R), and
Avantis(TM) product lines offer comprehensive business planning and control
solutions to customers' production, logistics, asset management and financial
requirements.

     Marcam was incorporated in Massachusetts in 1980. Unless the context
otherwise requires, the terms "Company" and "Marcam" refer to Marcam Corporation
and its subsidiaries.  The Company's principal executive offices are located at
95 Wells Avenue, Newton, Massachusetts 02159, and its telephone number is
(617) 965-0220.
 
     The Company was organized in 1980 as a consulting company to help
manufacturers improve manufacturing efficiency through implementation and
customization of International Business Machines Corporation's ("IBM")
manufacturing software.  In 1983, the Company recognized a need for business
planning and control software in process manufacturing companies that could not
be met satisfactorily by software then being marketed.  At that time, the
Company embarked upon a product development program to design and create
application software specifically for process companies which resulted in the
PRISM family of applications.  The first PRISM modules were licensed for
commercial use in the first quarter of fiscal 1987.
 
     In February 1993, Marcam acquired exclusive marketing rights to IBM's
Manufacturing, Accounting, Production, and Information Control System ("MAPICS")
product line.  Unlike PRISM, which addresses the requirements of process
manufacturers, MAPICS targets the discrete manufacturing marketplace.  The
Company believes that MAPICS is the most widely used Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) software package in the world.  In April 1993, the Company
announced a new MAPICS version, called MAPICS XA, that included 11 new modules,
extensive enhancements, new technology, and new ease-of-use features.  The
Company continues to enhance the applications and add new modules.  In September
1995, Marcam acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Mapics, Inc., the
company which develops and supports the MAPICS product line.  As a result of the
acquisition, the Company currently owns (through Mapics, Inc.) all right, title
and interest in the MAPICS product line.
 
     The Company's management structure is organized into six business groups.
Three of these are industry business groups, each of which is based around a
particular market segment to better focus its resources to address specific
needs.   The three industry business groups are:  Process, MAPICS, and Avantis.
Each industry business group oversees all worldwide activities associated with
its respective products, including sales and marketing, service, development,
and support. In addition to these business groups, Marcam's organization
includes three geographic business groups: Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA),
Asia Pacific (AP), and Latin America (LA).

     In addition to its internal product development efforts, the Company has
expanded its product offerings by entering into various relationships with
software vendors offering complementary software applications.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
- -------------------

     The Company markets its applications to process and discrete manufacturers
worldwide.  Industrial manufacturing companies can be characterized by the type
of manufacturing conducted: process or discrete.  Process companies, such as
food, chemical, mining, steel, pulp and paper, consumer product goods,
pharmaceutical, and building material companies, produce products by controlling
chemical reactions, including mixing, separating, heating, and refining.
Discrete companies, such as automotive, appliance, and aerospace companies,
produce products by assembling or machining.
 
     Process and discrete manufacturing differ in three fundamental ways:  (1)
the distribution of assets, (2) product cost characteristics, and (3) production
variability and predictability.
 
     Discrete manufacturers typically assemble parts into finished products.
This type of manufacturer has a relatively large investment in inventory to
ensure that the right parts are available when needed.  In contrast, process
manufacturers have a small portion of their assets in inventory because they
need smaller on-site quantities of fewer raw materials and do not keep
substantial work-in-progress inventories because production flows through the
plant.  Process companies require expensive, dedicated facilities to minimize
cost, maximize production, and control the process.

     Process manufacturers therefore have a relatively large portion of their
investment in plant and equipment.  Due to this significant investment and their
use of other inputs that are normally part of overhead, such as utilities,
equipment maintenance, and waste disposal, overhead costs represent a relatively
large portion of total costs for process companies.

     The procedures used in discrete manufacturing are relatively predictable,
with each product having one defined method of production.  In contrast, process
manufacturers may use different manufacturing processes for any given product,
depending on the price and availability of raw materials and equipment.
Additionally, recycled by-products and waste may be produced at various stages
of the process.

     The Company believes that the distinct management challenges faced by
industrial process and discrete manufacturers necessitate distinct business
planning and control systems, and builds differentiated products to address
these distinct business requirements.

     Until 1992, the Company focused product development efforts exclusively on
solutions for process companies and primarily offered one product line, PRISM,
running on the IBM AS/400 computer.  The Company then identified the opportunity
to expand its business focus to providing ERP applications and services for all
types of manufacturing (process and discrete) companies on many computer
platforms.  The Company believes that expanding its business in this way  offers
advantages, including: (1) additional revenue opportunities which provide
additional potential resources to invest in application technology and worldwide
services, (2) additional computer  platforms to provide customers with a choice
of environment, and (3) new industry-focused solutions that maintain the
Company's strategy of creating value by offering products with application
function that best fits process and discrete manufacturing business
requirements.

PRODUCTS

ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING (ERP)  SOLUTIONS FOR PROCESS COMPANIES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------

     Marcam offers two product lines for process companies: PRISM and Protean.
PRISM is the Company's original product which was introduced in 1987.  Protean
is the Company's next-generation product, introduced in 1994.  The most
significant difference between the products is the underlying technology: PRISM
remains available exclusively on the IBM AS/400 and is noted for its process
application depth and its strong integration.  Protean is an open systems,
client/server application developed in an object-oriented environment and Marcam
believes it is the first business application using this technology introduced
into the enterprise applications market.  Protean is available on leading UNIX,
and Microsoft Windows 95 and NT platforms.

                                       4

PRISM
- -----

     PRISM is a comprehensive product line that offers ERP solutions for
information systems including production, logistics, maintenance management and
finance applications.  The Company believes that while the breadth of the PRISM
offering is similar to competitive product lines, there are significant
differences in the depth of the offering, including PRISM's patented production
model.  The Company's development of the PRISM product was based upon on-site
research and the Company maintains a proactive process for gathering enhancement
requests from its customers. As a result, the Company believes the advanced
functions of PRISM support modern business practices in the process industries.

PRISM Enhancements and New Applications
- ---------------------------------------

     Continued growth in the ERP market in 1997 is expected to be driven by
manufacturers attempting to address the Year 2000 issue in their ERP systems.
PRISM 4.3, released in 1996, provides features that support system issues
relating to the Year 2000.  In addition Visual WorkPlace, a new PRISM
application, improves time to value by adding a Windows client to AS/400 servers
running PRISM.  PRISM 4.3 also  offers a path for adding object technology to
PRISM.  Other new functionality includes significant customer order management
enhancements,  enterprise manager enhancements to enable easier distribution of
key master files and new International Financial Management applications to
address global financial business processes.

PROTEAN
- -------

     Marcam believes that its Protean product line is the first fully object-
oriented, mission-critical set of applications for the ERP market.  Protean
products are being designed to provide a  complete ERP solution with enterprise-
level capabilities to manage logistics, production, procurement, financial and
maintenance requirements.  Created in an object-oriented architecture, Protean
applications are  designed to meet a user's current business needs, while
providing the ability to rapidly adapt enterprise applications to fit new and
evolving requirements without the time-consuming and costly process of rewriting
software code.  Protean products work on a choice of open platforms and leverage
industry standards, such as Microsoft(R) Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) and
the Windows(R) environment.

     The Company began shipping modules of its Protean product family in June
1994.  Since that time, the Company has continued to release additional modules.
The Company is currently shipping the following available Protean applications:
Plant Planning, Quick Scheduler, Inventory Control, Inventory Management,
Process Definition, Schedule Management, Schedule Activity Reporting, Entity
Management, Work Order Management, Preventive Maintenance, Maintenance, Repair,
and Overhaul Inventory, Maintenance Scheduling, Requisition Maintenance,
Purchase Order Management, and Invoice Management.

     Marcam is working with business partners to leverage the potential of its
new technology.  In April 1995, Marcam announced a working relationship with NEC
Corporation (NEC) designed to complement the business goals of each party.  The
relationship has focused additional resources on Protean product development,
accelerated delivery of Protean products and expanded the use of Protean
products worldwide.  Specifically, Marcam and NEC entered into a Distribution
Agreement under which NEC has the right to distribute Marcam's Protean products
generally to customers in Japan and to Japanese companies located outside Japan.
As part of this agreement, NEC has the right to use Protean to build software
for its customers in non-manufacturing markets.  NEC also uses Protean in its
System Integration and Services business.  As a result of this partnership, and
to support NEC in its efforts, Marcam is increasing the size of its organization
in Japan.  Additionally, Marcam and NEC entered into a Technology Transfer
Agreement under which NEC was granted the right to use certain Protean
technology within NEC and in return, NEC committed significant financial
resources for continued investment in Protean technology, as well as the joint
development of additional applications. Marcam and NEC have also formed Obtech
LLC, a company which offers object integration and services in North America.
The company operates under the direction of a board of directors from NEC and
Marcam. Marcam has provided Protean product and object technology expertise,
skills and training, while NEC has committed certain financial resources in
support of start-up activities. The Company believes that Obtech's object
integration services, along with network and system

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
management, project management, training and consulting services, will assist
Marcam in the implementation of Protean-based projects in companies of all
sizes.
 
     Marcam has also joined together with MCI Systemhouse, Digital Equipment
Corporation and Microsoft Corporation to offer its Protean  products along with
the products and services of the other parties to address the specialized
business requirements of process manufacturers.

     Protean applications are supported on the following platforms: Microsoft
Windows 95 and Windows NT, IBM RS/6000, HP-9000, and the DEC Alpha family of 
servers.

ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING (ERP) SOLUTIONS FOR DISCRETE MANUFACTURING
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPANIES
- ---------

MAPICS XA
- ---------

     The Company offers the MAPICS XA product line for discrete manufacturing
companies.  MAPICS was originally introduced by IBM in 1978.  MAPICS Extended
Advantage (XA) currently includes over 45 software modules, an increase from 19
modules in the three and one half years since the product line was acquired by
Marcam.  Already Year 2000 enabled, MAPICS XA is a comprehensive solution which
includes applications that satisfy business requirements in the areas of
Marketing and Logistics, Engineering, Production Planning, Plant Operations,
Financial Management, Maintenance Management and Cross Application Solutions.
The Company believes that the MAPICS product line has been licensed to more
manufacturing companies worldwide than any other software solution in its market
segment.  In Advanced Manufacturing Research's (AMR) 1995 survey of ERP customer
satisfaction, Marcam's MAPICS manufacturing software received the highest total
score (nearly one-third higher than the next competitor) and was rated highest
in phone support, release management and implementation results.

  MAPICS XA Enhancements
  ----------------------

     During fiscal 1996, enhancements were made to a number of existing MAPICS
applications.  Additional enhancements were made to the Customer Order
Management and International Financial Management applications as a result of
ongoing communication with customers, including extensive internationalization.
Customer requested enhancements were also added to Purchasing, Estimating &
Quote Management, Market Monitoring & Analysis, Knowledge Based Configurator,
Inventory Management and Material Requirements Planning. Continuing performance
improvements to the migration and installation process of MAPICS were also
delivered.  The remaining phases of Visual WorkPlace, the graphical user
interface for AS/400-based applications, were delivered, and the entire
reference library became available on CD-ROM.  In addition, the Executive
Information System and PowerVision were rewritten using Microsoft Visual
Basic(R), eliminating the dependency on a Forest & Trees run-time license and
adding support for double byte character language.

  New MAPICS XA Products
  ----------------------

  Electronic Commerce

     The first release of Electronic Commerce (EC) supporting ANSI X.12 and
EDIFACT standards was delivered to customers, expanding support in the area of
exchange of  business documents and data among customers, suppliers, financial
institutions and MAPICS users.  EC manages the trading partner relationship
definition, supports processing of business transactions and provides a
comprehensive set of interfaces with MAPICS and external systems including
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), FAX and E-Mail.  Partnerships are in place
with best-of-breed providers of interfacing applications such as EDI/400 from
Premnos Corporation and Telex/FAX/400 from cma*ettworth. Electronic translator
"maps" for many of the largest EDI hub vendors (K Mart, Walmart, JC Penney,
etc.) may also be licensed through Marcam as part of this offering.

Info WorkPlace

     Strengthening the analytical and reporting capabilities of MAPICS, Info
WorkPlace (IWP), now available to customers, offers users the power to access
the MAPICS database to obtain  the information needed for monitoring business
trends and decision making.  IWP caters to the needs of both the data processing
professional and the less technically experienced business user.  Info WorkPlace
enables report design without technical knowledge of files, keys or database
structure and supports complex data manipulation including percentages, weighted
averages, rankings and comparisons.  Users can design, modify and generate
reports that  reflect their specifications with run-time prompting of selection
parameters.  A client/server extension of this application has been announced.

SOLUTIONS FOR ASSET MANAGEMENT
- ------------------------------

AVANTIS
- -------

     The Company provides comprehensive asset management solutions for capital
intensive companies.   These solutions, previously only marketed as a PRISM
Maintenance Management application, are now also marketed under the brand name
of Avantis for the stand alone asset management market.  Avantis.XA, originally
introduced in 1981, remains available exclusively on the IBM AS/400 and is noted
for its application depth and its large base of satisfied customers.
Avantis.Pro is an open systems, client/server application developed with an
object-oriented design, based on the Protean technology.  This object-oriented
design offers many advantages to customers that see technology as a key element

- -----------

     Avantis.Pro is a next-generation solution for asset management that enables
customers to rapidly and easily reflect business changes within the software.
All objects within the solution will seamlessly integrate to industry leading
solutions for work flow, document management and imaging.  This ability to take
advantage of the strength of industry-leading solutions enables Avantis.Pro to
fit into best-of-breed information technology strategies.  The Avantis.Pro asset
management solution provides functions comparable to those in the Avantis.XA
solution.

LICENSE FEES

     The Company generally licenses its PRISM, Protean and Avantis products for
a one-time fee. The MAPICS XA products are generally licensed by the Company for
an initial license fee with recurring license fees due on an annual basis.  The
list prices for the Company's applications vary depending on the size of
processor, number of users, and local pricing variations in international
markets.  Modules are licensed individually allowing the customer to select
combinations which best fit their business systems needs.  A typical initial
license fee is $50,000 to $1,000,000 depending upon the product line and modules

     None of the Company's customers accounted for more than 10% of total
revenues in fiscal 1996, 1995, and 1994.  The Company generally ships its
products upon the execution of license agreements.  Accordingly, the Company
does not believe that its backlog at any particular point in time is indicative
of future sales.

IBM Relationship
- ----------------

     The Company has a number of marketing and product development relationships
with IBM.  IBM has also purchased licenses for the Company's products for
internal use, as well as for marketing purposes.  Marcam has purchased certain
services, equipment and software licenses from IBM.

     Under various agreements with the Company and its representatives, IBM
markets Marcam's products in cooperation with Marcam and its subsidiaries or
representatives in several countries.  In each case, Marcam or its
representative pays IBM a fee for marketing the Company's products when a sale
is made with IBM's assistance. The fee is calculated as a percentage of the
license fees received by Marcam and varies based on the agreement's specific
territories.  The Company paid IBM aggregate fees of $0 in fiscal year 1996.
The Company's independent representatives paid IBM additional fees.

     The Company also has an agreement with IBM in the United Kingdom under
which Marcam assists IBM in the marketing of IBM products, primarily the AS/400
series of computers and associated products.  During fiscal 1996, the Company
received $87,000 in such fees.

     IBM also markets and distributes some Marcam products on the Company's
behalf in certain geographies, including Europe, Latin America and Asia Pacific.
In fiscal year 1996, IBM paid the Company an aggregate of approximately
$1,208,000 relating to sales of the Company's products.

