Supplemental schedule of noncash financing and investing activities (in
thousands):

In October 1999, the Company acquired all of the stock of OPUS 2 Revenue
Technologies, Inc. ("OPUS"), pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase
agreement. The purchase price of $4,800 for OPUS consists of an up-front payment
of both cash of $3,800 and MICROS stock valued at approximately $1,000. The
Company issued 24,510 shares (in whole shares) of restricted common stock to the
former owners. An additional payment of $450 was paid in January 2000 for the
purchase of Opus. Goodwill related to this acquisition was $6,230 at December
31, 2000, and is being amortized over seven years. Additionally, the former
shareholders have the right to earn: (i) three earn-out payments based on OPUS
revenues, for the three periods ending 9 months (for which no earn-out payment
was due or paid), 21 months, and 33 months after the closing of the transaction;
and (ii) a performance payment based on the completion of the development of
certain new software. The pro forma effects of this acquisition are immaterial
and are not presented.

In December 1999, the Company acquired all of the stock of Stanley Hayman and
Company, Inc ("Hayman") and MICROS of South Florida, Inc ("MSF"). Hayman and MSF
are affiliate companies with substantially similar shareholders. The purchase
price for both companies combined was $5,000, which was accrued in December 1999
and paid in January 2000. An additional payment of $252 was paid in July 2000.
An earn-out payment for fiscal year 2000 of $248 was paid in December 2000.
Goodwill related to this acquisition was $4,560 as of December 31, 2000, and is
being amortized over seven years. The selling shareholders may be entitled to
earn additional earn-out payments determined by a formula that is based on
Hayman's and MSF's collective future financial performance.

2.       New accounting standards

         In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
         Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
         Statements" to provide guidance regarding the recognition, presentation
         and disclosure of revenue in the financial statements. In March 2000,
         the SEC released SAB 101A, which delayed the implementation date of SAB
         101 for registrants with fiscal years that begin between December 16,
         1999 and March 15, 2000. Subsequently, the SEC released SAB 101B which
         further delays the implementation date of SAB 101 until no later than
         the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15,
         1999. The Company is reviewing the provisions of the Bulletin.

3.       Legal proceedings

         MICROS is and has been involved in legal proceedings arising in the
         normal course of business. The Company is of the opinion, based upon
         presently available information and the advice of counsel concerning
         pertinent legal matters, that any resulting liability should not have a
         material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or
         financial position.

         On March 25, 1997, Budgetel Inns, Inc. ("Budgetel") filed suit against
         MICROS in the United States Federal District Court in the Eastern
         District of Wisconsin. Budgetel alleges, among other things, that
         MICROS breached a March 1993 software support agreement by failing to
         provide full support to this software package licensed to Budgetel in
         1993. MICROS filed a counterclaim against Budgetel, alleging breach of
         contract and defamation. Although the discovery phase of the litigation
         has been substantially completed, no trial date has been scheduled.
         While the ultimate outcome of litigation is uncertain, and while
         litigation is inherently difficult to predict, the Company is of the
         opinion, based upon presently available information and the advice of
         counsel concerning pertinent legal matters, that resulting liability,
         if any, should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
         results of operations or financial position.

4.       Net income (loss) per share

         Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by
         the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted net income
         per share includes the dilutive effect of stock options.

         Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed using the
         weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period and
         does not include unexercised stock options since their effect would be
         anti-dilutive due to the losses in the three and six-month periods
         ended December 31, 2000.

         A reconciliation of the weighted-average number of common shares
         outstanding assuming dilution is as follows:

5.       Acquisitions

         In October 2000, the Company purchased the assets of the hospitality
         division of Hospitality Solutions International, Inc. ("HSI"). Based in
         Scottsdale, Arizona, HSI's hospitality division is a top developer of
         technology solutions for the hospitality industry. HSI's products
         include the point-of-service and enterprise systems for restaurants, as
         well as hotel management software. The purchase price for the assets of
         $3,900 was paid in November 2000. As part of the acquisition, certain
         liabilities of HSI were assumed. Goodwill related to this acquisition
         was $5,600 at December 31, 2000, and is being amortized over ten years.
         The pro forma effects of this acquisition are immaterial and are not
         presented.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

Results of Operations - Second Quarter and Six Month Comparisons

     The Company recorded a net loss of $0.06 per common share in the second
quarter of fiscal 2001, compared with diluted net income of $0.48 per share in
the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Net loss for the six months ended December
31, 2000, was $0.11 per share compared with diluted net income of $0.78 per
common share for the first six months of fiscal 2000. For the quarter and
year-to-date, the decreased net income was primarily due to lower sales volumes.

