Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains statements that are not historical facts. These statements are called "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. These statements involve important known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors and can be identified by phrases using "estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "project," "expect," "intend," "predict," "potential," "future," "may," "should" and similar expressions or words. The Company's future results, performance or achievements may differ materially from the results, performance or achievements discussed in the forward-looking statements. There are numerous factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in forward-looking statements, including:

Fluctuation in our quarterly revenues may adversely affect our operating results. In each fiscal quarter our expense levels, operating costs, and hiring plans are based on projections of future revenues and are relatively fixed. If our actual revenues fall below expectations, we could experience a reduction in operating results.

Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional expenses. Changing laws, regulations, and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and NASDAQ rules, are creating uncertainty for companies such as ours. The costs required to comply with such evolving laws are difficult to predict. To maintain high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure, we intend to invest all reasonably necessary resources to comply with evolving standards. This investment may result in an unforeseen increase in general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities, which may harm our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Increases in service revenue as a percentage of total revenues could decrease overall margins and adversely affect our operating results. We realize lower margins on software and appraisal service revenues than on license revenue. The majority of our contracts include both software licenses and professional services. Therefore, an increase in the percentage of software service and appraisal service revenue compared to license revenue could have a detrimental impact on our overall gross margins and could adversely affect operating results.

Selling products and services into the public sector poses unique challenges. We derive substantially all of our revenues from sales of software and services to county and city governments. We expect that sales to local governments will continue to account for substantially all of our revenues in the future. We face many risks and challenges associated with contracting with governmental entities.

Some of our present contracts are on a fixed-priced basis, which can lead to various risks, including:

 

The failure to accurately estimate the resources and time required for an engagement;

 

 

 

 

The failure to effectively manage governmental agencies' and other customers' expectations regarding the scope of services to be delivered for an estimated price; and

 

 

 

 

The failure to timely complete fixed-price engagements within budget to the customers' satisfaction.

We face significant competition from other vendors and potential new entrants into our markets. We face competition from a variety of software vendors that offer products and services similar to those offered by us, as well as from companies offering to develop custom software.

We must respond to rapid technological and legislative changes to be competitive. The market for our products is characterized by rapid technological and legislative change, evolving industry standards in computer hardware and software technology, changes in customer requirements, and frequent new product introductions and enhancements. The introduction of products embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable.

Our failure to properly manage growth could adversely affect our business. We intend to continue expansion into new markets, including California, in the foreseeable future to pursue existing and potential market opportunities. This growth places a significant demand on management and operational resources.

We may experience difficulties in executing our acquisition strategy. Although we believe our future focus will be on internal growth, we will continue to identify and pursue strategic acquisitions and alliances with suitable candidates. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to successfully integrate future acquisitions and other strategic alliances into our operations.

We may be unable to protect our proprietary rights. Many of our product and service offerings incorporate proprietary information, trade secrets, know-how, and other intellectual property rights. We rely on a combination of contracts, copyrights, and trade secret laws to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our technology. We cannot be certain that we have taken all appropriate steps to deter misappropriation of our intellectual property.

Our products are complex and we run the risk of errors or defects with new product introductions or enhancements. Although we have not experienced material adverse effects resulting from defects or errors to date, we cannot assure you that material defects and errors will not be found in the future. We maintain errors and omissions and general liability insurance, and we try to structure our contracts to include limitations on liability. However, we cannot assure you that a successful claim based on errors or defects could not be made or would not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Changes in the insurance markets may affect our ability to win some contract awards and may lead to increased expenses. Some of our customers, primarily those for our property appraisal services, require that we secure performance bonds before they will select us as their vendor. The number of qualified, high-rated insurance companies that offer performance bonds has decreased in recent years, while the costs associated with securing these bonds has increased dramatically.

This list provides examples of factors that could affect the results described by forward-looking statements contained in this Report. However, this list is not intended to be exhaustive; many other factors, including the risk factors disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2007, could impact our business and it is impossible to predict with any accuracy which factors could adversely affect the Company. Although we believe that the forward-looking statements contained in this Report are reasonable, we cannot provide you with any guarantee that the anticipated results will be achieved. All forward-looking statements in this Report are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this section and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this Report. In addition to the risks listed above, other risks may arise in the future, and we disclaim any obligation to update information contained in any forward-looking statement.