     The Company also licenses products and provides services to IBM in the
ordinary course of business.  During fiscal 1996, the Company recognized an
aggregate of approximately $409,000 from licensing products and providing
services to IBM.  IBM also sells products and provides services, including
distribution and translation services, to the Company in the ordinary course of
business.

     On September 29, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Mapics, Inc. ("Mapics"). In the acquisition, the Company ( 1) acquired from IBM
all the outstanding Class B Preferred Shares and Common Shares of Mapics for
$1.00; (2) acquired 4 Class A Preferred Shares and 4 Class C Preferred Shares of
Mapics from Richard C. Cook, the Vice President and General Manager of the
Company's MAPICS Business Group and the President of Mapics, in exchange for the
surrender by the Company to Mr. Cook of a promissory note made by Mr. Cook with
a principal amount of $58,823 and (3) acquired the remaining outstanding Class A
Preferred Shares and Class C Preferred Shares of Mapics from Edison Venture
Fund, L.P. for $1,508,122. As a result of the acquisition, the Company currently
owns (through Mapics) all right, title and interest in the MAPICS product line.

     In July 1993, a subsidiary of the Company and IBM United Kingdom Holdings
Limited ("IBM UK") entered into a joint venture agreement to market the
Company's PRISM and MAPICS product lines in the United Kingdom. Under the terms
of the agreement, IBM UK and the Company's subsidiary received specified
percentages of license fees for licenses sold by the joint venture. The parties
mutually agreed to terminate the joint venture in August 1996 at the end of the
contract because the original objectives had been achieved. The Company paid
$78,000 to IBM UK for the buy out of its interest.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

     During 1996, the Company continued its significant investments in object
technology.  The Company continued to deliver subsequent versions of its Protean
and Avantis.Pro products for production, inventory, and maintenance
applications. A number of Protean and Avantis.Pro customers began to use the
respective products in production.  It also delivered its first Japanese,
French, and German versions of Protean and Avantis.Pro.  The Company believes
that it is the first provider to deliver mission-critical, object-oriented
applications for the ERP market.  Object technology enables the Company to
deliver applications that are flexible, open, and easy to use and, therefore,
the Company believes its use of object technology will enable it to offer
customized 

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
applications made from standard reusable objects. The benefits of this approach
to customers include a high level of fit and function with support costs
comparable with those of standard applications.

     When appropriate, the Company may also enter into development agreements
with current and prospective customers and others as part of its product
development effort.  Often, periodic enhancements to products for subscribers to
Marcam's customer support program are provided.  Further, custom programming
services are made available for a fee to customers.  During fiscal years 1996,
1995, and 1994, gross research and product development expenditures were
$39,913,000, $41,140,000, and $36,405,000, respectively.

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND LICENSES
 
     The Company usually provides its PRISM, Protean and Avantis products to end
users under  non-exclusive, non-transferable licenses which typically have
perpetual terms.  The MAPICS XA product is available under a non-perpetual
license which is renewable pursuant to the payment of annual  license fees.
Under the Company's current form of license agreement for the PRISM, Protean and
Avantis products, the licensed software may be installed on customers' computers
and used solely for internal operations by an agreed-upon number of named users.
The MAPICS XA products are licensed for use on designated computers at specified
sites. The Company protects many of the PRISM, Protean, and Avantis software
modules as trade secrets and unpublished copyrighted works.  Although the
Company takes steps to protect its trade secrets, there can be no assurance that
misappropriation will not occur.  Because of the size and complexity of its
products, the Company typically makes the source code for many of its PRISM,
MAPICS XA and Avantis modules available to its customers.  There can be no
assurance, however, that copyright and trade secret protection will be available
in certain countries for the source code or object code versions of the
Company's products.  MAPICS XA is protected as a copyrighted work;  it is not
protected as a trade secret.
 
     The Company currently relies on a combination of patent, trade secret,
copyright and trademark laws and license agreements to protect its proprietary
rights in its products.  Marcam has obtained a patent on a method for modeling
production processes, which is embodied in the PRISM and Protean process
products.  The Company has also obtained a patent on a method for managing how
computer programs communicate with each other across dispersed systems and
different release levels of software throughout an enterprise, which is also
embodied in the PRISM database.  The Company believes that, because of the rapid
pace of technological change in the computer software industry, patent, trade
secret and copyright protection are less significant than factors such as the
knowledge, ability and experience of the Company's employees, frequent product
enhancements and the timeliness and quality of support services.
 
COMPETITION
 
     The principal competitive factors in the market for enterprise resource
planning software and services include product functionality, technology,
quality, performance, reliability, ease of use, size of installed base, service,
and vendor reputation and financial stability.  The Company believes that its
products currently compete favorably on the foregoing bases, although in certain
instances, it may be at a competitive disadvantage against companies with
greater financial, marketing, service and support, and technological resources.
 
     The Company typically competes against the larger multinational vendors
which offer applications that address the ERP marketplace, including AS/400
solution vendors and vendors which provide open software solutions. The Company
also experiences competition from software developed by the management
information systems departments of its largest potential customers.  Marcam
believes its competitive strengths include its process and discrete industry
expertise, its proven functional leadership and customer implementation results,
and its long-term vision and early leadership position with object technology.

None of the Company's employees are represented by a labor union.  The Company
has experienced no work stoppages and believes that its employee relations are
good.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

     The Company's principal administrative, marketing and product development
and support facilities are located in Newton, Massachusetts, where the Company
leases a total of 121,000 square feet under an agreement that expires in 1999.
The Company also leases office space for its other North American, Latin
American, European and Asian sales, development, and service offices.
 
     The Company believes that its facilities are adequate for its current
needs.  See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information
regarding the Company's obligations under its facilities leases.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the
normal course of business.  While the outcome of these matters cannot be
predicted with certainty, management does not believe the outcome of any of
these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ
materially from the results discussed in forward-looking statements. Factors
that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those
discussed in "Factors Affecting Future Performance".

OVERVIEW
- --------

     Marcam is a worldwide provider of enterprise applications and services for
manufacturing companies. The Company's products offer comprehensive business
planning and control solutions to customers' production, logistics, asset 
management and financial requirements.
 
     The Company's revenues are derived from licensing its Protean, PRISM,
Avantis, and MAPICS XA products. For the first three quarters of 1996, the
Company also derived revenues from its subsidiary, Foresight Software, Inc.
(FSI) and its MXP product line, which was divested effective as of June 30,
1996. Each of these product lines support different customers' technology
strategies. The Protean products, which utilize advanced object technology,
tools and databases, are platform independent. PRISM and MAPICS XA products
provide customer solutions implemented on the IBM AS/400. The Avantis products
provide customer solutions implemented both on the IBM AS/400 and open systems,
utilizing object technology.

     Marcam also derives revenue from the sale of product support and related
services.  Product support is offered to licensed customers generally based on
agreements that are renewed annually.  Related services 

                                       15
<PAGE>
 
include assisting with customer implementation of licensed software, providing
custom programming and system integration services, and providing educational
material and instruction in the use of licensed software.

     During 1996, Marcam took a number of strategic measures designed to better
address its market opportunities, while balancing the need for short-term
profitability improvement.

     The Company continued to invest aggressively in product development. The
major areas of focus included increased development resources in support of
Protean and expenditures on foreign language translation and localization,
particularly in support of MAPICS XA. Gross research and development
expenditures in 1996 totaled $39,913,000, or 19.8% of total revenue.

     During 1996, the Company delivered new Protean releases adding production,
inventory management and planning functionality, as well as further enhancements
to Procurement and Maintenance Management applications.  As of September 30,
1996, Protean was in full production at nine customer sites.  In September 1996,
the Company delivered PRISM Release 4.3, with significant enhancements including
functionality which addresses year 2000 enablement and provides a migration path
to the Company's Protean products.  Earlier in the year, the Company delivered
Release 3.0 of MAPICS XA, which included significant enhancements as well as new
modules for Electronic Commerce and the Information WorkPlace.

     Also during 1996, the Company increased resources in selected sales and
marketing roles, including senior marketing and sales management executives, to
better position itself for long-term growth.

     The Company also completed a review of its operating expense structure and
overall operations.  As a result, the Company converted direct sales operations
in Latin America and Asia Pacific to affiliate distribution channels and
implemented staffing reductions in many areas.  Additionally, the divestiture of
FSI was completed as of June 30, 1996.

     The Company recorded restructuring charges during 1996 totaling $10,600,000
related to the actions described above. Of this amount, approximately $5,500,000
related to the divestiture of FSI, $1,990,000 related to employee severance
payments, $1,040,000 related to the write-off of intangible assets and
$2,070,000 addressed lease cancellations, fixed asset write-offs and other
miscellaneous costs related to the restructuring actions.  In total,
approximately $6,870,000 in cash expenditures will result from these actions.

     The Company also recorded a charge during fiscal 1996 of $3,250,000 for the
settlement of the shareholders' class action litigation that was filed in 1994.

     Marcam also took action to raise additional capital to meet its short-term
objectives. This consisted of the addition of $10,000,000 of equity capital in
the form of preferred stock and warrants which was completed in July 1996. The
Company had $21,817,000 in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 1996.

1996 COMPARED TO 1995
- ---------------------

Revenues
- --------

  Total revenues decreased 0.4% to $201,424,000 in 1996 from $202,332,000 in
1995.  Total revenues excluding revenues from the MXP product line, which was
divested as of June 30, 1996, increased 2.8% to $190,280,000 in 1996 from
$185,030,000 in 1995.  The increase in total revenues (excluding revenues from
the MXP product line) was due to the increase in services revenues, which was
partially offset by the decrease in license fee revenues.

  License fee revenues decreased 11.5% to $93,137,000 in 1996 from $105,232,000
in 1995.  License fee revenues excluding revenues from the MXP product line
decreased 7.5% to $86,664,000 in 1996 from $93,685,000 in 1995.  The decrease in
license fee revenues resulted from the decline in license fee revenues for PRISM
and Protean products, which more than offset the continued revenue growth for
MAPICS products.

  Services revenues increased 11.5% to $108,287,000 in 1996 from $97,100,000 in
1995.  Services revenues excluding revenues from the MXP related services
increased 13.4% to $103,616,000 in 1996 from $91,345,000 in 1995.  The services
revenues increase, which occurred in all geographies, was primarily due to
growth in the Company's consulting and support businesses. This was primarily
the result of the growth in the installed customer base.

Cost of License Revenues
- ------------------------

  Cost of license revenues represented 17.9% and 17.7% of license revenues in
1996 and 1995, respectively.  The cost of license revenues as a percentage of
license revenues increased slightly in 1996 primarily due to increased
amortization of capitalized software for the MAPICS and Protean products, and
increased amortization of software translation costs for translating products
into foreign languages.

Cost of Services Revenues
- -------------------------

  Cost of services revenues represented 64.2% and 64.8% of services revenues in
1996 and 1995, respectively.  The decrease in cost of services revenues as a
percentage of services revenues in 1996 was primarily the result of higher
margins realized in the Company's implementation consulting and customization
businesses.  This was due to the decreased use of external resources as compared
to the prior year.  External resources, although flexible, are generally more
costly than internal resources.

Selling and Marketing
- ---------------------

  Selling and marketing expenses decreased $4,284,000, or 4.9%, in 1996 from
1995. The decrease in total selling and marketing expenses was due to decreased
spending on marketing programs as well as reduced headcount and the decline in
license revenues which led to lower commission expense.  As a percentage of
revenues, selling and marketing expenses decreased to 41.1% in 1996 from 43.1%
in 1995.  The decrease as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to
decreased spending on marketing programs and reduced headcount.

Product Development
- -------------------

  Product development expenses were $27,680,000 and $25,930,000, representing
13.7% and 12.8% of total revenues in 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The increase
of  $1,750,000 in 1996 was primarily the result of lower amounts qualifying for
capitalization as software development costs under the Company's policies.

  Gross research and product development expenditures in 1996 and 1995 were
$39,913,000 and $41,140,000, respectively. The $1,227,000 decrease was primarily
due to the Company's decision in the fourth quarter of 1995 to cease development
of the PRISM Client/Server products and to the FSI divestiture. This decrease
was partially offset by the increased investment in the Company's object
technology. The amounts of software development costs capitalized were
$12,233,000 and $15,210,000 for 1996 and 1995, respectively, representing 30.6%
and 37.0% of gross research and development expenditures.

                                       17

General and Administrative
- --------------------------

  General and administrative expenses, which include the Company's finance,
accounting and corporate administrative functions, increased by $1,605,000 in
1996 from 1995.  The increase was due primarily to a $1,000,000 charge taken in
the second quarter of 1996 for service contract claims and legal costs, as well
as investments in internal information systems.

Restructuring Charges
- ---------------------

  During the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1996, the Company recorded
restructuring charges of $8,300,000 and $2,300,000, respectively.  The
$10,600,000 of charges related to a restructuring of the Company's global
operations and the divestiture of FSI.  At September 30, 1996, $3,982,000
related to these charges remained in accrued liabilities.  Management believes
that the remaining balance will be adequate to cover future expenditures
associated with the 1996 restructuring actions and expects that the
restructuring actions will be complete by the end of fiscal 1997.  See
"Overview".

Litigation Settlement
- ---------------------

  During the second quarter of 1996, the Company reached an agreement to settle
the shareholder class action litigation which was brought against the Company in
August 1994.  Of the $5,750,000 settlement, the Company contributed $2,750,000
from its own funds, with the remainder provided by insurance.  The Company
recorded a charge of $3,250,000 to cover the settlement and other related
expenses.

Interest and Other Income
- -------------------------

  Interest and other income increased $732,000 in 1996 from 1995.  The increase
was due to higher average cash balances resulting from the financing activities
undertaken during the quarters ended September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1996,
and higher interest rates on invested balances.

Interest and Other Expense
- --------------------------

  Interest and other expense increased $1,075,000 in 1996 from 1995.  The
increase in 1996 was primarily due to interest expense from capital leases and
other financings, as well as franchise taxes.

Provision for Income Taxes
- --------------------------

  The income tax expenses for 1996 of $4,586,000 and 1995 of $2,634,000 were
primarily due to foreign withholding taxes and income taxes on income generated
in foreign jurisdictions for which tax credit utilization is currently
uncertain.  There was no tax benefit recorded in 1996 or 1995 for losses
generated during the periods due to the uncertainty of realizing such benefits.

1995 COMPARED TO 1994
- ---------------------

Revenues
- --------

  Total revenues increased 17.0% to $202,332,000 in 1995 from $172,876,000 in
1994.  License fee revenue increased 13.2% to $105,232,000 in 1995 from
$92,974,000 in 1994.  The increase in license fees resulted from license revenue
growth for all product lines, with the most rapid rate of growth in the MAPICS
XA and MXP products. License revenue also grew most rapidly overseas, especially
in Asia Pacific and Latin America.

  Services revenue increased 21.5% to $97,100,000 in 1995 from $79,902,000 in
1994. The services revenues increase, which occurred in all geographies, was due
to growth in the Company's consulting and support businesses. This was primarily
the result of the growth in the installed customer base.

Cost of License Revenues
- ------------------------

  Cost of license revenues represented 17.7% and 14.7% of license revenues in
1995 and 1994, respectively.  The cost of license revenues increased in 1995
primarily due to increased amortization of capitalized software resulting from
newly-released object-technology products, and increased levels of translations
of all products into foreign languages.

                                       18
<PAGE>
 
Cost of Services Revenues
- -------------------------

  Cost of services revenues represented 64.8% and 63.3% of services in 1995 and
1994, respectively.  The increase in cost of services revenues as a percentage
of services revenues in 1995 was primarily the result of lower margins realized
in the Company's implementation consulting business.  This was due to the
increased use of external resources utilized to meet high demand.  External
resources, although flexible, are generally more costly than internal resources.

