              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)  Basis of Presentation

  Except for the balance sheet as of September 30, 1998, the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the
opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements contain
all adjustments (consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
operations and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods indicated.  The
condensed 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.  While the
Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make these
condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading, these condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September
30, 1998 as filed with the Commission.

  MAPICS, Inc. (the "Company") operates on a fiscal year ending September 30th.
The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. The accompanying
condensed financial statements are consolidated and consist of the condensed
financial statements of MAPICS, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the
consolidation.

  Certain reclassifications were made to the 1997 statement of operations to
conform with the 1998 presentation.

(2)  Significant Accounting Principles

 Revenue Recognition

  The Company generates revenues primarily from licensing its software, which is
conducted through a global network of independent Affiliates. The Affiliates
provide the principal channel through which the Company's products are
distributed to its customers. However, the ultimate customer typically executes
a license agreement directly with the Company rather than the Affiliate.

  On October 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2,
"Software Revenue Recognition," as amended by SOP 98-4. SOP 97-2, as amended,
provides guidance on applying generally accepted accounting principles in
recognizing revenue on software transactions and supercedes SOP 91-1. The
adoption of SOP 97-2 did not and is not expected to have a material impact on
the Company's financial position, results of operations or financial statement
disclosures.

  The Company generally recognizes revenue from the licensing of its software
upon: (i) the signing of a license agreement between the Company and the
ultimate customer; (ii) delivery of the software to the customer or to a
location designated by the customer; (iii) fees being fixed and determinable;
and (iv) 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. Revenue from the licensing of software is
included in license revenues, and the related commissions paid to Affiliates are
included in selling and marketing expenses.

  The Company recognizes services revenues from its periodic license fees
ratably over the terms of the periodic license agreements. The periodic license
fee, which is typically payable annually in advance, entitles the customer to
continue using the software and to receive certain support services, as
available.

 The Company has no commitment to reimburse the Affiliates for any losses
incurred.

 Segment Information

  On October 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statements of Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information."  SFAS No. 131 requires public companies to report certain
information about operating segments in their financial statements and
establishes related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas
and major customers. SFAS No. 131 does not need to be applied to interim
financial statements in the initial year of application; however, comparative
information for interim periods in the initial year of application will be
reported in the financial statements for interim periods after September 30,
1999.

(3)  Net Income Per Common Share

  Net income per common share (basic) is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Net
income per common share (diluted) is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares
outstanding during the period.  Common equivalent shares consist of the shares
issuable upon the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options, warrants and
convertible preferred stock.  The following table presents the calculations of
basic and diluted net income per common share (in thousands, except per share
data):

(4) 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.

(5)  Office Lease

  On October 29, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to lease
approximately 120,000 square feet of new office space (the ''New Lease'') in
Alpharetta, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta. The new office space is required to
meet the needs of the Company's growing employee population. The New Lease will
become effective on March 1, 1999, at which time the Company will vacate its
current facilities in Atlanta. The Company has reached an agreement to assign
the four leases for its current facilities in Atlanta (the ''Old Leases'') to a
third party which will assume all of the Company's obligations under the Old
Leases effective March 1, 1999.

(6)  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

  In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee ("AcSEC") issued
SOP 98-1, ''Accounting for Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use,'' which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1998. The Statement distinguishes accounting for the costs of computer software
developed or obtained for internal use from guidance under SFAS No. 86,
''Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise
Marketed.'' The Company will adopt SOP 98-1 on October 1, 1999. The adoption of
SOP 98-1 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's software
capitalization policies, financial position, results of operations or financial
statement disclosures.

  In December 1998, the AcSEC issued SOP 98-9, "Modification of SOP 97-2,
Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions." SOP 98-9,
which amends SOP 97-2, provides additional guidance on revenue recognition for
software arrangements with multiple elements. The Company will adopt SOP 98-9 on
October 1, 1999. The adoption of SOP 98-9 is not expected to have a material
impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or financial
statement disclosures.

ITEM 2:  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

  The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing
elsewhere herein.  This discussion contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company's plans,
objectives, expectations and intentions. Words such as "anticipate," "believe,"
"could," "estimate," "expect," "intends," "may," "plans," "will," "would" and
similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-
looking statements. The Company's actual results could differ materially from
those contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained herein.  Factors
that may cause such a difference include but are not limited to those discussed
in the cautionary statements contained herein as well as those discussed in the
section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations - Factors Affecting Future Performance" contained in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30,
1998 as filed with the Commission.  The cautionary statements made in this
report should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking
statements wherever they appear in this report.

