THE COMPANY

In order to remain competitive in a changing retail landscape, many
retailers have demanded that manufacturers and distributors employ industry
initiatives such as "Quick Response," which use technology to improve the flow
of information among manufacturers, distributors and retailers. As a result of
these retailer demands, distribution centers have increased in size,
complexity and cost. The efficient management of a distribution center
operation now requires collecting information regarding customer orders,
inbound shipments of products, products available on-site, product storage
locations, weights and sizes, and outbound shipping data (including customer-
or store-specific shipping requirements, routing data and carrier
requirements). This information must be analyzed dynamically to determine the
most efficient use of the distribution center's labor, materials handling
equipment, packaging equipment and shipping and receiving areas. Additionally,
manufacturers, distributors and retailers must exchange information with other
participants in the supply chain in order to effectively integrate the
operation of their distribution centers with the entire supply chain.

PkMS allows organizations to manage the receiving, stock locating, stock
picking, order verification, order packing and shipment of products in complex
distribution centers. PkMS is designed to optimize the operation of a
distribution center by increasing inventory turnover, improving inventory
accuracy, reducing response times, reducing inventory levels, improving
customer service and increasing the productivity of labor, facilities and
materials handling equipment. In addition, through its recent acquisition of
Performance Analysis Corporation ("PAC"), the Company offers slotting
functionality, which helps determine the optimal storage location for
inventory within a distribution center.

The Company currently provides solutions to manufacturers, distributors and
retailers primarily in the apparel, consumer products, food service and
grocery markets. As of December 31, 1997, PkMS was licensed for use by more
than 250 customers including Calvin Klein, Dean Foods, Jockey International,
Mikasa, Nordstrom, Patagonia, Playtex Apparel, SEIKO Corporation of America,
The Sports Authority, Timberland and Warnaco.

The Company is a Georgia corporation formed to own all of the assets and
liabilities of Manhattan Associates Software, LLC, a Georgia limited liability
company ("Manhattan LLC"). Manhattan LLC was formed in 1995 by the
contribution of the assets, liabilities and intellectual property rights of
Pegasys Systems Incorporated ("Pegasys") and the contribution of certain
intellectual property rights from the other founders of Manhattan LLC. Pegasys
is controlled by Alan J. Dabbiere, the Company's Chairman of the Board, Chief
Executive Officer and President. After the Restructuring, Pegasys, and Mr.
Dabbiere through his control of Pegasys, will be a controlling stockholder of
the Company. See "Principal and Selling Stockholders." Unless the context
otherwise requires, references in this Prospectus to "Manhattan" or the
"Company" refer to Manhattan Associates, Inc., and its consolidated
subsidiary, PAC, acquired on February 16, 1998. The Company's principal
executive offices are located at 2300 Windy Ridge Parkway, Suite 700, Atlanta,
Georgia 30339 and its telephone number is (770) 955-7070.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the shares of Common Stock offered hereby involves a high
degree of risk. In addition to the other information in this Prospectus, the
following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating an
investment in the Common Stock offered by this Prospectus. When used in this
Prospectus, the words "expects," "anticipates," "estimates" and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected. These risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those risks discussed below and
elsewhere in this Prospectus. Actual results could differ materially from
those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of the risk
factors discussed below and elsewhere in this Prospectus.

LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY. The Company was founded and shipped its first
version of PkMS in 1990. The Company and its operations are subject to all of
the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. The
Company's prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and
difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of
development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets.
Although the Company has experienced significant growth during the past five
years, the Company does not believe that prior growth rates are sustainable or
indicative of future operating results. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to increase its level of revenue or maintain
profitability in the future. Increases in operating expenses are expected to
continue and, together with pricing pressures, may result in a decrease in
operating income and operating margin percentage. The Company's limited
operating history makes the prediction of future operating results difficult
or impossible. Future operating results will depend on many factors,
including, without limitation, the degree and rate of growth of the markets in
which the Company competes and the accompanying demand for the Company's
software products, the level of product and price competition, the ability of
the Company to establish strategic marketing relationships and develop and
market new and enhanced products and to control costs, the ability of the
Company to expand its direct sales force and indirect distribution channels
both domestically and internationally, the ability of the Company to integrate
acquired businesses, and the ability of the Company to attract, train and
retain consulting, technical and other key personnel. See "Selected Financial
Data" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations."

POTENTIAL VARIABILITY OF QUARTERLY OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS. The
Company's operations and related revenue and operating results could vary
substantially from quarter to quarter. Among the factors causing these
potential variations are fluctuations in the demand for the Company's
products, the level of product and price competition in the Company's markets,
the length of the Company's sales process, the size and timing of individual
transactions, the mix of products and services sold, delays in, or
cancellations of, customer implementations, the Company's success in expanding
its services and customer support organizations as well as its direct sales
force and indirect distribution channels, the timing of new product
introductions and enhancements by the Company or its competitors, commercial
strategies adopted by competitors, changes in foreign currency exchange rates,
customers' budget constraints, the Company's ability to control costs and
general economic conditions. A substantial portion of the Company's operating
expenses, particularly personnel and facilities costs, are relatively fixed in
advance of any particular quarter. As a result, any delay in the recognition
of revenue may cause significant variations in operating results in any
particular quarter. In addition, an increase or decrease in hardware sales,
which provide the Company with lower gross margins than sales of software
licenses or services, may contribute to the variability of the Company's
operating results in any particular quarter. As a result of the foregoing
factors, the Company's operating results for a future quarter may be above or
below the expectations of public market analysts

and investors. Should the Company's revenue and operating results fall below
expectations, the price of the Company's Common Stock would be materially
adversely affected. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."

DEPENDENCE ON SINGLE PRODUCT. The Company currently derives substantially
all of its revenue from sales of its PkMS software and related services and
hardware. The Company expects to continue to focus on distribution center
management systems as its primary line of business, and any factor adversely
affecting the market for distribution center management systems in general, or
the Company's products in particular, could adversely affect the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company's future
financial performance will depend in large part on the successful development,
introduction and customer acceptance of new and enhanced versions of PkMS.
There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to be successful in
marketing PkMS or any new or enhanced versions of PkMS. The market for
distribution center management systems is intensely competitive, highly
fragmented and subject to rapid technological change. The Company's future
success will depend on continued growth in the market for distribution center
management systems. There can be no assurance that the market for distribution
center management systems will continue to grow. If this market fails to grow
or grows more slowly than the Company currently anticipates, the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially
adversely affected. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations," "Business--Strategy" and "--Products and
Services."

ABILITY TO MANAGE GROWTH. The Company has rapidly and significantly expanded
its operations and anticipates that significant expansion will continue to be
required in order to address potential market opportunities. The Company
anticipates significantly increasing the size of its sales, support, services,
marketing and research and development operations following the completion of
the Offering. There can be no assurance that such expansion will be
successfully completed or that it will generate sufficient revenue to cover
the Company's expenses. The Company has only recently begun the process of
developing the management and operational capabilities and financial and
accounting systems and controls necessary to support anticipated growth. For
example, the Company hired its current Chief Financial Officer, Michael J.
Casey, in November 1997. The Company did not previously have a Chief Financial
Officer. In January 1998, the Company upgraded certain of its management
information and accounting systems and the Company will need to continue to
upgrade these and other systems to accommodate its expanding operations. There
can be no assurance that the Company's expanded management information and
accounting systems will be sufficient to support the Company's continued
growth, if any. Similarly, the Company hired its Executive Vice President--
Sales and Marketing, Gregory Cronin, in December 1997, and he is responsible
for expanding the Company's sales and marketing operations. The ability of the
Company to manage its growth, if any, will depend in large part on its ability
to build effective management information and accounting systems, to generally
improve and expand its operational and sales and marketing capabilities, to
develop the management skills of its managers and supervisors, and to train,
motivate and manage both its existing employees and the additional employees
that will be required if the Company is to achieve its business objectives.
There can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in developing all or
any of these capabilities, and any failure to do so would have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations. See "Business--Strategy," "--Sales and Marketing" and
"Management."

NEW MANAGEMENT TEAM; DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL. The Company's future
success will depend to a significant extent on its Chairman of the Board,
Chief Executive Officer and President, Alan J. Dabbiere, as well as the
Company's other executive officers and technical, managerial and marketing
personnel. A significant portion of the Company's senior

management team has been in place for only a relatively short period of time.
Oliver M. Cooper, Michael J. Casey, Gregory Cronin, Neil Thall, and David K.
Dabbiere, the Company's Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer,
Executive Vice President--Sales and Marketing, Vice President--Supply Chain
Strategy and Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, respectively,
joined the Company full-time in August 1997, November 1997, December 1997,
January 1998 and March 1998, respectively. Accordingly, each of these
individuals has been involved with only the most recent operating activity of
the Company. The Company's success will depend to a significant extent on the
ability of its new executive officers to integrate themselves into the
Company's daily operations, to gain the trust and confidence of the Company's
other employees and to work effectively as a team. The loss of the services of
any of the Company's executive officers could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. There
can be no assurance that any of these individuals or any other key employee
will not voluntarily terminate his employment with the Company. The Company
does not maintain key man life insurance on any of its executive officers. The
failure of the Company to maintain key man life insurance on its executive
officers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operation. The Company believes that its
future success will also depend significantly on its ability to attract,
motivate and retain additional highly skilled technical, managerial,
consulting, sales and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel is
intense, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
attracting, motivating and retaining the personnel required to grow and operate
profitably. Failure to attract, motivate and retain such highly skilled
personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations. See "Business--Employees" and
"Management."

LIMITED PREDICTABILITY OF SALES DUE TO LENGTH OF SALES PROCESS. The sale of
PkMS generally requires the Company to provide a significant level of education
to prospective customers regarding the use and benefits of the product.
Implementation of the Company's products involves a significant commitment of
resources by prospective customers and is commonly associated with substantial
integration efforts which must be performed by the Company and/or the customer.
For these and other reasons, the length of time between the date of initial
contact with the potential customer and execution of a software license
agreement typically ranges from three to six months, and is subject to delays
over which the Company may have little or no control. In addition, as the
average dollar size of the sale of the Company's products and services
increases, the Company expects the sales cycle to lengthen as a result of a
more time-consuming approval process typically required by its potential
customers. The Company's implementation cycle could also be lengthened by
increases in the size and complexity of its implementations. In addition, the
Company will need to continue hiring qualified personnel to complete such
installations. The failure of the Company to attract and retain such personnel
or the delay in, or cancellation of, sales or implementations of PkMS could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations and could cause the Company's operating results to
vary significantly from quarter to quarter. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business--Sales
and Marketing."

DEPENDENCE ON HARDWARE REVENUE. In conjunction with the licensing of PkMS,
the Company resells a variety of hardware products, developed and manufactured
by third parties, in order to provide the Company's customers with an
integrated distribution center management solution. Revenue from such hardware
sales can amount to a significant portion of the Company's total revenue in any
period. As the market for the distribution of hardware products becomes more
competitive, the Company's customers may choose to purchase such hardware
directly from the manufacturers or distributors of such products, with a
resultant decrease to the Company in such ancillary revenue and related
contribution to income. Hardware sales revenue as a percentage of total revenue
decreased in 1996 and 1997 and, as a

result, the Company's profitability is increasingly dependent upon growth in
its software licenses and services revenue. The failure of the Company to
maintain or increase hardware revenues may have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and "Business--Products and Services."

IMMIGRATION ISSUES. The Company believes that its success in part has
resulted from its ability to attract and retain persons with technical and
project management skills, some of whom are citizens of other countries,
principally India. Many of the Company's employees are employed by the Company
pursuant to the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service ("INS") H-
1(B), non-immigrant work-permitted visa classification. There is a limit on the
number of new H-1(B) petitions that the INS may approve in any year, and in
years in which this limit is reached, the Company may be unable to obtain H-
1(B) visas necessary to bring additional foreign employees to the U.S.
Compliance with existing U.S. immigration laws, or changes in such laws making
it more difficult to hire foreign nationals or limiting the ability of the
Company to retain H-1(B) employees in the U.S., could require the Company to
incur additional unexpected labor costs and expenses. Any such restrictions or
limitations on the Company's hiring practices could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations. Furthermore, Congress and administrative agencies with jurisdiction
over immigration matters have periodically expressed concerns over the levels
of immigration into the United States. These concerns have often resulted in
proposed legislation, rules and regulations aimed at reducing the number of
employment-based visas and permanent resident visas that may be issued. Any
changes in such laws making it more difficult to hire foreign nationals or
limiting the ability of the Company to retain foreign employees could require
the Company to incur additional unexpected labor costs and expenses or result
in the Company having insufficient qualified personnel to carry on the business
of the Company.

The Company's Chief Technology Officer, Deepak Raghavan, is presently
employed pursuant to an H-1(B) non-immigrant work-permitted visa that may be
extended only through April 30, 2000. Mr. Raghavan's application for an EB-3
permanent immigrant visa is currently subject to a processing backlog which may
or may not be alleviated in time for his EB-3 permanent immigrant visa to be
issued before April 30, 2000. In the event that Mr. Raghavan's permanent work
permit is not issued prior to such date, he may be required to leave the United
States. In February 1998, Mr. Raghavan made a cash investment in the Company
which allows him to qualify for an EB-5 permanent immigrant investor visa which
may be granted sooner than the EB-3 permanent immigrant visa under his current
application. While Mr. Raghavan has applied for the immigrant investor visa and
the Company expects that such visa will be issued prior to April 30, 2000,
there can be no assurance that any visa permitting Mr. Raghavan to remain in
the United States will be issued prior to such date. In the event Mr. Raghavan
is required to leave the United States, the Company's software development
efforts, and thus its business, financial condition and results of operations,
may be materially adversely affected. See "Business--Employees," "Management"
and "Certain Transactions."

COMPETITION. The market for the Company's products is intensely competitive,
highly fragmented and subject to rapid technological change. The Company's
competitors are diverse and offer a variety of solutions directed at various
aspects of the supply chain, as well as the enterprise as a whole. The
Company's existing competitors include distribution center management software
vendors, the corporate information technology departments of potential
customers capable of internally developing solutions, and smaller independent
companies that have developed or are attempting to develop distribution center
management software that competes with the Company's software solution.

The Company may face competition in the future from business application
software vendors that may broaden their product offerings by internally
developing, or by acquiring or partnering with independent developers of,
distribution center management software, and Enterprise Resource Planning
("ERP") and Supply Chain Management ("SCM") applications vendors. To the extent
such ERP and SCM vendors develop or acquire systems with functionality
comparable or superior to the Company's products, their significant installed
customer bases, long-standing customer relationships and ability to offer a
broad solution could provide a significant competitive advantage over the
Company. In addition, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among
current and new competitors may emerge and rapidly gain significant market
share. Many of the Company's competitors and potential competitors have longer
operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and
other resources, greater name recognition and a larger installed base of
customers than the Company. In order to be successful in the future, the
Company must continue to respond promptly and effectively to technological
change and competitors' innovations. There can be no assurance that current or
potential competitors of the Company will not develop products comparable or
superior in terms of price and performance features to those developed by the
Company. In addition, no assurance can be given that the Company will not be
required to make substantial additional investments in connection with its
research, development, marketing, sales and customer service efforts in order
to meet any competitive threat, or that the Company will be able to compete
successfully in the future. Increased competition will result in reductions in
market share, pressure for price reductions and related reductions in gross
margins, any of which could materially and adversely affect the Company's
ability to achieve its financial and business goals. There can be no assurance
that in the future the Company will be able to successfully compete against
current and future competitors. See "Business--Competition."

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH RECENT ACQUISITION AND POSSIBLE ACQUISITIONS. The
Company has recently completed the PAC Acquisition and may in the future engage
in selective acquisitions of other businesses that are complementary to those
of the Company, including other providers of distribution center management
solutions or technology. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to identify additional suitable acquisition candidates available for sale
at reasonable prices, consummate any acquisition or successfully integrate any
acquired business (including the PAC business) into the Company's operations.
Further, acquisitions may involve a number of special risks, including
diversion of management's attention, failure to retain key acquired personnel,
unanticipated events or circumstances, legal liabilities and amortization of
acquired intangible assets, some or all of which could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial
condition. Problems with an acquired business could have a material adverse
effect on the performance of the Company as a whole. The Company expects to
finance any future acquisitions with the proceeds of the Offering as well as
with possible debt financing, the issuance of equity securities (common or
preferred stock) or combinations of the foregoing. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to arrange adequate financing on acceptable
terms. If the Company were to proceed with one or more significant future
acquisitions in which the consideration consisted of cash, a substantial
portion of the Company's available cash (possibly a portion of the proceeds of
the Offering) could be used to consummate the acquisitions. If the Company were
to consummate one or more significant acquisitions in which the consideration
consisted of stock, shareholders of the Company could suffer dilution of their
interests in the Company. Many business acquisitions must be accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting. Most of the businesses that might
become attractive acquisition candidates for the Company are likely to have
significant intangible assets, and acquisition of these businesses, if
accounted for as a purchase, would typically result in substantial goodwill
amortization charges to the Company, reducing future earnings. In addition,
such acquisitions could involve acquisition-related charges, such as one-time
acquired research and development charges. For example, the

Company intends, in the first quarter of 1998, to record an acquired research
and development expense of approximately $1.6 million in connection with the
PAC Acquisition. The Company accounted for this $1.6 million amount using a
cost based approach. This cost approach utilized by the Company is not a widely
used methodology to value acquired research and development in a technology
acquisition. Many acquisitions in the software industry are accounted for
utilizing an income-based approach to the valuation of acquired research and
development. Although the Company believes that an income based approach often
provides a more precise valuation, because a market has not been established
for the Windows NT product, and future cash flow projections were thus not
available, the Company elected to utilize the cost based approach. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations," "Business--Strategy," "--Recent Developments" and Financial
Statements.

