                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

(1)  Basis of Presentation
     ---------------------

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). As permitted by the rules of the
Commission applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, these notes are
condensed and do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles. In the opinion of management, these financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of
operations and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods indicated. While
the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make these
financial statements not misleading, these financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and related notes
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1996.

     The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 1997
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

     Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period
presentation.

(2)  Commitments and Contingencies
     -----------------------------

     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 future
financial position or results of operations.

(3)  Subsequent Event
     ----------------

     On April 28, 1997, the Board of Directors of Marcam Corporation decided to
divide the Company into two separate corporations: one of which will operate the
portion of the business relating to its PRISM, Protean and Avantis product lines
and one of which will operate the portion of the business relating to the MAPICS
product line. The separation into two independent, publicly traded companies is
designed to enable each to better focus on its core markets, to better serve
existing customers and to finance its business. In connection with the
separation, Marcam Corporation will change its name to MAPICS, Inc. ("MAPICS")
and will continue the operations relating to the MAPICS product line.

     To effect the separation, Marcam Corporation will transfer to a newly
formed corporation, Marcam Solutions, Inc. ("Marcam Solutions"), substantially
all of the business, assets and liabilities relating to its PRISM, Protean and
Avantis product lines and will contribute an aggregate of $42.0 million in cash.
Of this cash contribution, the Company currently expects that $34.0 million will
be represented by a promissory note (the "Note"). All of the shares of common
stock of Marcam Solutions will be distributed pro rata to the stockholders of
Marcam Corporation (the "Distribution").


                                       5
<PAGE>

     The Distribution is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) approval by
the stockholders of Marcam Corporation and (ii) the receipt of a favorable
private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or, at the option of
the Board, opinions of the Company's special tax counsel and independent
accountants, with respect to the tax-free nature of the Distribution.

     The Company currently intends to repay the Note and the Company's
outstanding 9.82% Subordinated Notes due 2001 with an aggregate principal amount
of $25.0 million (the "Subordinated Notes") with the net proceeds from an
underwritten public offering of the common stock of MAPICS (the "Proposed MAPICS
Public Offering") or a debt financing which would be consummated only if the
Proposed MAPICS Public Offering is not completed promptly after the
Distribution. On April 30, 1997, Marcam filed a Registration Statement on Form
S-3 with the Commission relating to the Proposed MAPICS Public Offering. The
Company currently expects the Distribution and Proposed MAPICS Public Offering
to be completed during the fourth fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1997.

     Prior to the Distribution, MAPICS and Marcam Solutions intend to enter into
various agreements providing for the separation of the product lines and
governing various ongoing relationships between the two companies, including a
distribution agreement, a general services agreement, a domestic and
international facilities agreement and a tax sharing agreement.

PART I.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

Overview
- --------

     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ
materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors
that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, fluctuations
in quarterly results, particularly resulting from lengthy sales cycles, the
variable size of the Company's transactions with customers and relatively fixed
expenses in the short term; successful development and enhancement of the
Company's products; market acceptance of the Company's products; availability of
funds for the continued financing of the Company's operations and development
activities; and the highly competitive nature of the Company's markets. Further
information on potential factors that could affect the Company's financial
results are included in filings made by the Company from time to time with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), including in the section
entitled "Factors Affecting Future Performance" contained in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996
(0-18674).

     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 have been derived from licensing its Protean, PRISM,
Avantis and MAPICS products. For the first three quarters of 1996, the Company
also derived revenues from its subsidiary, Foresight Software, Inc.
("Foresight") 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 products provide
customer solutions implemented on the IBM AS/400. The Avantis products provide
customer solutions implemented on both 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 billed annually, with revenues recognized on a pro rata
basis during the contract period. Services 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. Services revenues are generally tied to license
revenues and are recognized as the services are delivered.

     For the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company recorded a net loss of
$5,321,000. The net loss included an operating loss of $3,601,000. The Company's
revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 were less than management
expected. The expenditures during the quarter, particularly the significant
continued investment in the development of Protean and underutilized channel
costs, had been based on expected revenues. The revenue shortfall, 





                                       7
<PAGE>

combined with the relatively fixed nature of the expenses over the short term,
resulted in the loss. While the Company's AS/400 based businesses were
profitable overall, these profits were insufficient to cover losses in Protean
due to development and underutilized channel costs. The results for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997 also reflect savings resulting from expense control and the
restructuring efforts implemented during the second half of fiscal 1996.

     On April 28, 1997, the Board of Directors of Marcam Corporation decided to
divide the Company into two separate corporations: one of which will operate the
portion of the business relating to its PRISM, Protean and Avantis product lines
and one of which will operate the portion of the business relating to the MAPICS
product line. The separation into two independent, publicly traded companies is
designed to enable each to better focus on its core markets, to better serve
existing customers and to finance its business. In connection with the
separation, Marcam Corporation will change its name to "MAPICS, Inc." ("MAPICS")
and will continue the operations relating to the MAPICS product line.