Selling and Marketing
- ---------------------

  Selling and marketing expenses increased $5,611,000, or 6.9%, in 1995 from
1994. The modest rate of increase was primarily due to expense controls. These
controls were offset in part by an increase in the  percentage of license sales
generated by the Company's indirect selling channel, primarily for the MAPICS XA
product line, which has higher selling and marketing costs than the Company's
direct sales channel.

Product Development
- -------------------

  Product development expenses were $25,930,000 and $19,655,000, representing
12.8% and 11.4% of total revenues in 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The increase
of  $6,275,000 in 1995 was primarily the result of increased investments in the
Company's object technology offset in part by a reduced level of computer
software costs capitalized.

  Gross research and product development expenditures in 1995 and 1994 were
$41,140,000 and $36,405,000, respectively.  The amounts of computer software
costs capitalized were $15,210,000 and $16,750,000 for 1995 and 1994,
respectively, representing 37.0% and 46.0% of gross research and development
expenditures.

General and Administrative
- --------------------------

  General and administrative expenses increased by $512,000 in 1995 from 1994.
The increase was due primarily to increased legal expenses incurred by the
Company.

Restructuring Charge
- --------------------

  In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company recorded a restructuring
charge of $28,756,000 related to the cessation of development of the PRISM
Client/Server product line, intangible asset write-offs, staffing reductions,
the consolidation of certain facilities and reorganization of the MXP product
organization.  This charge reflected costs of approximately $9,100,000
associated with the decision to discontinue PRISM Client/Server development,
including the costs of customer commitments and the write-off of previously
capitalized software.  The charge also reflected costs of $16,300,000 associated
with the write-off of capitalized software and other intangible assets, the
future values of which were impaired by restructuring actions or were not
supported due to changes in business outlook.  The charge included $2,300,000
related to the closure or consolidation of certain European facilities,
including related write-offs of property and equipment, and $1,100,000 related
to the headcount reduction of forty employees.

Interest and Other Income
- -------------------------

  Interest and other income increased $268,000 in 1995 from 1994.  The increase
was due to higher average cash balances resulting from the capital raised during
the fourth quarter, and higher interest rates on invested balances.

Interest and Other Expense
- --------------------------

  Interest and other expense increased $1,259,000 in 1995 from 1994.  The
increase in 1995 was due primarily to a full year of interest expense and
amortization of warrants associated with the $25,000,000 Subordinated Notes
which were issued in May 1994.

Provision for Income Taxes
- --------------------------

  The income tax expense for fiscal 1995 of $2,634,000 was primarily due to
foreign withholding taxes and income taxes on income generated in foreign
jurisdictions for which tax credit utilization is currently 

                                       19
<PAGE>
 
uncertain. The income tax benefit of $738,000 in fiscal 1994 was primarily due
to the carry-back of operating losses and research and experimentation credits.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

  The Company has funded its activities primarily from cash generated from
operations, from borrowings and from equity financings.

  Current assets decreased by $15,941,000 during 1996 to $78,551,000 from
$94,492,000. This decrease was primarily due to lower cash and accounts
receivable balances.  Total cash and short-term investments of $21,817,000 at
September 30, 1996 decreased by $7,514,000 from $29,331,000 at September 30,
1995.  The decrease in cash is attributable to cash used for restructuring
related payments and investments during the year, principally for computer
software costs and capital equipment, offset in part by the Company's
$10,000,000 preferred stock and warrant financing which occurred during the
fourth quarter of 1996.  Accounts receivable at September 30, 1996 of
$50,602,000 decreased by $9,725,000 from $60,327,000 at September 30, 1995.
Days sales outstanding decreased from ninety-nine days for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995 to eighty-six days for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.
The decrease in accounts receivable and days sales outstanding was due primarily
to better collections experience.

  Current liabilities increased by $156,000 during fiscal 1996 to $94,003,000.
This increase was due primarily to increases in deferred revenue of $1,007,000,
partially offset by net decreases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and
other current liabilities of $851,000. The increase in deferred revenue was
primarily due to the growth in demand for Marcam's support services.  The net
decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities was
principally attributable to decreases in the restructuring reserves.  As of
September 30, 1996, the Company had no material commitments for capital
expenditures.  As a result of the changes in current assets and current
liabilities, working capital decreased by $16,097,000 from $645,000 at September
30, 1995 to a working capital deficit of $15,452,000 at September 30, 1996.

  At September 30, 1996, the Company had outstanding debt of $25,000,000 in
9.82% unsecured subordinated notes due April 30, 2001. The terms of the
subordinated debt contain financial covenants which, among things, require the
maintenance of certain financial ratios, limit the Company's ability to incur
additional debt, and preclude the payment of dividends. The Company is in
compliance with these covenants, as amended.

  In addition, the Company has a revolving credit facility of $12,000,000, with
borrowing availability equal to 80% of qualifying accounts receivable.
Borrowings under this facility bear interest at a designated prime rate plus 1%
per annum.  The maximum borrowing availability under this facility was increased
from $7,500,000 to $12,000,000 in December 1996.  This credit facility expires
August 31, 1997.  The Company's obligations under this credit facility are
secured by liens on substantially all of the Company's assets.  Additionally,
this credit facility contains covenants which, among other things, impose
certain limitations or prohibitions on the Company with respect to the
additional indebtedness, liens and capital leases; the payment of dividends on,
and the redemption or repurchase of capital stock of the Company; investments
and acquisitions; the merger or consolidation of the Company with any person or
entity, and the disposition of any of the Company's property or assets.  As of
September 30, 1996, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under this
revolving credit facility.

  In July 1996, the Company issued and sold 100,000 shares of Series E
Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, for an aggregate price
of $9,500,000, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of
common stock of the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000. Each
share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the
option of the holder into 10 shares of the Company's common stock, subject to
adjustment in the event of certain reorganizations or reclassifications of the
Company's capital stock. The warrants are exercisable at any time during the 
period commencing July 23, 1996 and ending July 23, 2003, at an exercise price 
of $15.36 per share of common stock.

                                       20

  In fiscal 1996 the Company recorded restructuring charges totaling
$10,600,000.  Of this amount approximately $2,890,000 has resulted in cash
expenditures.  As of  September 30, 1996, a balance of $3,982,000 associated
with these charges remained in accrued liabilities.  In fiscal 1995, the Company
recorded a restructuring charge of $28,756,000.  As of September 30, 1996, a
balance of $595,000 associated with this charge remained in accrued liabilities.
The remaining restructuring accrual balances are expected to result in cash
expenditures during fiscal 1997.

  The Company has used cash during fiscal 1996 and 1995 to fund strategic
investments, in particular substantial expenditures for new product development,
and operating losses.  During fiscal years 1996 and 1995 the Company's product
development expenditures were $39,913,000 and $41,140,000, respectively.  During
1997, the Company currently intends to make similar investments in product
development.  The Company's objective is to fund these investments primarily
with cash from improved operations.  The Company's ability to generate cash from
operations depends upon, among other things, revenue growth, completion and
market acceptance of new products, success in enhancing and selling its current
AS/400-based families of products, improvements in operating productivity, and
payment terms and collection of accounts receivable.  There can be no assurance
that the Company's operations will generate sufficient cash to finance these
activities.  Until operations improve to meet its cash requirements, the Company
will need to rely on existing cash resources and borrowings under its credit
facility.  The Company currently anticipates that its available cash and
borrowing capacity will be sufficient to fund operations in 1997.  If, however,
such sources prove insufficient in 1997, or over the longer term, the Company
will be required to make changes in operations or seek additional debt or equity
financing.  There can be no assurances that additional debt or equity financing
will be available or available with terms acceptable to the Company.

Other Matters
- -------------

  In October 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("FAS 123"), was issued which will
require the Company to elect either expense recognition under FAS 123 or its
disclosure-only alternative for stock-based employee compensation.  The expense
recognition provision encouraged by FAS 123 would require fair-value based
financial accounting to recognize compensation expense for employee stock
compensation plans. The Company has determined that it will elect the
disclosure-only alternative.  The Company will be required to disclose the pro
forma net income (loss) and pro forma income (loss) per share in the notes to
the financial statements using the fair-value based method beginning in fiscal
1997 with comparable disclosures for fiscal 1996.  The Company has not
determined the impact of these pro forma adjustments to its net income (loss) or
income (loss) per share.

  To date, management believes inflation has not had a material impact on the
Company's operations.

FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE PERFORMANCE
- ------------------------------------

  In addition to other information contained in this Form 10-K, the following
factors should be carefully considered.

Recent Operating Losses/Liquidity
- ---------------------------------

    The Company has incurred operating losses of  $15,795,000 and $29,371,000
for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  At
September 30, 1996, the Company's accumulated deficit was $62,795,000.  There
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to operate profitably or
achieve sustained profitability in the future.

    The Company has used cash during fiscal years 1996 and 1995 to fund
strategic investments, in particular substantial expenditures for new product
development, and operating losses. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 1996
and 1995 the Company's product development expenditures were approximately
$39,913,000 and $41,140,000, respectively. During 1997, the Company currently
intends to make similar investments in product development. The Company's
objective is to fund these investments primarily with cash from improved
operations. The Company's ability to generate cash from operations depends upon,
among other things, revenue growth, completion and market acceptance of new
products, success in enhancing and selling its current AS/400-based families of
products, improvements in operating productivity, and payment terms and
collection of accounts receivable.

    The Company continues to focus its resources on the Protean, MAPICS XA,
PRISM and Avantis product families. The Company's ability to successfully
continue this strategy will impact its future results of operations and
liquidity position. The continuation of this strategy will depend upon, among
other things, its ability to maintain and enhance its major product lines, to
develop and introduce new products that keep pace with technological
developments, and to satisfy increasingly sophisticated customer requirements.

  There can be no assurance that the Company's operations will generate
sufficient cash to finance its activities. Until operations improve to meet
its cash requirements, the Company will need to rely on existing cash 
resources and borrowings under its credit facility. The Company currently
anticipates that its available cash and borrowing capacity will be sufficient to
fund operations in 1997. If, however, such sources prove insufficient in 1997,
or over the longer term, the Company will be required to make changes in
operations or seek additional debt or equity financing. There can be no
assurances that additional debt or equity financing will be available or
available with terms acceptable to the Company.

Variability of Quarterly Results
- --------------------------------

  The Company's sales cycle typically ranges from three to twelve months, and
the cost of acquiring Marcam's software and associated computer hardware, and of
training system users, represents a significant expenditure for customers. The
Company's relatively long sales cycle and variable average revenue per
transaction, together with fixed short-term expenses, such as product
development expenditures, can cause significant variations in operating results
from quarter to quarter, if projected revenues are not realized in the expected
period. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve or
maintain profitability in the future or that its levels of profitability will
not vary significantly among quarterly periods. Further, it is possible that in
some future quarters the Company's revenues or operating results will be below
the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In such event, the price
of the Company's common stock could be materially adversely affected.

New Products and Technological Change
- -------------------------------------

  The market for the Company's software products is characterized by rapid
technological advances, evolving industry standards in computer hardware and
software technology, changes in customer requirements, and frequent new product
line introductions and enhancements.  The Company's future success will depend
on its ability to enhance its current product lines and to develop and introduce
new products that keep pace with technological developments, satisfy
increasingly sophisticated customer requirements and achieve market acceptance.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in developing and
marketing, on a timely and cost-effective basis, product enhancements or new
products that respond to technological advances by others, or that its new
products will achieve market acceptance.

  The Company is currently facing the challenges of a product and technology
transition.  In particular, many of the Company's software products (such as
PRISM and MAPICS) are designed to operate on IBM proprietary hardware, including
IBM's AS/400 computer systems. The Company must continue to invest in
enhancements and support for these products in a cost-effective manner.  The
Company's newest products are designed to be platform independent and utilize
advanced object technology.  Products embodying this technology are just
beginning to be introduced into the existing ERP marketplace.  Although the
Company believes that its new object technology products will enjoy increased
acceptance by users in the ERP marketplace, there can be no assurance that such
products will be accepted by users to a significant degree or at all.  Major new
product enhancements and new products can require long development and testing
periods to achieve market acceptance.  In addition, software 

                                       22
<PAGE>
 
programs as complex as those offered by the Company may contain errors which are
undetected when the products are first introduced or as new versions are
released that, despite testing by the Company, are discovered only after a
product has been installed and used by customers. There can be no assurance that
errors will not impair the market acceptance of these products or adversely
affect the Company's operating results. The Company has from time to time
experienced problems with customers not being able to install or implement
certain of the Company's new product releases and with product performance,
including problems related to product functionality, product response time and
program errors. Currently, Marcam is not aware of any product implementation
issues which have not been addressed or are not currently being addressed by
Marcam. There can be no assurance that the problems encountered by customers
installing and implementing new releases or with the performance of the
Company's products will not arise in the future, and if such problems arise,
that such problems will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business and operating results.

Relationship with and Dependence on IBM
- ---------------------------------------

  A substantial majority of Marcam's software license revenues is derived from
products designed to operate on IBM's proprietary AS/400 series of computers.
Marcam's current business is therefore affected by IBM's success in designing
and marketing these computer systems.

International Activities
- ------------------------

  A material portion of the Company's business comes from outside the United
States.  Risks inherent in the Company's international business activities
include imposition of government controls, restrictions on the export of
critical technology, political and economic instability (including fluctuations
in foreign currency exchange rates), trade restrictions, changes in tariffs and
taxes, difficulties in staffing and managing international companies, longer
accounts receivable collection cycles and the burdens of complying with a wide
variety of foreign laws and regulations.  Effective patent, copyright and trade
secret protection may not be available in every foreign country in which the
Company sells its products.  The Company's business, financial condition, and
results of operations could be materially adversely effected by any of these
risks.

Dependence on Proprietary Technology
- ------------------------------------

  Marcam's success is heavily dependent upon its proprietary software.  Marcam
relies on a combination of patent, trade secret, copyright, and trademark laws,
and non-disclosure and license agreements, to protect its products.  Marcam
enters into confidentiality and/or license agreements with its employees,
distributors, customers and potential customers, and limits access to and
distribution of its software, documentation, and other proprietary information.
There can be no assurance that steps taken by Marcam in this regard will be
adequate to deter misappropriation or independent third party development of its
technology.

  Although the Company believes that its products and technology do not infringe
any existing proprietary rights of others, there can be no assurance that third
parties will not assert such claims against the Company in the future or that
such future claims will not be successful.  The Company could incur substantial
costs and diversion of management resources with respect to the defense of any
claims relating to proprietary rights, which could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Furthermore, parties making such claims could secure a judgment awarding
substantial damages, as well as injunctive or other equitable relief, which
could effectively block the Company's ability to make, use, sell, distribute or
market its products and services in the U.S. or abroad.  Such a judgment could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations.  In the event a claim relating to proprietary
technology or information is asserted against the Company, the Company may seek
licenses to such intellectual property.  There can be no assurance, however,
that such a license could be obtained on commercially reasonable terms, if at
all, or that the terms of any offered licenses will be acceptable to the
Company.  The failure to obtain the necessary licenses or other rights could
preclude the sale, manufacture or distribution of the Company's products and,
therefore, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.  The cost of responding to any
such claim may be material, whether or not the assertion of such claim is valid.

                                       23

Competition
- -----------

  The market of application software to support manufacturers and distributors
is highly competitive. Some of Marcam's current and potential competitors have
significantly greater development, marketing and capital resources than Marcam.
In addition, most of Marcam's existing and potential customers have a variety of
software developed by their management information systems departments. Marcam's
success depends, in part, on its ability to persuade existing and potential
customers to replace or augment their internally developed software with
Marcam's products, and there can be no assurance that Marcam will be able to
accomplish this objective.

