Item 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Total Revenues
The Company's total revenues for the first quarter of 1996 were
$6.4 million, which represented an increase of 69.8% over first
quarter 1995 total revenues of $3.8 million, and resulted
principally from the growth in sales of the Company's warehouse
management system software, the expansion of the Company's direct
sales force, and the Company's expansion into international
markets.

International revenues increased 23.4% from $1.0 million in the
first quarter of 1995 to $1.3 million in the first quarter of
1996; however, the percentage of total revenues represented by
international revenues declined from 27.1% in the first quarter
of 1995 to 19.7% in the first quarter of 1996.  The Company
anticipates that international revenues will continue to increase
in future periods.

Software License Fees
The first quarter of 1996 software license fee revenues of $3.3
million represented an increase of 58.0% over the first quarter
of 1995 license fee revenues of $2.1 million.  This increase is a
result of the increased number of software licenses sold and the
increased market acceptance of the Company's annual release of
its warehouse management system software.  The Company introduced
Catalyst WMS Release 6.0 to the market in January of 1996, the
impact of which should be seen in future periods.

Services and Maintenance 
The first quarter of 1996 services and maintenance revenues of
$3.2 million represented an increase of 85.4% over the first
quarter of 1995 services and maintenance revenues of $1.7
million.  The increase in services and maintenance revenues was
due primarily to an increase in the number of Catalyst WMS
implementations and customers beginning their maintenance
agreement phase.  For the first quarter of 1996, the components
of services and maintenance revenues as a percentage of total
revenues were 21.1% for software modifications, 18.4% for
professional services, and 9.7% for maintenance agreements
compared with 16.7%, 33.4% and 4.7% in the first quarter of 1995. 
The increase in software modification revenues from 1995 to 1996
is due primarily to a contract that was terminated in the first
quarter of 1995.

Hardware and Other
Hardware and other revenues do not represent a material
percentage of total revenues in the first quarter of either 1996
or 1995.  The Company anticipates that hardware and other
revenues will increase slightly in future periods as a result of
the Company's acquisition of Information Strategies Incorporated,
a re-seller of certain hardware products.  

Cost of Software License Fees
The first quarter of 1996 cost of software license fees of
$84,000 represented a 40.0% decrease over the first quarter of
1995 of $140,000.  The Company continues to expense all software
development costs as research and development expenditures as
incurred and anticipates doing so in future periods.

Cost of Services and Maintenance
The first quarter of 1996 cost of services and maintenance of
$2.9 million represented a 36.5% increase over the first quarter
of 1995 of $2.1 million.  The increase is due primarily to the
increased staffing of engineers to implement and support current
and previous releases of Catalyst WMS.  The Company's services
and maintenance organization consisted of 107 and 161 at March
31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, respectively.

Cost of Hardware and Other
Cost of hardware and other is not a material portion of the
Company's costs.  The Company anticipates that the cost of
hardware and other may increase in future periods as a result of
the Company's acquisition of Information Strategies Incorporated,
a re-seller of certain hardware products.

Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses decreased from 28.0% of total
revenues in the first quarter of 1995 to 18.7% in the first
quarter of 1996.  Actual spending increased from $1.1 million in
1995 to $1.2 million in 1996, or 13.3%, in order to support
worldwide sales and marketing efforts, including increased direct
sales force and promotional activities.  The Company expects to
continue to emphasize sales and marketing of its products to
promote Catalyst WMS's competitive position.

Product Development
Product development expenses as a percentage of total revenues
for the first quarter of 1996 increased to 14.9% from 13.0% in
the first quarter of 1995.  Actual product development expenses
increased by 93.9% from $492,000 to $954,000 for the first
quarters of 1995 and 1996, respectively, due to increased
personnel costs to support the development of new and enhanced
products.  The Company anticipates that product development
expenses will continue to increase during the year as a result of
the Company's acquisition of Information Strategies Incorporated. 
Additionally, the Company intends to continue recruiting and
hiring experienced software developers and will consider
complementary software technologies and businesses for possible
acquisition.

General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses decreased from 10.7% of total
revenues in the first quarter of 1995 to 8.9% in the first
quarter of 1996.  Actual general and administrative expenses
increased by 40.4% from $406,000 in the first quarter of 1995 to
$570,000 in first quarter of 1996.  This increase resulted from
higher personnel costs and expenses incurred to support the
Company's increased operations and infrastructure.

Other Income and Expense
Interest income for the first quarter was $261,000 which was
offset by $11,000 of interest expense, compared to $6,000 of
interest income offset by $22,000 of interest expense  in the
first quarter of 1995.  The increase in interest income was due
primarily to investment of the proceeds from the Company's
initial public offering.  

Income Tax Expense
The Company's effective income tax rate was 24.7% in the first
quarter of 1996.  This is lower than the anticipated statutory
rate due to the expected utilization of net operating losses
carryforwards and general business credits during 1996.  No tax
expense was recorded for the first quarter of 1995 due to the
Company's net loss position.  No deferred tax expense has been
recorded in either quarter as the Company continues to record a 
valuation allowance to reserve for net deferred tax asset.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, which consist
primarily of high-quality municipal bonds, totaled $21.9 million
at March 31, 1996 compared to $23.6 million at December 31, 1995. 
The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
was due primarily to the cash used to perform renovations to the
Company's existing facility and capital equipment for said
facility, an increase in accounts receivable, partially offset by
net income.

On April 3, 1996, the Company acquired all outstanding common
stock of Information Strategies Incorporated ("ISI") of Dallas,
Texas for cash.  ISI produces and sells TracWare , a Microsoft
Windows NT  based software system for the distribution and
logistics market.  The software technology acquired from ISI will
be charged during the second quarter as purchased Research and 
Development and should not exceed $1.5 million.  Catalyst will 
maintain the ISI Texas office and use this facility as a research
and development laboratory; in addition, Catalyst has offered
employment to all ISI employees. The Company does not believe
that the acquisition will have a material impact on the Company's
liquidity needs for 1996.

Longer term cash requirements, other than normal operating
expenses, are anticipated for the development of new software
products and enhancement of existing products; the finance of 
anticipated growth; potential repurchases of the Company's common
stock; and possible acquisition of software products or
technologies complementary to the Company's business.  The
Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents,
marketable securities and available line of credit, along with
anticipated cash generated from operations will be sufficient to
satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.