 Overview

  The Company is a business software company whose primary customers are
discrete and batch process manufacturers. The Company delivers enterprise
resource planning software that allows its customers to automate the
manufacturing process and coordinate multiple functions and departments within
their organizations, as well as extend their interactions with their supply
chain partners. The MAPICS XA product line currently consists of 49 applications
in the areas of Engineering Management, Demand Management, Operations
Management, Resource Planning, Financial Management and Business Management. The
design of the Company's applications allows its customers to rapidly implement
all or a portion of the Company's solution with minimal disruption to their
business. Furthermore, MAPICS solutions enable customers to leverage existing
information technology investments and adopt new technologies gradually, which
lowers costs and increases their return on investment.

  The Company generates revenues primarily from licensing its software, which is
conducted principally through a global network of independent Affiliates. The
Affiliates provide the principal channel through which the Company's products
are distributed to its customers. However, the ultimate customer executes a
license agreement directly with the Company rather than the Affiliate. When it
first licenses its software, the Company receives both an initial license fee
and a periodic license fee. Initial license fees are recorded as license
revenues and generally recognized upon: (i) the signing of a license agreement
between the Company and the ultimate customer; (ii) delivery of the software to
the customer or to a location designated by the customer; (iii) fees being
fixed and determinable; and (iv) determination that collection of the related
receivable is probable. Periodic license fees are recorded as services revenue
and recognized ratably over the term of the periodic license agreement. The
periodic license fee, which is typically paid annually in advance, entitles the
customer to continue using the software and to receive certain support services,
as available. If a customer does not renew its periodic license, it is no longer
entitled to use the Company's software. The Company believes this licensing
arrangement provides a source of recurring revenues from its installed base of
customers and enables customers to take advantage of new releases and
enhancements of its software.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
  The Affiliates, rather than the Company, provide the Company's customers with
consulting and implementation services relating to the MAPICS products. As a
result, the Company does not generate revenues from providing consulting and
implementation services.

  The Company's cost structure is designed so that a significant portion of the
Company's costs vary in direct relation to license revenues, particularly
commissions paid to Affiliates, which are included in selling and marketing
expenses, and product royalties, which are included in cost of license revenues.
The Company's single largest expense is commissions paid to Affiliates, which
are based on the revenues they generate from licensing the MAPICS products.

  In October 1998, the Company announced the world-wide availability of MAPICS
XA Release 5, which includes three new applications and enhancements to 20 of
the existing applications. Release 5 offers a complete solution for the Euro
Conversion and allows companies to maximize the benefits of e-commerce through a
complete Java user interface (eWorkPlace) and an Internet-based customer service
application (COM_Net). Using eWorkPlace, remote or local users can obtain
controlled access to MAPICS applications via an intranet, an extranet or the
Internet. COM Net helps companies service their customers over the Internet,
enabling them to place orders, review inventory availability, obtain current
pricing and promotional information, specify product configurations and inquire
into the status of an order 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

 Three Months Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended December
31, 1997

  Revenues.  Total revenues increased 30.0% to $38.5 million for the three
months ended December 31, 1998 from $29.6 million for the three months ended
December 31, 1997.

  License revenues increased 26.5% to $23.0 million for the three months ended
December 31, 1998 from $18.2 million for the three months ended December 31,
1997, due to a volume increase in license sales to new customers.  License sales
to new customers (which include both new named accounts and migrations from the
older MAPICS I and II product lines) increased 86% over the same 

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
period a year ago. The increase in license sales to new customers resulted from
the introduction of MAPICS XA Release 5 in October 1998 and reflects the
effectiveness of the Company's efforts to enhance the Affiliate channel and
thereby broaden its customer base.

  Although the Company expects that the availability of new products and
incremental investments made to enhance the Affiliate channel will continue to
have a positive effect on the Company's revenues, future growth in license
revenues could be lower than that which the Company experienced during the past
twelve months due to prevailing concerns among manufacturers about general
economic conditions and the Year 2000 issue which is discussed elsewhere herein.
During the three months ended December 31, 1998, the Company received
indications that these concerns are affecting the purchasing decisions of both
existing customers and potential new customers alike, most notably in the United
States. However, these concerns might also impact the buying decisions of
customers in international markets. The Company is unable to quantify the effect
that these concerns have had or will continue to have on its business, financial
condition and results of operations.

