                           -        declining revenues -- in turn driven by
                                    customers' "wait and see" attitude due to
                                    viability concerns

                           -        Spectre of AEX listing action

Slide 19:         Additional Factors

                  o        With Bear Stearns value declining, and other equity
                           costly, likely negative equity Q2

                           -        Indeed, 6 June AEX confirms "special listing

                  o        Took immediate action to solidify the management team
                           and demonstrate to customers the Company was focused
                           on its core mission

Slide 23:         Q1/Q2 Strategic Discussions

                           partners, and potential buyers

                  o        While looking at all possibilities, goal through Q1
                           was to try to maintain the Company's independence

                  o        After 20 April -- with continued customer concerns
                           about viability; significant effects those concerns
                           were having on revenue; and need to fundamentally
                           restructure -- the Company became convinced a
                           strategic partner was the best solution

Slide 24:         Strategic Alternatives

                  o        Many discussions with potential partners; though
                           other than Invensys only one formal offer received

                  o        In all cases, size of potential investments or
                           purchase price under discussion was significantly
                           less than the Invensys offer

Slide 37:         Invensys Offer (cont'd)

                  o        By the time the offer was announced, Baan was faced
                           with a very challenging environment

                           -        Shares trading at just over $1 in weeks

Slide 39:         Job 1:  Restoring
                  Customer Confidence

                  o        Despite financial challenges, Baan continues to be
                           recognized as technology leader: innovation,
                           functionality, ease of implementation/use

                  o        But great technology alone will not erase customer
                           concerns on viability

                                    revenue

                  o        Further financial investments are not the solution;
                           customer confidence will return only with a strong
                           strategic partner like Invensys

Slide 41:         Market Reaction
                  (Baan does not endorse or ratify analyst comments)

                  o        SNS Securities (B. Siebrand): "The bid is high
                           enough. A lot has to be invested in the company and,
                           given the circumstances, it's a reasonable offer."

                  o        Lehnman Brothers: "[We] do not believe other bidders
                           will emerge with higher offer; [we] see deal as best
                           possible solution."

                  o        NIB Capital (Henk van de Meent): "EUR2.85 is better
                           than letting the deal break and [the likely
                           alternatives]."

                  o        Gartner Group: "Baan is selling at or close to the
                           best price it could have hoped for and . . . Baan's
                           manufacturing customers can breathe easier given the
                           renewed viability of Baan's core products."

Slide 42:         Stand Alone Alternative If Offer Does Not Close

                  o        PWC likely to issue negative "going concern" opinion
                           in '99 audited accounts to be filed on or by 15 July

                  o        AEX likely to impose "special listing conditions"
                           given negative equity position

                  o        Growing customer concerns over viability

                  o        Likely significant employee attrition

                  o        Company must pursue fundamental restructuring --
                           cutting operations by more than half -- with
                           financing uncertain

                  o        Resume discussions with other potential partners, all
                           of whom had initially discussed less favorable terms

Slide 43:         Conclusion

                  o        Management and Supervisory Boards unanimously
                           recommend this offer

                  o        Lazard Freres has provided a fairness opinion: the
                           offer is fair from a financial point of view

                  o        Best existing alternatives