ESTABLISHMENT OF INDIRECT CHANNELS; POTENTIAL FOR CHANNEL CONFLICT. Although
the Company has historically focused its efforts on marketing through its
direct sales force, the Company is increasing resources dedicated to developing
indirect marketing channels such as systems integrators. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to attract and retain a sufficient
number of systems integrators to market successfully the Company's PkMS
product. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company's potential
systems integrators will not develop, acquire or market products competitive
with the Company's PkMS product. In addition, sales of PkMS through its
indirect channels are also likely to reduce the Company's gross profits from
its consulting services as the Company's third party systems integrators
provide these services. Selling through indirect channels may limit the
Company's contact with its customers. As a result, the Company's ability to
accurately forecast sales, evaluate customer satisfaction and recognize
emerging customer requirements may be hindered. The Company's strategy of
marketing its PkMS product directly to customers and indirectly through systems
integrators may result in distribution channel conflicts. The Company's direct
sales efforts may compete with those of its indirect channels and, to the
extent different systems integrators target the same customers, systems
integrators may also come into conflict with each other. As the Company strives
to expand its indirect distribution channels, there can be no assurance that
emerging channel conflicts will not have a material adverse effect on its
relationships with potential systems integrators or adversely affect its
ability to attract new systems integrators. See "Business--Strategy" and "--
Sales and Marketing."

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION. Revenue outside of North
America has not been significant to date; however, a key element of the
Company's strategy is to increase its international sales. The Company expects
to face competition from foreign distribution center management system
providers in their respective native countries. To successfully expand
international sales, the Company will need to recruit and retain international
systems integrators. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
maintain or increase international sales of its products or that the Company's
international distribution channels will be able to adequately market, service
and support the Company's products. International operations generally are
subject to certain risks, including dependence on independent resellers,
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, compliance with foreign
regulatory and market requirements, variability of foreign economic conditions
and changing restrictions imposed by United States export laws. Additional
risks inherent in the Company's international business activities generally
include unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs and other trade
barriers, costs of localizing products for foreign countries, lack of
acceptance of localized products in foreign countries, longer accounts
receivable payment cycles, difficulties in managing international operations,
difficulties in enforcing intellectual property rights and the burdens of
complying with a wide variety of foreign laws. Currently, the Company does not
operate sales offices outside of the United States. The Company intends to
establish international sales offices, and such operations will be subject to
certain additional risks, including difficulties in staffing and managing such
operations and potentially adverse tax

consequences including restrictions on the repatriation of earnings. There can
be no assurance that such factors will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's future international sales and, consequently, the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.
To date, all of the Company's sales have been made in United States dollars and
the Company has not engaged in any hedging transactions through the purchase of
derivative securities or otherwise. However, should the Company's revenue from
international sales increase as intended, and should such sales be denominated
in foreign currencies, the failure of the Company to adopt an adequate hedging
strategy to guard against foreign currency fluctuations could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations," "Business--Strategy" and "--Sales and Marketing."

CONCENTRATION OF CONTROL. Upon completion of the Offering, the Company's
directors, officers and their affiliates will beneficially own approximately
83.3% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. In particular, Alan J.
Dabbiere, the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of
the Company, will beneficially own approximately 46.9% of the Company's
outstanding Common Stock. As a result, these stockholders will have the ability
to elect the Company's directors and to determine the outcome of corporate
actions requiring stockholder approval. This concentration of ownership may
have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of the Company.
See "Management" and "Principal and Selling Stockholders."

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES; NECESSITY OF DEVELOPING
NEW PRODUCTS. The market for distribution center management systems is subject
to rapid technological change, changing customer needs, frequent new product
introductions and evolving industry standards that may render existing products
and services obsolete. As a result, the Company's position in this market could
be eroded rapidly by unforeseen changes in customer requirements for
application features, functions and technologies. The Company's growth and
future operating results will depend in part upon its ability to enhance
existing applications and develop and introduce new applications that meet or
exceed technological advances in the marketplace, that meet changing customer
requirements, that respond to competitive products and that achieve market
acceptance. Although the Company is presently developing a client/server
version of its PkMS product, there can be no assurance that this product will
be completed to meet potential customer demands, if any, on a timely basis. The
Company's product development and testing efforts have required, and are
expected to continue to require, substantial investments by the Company. There
can be no assurance that the Company will continue to possess sufficient
resources to make necessary investments in technology. In addition, there can
be no assurance that the Company's products will meet the requirements of the
marketplace and achieve market acceptance, or that the Company's current or
future products will conform to industry standards in the markets they serve.
If the Company is unable, for technological or other reasons, to develop and
introduce new and enhanced products in a timely manner, the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely
affected. See "Business--Product Development."

POTENTIAL LIABILITY TO CLIENTS. Many of the Company's installations involve
products that are critical to the operations of its clients' businesses and
provide benefits that may be difficult to quantify. Any failure in a client's
system could result in a claim for substantial damages against the Company,
regardless of the Company's responsibility for such failure. Although the
Company attempts to limit contractually its liability for damages arising from
negligent acts, errors, mistakes or omissions, there can be no assurance the
limitations of liability set forth in its contracts will be enforceable in all
instances or would otherwise protect the Company from liability for damages.
Although the Company maintains general liability insurance coverage, including
coverage for errors or omissions, there can be no assurance that such coverage
will

continue to be available on reasonable terms or will be available in sufficient
amounts to cover one or more large claims, or that the insurer will not
disclaim coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or
more large claims against the Company that exceed available insurance coverage
or changes in the Company's insurance policies, including premium increases or
the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could
adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.

CONVERSION FROM LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY ("LLC") STATUS AND UTILIZATION OF
SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE OFFERING PROCEEDS TO SATISFY INDEBTEDNESS INCURRED
TO FUND DISTRIBUTIONS TO CURRENT STOCKHOLDERS. Manhattan LLC was formed by the
contribution of the assets, liabilities and intellectual property rights of
Pegasys and the contribution of certain intellectual property rights from the
other founders of Manhattan LLC. Manhattan LLC has operated as an LLC, taxable
as a partnership under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code") and generally taxable as a partnership under comparable
provisions of state income tax laws. An LLC which is taxable as a partnership
generally is not subject to income tax at the entity level. Instead, an LLC's
taxable income generally passes through to its owners and is taxed to such
owners as personal income. Historically, Manhattan LLC has distributed its
earnings to its owners as the Company's working capital needs permitted. Since
the Company's working capital needs are anticipated to be satisfied for at
least the next twelve months by the proceeds of this Offering, prior to this
Offering Manhattan LLC will disburse its accumulated undistributed earnings to
its owners.

As of the date of this Prospectus, the assets and liabilities of Manhattan
LLC will be contributed to the Company in exchange for Common Stock of the
Company in a transaction intended to be non-taxable under Section 351 of the
Code (the "Restructuring"). Manhattan LLC will then distribute the Common Stock
of the Company received to its stockholders as of the date of this Prospectus
and Manhattan LLC will subsequently be dissolved. Purchasers of the Common
Stock in the Offering will not receive any portion of the Common Stock
distributed to the stockholders of Manhattan LLC in connection with the
Restructuring. After the Restructuring, the Company will be taxable for federal
and state income tax purposes as a "C" corporation.

Manhattan LLC has entered into a line of credit for working capital purposes
and to fund the disbursement of the undistributed earnings to the stockholders
of Manhattan LLC that will be made prior to the completion of the Offering.
Prior to the Offering, this distribution will cause the Company to sustain, on
a pro forma basis as of December 31, 1997, a working capital deficit of $3.6
million and stockholders' deficit of $120,000. The Company will use a portion
of the proceeds of the Offering to fund the repayment of all outstanding
amounts under its line of credit, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up
to $8,000,000. The Company will also use a portion of the proceeds of the
Offering to repay all outstanding indebtedness under a note to the Company's
Chief Executive Officer, the balance of which was $1,937,000 (including accrued
interest) as of February 28, 1998. The Company does not anticipate incurring
any additional borrowings under the note to the Company's Chief Executive
Officer prior to completion of the Offering. There can be no assurance that the
remaining net proceeds of the Offering will be sufficient to pay for future
acquisitions, planned research and development projects and other growth-
oriented activities, which could require the Company to incur additional debt
or other financing that could impose restrictive covenants and other terms
having a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations. Purchasers of Common Stock in the Offering will not
receive any portion of the distributions to the stockholders of Manhattan LLC
prior to the Restructuring. See "Conversion from Limited Liability Company
Status and Related Distributions," "Use of Proceeds," "Certain Transactions"
and Notes 1 and 9 of Notes to Financial Statements.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. The Company relies on a combination of
copyright, trade secret, trademark, service mark and trade dress laws,
confidentiality procedures and contractual

provisions to protect its proprietary rights in its products and technology.
There can be no assurance, however, that the confidentiality agreements on
which the Company relies to protect its trade secrets and proprietary
technology will be adequate. Further, the Company may be subject to additional
risks as it enters into transactions in countries where intellectual property
laws are not well developed or are poorly enforced. Legal protections of the
Company's rights may be ineffective in such countries. Litigation to defend and
enforce the Company's intellectual property rights could result in substantial
costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations,
regardless of the final outcome of such litigation. Despite the Company's
efforts to safeguard and maintain its proprietary rights both in the United
States and abroad, there can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in doing so, or that the steps taken by the Company in this regard
will be adequate to deter misappropriation or independent third party
development of the Company's technology or to prevent an unauthorized third
party from copying or otherwise obtaining and using the Company's products or
technology. Any such events could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

As the number of supply chain management applications in the industry
increases and the functionality of these products further overlaps, software
development companies like the Company may increasingly become subject to
claims of infringement or misappropriation of the intellectual property rights
of others. There can be no assurance that third parties will not assert
infringement or misappropriation claims against the Company in the future with
respect to current or future products. Any claims or litigation, with or
without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, diversion
of management's attention and cause product shipment delays or require the
Company to enter into royalty or licensing arrangements. Such royalty or
licensing arrangements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable
to the Company, if at all, which could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Adverse
determinations in such claims or litigation could also have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations. See "Business--Proprietary Rights."

BROAD MANAGEMENT DISCRETION AS TO USE OF PROCEEDS. A substantial portion of
the net proceeds to be received by the Company in connection with the Offering
is allocated to working capital and general corporate purposes. Accordingly,
management will have broad discretion with respect to the expenditure of such
proceeds. Purchasers of shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be
entrusting their funds to the Company's management, upon whose judgment they
must depend, with limited information concerning the specific working capital
requirements and general corporate purposes to which the funds will ultimately
be applied. See "Use of Proceeds."

CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS. The Board of Directors has authority to
issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to fix the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of the
preferred stock without further vote or action by the Company's stockholders.
The rights of the holders of the Common Stock will be subject to, and may be
adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of a preferred stock that may
be issued in the future. While the Company has no present intention to issue
shares of preferred stock, such issuance, while providing desired flexibility
in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could
have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a
majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company. In addition, the
Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions that may
discourage proposals or bids to acquire the Company. These provisions could
have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire
control of the Company. See "Description of Capital Stock--Certain Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions."

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE. Sales of a substantial number of shares of
Common Stock in the public market following the Offering could adversely affect
the market price of the Common Stock prevailing from time to time. The number
of shares of Common Stock available for sale in the public market is limited by
restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), and lock-up agreements executed by officers, directors, optionholders
and all stockholders of the Company under which such security holders have
agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any of their shares for a period of
180 days after the date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of
Deutsche Morgan Grenfell Inc. In addition to the 3,500,000 shares of Common
Stock offered hereby (assuming no exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment
option), there will be 20,206,674 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the
date of this Prospectus, all of which are "restricted" shares under the
Securities Act. As a result of the lock-up agreements described above and the
provisions of Rules 144(k), 144 and 701 promulgated under the Securities Act
("Rule 144(k)," "Rule 144" and "Rule 701," respectively), the restricted shares
will be available for sale in the public market as follows: (i) no shares will
be eligible for immediate sale on the date of this Prospectus,
(ii) approximately 19,870,008 shares will become eligible for sale 180 days
after the date of this Prospectus (assuming no release from the lock-up
agreements) upon expiration of lock-up agreements and (iii) approximately
336,666 shares will become eligible for sale in February 1999. In addition, the
Company intends to register for offer and sale under the Securities Act
5,729,784 shares of Common Stock issued or issuable under the Company's stock
option plans and other stock options. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" and
"Underwriting."

NO PRIOR PUBLIC MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK; POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK
PRICE. Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Stock. Although the Common Stock has been approved for quotation on the Nasdaq
National Market, there can be no assurance that an active trading market will
develop or be sustained after the Offering. In the event that the Company fails
to appoint two independent Directors within 90 days after the Offering, Nasdaq
could terminate the listing of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market,
which would have a material adverse effect on the liquidity and trading price
of the Common Stock. The initial public offering price of the Common Stock
offered hereby has been determined by negotiation between the Company, the
Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters and may bear no relationship to the
market price of the Common Stock after the Offering. The market price of the
Common Stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to
variations in quarterly operating results and other factors. In addition, the
securities markets and, in particular the high technology stock market sector,
have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations from time to time
that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance
of particular companies. These broad fluctuations may adversely affect the
market price of the Common Stock. See "Underwriting."

DILUTION. The purchasers of the Common Stock offered hereby will experience
immediate and significant dilution in the pro forma net tangible book value of
the Common Stock from the initial pubic offering price. See "Dilution."

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE. Many currently installed computer systems and software
products are coded to accept only two digit entries in the date code field.
Beginning in the year 2000, these date code fields will need to accept four
digit entries to distinguish twenty-first century dates from twentieth century
dates. As a result, over the next two years, computer systems and/or software
used by many companies may need to be upgraded to comply with such "Year 2000"
requirements. Significant uncertainty exists in the software industry
concerning the potential effects associated with such compliance. The latest
versions of the Company's products are designed to be Year 2000 compliant. The
Company is in the process of determining the extent to which its earlier
software products as implemented in the Company's installed customer base are
Year 2000 compliant, as well as the impact of any non-compliance on the

Company and its customers. The Company does not currently believe that the
effects of any Year 2000 non-compliance in the Company's installed base of
software will result in a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition or results of operations. However, the Company's
investigation is in its preliminary stages, and no assurance can be given that
the Company will not be exposed to potential claims resulting from system
problems associated with the century change. There can also be no assurance
that the Company's software products that are designed to be Year 2000
compliant contain all necessary date code changes.

The Company believes that the purchasing patterns of customers and potential
customers may be affected by Year 2000 issues in a variety of ways. Many
companies are expending significant resources to correct or patch their current
software systems for Year 2000 compliance. These expenditures may result in
reduced funds available to purchase software products such as those offered by
the Company. Potential customers may also choose to defer purchasing Year 2000
compliant products until they believe it is absolutely necessary, thus
potentially resulting in stalled market sales within the industry. Conversely,
Year 2000 issues may cause other companies to accelerate purchases, thereby
causing an increase in short-term demand and a consequent decrease in long-term
demand for software products. Additionally, Year 2000 issues could cause a
significant number of companies, including current Company customers, to
reevaluate their current software needs and as a result switch to other systems
or suppliers. Any of the foregoing could result in a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

CONVERSION FROM LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY STATUS AND RELATED DISTRIBUTIONS

Manhattan LLC was formed by the contribution of the assets, liabilities and
intellectual property rights of Pegasys and the contribution of certain
intellectual property rights of the other founders of Manhattan LLC. Manhattan
LLC has operated as a limited liability company ("LLC") taxable as a
partnership under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code") and comparable provisions of state income tax laws. An
LLC which is taxable as a partnership under the Code is generally not subject
to income tax at the entity level. Instead, an LLC's taxable income generally
passes through to its owners and is taxed to such owners as personal income.
Historically, Manhattan LLC has distributed its earnings to its owners as the
Company's working capital needs permitted. Since the Company's working capital
needs are anticipated to be satisfied for at least the next twelve months by
the proceeds of this Offering, prior to this Offering Manhattan LLC will
disburse its accumulated earnings to its owners.

