See accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Page 5 of 20 MANHATTAN ASSOCIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 1998 (unaudited) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company's management, these consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at September 30, 1998, the results of operations for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 and changes in cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. The interim results for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997, as filed in its Prospectus dated April 23, 1998. 2. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 3. COMPLETION OF INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND CONVERSION On April 23, 1998, the Company completed its initial public offering (the "Offering") of its $.01 par value per share common stock (the "Common Stock"). The Company sold 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock, excluding 525,000 shares sold by certain selling stockholders as part of the underwriters' over-allotment, for $52,500,000 less issuance costs of approximately $5,242,000. In connection with the Offering, the assets and liabilities of Manhattan Associates, LLC ("Manhattan LLC") were contributed to the Company in exchange for Common Stock of the Company (the "Conversion"). Manhattan LLC then distributed the Common Stock of the Company received to its stockholders. Prior to the completion of the Offering, Manhattan LLC distributed all undistributed earnings, calculated on a tax basis, to the stockholders of Manhattan LLC. The amount distributed subsequent to December 31, 1997 and prior to completion of the Offering was approximately $11,720,000. Page 6 of 20 4. REVENUE RECOGNITION Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Position No. 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition" ("SOP 97-2"), that supersedes Statement of Position No. 91-1, "Software Revenue Recognition." Under SOP 97-2, the Company recognizes software license revenue when the following criteria are met: (1) a signed contract is obtained; (2) shipment of the product has occurred; (3) the license fee is fixed and determinable; (4) collectibility is probable; and (5) remaining obligations under the license agreement are insignificant. Consulting services are generally billed on an hourly basis and revenue is recognized as the work is performed. Maintenance revenue from ongoing customer support is billed in advance for a one year period and recorded as revenue ratably over the billing period. Hardware revenue is billed and recognized upon shipment. The adoption of SOP 97-2 did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements for the three month or nine month periods ended September 30, 1998. 5. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for reporting and display of "comprehensive income" and its components. Comprehensive income for the Company consists of net income and foreign currency translation adjustments. Total historical comprehensive income (in thousands of dollars) was $2,309 and $2,087 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Total historical comprehensive income (in thousands of dollars) was $4,897 and $6,541 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. 6. NOTE PAYABLE TO STOCKHOLDER At December 31, 1997, the Company had approximately $1 million outstanding under a Grid Promissory Note (the "Note") payable to the Company's majority stockholder. In February 1998, the Company borrowed an additional $900,000 pursuant to the Note. The Company repaid the Note, together with accrued interest of approximately $131,000 during the second quarter of 1998. 7. EARNINGS PER SHARE Subsequent to the completion of the initial public offing, historical basic net income per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Historical diluted net income per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options using the "treasury stock" method. Prior to the completion of the initial public offering, pro forma basic net income per share was computed using pro forma net income divided by (i) the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding ("Weighted Shares") for the period presented and (ii) pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 1B.3, the number of shares that, at the assumed public offering price, would yield proceeds in the amount necessary to pay the stockholder distribution discussed in Note 3 that is not covered by the earnings for the one year period through the date of distribution ("Distribution Shares"). Pro forma diluted net income per share was computed using pro forma net income divided by (i) Weighted Shares, (ii) the Distribution Shares and (iii) the treasury stock method effect of common equivalent shares ("CES's") outstanding for each period presented. Page 7 of 20 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:

