Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

     On July 24, 2007, Manhattan Associates, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release providing the results for its financial performance for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007. A copy of this press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1. Pursuant to General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, this exhibit is “furnished” and not “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

     The press release includes, as additional information regarding our operating results, our adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, which excludes the impact of acquisition-related costs and the amortization thereof, the recapture of previously recognized transaction tax expense and stock option expense under SFAS 123(R), all net of income tax effects. Adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, operating income, net income and earnings per share under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and may be different from non-GAAP operating income, net income and earnings per share measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be used as a substitute for, or considered superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with the GAAP.

     We believe that these adjusted (non-GAAP) results provide more meaningful information regarding those aspects of our current operating performance that can be effectively managed, and consequently have developed our internal reporting, compensation and planning systems using these measures.

	•		Because we sporadically engage in acquisitions, we incur acquisition-related costs that consist primarily of expenses from accounting and legal due diligence, whether or not we ultimately proceed with the transaction. Additionally, we might assume and incur certain unusual costs, such as employee retention benefits, that result from arrangements made prior to the acquisition. These acquisition costs are practically difficult to predict and do not correlate to the expenses of our core operations. The amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets is commonly excluded from the GAAP operating income, net income and earnings per share by companies in our industry, and we therefore exclude these amortization costs to provide more relevant and meaningful comparisons of our operating results with that of our competitors.
	•		Because we have recognized the full potential amount of the transaction (sales) tax expense in prior periods, any recovery of that expense resulting from the expiration of the state sales tax statutes or the collection of the taxes from our customers would overstate the current period net income derived from our core operations as the recovery is not a result of anything occurring within our control during the current period.
	•		Because stock option expense under SFAS 123(R) is determined in significant part by the trading price of our common stock and the volatility thereof, over which we have no direct control, the impact of such expense is not subject to effective management by us. Excluding the impact of SFAS 123(R) in adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share is consistent with similar practice by our competitors and other companies within our industry.

     For these reasons, we have developed our internal reporting, compensation and planning systems using non-GAAP measures which adjust for these amounts.

     We believe the reporting of adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share facilitates investors’ understanding of our historical operating trends, because it provides important supplemental measurement information in evaluating the operating results of our business, as distinct from results that include items that are not indicative of ongoing operating results, and thus provide the investors with useful insight into our profitability exclusive of unusual adjustments. While these adjusted items may not be considered as non-recurring in nature in a strictly accounting sense, the management regards those items as infrequent and not arising out of the ordinary course of business and finds it useful to utilize a non-GAAP measure in evaluating the performance of our underlying core business.

     We also believe that adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share provides a basis for more relevant comparisons to other companies in the industry, enables investors to evaluate our operating performance in a manner consistent with our internal basis of measurement and also presents our investors our operating results on the same basis as that used by our management. Management refers to adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share in making operating decisions because they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and our ability to invest in research and development and fund acquisitions and capital expenditures. In addition, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share facilitate management’s internal comparisons to our historical operating results and comparisons to competitors’ operating results. Further, we rely on adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share information as primary measures to review and assess the operating performance of our company and our management team in connection with our executive compensation and bonus plans. Since most of our employees are not directly involved with decisions surrounding acquisitions or severance related activities and other items that are not central to our core operations, we do not believe it is appropriate and fair to have their incentive compensation affected by these items. By adjusting those items not indicative of ongoing operating results, the non-GAAP financial measure could serve as an alternative useful measure to evaluate our prospect for future performance because our investors are able to more conveniently predict the results of our operating activities on an on-going basis when excluding these less common items.

     Investors should be aware that these non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, including their variance from certain of the financial measurement principals underlying GAAP, should not be considered as a replacement for operating income, net income and earnings per share, respectively, and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. For instance, we exclude the charges of the acquisition-related costs and the related amortization while we still retain the acquisition-related benefits and revenue in calculation of the non-GAAP adjusted operating income, net income and earnings per share. In addition, we exclude a portion of employee compensation, which is commonly considered integral to a company’s operational performance. This supplemental non-GAAP information should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by similar adjustments to net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory
                  Arrangements of Certain Officers.

     On July 19, 2007, the Company and its President and Chief Executive Officer, Peter F. Sinisgalli, entered into a modification (the “Modification”) to the Executive Employment Agreement by and between the Company and Mr. Sinisgalli dated February 25, 2004 (the “Original Agreement”). The Compensation Committee of the Board of the Directors of the Company negotiated the Modification with Mr. Sinisgalli, and approved the final terms, conditions and form of the Modification, and the Board of Directors ratified the Compensation Committee’s actions.

     The term of the Original Agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Sinisgalli is employed as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, ends on April 12, 2008. The Modification extends the term of Mr. Sinisgalli’s employment pursuant to the Original Agreement until April 12, 2012.

     In consideration of his agreement to continue in his offices with the Company, Mr. Sinisgalli is entitled under the Modification to an annual salary of $440,000, subject to annual review, and will continue to be eligible to receive a performance-based bonus as determined by the Compensation Committee. The Modification also provides for the grant to Mr. Sinisgalli, on the date of execution of the Modification, of (1) options to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an exercise price of $25.52 a share, expiring on the seventh anniversary of the grant date, and (2) 66,667 shares of restricted stock, both pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. The options and restricted shares vest in 16 equal quarterly installments beginning April 4, 2008. In the event Mr. Sinisgalli is terminated or constructively terminated, other than for cause, within two years following a change of control of the Company, all unvested equity incentives granted pursuant to the Modification immediately vest.

     This summary of the terms and conditions of the Modification is qualified in its entirety by the reference to the full text of the Modification, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated by reference herein.