Attraction and Retention of Key Personnel
- -----------------------------------------

  Marcam believes that its success will depend in large part on its ability to
attract and retain highly-skilled technical, managerial, and marketing
personnel.  Competition for such personnel is intense.  None of Marcam's
employees are bound by an employment agreement.  All key employees, however, are
bound by a non-competition agreement which extends for one year after
termination of their employment with Marcam.  There can be no assurance that
Marcam will be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel it requires
to continue to grow and to operate profitably.

Possible Volatility of Stock Price
- ----------------------------------

  The stock market from time to time experiences extreme price and volume
fluctuations, particularly in the high technology sector.  In addition, factors
such as announcements of technological innovations or new products by Marcam or
its competitors, quarterly financial releases, as well as market conditions in
the computer software or hardware industries, may have a significant impact on
the market price of Marcam's common stock.  Marcam's common stock has
experienced, and may in the future exhibit, price volatility because of factors
related, as well as unrelated, to Marcam's operating performance.

                               MARCAM CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)  NATURE OF BUSINESS

     Marcam Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") is a leading worldwide
provider of enterprise application software and services for manufacturing
companies.  The Company also provides product support, implementation
consulting, education, and programming services to its customers.  The Company's
products offer comprehensive business planning and control solutions for
customers' production, logistics, asset management and financial requirements. 
The Company's primary geographic markets include North America, Latin America,
Europe, Asia Pacific, Africa and the Middle East.

(2)  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     (a) Basis of Presentation
         ---------------------

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Marcam
Corporation and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in the prior
year financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current
year presentation.

     (b)  Use of Estimates by Management
          ------------------------------

     The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain
estimates and assumptions.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  The most significant
estimates included in these financial statements are the valuation of
capitalized software, intangible assets, accounts receivable and deferred tax
assets.  Actual results may differ from estimates.
 
     (c)  Revenue Recognition
          -------------------

     The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of its software licenses upon
the signing of license agreements,  delivery of the software and determination
that collection of the related receivable is probable.  Under the terms of the
Company's license agreements, the customer is responsible for installation and
training.  At the time the Company recognizes revenues from the sale of software
licenses, no significant vendor obligations remain, and the costs of
insignificant support obligations are accrued.
 
     The Company recognizes revenues from license renewals (which typically
include some customer support obligation) and post-contract customer support
agreements as services revenues ratably over the terms of the agreements.
Revenues from consulting and custom programming services are recognized as
services are performed. Related expenses are included in cost of services
revenues.

     Revenues from sales through third party representatives are included in
revenues, and related commissions are included in selling and marketing
expenses.

     (d)  Cash and Short-Term Investments
          -------------------------------

     Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of
three months or less from the date of purchase. Investments with maturities
greater than three months and less than twelve months are considered to

                                       32

                              MARCAM CORPORATION
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


be short-term investments.  Cash equivalents and short-term investments consist
primarily of commercial paper, municipal bonds, time deposits and  money market
investments.

     The Company classifies all securities that mature in less than one year as
"held to maturity" securities. At September 30, 1995, held to maturity
securities consisted of municipal bonds recorded at an amortized cost of
$2,019,000, which approximated fair value. At September 30, 1996, the Company
held no securities.

     (e)  Concentrations of Credit Risk
          -----------------------------

     Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable.
The Company provides credit, in the normal course of business, to various types
and sizes of manufacturers located throughout the world. Management does not
believe significant credit risk exists at September 30, 1996.
 
     (f)  Property and Equipment
          ----------------------

     Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method based upon the following estimated useful lives:
 
           Furniture and fixtures       5 to 7 years
           Computer equipment           3 to 5 years
           Leasehold improvements       Shorter of lease or useful life of asset

     (g)  Computer Software Costs
          -----------------------

     The Company charges all costs of establishing technological feasibility of
computer software products to  product development expense as they are incurred.
Thereafter, computer software costs are capitalized and reported at the lower of
unamortized cost or net realizable value.  Computer software costs include in-
house software development costs and the costs incurred to translate software
into various foreign languages.  Amortization of computer software costs
commences upon general release of the product to customers and is computed on a
product-by-product basis using the greater of the amount determined using (a)
the ratio that current period gross revenues bear to the total of current and
anticipated future gross revenues or (b) the straight-line method over the
estimated economic life of the product.  Amortization and related write-offs are
charged to cost of license revenues.  Capitalized software is subject to rapid
technological obsolescence and, as a result, amortization periods could
ultimately shorten to reflect the change in future technology.

     Computer software costs capitalized during 1996, 1995 and 1994 amounted to
approximately $12,233,000, $15,210,000 and $16,750,000, respectively.
Amortization of computer software costs during those periods was approximately
$9,034,000, $8,453,000 and $5,461,000, respectively, including the write-down of
certain costs in 1994 of $1,429,000.  Additionally, in 1996, capitalized
software and translation costs with a net book value of  $2,090,000 were written
off as part of the 1996 restructuring charges described in Note 5.  In fiscal
1995, capitalized software and translation costs with a net book value of
$18,253,000 were written-off as part of the 1995 restructuring charge described
in Note 5, and computer software valued at $9,391,000 was recorded in connection
with the acquisition of Mapics, Inc., as described in Note 13.  Accumulated
amortization at September 30, 1996 and 1995 totaled $23,581,000 and $18,540,000,
respectively.

     (h)  MAPICS Intangible Costs
          -----------------------
 
     The MAPICS intangible costs represent intangibles that are being amortized
to cost of license revenues using the straight-line method over the estimated
lives of the intangibles, ranging from 5 to 15 years, as described in Note 13.

                                       33
<PAGE>
 
                               MARCAM CORPORATION
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

MAPICS intangible costs are shown net of accumulated amortization of $2,707,000
and $2,067,000 as of September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     (i)  Goodwill
          --------

     The excess of the cost of businesses acquired over the fair market value of
net assets acquired is being amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over
eight years.

     (j)  Intangible Assets
          -----------------

     The Company evaluates the net realizable value of capitalized software and
other intangibles on a quarterly basis using undiscounted cash flows.  The
Company's review of intangible assets includes an analysis of past operating
results, business plans and budgets related to recoverability of the specific
assets.

     (k)  Foreign Currency Translation
          ----------------------------

     The functional currency for each of the Company's foreign operations is
generally its local currency.  Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries
are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end rates of exchange.  Revenues and
expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average rates for the periods.
The resultant translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of
stockholders' equity on the consolidated balance sheets.

     (l)  Income Taxes
          ------------

     The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method,
pursuant to which deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences
of differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax
bases of existing assets and liabilities.  The effect on deferred income taxes
of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment
date.

     The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on the undistributed
earnings of foreign subsidiaries which the Company considers to be permanent
investments.

     (m)  Net Income (Loss) Per Share
          ---------------------------

     Net income per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  Common
equivalent shares are included in the per share calculations where the effect of
their inclusion would have been dilutive.  Net loss per share is based upon the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Common
equivalent shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options,
warrants and convertible preferred stock, the proceeds of which are then assumed
to have been used to repurchase outstanding common stock using the treasury
stock method.

     (n)  New Accounting Pronouncement
          ----------------------------
 
     In October 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("FAS 123"), was issued which will
require the Company to elect either expense recognition under FAS 123 or its
disclosure-only alternative for stock-based employee compensation.  The expense
recognition provision encouraged by FAS 123 would require fair-value based
financial accounting to recognize compensation expense for employee stock
compensation plans. The Company has determined that it will elect the
disclosure-only alternative.  The Company will be required to disclose the pro
forma net income (loss) and pro forma income (loss) per share in the notes to
the financial statements using the fair-value based method beginning in fiscal
1997 with comparable disclosures for fiscal 1996.  The Company has not
determined the impact of these pro forma adjustments to its net income (loss) or
income (loss) per share.

(3)  ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

     The Company provides reserves for customer receivable balances which are
considered potentially uncollectible. The Company's allowance for doubtful
accounts amounted to $2,472,000, $3,005,000 and $2,930,000 at September 30,
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The provision charged to bad debt expense,
which is generally included in selling and marketing expenses, was $3,828,000,
$1,449,000 and $4,512,000 for fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and
write-offs against the allowance were $4,361,000, $1,374,000 and $2,213,000 for
fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

                                                     ========   ========
</TABLE>

     The carrying value of assets under capital leases included in the above was
$973,000 at September 30, 1996, which was net of accumulated amortization of
$415,000. There were no capital leases for property or equipment at
September 30, 1995.

                                                     =======  =======
</TABLE>

     In the third and fourth quarters of 1996, the Company recorded
restructuring charges of $8,300,000 and $2,300,000, respectively. These charges
resulted from the Company's completion of a review of its operating expenses and
overall operations. As a result, the Company divested its MXP product line and
committed to the restructuring of global operations. Approximately $6,870,000 of
the total 1996 restructuring charges has resulted in or is expected to result in
cash expenditures. At September 30, 1996, $3,982,000 related to these charges
remained in accrued liabilities. Management believes that this remaining balance
will be adequate to cover future expenditures associated with the 1996
restructuring actions and expects that the restructuring actions will be
completed by the end of fiscal 1997.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


     Included in the 1996 restructuring charges is $5,500,000 associated with
the Company's decision to divest itself of the MXP product line, represented by
its Foresight Software, Inc. subsidiary. This charge represents the net loss
incurred in connection with the disposition of the stock of Foresight Software,
Inc. in a sale effective as of June 30, 1996, as well as additional costs of
divestiture. The Company received a promissory note in the amount of $2,775,000
from Foresight Software, Inc. and may be entitled to future royalties. The
Company will recognize the proceeds from the note and any future royalties as
cash payments are received, due to the uncertainty of collection. The results of
operations for fiscal 1996 and 1995 and the net assets divested were immaterial
to the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial position.

     The remaining $5,100,000 of the 1996 restructuring charges related to the
conversion of certain direct sales operations in the Asia Pacific region and in
Latin America to affiliate distribution channels and a headcount reduction in
Europe and North America.  Of this amount, $570,000 related to the cost of
customer commitments, $1,990,000 related to employee severance payments for
approximately ninety employees, $1,370,000 related to lease cancellations and
other costs, and $1,170,000 related to the write-off of certain related fixed
assets and intangible assets.

     In September 1995, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of
$28,756,000 related to the cessation of development of the PRISM Client/Server
product line, the write-off of intangible assets, staffing reductions, the
consolidation of certain facilities and reorganization of the MXP product
organization. This charge reflected costs of approximately $9,100,000 associated
with the decision to discontinue PRISM Client/Server development, including the
cost of customer commitments and the write-off of previously capitalized
software. The charge also reflected costs of $16,300,000 associated with the
write-off of capitalized software and other intangible assets, the future values
of which were impaired by restructuring actions or were not supported due to
changes in business outlook. The charge includes $2,300,000 related to the
closure or consolidation of certain European facilities, including the related
write-off of property and equipment, and $1,100,000 related to the headcount
reduction of forty employees. Approximately $8,076,000 of the total charge has
or is expected to result in cash expenditures. As of September 30, 1996,
approximately $595,000 related to this charge remained in accrued liabilities.
Management believes that this remaining balance will be adequate to cover future
expenditures associated with the 1995 restructuring actions and expects that the
restructuring actions will be completed by the end of fiscal 1997.

     In May 1994, the Company issued to institutional investors $25,000,000 of
9.82% unsecured Subordinated Notes due April 30, 2001 and warrants to purchase
383,333 shares of  the Company's common stock.  See Note 9. The terms of the
subordinated debt contain financial covenants which, among other things, require
the maintenance of certain financial ratios, limit the Company's ability to
incur additional debt and preclude the payment of dividends.

     In July 1996, the Company renewed its existing revolving credit facility of
$7,500,000, with borrowing availability equal to 80% of qualifying accounts
receivable.  In December 1996, the borrowing availability under this credit
facility was increased to $12,000,000.  Borrowings under this facility bear
interest at a designated prime  rate plus 1% per annum.  This credit facility
expires on August 31, 1997.  The Company's obligations under this credit
facility are secured by liens on substantially all of the Company's assets.
Additionally, this credit facility contains covenants which, among other things,
impose certain limitations or prohibitions on the Company with respect to
additional indebtedness, liens and capital leases; the payment of dividends on,
and the redemption or repurchase of, capital stock of the Company; investments
and acquisitions; the merger or consolidation of the Company with any person or
entity and the disposition of any of the Company's property or assets.  At
September 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under
this credit facility.

</TABLE>

     In assessing the realizability of deferred assets, management considers
whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which
those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the
scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income,
and other matters in making this assessment. As a result of its evaluation of
these factors, at September 30, 1996, management recorded a valuation reserve
for deferred tax assets of $25,639,000. The increase in 1996 was the result of
management's assessment that some portion of the benefits from the net operating
losses incurred and foreign taxes paid by the Company during the year may not be
realized in future periods.

     At September 30, 1996, the Company had operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $42,000,000, foreign tax credit carryforwards of approximately
$4,300,000, and research and experimentation credit carryforwards of
approximately $2,600,000, expiring between 1997 and 2011.  The current year net
operating loss includes amounts related to stock option exercises, the benefit
of which will be allocated to additional paid-in capital when

realized.  If certain substantial changes in the Company's ownership should
occur, there could be an annual limitation on the amount of carryforwards
available for utilization.

     A provision has not been made for U.S. or additional foreign taxes on
$13,000,000 of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that could be
subject to taxation if remitted to the U.S., because the Company plans to keep
these amounts permanently reinvested overseas.

Litigation
- ----------

     On May 20, 1996, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to settle
the shareholder class action litigation brought against the Company and certain
of its former officers. An order of Final Approval and Final Judgment and an
Order of Dismissal has been issued by the Federal District Court in
Massachusetts. The litigation, which was brought in August 1994, alleged
violations of federal securities law. Of the $5,750,000 settlement, the Company
contributed $2,750,000 from its own funds, with the remainder provided by
insurance. The Company recorded a charge of $3,250,000 in the second quarter of
fiscal 1996 to cover the settlement and other expenses incurred in connection
therewith.

     The Company is also subject to other legal proceedings and claims which
arise in the normal course of business. While the outcome of these matters
cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe the

Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, for an aggregate
purchase price of $22,500,000.  Each share of Series D Convertible Preferred
Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into 10 shares of
the Company's common stock, subject to adjustment in the event of certain
reorganizations or reclassifications of the Company's capital stock.  The
holders of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock are generally entitled to vote
on an as converted basis and are entitled to receive dividends at the same rate
as dividends are paid with respect to common stock.  If at any time after
September 30, 1998, for a period of not less than 30 consecutive trading days,
the market value of the Company's common stock exceeds $40 per share, the
Company may elect that all then outstanding shares of Series D Convertible
Preferred Stock be mandatorily converted into shares of common stock. Holders of
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to elect one Director of the
Company.  The Company has 2,250,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance
upon conversion of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.

     In July 1996, the Company issued and sold 100,000 shares of Series E
Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, for an aggregate price
of $9,500,000, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of  the
Company's common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000.  See Note
9(d).  Each share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at any
time at the option of the holder into 10 shares of the Company's common stock,
subject to adjustment in the event of certain reorganizations or
reclassifications of the Company's capital stock.  The holders of Series E
Convertible Preferred Stock are generally entitled to vote on an as converted
basis and they are entitled to receive dividends at the same rate as dividends
are paid with respect to common stock.  If at any time after July 23, 1999, for
a period of not less than 30 consecutive trading days, the market value of the
Company's common stock exceeds $40 per share, the Company may elect that all
then outstanding shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock be mandatorily

junior to the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Series E Convertible
Preferred Stock, the greater of (i) $100 per share plus an amount per share
equal to any dividends declared but unpaid thereon or (ii) such amounts per
share as would have been payable had each such share been converted to common
stock.