MANATRON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_________________________

(1)          GENERAL INFORMATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared by Manatron, Inc. ("Manatron" or the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2007, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 18, 2007.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly (a) the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2007, (b) the results of its operations for the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, and (c) the cash flows for the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006. The balance sheet as of April 30, 2007 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

The Company enters into contracts with customers to license or sell application software; third party software; hardware; forms and supplies; and professional services, such as installation, training, data conversions, post-contract support and maintenance ("PCS") services, consulting and various appraisal services.

The Company recognizes revenue for contracts with multiple element software arrangements in accordance with Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition," as amended. The Company allocates the total arrangement fee among each deliverable based on the relative fair value of each of the deliverables, determined based on vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE"). When discounts are offered in a software arrangement, the Company utilizes the residual method, as defined in SOP 97-2, and allocates revenue to the undelivered elements based on VSOE. The discount and remaining revenue are allocated to the delivered elements, which typically encompass the software and hardware components of the contract.

Certain of the Company's software arrangements involve "off-the-shelf" software and services that are not considered essential to the functionality of the software. For these arrangements, software revenue is recognized when the installation has occurred, customer acceptance is reasonably assured, the sales price represents an enforceable claim and is probable of collection, and the remaining services such as training and installation are considered nominal. Fees

allocable to services under these arrangements are recognized as revenue as the services are performed. It is not the Company's practice and not typical for the Company to offer price concessions. On the contrary, the Company collects under the original terms of its contracts in substantially all cases. Therefore, the Company believes its fees are fixed and determinable.

Revenue related to sales of computer hardware and supplies is recognized when title passes, which is normally the shipping or installation date.

PCS includes telephone support, bug fixes, enhancements and rights to upgrades on a when-and-if available basis. These support and maintenance fees are typically billed in advance on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis and are recognized as revenue ratably over the related contract periods.

Billings for future services, as reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, includes PCS and other services that have been billed to the customer in advance of performance. It also includes customer deposits on new contracts and other progress billings for software and hardware that have not been completely installed.

For arrangements that include significant customization or modification of the software, or where software services are otherwise considered essential, or for software that is not generally available, revenue is recognized using contract accounting. Revenue from these arrangements is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method with progress-to-completion measured based primarily upon labor hours incurred or units completed. Revenue earned is based on the progress-to-completion percentage after giving effect to the most recent estimates of total cost. Changes to total estimated contract costs, if any, are recognized in the period they are determined. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. The reserves for contract losses, as well as billed retainages outstanding associated with revenue that has been recognized, were approximately $393,000 and $663,000 as of July 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

For its real estate appraisal services projects, the Company recognizes revenue using the proportional performance method because the Company believes each of its projects result in one ultimate deliverable - the appraised values of all properties defined within a given contract, as well as the fact that many of these projects are implemented over a one- to three-year period and consist of various activities. Under this method of revenue recognition, the Company identifies each activity for the appraisal services project with a typical project generally calling for planning, data collection, data verification, data input, project management, abstracts and hearings. The costs for these activities are estimated and the total contract value is then allocated to each activity based on the proportion of the budgeted cost for a given activity divided by the total budgeted cost for a project. Revenue recognition occurs for each activity based upon the proportional performance method, driven primarily by output measures such as parcels or hearings complete. Actual costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.

MANATRON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
_________________________

(1)          GENERAL INFORMATION (continued)

Since the timing of billings does not always coincide with revenue recognition, the Company reflects Revenues Earned in Excess of Billings and Retainages, as well as Billings in Excess of Revenues for contracts in process at the end of the reporting period, as reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Due to the appropriation requirements of governmental units, the Company will very seldom have a collection issue due to a shortage or lack of funds, such as bankruptcy. As a result, the Company's past due receivables primarily revolve around issues in which the customer does not feel that the software operates to its expectations. In the majority of these cases there is a gap between what the customer expects and what the Company is obligated to deliver per its contract. Accordingly, reserves against Accounts Receivable and reserves against Revenues Earned in Excess of Billings and Retainages are established based on the Company's collection history and other known risks associated with the related contracts. These reserves contain a general provision of 2% as well as a specific provision for accounts the Company believes will be difficult to collect.

The Company's contracts do not typically contain a right of return or cancellation. Accordingly, as of July 31, 2007 and 2006, the reserve for returns was not material.

Notes receivable result from certain software contracts in which customers pay for the application software, hardware or related services over an extended period of time, generally three to five years. Interest on these notes range from 8% to 10%. The Company recognizes revenue for these contracts when the related elements are delivered, as the contract terms are fixed and determinable and the Company has a longstanding history of collecting on the notes under the original payment terms without providing concessions.