     To effect the separation, Marcam Corporation will transfer to a newly
formed corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Marcam Corporation, Marcam
Solutions, Inc. ("Marcam Solutions"), substantially all of the business, assets
and liabilities relating to its PRISM, Protean and Avantis product lines and
will contribute an aggregate of $42.0 million in cash. Of this cash
contribution, the Company currently expects that $34.0 million will be
represented by a promissory note (the "Note"). All of the shares of common stock
of Marcam Solutions will be distributed pro rata to the stockholders of Marcam
Corporation (the "Distribution").

     The Company currently intends to repay the Note and the Company's
outstanding 9.82% Subordinated Notes due 2001 with an aggregate principal amount
of $25.0 million (the "Subordinated Notes") with the net proceeds from an
underwritten public offering of the common stock of MAPICS (the "Proposed MAPICS
Public Offering") or a debt financing which would be consummated only if the
Proposed MAPICS Public Offering is not completed promptly after the Distribution
(the "Proposed Debt Financing"). On April 30, 1997, Marcam filed a Registration
Statement on Form S-3 with the Commission relating to the Proposed MAPICS Public
Offering. The Company currently expects the Distribution and Proposed MAPICS
Public Offering to be completed during the fourth fiscal quarter ended September
30, 1997.

     The Company has initiated new reviews of its operating expense structure to
assess the efficiency and effectiveness of its operations and to identify
opportunities to improve profitability. The actions, if any, which result from
these reviews will primarily be initiated in the third quarter of 1997.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     Total revenues decreased 7.6% to $43,804,000 from $47,426,000 and decreased
8.1% to $89,551,000 from $97,429,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended
March 31, 1997, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1996. Total
revenues excluding revenues from the Foresight product line, which was divested
effective as of June 30, 1996, increased 4.2% from $42,027,000 for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1997, as compared to the same period in 1996.
Total revenues excluding revenues from the Foresight product line for the
six-month period ended March 31, 1997 were consistent with revenues for the same
period in 1996. License revenues decreased 1.9% to $17,815,000 from $18,151,000
and decreased 8.0% to $38,084,000 from $41,408,000 for the three- and six-month
periods ended March 31, 1997, respectively, as compared to the same periods in
1996. License revenues excluding revenues






                                       8
<PAGE>

from the Foresight product line increased 17.9% from $15,108,000 and increased
3.4% from $36,844,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 1997,
respectively, as compared to the same period in 1996. The increase in license
fee revenues for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 1997 as
compared to the same periods in 1996 was primarily due to strong MAPICS license
revenue, particularly within North America and Europe, offset by lower license
revenue of PRISM.

     Services revenues decreased 11.2% to $25,989,000 from $29,275,000 and
decreased 8.1% to $51,467,000 from $56,021,000 for the three- and six-month
periods ended March 31, 1997, respectively, as compared to the same periods in
1996. Services revenues excluding revenues from the Foresight product line
decreased 3.5% from $26,919,000 and decreased 2.1% from $52,579,000 for the
three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 1997, respectively, as compared to
the same period in 1996. The decrease in services revenues for both the three-
and six-month periods ended March 31, 1997, was primarily due to decreased
implementation consulting and customization revenues for the PRISM products
which were partially offset by increased customer support revenues.

      Cost of license revenues represented 22.5% and 22.8% of license revenues
for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 1997, respectively, as
compared to 20.8% and 20.3% for the same periods in 1996, respectively. The
increase in cost of license revenues as a percentage of license revenues for the
three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the same
periods in 1996 was due to increased amortization of capitalized software
translation costs relating to non-U.S. markets and increased amortization of
capitalized software development costs related to the MAPICS and Protean
products. The percentage increase is also attributable to the decrease in
license revenues for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 1997 as
compared to the same periods in 1996.

     Cost of services revenues represented 55.9% and 56.6% of services revenues
for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 1997, respectively, as
compared to 66.4% and 65.2% for the same periods in 1996. The improvement in
cost of services revenues as a percentage of services revenues for the three-
and six-month periods ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the same periods in
1996 was primarily due to cost savings from expense control and the
restructuring efforts implemented during the second half of fiscal year 1996.
The improvement in cost of services revenues as a percentage of services
revenues is also due to a $2,000,000 special provision for estimated services
contract losses which was recorded within the three-month period ended March 31,
1996.

     Selling and marketing expense decreased $1,510,000, or 7.6%, and
$4,016,000, or 9.9%, for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 1997,
respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1996. These decreases were
primarily related to the costs associated with the Foresight product line, which
was divested effective as of June 30, 1996. The decreases related to the
Foresight product line divestiture more than offset the increased marketing
expenditures in 1997 related to the PRISM, Protean, Avantis and MAPICS product
lines.

