Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 1999, reporting the acquisition

set forth in the pages attached hereto:



<PAGE>



ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On July 23, 1999, QRS Corporation ("QRS" or the "Company") entered into a Stock
Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with Retail Data Services, Inc., a Virginia
corporation ("Retail Data"), pursuant to which QRS acquired all of the issued
and outstanding shares of Retail Data and its affiliate, RDS, Inc., a Virginia
corporation (collectively "RDS"). A copy of the Agreement has previously been
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is hereby incorporated by
reference.

The acquisition was effected through the issuance of 53,250 shares of QRS common
stock valued at $2.8 million and payment of $15.0 million in cash, in exchange
for all of the stock of RDS outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of
the transaction. As described in detail in the Agreement, additional
consideration of $3.0 million will be payable to the seller if revenue targets
are achieved in 1999 and 2000 from the acquired business. The amount of such
consideration was determined based upon arms-length negotiations between QRS and
RDS. The purpose of the acquisition is to expand into the grocery retail market.
The acquisition is being accounted for as a purchase transaction.

QRS filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on August 20, 1999 to permit the resale of the outstanding shares
issued in connection with the acquisition of RDS. A copy of the press release
announcing the acquisition of RDS has previously been filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission and is hereby incorporated by reference.

                        ----------------------------




Board of Directors
Retail Data Services, Inc. and Affiliate:

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Retail Data Services,
Inc. and Affiliate (S Corporations) as of December 31, 1998, and the related
combined statements of earnings, changes in stockholder's equity, and cash flows
for the year then ended. These combined financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Retail Data
Services, Inc. and Affiliate as of December 31, 1998, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

As disclosed in Note 8 to the combined financial statements, all of the
outstanding common stock of Retail Data Services, Inc. and Affiliate was
acquired by QRS Corporation on July 23, 1999.

                     RETAIL DATA SERVICES, INC. AND AFFILIATE
                      Notes to Combined Financial Statements
                          Year Ended December 31, 1998


(1)      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         (a)      GENERAL

                  Retail Data Services, Inc. ("Retail Data") and RDS, Inc.
                  ("RDS"), (collectively referred to as the "Companies") are
                  located in Henrico County, Virginia. The Companies provide
                  competitive retail pricing information to their customers in
                  the grocery business, who are located throughout the United
                  States. Services are generally rendered under fixed-price
                  contracts with one year terms. RDS provides payroll and
                  management services to Retail Data under terms of a contract
                  described in Note 4. Retail Data and RDS were each solely
                  owned by Christine B. Cottrell (the "Stockholder") at December
                  31, 1998 (see Note 8).

         (b)      PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION

                  The combined financial statements include the accounts of the
                  Companies. All material intercompany transactions have been
                  eliminated in the combined statements.

         (c)      REVENUE AND COST RECOGNITION

                  Revenues are recognized on the specific performance method, as
                  services are rendered. All costs are charged to expense as
                  incurred.

         (d)      PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

                  Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is
                  computed over tax lives (which approximate estimated useful
                  lives) ranging from 3 to 7 years using both straight-line and
                  accelerated methods.

         (e)      CAPITALIZED PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT COSTS

                  Retail Data is developing a computer software product to be
                  sold, leased or otherwise marketed to its customers. Costs
                  incurred to establish the technological feasibility of this
                  product have been charged to expense. Costs incurred
                  subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility
                  have been capitalized. The product was not ready for general
                  release to customers at December 31, 1998; no amortization of
                  the related development costs has been recorded through
                  December 31, 1998.

         (f)      INCOME TAXES

                  The Companies have elected to be taxed under the provisions of
                  Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the
                  Companies would not generally pay federal or state corporate
                  income taxes. Instead, the Stockholder is liable for
                  individual federal and state income taxes on the Companies'
                  tax attributes. It is the policy of the Companies to make cash
                  distributions to the Stockholder in amounts sufficient to pay
                  taxes resulting from the pass-through of tax attributes.

         (g)      USE OF ESTIMATES

                  Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing
                  financial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect
                  the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure
                  of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported
                  revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ materially
                  from those reported.

(2)      PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

         Property and equipment at December 31, 1998 are as follows (in
thousands):

                                                                 -----------

                                                                 -----------
</TABLE>

(3)      BANK LINE OF CREDIT

                  In February 1997, Retail Data obtained a $200,000 line of
                  credit from a commercial bank (the "Bank Note"). The Bank Note
                  was modified in December of 1997 to increase the maximum
                  permitted amount to $750,000 and to extend the due date to
                  January 15, 1999. The Bank Note was renewed in January 1999 at
                  substantially similar terms with a due date of January 15,
                  2000. Interest on the Bank Note is payable monthly at the
                  prime rate of interest plus .5%. The applicable prime rate of
                  interest at December 31, 1998 is 7.75%. The Bank Note is
                  secured by all accounts receivable of Retail Data and the
                  personal guarantees of the Stockholder and the Stockholder's
                  spouse (the "Guarantors"). Outstanding borrowings under the
                  Bank Note total $494,000 at December 31, 1998.

                  The Bank Note contains various covenants. It is the opinion of
                  management that Retail Data and the Guarantors are in
                  compliance with these provisions.

(4)      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

                  RDS provides payroll and management services to Retail Data
                  under a contract. The terms of the contract provide for Retail
                  Data to compensate RDS for services rendered on a monthly
                  basis, based on employee time incurred, plus a monthly fixed
                  charge. Total fees paid by Retail Data to RDS in 1998 were
                  $4,283,000. These fees are eliminated in the accompanying
                  combined statement of earnings.

                  The Companies are related through common ownership with D.C.
                  Trell, LLC ("D.C. Trell"). Retail Data leases real property
                  from D.C. Trell as described in Note 5.