  The Company achieved license revenue growth in each of its primary geographic
markets during the three months ended December 31, 1998.  Operations in (i)
North America, (ii) the EMEA region and (iii) the combined Latin America/Asia
Pacific regions accounted for 62%, 25% and 13% of total license revenues,
respectively, during the three months ended December 31, 1998, compared to 64%,
25% and 11% respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 1997.

  Services revenues increased 35.4% to $15.5 million for the three months ended
December 31, 1998 from $11.4 million for the three months ended December 31,
1997, primarily due to the increase in the number of customers paying periodic
license fees.

  Cost of License Revenues.  Cost of license revenues increased 27.5% to $3.6
million for the three months ended December 31, 1998 from $2.8 million for the
three months ended December 31, 1997, primarily as a result of an increase in
product royalty expense due to the increased volume in license revenues and an
increase in amortization expense related to computer software costs.  Cost of
license revenues increased slightly as a percentage of license revenues to 15.6%
for the three months ended December 31, 1998 from 15.5% for the three months
ended December 31, 1997, primarily as a result of proportionally higher total
product royalty expenses paid to third party software suppliers ("Solution
Partners") due to the mix of products sold during the three months ended
December 31, 1998.  The increase in the amortization of computer software costs
as a percentage of license revenues was smaller than such increases in prior
periods because certain of the costs of computer software are now fully
amortized.

  Cost of Services Revenues.  Cost of services revenues increased 28.4% to $4.1
million for the three months ended December 31, 1998 from $3.2 million for the
three months ended December 31, 1997.  This increase resulted from the
additional distribution and support costs associated with the increase in new
customers, a volume increase in fees paid to Affiliates and Solution Partners
for providing support services in EMEA and the Latin America and Asia Pacific
regions and the added personnel costs associated with hiring additional customer
support personnel.  Cost of services revenues decreased as a percentage of
services revenues to 26.4% for the three months ended December 31, 1998 from
27.8% for the three months ended December 31, 1997 because the fixed cost
component relating primarily to personnel costs was a proportionally lower
percentage of costs of services revenues during the three months ended December
31, 1998.

  Selling and Marketing.  Selling and marketing expenses increased 38.1% to
$14.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 1998 from $10.5 million
for the three months ended December 31, 1997.  As a percentage of total
revenues, selling and marketing expenses increased to 37.5% for the three months
ended December 31, 1998 from 35.4% for the three months ended December 31, 1997.
These increases were due to increased commissions earned by Affiliates on
increased license revenues, the hiring of additional sales and marketing
personnel and increased spending on selling and marketing programs.

  Product Development.  Overall product development expenses increased 15.8% to
$4.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 1998 from $3.5 million for
the three months ended December 31, 1997. As a percentage of total revenues,
product development expenses decreased to 10.5% for the three months ended
December 31, 1998 from 11.7% for the three months ended December 31, 1997.  The
increase in product development expense resulted from a combination of increased
spending on core product development and a reduction in the amount of software
translation expenditures which were capitalized during the three months ended
December 31, 1998.

  Gross core development expenditures increased 16.0% to $4.7 million for the
three months ended December 31, 1998 from $4.1 million for the three months
ended December 31, 1997. This increase was due primarily to the hiring of
additional personnel and incremental spending on product development resources
to support the on-going effort to re-engineer the Company's software server
applications to the Windows NT server platform, while continuing efforts to
expand the MAPICS XA product line. The amounts of 

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
core development expenditures capitalized during the three months ended December
31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 were $778,000 and $562,000 respectively,
representing 16.5% and 13.8% of gross core development expenditures during those
periods. The amount of core development expenditures capitalized as a percentage
of gross core development expenditures during the three months ended December
31, 1998 increased because a higher proportion of these expenditures had reached
the technological feasibility stage as compared to those for the three months
ended December 31, 1997. Gross computer software translation expenditures
decreased 29.7% to $712,000 during the three months ended December 31, 1998 from
$1.0 million during the three months ended December 31, 1997. Translation
expenditures are typically project related, and the timing of these expenditures
is subject to change from period to period. The amounts of translation
expenditures capitalized during the three months ended December 31, 1998 and
December 31, 1997 were $634,000 and $997,000, respectively, representing 89.0%
and 98.4%, respectively, of gross translation expenditures during those periods.

