1.  Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 30, 1999 is unaudited and
as of January 31, 1999 is audited. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three
months ended April 30, 1999 and 1998 are unaudited.  In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (which include reclassifications and normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows at April 30, 1999 and 1998 have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed
consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended January 31, 1999.  The results of operations for the three months
ended April 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for
the full year.

2.  Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss includes changes in the balances of items that are reported
directly in a separate component of stockholders' equity on the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets.  A reconciliation of comprehensive loss for the
three months ended April 30, 1999 and 1998 is as follows (in thousands):

3.  Net Loss Per Share

We compute net income (loss) per share in accordance with the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, Earnings Per
Share.  Basic income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period.   Diluted income (loss)
per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive
common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  Common equivalent
shares consist of the shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options using
the treasury stock method.  The following table sets forth the computation of
basic and diluted loss per share (in thousands, except for per share amounts):

Shares of common stock equivalents issued using the treasury stock method of
approximately 256,000 and 640,000 for the three months ended April 30, 1999 and
1998, respectively, were not included in the diluted calculation because they
were anti-dilutive.  Due to the net loss for the three months ended April 30,
1999 and 1998, basic and diluted per share amounts are the same.

4.  Line of Credit

In April 1999, we entered into a secured credit agreement with The First
National Bank of Chicago, which expires on April 18, 2002.  The maximum amount
that can be borrowed under this credit agreement is subject to terms of the
borrowing base, up to a maximum of $30 million.   This credit agreement is
currently secured by certain QAD assets and can be terminated voluntarily by us.
QAD is in the process of granting and perfecting certain additional security
interests in favor of The First National Bank of Chicago, as required under the
credit agreement in order to qualify to borrow against the full amount of the
borrowing base.  Borrowings under this credit agreement bear interest equal to
the LIBOR plus 2.25 percent or ABR plus 1.00 percent.  ABR is the higher of the
corporate base rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50 percent.  As
of April 30, 1999, the rate was 7.25 percent based on a LIBOR of 5.00 percent
plus 2.25 percent. We pay an annual commitment fee of 0.50 percent calculated on
the average unused portion of the $30 million credit line.

In April 1999, the subordinated notes totaling $12,362,000 in principal amount
were paid.  We funded the payoff of the subordinated notes with a draw on The
First National Bank of Chicago line of credit.

As of April 30, 1999, we did not meet certain bank covenants. We obtained a
temporary waiver from The First National Bank of Chicago. We are currently
working with the bank to obtain a permanent waiver and to revise the existing
covenants to increase our ability to meet them in the future.

5.  Restructuring Charge

In October 1998, we implemented a plan to restructure operations.  Pursuant to
the Plan, we recorded a restructuring charge of $4.3 million for the fiscal year
1999.  This charge included the costs associated with the consolidation of
certain facilities ($3.3 million) and an approximate reduction of 230 positions
across a broad cross-section of QAD ($1.0 million).  As of April 30, 1999, $3.3
million of the $4.3 million was utilized and we expect to pay the remaining
balance by January 31, 2003.  There were no adjustments to the liability during
the three months ended April 30, 1999.

We are in the process of extending our restructuring program and anticipate an
additional charge in the second quarter of this fiscal year.

6.  Segment Information and International Operations

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 "Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," or SFAS No. 131, in
fiscal year 1999.  SFAS No. 131 establishes annual and interim standards for
reporting information regarding operating segments, as well as related
disclosures about products, services and geographic areas.  As a result, amounts
presented are determined on a consistent basis in accordance with SFAS No. 131.

We operate in regions or geographic operating segments.  Operations for the
Europe region include sales to customers in the Middle East and Africa.
Operations for the Asia Pacific region include sales to customers in Australia
and New Zealand.  Management-based cost allocations have been utilized for
purposes of determining regional operating income (loss).