     (b)  Stock Option Plans
          ------------------

     The 1987 Stock Plan (the "1987 Plan") provides that the Board of Directors
may grant incentive options to key employees and non-qualified options and stock
awards to officers, employees, and consultants to purchase up to 1,750,000
shares of the Company's common stock. Incentive stock options must be granted at
not less than the fair market value of the common stock at the time of the
grant. Non-qualified options must be granted at not less than the lesser of the
book value per share of common stock as of the end of the fiscal year of the
Company immediately preceding the date of such grant or 50% of the fair market
value of the common stock at the time of the grant. The 1987 Plan expires on
December 31, 1996.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


     Under the 1987 Plan, an aggregate of 120,000 restricted stock grants to
various individuals were issued; 10,000 and 110,000 were issued in fiscal 1995
and fiscal 1994, respectively.  These grants become 50% vested in  4-1/2 years
and 100% vested in 5-1/2 years.  In fiscal 1996, 45,000 of the restricted stock
grants were canceled.

     In April 1991, the Board of Directors adopted the 1991 Non-Employee
Director Stock Option Plan (the "Directors Plan"). The Directors Plan, as
amended, provides for the issuance of options to purchase up to 210,000 shares
of common stock only to eligible members of the Company's Board of Directors who
are neither employees nor officers of the Company.

     In November 1994, the Board of Directors adopted the 1994 Stock Plan (the
"1994 Plan").  The 1994 Plan, as amended, provides that the Board of Directors
may grant incentive options to key employees and non-qualified options and stock
awards to officers, employees and consultants to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares
of the Company's common stock.  Incentive stock options must be granted at not
less than the fair market value of the common stock at the time of the grant.
Non-qualified options must be granted at not less than the lesser of the book
value per share of common stock as of the end of the fiscal year of the Company
immediately preceding the date of such grant or 50% of the fair market value of
the common stock at the time of the grant.  The 1994 Plan expires on September
30, 2004.

     Under the 1994 Plan, an aggregate of 6,000 and 30,000 restricted stock
grants were issued to various individuals in fiscal years 1996 and 1995,
respectively. These grants become 50% vested in 4-1/2 years and 100% vested in 
5- 1/2 years.

     During 1996 the Board of Directors authorized options to purchase 25,260
shares of the Company's common stock which were granted outside of the three
existing stock option plans.

</TABLE>

     At September 30, 1996, 623,254 options were exercisable under the plans,
and options for 1,463,796 shares were available for grant.

     (c)  Stock Purchase Plan
          -------------------

     The 1990 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("1990 Plan") permits each full-time
employee, excluding those owning 5% or more of the Company's stock, to purchase,
at 85% of fair market value, up to 500 shares of common stock for each six-month
period.  A total of 600,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance
under the 1990 Plan.  In fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994, 86,440, 100,638 and
99,002 shares were issued, respectively.

     (d)  Warrants
          --------
 
     Warrants issued in connection with the Subordinated Notes described in Note
6 were valued in May 1994 at $1,300,000 and were recorded as other assets (long-
term) and additional paid-in capital. The asset is being amortized over the term
of the subordinated debt. The warrants may be exercised any time between June
30, 1994 and April 30, 2001 at $8.92 per share, as adjusted from time to time.
The warrants issued in connection with the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock
were recorded as additional paid-in capital in the amount of $500,000. The
warrants may be exercised anytime between July 23, 1996 and July 23, 2003 at
$15.36 per share. No warrants have been exercised as of September 30, 1996.

     (e)  Stockholder Rights Plan
          -----------------------

     On December 3, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder
Rights Plan and declared a dividend of (i) one preferred stock purchase right (a
"Right") for each outstanding share of common stock, and (ii) for each
outstanding share of convertible preferred stock, a number of Rights equal to
the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of such
convertible preferred stock, to stockholders of record at the close of business
on December 16, 1996.  Each Right entitles holders to purchase one one-
thousandth of a share (a "Unit") of a new series of junior participating
preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share, at an exercise price of $60 per
Unit, subject to adjustment.  The Rights become exercisable for common stock
only under certain circumstances and in the event of particular events relating
to a change in control of the Company.  The Rights may

be redeemed by the Company under certain circumstances pursuant to the Plan.
The Rights expire on December 16, 2006 unless earlier redeemed or exchanged.
The Rights have certain anti-takeover effects, in that they would cause
substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire a significant
interest in the Company on terms not approved by the Board of Directors.

(13) ACQUISITIONS

Mapics Transaction
- ------------------

     On February 26, 1993, the Company entered into a series of transactions
(collectively, the "Mapics Transaction") relating to International Business
Machines Corporation's ("IBM") Manufacturing, Accounting, Production, and
Information Control System ("MAPICS") product line.  As part of the Mapics
Transaction, the Company acquired the exclusive worldwide marketing rights to
the MAPICS product line for 25 years.  In connection with the acquisition of
these rights, the Company issued 1,615,000 shares of its common stock to IBM and
agreed to pay certain royalties, and to make certain contingent payments in the
future, based upon specified end-user revenues related to the MAPICS product
line.  The Company also acquired the option to purchase the MAPICS product line
and certain related intellectual property rights.  The Mapics Transaction was
accounted for as an installment purchase of the MAPICS product line, in-process
research and development and certain other related intangible assets.  The value
of the common stock issued to IBM (valued by the Company at $14,940,000) plus
transaction costs and the present value of future estimated net payments to be
made by the Company upon exercise of its purchase option, was allocated, based
on an independent valuation report, as follows:

     At the acquisition date, the Company expensed the amount of the purchase
price allocated to in-process research and development and recorded the
intangible assets acquired. The $5,568,000 of expensed in-process research and
development had not reached technological feasibility and had no alternative
future uses at the acquisition date.

     In connection with the Mapics Transaction, IBM transferred certain assets
and liabilities related to the MAPICS product line to Mapics, Inc. ("Mapics"), a
Delaware corporation. IBM received 49% of the total voting power and certain
other non-voting securities of Mapics in exchange for such assets. Until
September 29, 1995 when Mapics was acquired by the Company, the Company recorded
a liability for its option to purchase the MAPICS software, which included the
purchase of any additional capitalized and purchased software developed or
acquired by Mapics subsequent to February 26, 1993. The exercise price for the
option was based upon, among other things (i) specified end-user revenues
generated by the Company, (ii) the liquidation preference of certain classes of
capital stock of Mapics, Inc. and (iii) an amount such that the net worth of
Mapics, Inc. was $1.00 (net of certain taxes) after all liquidation preferences
of all Mapics, Inc. preferred stock were paid in full. If the Company did not
exercise the option, the royalty rates payable by the Company to Mapics, Inc.
increased. The Company also provided management and consulting services to
Mapics for a management fee which was based, in part, on the operating results
of Mapics. The Company was obligated under the management agreement to advance
funds to Mapics on a secured basis if Mapics required funds for operations
beyond those it could provide from its own resources.

     Pursuant to the management agreement with Mapics, the Company (i) recorded
Mapics' customer license renewal revenues as related party revenues; (ii) paid
royalties to Mapics generally based on license and maintenance revenues relating
to the MAPICS product line; and (iii) received from Mapics management fees
based, in part, on the operating results of Mapics.  For financial reporting
purposes, the management fees were not recognized as revenue by the Company but
instead were treated as a reduction of the royalties the Company paid to Mapics.
The net royalties were recorded as product development expense to the extent
Mapics incurred such expenses, and the balance was recorded as cost of services
revenue.  The amounts recorded for fiscal 1995 and 1994 are as follows:

Acquisition of Mapics, Inc.
- ---------------------------

     On September 29, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Mapics, Inc.  This transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting; accordingly, the purchase price, which was immaterial, was allocated
to assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values as of the date of
acquisition.  Prior to this acquisition, the Company had been accounting for the
Mapics Transaction as an installment purchase of the MAPICS product line.  As
such, the Company had recorded MAPICS software and intangibles in its balance
sheet  which represented the MAPICS  software and intangibles acquired at
February 23, 1993, plus additional capitalized and purchased software developed
or acquired subsequent to February 23, 1993, as well as a MAPICS software
purchase obligation.  As part of the accounting for the acquisition of the
outstanding stock of Mapics, Inc., the MAPICS software ($11,204,000) and MAPICS
software  purchase obligation ($13,026,000) were eliminated.

(14) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Company has a number of marketing and product development relationships
with IBM. IBM has also purchased licenses for the Company's product for internal

equipment and software licenses from IBM.

     Under various agreements with the Company and its representatives, IBM
markets Marcam's products in cooperation with Marcam and its subsidiaries or
representatives in several countries.  In each case, Marcam or its
representative pays IBM a fee for marketing the Company's products when a sale
is made with IBM's assistance. The fee is calculated as a percentage of the
license fees received by Marcam and varies based on the agreement's specific
territories.  The Company paid IBM aggregate fees of $0, $547,000 and $1,800,000
in fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The Company's independent
representatives paid IBM additional fees.

     The Company also has an agreement with IBM in the United Kingdom under
which Marcam assists IBM in the marketing of IBM products, primarily the AS/400
series of computers and associated products. During fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994,
the Company received $87,000, $159,000 and $88,000, respectively, in such fees.

     IBM also markets and distributes some Marcam products on the Company's
behalf in certain geographies, including Europe, Latin America and Asia Pacific.
In fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994, IBM paid the Company an aggregate of
approximately $1,208,000, $8,041,000 and $11,350,000, respectively, relating to
sales of the Company's products.

     The Company also licenses products and provides services to IBM in the
ordinary course of business. During fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994, the
Company recognized an aggregate of approximately $409,000, $185,000 and
$3,500,000, respectively, from licensing products and providing services to IBM.
IBM also sells products and provides services, including distribution and
translation services, to the Company in the ordinary course of business.

     The Company's total revenues that were derived from transactions with IBM
were $1,704,000, $8,395,000 and $14,938,000 for fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

On September 29, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Mapics, Inc. In the acquisition, the Company (1) acquired from IBM all the
outstanding Class B Preferred Shares and Common Shares of Mapics for $1.00; (2)
acquired 4 Class A Preferred Shares and 4 Class C Preferred Shares of Mapics
from Richard C. Cook, the Vice President and General Manager of the Company's
MAPICS Business Group and the President of Mapics, in exchange for the surrender
by the Company to Mr. Cook of a promissory note made by Mr. Cook with a
principal amount of $58,823 and (3) acquired the remaining outstanding Class A
Preferred Shares and Class C Preferred Shares of Mapics from Edison Venture
Fund, L.P. for $1,508,122. As a result of the acquisition, the Company owned

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The following quarterly information is unaudited and, in the opinion of
management, includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the operating results for each quarter.
The length of the Company's sales cycle, which typically ranges from three to
twelve months, and the timing of major contracts are factors in the variability

                              MARCAM CORPORATION

                     AMENDED AND RESTATED 1987 STOCK PLAN


     1.  Purpose.  This 1987 Stock Plan (the "Plan") is intended to provide
         -------                                                           
incentives:  (a) to the officers and other employees of Marcam Corporation (the
"Company"), its parent (if any) and any present or future subsidiaries of the
Company (collectively, "Related Corporations") by providing them with
opportunities to purchase stock in the Company pursuant to options granted
hereunder which qualify as "incentive stock options" under Section 422A(b) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") ("ISO" or "ISOs"); (b) to
officers, employees and consultants of the Company and Related Corporations by
providing them with opportunities to purchase stock in the Company pursuant to
options granted hereunder which do not qualify as ISOs ("Non-Qualified Option"
or "Non-Qualified Options"); (c) to officers, employees and consultants of the
Company and Related Corporations by providing them with awards of stock in the
Company ("Awards"); and (d) to officers, employees and consultants of the
Company and Related Corporations by providing them with opportunities to make
direct purchases of stock in the Company ("Purchases").  Both ISOs and Non-
Qualified Options are referred to hereafter individually as an "Option" and
collectively as "Options".  Options, Awards and authorizations to make Purchases
are referred to hereafter collectively as "Stock Rights".  As used herein, the
terms "parent" and "subsidiary" mean "parent corporation" and "subsidiary
corporation", respectively, as those terms are defined in Section 425 of the
Code.

     2.  Administration of the Plan.
         -------------------------- 

     A.  The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company
   (the "Board") or by a committee appointed by the Board (the "Committee");
   provided, however, to the extent required by Rule 16b-3 (or any successor
   --------  -------
   rule to the same effect) of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Rule 
   16b-3") under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
   Act"), with respect to specific grants of Stock Rights, the Plan shall be
   administered by an administrator or administrators in compliance with Rule
   16b-3. Hereinafter all references in this Plan to the "Committee" shall mean
   the Board if no Committee has been appointed. Subject to ratification of the
   grant of each Stock Right by the Board (if so required by applicable state
   law), and subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall have the
   authority to (i) determine the employees of the Company and Related
   Corporations (from among the class of employees eligible under paragraph 3 to
   receive ISOs) to whom ISOs may be granted, and to determine the individuals
   and entities (from among the class of individuals and entities eligible under
   paragraph 3 to receive Non-Qualified Options) to whom Non-
<PAGE>
 
                                      -2-

   Qualified Options may be granted or by whom Purchases may be made; (ii)
   determine the time or times at which Options or Awards may be granted; (iii)
   determine the option price of shares subject to each Option, which price with
   respect to ISOs shall not be less than the minimum specified in paragraph 6,
   and the purchase price of shares subject to each Purchase; (iv) determine
   whether each Option granted shall be an ISO or a Non-Qualified Option; (v)
   determine (subject to paragraph 7) the time or times when each Option shall
   become exercisable and the duration of the exercise period; (vi) determine
   whether restrictions such as repurchase options are to be imposed on shares
   subject to Options, Awards and Purchases and the nature of such restrictions
   if any; and (vii) interpret the Plan and prescribe and rescind rules and
   regulations relating to it. If the Committee determines to issue a Non-
   Qualified Option, it shall take whatever actions it deems necessary, under
   Section 422A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, to
   ensure that such Option is not treated as an ISO. The interpretation and
   construction by the Committee of any provisions of the Plan or of any Stock
   Right granted under it shall be final unless otherwise determined by the
   Board. The Committee may from time to time adopt such rules and regulations
   for carrying out the Plan as it may deem best. No member of the Board or the
   Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith
   with respect to the Plan or any Stock Right granted under it.

     B.  The Committee may select one of its members as its chairman, and shall
   hold meetings at such time and places as it may determine. Acts by a majority
   of the Committee, or acts reduced to or approved in writing by a majority of
   the members of the Committee, shall be the valid acts of the Committee. All
   references in this Plan to the Committee shall mean the Board if no Committee
   has been appointed. From time to time the Board may increase the size of the
   Committee and appoint additional members thereof, remove members (with or
   without cause) and appoint new members in substitution therefor, fill
   vacancies however caused, or remove all members of the Committee and
   thereafter directly administer the Plan.

     3.  Eligible Employees and Others.  ISOs may be granted to any employee of
         -----------------------------                                         
the Company or any Related Corporation.  Those officers of the Company who are
not employees may not be granted ISOs under the Plan.  Non-Qualified Options,
Awards and authorizations to make Purchases may be granted to any officer,
employee or consultant of the Company or any Related Corporation.  Those
directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company shall not be
eligible to receive Stock Rights under this Plan.  The Committee may take into
consideration a recipient's individual circumstances in determining whether to
grant an ISO, a Non-Qualified Option or an authorization to make a Purchase.
Granting of any Stock Right to any individual or entity shall neither entitle
that individual or entity to, nor disqualify him from, participation in any
other grant of Stock Rights.