  In addition to the amounts spent on core product development and computer
software translation, the Company spent approximately $636,000 during the three
months ended December 31, 1998 and $0 during the three months ended December 31,
1997 to acquire certain rights to computer software.  The amounts spent to
acquire computer software were capitalized and are included in computer software
costs.

  General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses increased
34.6% to $2.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 1998 from $2.2
million during the three months ended December 31, 1997.  These expenses
represented 7.6% and 7.3% of total revenues during the three months ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

  Interest Income.  Interest income increased to $408,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 1998 from $65,000 for the three months ended December 31,
1997 due to the increase in cash and cash equivalents.

  Interest Expense.  Interest expense, which primarily reflects commitment fees
incurred for unused portions of the Company's revolving credit facility,
increased to $15,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1998 from $14,000
for the three months ended December 31, 1997.

  Income Tax Expense.  Income tax expense represented 38.5% of income before
income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 1998 and 1997.

  Net Income.  Net income increased 29.9% to $6.0 million, or $0.26 per share
(diluted), for the three months ended December 31, 1998 from $4.6 million, or
$0.21 per share (diluted), for the three months ended December 31, 1997.

  The Company has funded its operations and capital expenditures primarily with
cash generated from operating activities. As of December 31, 1998, the Company
had cash and cash equivalents of $30.5 million and working capital of $22.7
million. Excluding deferred revenues of $30.6 million, working capital as of
December 31, 1998 was $53.3 million.  As of September 30, 1998, the Company had
cash and cash equivalents of $33.4 million and working capital of $12.3 million.
Excluding deferred revenues of $31.1 million, working capital as of September
30, 1998 was $43.4 million. During the three months ended December 31, 1998,
cash and cash equivalents decreased $3.0 million while working capital,
excluding deferred revenues, increased $9.9 million.

                                       11

  Net cash used for operating activities during the three months ended December
31, 1998 was $1.2 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities
during the three months ended December 31, 1997 of $6.6 million. Growth in
earnings and the utilization of favorable income tax benefits during the three
months ended December 31, 1998 continued to have a positive effect on the
Company's cash flow from operating activities; however, the effect of changes in
working capital caused an overall decrease in cash flow from operating
activities. During the three months ended December 31, 1998, accounts receivable
increased $6.7 million, accrued expenses and other current liabilities decreased
$3.9 million and accounts payable decreased $2.0 million, each of which had the
effect of reducing cash flow from operating activities. The increase in accounts
receivable resulted principally from an increase in amounts billed to existing
customers in December 1998 for annual license fees. The decreases in accounts
payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities resulted from
payments to vendors and other service providers, payments to Affiliates for
sales commissions and income tax payments for the year ended September 30, 1998.
Furthermore, the Company accelerated payments of sales commissions to its
Affiliates during the three months ended December 31, 1998 to enhance its
Affiliate channel by providing improved cash flow so that they can continue to
grow their operations. The trends affecting accounts receivable and accrued
expenses and other current liabilities were generally the same during the three
months ended December 31, 1997, during which time accounts receivable increased
$1.7 million, accrued expenses and other current liabilities decreased $1.0
million and accounts payable increased $639,000.

  Net cash used for investing activities during the three months ended December
31, 1998 and 1997 was $2.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively. During  the
three months ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company used cash for
investing activities related to computer software development, computer software
translation and purchases of property and equipment, reflecting the incremental
investments made in its computer software development activities and the
additional computer equipment and office furniture needed for its growing
employee population. The decrease in cash used for investing activities resulted
from a $623,000 reduction in capital expenditures for property and equipment and
a $147,000 reduction in additions to computer software costs offset by a
$636,000 increase in expenditures to acquire certain rights to computer software
to be integrated with the Company's product offerings.

  Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended
December 31, 1998 was $1.2 million, compared to net cash used for financing
activities during the three months ended December 31, 1997 of $526,000. During
the three months ended December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively,
the Company received proceeds from stock options exercised and employee stock
purchases of $1.2 million and $481,000, respectively. During the three months
ended December 31, 1997, the Company repurchased 103,600 shares of its Common
Stock for $1.0 million pursuant to its then existing stock repurchase plan which
was rescinded in December 1998. On February 10, 1999, the Company's board of
directors authorized the repurchase of up to 1.8 million shares of Common Stock
under a new stock repurchase plan.

  In addition to the cash provided by operating and financing activities,
additional borrowings of up to $15.0 million, subject to certain limitations,
are available to the Company under a revolving credit facility with a bank.
Availability of revolving credit loans and the rate of interest thereon vary
depending upon the Company's ability to maintain certain financial ratios. As of
December 31, 1998, the Company met all of those financial ratios, although no
revolving credit borrowings have been outstanding under the revolving credit
facility since its inception. The Company pays a quarterly commitment fee for
unused portions of the revolving credit facility. Any outstanding borrowings
under the revolving credit facility will mature on June 30, 2000.

  As of December 31, 1998, the Company did not have any material commitments for
capital expenditures.

  The Company believes that cash and cash equivalents on hand as of December 31,
1998, together with cash flows from operations and available borrowings under
the Company's revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to maintain its
current level of operations for at least the next 12 months.

 Year 2000 Issue

  Many existing computer hardware and software systems are designed to use only
two digits to identify a year in date fields (e.g., ''98'' for ''1998''). These
systems may not properly recognize a year that begins with ''20'' instead of
''19.'' If not corrected, these systems could fail or could create erroneous
results when working with dates beyond the year 1999. This is commonly referred
to as the ''Year 2000 issue.'' The Company believes that the Year 2000 issue may
affect the Company in two principal ways: through the Company's products and its
operations.

 The Company's Readiness Status

  The Company develops and markets software programs which are date sensitive
and may be affected by the Year 2000 issue. The Year 2000 issue may also affect
the demand for the Company's products and the spending patterns of the Company's
customers.

  In July 1997, the Company received Information Technology Association of
America 2000 (''ITAA 2000'') certification, validating that the Company's
development processes meet the information technology industry's best software
development practices for addressing the Year 2000 issue. MAPICS XA releases
since 1995 and the last release of MAPICS/DB have been converted and tested to
be Year 2000 compliant. The Company believes that the products it currently
produces adequately address the Year 2000 issue. The Company's Solution Partners
have certified to the Company that their products are also Year 2000 compliant.
However, the Company cannot assure that these products or future products that
the Company or its Solution Partners develop contain or will contain all
necessary date code changes or that errors will not be found in these products
at a later time. The costs to resolve any resulting Year 2000 related errors
could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.

  Many hardware, operating system and application products developed by third
parties interact or operate with MAPICS applications. In addition, customers or
others may modify MAPICS products after they have been installed. The Company
cannot assess the Year 2000 readiness of these hardware, operating system and
application products or modified MAPICS products. If these products are not Year
2000 compliant, it could adversely affect the performance and functionality of
the Company's applications that work with these products. While the Company 
believes that it would not be responsible for these Year 2000 problems, it is
unable to assess the effect they may have on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.

  The Company believes that the Year 2000 issue is effecting the demand for
Year 2000 enabled hardware and software products, including those offered by the
Company. The Company believe that customers (both existing customers and
potential new customers) have deferred and may continue to defer purchase
decisions for the Company's products while they divert their resources to
address other Year 2000 issues within their businesses. In addition, once
companies have replaced their existing systems which are not Year 2000 enabled
their demand for the Company's products may decrease. The Company is unable to
quantify the effect that the demand for Year 2000 enabled products has had on
its current business, financial condition and results of operations and cannot
predict the effect that any increase or decrease in demand will have on the
Company in the future.