                  Note receivable from related party at December 31, 1998
                  consists of a $144,000 unsecured, demand loan from Retail Data
                  to D.C. Trell, with interest income of $8,000 for the year
                  ended December 31, 1998, calculated at the applicable federal
                  rate. The applicable federal rate at December 31, 1998 was
                  5.63%.

(5)      COMMITMENTS

                  Retail Data leases the real property used in operations from
                  D.C. Trell (see Note 4) on a month-to-month basis. The lease
                  requires Retail Data to pay for any repairs or alterations to
                  the leased premises. Rent expense under the lease was $88,000
                  for the year ended December 31, 1998.

                  Retail Data leases certain equipment under noncancellable
                  operating leases that expire over the next four years. Future
                  minimum rental payments required under these leases are as
                  follows (in thousands):

                  Retail Data has agreements with two key employees, under which
                  the employees could be provided additional compensation upon
                  the sale of substantially all of the assets or any of the
                  outstanding stock of Retail Data. The amount of such
                  compensation would be based on the net proceeds of such sale
                  subject to possible conditions of forfeiture (see Note 8).

(6)      CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

                  The Companies perform ongoing credit evaluations of their
                  customers' financial conditions and, generally, require no
                  collateral. The three largest customers accounted for
                  approximately 18% of 1998 revenues and 28% of accounts
                  receivable at December 31, 1998.

(7)      YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED)

                  The Companies are in the process of reviewing and modifying
                  their information systems to ensure that the Companies'
                  information technology will recognize the year 2000. The cost
                  of the project is not expected to have a significant effect on
                  the Companies' results of operations or financial position.

(8)      SUBSEQUENT EVENT

                  All of the outstanding common stock of the Companies was
                  acquired by QRS Corporation on July 23, 1999.

                  Under the terms of agreements with two key employees (see
                  Note 5), $1,719,000 in additional compensation was paid to the
                  employees upon the sale of the Companies' outstanding common
                  stock.

                   Notes to Unaudited Combined Financial Statements
                            Six Months Ended June 30, 1999

(1)      NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         Retail Data Services, Inc. and RDS, Inc. (collectively referred to as
         the "Companies") provide competitive retail pricing information to
         their customers in the grocery business, who are located throughout the
         United States. Services are generally rendered under fixed-price
         contracts with one year terms.

         The accompanying unaudited combined balance sheet and combined
         statements of earnings and cash flows have been prepared in accordance
         with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
         information. Such interim combined financial statements do not include
         all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
         accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
         of management, all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal
         recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
         been included. These combined financial statements should be read in
         conjunction with the Companies' audited combined financial statements
         and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1998 included
         elsewhere in this Form 8-K/A.

(2)      SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         On July 23, 1999, QRS Corporation acquired all of the outstanding
         common stock of the Companies.

         Under the terms of agreements with two key employees, $1,719,000 in
         additional compensation was paid to the employees upon the sale of the
         Companies' outstanding common stock.

         comprised of $15,000,000 paid in cash; $3,000,000 in deferred
         compensation to the seller; 53,250 shares of common stock valued at
         $2,762,610 of which 11,000 shares of common stock were issued from the
         Company's treasury account; liabilities assumed of $171,210 and
         $250,000 in transaction costs related to the acquisition. Under the
         terms of the Agreement, the Company is required to pay $2,000,000 and
         $1,000,000 in March 2000 and 2001, respectively to the seller if
         revenue from the acquired business meets or exceeds certain levels in
         1999 and 2000. Management has determined, based on the results of its
         analysis that it is highly probable that revenue from the acquired
         business will exceed the established levels, and accordingly, the
         deferred payments to the seller have been included in the acquisition
         cost. The total acquisition cost was allocated to the estimated fair
         value of assets acquired based on an independent appraisal.

         The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
         statements of QRS Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") give
         effect to the acquisition of all of the outstanding common stock of RDS
         on July 23, 1999. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase
         method of accounting, which requires the purchase price to be allocated
         to the acquired assets and liabilities assumed of RDS on the basis of
         their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The
         following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet
         gives effect to the acquisition of RDS as if it had occurred on June
         30, 1999, and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements
         of earnings and comprehensive earnings (collectively, the "Unaudited
         Pro Forma Financial Information") reflects the results of operations of
         the Company for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 and the fiscal
         year ended December 31, 1998 as if the acquisition of RDS had occurred
         on January 1, 1999 (the first day of fiscal 1999) and January 1, 1998,
         (the first day of fiscal 1998) and includes adjustments directly
         attributable to the acquisition and expected to have a continuing
         impact on the combined company. The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial
         Information has been prepared based on preliminary estimates of certain
         direct costs and liabilities associated with the transaction, and
         amounts actually recorded may change upon final determination of such
         amounts. Specifically, additional information is expected to be
         obtained for accrued expenses related to the acquisition.

         The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information and related notes are
         provided for informational purposes only and are not necessarily
         indicative of what the Company's actual financial position or results
         of operations would have been had the forgoing transaction been
         consummated on such dates, nor does it give effect to the synergies,
         cost savings and other charges expected to result from the acquisition.
         Accordingly, the pro forma financial information does not purport to be
         indicative of the Company's financial position or results of operations
         as of the date hereof or for any period ended on the date hereof or as
         of or for any other future date or period.

         The following unaudited pro forma financial information is based in
         part on the historical consolidated financial statements of the
         Company, and the related notes thereto, which are included in the
         Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
         1998 and the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months
         ended June 30, 1999; and the combined financial statements of RDS, and
         the related notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 1998, and
         the unaudited combined financial statements of RDS, and the related
         notes thereto, for the six months ended June 30, 1999, included