     4.  Stock.  The stock subject to Options, Awards and Purchases shall be
         -----                                                              
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $.01
per 
<PAGE>
 
                                      -3-

share (the "Common Stock"), or shares of Common Stock reacquired by the Company
in any manner. The aggregate number of shares which may be issued pursuant to
the Plan is 1,750,000 subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph 13. Any
such shares may be issued as ISOs, Non-Qualified Options or Awards, or to
persons or entities making Purchases, so long as the number of shares so issued
does not exceed such number, as adjusted. If any Option granted under the Plan
shall expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full
or shall cease for any reason to be exercisable in whole or in part, or if the
Company shall reacquire any unvested shares issued pursuant to Awards or
Purchases, the unpurchased shares subject to such Options and any unvested
shares so reacquired by the Company shall again be available for grants of Stock
Rights under the Plan.

     5.  Granting of Stock Rights.  Stock Rights may be granted under the Plan
         ------------------------                                             
at any time on and after July 31, 1987 and prior to December 31, 1996.  The date
of grant of a Stock Right under the Plan will be the date specified by the
Committee at the time it grants the Stock Right; provided, however, that such
date shall not be prior to the date on which the Committee acts to approve the
grant.  The Committee shall have the right, with the consent of the optionee, to
convert an ISO granted under the Plan to a Non-Qualified Option pursuant to
paragraph 16.

     6.  Minimum Option Price; ISO Limitations.
         ------------------------------------- 

     A.  The price per share specified in the agreement relating to each ISO
   granted under the Plan shall not be less than the fair market value per share
   of Common Stock on the date of such grant.  In the case of an ISO to be
   granted to an employee owning stock possessing more than ten percent of the
   total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any
   Related Corporation, the price per share specified in the agreement relating
   to such ISO shall not be less than 110 percent of the fair market value per
   or share of Common Stock on the date of grant.

     B.  Each eligible employee may be granted ISOs only to the extent that, in
   the aggregate under this Plan and all incentive stock option plans of the
   Company and any Related Corporation, such ISOs do not become exercisable for
   the first time by such employee during any calendar year in a manner which
   would entitle the employee to purchase more than $100,000 in fair market
   value (determined at the time the ISOs were granted) of Common Stock in that
   year.  Any options granted to an employee in excess of such amount will be
   granted as Non-Qualified Options.

     C.  If, at the time an Option is granted under the Plan, the Company's
   Common Stock is publicly traded, "fair market value" shall be determined as
   of the last business day for which the prices or quotes discussed in this
   sentence are available prior to the date such Option is granted and shall
   mean (i) the average (on that date) of the high and low prices of the Common
   Stock on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock
   is traded, if the Common Stock is then traded 
<PAGE>
 
                                      -4-

   on a national securities exchange; or (ii) the last reported sale price (on
   that date) of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ National Market List, if the
   Common Stock is not then traded on a national securities exchange; or (iii)
   the closing bid price (or average of bid prices) last quoted (on that date)
   by an established quotation service for over-the-counter securities, if the
   Common Stock is not reported on the NASDAQ National Market List. However, if
   the Common Stock is not publicly traded at the time an Option is granted
   under the Plan, "fair market value" shall be deemed to be the fair value of
   the Common Stock as determined by the Committee after taking into
   consideration all factors which it deems appropriate, including, without
   limitation, recent sale and offer prices of the Common Stock in private
   transactions negotiated at arm's length.

     7.  Option Duration.  Subject to earlier termination as provided in
         ---------------                                                
paragraphs 9 and 10, each Option shall expire on the date specified by the
Committee, but not more than (i) ten years and one day from the date of grant in
the case of Non-Qualified Options, (ii) ten years from the date of grant in the
case of ISOs generally, and (iii) five years from the date of grant in the case
of ISOs granted to an employee owning stock possessing more than ten percent of
the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any
Related Corporation.  Subject to earlier termination as provided in paragraphs 9
and 10, the term of each ISO shall be the term set forth in the original
instrument granting such ISO, except with respect to any part of such ISO that
is converted into a Non-Qualified Option pursuant to paragraph 16.

     8.  Exercise of Option.  Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 9 through
         ------------------                                                    
12, each Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable as follows:

     A.  The Option shall either be fully exercisable on the date of grant or
   shall become exercisable thereafter in such installments as the Committee may
   specify.

     B.  Once an installment becomes exercisable it shall remain exercisable
   until expiration or termination of the Option, unless otherwise specified by
   the Committee.

     C.  Each Option or installment may be exercised at any time or from time to
   time, in whole or in part, for up to the total number of shares with respect
   to which it is then exercisable.

     D.  The Committee shall have the right to accelerate the date of exercise
   of any installment of any Option; provided that the Committee shall not,
   without the consent of an employee, accelerate the exercise date of any
   installment of any Option granted to the employee as an ISO (and not
   previously converted into a Non-Qualified Option pursuant to paragraph 16) if
   such acceleration would violate the annual vesting limitation contained in
   Section 422A(d) of the Code, as described in paragraph 6(B).
<PAGE>
 
                                      -5-

     E.  In the event of a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) of the
   Company, the date on which all outstanding Stock Rights and all installments
   of such Stock Rights may be exercised shall be accelerated to immediately
   prior to the time of the Change in Control.

     F.  For purposes of this Plan and any Stock Rights granted hereunder, a
   "Change in Control" shall have occurred if at any time any of the following
   events shall occur:

               (i)    The Company is merged, consolidated or reorganized into or
       with another corporation or other legal person, and as a result of such
       merger, consolidation or reorganization less than a majority of the
       combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of the combined
       corporation or person immediately after such transaction are held in the
       aggregate by the holders of the combined voting power of the then-
       outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of
       directors of the Company ("Voting Stock") immediately prior to such
       transaction;

               (ii)   The Company sells or otherwise transfers all or
       substantially all of its assets to any other corporation or other legal
       person, and less than a majority of the combined voting power of the
       then-outstanding securities of such corporation or person immediately
       after such sale or transfer is held in the aggregate by the holders of
       the Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to such sale or
       transfer;

               (iii)  There is a report filed on Schedule 13D or Schedule 14D-1
       (or any successor schedule, form or report), each as promulgated pursuant
       to the 1934 Act, disclosing that any person (as the term "person" is used
       in Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) or the 1934 Act) has become the
       beneficial owner (as the term "beneficial owner" is defined under Rule
       13d-3 or any successor rule or regulation promulgated under the 1934 Act)
       of securities representing 25% or more of the Voting Stock;

               (iv)   The Company files a report or proxy statement with the
       Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the 1934 Act disclosing in
       response to Form 8-K or Schedule 14A (or any successor schedule, form or
       report or item therein) that a change in control of the Company has or
       may have occurred or will or may occur in the future pursuant to any
       then-existing contract or transaction; or

               (v)    If during any period of two consecutive years, individuals
       who at the beginning of any such period constitute the directors of the
       Company cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof,
       unless the election, or the nomination for election by the Company's
       stockholders, of each director of the Company first elected during such
       period was approved by a 
<PAGE>
 
                                      -6-

       vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who
       were directors of the Company at the beginning of any such period;

   provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
   -----------------                                                       
   subparagraph F, a "Change in Control" shall not be deemed to have occurred
   for purposes of this Plan solely because (i) the Company, (ii) an entity in
   which the Company directly or indirectly beneficially owns 50% or more of the
   voting securities, (iii) any Company-sponsored employee stock ownership plan
   any other employee benefit plan of the Company, or (iv) any corporation or
   legal person approved by the Board prior to the occurrence of the event that,
   absent such approval by the Board, would have constituted a Change in
   Control, either files or becomes obligated to file a report or a proxy
   statement under or in response to Schedule 13D, Schedule 14D-1, Form 8-K or
   Schedule 14A (or any successor schedule, form or report or item therein)
   under the 1934 Act, disclosing beneficial ownership by it of shares of Voting
   Stock, whether in excess of 25% or otherwise, or because the Company reports
   that a change in control of the Company has or may have occurred or will or
   may occur in the future by reason of such beneficial ownership.

     9.  Termination of Employment.  If an ISO optionee ceases to be employed by
         -------------------------                                              
the Company and all Related Corporations other than by reason of death or
disability as defined in paragraph 10, no further installments of his ISOs shall
become exercisable, and his ISOs shall terminate after the passage of 60 days
from the date of termination of his employment, but in no event later than on
their specified expiration dates, except to the extent that such ISOs (or
unexercised installments thereof) have been converted into Non-Qualified Options
pursuant to paragraph 16.  Employment shall be considered as continuing
uninterrupted during any bona fide leave of absence (such as those attributable
to illness, military obligations or governmental service) provided that the
period of such leave does not exceed 90 days or, if longer, any period during
which such optionee's right to reemployment is guaranteed by statute.  A bona
fide leave of absence with the written approval of the Committee shall not be
considered an interruption of employment under the Plan, provided that such
written approval contractually obligates the Company or any Related Corporation
to continue the employment of the optionee after the approved period of absence.
ISOs granted under the Plan shall not be affected by any change of employment
within or among the Company and Related Corporations, so long as the optionee
continues to be an employee of the Company or any Related Corporation.  Nothing
in the Plan shall be deemed to give any grantee of any Stock Right the right to
be retained in employment or other service by the Company or any Related
Corporation for any period of time.

     10. Death; Disability.
         ----------------- 

     A.  If an ISO optionee ceases to be employed by the Company and all Related
   Corporations by reason of his death, any ISO of his may be exercised, to the
   extent of the number of shares with respect to which he could have exercised
   it on the date 
<PAGE>
 
                                      -7-

   of his death, by his estate, personal representative or beneficiary who has
   acquired the ISO by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, at any
   time prior to the earlier of the ISO's specified expiration date or 180 days
   from the date of the optionee's death.

     B.  If an ISO optionee ceases to be employed by the Company and all Related
   Corporations by reason of his disability, he shall have the right to exercise
   any ISO held by him on the date of termination of employment, to the extent
   of the number of shares with respect to which he could have exercised it on
   that date, at any time prior to the earlier of the ISO's specified expiration
   date or 180 days from the date of the termination of the optionee's
   employment.  For the purposes of the Plan, the term "disability" shall mean
   "permanent and total disability" as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code
   or successor statute.

     11. Assignability.  No Stock Right shall be assignable or transferable by
         -------------                                                        
the optionee except by will or by the laws of descent or distribution or, with
respect to Non-Qualified Options, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations
order as defined in the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act, or the rules thereunder.  During the lifetime of the optionee each
Stock Right shall be exercisable only by him.

     12. Terms and Conditions of Options.  Options shall be evidenced by
         -------------------------------                                
instruments (which need not be identical) in such forms as the Committee may
from time to time approve.  Such instruments shall conform to the terms and
conditions set forth in paragraphs 6 through 11 hereof and may contain such
other provisions as the Committee deems advisable which are not inconsistent
with the Plan, including restrictions applicable to shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of Options.  In granting any Non-Qualified Option, the
Committee may specify that such Non-Qualified Option shall be subject to the
restrictions set forth herein with respect to ISOs, or to such other termination
and cancellation provisions as the Committee may determine.  The Committee may
from time to time confer authority and responsibility on one or more of its own
members and/or one or more officers of the Company to execute and deliver such
instruments.  The proper officers of the Company are authorized and directed to
take any and all action necessary or advisable from time to time to carry out
the terms of such instruments.

     13. Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, any
         -----------                                                          
Stock Right granted to a holder hereunder shall be adjusted as hereinafter
provided, unless otherwise specifically provided in the written agreement
between such holder and the Company relating to such Stock Rights:

     A.  If the shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or combined into a
   greater or smaller number of shares or if the Company shall issue any shares
   of Common Stock as a stock dividend on its outstanding Common Stock, the
   number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of a Stock
   Right shall be appropriately increased or decreased proportionately, and
   appropriate adjustments 
<PAGE>
 
                                      -8-

   shall be made in the purchase price per share to reflect such subdivision,
   combination or stock dividend.

     B.  In the event of a Change in Control  of the Company and subject to
   Section 8(E) hereof, the Committee shall, as to all outstanding Stock Rights,
   either (i) make appropriate provision for the continuation of such Stock
   Rights by substituting on an equitable basis for the shares then subject to
   such Stock Rights the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding
   shares of Common Stock in connection with the Change in Control, (ii) upon
   written notice to the holders of such Stock Rights, provide that all Stock
   Rights must be exercised within a specified number of days (which shall not
   be less than 30 days) of the date of such notice, at the end of which period
   the Stock Rights shall terminate, or (iii) terminate all Stock Rights in
   exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess of the fair market value of
   the shares subject to such Stock Rights over the exercise price thereof.

     C.  If the Company is merged, consolidated or reorganized into or with
   another corporation or other legal person, or if the Company sells or
   otherwise transfers all or substantially all of its assets to any other
   corporation or other legal person, pursuant to which securities of the
   Company or of another corporation, cash or other property are issued with
   respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and such transaction does
   not constitute a Change in Control, a holder of a Stock Right upon exercising
   a Stock Right shall be entitled to receive for the purchase price paid upon
   such exercise the securities, cash or other property he would have received
   if he had exercised his Stock Right prior to such merger, consolidation,
   reorganization or sale.

     D.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to
   subparagraphs A, B or C with respect to ISOs shall be made only after the
   Committee, after consulting with counsel for the Company, determines whether
   such adjustments would constitute a "modification" of such ISOs (as that term
   is defined in Section 424 of the Code) or would cause any adverse tax
   consequences for the holders of such ISOs.  If the Committee determines that
   such adjustments made with respect to an ISO would constitute a modification
   of such ISO, it shall refrain from making such adjustments without the
   consent of the holder of such ISO.

     E.  In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company,
   each Stock Right will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such
   proposed action or at such other time and subject to such other conditions as
   shall be determined by the Committee.

     F.  Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of
   shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock
   of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made
   with respect to, the number or price of shares subject to Stock Rights.  No
   adjustments shall be made for dividends paid in cash or in property other
   than securities of the Company.
<PAGE>
 
                                      -9-

     G.  No fractional shares shall be issued under the Plan and the optionee
   shall receive from the Company cash in lieu of such fractional shares.

     H.  Upon the happening of any of the foregoing events described in
   subparagraphs A, B or C above, the class and aggregate number of shares set
   forth in paragraph 4 hereof that are subject to Stock Rights which previously
   have been or subsequently may be granted under the Plan shall also be
   appropriately adjusted to reflect the events described in such subparagraphs.
   The Committee shall determine the specific adjustments to be made under this
   paragraph 13 and, subject to paragraph 2, its determination shall be
   conclusive.

     I.  If any person or entity owning restricted Common Stock obtained by
   exercise of a Stock Right made hereunder receives shares, securities or cash
   in connection with a corporate transaction described in subparagraphs A, B or
   C above as a result of owning such restricted Common Stock, such shares,
   securities or cash shall be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions
   applicable to the restricted Common Stock with respect to which such shares
   or securities or cash were issued, unless otherwise determined by the
   Committee.