As of the date of this Prospectus, the assets and liabilities of Manhattan
LLC will be contributed to the Company in exchange for Common Stock of the
Company. Manhattan LLC will then distribute the Common Stock of the Company
received to its stockholders as of the date of this Prospectus and Manhattan
LLC will subsequently be dissolved. After the Restructuring, the Company will
be taxable for federal and state income tax purposes as a "C" corporation. The
transfer of assets and liabilities to Manhattan LLC as part of the
Restructuring is intended to qualify as a tax-free transfer under Section 351
of the Code, pursuant to which the Company will not recognize any gain or loss
for federal income tax purposes. Purchasers of the Common Stock in the
Offering will not receive any portion of the Common Stock distributed to the
stockholders of Manhattan LLC in connection with the Restructuring.

Prior to the completion of the Offering, the Company intends to distribute
all undistributed earnings, calculated on a tax basis, to the stockholders of
Manhattan LLC. As of December 31, 1997, the undistributed earnings, calculated
on a tax basis, of the Company was $8.7 million and the Company expects to
accumulate additional undistributed earnings from January 1, 1998 through the
date of the Restructuring. These distributions will be funded through a series
of payments from available Company cash and from the proceeds of a line of
credit the Company has established. It is anticipated that any such advances
or balance on the line of credit incurred to fund these distributions will be
repaid using a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering. Purchasers of the
Common Stock in the Offering will not receive any portion of the distributions
to the stockholders of Manhattan LLC prior to the Restructuring. See "Risk
Factors--Conversion from Limited Liability Company ("LLC") Status and
Utilization of Significant Portion of the Offering Proceeds to Satisfy
Indebtedness Incurred to Fund Distributions to Current Stockholders" and "Use
of Proceeds."

USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the 3,500,000 shares of
Common Stock offered by the Company hereby are estimated to be approximately
$47.6 million after deducting underwriting discount and estimated expenses
payable by the Company in connection with the Offering.

From the net proceeds of the Offering, the Company will repay any amounts
outstanding under its line of credit. The line of credit provides for the
Company to borrow, subject to certain conditions, up to $8,000,000, secured by
certain of the assets of the Company, at an interest rate of the commercial
lender's prime rate plus one-half percent per year. As of March 31, 1998, the
Company had no advances outstanding under this line of credit. This line of
credit, in part, will be used to fund the LLC Distribution and to make
additional distributions to the stockholders of Manhattan LLC based on income
earned from January 1, 1998 through the date of the Restructuring. See "Risk
Factors--Conversion from Limited Liability Company ("LLC") Status and
Utilization of Significant Portion of the Offering Proceeds to Satisfy
Indebtedness Incurred to Fund Distributions to Current Stockholders,"
"Conversion from Limited Liability Company Status and Related Distributions"
and "Certain Transactions."

In addition, the Company will use a portion of the net proceeds of the
Offering to repay a Grid Promissory Note (the "1995 Note") payable to its
Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, Alan J.
Dabbiere. The 1995 Note is payable on demand and bears interest at a rate of
5% per year. As of February 28, 1998, the balance of the 1995 Note (including
accrued interest) was $1,937,000.

The remaining net proceeds will be used for working capital and other
general corporate purposes. Such purposes may include the funding of new
product development efforts and possible acquisitions of, or investments in,
businesses and technologies that are complementary to those of the Company.
The Company has no specific agreements, commitments or understandings with
respect to any such acquisitions or investments. The amounts actually expended
for each purpose may vary significantly and are subject to change at the
Company's discretion depending upon certain factors, including economic or
industry conditions, changes in the competitive environment and strategic
opportunities that may arise. Pending application of the net proceeds as
described above, the Company intends to invest the net proceeds of the
Offering in interest-bearing securities. See "Risk Factors--Broad Management
Discretion as to Use of Proceeds" and "Business--Strategy."

DIVIDEND POLICY

The Company historically has made distributions to its stockholders related
to its limited liability company status and the resulting tax payment
obligations imposed on its stockholders. Other than the distributions to be
made as described under "Conversion from Limited Liability Company Status and
Related Distributions," the Company does not intend to declare or pay cash
dividends in the foreseeable future. Management anticipates that all earnings
and other cash resources of the Company, if any, will be retained by the
Company for investment in its business. The Company is prevented by its line
of credit agreement from paying cash dividends without the consent of its
commercial lender.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth at December 31, 1997, the short-term
obligations and capitalization of the Company on an actual, pro forma and pro
forma as adjusted basis. This table should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Financial Statements and the Unaudited Pro Forma Balance Sheet and
Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.

Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus.
(2) Pro forma as adjusted to reflect the sale by the Company of the 3,500,000
shares of Common Stock offered hereby at the initial public offering price
of $15.00 per share and the receipt of the estimated net proceeds
therefrom. See "Use of Proceeds."
(3) Excludes (i) 3,355,716 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise

Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options outstanding at February
28, 1998 issued outside of the LLC Option Plan at a weighted average
exercise price of $1.20 per share, and (iii) 1,644,284 reserved for future
issuance under the Company's Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock Incentive
Plan"). See "Management-Stock Option Plans" and Note 6 of Notes to
Financial Statements.

DILUTION

As of December 31, 1997, the net tangible book value of the Company was
approximately $8.3 million, or $0.42 per share of Common Stock. The pro forma
net tangible book deficit as of December 31, 1997 was approximately $1.5
million or $0.08 per share. Pro forma net tangible book value (deficit) per
share represents the amount of the Company's total tangible assets less total
liabilities, divided by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after
giving effect to the PAC Acquisition, the Stockholder Investment, the
establishment of the deferred tax assets in connection with the
Recapitalization and the payments of the LLC Distribution. After giving effect
to the sale by the Company of the 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock offered
hereby at the initial public offering price of $15.00 per share and the
application of the estimated net proceeds therefrom after deducting the
underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses, the pro forma net
tangible book value of the Company at December 31, 1997 would have been
approximately $46.2 million, or $1.95 per share of Common Stock. This
represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $2.03 per share
to existing stockholders and an immediate decrease in net tangible book value
of $13.05 per share to new investors. The following table illustrates this
unaudited per share dilution to new investors:

The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 1997, on a pro forma
basis, after giving effect to the number of shares issued in the PAC
Acquisition and the Stockholder Investment, the number of shares of Common
Stock previously issued by the Company, the total consideration reflected in
the accounts of the Company and the average price per share to the existing
stockholders and new investors, assuming the sale by the Company of 3,500,000
shares of Common Stock at the initial public offering price of $15.00 per
share, and before deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering
expenses:

SHARES PURCHASED TOTAL CONSIDERATION
------------------ ------------------- AVERAGE PRICE
NUMBER PERCENT AMOUNT PERCENT PER SHARE
---------- ------- ----------- ------- -------------

Existing stockholders...... 20,206,674 85.2% $ 3,060,000 5.5% $ 0.15
New investors.............. 3,500,000 14.8 52,500,000 94.5 15.00
---------- ----- ----------- -----
Total.................... 23,706,674 100.0% $55,560,000 100.0%
========== ===== =========== =====

Assuming full exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option, the
percentage of shares held by existing stockholders would be 83.0% of the total
number of shares of Common Stock to be outstanding after the Offering, and the
number of shares held by new stockholders would be increased to 4,025,000
shares, or 17.0% of the total number of shares of Common Stock to be
outstanding after the Offering. See "Risk Factors--Dilution," "Management" and
"Principal and Selling Stockholders."

The calculation of net tangible book value and the other computations above
assume no exercise of outstanding options. The Company has options outstanding
at February 28, 1998 to acquire 4,085,500 shares at exercise prices ranging
from $0.24 to $10.00 per share and a weighted average exercise price of $4.02
per share. The exercise of these options will have the effect of increasing
the net tangible book value dilution of new investors in the Offering.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Selected
Financial Data and the Financial Statements and Notes thereto included
elsewhere in this Prospectus. Certain statements in this "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" are
forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein
are based on current expectations and entail various risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in
such forward-looking statements. For a more detailed discussion of these and
other business risks, see "Risk Factors."

OVERVIEW

The Company's revenue consists of revenue from the licensing of PkMS; fees
for consulting, implementation, training and maintenance services; and revenue
from the resale of complementary radio frequency and computer equipment. In
recent years, the Company has experienced an increase in services revenue and
a decrease in hardware revenue as a percentage of total revenue. Services
revenue generally provides the Company with greater profit margins than
hardware revenue. The change in the composition of the Company's total revenue
has resulted in an increase in the Company's gross margin resulting in
increased net income.

The Company recognizes software license revenue in accordance with the
provisions of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of
Position No. 91-1, SOFTWARE REVENUE RECOGNITION. Accordingly, software license
revenue is recognized upon shipment of the software following execution of a
contract, provided that no significant vendor obligations remain outstanding,
amounts are due within one year, and collection is considered probable by
management. If significant post-delivery obligations exist, the software
license revenue, as well as other components of the contract, are recognized
using contract accounting.

The Company's services revenue consists of revenue generated from services
and maintenance related to the Company's software solutions. Services revenue
is derived from fees based on consulting, implementation and training services
contracted under separate service agreements. Revenue related to consulting,
implementation and training services performed by the Company are recognized
as the services are performed. Maintenance revenue represents amounts paid,
generally in advance, by users for the support and enhancements to the
software. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the
maintenance agreement, typically 12 months.

Hardware revenue is generated from the resale of a variety of hardware
products, developed and manufactured by third parties, that are integrated
with and complementary to the Company's software solution. As part of a
complete distribution center management solution, the Company's customers
frequently purchase hardware from the Company in conjunction with the
licensing of PkMS. These products include computer hardware, radio frequency
terminal networks, bar code printers and scanners and other peripherals.
Hardware revenue is recognized upon shipment. The Company generally purchases
hardware from its vendors only after receiving an order from a customer. As a
result, the Company does not maintain hardware inventory in any significant
amounts.

As a result of the election to report as a limited liability company that is
treated as a partnership for income tax purposes, the Company has not been
subject to federal and state income taxes. Pro forma net income amounts
discussed herein include additional provisions for income taxes on a pro forma
basis as if the Company were liable for federal and state income taxes as a
taxable corporate entity throughout the years presented. The pro forma tax
provision is calculated by applying the Company's statutory tax rate to pretax
income, adjusted for permanent tax differences. The Company's status as a
limited liability company will terminate immediately prior to the
effectiveness of the Offering and the Company will thereafter be taxed as a
business corporation.

On February 16, 1998, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of
Performance Analysis Corporation ("PAC") for approximately $2.2 million in
cash and 106,666 shares of the Company's Common Stock valued at $10.00 per
share. PAC is a developer of distribution center slotting software. The
acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price of
approximately $3.3 million has been allocated to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed, including acquired research and development of
approximately $1.6 million, purchased software of $500,000, and other
intangible assets of $765,000. Purchased software will be amortized over an
estimated two-year useful life and other intangible assets will be amortized
over a seven-year period. In connection with the PAC Acquisition, the Company
will record a charge to income of $1.6 million in the first quarter of 1998
for acquired research and development. The pro forma effects of the
acquisition of PAC have been included in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial
Statements presented elsewhere in this Prospectus. PAC is currently in the
process of developing a Windows-NT version of its existing product, SLOT-IT.
In addition, the Company plans to focus development efforts on integrating the
SLOT-IT application into a future product.

The Company determined the value of the acquired research and development of
approximately $1.6 million based on the estimated costs to reproduce the
efforts that PAC incurred to begin the development of the Windows NT version
of SLOT-IT. The Company's management estimated the time to reproduce the
product to be 20 man years. This estimate was based on the actual time
incurred by PAC to develop the software and the Company's years of experience
developing and commercializing technologies on these platforms in this
industry. The Company's management and the President and founder of PAC,
Daniel Basmajian, Sr., estimated that PAC has put in 40 man years (based on an
average of 4 developers over a period of 10 years) to develop both the DOS
based version of SLOT-IT (which is currently being marketed by the Company)
and the in-process Windows NT version of SLOT-IT. If the Company were to
recreate the Windows NT version of SLOT-IT with the benefit of an existing DOS
based version, the Company's management believes it would have spent 20 man
years to conceive, design and develop the Windows NT version in its current
form. The Company estimates that this development would have taken 10
employees approximately 2 years to develop, or 20 man years. The Company has
estimated the cost per employee based on an estimated fully loaded cost per
development employee per year and applied that cost to the 20 man years. The
fully-loaded cost of $77,000 per year per development employee was based on
the current actual average salary per development employee of $70,000 plus
payroll taxes of 7% ($5,000) and employee benefits of 3% ($2,000). This fully
loaded cost per development employee was increased by 8% for the second year
of development.

The cost approach utilized by the Company is not a widely used methodology
to value acquired research and development in a technology acquisition. The
Company's management believes this cost approach used to value the in-process
technology is an acceptable approach based on its experience with similar
transactions in the past and its experience in developing cost estimates for
designing and developing technology in the industry. However, many
acquisitions in the software industry are accounted for utilizing an income-
based approach to the valuation of acquired research and development. Although
the Company believes that an

income based approach often provides a more precise valuation, because a
market has not been established for the Windows NT product, and future cash
flow projections were thus not available, the Company elected to utilize the
cost based approach. See "Risk Factors--Risks Associated With Recent
Acquisition and Possible Acquisitions."

The Company accounted for this $1.6 million amount as acquired research and
development as the Company intends to focus its efforts on completing the
development and integrating the SLOT-IT Windows NT version into its future
client/server product. The Company currently estimates the cost to complete
the development of the Windows NT version of SLOT-IT and to fully integrate
the product into PkMS to range from approximately $500,000 to $1,000,000. The
Company expects to complete development and to begin to benefit from the
acquired project in the last half of 1999. There are no assurances that the
Company will be able to successfully complete these projects or that such
products, if completed, will achieve market acceptance. If such projects are
unsuccessful, the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations would likely be materially adversely affected. The financial
results referred to herein reflect the historical results of the Company. The
results have not been adjusted on a pro forma basis to reflect the acquisition
of PAC.

In addition, on February 16, 1998, the Company received an investment of
$1.0 million by Deepak Raghavan, the Chief Technology Officer and a Director
of the Company. This investment provided the Company with additional working
capital. In exchange for his investment, Mr. Raghavan received 100,000 shares
of the Common Stock of the Company.

======= ======= =======

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996

REVENUE

Total revenue increased 125.4% to $32.5 million in 1997 from $14.4 million
in 1996. Total revenue consists of software license revenue, revenue derived
from consulting, maintenance and other services and revenue from the sale of
hardware.

Software License. Software license revenue increased 113.5% to $7.2
million in 1997 from $3.4 million in 1996. The increase in revenue from
software licenses was primarily due to an increase in the number of
licenses of the Company's PkMS product and an increase in the average price
of software licenses. The increase in the average price of software
licenses is primarily due to increased product functionality and market
acceptance of PkMS.

Services. Services revenue increased 131.1% to $14.4 million in 1997 from
$6.2 million in 1996. The increase in revenue from services was principally
due to the increased demand for these services resulting from the increased
demand for the Company's PkMS product.

Hardware. Hardware revenue increased 126.3% to $10.9 million in 1997 from
$4.8 million in 1996. The increase in revenue from hardware was principally
due to the increased demand for the Company's PkMS product.

Cost of Revenue

COST OF SOFTWARE LICENSE. Cost of software license revenue consists of
the costs of software reproduction and delivery, media, packaging,
documentation and other related costs and the amortization of capitalized
software. Cost of software license revenue increased to $461,000, or 6.4%
of software license revenue, in 1997 from $177,000, or 5.3% of software
license revenue, in 1996. As a percentage of software license revenue, cost
of software license revenue remained relatively constant in 1997 as
compared to 1996.

COST OF SERVICES. Cost of services revenue consists primarily of
consultant salaries and other personnel-related expenses incurred in system
implementation projects and software support services. Cost of services
revenue increased to $6.2 million, or 42.7% of services revenue, in 1997
from $2.0 million, or 32.5% of services revenue, in 1996. The increase in
cost of services revenue as a percentage of services revenue is principally
due to an increase in services personnel, which resulted in an initial
increase in non-billable time incurred for training of these new personnel.

COST OF HARDWARE. Cost of hardware revenue increased to $8.0 million, or
73.5% of hardware revenue, in 1997 from $3.7 million, or 77.6% of hardware
revenue, in 1996. The decrease in the cost of hardware as a percentage of
hardware revenue is principally due to an increase in sales of hardware
products with higher gross margins as compared to the prior year.

Operating Expenses

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses principally
consist of salaries and other personnel-related costs for personnel
involved in the Company's product development efforts. The Company's
research and development expenses increased by 144.7% to $3.0 million in
1997, or 9.3% of total revenue, from $1.2 million in 1996, or 8.6% of total
revenue. The increase in research and development expenses resulted from
the addition of research and development personnel in 1997. Significant
product development efforts include the continued development of PkMS and
the development of a client/server version of PkMS. The Company believes
that a continued commitment to product development will be required for the
Company to remain competitive and expects the dollar amount of research and
development expenses to increase in the near future.

SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses include salaries,
commissions and other personnel-related costs, travel expenses, advertising
programs and other promotional activities. Sales and marketing expenses
increased by 87.9% to $3.6 million in 1997, or 11.0% of total revenue, from
$1.9 million in 1996, or 13.2% of total revenue. The increase in sales and
marketing expenses was the result of additional sales and marketing
personnel, an increase in sales commissions and expanded marketing program
activities.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries and other personnel-related costs of executive and
financial personnel, as well as facilities, legal, insurance, accounting
and other administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased by 104.6% to $3.0 million in 1997, or 9.2% of total revenue, from
$1.5 million in 1996, or 10.1% of total revenue. The increase in general
and administrative expenses was principally due to increased staffing and
other administrative expenses necessary to support the Company's growth.

Income Taxes

PRO FORMA PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The pro forma provision for income
taxes was $3.0 million in 1997, as compared to $1.5 million in 1996, as a
result of the Company's substantially increased income in 1997.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995

REVENUE

Total revenue increased 28.3% to $14.4 million in 1996 from $11.2 million in
1995. The increase in total revenue was primarily due to an increase in
revenue from services and an increase in revenue from software licenses.

Software License. Software license revenue increased 36.2% to $3.4
million in 1996 from $2.5 million in 1995. The increase in revenue from
software licenses was due to increased acceptance of the Company's products
and an increase in the average price of software licenses. The increase in
the average price of software licenses is primarily due to increased
product functionality and market acceptance of PkMS.

Services. Services revenue increased 78.0% to $6.2 million in 1996 from
$3.5 million in 1995. The increase in revenue from services was primarily
due to the increased demand for these services resulting from the increase
in the number of PkMS licenses in 1996.

Hardware. Hardware revenue decreased 8.5% to $4.8 million in 1996 from
$5.3 million in 1995. The decrease in revenue from hardware was due to
higher proportional demand for hardware products in 1995 as compared to
1996.

COST OF REVENUE

Cost of Software License. Cost of software license revenue increased to
$177,000, or 5.3% of software license revenue, in 1996 from $6,000, or 0.2%
of software license revenue, in 1995. The increase in cost of software
license revenue as a percentage of software license revenue was principally
due to an increase in the amortization expense of capitalized software.

Cost of Services. Cost of services revenue increased to $2.0 million, or
32.5% of services revenue, in 1996 from $1.7 million, or 49.7% of services
revenue, in 1995. The decrease in cost of services revenue as a percentage
of services revenue was principally due to improved utilization of services
employees as the Company realized increased operating leverage from its
services.

Cost of Hardware. Cost of hardware revenue decreased to $3.7 million, or
77.6% of hardware revenue, in 1996 from $4.0 million, or 75.9% of hardware
revenue, in 1995. The increase in the cost of hardware revenue as a
percentage of hardware revenue in 1996 as compared to 1995 was attributable
to an increase in the volume of sales of hardware products with lower gross
margins as compared to the prior year.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Research and Development. The Company's research and development expenses
increased by 8.6% to $1.2 million in 1996, or 8.6% of total revenue, from
$1.1 million in 1995, or 10.1% of total revenue. The increase in research
and development expenses was principally due to the addition of development
personnel to enhance existing products and for new product development
efforts.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 65.7% to
$1.9 million in 1996, or 13.2% of total revenue, from $1.2 million in 1995,
or 10.2% of total revenue. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was
principally due to the addition of sales and marketing personnel, an
increase in sales commissions associated with increased revenue and to
increased marketing program activities.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses increased
by 37.4% to $1.5 million in 1996, or 10.1% of total revenue, from $1.1
million in 1995, or 9.4% of total revenue. The increase in general and
administrative expenses was principally due to an increase in financial and
administrative personnel and legal and accounting fees necessary to support
the Company's growth.

Income Taxes

PRO FORMA PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The pro forma provision for income
taxes was $1.5 million in 1996 as compared to $800,000 in 1995, as a result
of the Company's substantially increased income in 1996.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994

Revenue

Total revenue increased 72.3% to $11.2 million in 1995 from $6.5 million in
1994. The increase in total revenue was due to an increase in all areas of the
Company's business.

SOFTWARE LICENSE. Software license revenue increased 38.3% to $2.5
million in 1995 from $1.8 million in 1994. The increase in revenue from
software licenses was due to increased acceptance of the Company's PkMS
product and an increase in the average price of software licenses. The
increase in the average price of software licenses is primarily due to
increased product functionality and market acceptance of PkMS.

SERVICES. Services revenue increased 120.7% to $3.5 million in 1995 from
$1.6 million in 1994. The increase in revenue from services was principally
attributable to an increased demand for these services resulting from the
increase in the number of PkMS licenses in 1995.

HARDWARE. Hardware revenue increased 67.1% to $5.3 million in 1995 from
$3.1 million in 1994. The increase in revenue from hardware was due to an
increased demand for the Company's PkMS product.

Cost of Revenue

COST OF SOFTWARE LICENSE. Cost of software license revenue increased to
$6,000, or 0.2% of software license revenue, in 1995 from $2,000, or 0.1%
of software license revenue, in 1994.

COST OF SERVICES. Cost of services revenue increased to $1.7 million, or
49.7% of services revenue, in 1995 from $1.3 million, or 81.5% of services
revenue, in 1994. The decrease in cost of services revenue as a percentage
of revenue is principally due to improved utilization of employees as the
Company realized increased operating leverage from its services
infrastructure.

COST OF HARDWARE. Cost of hardware revenue increased to $4.0 million, or
75.9% of hardware revenue, in 1995 from $2.5 million, or 78.1% of hardware
revenue, in 1994. The decrease in the cost of hardware revenue as a
percentage of hardware revenue is principally due to a decrease in the
volume of sales of hardware products with lower margins as compared to the
prior year.

Operating Expenses

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. The Company's research and development expenses
increased by 247.0% to $1.1 million in 1995, or 10.1% of total revenue,
from $328,000 in 1994, or 5.0% of total revenue. The increase in research
and development resulted from the addition of development personnel to
enhance its products and for new product development efforts.

SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 118.1% to
$1.2 million in 1995, or 10.2% of total revenue, from $526,000 in 1994, or
8.1% of total revenue. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was due
to the addition of sales and marketing personnel and increased marketing
expenses.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses increased
by 155.6% to $1.1 million in 1995, or 9.4% of total revenue, from $414,000
in 1994, or 6.4% of total revenue. The increase in general and
administrative expenses was due to an increase in legal and accounting fees
as well as other administrative expenses necessary to support the Company's
growth.

Income Taxes

PRO FORMA PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The pro forma provision for income
taxes was $800,000 in 1995, as compared to $564,000 in 1994, as a result of
the Company's increased income in 1995.

===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== =====

The Company's operations and related revenue and operating results could
vary substantially from quarter to quarter. Among the factors causing these
potential variations are fluctuations in the demand for the Company's
products, the level of product and price competition in the Company's markets,
the length of the Company's sales process, the size and timing of individual
transactions, the mix of products and services sold, delays in, or
cancellations of, customer implementations, the Company's success in expanding
its services and customer support organizations as well as its direct sales
force and indirect distribution channels, the timing of new product
introductions and enhancements by the Company or its competitors, commercial
strategies adopted by competitors, changes in foreign currency exchange rates,
customers' budget constraints, the Company's ability to control costs and
general economic conditions. A substantial portion of the Company's operating
expenses, particularly personnel and facilities costs, are relatively fixed in
advance of any particular quarter. As a result, any delay in the recognition
of revenue may cause significant variations in operating results in any
particular quarter. In addition, an increase or decrease in hardware sales,
which provide the Company with lower gross margins than sales of software
licenses or services, may contribute to the variability of the Company's
operational results in any particular quarter. As a result of the foregoing
factors, the Company's operating results for a future quarter may be above or
below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. Should the
Company's revenue and operating results fall below expectations, the price of
the Company's Common Stock would be materially adversely affected. See "Risk
Factors--Potential Variability of Quarterly Operations and Financial Results."

The Company's ability to undertake new projects and increase revenue is
substantially dependent on the availability of the Company's consulting
services personnel to assist in the implementation of the Company's software
solution. The Company believes that supporting greater-than-anticipated growth
in revenue would require the Company to rapidly hire additional skilled
personnel for the Company's consulting services group, and there can be no
assurance that qualified personnel could be located, trained or retained in a
timely and cost-effective manner.

As a result of the foregoing and other factors, the Company believes that
quarter-to-quarter comparisons of results are not necessarily meaningful, and
such comparisons should not be relied upon as indications of future
performance. Fluctuations in operating results may also result in volatility
in the price of the shares of the Company's Common Stock. See "Risk Factors--
Potential Variability of Quarterly Operations and Financial Results," "--
Ability to Manage Growth" and "--New Management Team; Dependence on Key
Personnel."

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since inception, the Company has funded its operations to date primarily
through cash generated from operations. In addition, the Company has also
borrowed money from its majority shareholder. As of December 31, 1997, the
Company had $3.2 million in cash and cash equivalents.

The Company's operating activities provided cash of $7.0 million in 1997,
$4.0 million in 1996 and $3.1 million in 1995. Cash from operating activities
arose principally from the Company's profitable operations and was utilized
for working capital purposes, principally increases in accounts receivable.
The increase in accounts receivable primarily reflected the Company's
continued revenue growth.

Cash used for investing activities was approximately $1.8 million in 1997,
$485,000 in 1996 and $418,000 in 1995. The Company's use of cash was primarily
for the purchase of capital equipment, such as computer equipment and
furniture and fixtures, to support the Company's growth.

Cash used for financing activities was approximately $5.1 million in 1997,
$2.9 million in 1996 and $273,000 in 1995. The principal use of cash was
distributions to the Company's stockholders, partially reduced by borrowings
from the Company's majority stockholder. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Certain
Transactions."

The Company has entered into a line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank to
fund its proposed distribution to the Manhattan LLC stockholders and to fund
its continuing working capital needs. The line of credit does not contain any
conditions or restrictive covenants that would materially affect the Company's
business, financial condition or results of operations. Prior to the Offering,
this distribution will cause the Company to sustain, on a pro forma basis as
of December 31, 1997, a working capital deficit of $3.6 million and a
stockholders' deficit of $120,000. There can be no assurance that the
remaining net proceeds from the Offering will be sufficient to pay for future
acquisitions, planned research and development projects and other growth-
oriented activities, which could require the Company to incur additional debt
or other financing that could impose restrictive covenants and other terms
having a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations. See "Risk Factors--Conversion From
Limited Liability Company ("LLC") Status and Utilization of Significant
Portion of the Offering Proceeds to Satisfy Indebtedness Incurred to Fund
Distributions to Current Stockholders."

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
130 ("SFAS 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 is designed
to improve the reporting of changes in equity from period to period. The
Company will adopt SFAS No. 130 effective with its fiscal year ending December
31, 1998.

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information." SFAS No. 131 requires that an enterprise disclose certain
information about operating segments. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 131
effective with its fiscal year ending December 31, 1998.

In October 1997, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position 97-2 ("SOP 97-2"), "Software Revenue
Recognition." SOP 97-2 supersedes SOP 91-1, and is effective for the Company
beginning after December 15, 1997. SOP 97-2 provides further guidance on
recognizing revenue on software transactions.

The Company's management does not believe that the adoption of these
pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company's financial position
or results of operations.

BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

Over the past two decades, the flow of goods through the supply chain from
manufacturers to consumers has undergone significant changes. These changes
began in the United States textile industry, which, faced with increased
global competition, implemented an industry-wide initiative in the 1980s to
lower the cost of goods sold through more efficient inventory management. This
initiative, which became known as "Quick Response," uses technology to improve
the flow of information among manufacturers, distributors and retailers. Quick
Response has allowed retailers to more rapidly advise manufacturers and
distributors of their inventory replenishment needs and has allowed
manufacturers and distributors to more efficiently restock retailers. As a
result, textile product retailers have been able not only to reduce their idle
inventory and cost of goods sold, but also to offer a broader range of
products.

More recently, the consumer products industry experienced a similar supply
chain re-engineering, driven primarily by the emergence of national superstore
chains and category stores. The business model of these stores, which promotes
wider product offerings, lower gross profit margins and a higher rate of
inventory turnover than traditional stores, represented a competitive threat
to retailers of similar products.

In order to remain competitive in this changing retail landscape, many
retailers have demanded that manufacturers and distributors apply Quick
Response principles to their supply chain operations to achieve lower costs
and higher levels of service. Retailers' demands include more sophisticated
distribution services, such as more frequent store-specific inventory
replenishments, more customized packing of goods within each delivery to
reduce in-store unpacking times, more sophisticated packaging and labeling of
goods to meet merchandising strategies, and the exchange of trading
information in compliance with electronic data interchange ("EDI") standards.
Demand for these more sophisticated distribution services requires significant
modification of distribution center operations for manufacturers and
distributors. For example, a manufacturer that previously may have made one
bulk shipment to each of six customer distribution centers each month may now
be required to ship more than 10,000 custom-packed and labeled orders per
month directly to multiple customers' stores or to the customers' distribution
centers for immediate reshipment to stores.

As a result of these retailer demands, distribution centers have increased
in size, complexity and cost. Distribution centers today can comprise one
million square feet or more with thousands of stock keeping units ("SKUs") and
multi-million dollar investments in automated materials handling equipment.
The efficient management of a distribution center operation now

requires collecting information regarding customer orders, inbound shipments
of products, products available on-site, product storage locations, weights
and sizes, and outbound shipping data (including customer- or store-specific
shipping requirements, routing data and carrier requirements). This
information must be analyzed dynamically to determine the most efficient use
of the distribution center's labor, materials handling equipment, packaging
equipment and shipping and receiving areas. Additionally, manufacturers,
distributors and retailers must exchange information with other participants
in the supply chain in order to effectively integrate the operation of their
distribution centers with the entire supply chain.

In response to these new distribution center challenges, companies have
implemented information technology systems designed to manage this new
distribution environment. Gartner Group, an independent industry analysis and
research firm, estimates that the distribution center management systems
market totaled more than $900 million in revenue in 1997, and that the market
is currently growing at 35% annually. Furthermore, Gartner Group projects that
the majority of the current installed base of largely internally developed
software will be replaced by 2001. An effective distribution center management
system must have the ability to integrate with: (i) enterprise resource
planning ("ERP") systems; (ii) supply chain management ("SCM") systems such as
transportation, order management and demand planning; and (iii) the existing
distribution center equipment, including related radio frequency ("RF")
equipment and automated materials handling equipment. In addition, customers
frequently require their distribution center management systems to incorporate
customer-driven modifications to their packaging, information and
transportation services, new technologies and newly-defined best practices in
their industry. Distribution center management systems also must operate with
high reliability and efficiency while supporting very high transaction volumes
and multiple users, and therefore are almost exclusively deployed on UNIX or
large-scale enterprise servers.

Traditionally, distribution center management systems have been highly
customized, difficult to upgrade and have required costly and lengthy
implementations. Furthermore, these systems have not readily supported the
increased volumes and complexities associated with recent advances in supply
chain re-engineering initiatives. Most providers of these systems have not
focused on specific vertical markets but rather have attempted to customize
their solutions to differing vertical market demands with each implementation.
As a result, many of these providers have been unable to effectively leverage
industry-specific expertise for use in future implementations.

THE MANHATTAN SOLUTION

customer service and increasing the productivity of labor, facilities and
materials handling equipment. The Company has developed robust, high volume
systems for manufacturers, distributors and retailers of consumer products to
support Quick Response and other industry and supply chain initiatives. PkMS
employs leading relational database technology and can be easily integrated
with third party software applications, including the ERP and SCM systems of
its customers.

The Manhattan solutions feature PkMS, a modular software system that,
together with the Company's consulting, implementation and maintenance
services, provides:

. COMPREHENSIVE FUNCTIONALITY--PkMS addresses a full range of requirements
of modern, complex distribution centers with an existing product rather
than custom-designed and developed applications. PkMS provides
comprehensive functionality for specific vertical markets incorporating
industry-wide initiatives.

. EASE OF IMPLEMENTATION--PkMS' modular design, along with the Company's
knowledge of specific vertical markets and expertise in planning and
installation, allows the Company's solutions to be implemented more
rapidly than highly-customized distribution center management systems. A
typical implementation can often be completed within six months. Because
of its modular design, PkMS can be implemented in phases to meet
specific customer demands.

. TIMELY RESPONSE TO INDUSTRY INITIATIVES--PkMS features a comprehensive
maintenance program to provide its customers with timely software
upgrades offering increased functionality and technological advances
which address emerging supply chain and other industry initiatives.

. FLEXIBILITY AND CONFIGURABILITY--PkMS is designed to be easily
configured to meet a distribution center's specific requirements and
reconfigured to meet changing customer requirements.

. SCALEABILITY--PkMS is designed to facilitate the management of evolving
distribution center systems to accommodate increases in the number of
system users, complexity and distribution volume.

In addition, through its recent acquisition of PAC, the Company offers
slotting functionality, which helps determine the optimal storage location for
inventory within a distribution center. See "--Recent Developments."