  The Company principally relies on its MAPICS XA product to support its
internal accounting, payables and invoicing operations. While MAPICS XA has been
converted and tested to be Year 2000 compliant, the Company also relies on third
party systems developed by others for many of its critical internal operations.
If these systems are not Year 2000 compliant, it may have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, the Company's internal operations may also be affected by Year 2000
issues affecting third parties with whom the Company has relationships,
including Affiliates, Solution Partners and other vendors (e.g., utilities,
distributors, banks and other suppliers). A Year 2000 problem affecting one or
more of these third parties may also have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

  The Company has assembled a Year 2000 taskforce made up of representatives
from the Company's development, marketing, support, information systems,
facilities, finance and legal departments to assess the Year 2000 readiness of
the Company's internal operations and the readiness of third parties on which it
relies. The taskforce has identified and assessed the Year 2000 readiness of
most of the material information technology (''I/T'') and non-information
technology (''non-I/T'') systems, including fax machines, phone switches and
badge access readers, used internally as part of the Company's operations, but
such work is ongoing. The taskforce has tested or will test these systems where
feasible and practicable. The Company expects testing to be substantially
complete by March 31, 1999. The Company believes that it has the appropriate
plans in place to achieve timely Year 2000

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
readiness for its internal systems. However, the Company's on-going assessment
program may in the future reveal Year 2000 issues which are not currently
identified or fully understood.

  The taskforce has also worked to identify those third parties on which the
Company's operations materially rely. This includes the Company's Affiliates,
Solution Partners and other suppliers. The taskforce has gathered written
materials published by such third parties or otherwise communicated directly
with such third parties in order to determine the Year 2000 readiness of their
business operations or the readiness of the products or services they supply to
the Company. While the taskforce has collected many responses and other
materials from such third parties regarding their Year 2000 readiness, the
process is ongoing. The Company expects to gather materials on all third parties
with whom it relies by June 30, 1999. The Company is not certain that the Year
2000 issue will be properly and timely resolved by all of its suppliers,
Affiliates, or Solution Partners, and if not so resolved, this could have a
material impact on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.

 Company Costs to Address the Year 2000 Issue

  The Company has incurred approximately $330,000 in costs to make its products
and internal systems Year 2000 compliant. It does not expect to incur material
additional costs to remedy any remaining Year 2000 problems with its products
and internal systems. However, the Company cannot currently assess the costs of
remedying problems resulting from the Year 2000 issues of others. If the costs
of remedying these Year 2000 problems proves to be significant, it may have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.

 Risks

  The Company's customer operations are heavily dependent on the constant
availability of telecommunications equipment and other utilities. As a result,
the Company currently believes that the most reasonably likely worst case Year
2000 scenario would involve the temporary interruption of electric power,
telephone or other utility supplies to the Company's headquarters or its other
support operations facilities due to a failure of a utility supplier to be Year
2000 compliant. In addition, despite assurances and testing, it is also possible
that the Company's internal systems or those of its Affiliates or its suppliers
may not be Year 2000 ready. Such failure could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

  In addition, "business interruption" litigation may arise out of the Year
2000 issue. The Company is not aware of any possible claim against it arising
from instances of business interruption. However, the Company is uncertain how
it may be affected by any such litigation. In particular, many of the Company's
applications that are currently in use but were sold before the Company's 1995
application releases are not Year 2000 enabled. These applications are no longer
supported by the Company. While the Company has made Year 2000 enabled
replacement software available to most customers using older applications, it
cannot assure that all of these customers are aware of the Year 2000 issue or
that they have adopted these replacements or other remedies. In addition, it
cannot assure that these customers will not bring Year 2000-related claims
against the Company which, with or without merit, could be time consuming and
expensive for the Company to defend or resolve. Any adverse outcome in any such
litigation could subject the Company to significant liability. As a result,
business interruption litigation could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

 Contingency Plans

  The Company has not yet established a contingency plan to address the most
reasonably likely worst case scenario described above. Because the Company has
not completed the testing of those internal systems which it can test feasibly
and practically, and since it has not received all responses from those
suppliers on which it relies, it has not fully assessed the potential Year 2000
exposures. Accordingly, the Company has not yet fully developed Year 2000
specific contingency plans. These plans will be developed by September 30, 1999,
if the foregoing assessment identifies a material business function that is
substantially at risk.

Cautionary Statements

  The continued assessment, progress and timing of the Company's Year 2000
readiness efforts and potential exposures as described above depend upon the
cooperation and responsiveness of third parties, the accuracy and reliability of
responses provided and testing procedures, and the availability of skilled
resources, both internal and external, to address Year 2000 issues that exist or
may arise. 

