NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
     been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
     for interim financial statements and include all adjustments (consisting
     only of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary
     for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and
     cash flows for those periods. Results for the interim periods are not
     necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. These condensed
     consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, should be read in
     conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year
     ended December 31, 1995 included in the Walker Interactive Systems, Inc.
     Annual Report on Form 10-K. Reclassifications have been made to prior
     years' amounts in order to conform to the 1996 presentation.
     
2.   ACQUISITION OF HUNT SYSTEMS GROUP, INC.

     On May 17, 1996, the Company acquired the business and net assets of Hunt
     Systems Group, Inc. ("Hunt") for a total cash acquisition price of
     $3,759,000 comprised of $2,109,000 payable at closing, $1,550,000 payable
     based on achievement of certain performance targets during the four year
     period following closing and $100,000 in transaction costs.  Additional
     amounts will be paid if further performance targets are reached during the
     same four year period.  Of the purchase price, $190,000 was allocated to
     identifiable net tangible assets, $785,000 was allocated to purchased
     software and $2,784,000 was allocated to in-process research and
     development.  The amount of the purchase price allocated to in-process
     research and development was charged to the Company's operations in the
     second quarter of 1996, because technical feasibility had not been
     established and no alternative future uses existed at the acquisition date.

     The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction.  The
     intangible assets are being amortized ratably, starting from the date of
     acquisition, over a period not to exceed three years. The results of
     operations of Hunt, from the date of acquisition, are included in the
     Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and were not material to the
     results of operations of the Company.

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

Any forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion or
elsewhere in this document involve risks and uncertainties which may cause
actual results to differ materially from those discussed.  A wide range of
factors could contribute to those differences, including those discussed below
and in the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Annual Report for the
year ended December 31, 1995.

Overview
- --------

The Company derives its revenues primarily from software license fees, software
maintenance fees, and professional consulting service fees.  The Company's
software is licensed primarily to Fortune 1000 companies and similarly-sized
business and governmental organizations worldwide.  Professional consulting
services are provided in conjunction with software products.  The Company's
products and services are marketed through its sales forces located in the
United States, the United Kingdom, and the Pacific Rim.

The Company licenses software products directly to customers and occasionally to
distributors for resale.  Software license fees are recognized upon delivery of
the software, following receipt of a noncancellable license agreement.  The
portion of revenues from new license agreements which relate to the Company's
obligation to provide customer support are deferred and recognized ratably over
the contract support period, which is generally one year.  Software maintenance
contracts are generally renewable on an annual basis, although the Company also
negotiates longer-term maintenance contracts from time to time.  Revenues from
maintenance contract renewals are deferred and recognized ratably over the term
of the agreement.  Revenues from professional service fees are recognized as the
related services are provided.

The Company's revenues and operating results are subject to quarterly and other
fluctuations resulting from a variety of factors, including the effect of
budgeting and purchasing practices of its customers, the length of the customer
evaluation process for the Company's products, the timing of customer system
conversions, general economic conditions, and other factors.  Operating results
will continue to be heavily influenced by the level of license sales.  During
1995 and the three months and six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company
experienced license revenue levels significantly below historical levels.  The
Company's professional services revenues tend to fluctuate due to completion or
commencement of significant projects (which may continue over multiple
quarters), the number of working days in a quarter, the utilization rate of
consulting services personnel and the activity level of new license
implementations which provide new consulting opportunities.

Quarterly revenues and operating results depend primarily on the volume and
timing of orders received during the quarter, which are difficult to forecast.
The Company has often realized a substantial portion of its license revenues in
the last month of the quarter.  Therefore, the Company may not be able to reduce
expense levels in response to revenue shortfalls to prevent operating results in
a particular quarter from falling below expectations.  These factors may also
cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter.  The
Company believes 

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
that quarter to quarter comparisons of its financial results are not necessarily
meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

Acquisition
- -----------

On May 17, 1996, the Company acquired the business and net assets of Hunt
Systems Group, Inc. ("Hunt") for a total cash acquisition price of $3,759,000
comprised of $2,109,000 payable at closing, $1,550,000 payable based on
achievement of certain performance targets during the four year period following
closing and $100,000 in transaction costs.  Additional amounts will be paid if
further performance targets are reached during the same four year period.  Of
the purchase price, $190,000 was allocated to identifiable net tangible assets,
$785,000 was allocated to purchased software and $2,784,000 was allocated to in-
process research and development.  The amount of the purchase price allocated to
in-process research and development was charged to the Company's operations in
the second quarter of 1996, because technical feasibility had not been
established and no alternative future uses existed at the acquisition date.

The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction.  The intangible
assets are being amortized ratably, starting from the date of acquisition, over
a period not to exceed three years. The results of operations of Hunt, from the
date of acquisition, are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Operations and were not material to the results of operations of the Company.

</TABLE>

Revenues.