Page 8 of 20 8. INCOME TAXES Prior to the Conversion, the Company elected to report as a limited liability company that was treated as a partnership for income tax purposes (see Note 3), and as a result, the Company was not subject to federal and state income taxes. After the Conversion, the Company became subject to federal and state income taxes. In connection with the Conversion, the Company recognized a one-time benefit in April 1998 of $316,000 by recording the asset related to the future reduction of income tax payments due to temporary differences between the recognition of income for financial statements and income tax regulations. Pro forma net income amounts discussed herein include 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 periods presented. Pro forma income tax provisions reflect the Company's anticipated effective annual tax rate of 36% for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 and the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997. For the three month period ended September 30, 1998, the pro forma income tax provision equals the historical income tax provision. The historical income tax provision reflects the Company's anticipated effective annual tax rate of 37% for the three month period ended September 30, 1998. 9. ACQUISITIONS In September 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire DCMS (R), the Distribution Center Management Systems software product and related assets from Kurt Salmon Associates for approximately $2.0 million and additional consideration. The Company completed the DCMS acquisition in October 1998 and the DCMS acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase. Page 9 of 20 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. OVERVIEW The Company provides information technology solutions for distribution centers that are designed to enable the efficient movement of goods through the supply chain. The Company's solutions are designed to optimize the receipt, storage and distribution of inventory and the management of equipment and personnel within a distribution center, and to meet the increasingly complex information requirements of manufacturers, distributors and retailers. The Company's solutions consist of software, including PkMS, a comprehensive and modular software system; services, including design, configuration, implementation, training and support; and hardware. The Company currently provides solutions to manufacturers, distributors and retailers primarily in the apparel, consumer products, food service and grocery markets. Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Position No. 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition" ("SOP 97-2"), that supersedes Statement of Position No. 91-1, "Software Revenue Recognition." Under SOP 97-2, the Company recognizes software license revenue when the following criteria are met: (1) a signed contract is obtained; (2) shipment of the product has occurred; (3) the license fee is fixed and determinable; (4) collectibility is probable; and (5) remaining obligations under the license agreement are insignificant. Consulting services are generally billed on an hourly basis and revenue is recognized as the work is performed. Maintenance revenue from ongoing customer support is billed in advance for a one year period and recorded as revenue ratably over the billing period. Hardware revenue is billed and recognized upon shipment. The adoption of SOP 97-2 did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements for the three month period ended September 30, 1998. Prior to the Conversion, the Company elected to report as a limited liability company that was treated as a partnership for income tax purposes, and as a result, the Company was not 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 was liable for federal and state income taxes as a taxable corporate entity throughout the periods 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 terminated immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Offering, and the Company will thereafter be taxed as a business corporation. See Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 Revenue Total revenue increased 87% to $16.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $8.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997. 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 97% to $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in revenue from software licenses was primarily due to an increase in the number of licenses of the Company's PkMS product. Page 10 of 20 Services. Services revenue increased 157% to $9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997. 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 decreased 7% to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The decrease in revenue from hardware was principally a result of a higher proportional demand for hardware products during the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1998. 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 purchased software. Cost of software license revenue increased to $372,000, or 10% of software license revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $122,000, or 6% of software license revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 1997. Cost of software license revenue increased principally due to the amortization of purchased software from the PAC acquisition and due to an increase in royalties associated with the sale of certain products developed by third parties. 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 $4.3 million, or 44% of services revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $1.7 million, or 44% of services revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in cost of services revenue was primarily due to increased personnel as a result of the increased demand for services. Cost of Hardware. Cost of hardware revenue decreased to $2.0 million, or 71% of hardware revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $2.2 million, or 72% of hardware revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The decrease in the cost of hardware as a percentage of hardware revenue is principally due to an increase in the percentage of hardware products sold with relatively higher gross margins during the three month period ended September 30, 1998 as compared to sales during the three month period ended September 30, 1997. Operating Expenses Research and Development. Research and development expenses principally consist of salaries and other personnel-related costs. The Company's research and development expenses increased by 160% to $2.1 million, or 12% of total revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $791,000, or 9% of total revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in research and development expenses resulted from an increase in the number of research and development personnel during the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1997. Significant product development efforts include the continued development of PkMS, the development of a client/server version of PkMS and, to a lesser extent, the continued development of SLOT-IT and the development of the Windows NT based version of SLOT-IT. 