Certain of the Company's contracts with customers include lease terms that meet the criteria of sales type leases as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 13, "Accounting for Leases." However, the Company's leasing activities are not a material part of its business activities and, accordingly, are not broken out separately in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No.

(1)          GENERAL INFORMATION (continued)

109 ("FIN 48"), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. Under FIN 48, the tax effects of a position should be recognized only if it is "more likely than not" to be sustained solely on its technical merits as of the reporting date. FIN 48 also requires significant new annual disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. The effects of adjustments at adoption should be recorded directly to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption and reported as a change in accounting principle. Retroactive application is prohibited under FIN 48. The guidance in FIN 48 was required to be applied in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. As such the Company implemented FIN 48 effective May 1, 2007. There was no significant impact as a result of this implementation as the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits. For the majority of tax jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to US Federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2004. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. However, as of July 31, 2007, the Company had no accrual or provision associated with interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). This new standard establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This framework is intended to provide increased consistency in how fair value determinations are made under various existing accounting standards which permit, or in some cases require, estimates of fair market value. SFAS 157 also expands financial statement disclosure requirements about a company's use of fair value measurements, including the effect of such measures on earnings. The Company is required to adopt this new accounting guidance at the beginning of fiscal 2009. While the Company is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS 157, the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 expands the use of fair value measurement by permitting entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 159 at the beginning of fiscal 2009 and is in the process of evaluating the applicability and potential impact to its consolidated financial statements.

(2)          STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Effective May 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123(R)") using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under SFAS 123(R) a public entity is required to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award, with such cost recognized over the applicable vesting period. In addition, SFAS 123(R) requires an entity to provide certain disclosures in order to assist in understanding the nature of share-based payment transactions and the effects of those transactions on the financial statements.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding as of July 31, 2007 is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the market price of the Company's common stock for options that were in-the-money as of that date. Options that were not in-the-money as of that date, and therefore have a negative intrinsic value, have been excluded from this figure. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended July 31, 2007 was $90,000.

Cash received from option exercises and share issuances under the Stock Purchase Plan was $131,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2007.

The Company has a number of stock plans that include restricted stock or stock options that were developed to assist the Company in attracting, rewarding, and retaining well-qualified directors, executive personnel, and other key employees. The Compensation Committee, a sub-committee of the Board of Directors, has the authority to approve restricted stock grants as well as the vesting schedule. Shares of restricted stock granted to employees typically vest over a three- to five-year period. When shares are granted, the related expense was previously reflected as deferred compensation in shareholders' equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. However, with the implementation of SFAS 123(R) these amounts, which equated to approximately $855,000 at July 31, 2007, have been reclassified and are now included within the common stock caption in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The related compensation expense is still being amortized to expense over the applicable vesting periods.

(4)          ACQUISITIONS

Effective February 1, 2006, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of ASIX Inc. ("ASIX"). The purchase price for ASIX was approximately $11 million consisting of $4.2 million in cash, 436,500 shares of Manatron common stock and $3.8 million in promissory notes bearing interest at 5% with $2.2 million, $1.2 million, $200,000 and $200,000 due on February 1, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The stock purchase agreement also contains an earn-out provision of up to $1 million if certain revenue thresholds are met in the California market from February 1, 2006 through January 31, 2012, which would be recorded as additional goodwill, if paid.

The excess of the purchase price over the net book value of assets acquired of $8.6 million was allocated to goodwill and intangible assets. Specifically, $1,224,000 was allocated to customer relationships, $683,000 was allocated to purchased technology and $131,000 to trademarks, all of which will be amortized over a five-year period. The remaining $6.6 million has been allocated to goodwill.

Founded in 1991, ASIX designed, developed and marketed Ascend, a comprehensive client/server-based assessment administration and property tax billing and collection system that was installed in 16 counties in Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, Oregon and Washington at its time of acquisition. ASIX also provided professional services including installation, training, project management, data conversions and on-going support in connection with sales of its property tax software.

This acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The operating results of ASIX have been included in the Company's results of operations from the date of acquisition.

(5)          CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND GUARANTEES

The Company is periodically a party, both as plaintiff and defendant, to lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business. The Company does not believe that the liabilities resulting from these proceedings, if any, would be material to the Company's financial position or results of operations.

The Company may provide its customers up to a one-year warranty on its internally developed application software; however, warranty expenses are not and have not been significant.

