                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


Note A - Accounting Policies and Presentation

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited;
however, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of
operations for the interim periods. All adjustments made were of a normal
recurring nature. These interim results of operations are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.

        The notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the
Symix Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries' (the "Company") June 30, 1999 Annual
Report to Shareholders should be read in conjunction with these financial
statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior quarter
amounts to the current quarter presentation.

        In the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company adopted Statement of
Position ("SOP") 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition," as amended by SOP 98-4,
which provides guidance on applying generally accepted accounting principles in
recognizing revenue on software transactions. The adoption of the SOPs, in
certain circumstances, has resulted and may in the future result in the deferral
of software license revenues that would have been recognized upon delivery of
the related software under the preceding accounting standard, SOP 91-1.

        In December 1998, SOP 98-9 was issued which modified SOP 97-2 with
respect to certain transactions. The Company adopted SOP 98-9 in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000.

Note B - Acquisitions

        On June 10, 1999 the Company acquired Distribution Architects
International, Inc. ("DAI") for 619,000 common shares of the Company and
$813,000 in cash. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, DAI was merged with and
into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Ohio, and each
share of DAI common stock was converted into the right to receive .1313 common
shares of the Company. Each DAI option outstanding immediately prior to the
merger was canceled and terminated. The holder of each option was entitled to
receive that number of Symix shares equal to $2.17 (the per share value of DAI
stock as agreed to by DAI and Symix) less $1.242 (the stock option exercise
price), multiplied by the number of shares of DAI covered by the option, and
divided by $18.50. DAI is a provider of supply chain management applications for
distribution organizations. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase and
resulted in a one-time, non-recurring charge of $835,000 relating to the write
off of acquired in-process technology of DAI.

                                       8

        The following proforma information shows revenue, net income, and
earnings per share assuming the Company and DAI had been combined at the
beginning of the period indicated. The one time, non-recurring charge of
approximately $835,000 is excluded from proforma net income.

Note C - Business Segment and Geographic Information

        The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information" ("SFAS 131"). SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way
that companies report information about operating segments, geographic areas,
and major customers.

        The Company designs, develops, markets and supports a fully integrated
manufacturing, planning and financial software system. The software was
developed for mid-market, discrete manufacturers. The Company operates
exclusively in this market and therefore only reports on one primary segment.

        The amount of net revenue, operating income (loss), and identifiable
assets attributable to each of the Company's geographic areas for the quarter
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, were as follows:

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

OVERVIEW

        Symix Systems, Inc. ("Symix" or the "Company") designs, develops,
markets and supports integrated manufacturing, supply chain management,
financial and e-commerce software solutions that address the enterprise
requirements of mid-size manufacturing and distribution companies and business
units of larger companies.

REVENUE

        Symix's net revenue is derived primarily from (1) licensing Symix
software and providing custom programming services; (2) providing installation,
implementation, training, consulting and systems integration services; and (3)
providing maintenance and support on a subscription basis. Revenue for all
periods presented is accounted for in accordance with AICPA Statement of
Position 97-2 on Software Revenue Recognition.

        Net revenue was $32.1 million for the three months ended September 30,
1999, an increase of 19% from the same quarter in the previous year. The overall
increase is attributable to the growth of the service, maintenance and support
revenue for the quarter of $18.7 million, an increase of 51% from the same
period last year; offset by an 8% decline in license fee revenue for the
quarter.

        Symix continues to be impacted by the industry-wide trend of delays in
new business system purchases due to the Year 2000 market dynamics. As a result
of this trend, license fee revenue declined 8% from $14.5 million at September
30, 1998 to $13.4 million at September 30, 1999.

        Service, maintenance and support revenue increased 51% from $12.4
million at September 30, 1998 to $18.7 million at September 30, 1999. The
significant increase is the result of expansion of the services infrastructure
to meet the increase in new software license customers which occurred during
prior quarters, as well as the expanding product line. Additionally, the
acquisition of Distribution Architects International, Inc. ("DAI"), which
occurred late in the fourth quarter of last year, contributed to the increase in
service, maintenance and support revenue for the current quarter.

                                       11
<PAGE>   12
COST OF REVENUE

        Total cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue was 45% for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999, compared to 38% for the quarter ended
September 30, 1998. The increase is due to the mix of license fee versus
service, maintenance and support revenue. Higher costs are associated with
producing service, maintenance and support revenue. During the quarter ended
September 30, 1999, service, maintenance and support revenue accounted for 58%
of the revenue, compared to 46% for the quarter ended September 30, 1998.

        Cost of license fees includes royalties, amortization of capitalized
software development costs and software delivery expenses. Cost of license fees
increased to 32% of license fee revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1999
from 27% for the same period last year. The percentage increase is attributable
to the increase in the rate of amortization on capitalized software expenses
relative to license fee revenue. Symix began amortizing capitalized software
costs related to the new product initiative, SyteCentre, during the end of the
1999 fiscal year.