   14.   Means of Exercising Stock Rights.  A Stock Right (or any part or
         --------------------------------                                
installment thereof) shall be exercised by giving written notice to the Company
at its principal office address.  Such notice shall identify the Stock Right
being exercised and specify the number of shares as to which such Stock Right is
being exercised, accompanied by full payment of the purchase price therefor
either (a) in United States dollars in cash or by check, or (b) at the
discretion of the Committee, through delivery of shares of Common Stock having a
fair market value equal as of the date of the exercise to the cash exercise
price of the Stock Right, or (c) at the discretion of the Committee, by delivery
of the grantee's personal recourse note bearing interest payable not less than
annually at no less than 100% of the lowest applicable Federal rate, as defined
in Section 1274(d) of the Code, or (d) at the discretion of the Committee, by
any combination of (a), (b) and (c) above.  If the Committee exercises its
discretion to permit payment of the exercise price of an ISO by means of the
methods set forth in clauses (b), (c), or (d) of the preceding sentence, such
discretion shall be exercised in writing at the time of the grant of the ISO in
question.  The holder of a Stock Right shall not have the rights of a
shareholder with respect to the shares covered by his Stock Right until the date
of issuance of a stock certificate to him for such shares.  Except as expressly
provided above in paragraph 13 with respect to changes in capitalization and
stock dividends, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or similar rights for
which the record date is before the date such stock certificate is issued.

   15.   Term and Amendment of Plan.  This Plan was adopted by the Board on
         --------------------------                                        
July 31, 1987 and by the stockholders of the Company on March 29, 1988.  The
Plan shall expire on December 31, 1996 (except as to Options outstanding on that
date).  Subject to the provisions of paragraph 5 above, Stock Rights may be
granted under the Plan prior to 
<PAGE>
 
                                      -10-

the date of stockholder approval of the Plan. The Board may terminate or amend
the Plan in any respect at any time, except that, without the approval of the
stockholders obtained within 12 months before or after the Board adopts a
resolution authorizing any of the following actions: (a) the total number of
shares that may be issued under the Plan may not be increased (except by
adjustment pursuant to paragraph 13); (b) the provisions of paragraph 3
regarding eligibility for grants of ISOs may not be modified; (c) the provisions
of paragraph 6(B) regarding the exercise price at which shares may be offered
pursuant to ISOs may not be modified (except by adjustment pursuant to paragraph
13); (d) the expiration date of the Plan may not be extended; and (e) the Plan
may not be amended in any manner which causes Rule 16b-3 under the 1934 Act to
become inapplicable to the Plan. Except as provided in the fourth sentence of
this paragraph 15, in no event may action of the Board or Stockholders alter or
impair the rights of a grantee, without his consent, under any Stock Right
previously granted to him.

     16. Conversion of ISOs into Non-Qualified Options; Termination of ISOs.
         ------------------------------------------------------------------  
The Committee, at the written request of any optionee, may in its discretion
take such actions as may be necessary to convert such optionee's ISOs (or any
installments or portions of installments thereof) that have not been exercised
on the date of conversion into Non-Qualified Options at any time prior to the
expiration of such ISOs, regardless of whether the optionee is an employee of
the Company or a Related Corporation at the time of such conversion.  Such
actions may include, but not be limited to, extending the exercise period or
reducing the exercise price of the appropriate installments of such Options.  At
the time of such conversion, the Committee (with the consent of the optionee)
may impose such conditions on the exercise of the resulting Non-Qualified
Options as the Committee in its discretion may determine, provided that such
conditions shall not be inconsistent with this Plan.  Nothing in the Plan shall
be deemed to give any optionee the right to have such optionee's ISOs converted
into Non-Qualified Options, and no such conversion shall occur until and unless
the Committee takes appropriate action.  The Committee, with the consent of the
optionee, may also terminate any portion of any ISO that has not been exercised
at the time of such termination.

     17. Application of Funds.  The proceeds received by the Company from the
         --------------------                                                
sale of shares pursuant to Options granted and Purchases authorized under the
Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes.

     18. Governmental Regulation.  The Company's obligation to sell and deliver
         -----------------------                                               
shares of the Common Stock under this Plan is subject to the approval of any -
governmental authority required in connection with the authorization, issuance
or sale of such shares.

     19. Withholding of Additional Income Taxes.  Upon the exercise of a Non-
         --------------------------------------                             
Qualified Option, the grant of an Award, the making of a Purchase of Common
Stock for less than its fair market value, the making of a Disqualifying
Disposition (as defined in paragraph 20) or the vesting of restricted Common
Stock acquired on the exercise of a Stock Right hereunder, the Company, in
accordance with Section 3402(a) of the Code, 
<PAGE>
 
                                      -11-

may require the optionee, Award recipient or purchaser to pay additional
withholding taxes in respect of the amount that is considered compensation
includible in such person's gross income. The Committee in its discretion may
condition (i) the exercise of an Option, (ii) the grant of an Award, (iii) the
making of a Purchase of Common Stock for less than its fair market value, or
(iv) the vesting of restricted Common Stock acquired by exercising a Stock Right
on the grantee's payment of such additional withholding taxes.

     20. Notice to Company of Disqualifying Disposition.  Each employee who
         ----------------------------------------------                    
receives an ISO must agree to notify the Company in writing immediately after
the employee makes a Disqualifying Disposition of any Common Stock acquired
pursuant to the exercise of an ISO.  A Disqualifying Disposition is any
disposition (including any sale) of such Common Stock before the later of (a)
two years after the date the employee was granted the ISO or (b) one year after
the date the employee acquired Common Stock by exercising the ISO.  If the
employee has died before such stock is sold, these holding period requirements
do not apply and no Disqualifying Disposition can occur thereafter.

     21. Governing Law; Construction.  The validity and construction of the
         ---------------------------                                       
Plan and the instruments evidencing Stock Rights shall be governed by the laws
of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  In construing this Plan, the singular
shall include the plural and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and
neuter, unless the context otherwise requires.

Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (hereinafter, this "Plan") is intended
to promote the interests of Marcam Corporation (hereinafter, the "Company") by
providing an inducement to obtain and retain the services of qualified persons
who are neither employees nor officers of the Company to serve as members of its
Board of Directors (the "Board").

     2.  Available Shares.  The total number of shares of Common Stock, par
         ----------------                                                  
value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock"), for which options may
be granted under this Plan shall not exceed two hundred ten thousand (210,000)
shares, subject to adjustment in accordance with paragraph 10 of this Plan.
Shares subject to this Plan are authorized but unissued shares or shares that
were once issued and subsequently reacquired by the Company.  If any options
granted under this Plan are surrendered before exercise or lapse without
exercise, in whole or in part, the shares reserved therefor shall continue to be
available under this Plan.

     3.  Administration.  This Plan shall be administered by the Board or by a
         --------------                                                       
committee appointed by the Board (the "Committee").  In the event the Board
fails to appoint or refrains from appointing a Committee, the Board shall have
all power and authority to administer this Plan.  In such event, the word
"Committee" wherever used herein shall be deemed to mean the Board.  The
Committee shall, subject to the provisions of the Plan, have the power to
construe this Plan, to determine all questions hereunder, and to adopt and amend
such rules and regulations for the administration of this Plan as it may deem
desirable.  No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any
action or determination made in good faith with respect to this Plan or any
option granted under it.

     4.  Automatic Grant of Options.  Subject to the availability of shares
         --------------------------                                        
under this Plan, (a) as of the date that a person either (i) is first elected to
the board and is neither an employee nor an officer of the Company at such time,
or (ii) while continuing to serve on the board, ceases to serve as an employee
or officer of the Company, such person shall be automatically granted on such
date, without further action by the Board, an option to purchase twenty thousand
(20,000) shares of the Common Stock; provided, however, that no such option
                                     --------  -------

Board, an option to purchase three thousand (3,000) shares of the Common Stock;
provided, however, that no such option shall be granted if prohibited pursuant

<PAGE>
 
                                      -2-


existing at the time of grant or thereafter, between the Company and any member
of the Board of Directors or any affiliate of such member. The options to be
granted under this paragraph 4 shall be the only options ever to be granted at
any time to such member under this Plan. Anything in this Plan to the contrary
notwithstanding, the effectiveness of this Plan and of the grant of all options
hereunder is in all respects subject to, and this Plan and options granted under
it shall be of no force and effect unless and until, the approval of this Plan
by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Common
Stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at a meeting of
stockholders at which this Plan is presented for approval. In the event that
such approval as aforesaid has not been received on or before April 30, 1992,
this Plan and any options granted hereunder shall be null and void, and upon the
occurrence of such approval as aforesaid, this Plan and such options shall
become effective as of the date of grant thereof.

     Except for the specific options referred to above, no other options shall
be granted under this Plan.

     5.  Option Price.  The purchase price of the stock covered by an option
         ------------

shares on the day the option is granted.  The option price will be subject to
adjustment in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 10 of this Plan.  For

Common Stock on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common
Stock is traded, if the Common Stock is then traded on a national securities
exchange; or (ii) the last reported sale price (on that date) of the Common
Stock on the NASDAQ National Market List, if the Common Stock is not then traded
on a national securities exchange; or (iii) the closing bid price (or average of
bid prices) last quoted (on that date) by an established quotation service for
over-the-counter securities, if the Common Stock is not reported on the NASDAQ
National Market List.

         ----------------                                                  
provisions of paragraph 8 of this Plan, an option granted hereunder shall expire
on the date which is ten (10) years after the date of grant of the option.

     7.  Vesting of Shares and Non-Transferability of Options.
         -----------------------------------------------------

         (a) Vesting. Options granted under this Plan shall not become 
             -------

       in Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) or the 1934 Act) has become the

       report or item therein) that a change in control of the Company has or
       may have occurred or will or may occur in the future pursuant to any
       then-existing contract or transaction; or

               (v)    If during any period of two consecutive years, individuals
       who at the beginning of any such period constitute the directors of the

       stockholders, of each director of the Company first elected during such
       period was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors
       then still in office who were directors of the Company at the beginning
       of any such period;

   provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this

   subparagraph (c), a "Change in Control" shall not be deemed to have occurred

   which the Company directly or indirectly beneficially owns 50% or more of the
   voting securities, (iii) any Company-sponsored employee stock ownership plan
   or any other employee benefit plan of the Company, or (iv) any corporation or

   Stock, whether in excess of 25% or otherwise, or because the Company reports
   that a change in control of the Company has or may have occurred or will or
   may occur in the future by reason of such beneficial ownership.

          ---------------------------- 

          (a) In the event an optionee ceases to be a member of the Board for
any reason other than death, permanent disability or retirement, any then
unexercised portion of options granted to such optionee shall, to the extent not
then vested, immediately terminate and become void; any portion of an option
which is then vested but has not been exercised at the time the optionee so
ceases to be a member of the Board may be exercised, to the extent it is then
vested, by the optionee within 90 days of the date the optionee ceased to be a
member of the Board; and all options shall terminate after such 90 days have
expired.

          (b) In the event an optionee ceases to be a member of the Board by
reason of retirement from the Board, all vested installments of such optionee's
options shall terminate on their respective expiration dates pursuant to
paragraph 6 of this Plan.  All installments of such optionee's options not
vested as of the effective date of the optionee's retirement shall continue to
vest in accordance with paragraph 7 and thereafter shall terminate on their
respective expiration dates in accordance with paragraph 6.

          (c) In the event that an optionee ceases to be a member of the Board

or persons exercising the option (subject to such restrictions and guidelines as
the Board may adopt from time to time), valued at fair market value determined
in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 5; provided, however, that there
                                                  --------  -------            
shall be no such exercise at any one time as to fewer than one hundred (100)
shares or all of the remaining shares then purchasable by the person or persons
<PAGE>
 
                                      -6-

exercising the option, if fewer than one hundred (100) shares.  The Company's
transfer agent shall, on behalf of the Company, prepare a certificate or
certificates representing such shares acquired pursuant to exercise of the
option, shall register the optionee as the owner of such shares on the books of
the Company and shall cause the fully executed certificate(s) representing such
shares to be delivered to the optionee as soon as practicable after payment of
the option price in full.  The holder of an option shall not have any rights of
a stockholder with respect to the shares covered by the option, except to the
extent that one or more certificates for such shares shall be delivered to him
or her upon the due exercise of the option.

     10.  Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization and Other Matters.  Upon
          ------------------------------------------------------------       
the occurrence of any of the following events, an optionee's rights with respect
to options granted to him or her hereunder shall be adjusted as hereinafter
provided:

          (a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits.  If the shares of Common Stock
              --------------------------------                                
   shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or
   if the Company shall issue any shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend on
   its outstanding Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock
   deliverable upon the exercise of options shall be appropriately increased or
   decreased proportionately, and appropriate adjustments shall be made in the
   purchase price per share to reflect such subdivision, combination or stock
   dividend.

          (b) Consolidations or Mergers.  In the event of a Change in Control
              -------------------------                                      
   of the Company, each option granted under this Plan which is outstanding but
   unvested as of the effective date of the Change in Control shall become
   exercisable pursuant to Section 7(b) hereof.  In addition, the Committee
   shall make appropriate provision (to the extent permitted by Rule 16b-3 of
   the 1934 Act) in order to preserve but not exceed the value of outstanding
   options, for the continuation of all outstanding options by substituting on
   an equitable basis for the shares then subject to such options the
   consideration payable with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock
   in connection with the Change in Control.

          (c) Recapitalization or Reorganization.  If the Company is merged,
              ----------------------------------                            
   consolidated or reorganized into or with another corporation or other legal
   person, or if the Company sells or otherwise transfers all or substantially
   all of its assets to any other corporation or other legal person, pursuant to
   which securities of the Company or of another corporation, cash or other
   property are issued with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
   and such transaction does not constitute a Change in Control, a holder of an
   option upon exercising an option shall be entitled to receive for the
   purchase price paid upon such exercise the securities, cash or other property
   he would have received if he had exercised his option prior to such merger,
   consolidation, reorganization or sale.

          (d) Issuances of Securities.  Except as expressly provided herein, no
              -----------------------                                          
   issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
   convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no
   adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or
   price of shares subject to options.  No adjustments shall be made for
   dividends paid in cash or in property other than securities of the Company.
<PAGE>
 
                                      -7-

          (e) Adjustments.  Upon the happening of any of the foregoing events,
              -----------                                                     
   the class and aggregate number of shares set forth in paragraphs 2, 4 and 7
   of this Plan that are subject to options which previously have been or
   subsequently may be granted under this Plan shall also be appropriately
   adjusted to reflect such events.  The Board shall determine the specific
   adjustments to be made under this paragraph 10 and its determination shall be
   conclusive.

     11.  Restrictions on Issuance of Shares.  Notwithstanding the provisions of
          ----------------------------------                                    
paragraphs 4 and 9 of this Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver
any certificate or certificates upon exercise of an option until one of the
following conditions shall be satisfied:

          (i)   The shares with respect to which the option has been exercised
   are at the time of the issue of such shares effectively registered under
   applicable Federal and state securities laws as now in force or hereafter
   amended; or

          (ii)  Counsel for the Company shall have given an opinion that such
   shares are exempt from registration under Federal and state securities laws
   as now in force or hereafter amended; and the Company has complied with all
   applicable laws and regulations with respect thereto, including without
   limitation all regulations required by any stock exchange upon which the
   Company's outstanding Common Stock is then listed.

     12.  Representation of Optionee.  If requested by the Company, the optionee
          --------------------------                                            
shall deliver to the Company written representations and warranties upon
exercise of the option that are necessary to show compliance with Federal and
state securities laws, including to the effect that a purchase of shares under
the option is made for investment and not with a view to their distribution (as
that term is used in the Securities Act of 1933).

     13.  Option Agreement.  Each option granted under the provisions of this
          ----------------                                                   
Plan shall be evidenced by an option agreement in such form as may be approved
by the Board, which agreement shall be duly executed and delivered on behalf of
the Company and by the optionee to whom such option is granted.  The option
agreement shall contain such terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent
with this Plan as may be determined by the Board.