The Company is periodically required to obtain bid and performance bonds to provide certain assurances to current and prospective customers regarding its ability to fulfill contractual obligations. The Company has agreed to indemnify the surety for any and all claims made against the bonds. Historically, the Company has not had any claims for indemnity from its surety. As of July 31, 2007, the Company had approximately $31.5 million in outstanding performance bonds, which are anticipated to expire at various times over the next three years.

The Company utilizes subcontractors at times to help complete contractual obligations; however, the Company is still ultimately responsible for the performance of the subcontractors.

(6)          SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On August 1, 2007, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Sigma Systems Technology, Inc. ("Sigma") and assumed the obligations of its current software maintenance contracts. The total purchase price was approximately $1.3 million, of which $1.2 million was placed into escrow on July 31, 2007.

Founded in 1983, Sigma has developed and marketed Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) software, as well as a number of data management tools for real and personal property valuation. Sigma serves more than 25 government jurisdictions in the United States, Canada, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and South Africa. Sigma's revenues from software license fees and services were approximately $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, of which approximately $450,000 was from recurring software maintenance.

On September 1, 2007, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities associated with the Records Management Solutions Business of Hart InterCivic, Inc. ("Hart") for approximately $4.8 million. Hart provides document management and workflow automation through its suite of records management applications tailored for the County Recorder's office. Hart's A2 software product, built on the Microsoft.NET Framework, serves as the County Recorder's "enterprise" system, handling all main functions contained in a typical document recording workflow.

Item 2.

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

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim periods. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to receivable allowances, long-term service contracts, intangible assets, contingencies and litigation. As these are condensed consolidated financial statements, reference should be made to the Company's Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended April 30, 2007, for expanded information about the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates.

Results of Operations

The Company's business is focused on providing software and services to enable state and local governments in North America to completely, fairly and efficiently assess real and personal property, and to bill and collect the related property taxes in their jurisdictions. The Company's software manages the entire property life cycle, which includes deed recording, land records, GIS integration, valuation, assessment administration, personal property, business licenses, cashiering, tax billing and collection, delinquent and tax sales and e-government.

The Company's revenues are generated from software license fees, software maintenance fees, professional services and sales of hardware, forms and supplies. Professional services consist of data conversions, installation, training, project management, hardware maintenance, forms processing and printing, consulting and appraisal services.

For simplicity purposes, many of the numbers described below are rounded; however, the percentage variations are based upon the actual amounts.


-15-


Total net revenues of $10.4 million for the three months ended July 31, 2007 decreased by $372,000 or 3.5% from the $10.7 million reported for the three months ended July 31, 2006. This decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in appraisal professional services, partially offset by an increase in application license fees and software maintenance revenue. Excluding appraisal services revenues, the Company's revenues increased by 11.1% for the current quarter versus the comparable prior year quarter.

Revenue associated with appraisal professional services has decreased by $1.3 million from $2.0 million to $717,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Appraisal services revenue continues to be soft and the Company expects this trend to continue. While the revenue is down, the projects the Company undertakes continue to be executed with reasonable margins, as the Company continues to aggressively manage the cost structure. The appraisal services market is becoming more saturated, and as such the price points are reducing. The Company expects to pursue only those projects that allow appropriate margins to be attained.

Software license fees increased by $504,000 or 49.9% for the three months ended July 31, 2007 versus the three months ended July 31, 2006, from $1.0 million to $1.5 million. This increase was driven by the continued GRM® implementation activity and implementations within the Company's core Ohio market. The Company took the City of Virginia Beach live on GRM Tax during July 2007. The Company now has GRM Tax live and operational on the same line of code in the following four states: Alaska, Georgia, Idaho and Virginia. In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company signed its second GRM contract within Virginia, with the City of Roanoke for approximately $500,000.

The GRM suite of software is a feature-rich, fully-integrated enterprise-level solution that has enabled the Company's clients to not only replace their legacy systems, but to realize significant efficiencies and cost savings, provide more and modern services to their constituents and, in most cases, to collect additional tax revenues, which will more than offset the cost of the GRM system. The rollout of this new, next generation national product has been a key pillar in the Company's growth strategy. It is providing a competitive edge in the market as few, if any other, companies currently have a similar product suite. Historically, the Company had unique tax products for each state that it did business in. This required separate sales, marketing, development, and support initiatives. The Company expects to realize significant cost savings and economies of scale as it continues to market and implement GRM.

Although, the Company has experienced a reduction in appraisal activity in Ohio, this has had no impact on the sale and implementation of software. Implementations of CAMA and Tax software within Ohio were very strong for the three months ended July 31, 2007 and are anticipated to continue to be very positive for the remainder of fiscal 2008.

