EXHIBIT 13.1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW The Indus Group develops, markets, implements and supports client/server enterprise management software solutions for process industries worldwide. The Company was founded in 1988, operated as a sole proprietorship until being incorporated in 1990, and completed its initial publc offering on February 29, 1996. The Company derives its revenues primarily from software licenses, implementation and training services and associated maintenance fees sold to electric and gas utilities and other process-related industries. 16 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth the Company's results of operations for the periods indicated expressed as a percentage of total revenues.

Total revenues increased 76% from $30.6 million in 1994 to $53.8 million in 1995, and 41% to $75.9 million in 1996. The increase in 1995 resulted from increased licensing activity in the latter half of 1994 and the associated increase in demand for the Company's implementation and training services. The growth in 1996 was attributable to increased licensing activity combined with new customer licenses and subsequent implementation and training services. The Company does not believe the revenue growth experienced in 1996 is necessarily indicative of any revenue growth that may occur in future periods. Cost of Revenues Cost of revenues consists primarily of: (i) personnel and related costs for implementation, including the costs of the Company's Account Executives, and (ii) personnel and related costs for training and customer support services. Substantially all of the cost of revenues is attributable to providing services and maintenance. Costs of software license fees, which consist primarily of packaging and production costs, are not significant and are not segregated in the Company's accounting records. All software development costs are expensed to research and development as incurred. Cost of revenues increased 76% from $12.8 million in 1994 to $22.6 million in 1995 and 41% to $31.8 million in 1996, and represented 42% of total revenues in each of those years. The 1995 and 1996 increases resulted from the cost of increased services associated with major new license agreements as well as the cost of additional services associated with the expansion of existing projects. Research and Development Research and development expenses consist primarily of: (i) personnel and related costs and (ii) computer timeshare costs directly attributable to the development of new software application products, enhancements to existing products and the costs of porting the Company's products to different platforms. Research and development expenses increased by 17% from $7.1 million in 1994 to $8.3 million in 1995 and increased by 50% to $12.5 million in 1996, and represented 23%, 15% and 16% respectively, of total revenues in those years. The decline in research and development as a percentage of total revenues in 1995 was due to the increase in total revenues. Research and development investment increased in absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenues in 1996 as compared to 1995 due to the Company committing substantial development resources towards incorporating new technologies into PASSPORT and designing additional PASSPORT applications. The Company believes that a significant level of research and development is essential to remain competitive and will continue to invest development resources towards incorporating new technologies into PASSPORT and designing additional PASSPORT functionality. The level of these expenditures for a particular period may vary depending on the projects in progress. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, software development costs are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility of the software is established, after which any additional costs are capitalized. To date, the Company has expensed all software development costs because development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility have not been material. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses increased by 39% from $4.1 million in 1994 to $5.7 million in 1995 and increased by 64% to $9.3 million in 1996, and represented 14%, 11% and 12%, respectively, of total revenues in those years. The 1995 and 1996 increases in absolute dollars resulted from increased staffing levels and increased commissions expenses associated with increased revenues. The Company believes that sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues will increase in 1997 due to the reallocation of certain expenditures originally intended for research and development to sales and marketing efforts, and will increase as the Company expands its presence in the domestic market, initiates operations in additional international markets, develops new and existing marketing and product strategic alliances and increases focus on vertical markets. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses increased by 4% from $4.7 million in 1994 to $4.9 million in 1995 and increased by 59% to $7.8 million in 1996. These expenses represented 15%, 9% and 10%, respectively, of total revenues in those years. The increase in 1996 primarily resulted from incremental expenditures related to becoming a public company and expansion in staffing to support the Company's growth. Compensation Charge - Stock Options The Company amended its 1992 Stock Option Plan effective in September 1995 to accelerate the exercisability of all outstanding stock options (covering 1,788,570 shares of Common Stock). Exercisability had previously been contingent upon certain "liquidity events" such as an initial public offering or an acquisition of the Company. As a result of this amendment, the Company recognized a non-recurring compensation charge of $18.9 million in the third quarter of 1995. Provision for Income Taxes Effective upon its incorporation in 1990, the Company elected to have its United States income taxed under Subchapter S of the Code. Accordingly, income tax provisions prior to 1996 were principally attributable to state taxes and taxes imposed by governments on the Company's foreign operations. The Company's S Corporation status terminated effective January 1, 1996, and the Company was subject to federal income taxation at the corporate level thereafter. In connection with the termination of S Corporation status as of January 1, 1996, a one-time charge representing a cumulative net federal and state deferred income tax liability of $6.7 million was recorded during the first quarter of 1996. Net Income (Loss) The Company's net income of $2.5 million in 1996 increased from the net loss recorded in 1995, primarily due to increased revenues. The effect of the increased revenues was partially offset by the factors described above and by a one-time charge representing a cumulative net federal and state deferred income tax liability associated with the Company's conversion to C Corporation status. The loss in 1995 was a result of the non-recurring compensation charge upon elimination of the contingency related to stock options. o LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES During 1996, the Company financed its operations primarily through cash provided by operations and the proceeds of its initial public offering. In March 1996, the Company received $33.9 million, representing the proceeds (net of underwriting commissions and offering costs) from an initial public offering of 2,500,000 shares of its Common Stock. Cash provided by operations was $2.3 million, $3.1 million and $20.2 million in 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Accounts receivable increased substantially in 1995 as the overall level of new licensing activity and associated service levels increased. Accounts receivable decreased in 1996 in spite of increased revenues as a result of additional focus on collections. Investing activities, consisting primarily of the purchase of marketable securities and acquisitions of property and equipment, used cash of approximately $861,000, $577,000 and $33.3 million in 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Financing activities in 1994 and 1995 used cash of $1.4 million and $2.6 million, respectively. Financing activities in 1996 generated cash of $26.3 million primarily as a result of the proceeds from the initial public offering partially offset by repayment of the line of credit. As of December 31, 1996, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of approximately $13.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and $26.5 million in marketable securities. In addition, the Company has an unsecured revolving bank line of credit agreement which permits borrowings, including stand-by letters of credit, of up to $15 million. The facility expires in May 1997. The Company believes it will be able to renew this agreement or replace it on terms acceptable to the Company. No borrowings were outstanding under this line at December 31, 1996. The Company presently anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $6.0 million in 1997, primarily for equipment and furniture. The Company believes that existing cash and marketable securities, anticipated cash flow from operations and available bank borrowings will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements during at least the next 12 months. The foregoing statement regarding the Company's expectations for continued liquidity is a forward-looking statement, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, including variable operating results. 17 18 CONTENTS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 19 REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS 20 BALANCE SHEETS 21 STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS 22 STATEMENT OF SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY 23 STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS 24 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Board of Directors and Shareholders The Indus Group, Inc.