     Revenue of $80.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 decreased
$22.7 million, or 22.0%, compared to the same period last year. For the first
six months of fiscal 2001, revenue decreased $36.1 million to $154.1 million, or
19.0%, over the same period in fiscal 2000. A comparison of the sales mix for
fiscal years 2001 and 2000 is as follows:

</TABLE>

     For the quarter and year-to-date, both hardware and software sales
decreased in absolute dollars in comparison to the prior year, primarily due to
the continued slowdown in information technology purchases by the hospitality
industry. Service sales decreased in absolute dollars for the second quarter in
comparison to the prior year, and also on a year-to-date basis, primarily due to
a decreased volume of installations offset by an increase in support revenues
earned on a larger customer base.

     Combined hardware and software revenues for the second quarter of fiscal
2001 decreased $21.0 million, or 32.9%, while service revenues decreased $1.7
million, or 4.3%, over the same period a year earlier. On a year-to-date basis,
hardware and software sales decreased $35.1 million, or 30.0%, while service
revenues decreased $0.9 million, or 1.3%, over the same period a year earlier.

     Cost of sales, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 49.6% for the
second quarter of fiscal 2001 from 51.8% for the second quarter of fiscal 2000.
For the first six months of fiscal 2001 and 2000, cost of sales, as a percentage
of revenue, was 50.6% and 52.2% respectively. Cost of sales for hardware and
software products, as a percentage of related revenue, was 48.5% in the second
quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to 54.0% for the same quarter a year earlier and
49.7% compared to 54.5% for the first six months of fiscal 2001 and 2000,
respectively. For the quarter and year-to-date, this decrease was primarily due
to the decrease of lower margin hardware sales as a percentage of total hardware
and software sales.

     Service costs, as a percentage of service revenue, increased to 51.0% in
the second quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to 48.2% in the same quarter in
fiscal 2000. Service costs, as a percentage of service revenue, increased to
51.6% in the first six months of fiscal 2001 compared to 48.6% for the same
period in fiscal 2000. The second quarter and year-to-date increase in
comparison to the prior year was due to a lower number of installations
performed in fiscal 2001 resulting in lower labor utilization rates for service
personnel.

<PAGE>   12


     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4.7 million, or
17.3%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to the same period last
year. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses
increased to 40.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to 26.6% in the
second quarter of fiscal 2000. For the first six months of fiscal 2001, selling,
general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenue, was 40.2%
compared to 27.4% for the same period a year earlier. For both the quarter and
year-to-date, these increases are primarily due to decreased revenue and
additional expenses related to the acquisition of direct sales offices.

     Research and development expenses (exclusive of capitalized software
development costs), which consist primarily of labor costs, increased $0.4
million, or 8.7%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to the same
period a year earlier. Actual research and development expenditures, including
capitalized software development costs of $2.2 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 2001 and $1.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000, increased
$0.9 million, or 14.3%, compared to the same period a year earlier. For the
first six months of fiscal 2001, research and development expenses (exclusive of
capitalized software development costs), which consist primarily of labor costs,
increased $0.7 million, or 9.1%, compared to the same period a year earlier.
Actual research and development expenditures, including capitalized software
development costs of $4.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2001 and
$3.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2000, increased $2.3 million, or
20.5%, compared to the same period a year earlier. The increase in absolute
dollars for the three and six-month periods is primarily due to increased
expenditures in the Company's hotel business.

     Income from operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 was $0.1
million, or 0.1% of revenue, compared to income of $14.7 million, or 14.4% of
revenue, in the same period a year earlier. For the first six months of fiscal
2001, income from operations was a loss of $1.4 million compared to income of
$24.8 million a year earlier. For both the second quarter and first six months
of fiscal 2001, the Company's lower dollar income from operations is primarily
due to a lower volume of sales in fiscal 2001 and higher operating expenses due
to the acquisition of additional direct sales offices.

     Other expense for the second quarter increased $1.6 million from income of
$0.2 million in fiscal 2000 to an expense of $1.4 million in fiscal 2001. For
the first six month of fiscal 2001, other expense was $1.6 million compared to
an expense of $0.8 million a year earlier. The Company experienced translation
loss of $1.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to a gain of
$0.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. The translation loss is
primarily due to changes in exchange rates between the German mark and the U.S.
dollar and between the South African rand and the U.S. dollar.

     The effective tax rate for the second quarter and year-to-date of fiscal
years 2001 and 2000 was 40.5%.