     Gross research and product development expenditures for the three- and
six-month periods ended March 31, 1997 were $10,759,000 and $20,878,000,
respectively, as compared to $10,041,000 and $20,204,000 for the same periods in
1996. The increase in gross research and product development expenses for the
three- and six-months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the same periods in
1996 is primarily due to increased development costs for the MAPICS and





                                       9
<PAGE>

Protean product lines partially offset by lower spending to translate and
localize software products for international sale, and no development costs in
1997 related to the divested Foresight product line. Development spending for
the PRISM product line during the three- and six-month periods ended March 31,
1997 was consistent with the level of spending during the same periods in 1996.

     Computer software costs capitalized were $2,644,000 and $5,199,000 for the
three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 1997, respectively, representing
24.6% and 24.9% of gross research and development expenditures. Computer
software costs capitalized during the three- and six-month periods ended March
31, 1996 were $3,087,000 and $6,577,000, respectively, representing 30.7% and
32.6% of gross research and development expenditures. The decrease as a
percentage of gross expenditures was due primarily to lower translation efforts
in 1997 and a lower amount of software development expenditure qualifying for
capitalization.

     Therefore, product development expenses were $8,115,000 and $15,679,000 for
the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 1997, respectively,
representing 18.5% and 17.5% of total revenues. For the three- and six-month
periods ended March 31, 1996, product development expenses were $6,954,000 and
$13,627,000, respectively, representing 14.7% and 14.0% of total revenues. The
increases for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 1997,
respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1996 were primarily related to
the continuing investment in all of the Company's products and lower amounts of
costs qualifying for capitalization.

    General and administrative expenses, which include the Company's finance,
accounting and corporate administrative functions, decreased by $864,000 and
$1,105,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 1997,
respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1996. The decrease was
primarily due to a $1,000,000 special provision in 1996 for additional contract
claims and legal costs.

     During the second quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company reached an agreement
in principle 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 in the three-month period ended March
31, 1996 of $3,250,000 to cover the settlement and other related expenses.

     Interest and other income decreased $262,000 and $320,000 for the three-and
six-month periods ended March 31, 1997, respectively, as compared to the same
periods in 1996. These decreases were primarily related to interest earned on
lower cash balances during the 1997 periods as compared to the 1996 periods.

     The income tax expense for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31,
1997 was $1,000,000 and $2,001,000, respectively. The income tax expense for the
three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 1996 was $1,213,000 and $2,041,000,
respectively. The expense in each period was primarily due to foreign
withholding taxes and income taxes on income generated in foreign jurisdictions,
for which U.S. tax credit utilization is currently uncertain. There was no tax
benefit recorded for losses generated in the U.S. during these periods due to
the uncertainty of realizing such benefits.

decreased 23.8% to $23,018,000 from $30,205,000 and decreased 26.3% to
$45,386,000 from $61,585,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended March
31, 1997, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1996. Total revenues
excluding the revenues from the Foresight product line, which was divested
effective June 30, 1996, decreased 7.2% from $24,806,000 and decreased 15.3%
from $53,580,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 1997,
respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1996. The decreases in revenues
are primarily due to decreases in PRISM and Protean license and implementation
service revenues. The decrease in PRISM and Protean license and implementation
service revenues is primarily due to fewer large transactions for the PRISM
products as well as the inability to capture market opportunities for the new
Protean licenses due to its customers' preference to purchase an integrated
solution from a single vendor. Support revenues, excluding the Foresight product
line support revenues, for the three- and six-month period ended March 31, 1997
were consistent with the same periods in 1996.

     Total operating expenses related to the PRISM, Protean and Avantis product
lines decreased 23.3% to $31,398,000 from $40,933,000 and decreased 22.6% to
$60,953,000 from $78,783,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended March
31, 1997, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1996. Total expenses
excluding the expenses from the Foresight product line, which was divested
effective June 30, 1996, decreased 11.3% from $35,402,000 and decreased 13.5%
from $69,153,000. The decrease in operating expenses excluding Foresight-related
expenses is due to decreased variable costs for sales, marketing and
implementation services attributable to the decrease in license and
implementation services revenues. The decrease in operating costs is also due to
costs savings realized from restructuring activity during the last half of
fiscal year 1996. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, pro
forma net loss related to the PRISM, Protean and Avantis product lines was
$9,932,000 and $15,380,000, respectively. For the six-month periods ended March
31, 1997 and 1996, pro forma net loss related to the PRISM, Protean and Avantis
product was $18,699,000 and $23,222,000, respectively.