        Cost of service, maintenance and support includes the personnel and
related overhead costs for implementation, training, and customer support
services, together with fees paid to third parties for subcontracted services.
Cost of service, maintenance and support increased to 54% of service,
maintenance and support revenue from 51% for the same period last year. The
increase in costs is due to the increase in use of subcontractors to supplement
the work performed by Symix employees during the quarter ended September 30,
1999 compared to the same quarter last year. In general, the use of
subcontractors results in lower margins than the use of employees but provides
to Symix increased flexibility in meeting customer demands.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

        Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of personnel and
related overhead costs, including commissions for the sales, marketing, general
and administrative activities of Symix, together with advertising and
promotional costs. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased 8% for
the quarter ended September 30, 1999 and, as a percentage of revenue, decreased
from 47% at September 30, 1998 to 36% at September 30, 1999. The decrease in
selling, general and administrative expenses is related to the increase in
percentage of service, maintenance and support revenue versus license fees
revenue in the net revenue mix as well as a reduction of expenses in the sales
distribution channels in response to difficult market conditions.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

        Research and product development expenses include personnel and related
overhead costs for product development, enhancement, upgrades, quality assurance
and testing. Research and product development expenditures, including amounts
capitalized for the three months ended September 30, 1999, were $4.7 million
compared to $3.3 million for the same period last year. Capitalization of
software development costs was $1.1 million for each quarter ended September 30,
1999 and 1998. As a percentage of revenue, net of software capitalized, research
and product

                                       12
<PAGE>   13
development expense increased from 8% for the quarter ended September 30, 1998,
to 11% for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. In terms of actual dollars,
research and product development expense increased 64%. The increase in research
and development expenditures is the result of investments in the expanding
product offerings, including the integration of DAI's product line into the
Symix product suite.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

        The effective tax rates for the quarters ended September 30, 1999 and
1998 were 39% and 40%, respectively. Historically the increase in the effective
tax rate has been due to the amount of foreign taxable earnings in countries
with higher effective rates and the non-deductibility of the amortization of
intangibles, thereby increasing Symix's overall tax rate. Symix recently has
implemented a tax restructuring plan to lower state income tax rates which is
expected to slightly lower the overall effective tax rate.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Symix's operating activities provided cash of $815,000 during the three
month period ended September 30, 1999 compared to the use of $2.3 million in
cash during the same period in 1998. In both periods, cash provided by operating
activities was due principally to earnings and increases in deferred revenues
and non-cash charges, offset by the decrease in trade and tax payables related
to year end. During the quarter ended September 30, 1999, cash also was provided
by a decrease in trade accounts receivable. The accounts receivable days sales
outstanding (DSO) was 104 days at September 30, 1998 compared to 110 days at
September 30, 1999. Typically the DSO's for the first quarter of the fiscal year
increase as a result of the carryover from the strong fourth quarter, as well as
a general slowdown in the summer months causing most of the business to close in
the second quarter towards the end of the third month. For both periods
presented cash provided by financing activities was used to fund software
development costs and to purchase computer equipment.

        As of September 30, 1999, the Company had $23.9 million in working
capital, including $4.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company had
accessed its $15.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit for $6.5 million
as of September 30, 1999. It is expected that the continued expansion of the
Company's operations and product line will result in additional requirements for
cash in the future, which will be met through operations and the existing line
of credit.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

        Symix faces "Year 2000 compliance" issues similar to those faced by
other companies in the information technology industry. Year 2000 compliance
issues typically arise with respect to computer software systems and programs
that use only two digits, rather than four digits, to represent a particular
year. Consequently, these systems and programs may not process dates beyond the
year 1999 and may result in miscalculations or system failures. Year 2000

                                       13
<PAGE>   14
compliance problems also may arise in embedded systems, such as environmental
system controls, elevators and other products that use microprocessors or
computer chips.

        The Company's current product and service offerings, including those
products developed and supported by third party software vendors, have been
designed to be Year 2000 compliant. New products also are being designed by the
Company to be Year 2000 compliant. The Company's existing contracts with active
customers (e.g., customers with effective maintenance and support agreements
with the Company) cover recent software products that are Year 2000 compliant or
for which a Year 2000 ready upgrade is available, or do not expressly obligate
the Company to furnish an updated release that is Year 2000 compliant. The
Company has communicated with its customers regarding Year 2000 compliance,
notifying them of the availability of upgraded or new releases of the Company's
products which are Year 2000 compliant for certain older software products
released by the Company which may still be in use by them. In certain cases, the
Company has warranted that the Company's current software product offerings are
Year 2000 ready when specifically requested by the customer. Although the
software products currently offered by the Company have been tested for Year
2000 readiness, any failure of the Company's software products to perform,
including the failure to process dates beyond the year 2000, could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.

        The Company has substantially completed its assessment of selected third
parties, including key suppliers, subcontractors, business partners and
customers regarding their Year 2000 readiness. To the extent that the Company
uses third party products or technology in its computer software products, the
Company has obtained confirmation of Year 2000 compliance from such third party
providers. A failure of one or more of such suppliers, subcontractors, business
partners or customers to sufficiently address their Year 2000 compliance issues
could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results
of operations.

        The Company also has substantially completed its review of its internal
computer information system and non-computer systems, such as telecommunications
equipment, building elevators, etc., which contain embedded computer technology,
to determine whether such systems are Year 2000 compliant. Most of the embedded
systems on which the Company relies in its daily operations are owned and
managed by the lessors of the facilities in which the Company's operations are
located, or by agents of such lessors. The Company presently believes that such
systems are Year 2000 compliant. The Company is less certain of the Year 2000
readiness of third parties who provide external services, such as public
utilities, which could adversely impact the Company's operations. For example,
the failure or interruption of electrical services would disrupt the Company's
ability to communicate with its customers, suppliers, business partners and
others. The Company does not anticipate any material costs associated with Year
2000 compliance relating to its internal computer information system or
non-computer systems.

                                       14
<PAGE>   15
        All costs related to Year 2000 issues are being expensed by the Company.
The Company does not expect that the total costs of evaluation and compliance
with the Company's Year 2000 issues will be material.