The Company's second quarter revenues of $15,376,000 increased 13 percent over
the second quarter revenues of the prior year.  The increase reflects revenue
growth of 13 percent in North American operations and 15 percent in the United
Kingdom, partially offset by a 2 percent reduction in revenues in the Pacific
Rim region.  The Company's revenues for the first six months of 1996 declined
3 percent compared to the same period in 1995.

The increase in revenues for the second quarter of 1996 is attributable to an
increase in license fee revenues which were $2,273,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 compared to $693,000 

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
for the same period in 1995. For the first six months of 1996, license fee
revenues decreased 9 percent from the comparable 1995 period. Demand for
software applications remains unpredictable and past performance is not an
indication of current or future license fee revenue trends.

Maintenance revenues of $6,687,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 decreased
7 percent compared to the same period in 1995.  The Company's revenues from
maintenance for the first six months of 1996 decreased 7 percent to $13,440,000
from $14,399,000 in 1995.

Revenues for consulting and other services of $6,416,000 for the second quarter
of 1996 increased 11 percent from the second quarter of 1995.  For the six
months ended June 30, 1996, consulting and other services revenue increased 2
percent from the comparable period in 1995.  The increase in consulting and
other services is primarily attributable to an increase of services provided to
the existing customer base and to the increase in license fee sales during
recent quarters, which provide the Company with consulting opportunities.
Consulting and other services revenue is generally derived from users of the
Company's products.

Expenses.

Operating expense remained relatively flat at $18,117,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1996, compared to $18,379,000 for the same period in 1995.  For
the first six months of 1996, operating expenses of $32,744,000 decreased 4
percent from $34,220,000 in 1995.  During the first half 1996, the Company had a
charge of $2.8 million related to the write-off of purchased in-process research
and development and $1,095,000 for bad debt and senior management changes.
During the first half of the prior year, the Company had charges of $2,602,000
which primarily consisted of costs related to an office consolidation in the
United Kingdom, additions to bad debt reserve, costs associated with senior
management changes and other reserves.  Excluding these charges, 1996 operating
expenses decreased 9 percent from the six month period in 1995.  The decrease in
operating expenses was primarily a result of the Company's efforts to reduce
expenses beginning in the second half of 1995.

The cost of maintenance, consulting and other services for the quarter ended
June 30, 1996 of $5,804,000 decreased by 13 percent from $6,634,000 for the same
period in 1995.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996, cost of maintenance,
consulting and other services expenses of $11,408,000 decreased 12 percent from
$13,030,000 from the same period 1995.

The following table shows the percentage of total maintenance, consulting, and
other services costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
as they relate to maintenance, consulting and other services revenues:

<PAGE>
 
The decrease in cost of maintenance, consulting and other services from the
prior year is primarily due to a decrease in headcount and an increase in
employee utilization.

Amortization of capitalized software costs for the second quarter of 1996 of
$956,000 decreased 4 percent from $998,000 for the same period in 1995.
Expenses related to the amortization of capitalized software costs decreased 13
percent to $1,717,000 in the first six months of 1996 from $1,976,000 in the
comparable 1995 period.  The decrease in amortization of capitalized software
costs is due to previously released products becoming fully amortized at the end
of the first quarter of 1996,  partially offset by additional amortization for
recent software releases.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased during the second quarter of 1996 by 14
percent to $3,224,000 from $3,738,000 for the comparable period in 1995.  For
the six months ended June 30, 1996, expenses for sales and marketing of
$6,103,000 decreased 13 percent from $7,049,000 in the comparable 1995 period.
The decrease in sales and marketing expense is primarily a result of increased
marketing and promotions and costs associated with changes in senior management
during the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995.  Selling and
marketing costs fluctuate as a result of the timing of product releases,
promotional activities and other factors.  Sales and marketing expenses are
expected to increase as the Company continues to promote its products and as
variable selling expenses increase if license revenues continue to grow.

Product development expenses decreased 13 percent to $2,953,000 for the second
quarter of 1996 compared to $3,391,000 for the same period in 1995, representing
19 percent and 25 percent of total revenues in such periods, respectively.
Expenses for product development for the first six months of 1996 of $5,872,000
decreased 11 percent from $6,581,000 for the same period in 1995, representing
20 percent and 21 percent of total revenues in such periods, respectively.  The
decrease is primarily a result of lower costs associated with reduced employee
turnover and a shift from temporary to permanent employees.  In order to
actively compete in the market of financial applications, the Company will
continue to invest in research and development of new and existing products and
technology.