                                       14

There can be no assurance that assessments to date will prove to be accurate.
Serious deficiencies which are not currently identified or fully understood may
arise in the future and may have a material adverse impact on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company plans to
continue its taskforce into the Year 2000 to assess Year 2000 issues affecting
the Company, apprise management of the status of its findings and develop
appropriate contingency plans where necessary in an effort to minimize the
potential exposure of the Company to the Year 2000 issue.

 Euro Conversion Issue

  On January 1, 1999, a new currency called the "euro" was introduced in 11 of
the 15 member countries of the European Union (the "Euro Conversion").  In 2002,
each of these participating countries will adopt the euro as their single
currency.  Until that time, however, financial transactions in these
participating countries may be conducted in either the euro or the local
national currency.  As a result, companies operating or conducting business in
these participating countries during this transition period must be able to
process financial transactions in either the euro or the local national
currency.

  The latest release of the Company's product (MAPICS XA Release 5) includes a
solution designed to address the Euro Conversion.  Although this product is
designed to enable companies to process financial transactions in the euro and
the local national currencies, there can be no assurance that it will
satisfactorily address all Euro Conversion issues.  The costs to resolve any
resulting Euro Conversion related errors could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

  The Company, like its customers and others who operate or conduct business in
the participating countries, must be able to process financial transactions in
both the euro and the local national currencies of the participating countries.
To date, the Company has had no financial transactions with its customers,
vendors, Affiliates or others that were denominated in the euro.  Furthermore,
management does not expect such transactions to be commonplace during the
initial phase of the transition to the euro. A Company taskforce charged with
analyzing the effect of the Euro Conversion on the Company's operations has
determined that the Company can timely process a minimal amount of euro-related
transactions without modification to its existing internal systems.  However,
the taskforce believes that over time, as companies adopt the euro as the
preferred currency for certain or all of their business transactions, the
Company will be required to process euro-related transactions in increasing
volume.  The Company currently plans to implement its euro-enabled software
product (MAPICS XA Release 5) before this volume becomes significant.
Management expects that the costs of implementing MAPICS XA Release 5 for its
own use will be insignificant and does not expect to experience significant
conversion and/or operational problems associated with the implementation of its
own software product.  However, if the Company is required to process a
significant amount of financial transactions in the euro before it is able to
implement MAPICS XA Release 5 for its own use, or if subsequently MAPICS XA
Release 5 does not allow the Company to satisfactorily process financial
transactions in the euro, it may result in unforeseen costs or a disruption to
the Company's business, either of which could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

  Management does not believe that the translation of financial transactions
into euros will have a significant effect on the Company's business, financial
condition or results of operations.  The Euro Conversion, however, may have an
impact on economic factors that affect the Company's business, including its
effect on interest rates, exchange rates and contract prices.  Currently,
management believes that its exposure to market risk with respect to financial
instruments is immaterial.  However, the Euro Conversion may create strategic
challenges as companies across Europe adapt to a single transnational currency.
The participating countries' adoption of the euro will likely result in greater
transparency of pricing, making Europe a more competitive environment.  Although
the Company has adapted its European price list to accommodate the introduction
of the euro, it is currently unsure of the potential impact it could have on
competitive conditions in European markets.

 Inflation

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

ITEM 3:  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

  The Company does not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments. The
Company also does not purchase, for investment, hedging or for purposes "other
than trading," instruments that are likely to expose it to market risk, whether
interest rate, foreign currency exchange, commodity price or equity price risk,
except as discussed in the following paragraph. The Company has issued no debt
instruments, entered into no forward or futures contracts, purchased no options
and entered into no swaps, except as discussed in the following paragraph.

  The Company's foreign operations, primarily those in western Europe, generate
cash which is denominated in foreign currencies. At December 31, 1998 and
September 30, 1998, cash denominated in foreign currencies was $1,710,000 and
$2,055,000, respectively. From time to time, the Company enters into forward
exchange contracts as a hedge against the foreign currency exchange risk on cash
and net receivables denominated in certain foreign currencies.  However, the
Company did not enter into any such contracts during the three months ended
December 31, 1998 nor did the Company have any open forward exchange contracts
at December 31, 1998 or September 30, 1998. Moreover, the Company believes that
its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk at December 31, 1998 was not
material.

  The Company has minimal interest rate risk. A change in either the lender's
Base Rate or LIBOR would affect the rate at which the Company could borrow funds
under its revolving credit facility.

Agreement and all documents, instruments and agreements related thereto,
