FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Agilysys, Inc. Files Fiscal 2005 Form 10-K

CLEVELAND – June 30, 2005 – Agilysys, Inc. (NASDAQ: AGYS), a leading provider of enterprise computer technology solutions, today announced that it has filed its fiscal 2005 Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company’s Form 10-K reports fiscal 2005 sales of $1.6 billion, a 16% increase over fiscal 2004 and diluted earnings per share of $0.67 compared with $0.31 in fiscal 2004. The Form 10-K also reports two material weaknesses in the company’s internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.

Agilysys stated today that final year-end adjustments decreased fiscal 2005 net income by a total of $0.05 to $0.67 per diluted share, compared with the $0.72 per diluted share previously reported in the company’s unaudited earnings release issued May 10, 2005. On June 13, 2005, the company reported that it expected to report an adjustment of $0.02 per diluted share. The $0.05 adjustment to earnings per share is primarily related to accruals for incentive and retirement plans.

The company also announced that in its evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005, management identified two material weaknesses, one of which was previously announced on June 13, 2005, relating to inadequate controls over the vendor debits process. Vendor debits are transactional discounts on purchases from major suppliers. The vendor debits process is manually intensive and involves thousands of individual transactions. The second material weakness identified was related to ineffective controls over the financial statement close process.

Agilysys is in the process of designing and implementing a comprehensive remediation plan to rectify the material weaknesses.

Martin Ellis, Agilysys executive vice president, treasurer and chief financial officer, said, “We recognize that effective internal controls are the cornerstone to accurate and timely financial reporting and we are committed to refining the company’s systems and processes to ensure the integrity of our financial reporting.”