The European Union ("EU") filed a challenge against the U.S. Foreign Sales
corporation ("FSC") tax provisions with the World Trade Organization ("WTO").
On February 25, 2000, the WTO issued a final decision upholding this challenge.
Officials representing the United States on trade issues continue to seek
resolution through a negotiated settlement. It is currently not possible to
predict what impact, if any, this issue will have on future earnings pending
final resolution of the matter with the WTO, EU, and the United States.

Euro Conversion

     On January 1, 1999, certain member nations of the European Economic and
Monetary Union ("EMU") adopted a common currency, the Euro. For a three-year
transition period, both the Euro and individual participants' currencies will
remain in circulation. After June 30, 2002, the Euro will be the sole legal
tender for EMU countries. The adoption of the Euro will affect a multitude of
financial systems and business applications as the commerce of these nations
will be transacted in the Euro


<PAGE>   13


and the existing national currency during the transition period. As of December
31, 2000, of the eleven countries currently admitted to the EMU, the Company has
subsidiary operations in six of those countries and distributor relationships in
the remaining five countries.

     MICROS is currently addressing Euro related issues and its impact on
information systems, currency exchange rate risk, taxation, contracts,
competition and pricing. Action plans currently being implemented are expected
to result in compliance with all laws and regulations; however, there can be no
certainty that such plans will be successfully implemented or that external
factors will not have an adverse effect on the Company's operations. Moreover,
there is still some uncertainty with respect to the interpretation of certain
Euro regulations, and the impact of the regulations on the Company's Euro
implementation. Any costs associated with the adoption of the Euro will be
expensed as incurred. The Company currently does not expect these costs to be
material to its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

     The Company has a $45.0 million multi-currency unsecured committed line of
credit, which was renewed during the second quarter of fiscal 2001 for an
additional one-year period, expiring on December 31, 2001. The Company has the
one-time option to convert the line of credit into a three-year secured term
loan upon expiration of the line of credit. As of December 31, 2000, there is
$4.8 million outstanding under this line of credit.

     In addition, the Company has a credit relationship from a European bank in
the amount of DM 15.0 million (approximately $7.2 million at the December 31,
2000 exchange rate). Under the terms of this facility, the Company may borrow in
the form of either a line of credit or term debt. Under the credit facility, the
Company has a balance of DM 5.0 million (approximately $2.4 million at the
December 31, 2000 exchange rate) in the form of balloon debt and has no line of
credit borrowings. As the Company has significant international operations, its
DM-denominated borrowings do not represent a significant foreign exchange risk.
On an overall basis, the Company monitors its cash and debt positions in each
currency in an effort to reduce its foreign exchange risk.

     Also, due to an acquisition in June 2000, the Company had a line of credit
and a line for term loans of $0.7 million. The term loans were paid in full in
October 2000 and the lines were cancelled with the bank.

     Net cash provided by operating activities for the six-months ended December
31, 2000, was $8.6 million versus $24.6 million for the six-months ended
December 31, 1999. The reduction in net cash for fiscal 2001 relative to fiscal
2000 was caused, by among other factors: (i) slowdown in information technology
purchases due to Year 2000 driven purchases in calendar 1999 and also the
reduction of new restaurant openings and the continued consolidation of hotels;
(ii) longer and delayed sales cycles due to the introduction of new and/or
untested technologies, such as Internet-based technologies; and (iii) European
currency weakness relative to the dollar. The Company used $17.2 million for
investing activities in fiscal 2001, including $10.7 million for the purchase of
property, plant, and equipment and internally developed software and $6.5
million for business acquisitions and contingent earn-out payments. Net
financing activities for fiscal 2001 provided $4.1 million, primarily from
proceeds of $8.4 million on the line of credit during fiscal 2001 which was
offset by $4.6 million in repayments on the lines of credit, long term debt and
capital lease obligations. The cash position of the Company at December 31, 2000
was $21.7 million. All cash is being held for the operation and expansion of the
business.

     The Company anticipates that its cash flow from operations along with
available lines of credit, in conjunction with other lines of credit for which
the Company may be eligible or lines of credit to be renewed or converted into
term debt, are sufficient to provide the working capital needs of the Company
for the foreseeable future. The Company anticipates that its property, plant and
equipment expenditures for fiscal 2001 will be approximately $9.0 million.

Summary

     Until calendar year 2000, the Company had recently experienced rapid
revenue growth at a rate that it believes had significantly exceeded that of the
global market for point-of-sale computer systems and property management
information systems products for the hospitality industry. In light of current
market conditions, the Company does not expect to maintain growth at historic
levels, and there can be no assurance that any particular level of growth can be
achieved. In addition, due to the competitive nature of the market, the Company
continues to experience gross margin pressure on its products and service
offerings. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue
to increase sales sufficiently of its higher margin products, including
software, to prevent future declines in the Company's overall gross margin.