General and administrative expenses decreased 34 percent during the second
quarter of 1996 to $2,396,000 from $3,618,000 for the second quarter of 1995.
For the six months ended June 30, 1996, general and administrative expenses
decreased 13 percent from the comparable prior year period to $4,860,000 from
$5,584,000.  General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June
30, 1996 include $1,095,000 for bad debt reserves and costs associated with
senior management changes.  Included in the general and administrative expenses
for the six months ended June 30, 1995, was $2,549,000 of expense accruals for
an office consolidation in the United Kingdom, additions to bad debt reserve,
costs associated with a senior management change and other reserves. Excluding
the first half of 1996 and 1995 expense accruals, 1996 general and
administration expenses have increased by 24 percent from the six month period
ended June 30, 1995. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in
labor related costs as the Company invests in senior management and develops
infrastructure and business processes.

Income tax expense/benefit is recorded based on the Company's estimated
effective income tax rate for the year.  The Company currently estimates that
the 1996 effective income tax rate will be zero percent.  This rate reflects the
effect of the charge for purchased in-process research and development.  For the
six months ended June 30, 1995, the Company estimated a 33 percent income tax
benefit.  The Company's effective income tax rates are significantly influenced
by the

proportion of tax-exempt income to taxable income/loss and the generation of
state research credits.

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

Cash flows vary from quarter to quarter due to negotiated terms on perpetual
license agreements and the timing of maintenance agreement anniversary dates.
Cash flows from operating activities are also affected by the payment of bonuses
and commissions which are tied to performance objectives and payments received
on perpetual license agreements.

The Company's operating activities provided cash of $2,598,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $5,049,000 provided in the same period of
1995.  The decrease was primarily due to a result of an increase in accounts
receivable and other working capital changes.

Net cash used by financing activities was $631,000 during the six months ended
June 30, 1996 compared to $16,000 provided during the same period of 1995.  The
decrease from the prior year is primarily attributable to the purchase of shares
of treasury stock offset by proceeds from the Company's employee stock purchase
plan and exercise of employee stock options

The Company intends to continue to utilize a portion of its cash to repurchase
shares of its common stock.  The Board of Directors has authorized the
repurchase of 800,000 shares, not to exceed a total cost of $6,000,000.  The
shares are being repurchased for use in connection with the Company's employee
stock purchase plan and one of its employee stock option plans.  The volume of
shares repurchased will vary from quarter to quarter.  As of June 30, 1996, the
Company has acquired 202,000 shares of its common stock at a cost of $2,032,000
for this purpose.

As of June 30, 1996, the Company had cash and equivalents and short- and long-
term investments totaling $39,142,000 compared to $42,318,000 at December 31,
1995.  The decrease is primarily attributable to the Company's acquisition of
Hunt Systems Group, Inc. which reduced cash by $2,109,000 and the use of cash to
repurchase shares of common stock in the amount of $1,650,000.  As of June 30,
1996, the Company had $19,004,000 in working capital compared to $21,539,000 at
December 31, 1995.  The decrease in working capital from December 31, 1995, is
due to the decrease in cash and equivalents and short- and long-term investments
and by an increase in current liabilities.

The Company has a line of credit with a financial institution in the amount of
$3,000,000, secured by marketable securities.  The line of credit expires on
June 30, 1997.  No borrowings were outstanding under the line as of June 30,
1996.

As of June 30, 1996, the Company's principal source of liquidity included cash,
cash equivalents and short- and long-term investments aggregating $39,142,000.
The Company believes that such amounts, together with expected funds from
operations, will satisfy the Company's currently anticipated working capital and
capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Factors Affecting Operating Performance and Stock Price
- -------------------------------------------------------

The Company's future net income and stock price could be subject to significant
fluctuations, particularly on a quarterly basis.  The Company's revenues and net
income are difficult to predict because of the timing of significant sales of
the Company's products. The Company has experienced a disproportionately large
percentage of sales in the third fiscal month of each quarter.  A shortfall in
sales at the end of any particular quarter may cause the results for that
quarter to fall significantly short of anticipated levels.

The Company generates revenue from internally developed software products of
which certain products utilize technology licensed from third parties.  If
revenue growth or mix changes increase disproportionately from the sales of
software utilizing third party technology, operating income as a percent of
revenue may be below historical levels due to third party royalty obligations.

The Company expects sales and marketing expenses to increase in the future as
the Company releases and promotes new products, increases promotions of existing
product lines, and continues to build its sales force.  However, because of the
lengthy sales cycle associated with software applications, the Company believes
that the impact of these activities, if any, on future license fee revenues will
not be immediate and there can be no assurance that increased sales and
marketing spending will result in increased revenues.

The Company expects product development expenses to grow in future periods to
fund development efforts on new and existing products.  Although the Company may
be able to release new products in addition to enhancements to existing
products, there can be no assurance that the Company's new or upgraded products
will be accepted, will not be delayed or canceled, or will not contain errors or
"bugs" that could affect the performance of the product or cause damage to
users' data.

As a result of the foregoing factors and other factors which may arise in the
future, the market price of the Company's common stock may be subject to
significant fluctuations over a short period of time.  These fluctuations may be
due to factors specific to the Company, to changes in analysts' earnings
estimates or to other factors affecting the computer industry or the securities
market in general.
