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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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

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
and Executive.  This written Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive
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.

14.  Notice.  Whenever any notice is required hereunder, it shall be given
------