On March 1, 1996, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, The Indus Group, Inc. purchased all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Indus International, Inc., an entity which was incorporated in 1993 to operate in the United Kingdom and which was related to The Indus Group, Inc. through control by common shareholders. The purchase price of the net assets, which equaled the net book value, was $103,252. Concurrent with this purchase, The Indus Group, Inc. established a new wholly-owned subsidiary also named Indus International, Inc. to which the net assets were transferred. On January 1, 1996, The Indus Group, Inc. established a foreign sales corporation, Indus Foreign Sales Corporation. Collectively, the entities are referred to as the Company. The Company develops, markets, implements and supports client/server enterprise management software solutions. The Company focuses primarily on process industry companies, including electric utility, nuclear, oil and gas, chemical refining, steel and forest products companies. o BASIS OF PRESENTATION The Company's combined financial statements for 1994 and 1995 include the accounts of The Indus Group, Inc. and Indus International, Inc. The Company's consolidated financial statements for 1996 include the accounts of The Indus Group, Inc., Indus International, Inc. and Indus Foreign Sales Corporation. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. o SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Revenue recognition The Company provides its software to customers under contracts which provide for both software license fees and system implementation services. Revenues from system implementation services, which generally are time- and material-based, are recognized as direct contract costs are incurred. Revenues from application software licenses are recognized as earned revenue over the estimated time period to complete implementation of the software, which period generally is twelve to fourteen months. Revenues from client workstation software are recognized as billed. A portion of license fees is deferred initially and subsequently recognized over the one-year period during which continuing maintenance and support services are provided to customers under the contracts. After that initial contract period, additional maintenance and support services are subject to separate contracts for which revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period. Unbilled accounts receivable represent amounts related to revenue which has been recorded either as deferred revenue or earned revenue but which has not been billed. Generally, unbilled amounts are billed within 90 days. Deferred revenue represents primarily unearned license fees and unearned maintenance and support fees. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company's customers are generally large companies in the electrical utility, nuclear, oil and gas, chemical refining, steel and forest products industries. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and does not require collateral. The Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses and such losses have been within management's expectations. Two customers accounted for 12% and 11% of revenues in 1995 and 11% and 10% of revenues in 1996. No individual customer represented greater than 10% of sales in 1994. Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities The Company considers all highly liquid, low risk debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company generally invests its cash and cash equivalents in money market accounts. The Company presently classifies all marketable securities as available-for-sale investments and carries them at fair market value. Marketable securities represent U.S. government obligations and indirect investments in municipal obligations. Marketable securities classified as long-term mature no later than July 1998. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of taxes, are carried as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation on office and computer equipment and furniture is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of five to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the related lease term or their estimated useful lives. The Company's policy is to capitalize software development costs after technological feasibility has been established. To date, software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility have not been material and have not been capitalized. Income Taxes Effective January 1, 1996, the Company elected C Corporation status for income tax purposes. Prior to 1996, the Company was an S Corporation and, as a result, income determined on the cash basis for income tax purposes was taxable to the shareholders, and not the Company, for federal and certain state income tax purposes. In connection with the termination of S Corporation status on January 1, 1996, a $6.7 million cumulative effect charge was recorded. The majority of the cumulative effect charge is due to changing from the cash basis of accounting as an S Corporation to the accrual basis of accounting as a C Corporation. The related deferred tax liability is payable over four years. The provision for income taxes included in the accompanying financial statements represents federal, state and foreign income taxes in 1996 and state income taxes in certain states for the Company and foreign income taxes relating to Indus International, Inc. in 1995 and 1994. Pro Forma Data For purposes of presenting comparative earnings and calculating earnings per share data, pro forma net income for 1996 reflects the elimination of the $6.7 million cumulative deferred income tax charge. NOTES TO COMBINED (1994 and 1995); CONSOLIDATED (1996) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Pro forma net income in 1995 reflects provisions for taxes assuming the Company was taxed as a C Corporation. Furthermore, pro forma net income data in 1995 includes a $1 million nonrecurring compensation charge representing the fair value of the options granted in 1995 and excludes a $18.9 million nonrecurring compensation charge representing the value of unexercised non-qualified stock options upon elimination of the contingency feature. The contingency feature was intended to preserve the Company's S Corporation qualification by limiting the number of shareholders. If the Company had not been an S Corporation, no contingency feature would have been necessary. Per Share Data Pro forma net income per share is computed using pro forma net income and the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during each period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of incremental common shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options (using the treasury stock method). Pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletins and Staff policy, the number of shares in 1995 also includes: (i) all common shares issued (and shares subject to stock options granted) within 12 months of the initial public offering date, as if they were outstanding for all periods presented; and (ii) 634,444 additional shares (equivalent to dividends paid in 1995 divided by the expected offering price per share). Foreign Currency Translation Gains and losses from the translation of Indus International, Inc.'s financial statements are included in shareholders' equity. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions were immaterial in all periods presented. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.