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 continue to increase in the near future. Page 11 of 20 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 172% to $2.7 million, or 16% of total revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $989,000, or 11% of total revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was the result of additional sales and marketing personnel and expanded marketing program activities. General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related costs of executive, financial and human resources and administrative personnel, as well as facilities, legal, insurance, accounting and other administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by 92% to $1.9 million, or 11% of total revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $981,000, or 11% of total revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in general and administrative expenses was principally due to increased personnel 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 $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to $757,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in the pro forma provision for income taxes is a result of an increase in income before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to the income for the three months ended September 30, 1997. Earnings per Share Pro Forma Net Income per Share. Pro forma net income was $2.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 1998, compared to pro forma net income of $1.3 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 1997. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 Revenue Total revenue increased 84% to $42.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $22.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. 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 68% to $8.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. 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, to a lesser extent, new license revenue as a result of the acquisition of PAC. Services. Services revenue increased 127% to $22.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. 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 40% to $10.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in revenue from hardware was principally due to the increased demand for the Company's PkMS product. Page 12 of 20 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 purchased software. Cost of software license revenue increased to $612,000, or 7% of software license revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $316,000, or 6% of software license revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Cost of software license revenue increased principally due to the amortization of purchased software from the PAC acquisition and due to an increase in royalties associated with the sale of certain products developed by third parties. 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 $10.2 million, or 46% of services revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $4.0 million, or 41% of services revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in cost of services revenue was primarily due to increased personnel as a result of increased demand for services. The increase in cost of services revenue as a percentage of services revenue is principally due to increased training and other costs related to the increase in services personnel. Cost of Hardware. Cost of hardware revenue increased to $8.0 million, or 74% of hardware revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $5.8 million, or 75% of hardware revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The decrease in the cost of hardware as a percentage of hardware revenue is principally due to an increase in the percentage of hardware products sold with relatively higher gross margins as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Operating Expenses Research and Development. Research and development expenses principally consist of salaries and other personnel-related costs. The Company's research and development expenses increased by 181% to $5.3 million, or 13% of total revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $1.9 million, or 8% of total revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in research and development expenses resulted from an increase in the number of research and development personnel during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Acquired Research and Development. In February 1998, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of PAC for approximately $2.2 million in cash and 106,666 shares of the Company's Common Stock valued at $10.00 per share. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase. In connection with this acquisition, approximately $1.6 million of the purchase price was allocated to acquired research and development and expensed during the first quarter of 1998. 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 150% to $6.0 million, or 14% of total revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $2.4 million, or 11% of total revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was the result of additional sales and marketing personnel and expanded marketing program activities. Page 13 of 20 General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related costs of executive, financial and human resources and administrative personnel, as well as facilities, legal, insurance, accounting and other administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by 123% to $4.4 million, or 10% of total revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $2.0 million, or 9% of total revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in general and administrative expenses was principally due to increased personnel 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 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Earnings per Share Pro Forma Net Income per Share. Pro forma net income, excluding the effect of a one-time acquired research and development charge of $1.6 million, was $5.3 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, compared to pro forma net income of $4.2 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Including the effect of the one-time acquired research and development charge, the Company's pro forma net income was $3.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Since inception, the Company has funded its operations primarily through cash generated from operations and an initial public offering in April 1998 (the "Offering"). In addition, the Company has also borrowed money from its majority stockholder. As of September 30, 1998, the Company had $34.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company's operating activities provided cash of $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. 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 was primarily the result of the Company's continued revenue growth. Cash used for investing activities was approximately $14.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and $889,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The Company's use of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was primarily for the purchase of short term investments, the acquisition of PAC, and the purchase of capital equipment, such as computer equipment and furniture and fixtures, to support the Company's growth. Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $35.