1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The information at March 31, 2001 and 2000 and for the three and six
month periods then ended is unaudited, but includes all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring entries) which the Company's management believes to be
necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operations, and changes in cash flows for the periods presented. The
accompanying interim consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30,
2000. Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission rules
and regulations. Interim results of operations for the three and six month
periods ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of operating results
for the full fiscal year.

2.       STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

         In February 1998, the Company announced that it would be initiating a
stock repurchase program of up to $6,000 of common stock to use to meet
requirements of its employee stock option and stock purchase plans. No minimum
number or value of shares to be repurchased has been fixed nor has a time limit
as to the duration of the program been established.

         On October 29, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved a new
stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase an additional
$10,000 of common stock to use to meet requirements of its employee stock option
and stock purchase plan. No minimum number or value of shares to be repurchased
has been fixed for the new program nor has a time limit as to the duration of
the program been established.

         No shares were repurchased by the Company during the three and six
month periods ended March 31, 2001 under either of the repurchase plans. The
Company reissued 366,000 shares which had been purchased under the February 1998
Plan during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000 and 43,000 shares during
the three month period ended March 31, 2001.

4.   NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

    The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings per
Share." The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator of the
basic and diluted earnings per share computations shown in the Consolidated
Statement of Operations.

    As per generally accepted accounting principles, the computation of net loss
per share is based on the weighted average basic shares outstanding. The
computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six month
periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 is as follows:

    The difference between basic shares outstanding and dilutive shares
outstanding is the assumed conversion of common stock equivalents (stock
options) in the amounts of 14,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000.
There were no dilutive options for the three months ended March 31, 2001.

     Options to purchase 0 and 14,000 shares of common stock outstanding for the
three month period ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 respectively, and 32,000 and
160,000 shares for the six months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 respectively,
were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as the effect
of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

                             INFINIUM SOFTWARE, INC.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)
                                   (UNAUDITED)

6.       RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements, as amended by SAB 101A and SAB 101B, which is effective in the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001 for the Company. SAB 101 clarifies the
Securities and Exchange Commission's view regarding recognition of revenue. The
Company is currently evaluating the effects of this change but anticipates that
the adoption of SAB 101 will not have a material effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

         In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities -
a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125". SFAS No. 140 revises the standards for
accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and
collateral and requires certain disclosures, but it carries over most of SFAS
No. 125's provisions without reconsideration. This statement is effective for
transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities
occurring after March 31, 2001. This Statement is effective for recognition and
reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to securitized
transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. The
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 140 to have a material impact
on its financial position or results of operations.

7.       EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

         On October 4, 2000 the Company issued 200,000 options to purchase the
Company's stock to an executive of the Company at a price of $2.25 per share.
The difference between the market value and the exercise price of the options is
recorded as deferred stock compensation in the stockholders equity section of
the balance sheet and is amortized over the vesting period of two years. For the
three and six month periods ended March 31, 2001, the Company recorded $8 and
$24, respectively, of expense associated with this transaction.

8.       ISSUANCE OF RESTRICTED STOCK

         On January 10, 2001, the Company instituted a Stock Option Exchange
Program (the Program). Under the provisions of the program, employees were
allowed to exchange any of their stock options for shares of restricted stock on
January 31, 2001, in general, at a rate of three options for each share of
restricted stock. At January 31, 2001, the company issued approximately 179,000
shares and cancelled approximately 537,000 options. At the close of business on
January 31, 2001 the share price of the Company's stock was $2.13 per share. On
February 9, 2001, additional restricted stock grants of 225,000 shares were
awarded to executive management and an additional 16,000 and 10,000 restricted
stock grants were awarded to other employees on January 22, 2001 and March 12,
2001, respectively. The cost of the Program was $382 thousand, and the costs of
the additional restricted stock grants was $436 thousand for the awards to
executive management and $42 thousand for the awards to other employees. The
combined cost of these events approximates $860, which will be amortized over
the vesting period of the restricted stock grants, which range from 21 to 24
months. During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the Company recognized $35
thousand in expense for the Program, $36 thousand in expense for the grants to
executive management, and $3 thousand for the grants to other employees.