STRATEGY

The Company's objective is to be the leading provider of information
technology solutions that enable distribution centers to more efficiently
manage the movement of goods through the supply chain. The Company will
continue to provide solutions to targeted vertical markets by offering
advanced, highly functional, highly scaleable applications that allow
customers to leverage their investment in distribution centers and meet
frequently-changing customer requirements. The Company's strategy to achieve
this objective includes the following key elements:

Enhance Core Product Functionality. The Company intends to continue to focus
its product development resources on the development and enhancement of PkMS
to extend its functionality and enable its operation on client/server
platforms. The Company identifies further enhancements to PkMS through on-
going customer consulting engagements and implementations, interactions with
its user groups and participation in industry standards and research
committees. The Company intends to continue to achieve these development
objectives through both its internal research and development activities and
selected acquisitions of complementary products and technologies.

Target New Vertical Markets. The Company to date has focused its marketing,
sales and product development efforts on specific vertical markets,
particularly in the apparel manufacturing industry. The Company is
increasingly targeting additional vertical markets, including food service,
grocery and other retailers. In addition, the Company plans to target other
vertical markets that adopt Quick Response, Efficient Consumer Response and
similar industry initiatives.

Expand Sales, Services and Marketing Organizations. Manhattan currently
sells and supports PkMS through its direct sales and services personnel. The
Company plans to invest significantly in expanding its sales, services and
marketing organizations and to pursue strategic marketing partnerships with
systems integrators and third party software application providers.

Develop International Sales. The Company has historically focused its sales
efforts on customers in the United States. The Company intends to add sales
personnel and establish offices focused on international opportunities and
pursue strategic marketing partnerships with international systems integrators
and third party software application providers.

Expand Integration with Complementary Products. The Company believes that
the ability to offer a software solution that can extend integration with
leading third party software applications will continue to provide a
significant competitive advantage. The Company intends to continue to develop
PkMS to integrate with complementary SCM, ERP and other business applications.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Software. PkMS, the Company's principal software product, features a modular
design which permits customers to selectively implement specific functionality
depending on the needs of each distribution facility or operation.

The following table describes the functions of the PkMS modules:

MODULE DESCRIPTION

System appropriate documentation for parcel carriers
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Order Allocation . Prioritizes and allocates orders based on current aggregate inventory levels for customers whose
System host system is unable to perform this function
ADVANCE SHIP NOTICE ENABLES A CUSTOMER'S SUPPLIERS IN REMOTE LOCATIONS TO CREATE ADVANCED SHIP NOTICES FOR THE
ENABLER SYSTEM CUSTOMER'S RECEIVING DISTRIBUTION CENTER

Through its recent acquisition of PAC, the Company offers SLOT-IT, a
software application with "slotting" functionality. Slotting is the process by
which inventory items are stored in the optimal physical location within a
distribution center. By using decision-support algorithms, SLOT-IT helps
determine the optimal location based upon such factors as historical shipment
volumes, seasonal demands, location of related products, and physical size and
stacking characteristics of a product. Historically, distribution centers
using SLOT-IT have realized increased efficiency in managing stock locating,
stock picking, order packing and shipment of products.

Consulting Services. The Company's consulting services provide its customers
with expertise and assistance in planning and implementing the Company's
solutions. To ensure a successful product implementation, consultants assist
customers with the initial installation of a system, the conversion and
transfer of the customer's historical data onto the Company's system, and
ongoing training, education and upgrades. The Company believes that its
consulting services enable the customer to implement PkMS rapidly, ensure the
customer's success with the Company's solution, strengthen the relationship
with the customer, and add to the Company's industry-specific knowledge base
for use in future implementations and product development efforts.

Although the Company's consulting services are optional, substantially all
of its customers utilize these services for the implementation and ongoing
support of the Company's software products. Consulting services are billed on
an hourly basis. The Company believes that the complexity of platforms on
which the current products operate and the increased complexity of its planned
client/server product will result in an increased demand for consulting
services. Accordingly, the Company plans to substantially increase the number
of consultants to support anticipated growth in product implementations and
upgrades. To the extent the Company is unable to attract, train and retain
qualified consulting personnel, the Company's operating results may be
adversely affected. See "Risk Factors--Ability to Manage Growth" and "--New
Management Team; Dependence on Key Personnel."

The Company's consulting services group consists of business consultants,
systems analysts and technical personnel devoted to assisting customers in all
phases of systems implementation including planning and design, customer-
specific configuring of modules, and on-site implementation or conversion from
existing systems. The Company's consulting personnel undergo training on
distribution center operations and the Company's products. The Company
believes that this training, together with the ease of implementation of its
products, enables it to productively utilize newly-hired consulting personnel
more rapidly than its competitors. The Company may increasingly utilize third
party consultants, such as those from major systems integrators, to assist in
certain implementations.

Maintenance. PkMS features a comprehensive maintenance program which
provides its customers with timely software upgrades offering increased
functionality and technological advances which incorporate emerging supply
chain and other industry initiatives. As of December 31, 1997, a majority of
the Company's customers had subscribed to the Company's comprehensive
maintenance support program. The Company has the ability to remotely access
the customer's system in order to perform diagnostics, on-line assistance and
software upgrades. All of the Company's annual maintenance agreements entitle
customers to software product upgrades. The Company offers a standard annual
maintenance option providing for customer telephone support during normal
business hours for 15% of the current software license fee and 24 hour
maintenance for 20% percent of the current software license fee.

Hardware. The Company's products operate on multiple hardware platforms
utilizing various hardware systems and interoperate with many third party
software applications and legacy systems. This open system capability enables
customers to continue using their existing computer resources and to choose
among a wide variety of existing and emerging computer hardware and peripheral
technologies.

In conjunction with the licensing of PkMS, the Company resells a variety of
hardware products developed and manufactured by third parties in order to
provide the Company's customers with an integrated distribution center
management solution. These products include computer hardware, radio frequency
terminal networks, bar code printers and scanners, and other peripherals. The
Company resells all third party hardware products pursuant to agreements with
manufacturers or through distributor authorized reseller agreements pursuant
to which the Company is entitled to purchase hardware products at discount
prices and to receive technical support in connection with product
installations and any subsequent product malfunctions. The Company generally
purchases hardware from its vendors only after receiving an order from a
customer. As a result, the Company does not maintain hardware inventory in any
significant amounts.

SALES AND MARKETING

To date, substantially all of the Company's revenue has been generated
through its direct sales force. The Company plans to continue to invest
significantly in expanding its sales, support, services and marketing
organizations within the United States, and to pursue strategic marketing
partnerships. The Company conducts comprehensive marketing programs that
include advertising, public relations, trade shows, joint programs with
vendors and consultants and ongoing customer communication programs. The sales
cycle typically begins with the generation of a sales lead or the receipt of a
request for proposal from a prospective customer. The sales lead or request
for proposal is followed by the qualification of the lead or prospect, an
assessment of the customer's requirements, a formal response to the request
for proposal, presentations and product demonstrations, site visits to an
existing customer utilizing the Company's distribution center management
system and contract negotiation. The sales cycle can vary substantially from
customer to customer but typically requires three to six months.

CUSTOMERS

To date, the Company's customers have been primarily manufacturers,
distributors and retailers in the apparel, consumer products, food service and
grocery market segments. The Company plans to expand its presence in the
health and beauty products, industrial products and automotive products
markets. As of December 31, 1997, PkMS was licensed for use by more than 250
customers including Calvin Klein, Dean Foods, Jockey International, Mikasa,
Nordstrom, Patagonia, Playtex Apparel, SEIKO Corporation of America, The
Sports Authority, Timberland and Warnaco. The following table sets forth a
representative list of the Company's customers as of December 31, 1997, that
have purchased at least $100,000 in products and services from the Company.

the Company's total revenue in 1997 and 1996, respectively. No single customer
accounted for 10% or more of the Company's total revenue during any of the
three years ended December 31, 1997.

Customers of PAC, which the Company recently acquired, operate primarily in
the grocery market segment. PAC customers include Associated Wholesale
Grocers, Food Lion, Nautica, Stop & Shop and SUPERVALU. See "--Recent
Developments."

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

The Company's development efforts are focused on adding new functionality to
existing products and enhancing the operability of its products across
distributed and changing heterogeneous hardware platforms, operating systems
and relational database systems. The Company believes that its future success
depends in part upon its ability to continue to enhance existing products,
respond to changing customer requirements and develop and introduce new or
enhanced products that incorporate new technological developments and emerging
industry standards. To that end, the Company's development efforts frequently
focus on base system enhancements incorporating new user requirements and
potential features identified through customer interaction and systems
implementations. As a result, the Company is able to continue to offer its
customers a highly configurable product with increasing functionality rather
than a custom-developed software program.

The Company is currently devoting a significant portion of its research and
development efforts to the development of a client/server version of PkMS
which will operate using the Windows 95 operating system and the Windows NT,
UNIX and AS/400 server operating environments. As part of this development
effort, the Company is employing a multi-tiered architecture based on a CORBA
interface that facilitates scaleability and standardizes interfaces to other
enterprise software applications. The Company is also employing object-
oriented design frameworks which may require less code and may simplify future
maintenance and upgrades. The Company intends to employ a more intuitive
graphical user interface in the client/server version of PkMS and to employ
installation "wizards" designed to ease the installation and configuration of
the product.

The Company is also currently developing new functionality for PkMS, such as
features designed to enhance worker productivity, improve yard management and
schedule inbound shipment receiving appointments. The Company also plans to
focus development efforts on integrating the SLOT-IT application, which was
recently acquired in connection with the PAC acquisition, into future releases
of PkMS. The Company plans to continue to conduct its development efforts
internally in order to retain development knowledge and promote the continuity
of programming standards.

The Company's research and development expenditures for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 were $3.0 million, $1.2 million and $1.1
million, respectively. The Company intends to continue to increase its
investment in product development in the future.

COMPETITION

The Company's products are targeted at the distribution center management
systems market, which is intensely competitive and characterized by rapid
technological change. The principal competitive factors affecting the market
for the Company's products include vendor and product reputation; product
architecture, functionality and features; ease and speed of implementation;
return on investment; product quality, price and performance; and level of
support. The Company believes that it competes favorably with respect to each
of these factors. The Company's competitors are diverse and offer a variety of
solutions directed at various aspects of the supply chain, as well as the
enterprise as a whole. The Company's existing competitors include: (i)
distribution center management software vendors including Catalyst
International, Inc., EXE Technologies, Inc., Haushahn Systems & Engineers and
McHugh Software International, Inc.; (ii) the corporate information technology
departments of potential customers capable of internally developing solutions;
and (iii) smaller independent companies that have developed or are attempting
to develop distribution center management software that competes with the
Company's software solution.

The Company may face competition in the future from (i) business application
software vendors that may broaden their product offerings by internally
developing, or by acquiring or partnering with independent developers of,
distribution center management software; and (ii) ERP and SCM applications
vendors. To the extent such ERP and SCM vendors develop or acquire systems
with functionality comparable or superior to the Company's products, their
significant installed customer bases, long-standing customer relationships and
ability to offer a broad solution could provide a significant competitive
advantage over the Company. In addition, it is possible that new competitors
or alliances among current and new competitors may emerge and rapidly gain
significant market share. Increased competition could result in price
reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced gross margins and loss of market
share.

Many of the Company's competitors and potential competitors have longer
operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and
other resources, greater name

recognition and a larger installed base of customers than the Company. In
order to be successful in the future, the Company must continue to respond
promptly and effectively to technological change and competitors' innovations.
There can be no assurance that current or potential competitors of the Company
will not develop products comparable or superior in terms of price and
performance features to those developed by the Company. In addition, no
assurance can be given that the Company will not be required to make
substantial additional investments in connection with its research,
development, marketing, sales and customer service efforts in order to meet
any competitive threat, or that the Company will be able to compete
successfully in the future. Increased competition will result in reductions in
market share, pressure for price reductions and related reductions in gross
margins, any of which could materially and adversely affect the Company's
ability to achieve its financial and business goals. There can be no assurance
that in the future the Company will be able to successfully compete against
current and future competitors. See "Risk Factors--Competition."

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

The Company relies on a combination of copyright, trade secret, trademark,
service mark and trade dress laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual
provisions to protect its proprietary rights in its PkMS product and
technology. The Company has registered trademarks in "PkMS" and the Manhattan
Associates, Inc. logo. The Company has no registered copyrights. The Company
generally enters into confidentiality agreements with its employees,
consultants, clients and potential clients and limits access to, and
distribution of, its proprietary information. The Company licenses PkMS to its
customers in source code format and restricts the customer's use for internal
purposes without the right to sublicense the PkMS product. However, the
Company believes that the foregoing measures afford only limited protection.
Despite the Company's efforts to safeguard and maintain its proprietary rights
both in the United States and abroad, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be successful in doing so or that the steps taken by the Company
in this regard will be adequate to deter misappropriation or independent third
party development of the Company's technology or to prevent an unauthorized
third party from copying or otherwise obtaining and using the Company's
products or technology. In addition, policing unauthorized use of the
Company's products is difficult, and while the Company is unable to determine
the extent to which piracy of its software products exist, software piracy
could become a problem.

As the number of supply chain management applications in the industry
increases and the functionality of these products further overlaps, companies
that develop software, like Manhattan, may increasingly become subject to
claims of infringement or misappropriation of the intellectual property rights
of others. There can be no assurance that third parties will not assert
infringement or misappropriation claims against the Company in the future with
respect to current or future products. Any claims or litigation, with or
without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, diversion
of management's attention and cause product shipment delays or require the
Company to enter into royalty or licensing arrangements. Such royalty or
licensing arrangements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable
to the Company, if at all, which could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Adverse
determinations in such claims or litigation could also have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.

The Company may be subject to additional risks as it enters into
transactions in countries where intellectual property laws are not well
developed or are poorly enforced. Legal protections of the Company's rights
may be ineffective in such countries. Litigation to defend and enforce the
Company's intellectual property rights could result in substantial costs and

diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations, regardless
of the final outcome of such litigation. Despite the Company's efforts to
safeguard and maintain its proprietary rights both in the United States and
abroad, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in doing
so, or that the steps taken by the Company in this regard will be adequate to
deter misappropriation or independent third party development of the Company's
technology or to prevent an unauthorized third party from copying or otherwise
obtaining and using the Company's products or technology. Any such events
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations. See "Risk Factors--Intellectual Property
Rights."

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 1997, the Company had 191 full-time employees. None of
the employees of the Company is covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
The Company considers its relations with its employees to be good. As of
February 28, 1998, certain of the Company's employees were employed pursuant
to the H-1(B), non-immigrant work-permitted visa classification. See "Risk
Factors--Immigration Issues."

The Company believes its future success will depend in large part on its
ability to recruit and retain qualified employees, especially experienced
software engineering personnel. The competition for such personnel is intense,
and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in retaining
or recruiting key personnel. See "Risk Factors--Ability to Manage Growth" and
"--New Management Team; Dependence on Key Personnel."

PROPERTIES

The Company's principal administrative, sales, marketing, support, and
research and development facility is located in approximately 63,000 square
feet of modern office space in Atlanta, Georgia. This facility is leased to
the Company through December 31, 2002. Management believes its current
facilities are adequate for its present requirements. However, the Company
expects in the future to expand into additional facilities.

COMPANY HISTORY

The Company is a Georgia corporation formed to own all of the assets and
liabilities of Manhattan LLC. Manhattan LLC was formed in 1995 by the
contribution of the assets, liabilities and intellectual property rights of
Pegasys Systems Incorporated ("Pegasys") and the contribution of certain
intellectual property rights from the other founders of Manhattan LLC. Pegasys
is controlled by Alan J. Dabbiere, the Company's Chairman of the Board, Chief
Executive Officer and President. After the Restructuring, Pegasys, and Mr.
Dabbiere through his control of Pegasys, will be a controlling stockholder of
the Company. See "Principal and Selling Stockholders."

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On February 16, 1998, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of
Performance Analysis Corporation for $2.2 million in cash and 106,666 shares
of the Company's Common Stock valued at $10.00 per share. PAC is a developer
of distribution center slotting software. The PAC acquisition will be
accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price of approximately $3.3 million
has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed including
acquired research and development of $1.6 million, purchased software of
$500,000, and other intangible

assets of $765,000. Purchased software will be amortized over an estimated
two-year useful life and other intangible assets will be amortized over a
seven-year period. In connection with the PAC Acquisition, the Company will
record a charge to income of approximately $1.6 million in the first quarter
of 1998 for acquired research and development.

In the past year, the Company has appointed five persons as executive
officers to fill new positions created to allow the Company to execute its
growth strategy and to provide the infrastructure necessary for a public
company. In addition, the Company intends to add Brian J. Cassidy and Charles
W. McCall as members of its Board of Directors within 90 days after the date
of this Prospectus. See "Risk Factors--New Management Team; Dependence on Key
Personnel" and "Management."