                                    QAD Inc.
    Management's Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
                                   Operations

Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or
statements of current condition and relate to future events or the future
financial performance of QAD.  Some forward-looking statements may be identified
by use of such terms as "believes," "anticipates," "intends" or "expects."

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed
consolidated statements and notes thereto.  This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
may be deemed to include forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that involve risk and uncertainty, including financial,
business environment and trend projections.  Although QAD believes that its
expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that
its goals will be achieved.  The important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements herein
include, without limitation, the historical fluctuations in quarterly results
and the potential future significant fluctuations, product mix, the dependence
on third-party products, the rapid technological change, the supply chain
solutions under development and underlying technology, dependence upon
development and maintenance of sales and marketing channels, the reliance on and
need to develop additional relationships with third-parties, QAD's inability to
address Year 2000 issues and other factors detailed in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended January 31, 1999.  These factors, among other things,
could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those
currently anticipated.

Results for the Three Months Ended April 30, 1999 and 1998:

Total Revenue. Total revenue for the three months ended April 30, 1999 increased
20% to $53.3 million from $44.3 million in the same period in 1998.  The
increase in total revenue was primarily due to a 34% increase in maintenance
revenue from the growing installed base and a 738% increase in services revenue.
The increase in services revenue was due to a new emphasis on services that
began in late fiscal year 1999 with the acquisition of several QAD distributors
and the launch of our QAD Global Services business.  These increases were
partially offset by a 25% decline in license fees.  We believe the license fee
decline is the result of manufacturers' re-allocation of capital resources
toward fixing existing Y2K problems, and more recently due to manufacturers'
self-imposed "software lockdown".  This software lockdown, or prohibition
against purchasing new software, is an attempt to simplify the analysis and
repair process should manufacturers encounter Y2K problems.

Cost of Revenue.  Cost of revenue consists primarily of charges incurred from
reselling third-party databases (and their associated maintenance contracts)
which are required to run MFG/PRO software, the performance of software service
contracts, support costs associated with MFG/PRO software maintenance contracts,
and costs to reproduce and deliver QAD software.   During the three months ended
April 30, 1999, cost of revenue increased 110% to $24.7 million (46% of total
revenue) from $11.8 million (27% of total revenue) in the same period in 1998.
The increase as a percentage of total revenue was primarily due to the shift in
revenue mix toward the lower margin services business, as well as toward
externally sourced licenses which carry royalty costs.  The cost of revenue
percentage is expected to improve as the expanding services business is expected
to reach significantly increased productivity in the second quarter of this
fiscal year.

Sales and Marketing.  During the three months ended April 30, 1999, sales and
marketing expense increased 5% to $22.2 million (42% of total revenue) from
$21.1 million (48% of total revenue) compared to the same period last year. The
decrease as a percentage of total revenue was primarily the result of a
restructuring program, which began in late fiscal year 1999.

Research and Development.  During the three months ended April 30, 1999,
research and development expense decreased 21% to $9.0 million (17% of total
revenue) from $11.4 million (26% of total revenue) in the same period in the
prior year.  The decrease in absolute dollars was primarily due to the reduction
in the utilization of third party developers, as well as the transfer of
research and development personnel into revenue generating positions within the
Global Services organization in late fiscal year 1999.

Consistent with SFAS No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to
be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed," issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards board, we capitalize software development costs incurred in connection
with the localization and translation of our products once technological
feasibility has been achieved.  Capitalized development costs are amortized on a
straight-line

                                       7


basis over three years and charged to costs of revenue. All other development
costs are expensed to research and development as incurred.

General and Administrative.  During the three months ended April 30, 1999,
general and administrative expense increased 36% to $6.9 million (13% of total
revenue) from $5.0 million (11% of total revenue) in the same period in 1998.
The increase in absolute dollars resulted primarily from incremental expense
related to the distributors acquired in late fiscal year 1999, including the
amortization of acquired intangible assets.  This increase was partially offset
by a reduction in workforce related to the restructuring program implemented in
late fiscal year 1999.