         REVENUE. Total revenue declined $3.1 million, or 14%, from $22.6
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 to $19.5 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2001. Software license fees decreased from $4.6 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 to 3.0 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2001. This decrease reflects a slowdown in the demand for back-office
applications. Service revenue, comprised of maintenance fee revenue, consulting
services revenue and revenue derived from ASP-related services, declined 8%,
from $18.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 to $16.5 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2001. This decrease was due primarily to a decrease in
demand for the Company's consulting service offerings due to lower software
license fees. The components of service revenue are as follows:

         COST OF SOFTWARE LICENSE FEES. Cost of software license fees consists
primarily of royalties on the sale of third party products, amortization expense
related to capitalized software and the cost of product media, manuals and
shipping. Cost of software license fees decreased 22%, from $1.6 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 to $1.2 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2001. This decrease in dollar amount is mainly due to a $87 thousand decrease in
third party royalties and a $165 thousand reduction in shipping and reproduction
costs combined with a $91 thousand decrease in capitalized software
amortization. Cost of software license fees as a percentage of software license
fee revenue increased from 35% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 to 41% for
the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

         COST OF SERVICES. Cost of services consists of costs to provide product
and technical support, consulting services and training services to licensees of
the Company's software products and costs related to the ASP line of business.
Cost of services decreased 25%, from $9.1 million, for the quarter ended March
31, 2000 to $6.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The decrease in
the dollar amount is due to a $612 thousand decrease in third party consulting
expenses and additional cost savings as a result of lower support levels due to
the termination of support for discontinued products. Cost of services as a
percentage of service revenue was 51% and 41% for the quarters ended March 31,
2000 and 2001, respectively.

         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses consist
primarily of engineering personnel, related facilities overhead, computer and
communications overhead, and third party contractor costs. Research and
development costs are reduced by capitalized software development costs and,
when applicable, research funding. Research and development expenses decreased
15% from $4.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 to $3.9 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Research and development expense as a
percentage of total revenue was 20% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 and 20%
for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. This decrease is due to personnel
reductions and general company wide cost rollback measures, partially offset by
a $220 thousand increase in capitalized software development costs.

         SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of
salaries, commissions, travel, promotional expenses, facilities and computers
and communications costs for direct sales offices. Sales and marketing expenses
decreased 17% from $9.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 to $7.6
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The decrease in sales and
marketing expense is due to lower commission expense due to lower sales volume
and lower marketing and sales costs due to a company wide emphasis on expense
reduction. Sales and marketing expense as a percentage of total revenue was 41%
and 39% for the second quarters of fiscal year 2000, and fiscal year 2001,
respectively.

         GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries of executive and administrative personnel as well as
provisions for doubtful accounts, insurance, investor relations and professional
service fees. General and administrative expenses decreased 7% from $3.1 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 to $2.9 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2001. General and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue
was 14% and 15% for the second quarters of fiscal year 2000 and fiscal year
2001, respectively. The decrease in dollar amount was primarily due to cost
savings associated with the Company's reduction in workforce which occurred in
the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2000.

         BENEFIT FROM INCOME TAXES. The provision for federal, state, and
foreign income tax for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 resulted in a tax
benefit of $1.5 million, representing an effective income tax benefit of 32% for
the quarter. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company established a
full valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets. This allowance was
established in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes, and accordingly, no tax benefits
were recognized in the Company's results for the second quarter of fiscal year
2001. The Company will continue to assess the valuation of the deferred tax
asset each quarter.

    REVENUE. Total revenue declined $4.2 million, or 9%, from $46.1 million for
the six months ended March 31, 2000 to $41.9 million for the six months ended
March 31, 2001. Software license fees declined $1.5 million from $8.3 million
for the six months ended March 31, 2000 to $6.8 million for the six months ended
March 31, 2001. The Company believes that this decrease reflects a slowdown in
the demand for back-office applications due to external economic conditions.
Service revenue, comprised of maintenance fee revenue, consulting services
revenue and revenue derived from ASP-related services, declined 7%, from $37.8
million for the six months ended March 31, 2000 to $35.1 million for the six
months ended March 31, 2001. This decrease was due primarily to a decrease in
demand for the Company's consulting service offerings due to lower software
license fees. In addition, $473 thousand of services revenue related to
discontinued products was recorded in the six months ended March 31, 2000. The
components of service revenue are as follows:

in third party royalties and a $362 thousand reduction in shipping and
reproduction costs combined with a $58 thousand decrease in capitalized software
amortization. Cost of software license fees as a percentage of software license
fee revenue increased from 38% for the six months ended March 31, 2000 to 39%

decrease in the dollar amount is due to lower third party consulting expenses of

levels due to the termination of support for discontinued products. Cost of
services as a percentage of service revenue was 47% and 40% for the six months
ended March 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.

         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses consist
primarily of engineering personnel, related facilities overhead, computer and
communications overhead, and third party contractor costs. Research and
development costs are reduced by capitalized software development costs and,
when applicable, research funding. Research and development expenses decreased
18% from $9.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2000 to $7.9 million
for the six months ended March 31, 2001. Research and development expense as a
percentage of total revenue was 21% for the six months ended March 31, 2000 and
19% for the six months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease in dollar amount is
due to a $456 thousand increase in capitalized software combined with a
reduction in personnel costs related to the Infinium Financials for Windows NT
and Infinium Human Resources for Windows NT products and the fact that the
Company is using fewer third party development contractors than in the previous
year.

         SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of
salaries, commissions, travel, promotional expenses, facilities and computers
and communications costs for direct sales offices. Sales and marketing expenses
decreased 8% from $17.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2000 to $16.2
million for the six months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease in sales and
marketing expense is due mainly to lower sales costs that occurred due to the
reduction in software sales that has occurred in fiscal year 2001. Also
contributing to the decrease is lower marketing costs as a result of Company
wide emphasis on cost reduction in fiscal year 2001. Sales and marketing expense
as a percentage of total revenue was 38% and 39% for the first six months of
fiscal year 2000, and fiscal year 2001, respectively.

         GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries of executive and administrative personnel as well as
provisions for doubtful accounts, insurance, investor relations and outside
professional fees. General and administrative expenses decreased 5% from $5.8
million for the six months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.5 million for the six
months ended March 31, 2001. General and administrative expense as a percentage
of total revenue was 13% for the first six months of fiscal year 2000 and fiscal
year 2001. The decrease in dollar amount was primarily due to cost savings
associated with the Company's reduction in workforce which occurred in the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2000.

         BENEFIT FROM INCOME TAXES. The provision for federal, state, and
foreign income tax for the six months ended March 31, 2000 resulted in a tax
benefit of $2.4 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 34% for
the six months ended March 31, 2000. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000,
the Company established a full valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets.
This allowance was established in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income


                                       14
   15
Taxes, and accordingly, no tax benefits were recognized in the Company's results
for the six months ended March 31, 2001. The Company will continue to assess the
valuation of the deferred tax asset each quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As of March 31, 2001, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities of $19.4 million resulting from a decrease of cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities of $1.3 million during the first six
months of fiscal year 2001. Operating activities provided $1.7 million, $1.7
million was used to fund capitalized software and $0.8 million was used for
purchases of property, computers and equipment.

         In July, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with a major
financial institution for a $3.0 million line of credit. At this time, no
borrowings are outstanding against this line of credit. This agreement is
subject to renewal on July 31, 2001.

         Days sales outstanding ("DSO") decreased to 34 days at March 31, 2001
compared to 58 days at September 30, 2000. The Company calculates DSO by
dividing the ending accounts receivable balance, net of allowance for doubtful
accounts, by the annualized revenue for the quarter, multiplied by 360. The
Company believes that this method of deriving DSO is indicative of actual
results due to the cyclical nature of software license and service transactions,
which are often consummated nearer the end of the quarter, as well as the
fluctuation of transactions from one quarter to the next. The decrease in DSO is
primarily due to increased collection efforts during the six months ended March
31, 2001.

         Deferred revenue decreased $6.7 million, from $36.7 million at
September 30, 2000 to $30.0 million at March 31, 2001. The decrease in deferred
revenue primarily resulted from a decrease in the deferred consulting services
component of revenue due to lower customer bookings during the first six months
of fiscal 2001.

         The Company believes that cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities on hand and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund its
operations at least through the second quarter of fiscal 2002. While operating
activities may provide cash in certain periods, to the extent the Company
experiences growth in the future, or in the event the Company uses cash in
excess of cash generated by operations, the Company anticipates that its
operating and investing activities may use cash, and consequently, such growth
may require the Company to obtain additional sources of financing.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements, as amended by SAB 101A and SAB 101B, which is effective in the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001. SAB 101 clarifies the Securities and
Exchange Commission's view regarding recognition of revenue. The Company is
currently evaluating the effects of this change but anticipates that the
adoption of SAB 101 will not have a material effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities - a replacement
of FASB Statement No. 125". SFAS No. 140 revises the standards for accounting
for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and
requires certain disclosures, but it carries over most of SFAS No. 125's
provisions without reconsideration. This statement is effective for transfers
and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring
after March 31, 2001. This Statement is effective for recognition and
reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to securitized
transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. The
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 140 to have a material impact
on its financial position or results of operations.

FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE PERFORMANCE

         The factors affecting the Company's future performance have not changed
significantly from those enumerated in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended September 30, 2000.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The following discussion about the Company's market risk involves
forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those
discussed in the forward-looking statements. The Company is exposed to market
risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or
trading purposes.

INTEREST RATE RISK

         The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates
primarily through its investing and borrowing activities. In addition, the
Company's ability to finance future acquisition transactions may be impacted if
the Company is unable to obtain appropriate financing at acceptable rates. The
Company's investing strategy to manage interest rate exposure is to invest in
short-term, highly liquid investments. The Company maintains a portfolio of
highly liquid cash equivalents and short-term investments (primarily in high
grade municipal notes). At March 31, 2001, the fair value of the Company's
short-term investments approximated market value.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

         The Company faces exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange
rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations. The Company does not use derivative
financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exposures or for trading.
Historically, the Company's primary exposures have been related to the
operations of its foreign subsidiaries. In the six month period ended March 31,
2001, the net impact of foreign currency changes was not material.