Recurring software maintenance fees increased by $494,000 or 11.4% to $4.8 million for the three months ended July 31, 2007 over the prior year comparable period. This increase was driven by two factors. First, annual price increases took effect, which averaged 7% for the Company over the prior year levels. Second, new maintenance agreements have begun on several GRM and core market implementations which have gone live since the first quarter of the prior fiscal year.


-16-


Software license fees and professional services revenues can vary significantly from quarter to quarter or year to year, as they are primarily driven by the Company's backlog, new sales and the timing of the related software implementations. In addition, many of the larger and more complex jurisdictions, which the Company is now able to pursue due to its new product and business strategy, often take more than a year to fully implement and a number of these contracts are accounted for using the percentage of completion method, which results in the license revenues being recognized over the implementation period.

As of July 31, 2007, the Company's backlog was $19.3 million compared to $17.3 million at July 31, 2006. However, the amounts for both periods include $2.8 million contracted with Unisys, related primarily with the second phase of the project with the City of Baltimore that the Company believes may not be realized in the future. The $2.0 million backlog increase is primarily due to a higher level of signed contracts during the twelve months ended July 31, 2007 which equated to $20.3 million in comparison to the $18.3 million in sales received for the twelve months ended July 31, 2006.

These backlog amounts are exclusive of the Company's recurring revenue from software maintenance, hardware maintenance and printing and processing contracts, which currently stands at approximately $22 million on an annualized basis.

Cost of revenues decreased by $667,000 or 11.0% from $6.1 million to $5.4 million for the three months ended July 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended July 31, 2006. This reduction was almost entirely driven by a decrease in outsourced labor. Outsourced labor decreased by $651,000 or 48.0% from $1.4 million for the three months ended July 31, 2006 to $706,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2007. The prior year first quarter included $352,000 of outsourced labor associated with the City of Baltimore implementation while the current quarter had none. The Company has not incurred any additional expense associated with this project since the first quarter of the prior fiscal year.

An additional $180,000 reduction in outsourced labor is due to a reduction in outsourced consulting services. The remaining decrease has resulted from the completion of various projects in which the Company required third party assistance as well as the Company's focus to execute new contractual obligations with internal resources.

The Company's gross margins have increased to 47.7% for the three months ended July 31, 2007 compared to 43.3% for the prior year first quarter. The margin improvement is due to a favorable change in the mix of revenues with more license fees as well as the Company's efforts to reduce costs, specifically outsourced labor. The Company believes the current three month margin is representative of the margins that will be reported for the balance of fiscal 2008.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $211,000 or 4.6% to $4.4 million for the three months ended July 31, 2007 from $4.6 million for the three months ended July 31, 2006. This decrease is primarily associated with reduced labor costs that have occurred since July 31, 2006 within the Company's sales and administrative organizations as well as the reallocation of individuals from administrative roles to billable project activities.


-17-


As a result of the factors noted above, the Company's operating income increased by $506,000 to $566,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2007.

Net other income increased by $54,000 to $78,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2007. These amounts primarily consist of interest earned on the Company's cash balances and rental income on a portion of the Company's office space offset by interest expense. The increase from the prior year is due to decreased interest expense associated with seller financed notes on the Company's acquisitions as the Company made significant payments on these notes during the last 12 months.

The Company's provision for income taxes generally fluctuates with the level of pretax income. The effective tax rate was 38% for the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, which is comprised of 34% for federal taxes and 4% for various state taxes. The Company anticipates that the effective rate for the balance of fiscal year 2008 will remain at approximately 38%.

The Company reported net income of $397,500 or $0.08 per diluted share for the three months ended July 31, 2007 versus net income of $51,541 or $0.01 per diluted share for the three months ended July 31, 2006.

Diluted weighted average outstanding common shares increased by approximately 169,000 shares for the three months ended July 31, 2007 over the prior year comparable period. This increase was primarily due to issuances under the Company's various stock plans.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

At July 31, 2007, the Company had working capital of $5.9 million compared to $5.3 million at April 30, 2007. These levels reflect current ratios of 1.38 and 1.35, respectively. The improvement in working capital is directly related to the Company's improved operating results.

Shareholders' equity at July 31, 2007 increased by $682,000 to $25.2 million from the balance reported at April 30, 2006 as a result of $397,500 of net income for the three months ended July 31, 2007 as well as $131,000 of employee stock purchases and $182,000 of deferred stock compensation expense. These increases were slightly offset by $29,000 of Company stock that was repurchased from certain executives to cover the tax consequences of restricted stock vesting. Book value per share has increased to $4.93 as of July 31, 2007 from $4.82 at April 30, 2007. Book value per share is calculated by dividing total shareholders' equity by total shares outstanding at the end of each respective period.

