accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information, the general instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three month period ended June 30, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended March 31, 1998, which include audited financial statements for the
year ended March 31, 1998.


2.       SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

At June 30, 1998, the Company held certain short-term investments in marketable
debt and equity securities which it classified as held-to-maturity.
Held-to-maturity securities represent those securities that the Company has both
the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, and are carried at
amortized cost. Securities with a maturity date within one year are classified
as short-term investments as a part of Current Assets and are stated at fair
value plus accrued interest. Net unrealized losses on held-to-maturity
securities have not been recognized in the accompanying financial statements.
There were no realized gains or losses for the three month period ended June 30,
1998.


3        INVENTORIES

Inventories consist principally of computer software media and related shipping
supplies and are stated at the lower of specific cost or market. Cost is
determined using the first-in, first-out method.

The components of inventory are summarized as follows (in thousands):

4.       INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Net diluted income per common share is computed by dividing net income
applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of outstanding shares
of common stock during the applicable periods. Common stock equivalents
consisting of the Company's stock options and warrants are included in the
calculation of diluted net income per common share if their effect is dilutive.


5.       LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On April 25, 1996, a class action lawsuit in Fulton County Superior Court in
Atlanta, Georgia was filed against the Company and certain of its then officers
and directors. The complaint alleges violations of sections 11, 12(2) and 15 of
the Securities Act of 1933, violations of the Georgia Securities Act and
negligent misrepresentation arising out of alleged disclosure deficiencies in
connection with the Company's initial public offering, which was completed on
November 10, 1995. The complaint seeks compensatory damages and reimbursements
for plaintiff's fees and expenses. A motion to dismiss is pending and the
Company and its officers and directors are vigorously defending against the
allegations.


6.       SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit and highly liquid
investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash payments for
the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 include interest of approximately
$0 and $3,300, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS 
OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The following information should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto and in conjunction with Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998.

A.D.A.M. Software, Inc. ("A.D.A.M." or the "Company") creates, publishes and
markets educational multimedia software products, services, content and
Internet-ready applications that provide anatomical, medical, scientific and
health-related information for the academic, consumer and healthcare markets.
A.D.A.M. products incorporate internally developed, original medical
illustrations with text, audio, photography, animation and video in easy-to-use,
interactive software applications.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES. Total net revenues increased 1% to $1,748,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 compared to $1,737,000 for the three months ended June
30,1997. Revenue from the domestic education market increased approximately 10%
to $1,187,000, comprising approximately 68% of total revenue for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $1,077,000 or 62% of total revenue for
the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increased revenue from the domestic
education market is mainly the result of higher revenues per unit for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 compared to lower per unit revenues from upgrade
sales of the newly released flagship education product during the three months
ended June 30, 1997. International market and consumer market sales decreased
61% and 50% to $96,000 and $86,000, respectively, for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 compared to $244,000 and $170,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1997. The decreases in international and consumer market sales were
partially offset by increased sales to professional markets (legal, healthcare,
and licensing markets) totaling $402,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1998 compared to $18,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997.

COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues increased 40% to $341,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 from $243,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1997 due to increases in royalty expenses attributable to increased sales of the
ADAM Interactive Physiology products, increased amortization of software
development costs, and increased component costs for the first quarter of fiscal
1999. Amortization of capitalized software development costs increased 121% to
$124,000 compared to $56,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 due to the
completion and release of products throughout fiscal 1998. Shipped product
component costs increased 41% to $106,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1998 compared to $75,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 due to
increased per unit costs of the Company's education flagship product during the
three months ended June 30, 1998 and also due to a reduction of sales return
reserves for the three months ended June 30, 1997 related to the Company
outsourcing its consumer product distribution with Mindscape, Inc. As a
percentage of total net revenues, cost of revenues increased to 20% for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 from 14% for the three months ended June 30,
1997.

SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 4% to $738,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $766,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997. Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 included significant 


                                       8

expenses to launch the Company's newly released academic flagship product, ADAM
Interactive Anatomy. In addition, compensation expenses for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 are lower as a result of the Company's restructuring plan
implemented in September 1996. These expense reductions for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 were partially offset by approximately $78,000 in costs
associated with the Company's increased focus the healthcare market and the
licensing of its products. As a percentage of total net revenues, sales and
marketing expenses decreased to 42% for the three months ended June 30, 1998
compared to 44% for the three months ended June 30, 1997.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT. Product development expenses decreased 5% to $355,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1998 from $375,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1997. Total capitalization of software development costs remain
unchanged at $139,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998
compared to $140,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and other product
development expenses have not materially changed due to consistent investment,
cost control, and development of new products. As a percentage of total net
revenues, product development expenses decreased to 20% for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 compared to 22% for the three months ended June 30, 1997.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses decreased 25% to
$221,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 from $295,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 primarily due to compensation related adjustments.
As a percentage of total net revenues, general and administrative expenses 
decreased to 13% for the three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to 17% for 
the three months ended June 30, 1998.

As a result of the factors described above, operating income increased $35,000
to $93,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $58,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1997.

The Company had net income of $208,000 or 4 cents per share for the three months
ended June 30, 1998, compared with net income of $198,000 or 4 cents per share
for the three months ended June 30, 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 1998, the Company had cash and short-term investments of
$7,817,000 and working capital of $9,091,000.

The Company uses its working capital to finance ongoing operations, fund the
development and introduction of new products and acquire capital equipment. As
of June 30, 1998 the Company had repurchased 634,050 shares of common stock on
the open market for an average price of approximately $2.41 per common share for
an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1,529,000. Repurchased shares
represent approximately 12% of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding
as of June 30, 1998. The Company has been authorized by its Board of Directors
to purchase up to 25% of the common shares issued and outstanding.

The Company expects that cash flows from operations and existing cash and
short-term investments will be adequate to meet the Company's cash requirements,
including its stock repurchase plans, for the short and long term, i.e. twelve
months or less and one to two years, respectively.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Company believes that all of its internal management information systems are
currently Year 2000 compliant and, accordingly, does not anticipate any
significant expenditures to remediate or replace existing internal-use systems.
Although most of the Company's products are Year 2000 compliant, two products
acquired by the Company from Mosby, Inc. during fiscal 1998 are not Year 2000
compliant. The Company is currently developing and testing solutions for its
non-compliant products and currently estimates that all of these products will
be Year 2000 compliant by mid-1999 at an estimated aggregate cost of
approximately $25,000, including both remediation and testing costs.
Substantially all of the software used by the Company to process internal
records and to support its operations are obtained from third party vendors.
These vendors have either communicated that their software is Year 2000
compliant or that non-compliant software will be made Year 2000 compliant under
maintenance contracts. Costs to make any third-party software Year 2000
compliant should not have a material impact on Company. However, any unexpected
difficulties in achieving Year 2000 compliance for the A.D.A.M. products or
third-party products could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.