BOARD COMMITTEES

The Board of Directors has established an Executive Committee comprised of

exercise all authority of the Board of Directors of the Company, except as
limited by the Georgia Business Corporation Code ("GBCC"). Under Georgia law,
an Executive Committee may not, among other things, approve or propose to
stockholders actions required to be approved by stockholders, fill vacancies
on the Board of Directors or any of its committees, amend or repeal the bylaws
of the Company or approve a plan of merger not requiring stockholder approval.
Upon the addition of the two or more outside directors, the Company will name
directors to serve on the Compensation and Audit Committees. The Compensation
Committee will be responsible for reviewing and recommending salaries, bonuses
and other compensation for the Company's officers. The Compensation Committee
will also be responsible for administering the Company's stock

option plans and for establishing the terms and conditions of all stock
options granted under these plans. The Audit Committee will be responsible for
recommending independent auditors, reviewing with the independent auditors the
scope and results of the audit engagement, monitoring the Company's financial

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

During 1997, compensation of executive officers of the Company was
determined by Alan J. Dabbiere, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer
and President of the Company. After completion of the Offering and appointment
of outside directors, the Company will establish a Compensation Committee to
review the performance of executive officers, establish overall employee
compensation policies and recommend to the Board of Directors major
compensation programs. No member of the Compensation Committee will be an
executive officer of the Company.

the year ended December 31, 1997, to each of the Named Executive Officers:

- --------
(1) Amounts represent hypothetical gains that could be achieved for the
respective options if exercised at the end of the option term. These gains
are based on the fair market value per share on the date of grant ($2.50
in the case of Mr. Cooper and $5.00 in the case of Mr. Cronin) and assumed
rates of stock price appreciation of 5% and 10% compounded annually from
the date the respective options were granted to their expiration date.
These assumptions are mandated by the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and are not intended to forecast future appreciation of the
Company's stock price. The potential realizable value computation is net
of the applicable exercise price, but does not take into account federal
or state income tax consequences and other expenses of option exercises or
sales of appreciated stock. Actual gains, if any, are dependent upon the
timing of such exercise and the future performance of the Company's Common
Stock. There can be no assurance that the rates of appreciation in this
table can be achieved. This table does not take into account any
appreciation in the price of the Common Stock to date.
(2) This option was granted on November 14, 1997 with an exercise price below
the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant as
determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors determined
the fair market value based on various factors including independent
appraisals, the illiquidity of the Common Stock representing a minority
interest in the Company, values of similarly situated companies and the
Company's future prospects. The option is a nonqualified stock option
which vests beginning November 14, 1998 in equal annual installments over
three years and has a ten year term.
(3) This option was granted on August 11, 1997 with an exercise price equal to
the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant as
determined by the Board of Directors. The option is a nonqualified stock
option, and 60,000 shares vest over the first six months of the option
term in equal monthly installments, 40,000 shares vest on each of August
11, 1998 and August 11, 1999 and the remaining 60,000 shares vest on
August 11, 2000. The option has a ten year term.

AGGREGATED OPTION EXERCISES IN LAST FISCAL YEAR AND YEAR-END OPTION VALUES

No Named Executive Officer exercised any stock option during 1997. The
following table summarizes the value of the outstanding options held by the

(1) Based on the estimated fair market value of the Company's Common Stock as
of December 31, 1997 of $7.50 per share, less the exercise price payable
upon exercise of such options. The Board of Directors determined the fair
market value based on various factors including independent appraisals,
the illiquidity of the Common Stock representing a minority interest in
the Company, values of similarly situated companies and the Company's
future prospects.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

Manhattan Associates, LLC Option Plan. The Manhattan Associates, LLC Option
Plan (the "LLC Option Plan") became effective on January 1, 1997. The
aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the LLC Option Plan was
5,000,000 shares. The purpose of the LLC Option Plan was to provide incentives
for key employees, officers, consultants and directors to promote the success
of the Company and to enhance the Company's ability to attract and retain the
services of such persons. Options granted under the LLC Option Plan were not
options

intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" under Section 422 of the
Code. As of February 28, 1998, no additional options may be granted pursuant
to the LLC Option Plan.

As of February 28, 1998, options to purchase 3,355,716 shares of Common
Stock were outstanding under the LLC Option Plan at a weighted average
exercise price of $4.66 per share, and no shares of Common Stock have been
issued upon exercise of options granted under the LLC Option Plan.

STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN. The Company's 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock
Incentive Plan") was adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by the
shareholders of the Company in February 1998. Up to 5,000,000 shares of Common
Stock (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and other similar
events), less the number of shares issued under the LLC Option Plan, may be
issued pursuant to stock options and other stock incentives granted under the
Stock Incentive Plan. As of February 28, 1998, no options to purchase shares
of Common Stock or other stock incentives were outstanding under the Stock
Incentive Plan and no shares of Common Stock had been issued pursuant to or
upon the exercise of options or other stock incentives granted under the Stock
Incentive Plan.

The Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options
intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock awards and
stock appreciation rights ("SARs", and, together with the other options and
incentives, "Awards"). Officers, employees, directors, advisors and
consultants of the Company and any subsidiaries of the Company are eligible to
be granted Awards under the Stock Incentive Plan. Under present law, however,
incentive stock options may be granted only to employees. The granting of
Awards under the Stock Incentive Plan is discretionary. The Company will be
required to recognize compensation expense over the vesting period of any SARs
granted.

Optionees receive the right to purchase a specified number of shares of
Common Stock at a specified option price and subject to such other terms and
conditions as are specified in connection with the option grant. Options may
be granted at an exercise price that may be less than, equal to or greater
than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Under
present law, incentive stock options may not be granted at an exercise price
less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant (or
less than 110% of the fair market value in the case of incentive stock options
granted to optionees holding more than 10% of the voting power of the
Company). The Stock Incentive Plan permits the payment of the exercise price
of options to be in the form of cash, or if the individual option agreement so
provides, by surrender to the Company of shares of Common Stock or by a
cashless exercise through a brokerage transaction.

The Stock Incentive Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors. The
Board may appoint a committee consisting of at least two nonemployee
directors, which may be the Compensation Committee, to administer the Stock
Incentive Plan. To date, no such committee has been formed pending the
election of nonemployee directors to the Board of Directors. The Board and any
such committee will have the authority to adopt, amend and repeal the
administrative rules, guidelines and practices relating to the Stock Incentive
Plan generally and to interpret the provisions thereof. The Board of Directors
and any such committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award
and with respect to new Awards will determine (i) the number of shares of
Common Stock covered by options, restricted stock awards or SARs, the dates
upon which such options or SARs become exercisable and the restrictions on
restricted stock lapse, (ii) the exercise price of options and SARs and the
purchase price, if any, of restricted stock, (iii) the duration of options and
SARs and (iv) conditions and duration of restrictions on restricted stock.

No Award may be made under the Stock Incentive Plan after February 2008, but
Awards previously granted may extend beyond that time. The Board of Directors
may at any time

terminate the Stock Incentive Plan. Any such termination will not affect
outstanding options, restricted stock or SARs.

OTHER OPTIONS. In addition to options issued under the LLC Option Plan, as
of February 28, 1998, the Company has outstanding options to purchase an
aggregate of 729,784 shares of Common Stock to employees outside of the LLC
Option Plan and the Stock Incentive Plan at weighted average exercise price of
$1.20 per share.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS

401(k) Profit Sharing Plan. The Company maintains a 401(k) Plan (the "401(k)
Plan") which is intended to be a tax-qualified contribution plan under Section
401(k) of the Code. Pursuant to the 401(k) Plan, participants may contribute,
subject to certain Code limitations, up to 10% of eligible compensation, as
defined, to the 401(k) Plan. Employees are eligible for this arrangement upon
completion of their first calendar month of employment. The Company will
match contributions made by employees pursuant to the 401(k) Plan at a rate of
50% of the participant's contributions, up to 6% of the eligible compensation
being contributed after the participant's first year of employment, subject to
certain Code limitations. All employees of the Company who have completed one
year of service with the Company consisting of at least 1,000 hours of
employment are eligible for the matching contribution. The Company may make an
additional contribution to participants' 401(k) Plans each year at the
discretion of the Board of Directors. The portion of a participant's account
attributable to his or her own contributions is 100% vested. The portion of
the account attributable to Company contributions (including matching
contributions) vests over 5 to 7 years of service with the Company.
Distributions from the 401(k) Plan may be made in the form of a lump-sum cash
payment or in installment payments.

Defined Contribution Plan. The Company sponsors a defined contribution
pension plan (the "Pension Plan") covering substantially all employees of the
Company. Under the Pension Plan, the Company contributes up to 8% of a
participant's eligible compensation, as defined, to the Pension Plan after the
participant's first year of employment.

PAC 401(K) PROFIT SHARING PLAN. Performance Analysis Corporation, which was
acquired by the Company on February 16, 1998, sponsors a 401(k) Profit Sharing
Plan (the "PAC 401(k) Plan"), covering substantially all employees of PAC.
Under the PAC 401(k) Plan's deferred compensation arrangement, eligible
employees who elect to participate in the PAC 401(k) Plan may contribute up to
15% of eligible compensation, as defined, to the PAC 401(k) Plan. The PAC
401(k) Plan may allow for a matching contribution which is determined by the
Board of Directors of PAC each plan year.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that the liability of the
directors for monetary damages shall be limited to the fullest extent
permissible under Georgia law. This limitation of liability does not affect
the availability of injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

The Company's Bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify each of its
officers, directors, employees and agents to the extent that he or she is or
was a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending
or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative because he or she is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company, against reasonable expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
in connection with such action, suit or

proceeding; provided, however, that no indemnification shall be made for (i)
any appropriation, in violation of his or her duties, of any business
opportunity of the Company, (ii) acts or omissions which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) any liability under Section
14-2-832 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code ("GBCC"), which relates to
unlawful payments of dividends and unlawful stock repurchases and redemptions
or (iv) any transaction from which he or she derived an improper personal
benefit. The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with certain
officers and directors providing indemnification similar to that provided in
the Bylaws.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

LLC DISTRIBUTION AND RESTRUCTURING

As of the date of this Prospectus, Manhattan LLC will contribute all of its
assets and liabilities, including the stock of PAC, to the Company in exchange
for Common Stock of the Company (the "Restructuring"). Prior to the
Restructuring, an amount equal to all undistributed earnings, calculated on a
tax basis, will be distributed to Manhattan LLC's stockholders through a
combination of distributions from internally generated cash and from proceeds
from borrowings under the Company's line of credit. As of December 31, 1997,
the Company's undistributed earnings, calculated on a tax basis, was $8.7
million, and the Company expects to accumulate additional undistributed income
from January 1, 1998 through the date of the Restructuring. A portion of the
net proceeds of the Offering will be used to repay balances incurred under the
Company's line of credit. The stockholders of the Company who will receive
funds through the distribution include Alan J. Dabbiere, Deepak Raghavan,
David K. Dabbiere, Joel D. Dabbiere, Peter V. Dabbiere, Deepak M.J. Rao and
Ponnambalam Muthiah. See "Conversion From Limited Liability Company Status and
Related Distributions" and Notes 1 and 9 of Notes to Financial Statements.

TAX INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS

The Company has entered into tax indemnification agreements (the "Tax
Indemnification Agreements") with Pegasys, Alan J. Dabbiere, Deepak Raghavan,
the Company's Chief Technology Officer, and two other founders of the Company,
Deepak Rao and Ponnambalam Muthiah, and certain entities affiliated with such
individuals. Each of the Tax Indemnity Agreements provide for, among other
things, the indemnification of the Company by these persons for any federal
and state income taxes (including interest and penalties) incurred by the
Company if for any reason Manhattan LLC were to be taxable as a "C"
corporation during the period prior to the Restructuring and for any tax
liabilities incurred by the Company by reason of the Restructuring. The
liability of each of such persons to the Company may not exceed the amount of
any distributions received (directly or indirectly) by such persons from
Manhattan LLC, net of any taxes attributable to his distributed share of
Manhattan LLC's income. The Tax Indemnification Agreements also provide for
the indemnification by the Company of each party for certain additional taxes,
interest and penalties resulting from Manhattan LLC being taxed as a
partnership.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On December 31, 1995, the Company entered into a Grid Promissory Note (the
"1995 Note") with Alan J. Dabbiere. Pursuant to the 1995 Note, Mr. Dabbiere

Company borrowed an additional $900,000 under the 1995 Note. The balance of
the 1995 Note at February 28, 1998 (including accrued interest) was

Company, invested $1,000,000 in the Company to purchase 100,000 shares of
Common Stock. The proceeds of Mr. Raghavan's investment were used for working
capital.

During 1995, 1996 and 1997, Peter V. Dabbiere, a brother of Alan J.
Dabbiere, was employed by the Company as director of the Company's hardware
sales, and received aggregate payments of $63,667, $75,536 and $100,942,
respectively. Peter Dabbiere was granted an option on January 1, 1997,

$2.50 and $9.50 per share, respectively, from Pegasys. These options were
exercised on May 5, 1997 and February 28, 1998, respectively.

All cash compensation paid to Alan Dabbiere's brothers was comparable to

were granted with an exercise price equal to fair market value as determined
by the Company's Board of Directors. As of December 31, 1997, there were no
fees outstanding for the services provided by these individuals.

favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated third
parties.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

Upon completion of the Offering, the Company's authorized capital stock will
consist of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value per share, and
20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value per share. As of February
28, 1998, the Company had issued and outstanding 20,206,674 shares of Common
Stock. The following description of the capital stock of the Company is a
summary and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Company's
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, copies of which have been filed as
exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.

COMMON STOCK

Holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share for the
election of directors and all matters to be submitted to a vote of the
Company's stockholders. Subject to the rights of any holders of preferred
stock which may be issued in the future, the holders of shares of Common Stock
are entitled to share ratably in such dividends as may be declared by the
Board of Directors and paid by the Company out of funds legally available
therefore. In the event of dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
Company, holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in
all assets remaining after payment of all liabilities and liquidation
preferences, if any. Holders of shares of Common Stock have no preemptive,
subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The outstanding shares of
Common Stock are, and the shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company
in connection with the Offering will be, duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.

PREFERRED STOCK

The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to certain limitations
prescribed by laws, without further stockholder approval, to issue from time
to time up to an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or
more series and to fix or alter the designations, preferences, rights and any
qualifications, limitations or restrictions on the shares of each such series
thereof, including the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights,
voting rights, terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions),
redemption price or prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares
constituting any series or designations of such series. The issuance of
preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a
change of control of the Company. There are no outstanding shares of Preferred
Stock and no series have been designated.

CERTAIN ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAW PROVISIONS

The Bylaws of the Company provide that special meetings of stockholders may
be called only by: (i) the Board of Directors; (ii) the Chairman of the Board
of Directors (if any); (iii) the Chief Executive Officer; (iv) the President
of the Company; or (v) holders of not less than 35% of all votes entitled to
be cast on any issued proposed to be considered at the proposed special
meeting. The Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation also provide for a staggered
Board of Directors and permit removal of directors with or without cause. See
"Management--Directors, Executive Officers and Other Key Employees."

The Company's Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for the
nomination, other than by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or a
committee thereof, of candidates for election as directors, as well as for
other stockholder proposals to be considered at shareholders meetings. Notice
of stockholder proposals and directors nominations must be given timely in
writing to the Secretary of the Company before the meeting at which such
matters are to be acted upon or directors are to be elected. Such notice, to
be timely, must be

received at the principal executive offices of the Company with respect to
stockholder proposals and elections to be held at the annual meeting, not less
than 60 days before the date of the meeting at which the director(s) are to be
elected or the proposal is to be considered, however if less than 70 days
notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the scheduled meeting is
given or made, notice by the stockholder, to be timely, must be delivered or
received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the
earlier of the day on which notice of the date of the meeting is mailed to
stockholders or public disclosure of the date of such meeting is made.

Notice to the Company from a stockholder who intends to present a proposal
or to nominate a person for election as a director at a stockholders' meeting
must contain certain information about the stockholder giving such notice and,
in the case of director nominations, all information that would be required to
be included in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of the
proposed nominee (including such person's written consent to serve as a
director if so elected). If the presiding officer at the meeting of
stockholders determines that a stockholder's proposal or nomination is not
made in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Bylaws, such proposal
or nomination, at the direction of such presiding officer, may be disregarded.
The notice requirement for stockholder proposals contained in the Bylaws does
not restrict a stockholder's right to include proposals in the Company's
annual proxy materials pursuant to rules promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The Bylaws provide that directors may be removed with or without cause by
the affirmative vote, at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders,
but only if notice of such proposed removal was contained in the notice of
such meeting. The Board of Directors and the stockholders shall both have the
power to increase or decrease the authorized number of directors. Newly
created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors
or any vacancy of the Board of Directors may be filled by the affirmative vote
of a majority of the remaining directors then in office or, if not filled by
the directors, by the stockholders.