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Cash used for financing activities was approximately $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The principal source of cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was additional borrowings under a Grid Promissory Note with the majority stockholder and proceeds from the issuance of Common Stock, partially reduced by distributions to the Company's stockholders prior to the Offering and the repayment of the note payable to the majority stockholder. Page 14 of 20 The Company entered into a line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank to fund its distribution to the Company's stockholders prior to the Offering 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. In April 1998, the Company borrowed approximately $7 million under the line of credit. The Company repaid the borrowings and accrued interest with the proceeds from the Offering. In April 1998, the Company completed the Offering, in which the Company received net proceeds of approximately $47.3 million after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses. The Company applied a portion of the net proceeds to repay all of the Company's outstanding indebtedness to Silicon Valley Bank ($7.0 million) and a note payable to the Company's Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President ($1.9 million). Prior to the Offering, the Company made payments of $11.7 million in distributions to stockholders. The balance of the net proceeds of the Offering (approximately $34 million) have been and will continue to be utilized for general corporate purposes. Such purposes may also include possible acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses and technologies that are complementary to those of the Company. 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 or 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. The Company anticipates that existing cash and cash equivalents will be adequate to meet its cash requirements for the next twelve months. YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded to accept only two digit entries in date code fields. Beginning in the year 2000, many of these systems will need to be modified to accept four digit entries or otherwise distinguish twenty-first century dates from twentieth century dates. As a result, over the next year and one quarter, computer systems and/or software used by many companies may need to be upgraded to comply with such "Year 2000" requirements. In September 1998, the Company formed its Year 2000 Readiness Committee to oversee the Company's Year 2000 Readiness Assessment Program, which includes establishing the Company's standard for Year 2000 Readiness, designing test parameters for its products, IT and non-IT systems, overseeing the Company's remediation program, including establishing priorities for remediation and allocating available resources, overseeing the communication of the status of the Company's efforts to its customers, and establishing contingency plans in the event the Company experiences Year 2000 disruptions. The Company describes its products as "Year 2000 Ready" when they have been successfully tested using the procedure proscribed in its Readiness Assessment Program. This procedure defines the criteria used to design tests that seek to determine the Year 2000 readiness of a product. Under the Company's criteria, a software product is Year 2000 Ready if it: (i) will completely and accurately address, present (in a two-digit format), produce, store and calculate data involving dates beginning with January 1, 2000 and will not produce abnormally ending or incorrect results involving such dates as used in any forward or regression date based functions; and (ii) will provide that all "date"-related functionalities and data fields include the indication of century and millennium, whether shown on-screen or internally noted, and will perform calculations which involve a four-digit year field, provided that the data input into the Company's software from any other source has the same Year 2000 capabilities and is in a format which is compatible with the Company's software. Page 15 of 20 Because the latest versions of the Company's products are designed to be Year 2000 compliant, the Company's Year 2000 remediation efforts with respect to its products have focused on determining the compliance of the Company's earlier software products as implemented in the Company's installed customer base, as well as the impact of any non-compliance on the Company and its customers. The Company offers its customers the alternatives of implementing a modification to non-compliant legacy versions of its software or migrating to a later version of the software which is Year 2000 Ready. Because the Company's software is often marketed as an integrated system which includes hardware and operating or interface software from third parties over which it can assert little control, the Year 2000 Readiness Committee is evaluating the Year 2000 Readiness of such systems and their vendors and the risks associated with the failure of such third parties to adequately address the Year 2000 issue. The Company's Year 2000 Readiness Committee is also addressing the Company's Year 2000 readiness with respect to both information technology ("IT") and non- IT systems on which the Company's operations rely. As a result of its recent rapid growth, the Company has within the last 18 months or expects to prior to year-end 1999 replace or significantly upgrade substantially all of its core IT systems, including those related to sales, customer service, human resources, finance and other enterprise resource planning functions. The Company believes that the upgraded systems are all Year 2000 Ready and has received assurances from the vendors of such systems to that effect. The Company is reviewing its remaining IT systems for Year 2000 Readiness, and expects to modify, replace or discontinue the use of non-compliant systems before the end of 1999. In addition, the Company is in the process of evaluating its Year 2000 readiness with respect to non-IT systems, including systems embedded in the Company's communications and office facilities. In many cases these facilities have been recently upgraded or are scheduled to be upgraded before year-end 1999 as a result of the Company's recent growth. Finally, because the Company relies upon relationships with third parties such as providers telecommunications and similar infrastructure services which it can assert little control, the Year 2000 Readiness Committee is also assessing the risks associated with the failure of such third parties to adequately address Year 2000 issues. 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. In addition, Year 2000 non-compliance in the Company's internal IT systems or certain non-IT systems on which its operations rely or by the Company's business partners may have an adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. The majority of the work performed for the Company's Year 2000 Readiness Assessment Program has been completed by the Company's staff. The total costs for completing the Year 2000 Readiness Assessment Program, including modifications to the Company's software products, is estimated to be between $0.5 million and $1.0 million, funded through the Company's internal operating cash flows. This cost does not include the cost for new software, or for modifications to existing software, for the Company's core IT and non-IT systems, as these projects were not accelerated due to the Year 2000 issue. 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 Page 16 of 20 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. The Company's evaluation of its Year 2000 issue includes the development of contingency plans for business functions that are susceptible to a substantive risk of disruption resulting from a Year 2000 related event. Because the Company has not yet identified any business function that is materially at risk of Year 2000 related disruption, it has not yet developed detailed contingency plans specific to Year 2000 events for any business function. The Company is prepared for the possibility, however, that certain business functions may be hereafter identified as at risk and will develop contingency plans for such business functions when and if such determinations are made.