     Moreover, MICROS's financial results in any single quarter are dependent
upon the timing and size of customer orders and the shipment of products for
large orders. Large software orders from customers may account for more than an
insignificant portion of earnings in any quarter. The customers with whom MICROS
does the largest amount of business are expected to vary from year to year as a
result of the timing for the roll-out of each customer's system. Furthermore, if
a customer delays or accelerates its delivery requirements or a product's
completion is delayed or accelerated, revenues expected in a given quarter may
be deferred or accelerated into subsequent or earlier quarters.

     The market price of MICROS Common Stock is volatile, and may be subject to
significant fluctuations in response to variations in MICROS's quarterly
operating results and other factors such as announcements of technological
developments or new products by MICROS, customer roll-outs, technological
advances by existing and new competitors, and general market conditions in the
hospitality industry. In addition, conditions in the stock market in general and
shares of technology companies in particular have experienced significant price
and volume fluctuations which have at times been unrelated to the operating
performance of companies.

     Moreover, some of the statements contained herein not based on historic
facts are forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, that involve risks and uncertainties. Past performance
is not necessarily a strong or reliable indicator of future performance. Actual
results could differ materially from past results, estimates or projections.
Some of the additional risks and uncertainties are: product demand and market
acceptance, including demand and acceptance for the new OPERA products and the
newest versions of the 3700 RES; implementation of a cost-effective service
structure capable of servicing increasingly complex software systems in
increasingly more remote locations; achieving increased sales of higher margin
software products; hiring and retention of qualified employees with sufficient
technical expertise; adverse economic or political conditions; unexpected
currency fluctuations; impact of competitive products and pricing on margins;
product development delays; technological difficulties associated with new
product releases, including those with respect to the Fidelio next generation
integrated property management and central reservation system technologies; and
controlling expenses. These and other risks are disclosed in the Company's
releases and SEC filings, including in the section titled "Business and
Investment Risks; Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements", in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2000.

                     For the Quarter Ended December 31, 2000

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     The Company has experienced rapid growth internationally. MICROS'
significant international business and presence does expose the Company to
certain market risks, such as currency, interest rate and political risks. With
respect to currency risk, the Company transacts business in over 28 different
currencies through its foreign subsidiaries. The fluctuation of currencies
impacts sales and profitability. Frequently, sales and the costs associated with
such sales are not always denominated in the same currency. Given the fact that
the Company transacts business in many different currencies, adverse declines in
certain currencies can be offset by favorable advances in other currencies.
Recent weakness in certain European currencies has, however, adversely impacted
the financial performance of the Company.

     Additionally, the Company is subject to interest rate fluctuations in
foreign countries to the extent that the Company elects to borrow in the local
foreign currency. In the past, this has not been an issue of concern as the
Company has the capacity to elect to borrow in other currencies with more
favorable interest rates. While the Company has not to date invested in
financial instruments designed to protect against interest rate fluctuations,
the Company will continue to evaluate the need to do so in the future.

     Further, the Company is subject to political risk, especially in developing
countries with uncertain or unstable political structures or regimes. The
Company is also subject to the effects of, and changes in, laws and regulations,
other activities of governments, agencies and similar organizations. The Company
does not believe at this time that it is exposed to unusual political risk that
could have a material adverse impact on the Company.

     Finally, the Company's unsecured committed line of credit bears interest at
a floating rate of interest. It does not invest in financial instruments
designed to protect against interest rate fluctuations, although it will
continue to evaluate the need to do so in the future.

                           Part II - Other Information

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

     MICROS is and has been involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal
course of business. The Company is of the opinion, based upon presently
available information and the advice of counsel concerning pertinent legal
matters, that any resulting liability should not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

     On March 25, 1997, Budgetel Inns, Inc. ("Budgetel") filed suit against
MICROS in the United States Federal District Court in the Eastern District of
Wisconsin. Budgetel alleges, among other things, that MICROS breached a March
1993 software support agreement by failing to provide full support to this
software package licensed to Budgetel in 1993. MICROS filed a counterclaim
against Budgetel, alleging breach of contract and defamation. Although the
discovery phase of the litigation has been substantially completed, no trial
date has been scheduled. While the ultimate outcome of litigation is uncertain,
and while litigation is inherently difficult to predict, the Company is of the
opinion, based upon presently available information and the advice of counsel
concerning pertinent legal matters, that resulting liability, if any, should not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or
financial position.