The Articles of Incorporation provide that in discharging the duties of
their respective positions and in determining what is believed to be in the
best interest of the Company, the Board of Directors, any committee of the
Board of Directors and any individual director, in addition to considering the
effects of any action on the Company or is stockholders, may, to the extent
permitted by applicable Georgia law, in his or her sole discretion, consider
the interests of the employees, customers, suppliers and creditors of the
Company and its subsidiaries, the communities in which offices or other
establishments of the Company and its subsidiaries are located and all other
factors such director(s) may consider pertinent; provided, however, that this
provision of the Company's Articles of Incorporation solely grants
discretionary authority to the directors, and no constituency shall be deemed
to have been given any right to consideration thereby.

The preceding provisions of the Articles of Incorporation may be changed
only upon the affirmative vote of holders of at least a 66 2/3% of the total
number of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company that are
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a
single class.

The provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws summarized in the
preceding six paragraphs contain provisions that may have the effect of
delaying, deferring or preventing a non-negotiated merger or other business
combination involving the Company. These provisions are intended to encourage
any person interested in acquiring the Company to negotiate with and obtain
the approval of the Board of Directors in connection with the transaction.
Certain of these provisions may, however, discourage a future acquisition of
the Company not approved

by the Board of Directors in which stockholders might receive an attractive
value for their shares or that a substantial number or even a majority of the
Company's stockholders might believe to be in their best interest. As a
result, stockholders who desire to participate in such a transaction may not
have the opportunity to do so. Such provisions could also discourage bids for
the Common Stock at a premium, as well as create a depressive effect on the
market price of the Common Stock.

LISTING

The Common Stock has been approved for listing on the Nasdaq National Market
under the trading symbol "MANH."

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The transfer agent for the Company's Common Stock is SunTrust Bank, Atlanta.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the securities of
the Company. Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have
outstanding 23,706,674 shares of Common Stock (assuming no exercise of the
underwriters' over-allotment option or options outstanding under the Company's
stock option plans). Of these shares, the 3,500,000 shares sold in the
Offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), unless
they are purchased by "affiliates" of the Company as that term is defined in
Rule 144 under the Securities Act (which sales would be subject to certain
limitations and restrictions described below). The remaining 20,206,674 shares
are "restricted shares" under Rule 144 (the "Restricted Shares"). Restricted
Shares may be sold in the public market only if registered under the
Securities Act or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under
Rule 144, Rule 144(k) or Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act. The
holders of all remaining 20,206,674 shares have agreed not to offer, pledge,
sell, offer to sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to
purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or
warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or
indirectly any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (other than gifts)
until 180 days after the date of this Prospectus without the prior written
consent of Deutsche Morgan Grenfell Inc. As a result of the contractual
restrictions described herein and the provisions of Rule 144, Rule 144(k) and
Rule 701, the Restricted Shares will be available for sale in the public
market as follows: (i) no shares will be available for immediate sale on the
date of this Prospectus, (ii) approximately 19,870,008 shares will become
eligible for sale 180 days after the date of this Prospectus (assuming no
release from the lock-up agreements) upon expiration of lock-up agreements,
and (iii) approximately 206,666 shares will become eligible for sale February
16, 1999 and 130,000 shares will become eligible for sale February 28, 1999.
See "Underwriting." Deutsche Morgan Grenfell Inc. in its sole discretion and
without notice may earlier release for sale in the public market all or any
portion of the shares subject to the lock-up agreement.

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, beginning 90 days after
the date of this Prospectus, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated)
who has beneficially owned shares for a least one year (including the holding
period of any prior owner except an affiliate) is entitled to sell in
"brokers' transactions" or to market makers, within any three-month period a
number of shares that does not exceed the greater of: (i) one percent of the
number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding (approximately 237,067
shares immediately after the Offering) or (ii) the average weekly trading
volume in the Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the
required filing of a Form 144 with respect to such sale. Sales under Rule 144
are subject to the availability of current public information about the
Company. Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been an
affiliate of the Company at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale, and
who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two
years, is entitled to sell such shares without having to comply with the
manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice filing
provisions of Rule 144. Unless otherwise restricted, "144(k) shares" may
therefore be sold immediately upon the completion of the Offering. Under Rule
701 under the Securities Act, persons who purchase shares upon exercise of
options granted prior to the Offering are entitled to sell such shares 90 days
after the Offering in reliance on Rule 144, without having to comply with the
holding period requirements of Rule 144 and, in the case of non-affiliates,
without having to comply with the volume limitation or notice filing
provisions of Rule 144.

After the completion of this offering, the Company intends to file a
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Form S-8") under the Securities Act
to register the 5,729,784 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under
the Stock Incentive Plan, the LLC Option Plan and

other options. The Company has agreed with the Underwriters not to file a Form
S-8 until at least 90 days after the date of this Prospectus. After the date
of such filing, if not otherwise subject to a lock-up agreement, shares
purchased pursuant to such plans and options generally would be available for
resale in the public market. See "Management--Stock Option Plans."

UNDERWRITING

The Underwriters named below have severally agreed, subject to the terms and
subject to the conditions in the Underwriting Agreement (the form of which
will be filed as an exhibit to the Company's Registration Statement of which
this Prospectus is a part), to purchase from the Company the respective number
of shares of Common Stock indicated opposite their respective names. The
Underwriters are committed to purchase all of the shares, if they purchase
any.

NUMBER OF
UNDERWRITER SHARES
----------- ---------

Deutsche Morgan Grenfell Inc....................................... 1,575,000
Hambrecht & Quist LLC.............................................. 1,050,000
SoundView Financial Group, Inc..................................... 875,000

Total............................................................ 3,500,000
=========

The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the several
Underwriters thereunder are subject to the approval of certain legal matters
by counsel and to various other conditions.

The Underwriters have advised the Company that the Underwriters initially
propose to offer the Common Stock to the public on the terms set forth on the
cover page of this Prospectus. The Underwriters may allow selected dealers
(who may include the Underwriters) a concession not in excess of $0.60 a share
under the initial public offering price. The selected dealers may reallow a
concession not in excess of $0.10 a share to other dealers and other selling
terms may be changed by the Underwriters. The Common Stock is offered subject
to receipt and acceptance by the Underwriters, and to certain other
conditions, including the right to reject orders in whole or in part. The
Underwriters do not intend to sell any of the shares of Common Stock offered
hereby to accounts for which they exercise discretionary authority.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Selling Stockholders have
granted to the Underwriters an option to purchase up to 525,000 additional
shares of Common Stock, respectively, to cover over-allotments, if any, at the
initial public offering price, less the underwriting discount set forth on the
cover page of this Prospectus. Such option is exercisable for 30 days from the
date of this Prospectus. To the extent such option is exercised, each
Underwriter will be committed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase
approximately the same percentage of such additional shares of Common Stock as
the number set forth next to such Underwriter's name in the preceding table
bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock offered hereby. The
Selling Stockholders will be obligated, pursuant to the option, to sell such
shares to the Underwriters.

See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" for a description of certain
arrangements by which all officers, directors and all stockholders of the
Company have agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of Common Stock or
convertible securities of the Company for up to 180 days after the date of the
final Prospectus without the prior consent of Deutsche Morgan Grenfell Inc.
("DMG") The Company has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement that it will not,
directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent, and in the sole
discretion, of DMG contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase,
purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to
purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Common Stock or
any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, for a period
of 180 days after the date of the final Prospectus without the consent, and in
the sole discretion, of DMG, except under certain circumstances. DMG has no
present intention to release any of the shares pursuant to the lock-up
agreements. It has been the practice of DMG to consider releasing shares from
lock-up agreements based on a variety of factors, including the market price
of the Common Stock, the volume of shares traded and other market conditions.
DMG does not expect to provide notice to the stockholders of any such releases
from the lock-up agreements.

The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Company, and the Selling
Stockholders in the event the over-allotment option is exercised, will
indemnify the several Underwriters against certain liabilities, including
civil liabilities under the Securities Act, or will contribute to payments the
Underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.

Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Stock. The initial public offering price will be determined by negotiation
between the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters. The
principal factors to be considered in determining the initial public offering
price include the information set forth in this Prospectus and otherwise
available to the Underwriters; the history and the prospects for the industry
in which the Company competes; the ability of the Company's management; the
prospects for future earnings of the Company; the present state of the
Company's development and its current financial condition; the general
condition of the securities markets at the time of this Offering; and the
recent market prices of, and the demand for, publicly traded common stock of
generally comparable companies. Each of the Underwriters has informed the
Company that it currently intends to make a market in the shares subsequent to
the effectiveness of this Offering, but there can be no assurance that the
Underwriters will take any action to make a market in any securities of the
Company.

Certain persons participating in this Offering may over-allot or effect
transactions which stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of
the Common Stock at levels above those which might otherwise prevail in the
open market, including by entering stabilizing bids, effecting syndicate
covering transactions or imposing penalty bids. A stabilizing bid means the
placing of any bid or effecting of any purchase for the purpose of pegging,
fixing or maintaining the price of the Common Stock. A syndicate covering
transaction means the placing of any bid on behalf of the underwriting
syndicate or the effecting of any purchase to reduce a short position created
in connection with this Offering. A penalty bid means an arrangement that
permits the Underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate
member in connection with this Offering when shares of Common Stock sold by
the syndicate member are purchased in syndicate covering transactions. Such
transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq National Market, in the over-the-
counter market or otherwise. Such stabilizing, if commenced, may be
discontinued at any time.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the issuance of the shares of the Common Stock offered
hereby will be passed upon for the Company and the Selling Stockholders by
Morris, Manning & Martin, L.L.P., Atlanta, Georgia. Certain legal matters in
connection with this Offering will be passed upon for the Underwriters by
Testa, Hurwitz & Thibeault, LLP, Boston, Massachusetts.

EXPERTS

The financial statements and schedule included in this Prospectus have been

upon the authority of said firm as experts in giving said reports.

"Commission") a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (together with all

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Manhattan Associates, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of MANHATTAN ASSOCIATES,
INC. (a Georgia corporation, formerly Manhattan Associates, LLC) as of
December 31, 1996 and 1997 and the related statements of income, stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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 audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Manhattan Associates, Inc.
as of December 31, 1996 and 1997 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

MANHATTAN ASSOCIATES, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1996 AND 1997

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Manhattan Associates, Inc. ("Manhattan" or the "Company") develops, markets,
and supports supply chain execution systems primarily focused on distribution
center management. The Company's primary product, PkMS, is a comprehensive and
modular designed software system that assists in the management of inventory,
storage, distribution, equipment, and personnel within a distribution center.
The Company also provides professional services including design,
configuration, implementation, training, and support.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In connection with the Company's anticipated initial public offering (the
"Offering") Manhattan Associates, Inc., a Georgia corporation, was formed. The
attached financial statements include the accounts of Manhattan Associates,
LLC ("Manhattan LLC") from January 1, 1996 to December 31, 1997 and include
the accounts of Pegasys Systems Incorporated ("Pegasys") prior to January 1,
1996. Prior to December 31, 1995, Manhattan operated as Pegasys which was, at
the time, 100% owned by Manhattan LLC's current majority shareholder
("Majority Holder"). As of the effective date of the Offering Manhattan LLC
will contribute its assets and liabilities to the Company in exchange for
common stock of the Company (the "Restructuring"). Unless otherwise indicated,
all references to the Company or Manhattan assume the completion of the
Restructuring and include Manhattan LLC and Pegasys.

RECAPITALIZATION AND ACQUISITION

Pegasys co-developed certain technology, which was ultimately incorporated
into PkMS, with certain of Manhattan LLC's minority shareholders ("Minority
Holders") and a consultant (the "Consultant"). The Minority Holders and the
Consultant each held an option that was granted in 1993 before the technology
was developed to purchase a percentage of Manhattan LLC upon its formation.
The option contained no expiration date and was fully vested at the date of
grant. On December 31, 1995, Manhattan LLC was formed as a 100% wholly-owned
subsidiary of Pegasys, and Pegasys transferred all of its assets, liabilities,
and intellectual property rights to Manhattan LLC.

Subsequent to the formation of Manhattan LLC, the Minority Holders exercised
their option to purchase 8,571,432 shares, which at the time represented 42.9%
of Manhattan LLC's stock. The exercise of the option included the contribution
of the technology rights owned by the Minority Holders. As the Minority
Holders are considered promoters, the transfer of the technology was recorded
at historical cost in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 48.
Additionally, the Minority Holders also forgave certain receivables from
Pegasys in the amount of $600,000 and the Company repurchased the option from
the Consultant for $250,000 which was recorded as a treasury stock
transaction. These transactions are included in the line item "issuance of
common stock and repurchase of option" in the accompanying statements of
stockholders' equity.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with
original maturities of three months or less to be cash or cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts
payable, and other financial instruments included in the accompanying
balance sheets approximate their fair values principally due to the short-
term maturities of these instruments.

Risks Associated with Single Product Line, Technological Advances, and
Hardware Revenue

The Company currently derives substantially all its revenues from sales
of its PkMS software and related services and hardware. Any factor
adversely affecting the distribution center market could have an adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of
operations.

The market for distribution center management systems is subject to rapid
technological change, changing customer needs, frequent new product
introductions, and evolving industry standards that may render existing
products and services obsolete. As a result, the Company's position in this
market could be eroded rapidly by unforeseen changes in customer
requirements for application features, functions, and technologies. The
Company's growth and future operating results will depend, in part, upon
its ability to enhance existing applications and develop and introduce new
applications that meet changing customer requirements, that respond to
competitive products and that achieve market acceptance.

The Company resells a variety of hardware products developed and
manufactured by third parties. Revenue from such hardware sales can amount
to a significant portion of the Company's total revenue in any period. As
the market for distribution of hardware products becomes more competitive,
the Company's customers may find it attractive to purchase such hardware
directly from the manufacturer of such products, with a resultant decrease
in the Company's revenues from hardware.

Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenue consists of revenues from the licensing of PkMS;
fees from consulting, implementation, training, and maintenance services;
and revenue from the sale of complementary radio frequency and computer
equipment. The Company recognizes

F-8

MANHATTAN ASSOCIATES, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1996 AND 1997

software license revenue in accordance with the provisions of American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position ("SOP") No.
91-1, "Software Revenue Recognition." Accordingly, software license revenue
is recognized upon shipment of the software following execution of a
contract, provided that no significant vendor obligations remain
outstanding, amounts are due within one year, and collection is considered
probable by management. If significant post-delivery obligations exist, the
revenue from the sale of the software license, as well as other components
of the contract, is recognized using percentage of completion accounting.

The Company's services revenue consists of revenue generated from
consulting and maintenance related to the Company's software product.
Services revenue is derived from fees based on consulting, implementation,
and training services contracted under separate service agreements. Revenue
related to consulting, implementation, and training services performed by
the Company are recognized as the services are performed. Maintenance
revenue represents amounts paid, generally in advance, by users for the
support and enhancements to the software. Maintenance revenue is recognized
ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement, typically 12 months.

Hardware revenue is generated from the resale of a variety of hardware
products, developed and manufactured by third parties, that are integrated
with and complementary to the Company's software solution. As part of a
complete distribution center management system solution the Company's
customers frequently purchase hardware from the Company in conjunction with
the licensing of PkMS. These products include computer hardware, radio
frequency terminals networks, bar code printers and scanners, and other
peripherals. Hardware revenue is recognized upon shipment. The Company
generally purchases hardware from its vendors only after receiving an order
from a customer. As a result, the Company does not maintain hardware
inventory.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily represents amounts collected prior to complete
performance of maintenance services. Revenue may also be deferred prior to
the delivery of software.

Returns and Allowances

The Company provides for the costs of returns and product warranty claims
at the time of sale. The Company has not experienced significant returns or
warranty claims to date and, as a result, has not recorded a provision for
the cost of returns and product warranty claims at December 31, 1996 and
1997.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consists of furniture, computers, other office
equipment, purchased software, and leasehold improvements. The Company
depreciates the cost of furniture, computers, other office equipment and
purchased software on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful
lives (three years for computer equipment and software,

F-9

MANHATTAN ASSOCIATES, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1996 AND 1997

five years for office equipment, seven years for furniture). Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the term of the lease. Depreciation and
amortization expense for property and equipment for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997 was $55,000, $143,000, and $349,000,
respectively.

Property and equipment, at cost, consist of the following:

----- -------
792 2,605
Less accumulated depreciation and amortization............... (313) (662)
----- -------
$ 479 $ 1,943
===== =======

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include purchased software. The asset is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 3 years. Total
amortization expense relating to the purchased software was $133,000 in
each of the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, and is included in cost
of software licenses in the accompanying statements of income.

Income Taxes

Manhattan LLC was treated as a partnership, and Pegasys was an S
Corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended; therefore, neither company was subject to federal income taxes.
The income or loss of Manhattan LLC and Pegasys was included in the owners'
individual federal and state tax returns, and as such, no provision for
income taxes is recorded in the accompanying statements of income. The
Company and Pegasys have historically made distributions on behalf of the
owners to pay anticipated tax liability.