NOTES TO COMBINED (1994 and 1995); CONSOLIDATED (1996) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 7....SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY On December 27, 1995, the articles of incorporation of The Indus Group, Inc. were amended to: (i) increase the authorized number of common shares to 50,000,000, all of which are voting shares; (ii) effect a 17-for-one split of the outstanding common shares (and shares under option), and (iii) authorize 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, issuable in series, with the rights and preferences to be established for each series. All share and per share data in the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted retroactively to give effect to the stock split. No series of preferred stock has been designated. Preferred and Common Stock On February 29, 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering in which it sold 2,500,000 shares of common stock at $15.00 per share. The offering raised net proceeds of $33,863,764 after underwriting discount and $1,011,236 in related expenses.

The notes will be forgiven over a five-year period provided the note holders continue their employment with the Company. Additional deferred compensation of $370,000 has been recorded for the difference between the notes and the deemed fair value of the shares at the date of issuance. The $479,626 total deferred compensation is being amortized over the five-year period. 1992 Stock Option Plan In 1992, the Company adopted a stock option plan under which options for a total of 1,805,400 shares of common stock may be granted to employees. The exercise price of each common share under option was the book value per share on the grant date. No further options will be granted under the 1992 Stock Option Plan. Under the plan, options granted would not be exercisable until a "liquidity event" had occurred. A liquidity event was defined as the sale of more than 20% of the voting stock interest to an independent party or parties or an acquisition of the Company which would result in termination of the plan. Options granted would expire on the earlier of termination of employment or ten years. Upon expiration of an option, the Company was obligated to pay the optionee the increase in book value over the term of the option ("the book value appreciation feature"). If any options were exercised, the Company would retain the right to repurchase the issued shares at their then book value upon termination of employment. As of September 29, 1995, the board of directors eliminated the liquidity event contingency, thereby causing the options then outstanding as to 1,791,970 common shares to be exercisable in their entirety. As a result, these options were valued as of September 30, 1995 for financial statement purposes and a one-time charge of $18,900,000 was recorded in the combined statement of operations. The book value appreciation feature, in the event of expiration of an option, also was eliminated at that time. A summary of activity under the option plan is as follows: Options Outstanding -------------------------- Shares Available Number Price Per for Grant of Share Share - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balances at December 31, 1993 99,790 1,705,610 $0.28-$0.35 Options canceled 298,860 (298,860) $0.28-$0.35 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balances at December 31, 1994 398,650 1,406,750 $0.28-$0.35 Options granted (438,260) 438,260 $0.69 Options canceled 56,440 (56,440) $0.28 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balances at December 31, 1995 16,830 1,788,570 $0.28-$0.69 Options exercised -- (916,845) $0.28-$0.69 Options canceled 1,700 (1,700) $0.28 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balances at December 31, 1996 18,500 870,025 $0.28-$0.69 ================================================================================ 27 28 NOTES TO COMBINED (1994 and 1995); CONSOLIDATED (1996) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1995 Stock Plan The 1995 Stock Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to employees of the Company and nonstatutory stock options to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. A total of 1,500,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the plan. The incentive stock options will be granted at not less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant; nonqualified stock options will be granted at not less than 85% of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. The options will generally vest over a one to four year period and have a maximum term of ten years. A summary of activity under the option plan is as follows: Options Outstanding ---------------------------- Shares Available Number of Price Per for Grant Share Share - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balances at December 31, 1995 1,500,000 -- Options granted (807,350) 807,350 $16.50-$22.75 Options canceled 2,250 (2,250) $16.50 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balances at December 31, 1996 694,900 805,100 $16.50-$22.75 ================================================================================ 1995 Director Option Plan The 1995 Director Option Plan provides for the issuance of nonstatutory stock options to nonemployee directors of the Company. A total of 100,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance. Under the plan, nonemployee directors were each granted an option to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock upon the completion of the initial public offering in February 1996. The options were granted at an exercise price of $15.00 per share and vest quarterly over a four year period. On each date of the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders, each nonemployee director will be granted an option to purchase an additional 2,500 shares, provided the director has served on the board for at least six months. Future options will be granted at the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant and will vest quarterly over a four year period. 