                       PARAMETRIC TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and have been
prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of
those of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the
Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates
and for the periods indicated.  While the Company believes that the disclosures
presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-
K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996.

   The results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
June 28, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the
full fiscal year.


2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

   In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share." SFAS
No. 128 establishes a different method of computing net income per share than is
currently required under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 15.  Under SFAS No. 128, the Company will be required to present both basic
net income per share and diluted net income per share.  Basic net income per
share for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 28, 1997 would have
been $.44 and $1.24 per share, respectively, as compared with $.33 and $.88 per
share for the corresponding periods in fiscal 1996.  The impact of SFAS No. 128
on the calculation of diluted net income per share for these quarters is not
expected to be materially different from reported earnings per share.  The
Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 128 in its first quarter of fiscal 1998 and at
that time all historical net income per share data presented will be restated to
conform to the provisions of SFAS No. 128.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


   Parametric Technology Corporation is the CAD/CAM/CAE (computer-aided design,
manufacturing and engineering) industry's leading supplier of software tools
used to automate the mechanical development of a product from its conceptual
design through its release into manufacturing.

   Information provided by the Company, including information contained in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or by its spokespersons from time to time may
contain forward-looking statements concerning projected financial performance,
industry segment growth, product development and commercialization or other
aspects of future operations. In particular, the statements in this Report
concerning anticipated revenue, geographical growth rates and projected expenses
made pursuant to the safe harbor established by recent securities legislation
are based on the assumptions and expectations of the Company's management at the
time such statements are made. The Company cautions investors that its
performance (and, therefore, any forward-looking statement) is subject to risks
and uncertainties. Important information about the basis for those assumptions
including factors that may cause actual results to vary from those forecast are
discussed below and are also contained in "Important Factors Regarding Future
Results" included in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" section in the 1996 Annual Report to
Stockholders, incorporated herein by reference.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   Revenue, including license and service revenues, for the three-month and
nine-month periods ended June 28, 1997 was $207,114,000 and $588,627,000,
respectively, compared with $157,104,000 and $422,994,000 for the three-month
and nine-month periods ended June 29, 1996.  These totals represent increases of
32% for the three-month period and 39% for the nine-month period over the
corresponding periods in fiscal 1996.  Net income, as a percentage of revenue,
was 27%  for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 28, 1997 compared
to 26% in the corresponding periods in fiscal 1996.  This represents an increase
in net income of  35% and 42%  from the three-month and nine-month periods ended
June 29, 1996.
 
   The Company derives its revenue from the sale and support of software used in
the mechanical segment of the CAD/CAM/CAE industry.  Revenue growth in the
three-month and nine-month periods ended June 28, 1997 reflects the continued
worldwide acceptance of the Company's products and services and the Company's
ongoing investment in expanding its worldwide direct sales force.  License
revenue was $149,372,000 and $434,868,000 for the three-month and nine-month
periods ended June 28, 1997, a 27% and 39% increase from $117,836,000 and
$312,686,000 for the corresponding periods in fiscal 1996.  This growth results
from an increase in the number of seats of software licensed.  A seat of
software generally consists of various software products configured to serve the
needs of a single end user.  The Company licensed 7,611 and 22,070 seats of
software respectively in the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 28,
1997, an increase of 29% and 35% from 5,892 and 16,346 seats of software in the
comparable periods in fiscal 1996.  The increase in the number of seats licensed
was achieved as a result of continued market penetration of the Company's
products.

   Service revenue is derived from the sale of software maintenance contracts
and the performance of training and consulting services.  Service revenue was
$57,742,000 and $153,759,000 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
June 28, 1997, an increase of  47% and 39% from $39,268,000 and $110,308,000 for
the comparable periods in fiscal 1996.  The increase in service revenue is a
result of the growth in the Company's increased installed customer base and, to
a lesser extent, increased training and consulting services performed for these
customers.