The accompanying statements of income reflect a provision for income
taxes on a pro forma basis as if the Company were liable for federal and
state income taxes as a taxable corporate entity for the years presented.
The pro forma income tax provision has been computed by applying the
Company's anticipated statutory tax rate to pretax income, adjusted for
permanent tax differences (Note 3).

Capitalized Software Development Costs

Research and development expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
Computer software development costs are charged to research and development
expense until technological feasibility is established, after which
remaining software production costs are capitalized in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 86, "Accounting
for Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise

F-10

MANHATTAN ASSOCIATES, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1996 AND 1997

Marketed." The Company has defined technological feasibility as the point
in time at which the Company has a working model of the related product.
Historically, the development costs incurred during the period between the
achievement of technological feasibility and the point at which the product
is available for general release to customers have not been material.
Accordingly, the Company has concluded that the amount of development costs
capitalizable under the provisions of SFAS No. 86 was not material to the
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997.
Therefore, the Company has expensed all internal software development costs
as incurred for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997.

Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

The Company periodically reviews the values assigned to long-lived
assets, including property and intangible assets, to determine whether any
impairments are other than temporary. Management believes the long-lived
assets in the accompanying balance sheets are appropriately valued.

Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed using historical or pro forma net
income divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding ("Weighted Shares") for the period presented.

Diluted net income per share is computed using historical or pro forma
net income divided by (i) Weighted Shares, and (ii) the treasury stock
method effect of common equivalent shares ("CES's") outstanding for each
period presented. Pro forma basic and diluted net income per share also
includes the number of shares pursuant to the Securities and Exchange
Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 1B.3, that at the assumed public
offering price would yield proceeds in the amount necessary to pay the
stockholder distribution discussed in Note 9 that is not covered by the
earnings for the year ("Distribution Shares").

No adjustment is necessary for historical and pro forma net income for
net income per share presentation. The following is a reconciliation of the
shares used in the computation of net income per share:

DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1996 AND 1997

Basic and diluted net income per share for the year ended December 31,
1995 has been adjusted to reflect the shares issued in the 1995 Acquisition
as if these shares were outstanding for the entire year.

Stock-Based Compensation Plan

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plan for stock
issued to employees under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and, accordingly, records
deferred compensation for options granted at an exercise price below the
fair value of the underlying stock. The deferred compensation is presented
as a component of equity in the accompanying balance sheets and is
amortized over the periods to be benefited, generally the vesting period of
the options. Effective in fiscal year 1996, the Company adopted the pro
forma disclosure option for stock-based compensation issued to employees of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation."

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 is designed to improve
the reporting of changes in equity from period to period. The Company will
adopt SFAS No. 130 effective with its fiscal year ending December 31, 1998.
Management does not expect SFAS No. 130 to have a significant impact on the
Company's financial statements.

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."
SFAS No. 131 requires that an enterprise disclose certain information about
operating segments. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 131 effective with its
fiscal year ending December 31, 1998. The Company does not expect that SFAS
No. 131 will require significant revision of prior disclosures.

The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants has issued SOP 97-
2, "Software Revenue Recognition." This SOP is effective for the Company
for transactions entered into after December 31, 1997. The Company will
adopt the SOP in the first quarter of 1998. The adoption of the standard is
not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial
statements.

2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997, the Company
contracted with parties related to the Majority Holder for marketing and legal
services for an aggregate amount of $209,000, $289,000, and $389,000
respectively. In the opinion of management, the rates, terms, and
considerations of the transactions with related parties approximate those with
unrelated entities. At December 31, 1996 and 1997, there were no fees
outstanding for the services provided.

3. INCOME TAXES

After the Restructuring, the Company will be subject to future federal and
state income taxes and will record net deferred tax assets. The assets and
liabilities below will be reflected on the balance sheet of the Company with a
corresponding non-recurring income amount in the

statement of income at the completion of the Offering. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial
accounting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Significant components
of the Company's pro forma deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December

The Company's short-term debt consists of a note payable (the "Stockholder
Note") to the Majority Holder, bearing interest at 5%. The Stockholder Note is
due on demand and unpaid interest accrues to the principle balance. The
balance of the Stockholder Note including accrued interest was $969,000 and
$1,019,000 as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Subsequent to
December 31, 1997, the Company borrowed additional amounts under the
Stockholder Note. See Note 9.

5. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Company sponsors the Manhattan Associates 401(k) Plan and Trust (the
"401(k) Plan"), a qualified profit sharing plan with a 401(k) feature covering
substantially all employees of the Company. Under the 401(k) Plan's deferred
compensation arrangement, eligible employees who elect to participate in the
401(k) Plan may contribute up to 10% of eligible compensation, as defined, to
the 401(k) Plan. The Company provides for a 50% matching contribution up to 6%
of eligible compensation being contributed after the participant's first year
of employment. During the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997, the
Company made matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan of $0, $48,000, and
$53,000, respectively.

The Company also has a defined contribution pension plan (the "Pension
Plan") covering substantially all employees of the Company.
The Company provides up to 8% of the participant's yearly compensation after
the participant's first year of employment. During the years ended December
31, 1995, 1996, and 1997, the Company made matching contributions to the
Pension Plan of $148,000, $162,000, and $224,000, respectively.

6. STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Company has a stock option plan, the Manhattan Associates LLC Option
Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan is administered by a committee appointed by the
Board of Directors. The total number of shares to be purchased under the Plan
may not exceed 5,000,000 shares. The options are granted at terms determined
by the committee; however, the option cannot have a term exceeding ten years.
The options are exercisable only upon the occurrence of an exercise event
which is the earlier of (1) a change in control, as defined, at which time all
options are fully vested, (2) the date which is nine years and six months
following option grant, or (3) to the extent vested, upon the occurrence of an
initial public offering or whenever more than 50% of the issued and
outstanding shares are acquired by persons who are not shareholders or
affiliates. The agreement provides the Company with the right to repurchase
the options at fair market value prior to an initial public offering. The
Company has 2,368,166 options outstanding under the Plan at December 31, 1997
and has 2,631,834 available for future grants.

Prior to the establishment of the Plan, the Company issued options to
purchase 661,784 shares of common stock to certain employees. These grants
contain provisions similar to options issued under the Plan.

None of the options are exercisable at December 31, 1997. Upon completion of
the Offering 612,765 options outstanding at December 31, 1997 will become
exercisable.

The Company recorded deferred compensation of $840,000 on options granted
during 1997 as the exercise price was less than the deemed fair value of the
underlying common stock. The Company amortizes deferred compensation over a
period not to exceed six years. The Company recognized compensation expense of
$307,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 and had deferred compensation
expense of $533,000 at December 31, 1997.

Subsequent to year-end, the Company granted 761,500 options at exercise
prices ranging from $7.50 to $10.00 to employees under the Plan. The Company
recorded deferred compensation on these options of $679,500.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 123

Pro forma information regarding net income and net income per share is

OPERATING AGREEMENT

All owners of the Company's common stock are parties to the Company's
operating agreement (the "Operating Agreement"). This Operating Agreement
provides, among other things, the right of first refusal to the Company and
then to all other stockholders of the Company to purchase any selling
stockholders' shares at a price equal to that offered to outside third
parties. Upon completion of the Offering, these provisions of the Operating
Agreement will terminate.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1996 AND 1997

ISSUANCE OF STOCK

On May 5, 1997, the Majority Holder granted to two employees and a
consultant, all of whom are related to the Majority Holder, options to
purchase shares of the Company's stock from the Majority Holder. This grant
did not result in additional shares being outstanding as the shares under
option were currently outstanding and held by the Majority Holder. This grant
included a grant of an option to purchase 80,000 and 50,000 shares of the
Company's stock held by the Majority Holder to two employees of the Company
and a grant of an option to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company's stock held
by the Majority Holder to a consultant of the Company. The stock options were
then exercised by the employees and the consultant of the Company for a
nonrecourse, noninterest-bearing note to the Majority Holder with a term equal
to the contractual term of the option. The exercise price was equal to the
fair value of the Company' s stock at the date of grant of $2.50 per share.
The Company recorded the grant to the employees of the Company under APB
Opinion No. 25 and recorded no compensation expense on the date of grant as
the grant was issued at fair value and due to the nonvariable nature of the
nonrecourse note. The Company recorded $75,000 of compensation expense in the
year ended December 31, 1997 for the option granted to the consultant.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEASES

On September 24, 1997, the Company entered into a 62-month lease for office
space beginning on November 1, 1997. The lease requires monthly payments of
$90,000 for the 14-month period ended December 31, 1998 subject to annual
increases as defined. Prior to the lease entered into on September 24, 1997,
the Company was party to a lease agreement ending in 2001. The agreement
required monthly payments of approximately $20,000 subject to an increase of
3% in each 12-month period after the first year. Additionally, the Company
received the first month's rent free. The 3% escalation and the first month's
free rent were recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease.
Accordingly, as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, the Company has recorded a
liability for deferred rent in the amount of $122,000 and $108,000,
respectively, included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance
sheets.

The Company terminated their occupancy under the previous lease, and is
still bound by the terms of the lease. Management believes that the Company

LEGAL MATTERS

Many of the Company's installations involve products that are critical to
the operations of its clients' businesses. Any failure in a Company product
could result in a claim for substantial damages against the Company,
regardless of the Company's responsibility for such failure. Although the
Company attempts to limit contractually its liability for damages arising from
product failures or negligent acts or omissions, there can be no assurance the
limitations of liability set forth in its contracts will be enforceable in all
instances.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which have arisen in
the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of
potential liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect
the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

9.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

DISTRIBUTION

Prior to the completion of the Offering, the Company intends to distribute
all undistributed income, calculated on a tax basis, to the shareholders of
Manhattan LLC. As of December 31, 1997, the undistributed income, calculated
on a tax basis, of the Company was $8,704,000 and the Company expects to
accumulate additional undistributed income from January 1, 1998 through the
date of the Restructuring. These distributions will be funded through a series
of payments from available Company cash and from the proceeds of the Company's
line of credit. It is anticipated that any such advances or balance on the
line of credit incurred to fund these distributions will be repaid using a
portion of the net proceeds of the Offering.

STOCKHOLDER NOTE

Subsequent to December 31, 1997, the Company borrowed an additional $900,000
from the Majority Holder under the Stockholder Note. The balance of the
Stockholder Note will be repaid with the proceeds of the Offering.

SALE OF STOCK TO MINORITY HOLDER

One of the Company's Minority Holders purchased 100,000 shares of the
Company's common stock for $1,000,000 on February 16, 1998.

ACQUISITION

On February 16, 1998, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of
Performance Analysis Corporation ("PAC") for $2,200,000 in cash and 106,666
shares of the Company's common stock valued at $10.00 per share (the "PAC
Acquisition"). PAC is a developer of distribution center slotting software.
The PAC Acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase.

The purchase price of approximately $3,300,000, has been allocated to the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed of $464,000, including acquired
research and development of $1,602,000, purchased software of $500,000, and
other intangible assets of $765,000. Purchased software will be amortized over
an estimated two-year useful life and other intangible assets will be
amortized over a seven-year useful life. In connection with the PAC
Acquisition, the Company plans to record a charge to income of $1,602,000 in
the first quarter of 1998 for acquired research and development.

On April 21, 1998, to effect the Restructuring, Manhattan LLC contributed all
of its assets and liabilities to the Company in exchange for common stock of

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31,1997

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT POLICIES

Organization

Performance Analysis Corporation ("the "Company") was established in 1983 in
the state of North Carolina. The Company is a developer of distribution center
slotting software. The Company offers periodic ongoing maintenance support of
its products. The Company also offers fee-based installation and training. The
Company markets its products throughout the southeastern United States and
Canada.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash or cash equivalents.

Furniture and Equipment

Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated primarily
using straight line depreciation over three to seven years.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is based on income recognized for financial
statement purposes and includes the effects of temporary differences between
such income and that recognized for tax return purposes.

Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenue consists of software license revenue and fees for
services complementary to its software products, including installation,
training, and maintenance.

Revenue from software license is recognized upon signing of a contract and
delivery of the product, if there are no significant vendor obligations and
provided that amounts are due within one year and collection is considered
probable. If significant postdelivery obligations exist, the revenue from the
sale of the software license as well as other components of the contract is
recognized using contract accounting. Maintenance and support revenue
represent amounts paid by users for the support and enhancements of the
software. Revenues from these support services are recognized ratably over the
term of the software support services agreement, typically 12 months. If
maintenance is included in the original license contract, such amounts are
unbundled from the license fee and recognized over the free contracted support
period. Revenues and expenses relating to implementation and training
performed by the Company are recognized as the services are performed.

Deferred Revenues

Revenue may be deferred due to installation, training and support services
not yet performed.

Customer Deposits

Amounts collected prior to the delivery of software products represent a
customer deposit.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

Research and development expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
Computer software development costs are charged to research and development
expense until

F-24

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

DECEMBER 31, 1997

technological feasibility is established, after which remaining software
production costs are capitalized in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 86, "Accounting for Costs of Computer
Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed." The Company has defined
technological feasibility as the point in time at which the Company has a
working model of the related product. Historically, the development costs
incurred during the period between the achievement of technological
feasibility and the point at which the product is available for general
release to customers have not been material. Accordingly, the Company has
concluded that the amount of development costs capitalizable under the
provisions of SFAS No. 86 was not material to the financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 1997. Therefore, the Company has charged all software
development costs to expense as incurred for the years ended December 31,
1997.

Warranty Costs

The Company generally warranties its products for 30 to 90 days and provides
for estimated warranty costs upon delivery of such products. Warranty cost
have not been and are not anticipated to be significant.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are
limited due to the wide variety of customers and markets for which the
Company's services are provided. As a result, as of December 31, 1997, the
Company did not consider itself to have any significant concentrations of
credit risk. During 1997, the Company's five largest customers accounted for
approximately 37% of the Company's total revenues. Although the particular
customers may change from period to period, the Company expects that large
sales to a limited number of customers will continue to account for a
significant percentage of its revenues in any particular period for the
foreseeable future.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expense during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The book values of accounts receivable, accrued liabilities and other
financial instruments approximate their fair values principally because of the
short-term maturities of these instruments.

F-25

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

DECEMBER 31, 1997

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 is designed to improve the
reporting of changes in equity from period to period. SFAS No. 130 is
effective for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 1998. Management
does not expect SFAS No. 130 to have a significant impact on the Company's
financial statements.

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS
No. 131 requires that an enterprise disclose certain information about
operating segments. SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements for the
Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 1998. The Company does not expect
that SFAS No. 131 will require significant revision of prior disclosures.

The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants has issued SOP 97-2,
"Software Revenue Recognition." The adoption of the standard is not expected
to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

2. INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference
between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.
Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as
of December 31, 1997 are a follows:

Deferred tax assets:
Accrued liabilities........................................... $ 72,000
Deferred revenue.............................................. 85,500
Allowance for doubtful accounts............................... 9,200
--------
166,700
--------
Deferred tax liabilities:
Receivables................................................... 150,300
Depreciation.................................................. 6,000

4. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Company sponsors the 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan"), covering
substantially all employees of the Company. Under the Plan's deferred
compensation arrangement, eligible employees who elect to participate in the
Plan may contribute up to 15% of eligible compensation, as defined, to the
Plan. The Company may provide for a matching contribution which is determined
by the Company each plan year. During the year ended December 31, 1997, the
Company made matching contributions to the Plan of $11,000.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEASE COMMITMENTS

At December 31, 1997, the future minimum operating lease payments under
noncancelable operating leases were as follows:

1998.............................................................. $52,250
1999.............................................................. 53,590
2000.............................................................. 3,921

The Company's operating leases are primarily for office space and other
equipment. Total rental expense for operating leases was $51,700 in 1997.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of
potential liability with respect to these potential actions would not
materially affect the financial position or results of operations of the
Company.

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

SALE OF THE COMPANY

On February 16, 1998, the Company was acquired by Manhattan Associates, LLC
("Manhattan"), pursuant to which the Company became a 100% wholly owned
subsidiary of Manhattan Associates, LLC. The Company exchanged all of the
Company's outstanding common stock for cash of $2,200,000 and 106,666 shares
of Manhattan common stock.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following Unaudited Pro Forma Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1997 was
prepared as if the following transactions had occurred on December 31, 1997:
(i) the acquisition of Performance Analysis Corporation ("PAC") (the "PAC
Acquisition"); (ii) the purchase of 100,000 shares of common stock by a
minority holder; (iii) the establishment of deferred taxes as a result of the
Restructuring; and (iv) the payment of the undistributed income, calculated on
a tax basis, as of December 31, 1997. The following Unaudited Pro Forma
Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 1997 was prepared as if
the PAC Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1997. The Unaudited Pro Forma
Balance Sheet and Statement of Income do not purport to represent the
Company's results as if these transactions had occurred on December 31, 1997.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Balance Sheet and Statement of Income are derived
from the historical financial statements of the Company and PAC and the
assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly such
unaudited pro forma balance sheet and statement of income have been made. The
pro forma information does not give effect to the proceeds to the Company of
the Offering or the charge to income of $1,602,000 for the acquired research
and development as a result of the PAC Acquisition.