Net capital expenditures increased slightly by $13,000 to $121,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2007. Current and prior year capital expenditures primarily relate to purchases or upgrades of computer hardware and software used by the Company's development and support personnel.

The Company has continued to invest significantly in its new GRM software suite, as well as software products in its core markets of Florida, Indiana and Ohio. Total research and development costs included in expense were $1.7 million for the three months ended July 31, 2007 compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended July 31, 2006. These amounts include

-18-


$329,000 and $408,000 of software amortization expense for the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Software amortization expense is included in cost of revenues. In addition, the Company capitalized approximately $703,000 of software costs in accordance with FASB Statement No. 86 for the three months ended July 31, 2007 compared to $456,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2006.

The Company has applied for patents on its iFramework tool, which provides a shared technical platform for all Manatron software in the suite and is being built on Microsoft's .NET framework. A major goal is to produce a feature-rich suite of software that can be deployed across the Company's entire client-base and into new geography. The Company has proven that this can be done with its CAMA software as it is running in approximately 300 jurisdictions in over 20 states. Manatron's GRM system is currently live in Gwinnett County, Georgia; Canyon County, Idaho; Kootenai County, Idaho; Payette County, Idaho; Washington County Idaho; Kenai Borough, Alaska; and the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia. Manatron GRM implementations are underway in Bonneville County, Idaho; Sedgwick County, Kansas; Wyandotte County, Kansas; Boone County, Kentucky; the State of Minnesota; Washoe County, Nevada; Beaufort County, South Carolina; Horry County, South Carolina; Oconee County, South Carolina; Orangeburg County, South Carolina; Williamson County, Tennessee; and the City of Roanoke, Virginia. The iFramework toolset allows the software to be more easily modified to include additional states as the Company enters new markets.

Since the Company's revenues are generated from contracts with local governmental entities, it is not uncommon for certain of its accounts receivable to remain outstanding for approximately three to four months, thereby having a negative impact upon cash flow.

Effective June 29, 2006, the Company amended its Credit Agreement with Comerica Bank. The amendment provided the Company with a line of credit up to $10 million through April 1, 2007, after which point the amount available was reduced to $8 million. In addition, the Company's debt covenants were revised to account for its financial structure subsequent to the ASIX acquisition which occurred on February 1, 2006. As of July 31, 2007, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under this credit agreement and was in compliance with its covenants. This Agreement terminates in August 2008.

The Company anticipates that its line of credit, together with its existing cash of approximately $5.1 million and cash generated from future operations will be sufficient for the Company to meet its working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.

The Company has executed several seller financed notes payable in connection with its recent acquisitions with the following maturities outstanding at July 31, 2007:

On October 5, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $1 million of the Company's common stock over the subsequent 12 months. The Company did not repurchase any shares under this program during the three months ended July 31, 2007.

The Company cannot precisely determine the effect of inflation on its business. The Company continues, however, to experience relatively stable costs for its inventory, as the computer hardware market is very competitive. Inflationary price increases related to labor and overhead will have a negative effect on the Company's cash flow and net income to the extent that they cannot be offset through improved productivity and price increases.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.


Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company's primary market risk exposure is a potential change in interest rates in connection with its outstanding line of credit. As of July 31, 2007, there were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit. However, the Company does have the ability to draw on this line of credit, which could result in a potential interest rate risk. Based on the Company's historical borrowings, a change of 1% in interest rates would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position. The Company does not enter into market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.

The Company does not believe that there has been a material change in the nature or categories of the primary market risk exposures, or the particular markets that present the primary risk of loss to the Company. As of the date of this report, the Company does not know of or expect any material changes in the general nature of its primary market risk exposure in the near term. In this discussion, "near term" means a period of one year following the date of the most recent balance sheet contained in this report.

Prevailing interest rates and interest rate relationships are primarily determined by market factors that are beyond the Company's control. All information provided in response to this item consists of forward-looking statements. Reference is made to the section captioned "Forward-Looking Statements" before Part I of this report for a discussion of the limitations on the registrant's responsibility for such statements.


Item 4.

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer and

Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on such evaluation, the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

These shares are the result of stock repurchases associated with the sale of shares by certain executive officers to cover the tax implications of restricted stock vestings and are therefore not part of the Company's stock repurchase program discussed previously and do not impact the value of shares that may yet be purchased under the program.