Other (Income) Expense.  Total other (income) expense is composed primarily of
interest income, interest expense and transaction gains and losses.  During the
three months ended April 30, 1999, other (income) expense decreased to $0.5
million from $(1.4) million.  The decrease was primarily due to significantly
reduced interest income related to less invested cash and increased interest
expense on the notes payable related to an acquisition completed in late fiscal
year 1999.

Benefit for Income Taxes.  We recorded income tax benefit of zero and $1.4
million for the three months ended April 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  Our
effective tax rate was zero and (38)% for the three months ended April 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively.  We have not provided benefit on the loss before income
taxes at April 30, 1999 due to Management's determination regarding the
uncertainty of realization of such tax benefits in the current year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our operations and met our capital expenditure
requirements through cash flows from operations, sales of equity securities and
short-term borrowings.  As of April 30, 1999, we had working capital and cash
and equivalents and short-term investments of $6.0 million and $20.3 million,
respectively as compared to $20.7 million and $19.1 million as of January 31,
1999.  The decrease in working capital was primarily due to the refinancing of
$12,362,000 in long-term subordinated notes using a draw on The First National
Bank of Chicago line of credit, purchases of property and equipment and
capitalized software development costs.

Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, decreased to $79.6
million at April 30, 1999 from $95.3 million at January 31, 1999.  Accounts
receivable days' sales outstanding increased slightly to 134 days at April 30,
1999 from 131 days at January 31, 1999.  We believe the days' sales outstanding
are higher than desired and we are focusing on sales terms and collection
processes to improve cash flows and working capital.

Cash flows used in operating activities were $41,000 and $1.2 million for the
three months ended April 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  Cash flows provided
by (used in) investing activities aggregated $0.5 million and $(5.3) million in
the three months ended April 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively and primarily
related to the purchase of computer equipment and office furniture in both
periods and an offset from the sale of short-term investments in the three
months ended April 30, 1999.  Cash flows provided by financing activities
totaled $4.0 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended April 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively, and were comprised of net proceeds from borrowings and
issuance of common stock.  At April 30, 1999, we had no material commitments for
capital expenditures.

In April 1999, we entered into a secured credit agreement with The First
National Bank of Chicago, which expires on April 18, 2002.  The maximum amount
that can be borrowed under this credit agreement is subject to terms of the
borrowing base, up to a maximum of $30 million.   This credit agreement is
currently secured by certain QAD assets and can be terminated voluntarily by us.
QAD is in the process of granting and perfecting certain additional security
interests in favor of The First National Bank of Chicago, as required under the
credit agreement in order to qualify to borrow against the full amount of the
borrowing base.  Borrowings under this credit agreement bear interest equal to
the LIBOR plus 2.25 percent or ABR plus 1.00 percent.  ABR is the higher of the
corporate base rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50 percent.  As
of April 30, 1999, the rate was 7.25 percent based on a LIBOR of 5.00 percent
plus 2.25 percent. We pay an annual commitment fee of 0.50 percent calculated on
the average unused portion of the $30 million credit line.

                                       8


As of April 30, 1999, we did not meet certain bank covenants. We obtained a
temporary waiver from The First National Bank of Chicago. We are currently
working with the bank to obtain a permanent waiver and to revise the existing
covenants to increase our ability to meet them in the future.

We believe that the cash on hand and the expected available borrowings under the
amended credit agreement will provide us with sufficient resources to meet our
current and long-term working capital requirements, debt service and other cash
needs for the next twelve months.

Restructuring Charge

In October 1998, we implemented a plan to restructure operations.  Pursuant to
the Plan, we recorded a restructuring charge of $4.3 million for the fiscal year
1999.  This charge included the costs associated with the consolidation of
certain facilities ($3.3 million) and an approximate reduction of 230 positions
across a broad cross-section of QAD ($1.0 million).  As of April 30, 1999, $3.3
million of the $4.3 million was utilized and we expect to pay the remaining
balance by January 31, 2003.  There were no adjustments to the liability during
the three months ended April 30, 1999.