   The Company derived 53% and 55% of revenue from sales to international
customers in the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 28, 1997,
compared with 56% and 55% for the same periods in fiscal 1996.  The decrease in
the percentage of revenue derived from international sales is primarily
attributable to weaker revenues in Japan due principally to internal execution
issues and to a lesser extent the strengthening of the dollar in relation to the
yen and the major European currencies.  The Company has taken measures to
strengthen the sales and support infrastructure in Japan and to rebuild capacity
in order to re-accelerate revenue growth in this region.  The Company
anticipates that total revenue will increase for the 

                                       7

 
remainder of fiscal 1997 from continued sales in the mechanical CAD/CAM/CAE
industry, particularly in view of the strong growth in North America. However,
growth in international revenue will continue to be affected by weaker revenues
in Japan and foreign exchange rates. These factors also affect the Company's
ability to forecast quarter to quarter results. Although the Company expects
revenues to grow throughout fiscal 1997, there can be no assurance that
quarterly revenue growth rates and/or geographical growth rates will be
comparable with those achieved in prior periods. The rate of continued revenue
growth throughout the remainder of fiscal 1997 depends upon the strength of the
U.S. dollar in relation to foreign currencies as well as the Company's ability
to implement recent measures taken to strengthen results in Japan, to adequately
manage the Company's exposure to foreign currency fluctuations, to continue to
penetrate the mechanical segment of the CAD/CAM/CAE industry, to attract and
retain skilled personnel, and to deliver timely product enhancements.

   Cost of license revenue consists of the amortization of capitalized computer
software costs and costs associated with reproducing software, printing user
manuals, royalties, packaging and shipping.  The increase in cost of license
revenue is primarily a result of the increase in the number of seats licensed
and the royalty costs associated with those licenses during the three-month and
nine-month periods ended June 28, 1997 as compared to the corresponding periods
in fiscal 1996.  Cost of service revenue includes the costs associated with
training and consulting personnel, such as salaries and related costs and
travel, and the costs related to software maintenance, including costs incurred
for customer support personnel and the release of maintenance updates.  The
increase in cost of service revenue resulted primarily from growth in the
staffing necessary to generate and support increased worldwide service revenue
and provide ongoing quality customer support to the Company's increasing
installed base.  Combined, these expenses increased to $19,509,000 and
$55,618,000 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 28, 1997 from
$14,090,000 and $39,933,000 for the corresponding periods in fiscal 1996.  Total
cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue remained stable between 9% and 10%
for both the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 28, 1997 and the
corresponding periods in fiscal 1996.

   Sales and marketing expenses primarily include salaries, sales commissions,
travel and facility costs.  Sales and marketing expenses increased to
$80,136,000 and $229,060,000 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
June 28, 1997 from $62,916,000 and $169,670,000 for the corresponding periods in
fiscal 1996.  These costs decreased as a percentage of revenue to 39% for both
the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 28, 1997, compared with 40%
for the comparable periods in fiscal 1996.  The absolute increase in these
expenses was due primarily to worldwide expansion of the sales force and sales
commissions associated with higher revenue.  Total sales and marketing headcount
increased to 2,026 at June 28, 1997, an increase of 33% from 1,524 at June 29,
1996.  The Company expects to continue the growth of its worldwide sales and
marketing organization during fiscal 1997, reflecting the Company's commitment
to focus its resources on increasing its installed base and expanding worldwide
acceptance for its products.  The Company's ability to meet this expectation
depends upon its ability to attract and retain highly skilled technical,
managerial and sales personnel.

   The Company continued to make investments in research and development,
consisting principally of salaries and benefits, expenses associated with
product translations, costs of computer equipment used in software development,
and facility expenses.  Research and development expenses increased to
$13,715,000 and $39,141,000 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
June 28, 1997 from $10,499,000 and $27,225,000 for the corresponding periods in
fiscal 1996.  Total research and development expenses were 7% of revenue for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended June 28, 1997, compared with 7% and 6%
for the same periods in fiscal 1996.