     14.  Termination and Amendment of Plan.  Options may no longer be granted
          ---------------------------------                                   
under this Plan after April 29, 2001, and this Plan shall terminate when all
options granted or to be granted hereunder are no longer outstanding.  The Board
may at any time terminate this Plan or make such modification or amendment
thereof as it deems advisable; provided, however, that the Board may not,
                               --------  -------                         
without approval by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the
meeting, (a) increase the maximum number of shares for which options may be
granted under this Plan or the number of shares for which an option may be
granted to any participating director hereunder, (b) change the provisions of
this Plan regarding the termination of the options or the times when they may be
exercised, (c) change the period during which any options may be granted or
remain outstanding or the date on which this Plan shall terminate, (d) change
the designation of the class of persons 
<PAGE>
 
                                      -8-

eligible to receive options, or otherwise change paragraph 4, (e) materially
increase benefits accruing to option holders under this Plan, or (f) amend this
Plan in any manner which would cause Rule 16b-3 to become inapplicable to this
Plan; and provided further that the provisions of this Plan specified in Rule
          -------- -------     
16b-3(c)(2)(ii)(A) may not be amended more than once every six months, other
than to comport with changes in the Internal Revenue Code, the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules thereunder. Termination or any
modification or amendment of this Plan shall not, without consent of a
participant, affect his or her rights under an option previously granted to him
or her.

     15.  Governing Law.  The validity and construction of this Plan and the
          -------------                                                     
instruments evidencing options shall be governed by the laws of The Commonwealth
of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law
thereof.

     THIS AMENDMENT ("Amendment") is entered into as of the above date between
GREYROCK BUSINESS CREDIT, a Division of NationsCredit Commercial Corporation
(formerly Greyrock Capital Group Inc.) ("GBC"), whose address is 10880 Wilshire
Blvd. Suite 950, Los Angeles, CA 90024 and the borrower named above ("Borrower")
with respect to the Loan and Security Agreement between GBC and Borrower, dated

Borrower, and all other written documents and agreements between GBC and the

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment, shall have the
meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.)

     The parties agree to amend the Loan Agreement as follows, effective on the
date hereof:


     1.   Copyright Registration  Section 7.1 of the Schedule to the Loan
Agreement, which presently reads as follows:

     "7.1 Copyright Registrations. Within 30 days after the date hereof,
     Borrower shall cause appropriate copyright registrations to be filed with
     the United States Copyright Office with respect to its Prism software and
     its rights as licensee to Mapics software, and shall cause Mapics, Inc. to
     cause appropriate copyright registrations to be filed with the United
     States Copyright Office with respect to its Mapics software, and Borrower
     shall provide copies thereof to GBC together with a Security Agreement in
     Copyrighted Works (in such form as GBC shall specify) with respect thereto,
     in form suitable for filing in the Copyright Office. Borrower represents
     and warrants to GBC that said Prism and Mapics software accounted in the
     aggregate for more than 75% of its Receivables as of June 30, 1995. Within
     60 days after the date hereof, Borrower shall cause appropriate copyright
     registrations to be filed with the United States Copyright Office with
     respect to the balance of its software, and shall provide copies thereof to
     GBC together with a Security Agreement in Copyrighted Works in such form as
     GBC shall specify with respect thereto, in form suitable for filing in the
     Copyright Office. Until the obligations of the Borrower set forth in this
     Section 7.1 have been satisfied, notwithstanding any provisions in 
     Section 1 of this

     Schedule or any other provisions of this Loan Agreement to the contrary, in
     no event shall the total amount of the outstanding Loans and other
     Obligations exceed $7,500,000."

is amended to read as follows:

     "7.1 Copyright Registrations. Borrower has filed applications for
     registration of copyright in Borrower's PRISM software product with the
     United States Copyright Office (the "Copyright Office") and will cause
     appropriate applications for registration of copyright in Borrower's
     Protean software product to be filed with the Copyright Office on or before
     January 20, 1997. Borrower has previously caused Mapics, Inc. ("Mapics") to
     file applications for registration of the Mapics software with the
     Copyright Office. On or before March 1, 1997, Borrower shall deliver to GBC
     copies of all such copyright registrations and shall execute and deliver
     (or cause Mapics to execute and deliver) to GBC a Security Agreement in
     Copyrighted Works with respect thereto, in form and substance which is
     acceptable to GBC, in its discretion, and suitable for filing with the
     Copyright Office."

     2.   General Provisions. The consents set forth above shall not be deemed
to be a consent to any other transfer of Collateral or guaranty, whether or not
similar to the foregoing. This Amendment, the Loan Agreement, and the other Loan
Documents set forth in full all of the representations and agreements of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior
discussions, representations, agreements and understandings between the parties
with respect to the subject hereof. Except as herein expressly amended, all of

shall continue in full force and effect and the same are hereby ratified and
confirmed.

Amendment to Loan Documents

Borrower:      Marcam Corporation
Address:       95 Wells Avenue
               Newton, Massachusetts  02159

Date:          December 16, 1996


     THIS AMENDMENT ("Amendment") is entered into as of the above date between
GREYROCK BUSINESS CREDIT, a Division of NationsCredit Commercial Corporation
(formerly Greyrock Capital Group Inc.) ("GBC"), whose address is 10880 Wilshire
Blvd. Suite 950, Los Angeles, CA 90024 and the borrower named above ("Borrower")
with respect to the Loan and Security Agreement between GBC and Borrower, dated
August 29, 1995 (as amended, the "Loan Agreement"). (This Amendment, the Loan
Agreement, any prior written amendments to said agreements signed by GBC and the
Borrower, and all other written documents and agreements between GBC and the
Borrower are referred to herein collectively as the "Loan Documents,"
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment, shall have the
meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.)

     The parties agree to amend the Loan Agreement as follows, effective on the
date hereof:


     1.  Interest Rate.  The first sentence of Section 2 of the Schedule, which
presently reads "All Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the
"Prime Rate" (as hereinafter defined), plus 3% per annum, calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed" is amended to
read as follows:

     "All Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the "Prime Rate" (as
     hereinafter defined), plus 1% per annum, calculated on the basis of a 360
     day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

     2.  Monthly Fee.  Each month during the term of the Loan Agreement, and so
long as any Obligations remain outstanding, Borrower shall pay GBC a monthly fee
(the "Monthly Fee") in an amount equal to $2,000 for each $1,000,000 or portion
thereof of average outstanding Obligations outstanding during such month. The
Monthly Fee shall be payable with respect to each month on the last day of such
month, commencing November 30, 1996. Thus, for example, if the average
outstanding Obligations outstanding during a month were $800,000, the amount of
the Monthly Fee for such month would by $2,000, and if the average outstanding
Obligations outstanding during a month were $1,300,000, the amount of the
Monthly Fee for such month would be $4,000.

Greyrock Business Credit                             Amendment to Loan Documents
 
     3.  Representations True.  Borrower represents and warrants to GBC that
all representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Agreement are true and
correct.  With respect to the representation contained in Section 3.8 of the
Agreement, Borrower makes the representation having reference to the matters
identified in the attached Schedule 3.8; with respect to Section 3.10 of the
Agreement, Borrower makes the representation having reference to the Litigation
Update dated May 7, 1996, which has previously been given to GBC.

     4.  General Provisions.  The consents set forth above shall not be deemed
to be a consent to any other transfer of Collateral or guaranty, whether or not
similar to the foregoing.  This Amendment, the Loan Agreement, and the other
Loan Documents set forth in full all of the representations and agreements of
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior
discussions, representations, agreements and understandings between the parties
with respect to the subject hereof.  Except as herein expressly amended, all of
the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall continue in full force and effect and the same are hereby ratified and
confirmed.

3.   EXISTING WARRANT AGREEMENT AMENDMENTS

     Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4
hereof, the Holders hereby consent and agree, and the Company hereby agrees, to
each of the amendments to the Existing Warrant Agreement set forth below in this
Section 3, as follows:
<PAGE>
 
     3.1  Amendment to Section 2.2 of the Existing Warrant Agreement.

     Section 2.2 of the Existing Warrant Agreement is hereby amended by adding
the following sentence to the end of such Section:

          "In addition, if, at any time prior to the redemption or expiration of
     the Shareholder Rights in accordance with the Rights Agreement, any holder
     of a Warrant Certificate shall exercise the Warrants (or any portion
     thereof) evidenced thereby prior to the Distribution Date, each share of
     Common Stock being issued upon such exercise shall include the Shareholder
     Rights attached thereto in accordance with the Rights Agreement.  If, at
     any time prior to the redemption or expiration of the Shareholder Rights in
     accordance with the Rights Agreement, any holder of a Warrant Certificate
     shall exercise the Warrants (or any portion thereof) evidenced thereby
     after the Distribution Date, then, in addition to the Common Stock being
     issued upon the exercise of such Warrants, such holder of a Warrant
     Certificate shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall deliver to
     such holder, Rights Certificates representing the number of Shareholder
     Rights in respect of such shares of Common Stock as is provided for in
     Section 22(a) of the Rights Agreement, without giving effect to any of
     clauses (i) or (ii) of the proviso thereto."

     3.2  Amendment to Section 4.1(d) of the Existing Warrant Agreement.

     Section 4.1(d) of the Existing Warrant Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety to read as follows:

               "(d)  Consolidation; Merger; Sale of the Company.  In the event
          that there shall be:

                    (i)   any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of
               the Company with or into, another corporation (other than a
               merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation and that
               does not result in any reclassification or change of shares of
               Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such merger);

                    (ii)  any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the
               Property of the Company substantially as an entirety; or

                    (iii) any reclassification of the Common Stock or the
               Shareholder Rights (other than a reclassification for which the
               Rights Agreement provides an appropriate adjustment) that results
               in the issuance of other Securities of the Company; 

          then lawful provision shall be made as a part of the terms of such
          transaction so that the holders of Warrants shall thereafter have the
          right to purchase the number and kind of shares of stock, other
          Securities, cash, Property and rights receivable upon such
          consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or reclassification by a
          holder of such number of shares of Common Stock and such number of
          Shareholder Rights, as the case may be, as the holder of a Warrant
          would have had the right to acquire upon the exercise of such Warrant
          immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance,
          at the Purchase Price then in 
<PAGE>
 
          effect."

     3.3  Amendment to Section 4.6 of the Existing Warrant Agreement.

     Section 4.6 of the Existing Warrant Agreement is hereby amended by adding
the following subclause (c) to the end of such Section:

               "(c)  The Company shall not enter into any amendment of the
          Rights Agreement which would either:

                    (i)  have the effect of treating the holders of the Warrants
               (assuming they exercised such Warrants immediately following the
               occurrence of such amendment) in a manner that is different from
               the manner in which such holders would have been treated had they
               exercised the Warrants immediately prior to the occurrence of
               such amendment; or

                    (ii) deny the holders of the Warrants the benefits of
               section 22(a) of the Rights Agreement, without giving effect to
               any of clauses (i) or (ii) of the proviso thereto."

     3.4  Addition of Section 4.7 to the Existing Warrant Agreement.

     The Existing Warrant Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following
new Section 4.7 immediately following the new Section 4.6(c):

          "4.7  Right to Receive Consideration Upon Distributions to Holders of
     Shareholder Rights.

               (a) Right to Payment in Respect of Distributions.  In the event
          that the Company shall distribute to all holders of its Shareholder
          Rights (including, without limitation, any such distribution made in
          connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the
          continuing corporation) any Property whatsoever (including, without
          limitation, cash, assets, Securities or other rights, warrants or
          options), other than a redemption of the Rights in accordance with the
          Rights Agreement, then the Company shall pay or deliver to each Person
          who was a registered holder of Warrants on the record date for the
          payment of such dividend on the Shareholder Rights, an amount equal to
          the product of:

                    (i)  the aggregate number of Shareholder Rights which such
               holder would have received if such holder had exercised,
               immediately prior to the occurrence of such distribution, all
               Warrants then held by such holder; times

                    (ii) the amount per Shareholder Right of the Property so
               distributed.

               (b) Notice of Distribution in Respect of Shareholder Rights.  In
          the event of distribution described in Section 4.7(a), the Company
          shall give written notice of such declaration to each holder of
<PAGE>
 
          Warrants within five (5) Business Days after the declaration thereof,
          or the decision to make such distribution, which notice shall state:

                    (i)    that the Company has declared or determined to make a
               distribution in respect of its Shareholder Rights;

                    (ii)   the Property per share of such distribution and a
               description of the Property to be so distributed if the Property
               is other than cash;

                    (iii)  the record date, if any, for the determination of the
               registered holders of Shareholder Rights for the purpose of
               payment of such distribution;

                    (iv)   a description of the right described in Section
               4.7(a); and

                    (v)    the number of Shareholder Rights which such holder
               would have received if such holder had exercised, immediately
               prior to the occurrence of such distribution, all Warrants then
               held by such holder."

     3.5  Addition of Section 5.12 to the Existing Warrant Agreement.

     The Existing Warrant Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following
new Section 5.12 immediately following the end of the existing Section 5.11:

          "5.12  Registration Rights in Respect of Shareholder Rights Upon Sale
     of Common Stock.  In the event that, in connection with any sale by any
     holder of shares of Common Stock which are or were Registrable Securities
     at any time prior to the earliest to occur of the redemption or expiration
     of the Shareholder Rights in accordance with the Rights Agreement or the
     Distribution Date, registration of the Shareholder Rights under Section 5
     of the Securities Act is required, then the Company, as promptly as
     practicable, shall file with the SEC and shall use its reasonable best
     efforts to cause to become effective a registration statement (which, at
     the request of the Requisite Holders, shall be a shelf registration
     statement under Rule 415 under the Securities Act) in respect of
     such Shareholder Rights, and shall use its best efforts to keep such
     registration statement effective during the remainder of the Effective
     Period.  In connection with any such registration, the provisions of
     Section 5.3 through Section 5.11, inclusive, of this Agreement shall apply,
     mutatis mutandis.

          In the event that, in connection with any sale by any holder of shares
     of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof at any time prior
     to the earliest to occur of the redemption or expiration of the Shareholder
     Rights in accordance with the Rights Agreement or the Distribution Date,
     registration of the Shareholder Rights under Section 5 of the Securities
     Act is required, then the Company shall register and include in such sale,
     in addition to all the Registrable Securities required to be registered
     under Section 5.2, all Shareholder Rights attached to all such Registrable
     Securities."

     3.6  Amendment to Definition of "Market Price" in the Existing Warrant
<PAGE>
 
Agreement.

     The definition of "Market Price" contained in Section 6 of the Existing
Warrant Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence to the end
of such definition.

     "In computing the Market Price at any time prior to the earliest to occur
     of the redemption or expiration of the Shareholder Rights in accordance
     with the Rights Agreement or the Distribution Date, the value of the
     Shareholder Rights for purposes of the calculation of the Market Price
     shall be deemed to be zero (0)."

     3.7  Additions to Section 6 of the Existing Warrant Agreement.  The
following definitions are hereby added to Section 10.1 of the Existing Note
Agreement in such a manner so as to preserve the alphabetical listing of all
definitions set forth in said Section:

          "Distribution Date -- shall have the meaning specified in the Rights
     Agreement."

          "Rights Agreement -- means that certain Rights Agreement, dated as of
     December 3, 1996, between the Company and The First National Bank of
     Boston, as amended or modified from time to time."

          "Rights Certificate -- shall have the meaning specified in the Rights
     Agreement."

          "Shareholder Rights means the "Rights," as such term is defined in the
     Rights Agreement."