We are in the process of extending our restructuring program and anticipate an
additional charge in the second quarter of this fiscal year.

Year 2000 Compliance

Our business operations are significantly dependent upon the same proprietary
software products we license to customers.  Our management believes it has
successfully addressed Y2K readiness in our proprietary software products and
does not anticipate any business interruptions associated with these
applications.  To ensure that we have adequately addressed exposures related to
the Y2K and to ensure that we are Y2K ready, we have established a Y2K program
that includes business partners and other third-party relationships.  We define
systems as "Y2K ready" if they are either "Y2K compliant" or otherwise will
operate without any substantial decrease in performance as a result of
processing date data into the next century.  "Y2K compliant" means the system
must perform fault-free in the processing of date and date related data
(including calculating, comparing and sequencing) by all software of components
individually and in combination, upon installation.  Fault-free performance
includes the manipulation of this data with dates prior to, through and beyond
January 1, 2000.

Our Y2K program consists of these five phases: 1) Assessment, 2) Planning, 3)
Resources, 4) Technology and 5) Reporting.  These phases are defined as follows:

 1)  Assessment - which identifies the magnitude of Y2K exposure, a process that
        includes estimating the business risk of not becoming Y2K compliant,
        determining our potential areas for Y2K exposure, and developing an
        internal definition of compliance;
 2)  Planning - which details corporate planning efforts, including taking
        inventory and analyzing our systems for Y2K impact and developing
        contingency plans for systems that pose unusual compliance issues;
 3)  Resources - which ensures that funds and resources are sufficient, given
        the magnitude of the Y2K plan. This is facilitated by obtaining funds
        through internal mechanisms and assessing staff capacity for remediation
        and testing;
 4)  Technology - which executes the work needed to repair or retire existing
        systems, through a process which includes programming, code testing,
        user testing data conversion and program implementation and
 5)  Reporting - which includes providing status of program activities to
        business and regulatory bodies.

We have completed the first three phases and are near completion of our fourth
phase in addressing the readiness of our information technology (IT) systems,
excluding our proprietary software products which QAD believes to be generally
Y2K compliant currently.  We are in the "Resources" phase with regard to our
state of readiness for areas classified as non-IT systems.  We are almost
complete with the fourth phase, which encompasses "Technology" for third-party
products that constitute material relationships.  We expect to have
substantially completed all five phases by October 31, 1999.

As of April 30, 1999, the direct costs incurred to remediate Y2K issues were not
material.  Costs directly attributed to our overall Y2K program is estimated to
be approximately $1.3 million.

                                       9


Significant uncertainty exists in the software industry concerning the potential
effects associated with Y2K readiness.  Although we currently offer software
products that are designed and have been tested to be ready for the Year 2000,
there can be no assurance that our software products contain all necessary date
code changes.  Furthermore, it has been widely reported that a significant
amount of litigation surrounding business interruptions will arise out of Y2K
issues.  It is uncertain whether, or to what extent, this type of litigation may
affect us.  Additionally, third-party software, computer and other equipment
used internally may materially impact us if it is not Y2K compliant.  Our
operations may be at risk if our suppliers and other third parties fail to
adequately address the problem or if software conversions result in system
incompatibilities. This issue could result in system failures, the generation of
erroneous information, and other significant disruptions of business activities.
To the extent that either QAD or a third-party vendor or service provider on
which we rely does not achieve Y2K readiness, we may be adversely impacted.  As
part of the five-phase process outlined above, we are developing specific
contingency plans in connection with the assessment and resolution of the risks
identified.  We have established certain IT contingency plans, and we are
continuing to develop additional plans regarding each specific area of risk
associated with this issue as part of our Y2K program.  We also hold insurance
coverage for errors and omissions, which includes coverage for customer claims
associated with Y2K issues.