Executive agrees that the Proprietary Information is the exclusive property of
Company (or a third party providing such information to Company) and Company (or
such third party) owns all worldwide copyrights, trade secret rights,
confidential information rights, and all other property rights therein.

          (b) Company's disclosure of the Proprietary Information to Executive
does not confer upon Executive any license, interest or rights in or to the
Proprietary Information.  Except in the performance of services for Company,
Executive will hold in confidence and will not, without Company's prior written
consent, use, reproduce, distribute, transmit, reverse engineer, decompile,
disassemble, or transfer, directly or indirectly, in any form, or for any
purpose, any Proprietary Information communicated or made available by Company
to or received by Executive.  Executive agrees to notify Company immediately if
he discovers any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Proprietary Information.

          (c) To further protect Proprietary Information, Executive agrees that
if his or her employment with Company ends for any reason during the first three
(3) years after the initial date of employment, then for a period of six (6)
months after the end of Executive's employment he will not, without Company's
prior written consent, perform any of the Duties that he performed on behalf of
Company for the Executive's immediately prior employer if such prior employer
competes with the Company Business.

          (d) Executive's obligations under this Agreement with regard to (i)
Trade Secrets shall remain in effect for as long as such information remains a
trade secret under applicable law, and (ii) Confidential Information shall
remain in effect during Executive's employment with Company and for three years
thereafter.  These obligations will not apply to the extent that Executive
establishes that the information communicated  (1) was already known to
Executive, without an obligation to keep it confidential at the time of its
receipt from Company; (2) was received by Executive in good faith from a third
party lawfully in possession thereof and having no obligation to keep such
information confidential; or (3) was publicly known at the time of its receipt
by Executive or has become publicly known other than by a breach of this
Agreement or other action by Executive.

     7.  Non-Solicitation.
         ---------------- 

     A. Customers.  The relationships made or enhanced during Executive's
        ---------
employment with Company belong to Company. During Executive's employment and the
two year period beginning immediately upon the termination of Executive's
employment 

                                      -4-

 
with Company for any reason (the "Two Year Limitation Period"), Executive will
not, without Company's prior written consent, contact, solicit or attempt to
solicit, on his own or another's behalf, any Customer with whom Executive had
contact in the two years prior to the end of Executive's employment with Company
for any reason (the "Two Year Restrictive Period") with a view of offering,
selling or licensing any program, product or service that is competitive with
the Company Business.