     Total revenues related to the MAPICS product line increased 20.7% to
$20,786,000 from $17,221,000 and increased 23.2% to $44,165,000 from $35,844,000
for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 1997, respectively, as
compared to the same periods in 1996. The increase in revenues is primarily due
to an increase in license revenues to new customers and increases in services
revenues because of an increased installed base of customers.

     Total operating expenses related to the MAPICS product line increased 29.3%
to $16,007,000 from $12,375,000 and increased 29.4% to $33,593,000 from
$25,961,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 1997,
respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1996. The increase in operating
expenses is primarily attributable to increased variable sales and marketing
costs because of increased revenues. In addition, operating expenses have
increased due to higher software development expenses on related to the MAPICS
products during the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 1997, compared
to the same period in 1996. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and
1996, pro forma net income related to the MAPICS product line was $2,938,000 and
$2,980,000, respectively. For the six-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and
1996, pro forma net income for the MAPICS product line was $6,501,000 and
$6,078,000, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

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

     Current assets decreased $2,003,000 at March 31, 1997 to $76,548,000 from
$78,551,000 at September 30, 1996. This decrease was primarily due to lower cash
and accounts receivable balances partially offset by higher prepaid expenses and
other current assets. The decrease in cash is attributable to cash used to fund
operating losses, restructuring-related payments and investments in software
development and fixed assets. The decrease in accounts receivable is primarily
due to decreased revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 as
compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 1996. The increase in
prepaid expenses and other current assets is primarily related to increased
general insurance prepayments and a reclassification of certain long-term other
assets to current assets due to their scheduled realization.

     Current liabilities increased $269,000 at March 31, 1997 to $94,272,000
from $94,003,000 at September 30, 1996. The increase was primarily due to the
increase in deferred revenue, which resulted from the annual billing of the
majority of the Company's maintenance contracts. The maintenance contracts
period for the PRISM, Protean and Avantis products is predominantly from January
to December, with the billing occurring in January of every year. The revenues
from these maintenance contracts are deferred and recognized ratably over the
contract period. The increase in deferred revenues was partially offset by
decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current
liabilities. These decreases were primarily due to reductions in restructuring
reserves and affiliate commissions payable. As a result of the decrease in
current assets and the increase in current liabilities, the working capital
deficit increased by $2,272,000 from a working capital deficit of $15,452,000 at
September 30, 1996 to a working capital deficit of $17,724,000 at March 31,
1997.

      During the six-month period ended March 31, 1997, operating activities
provided approximately $5,442,000 of cash, as support fees received more than
offset operating expenses and cash outlays for restructuring expenditures and
affiliate fees. During the same period, investing activities used approximately
$7,348,000 of cash primarily for the purchase of fixed assets and expenditures
for software development. Financing activities during the same period provided
$404,000 of cash primarily from proceeds received from the sale of stock to
employees, partially offset by payments made on capitalized leases.

    At March 31, 1997, the Company had outstanding $25,000,000 in aggregate
principal amount of 9.82% unsecured Subordinated Notes due April 30, 2001. The
terms of the subordinated debt contain financial covenants which, among other
things, require the maintenance of certain financial ratios, limit the ability
to incur additional debt, and preclude the payment of dividends. The Company
currently is in compliance with these covenants, as amended.

     The Company has a revolving credit line, as amended in May 1997, of
$20,000,000, 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. 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 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 



                                       12
<PAGE>

the Company's property or assets. At March 31, 1997, the Company had no
borrowings outstanding under this credit facility.

     The Company has used cash during fiscal years 1997, 1996 and 1995 to fund
strategic investments, in particular substantial expenditures for new product
development, and operating losses. For the first two quarters of fiscal 1997 and
for fiscal years 1996 and 1995, the Company's gross product development
expenditures were $20,878,000, $39,913,000, and $41,140,000, respectively.
During the remainder of fiscal year 1997, the Company currently intends to
continue to make investments in product development and may need to continue
funding operating losses. The Company's objective is to fund these investments
primarily with cash from improved operations. The Company's timely 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 assurance that additional
debt or equity financing will be available or available with terms acceptable to
the Company. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Proposed MAPICS
Public Offering will be successful or completed by the current fiscal year
ending September 30, 1997.

                              AGREEMENT AND RELEASE
                              ---------------------

Mr. Robert Cramer (hereinafter referred to as "you") has been informed that your
employment with Marcam Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Marcam" or the

and sufficient consideration more fully described below, that:

1. Employment Status. Unless new employment is obtained sooner, your employment

programs or any oral or written agreement shall terminate, except as required by
federal or state law or otherwise described below.

2. Consideration.

10. Representations.

         (a) Except for the Employee Agreement, the foregoing represents the
complete and exclusive agreement and understanding relating to the termination
of your employment and supersedes any and all prior agreement of understanding,