   General and administrative expenses include the costs of corporate, finance,
information technology, human resources and administrative functions of the
Company.  These expenses increased to $10,198,000 and $28,622,000 for the three-
month and nine-month periods ended June 28, 1997 from $7,426,000 and $20,174,000
for the corresponding periods in fiscal 1996.  General and administrative
expenses as a percentage of revenue remained constant at 5% for the three-month
and nine-month periods ended June 28, 1997 and June 29, 1996. The absolute
increase in these expenses was primarily due to the hiring of additional
employees necessary to support the Company's worldwide growth.

                                       8

 
   Other income, net, primarily includes interest income and expense, contract
costs associated with managing the Company's foreign exchange exposure and
foreign currency gains and losses. Other income decreased to $2,837,000 and
$7,912,000 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 28, 1997
compared with $3,063,000 and $8,737,000 for the corresponding periods in fiscal
1996. As the Company's international business continues to increase, a growing
percentage of the Company's revenue and expenses is transacted in foreign
currencies. In order to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange
rates, the Company engages in hedging transactions involving the use of forward
foreign exchange contracts in the primary European and Asian currencies.

   The Company's effective tax rate for the three-month and nine-month periods
ended June 28, 1997 was 35%, compared with 36.2% for the same periods in fiscal
1996.  The difference between the effective and statutory federal tax rate was
due primarily to the benefits of tax-exempt interest income and the tax benefits
from the use of the foreign sales corporation, offset by the impact of state
income taxes.

   The number of worldwide employees increased 30% to 3,346 at June 28, 1997
compared with 2,573 at June 29, 1996. Employment increased significantly to
support higher revenues and international expansion, with the largest portion of
this growth occurring in the sales and marketing organization.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   As of June 28, 1997, the Company had $223,642,000 of cash and cash
equivalents and $301,466,000 of investments.  Net cash generated by operating
activities and proceeds from issuance of the Company's stock under stock plans
provided sufficient resources to fund the Company's headcount growth, capital
asset needs and stock repurchases for the nine months ended June 28, 1997.  Net
cash provided by operating activities, consisting primarily of net income from
operations before depreciation and amortization and increases in working
capital, was $196,848,000 for the nine-month period ended June 28, 1997,
compared with $154,479,000 for the corresponding period in fiscal 1996.  Net
cash used by investing activities totaled $77,317,000 for the nine-month period
ended June 28, 1997, compared with $93,986,000 for the corresponding period in
fiscal 1996.  The decrease is principally due to the timing of the purchases and
sales of investments.  The Company acquired $21,642,000 of capital equipment
consisting primarily of computer equipment, software, and office equipment to
meet the needs resulting from the growth in employee headcount, continued
expansion of its worldwide sales and support operations and increased investment
in information technologies and in computer workstations to keep field and
development employees current with changes in the hardware and software
marketplace.  For the remainder of fiscal 1997, the Company plans to continue
spending at current levels; however, the level of spending will be dependent on
various factors, including the growth of the business and general economic
conditions.  Financing activities, consisting primarily of proceeds from
issuance of common stock offset by the purchases of treasury stock, used
$93,310,000 for the nine months ended June 28, 1997 and $19,148,000 for the nine
months ended June 29, 1996.  The 1997 increase was due principally to higher
stock repurchases under the Company's stock repurchase program.

   On May 12, 1994, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had
authorized a plan that allows the Company to repurchase up to 6,000,000 shares
of its common stock.  The Company intends to repurchase these shares to
partially offset the dilution caused by the exercise of stock options under the
Company's option plans and the purchase of shares under the employee stock
purchase plan.  During the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 28,
1997, the Company repurchased 907,500 and 2,664,500 shares at a cost of
$40,046,000 and $135,066,000, respectively, of which 773,000 remained in
treasury on June 28, 1997.  Since the inception of the plan, the Company has
repurchased 4,757,500 shares.  Ongoing repurchases will be funded through the
use of available cash, cash generated from operations and cash received from
stock option exercises and employee stock purchase plan purchases.

   The Company believes that existing cash and short-term investment balances,
together with cash generated from operations and issuance of the Company's
common stock under stock plans, will be sufficient to meet the Company's
currently projected working capital, financing and capital expenditure
requirements through at least the next twelve months.