     B.  Employees/Independent Contractors.  During Executive's employment and
         ---------------------------------                                    
the Two Year Limitation Period, Executive will not, without Company's prior
written consent, call upon, solicit, recruit, or assist others in calling upon,
soliciting or recruiting any person who is or was an employee of Company during
the Two Year Restrictive Period for the purpose of having such person work in
any other corporation, entity, or business that is competitive with the Company
Business.

     8.  Non-Competition.  During the Two Year Limitation Period, Executive
         ---------------                                                   
agrees that he  will not, without Company's prior written consent, perform his
or her Duties for any person or entity in competes directly with the Company
Business if Company is still engaged in the Company Business during such Two
Year Limitation Period.  The parties agree and acknowledge that (i) the
definitions of Duties and period of restriction reasonably and fairly limit this
noncompete restriction and are reasonably required for Company's protection
because Executive must perform his or her Duties on behalf of Customers; and
(ii) by having access to information concerning employees and Company's
Customers, Executive shall obtain a competitive advantage as to such parties.

     9.  Acknowledgments.  The parties hereto agree that:  (i) the restrictions
         ---------------                                                       
contained in this Agreement are fair and reasonable in that they are reasonably
required for the protection of Company; (ii) by having access to information
concerning employees and customers of Company, Executive shall obtain a
competitive advantage as to such parties; (iii) the covenants and agreements of
Executive contained in this Agreement are reasonably necessary to protect the
interests of Company in whose favor said covenants and agreements are imposed in
light of the nature of Company's business and the involvement of Executive in
such business; (iv) the restrictions imposed by this Agreement are not greater
than are necessary for the protection of Company in light of the substantial
harm that Company will suffer should Executive breach any of the provisions of
said covenants or agreements and (v) the covenants and agreements of Executive
contained in this Agreement form material consideration for this Agreement.

     10.  Remedy for Breach.  Executive agrees that the remedies at law of
          -----------------                                               
Company for any actual or threatened breach by Executive of the covenants
contained in Sections 5. through 8. of this Agreement would be inadequate and
that Company shall be entitled to specific performance of the covenants in such
paragraphs or injunctive relief against activities in violation of such
paragraphs, or both, by temporary or permanent injunction or other appropriate
judicial remedy, writ or order, in addition to any damages and legal expenses
(including attorney's fees) which Company may be legally entitled to recover.
Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained in Sections 5.
through 8. of this Agreement shall be construed as agreements independent of any
other provision of this or any other agreement between the parties hereto, and
that the existence of any claim or cause of action by Executive against Company,

                                      -5-

 
whether predicated upon this or any other agreement, shall not constitute a
defense to the enforcement by Company of said covenants.

     11.  No Prior Agreements.  Executive hereby represents and warrants to
          -------------------                                              
Company that the execution of this Agreement by Executive and Executive's
employment by Company and the performance of Executive's duties hereunder shall
not violate or be a breach of any agreement with a former employer, client or
any other person or entity.

     12.  Assignment; Binding Effect.  Executive understands that Executive has
          --------------------------                                           
been selected for employment by Company on the basis of Executive's personal
qualifications, experience and skills.  Executive agrees, therefore, that
Executive cannot assign all or any portion of Executive's performance under this
Agreement.  Subject to the preceding two (2) sentences and the express
provisions of Section 13. below, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective
heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.  The rights and
obligations of Company hereunder shall be available to a successor in interest
of Company, including a successor established for the purpose of converting
Company to a corporation.

     13.  Complete Agreement.  This Agreement is not a promise of future
          ------------------                                            
employment.  Executive has no oral representations, understandings or agreements
with Company or any of its officers, directors or representatives covering the
same subject matter as this Agreement.  This Agreement hereby supersedes any
other employment agreements or understandings, written or oral, between Company

statement and expression of the agreement between Company and Executive and of
all the terms of this Agreement, and it cannot be varied, contradicted or
supplemented by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous oral or written
agreements.  This written Agreement may not be later modified except by a
further writing signed by a duly authorized officer of Company and Executive,
and no term of this Agreement may be waived except by writing signed by the
party waiving the benefit of such term.

          ------
