Exhibit 99



MAPICS, INC.



Stock Option Disclosures



At September 30, 2003, we had stock options or shares of common stock outstanding under eight stock option plans and an employee stock purchase plan,
described below.



The 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The
MAPICS, Inc. 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan, or 1998 LTIP, allows us to issue up to 4,500,000 shares of common stock through various stock-based awards to our directors, officers, employees and consultants, including an additional 1,500,000 shares
authorized in fiscal 2000 and an additional 1,000,000 shares authorized in fiscal 2002. The stock-based awards can be in the form of (a) incentive stock options, or ISOs, or non-qualified stock options; (b) stock appreciation rights; (c) performance
units; (d) restricted stock; (e) dividend equivalents; and (f) other stock based awards. In general, the exercise price specified in the agreement relating to each ISO granted under the 1998 LTIP is required to be not less than the fair market value
of the common stock as of the date of grant.



During fiscal
2001, fiscal 2002, and fiscal 2003, we granted 94,000, 3,610, and 230,000 shares of restricted stock to some of our employees under the 1998 LTIP. Restricted stock are shares of common stock that we granted outright without cost to the employee. The
shares, however, are restricted in that they may not be sold or otherwise transferred by the employee until they vest, generally after the end of three years. If the employee is terminated prior to the vesting date for any reason other than death or
retirement, the restricted stock generally will be forfeited and the restricted stock will be returned to us. After the shares have vested, they become unrestricted and may be transferred and sold like any other shares of common stock.



The Directors Plan. The MAPICS, Inc. 1998 Non-Employee Director
Stock Option Plan allows us to issue non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 460,000 shares of common stock to eligible members of the board of directors who are neither our employees nor our officers, including an additional 150,000 shares
authorized in fiscal 2002. In general, the exercise price specified in the agreement relating to each non-qualified stock option granted under the Directors Plan is required to be the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant.
Subject to specific provisions, stock options granted under the Directors Plan become exercisable in various increments over a period of one to four years, provided that the optionee has continuously served as a member of the board of directors
through the vesting date. The stock options granted under the Directors Plan expire ten years from the date of grant.



The Directors Incentive Plan. The 1998 Non-Employee Directors Stock Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of common stock, deferred rights to
receive common stock and non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 160,000 shares of common stock to eligible members of the board of directors who are neither our employees nor our officers, including an additional 100,000 shares authorized in
fiscal 2002. During fiscal 2001, fiscal 2002, and fiscal 2003, we issued 12,033, 7,751 and 11,884 shares of common stock under the Directors Incentive Plan.



The 1987 Plan. Prior to its expiration on December 31, 1996, the Marcam Corporation 1987 Stock Plan allowed us to grant ISOs to our employees and
non-qualified stock options and stock awards to our officers, employees and consultants. In general, the exercise price specified in the agreement relating to each ISO granted under the 1987 Plan was required to be not less than the fair market
value of the common stock as of the date of grant. Subject to specific provisions, stock options granted under the 1987 Plan were fully exercisable on the date of grant or became exercisable thereafter in installments specified by the board of
directors. The stock options granted under the 1987 Plan expire on dates specified by the board of directors not to exceed a period of ten years from the date of grant.



The 1994 Plan. Prior to its discontinuation in February 1998, the Marcam Corporation 1994 Stock Plan allowed us to
grant ISOs to our employees and non-qualified stock options and stock awards to our officers, employees and consultants. In general, the exercise price specified in the agreement relating to each ISO granted under the 1994 Plan was required to be
not less than the fair market value of the common stock as of the date of grant. The 1994 Plan required non-qualified stock options to be granted with an exercise price that was not less than the minimum legal consideration required under applicable
state law. Subject to specific provisions, stock options granted under the 1994 Plan were fully exercisable on the date of grant or became exercisable after the date of grant in installments specified by the board of directors. The stock options
granted under the 1994 Plan expire on dates specified by the board of directors not to exceed a period of ten years from the date of grant.