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Company has an employee stock purchase plan under which 500,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance. The plan allows for eligible employees to purchase stock at 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the Company's common stock as of the first day of each six-month offering period or the fair market value of the stock at the end of the offering period. The offering period will commence on January 1 and July 1 of each year, with the first offering period beginning on such date following the closing of the initial public offering in February 1996. Purchases will be limited to 10% of each employee's compensation. The Company issued 71,309 shares under the plan in 1996 at prices ranging from $12.75 to $17.21 per share. NOTES TO COMBINED (1994 and 1995); CONSOLIDATED (1996) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 9....ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF VALUING STOCK OPTIONS The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principal Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because, as discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," (Statement 123) requires use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized in the Company's financial statements. The Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan has authorized the grant of options to employees for up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock. All options granted typically have 10 year terms and vest and become fully exercisable at the end of 4 years of continued employment. Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by Statement 123, which also requires that the information be determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994 under fair value method of that Statement. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the minimum value method for 1995 and the Black-Scholes option pricing model for 1996 with the following weighted-average assumptions for 1995 and 1996, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 6.0% and 5.75%; dividend yields of 0%; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 0.75 and 0.0; and a weighted-average expected life of the option of 1 and 4 years. The option valuation models were developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro forma information net income including compensation expense, net of tax of $1,074,000 and $878,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively, is as follows (in thousands except for earnings per share information): 1995 1996 - - --------------------------------------------- Pro forma net income $ 5,248 $ 8,350 Pro forma earnings per share: $ 0.29 $ 0.44 Because Statement 123 is applicable only to options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994, its pro forma effect will not be fully reflected until 1997. A summary of the Company's stock option activity, and related information for the years ended December 31, follows: 1995 1996 ----------------------------- ----------------------------- Weighted- Weighted- Average Average Options Exercise Options Exercise (in thousands) Price (in thousands) Price - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Outstanding-beginning of year 1,407 $0.32 1,789 $ 0.41 Granted 438 0.69 827 16.50 Exercised -- -- (917) 0.41 Forfeited (56) 0.28 (4) 5.25 - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Outstanding-end of year 1,789 $0.41 1,695 $ 8.38 ====== ====== Exercisable at end of year 1,789 $0.41 874 $ 8.38 Weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year $ 5.16 $16.71 29 30 NOTES TO COMBINED (1994 and 1995); CONSOLIDATED (1996) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following table summarizes information about fixed stock options outstanding as of December 31, 1996.

All employees over the age of 21 who have completed at least one-half year of service are eligible to participate. Each participant may elect to have amounts deducted from his or her compensation and contributed to the plan up to 15% of his or her base salary. All contributions are fully vested at the time the employee becomes an active participant. The Company also has a profit sharing plan. All employees over the age of 21 who have completed at least one-half year of service are eligible to participate. Contributions to the plan are at the discretion of the board of directors and are made to eligible employees' individual accounts in proportion to their base salary. Contribution expense related to the profit sharing plan for 1994, 1995 and 1996 was approximately $100,000, $238,000 and $250,000, respectively.

The 1996 current federal and state tax provisions do not reflect the tax savings of $6,669,000 resulting from deductions associated with the exercise of stock options by employees in 1996. This tax benefit has been included in additional capital in 1996. Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the net deferred tax liability are as follows (in thousands): December 31, 1995 1996 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accounts receivable allowances $ -- $ (197) Tax over book depreciation and amortization -- 363 Nondeductible accruals -- (782) Deferred licensing fees -- (3,820) State income taxes -- (339) Conversion from cash to accrual basis of accounting -- 8,612 Cash basis of accounting for income taxes 312 -- Other, net 14 -- - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net deferred tax liability $ 326 $ 3,837 ================================================================================ The additional taxable income resulting from the change from the cash to accrual basis of accounting for income taxes in 1996 will be reportable in taxable income over the year 1996 through 1999.
