1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information, the general instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1997
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended March 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the

2.       SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

At September 30, 1997 the Company held certain short-term investments in
marketable debt and equity securities which it classified as held-to-maturity.
Held-to-maturity securities represent those securities that the Company has both
the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, and are carried at
amortized cost. Securities with a maturity date within one year are classified
as short-term investments as a part of Current Assets and are stated at fair
value plus accrued interest. Net unrealized losses on held-to-maturity
securities have not been recognized in the accompanying financial statements.
There were no realized gains or losses for the three and six month periods ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996.


3.       INVENTORIES

4.       LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss)
applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of outstanding shares
of common stock during the applicable periods. Common stock equivalents
consisting of the Company's stock options and warrants are included in the
calculation of net income (loss) per common share if their effect is dilutive.


5.       LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On April 25, 1996 the Company and certain of its officers and directors were
named in a class action lawsuit. The complaint alleges violations of Section 11,
12(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, violations of the Georgia Securities
Act and negligent misrepresentation arising out of alleged disclosure
deficiencies in connection with the Company's initial public offering which was
completed on November 10, 1995. The complaint seeks compensatory damages and
reimbursements for plaintiff's fees and expenses. The Company and its officers
and directors have been and intend to continue to defend vigorously against the
allegations. The Company cannot estimate the impact of the outcome of the
lawsuit on the financial condition or results of operations.


6.       SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

investment investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash
payments for the six months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 include interest

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

GENERAL

The following information should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto and in conjunction with Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.

A.D.A.M. Software, Inc. ("A.D.A.M." or the "Company") creates, publishes and
markets educational multimedia software products, services, content and
Internet-ready applications that provide anatomical, medical, scientific and
health-related information for the academic, consumer and healthcare markets.
A.D.A.M. products incorporate internally developed, original medical
illustrations with text, audio, photography, animation and video in easy-to-use,
interactive software applications.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


REVENUES. Total net revenues increased 95% to $1,773,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 compared to $911,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, primarily attributable to increased unit pricing for the 
Company's recently released flagship academic market title, ADAM Interactive
Anatomy, compared to discounted pricing in 1996 for the ADAM Comprehensive
product, and increased royalty revenues.  For the six months ended September
30, 1997, total net revenues increased 79% to $3,511,000 compared to $1,961,000
for the six months ended September 30, 1996 due to increased unit pricing and
sales for the Company's recently released flagship academic market title, ADAM
Interactive Anatomy, compared to discounted pricing in 1996 for the replaced
ADAM Comprehensive product consumer product returns and allowances during
1996, and increased unit pricing for the Company's recently released flagship
academic market title, ADAM Interactive Anatomy.

COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues decreased 2% to $317,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 from $324,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 due to a decrease in customer support costs, offset by
increases in royalty expenses and capitalized software amortization for the
1997 quarter. For the six months ended September 30, 1997, cost of revenues
decreased 15% to $560,000 compared to $655,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 1996 due to decreased inventory valuation adjustments and
customer support costs, offset by increases in royalty and capitalized software
amortization costs. As a percentage of total net revenues, cost of revenues
decreased to 18% for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from 36% for the
three months ended September 30, 1996, primarily due to increased sales of the
Company's higher priced, newly released flagship academic product, ADAM
Interactive Anatomy during the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared
with lower priced ADAM Comprehensive sales during the three months ended
September 30, 1996, and partially a result of the Company's assignment of
consumer product distribution rights in March, 1997 which resulted in the
termination of sales made by the Company directly to the consumers. As a
percentage of total net revenue, cost of revenues decreased to 16% for the six
months ended September 30, 1997 compared to 33% for the six months ended
September 30, 1996.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (continued)


SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 33% to $755,000 for

months ended September 30, 1996. Sales and marketing expenses for the three and
six months ended September 30, 1996 included approximately $362,000 and
$1,026,000, respectively, in marketing and advertising costs associated with
the promotion, distribution, and sale of consumer products, the majority of
which were absorbed in the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1997
by the Company's third party consumer product licensee. As a percentage of
total net revenues, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 43% for both the
three and six month periods ended September 30, 1997 compared to 123% and 124%
for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1996, respectively.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT. Product development expenses decreased 38% to $411,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $661,000 for the three months

ended September 30, 1997 compared to $1,539,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 1996. The decrease in product development costs for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the three months ended September
30, 1996 was primarily attributable to decreases of approximately $156,000 in
compensation and consulting costs. The decrease in product development costs
for the six months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the six months ended
September 30, 1996 was primarily attributable to decreases of approximately

approximately $144,000, in development costs capitalized. As a percentage of
total net revenues, product development expenses decreased to 23% and 22% for

to 73% and 78% for the three months and six months ended September 30, 1996,
respectively.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses decreased 59%
to $283,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $696,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 primarily due to decreased professional
fees, reduction of bad debt expense, and from decreased rent and compensation  
costs due to the Company's restructuring at the end of the second fiscal
quarter of 1997. For the six months ended September 30, 1997, general and
administrative expenses decreased 56% to $579,000 compared to $1,304,000 for
the six months ended September 30, 1996. These decreases were a result of

rent and compensation costs due to the Company's restructuring at the end of
the second fiscal quarter of 1997. As a percentage of total net revenues,
general and administrative expenses decreased to 16% for both the three and six
months ended September 30, 1997 compared to 76% and 66% for the three months
and six months ended September 30, 1996, respectively.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGE. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $490,000 in
the three months ended September 30, 1996 which consisted primarily of severance
benefits and, to a lesser extent, space reduction costs associated with the
Company's cost reduction program implemented in September, 1996.

As a result of the above factors, operating income increased $2,392,000 to a
profit of $7,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from a loss of
$2,385,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996. For the six months
ended September 30, 1997, operating income increased $4,526,000 to a profit of