The 1992 Plan.The Frontstep Amended and Restated Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for Key
Employees was approved on February 18, 2003 in connection with the acquisition of Frontstep. The 1992 Plan provides that we are authorized to issue 238,974 shares of common stock to holders of options under a prior Frontstep plan. The options of the
original Frontstep plan were converted based on the same conversion ratio used for the exchange of Frontstep stock into MAPICS common stock. No additional options will be granted under the 1992 Plan. Substantially all of the options under the 1992
Plan are fully vested and expire on the original scheduled expiration date or 90 days after the employee is no longer employed by us. Upon the surrender of the options, they are no longer available for reissuance.



The 1999 Plan.The Frontstep Second Amended and Restated 1999
Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for Key Employees was approved on February 18, 2003 in connection with the acquisition of Frontstep. The 1999 Plan provides that we are authorized to issue 182,945 shares of common stock to holders of options under a
prior Frontstep plan. The options of the original Frontstep plan were converted based on the same conversion ratio used for the exchange of Frontstep stock into MAPICS common stock. No additional options will be granted under the 1999 Plan. All
options under the 1999 Plan are fully vested and expire on the original scheduled expiration date or 90 days after the employee is no longer employed by us. Upon the surrender of the options, they are no longer available for reissuance.



The Executive Plan.The Symix Non-Qualified Stock Options Plan for
Key Executives was approved on February 18, 2003 in connection with the acquisition of Frontstep. The Executive Plan provides that we are authorized to issue 120,339 shares of common stock to holders of options under a prior Frontstep plan. The
options of the original Frontstep plan were converted based on the same conversion ratio used for the exchange of Frontstep stock into MAPICS common stock. No additional options will be granted under the Executive Plan. All options under the
Executive Plan are fully vested and expire on the original scheduled expiration date or 90 days after the employee is no longer employed by us. Upon the surrender of the options, they are no longer available for reissuance. During fiscal 2003, all
of these options expired unexercised and were cancelled.



The 2000 ESPP. The MAPICS, Inc. 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or 2000 ESPP, was approved during fiscal 2000 and provides that we are authorized to issue up to 500,000 shares of common stock to our full-time employees, nearly all
of whom are eligible to participate. The 2000 ESPP is a qualified plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the terms of the 2000 ESPP, employees, excluding those owning 5 percent or more of the common stock, can choose every six
months to have up to 10 percent of their base and bonus earnings withheld to purchase common stock, subject to limitations. The purchase price of the common stock is 85 percent of the lower of its beginning-of-period or end-of-period market price.



Under the 2000 ESPP, we sold 118,485, 79,750 and 39,652 shares
of common stock to employees during fiscal 2001, fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2003. At September 30, 2002 and 2003, we had available 301,765 and 262,113 shares for issuance under the 2000 ESPP. The 2000 ESPP expires on December 31, 2007.



Additional Stock Option Grants. During prior fiscal years, the board
of directors authorized the issuance of stock options to purchase 25,260 shares of common stock, which we granted outside of the existing stock option plans. As of September 30, 2003, 13,695 of these options are still available for exercise.





Except for the look-back options issued under the 2000 ESPP, all stock options granted under our stock-based compensation plans, as well as those stock options granted outside our stock-based compensation plans, were
granted at exercise prices not less than the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant.

Amounts reported in
the last two columns represent hypothetical amounts that may be realized upon exercise of the options immediately prior to the expiration of their term, assuming the specified compounded rates of appreciation of the common stock over the term of the
options. The numbers shown in these two columns are calculated based on Securities and Exchange Commission rules and do not reflect our estimate of future stock price growth. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises and common stock holdings
depend on the timing of such exercises and the future performance of the common stock. We do not guarantee that the rates of appreciation assumed in these two columns can be achieved or that the amounts reflected will be received by the named
executive officers. The two columns do not take into account any appreciation of the price of the common stock from the date of grant to the current date.

In connection with our 1992 acquisition of Bryce Business Systems, we issued options to acquire a total 24,060 shares of our common stock to the owners of Bryce. The
issuance of the options and related option shares was approved by our board of directors but was not required to be submitted to our shareholders for approval. Options for 10,365 of those shares were granted on October 1, 1992 at an exercise price
of $15.39 per share and expired on September 30, 2002 unexercised. Options for the remaining 13,695 shares were granted on August 29, 1995 at an exercise price of $7.88 per share. These options are fully vested, and the underlying shares remain
available for issuance if the options are exercised.
