1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein
have been prepared by ANSYS, Inc. (the "Company") in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information for commercial
and industrial companies and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X.  The financial statements as of and for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated
financial statements (and notes thereto) included in the Company's Form S-1
dated June 20, 1996 which includes the year ended December 31, 1995.
Accordingly, the accompanying statements do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been
included, and all adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.  Operating
results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1996.

2.  INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Effective June 20, 1996, the Company completed its initial public offering of
3,500,000 shares of Common Stock at $13.00 per share.  The net proceeds (after
deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses) totaled
$41.1 million and were used as follows:  i) the repayment of approximately $18.5
million of senior secured indebtedness (the "1994 Loan"), including accrued and
unpaid interest; ii) the repayment of $17.5 million of 10% Subordinated Notes
(the "Subordinated Notes"); and iii) the redemption of $5.1 million of
Redeemable Preferred Stock, including accumulated dividends.


3.  EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

The Company incurred an extraordinary item for the three months ended June 30,
1996 of $343,000, net of income tax benefit.  In connection with the acquisition
of its business in 1994 (the "1994 Acquisition"), the Company capitalized
$925,000 of debt issuance costs and $179,000 associated with an interest rate
cap agreement, the unamortized portion of which totaled $552,866 at June 20,
1996.  As a result of the early repayment of the 1994 Loan with a portion of the
net proceeds from its initial public offering in June 1996, the Company has
written-off the unamortized balance as an extraordinary non-cash charge in the
second quarter of 1996.

                                                                               4

                    REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
                    ----------------------------------------

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
ANSYS, Inc. and Subsidiaries


We have reviewed the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of ANSYS, Inc. and 
subsidiaries as of June 30, 1996, the unaudited statements of consolidated 
income for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, and consolidated 
cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, which are 
included in ANSYS's Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 1996. These 
financial statements are the responsibility of ANSYS's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial 
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial 
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting 
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the 
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. 
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should 
be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to 
be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of ANSYS, Inc. and subsidiaries as of 
December 31, 1995, and the related statements of consolidated income, 
stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended (not 
presented herein). In our report dated April 19, 1996, we expressed an 
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, 
the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance 
sheet as of December 31, 1995, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in 
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2.

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


ANSYS, Inc. (the "Company") is a leading international supplier of analysis and
engineering software for optimizing the design of new products.  The Company is
committed to providing the most open and flexible analysis solutions to suit
customer requirements for engineering software in today's competitive
marketplace.  In addition, the Company partners with leading design software
suppliers to develop state-of-the-art CAD integrated products.  A global network
of ANSYS Support Distributors provides sales, support and training for
customers.  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
attached unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the
periods ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995 and with the Company's audited
financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1995.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1995

Revenue.  The Company's revenue increased 21.4% for the 1996 quarter to $11.3
million from $9.3 million for the 1995 quarter.  This increase was attributable
principally to increased international and domestic sales of paid-up licenses
and increased maintenance and services revenue, both of which resulted primarily
from the Company's increased marketing emphasis, market acceptance of new
product releases and broader customer usage of maintenance and support services
in response to accelerated frequency of product releases and the Company's
increased emphasis on marketing its maintenance services.

Software licenses revenue increased 12.1% for the 1996 quarter to $8.8 million
from $7.9 million for the 1995 quarter, resulting from increased sales of paid-
up licenses in international and domestic markets.  Revenue from sales of paid-
up licenses increased 33.2% for the 1996 quarter to $4.4 million from $3.3
million for the 1995 quarter. The Company also experienced a 3.1% decrease in
lease license revenue to $4.4 million for the 1996 quarter from $4.6 million for
the 1995 quarter.  Maintenance and service revenue increased 72.0% for the 1996
quarter to $2.5 million from $1.5 million for the 1995 quarter, as a result of a
substantial increase in the sale of paid-up licenses, broader customer usage of
maintenance and support services and reduction in the warranty period.

Of the Company's total revenue for the 1996 quarter, approximately 57.5% and
42.5% were attributable to international and domestic sales, as compared to
55.7% and 44.3% for the 1995 quarter.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit.  The Company's total cost of sales increased
14.2 % to $1.5 million, or 13.6% of total revenue, for the 1996 quarter from
$1.3 million, or 14.5% of total revenue, for the 1995 quarter. The Company's
cost of sales for software license revenue decreased 19.6% for the 1996 quarter
to $816,000, or 9.2% of software license revenue, from $1,015,000, or 12.9% of
software license revenue, for the 1995 quarter.  The decrease was due primarily
to a reduction of expenses through lower headcount and cost controls and
implementation of a more efficient multi-platform development environment for
the Company's product releases and was partially offset by increased royalty
fees.  The Company's cost of sales for maintenance and service revenue was
$724,000 and $334,000, or 28.9% and 22.9% of maintenance and service revenue,
for the 1996 and 1995 quarters, respectively, reflecting the substantial
increase in maintenance and service revenue in the 1996 quarter.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company's gross profit increased 22.7% to $9.8
million for the 1996 quarter from $8.0 million for the 1995 quarter.

                                                                               6

 
Selling and Marketing.  Selling and marketing expenses increased 33.0% for the
1996 quarter to $2.3 million, or 20.1% of total revenue, from $1.7 million, or
18.3% of total revenue, for the 1995 quarter.  This growth was attributable
principally to increased personnel costs, including costs associated with
increased headcount and compensation expenses related to building a sales and
marketing organization, as well as increased commissions associated with
increased revenue.

Research and Development.  Research and development expenses increased 14.9% for
the 1996 quarter to $2.3 million, or 20.7% of total revenue, from $2.0 million,
or 21.9% of total revenue, for the 1995 quarter. This increase resulted
primarily from employment of additional staff and independent contractors to
develop and enhance the Company's products, including a dedicated team working
on the development of the Company's DesignSpace product, costs associated with
quality assurance, and equipment costs to implement an enhanced multi-platform
development environment.

Amortization.  Amortization expense was $2.7 million in the second quarter in
both 1996 and 1995. This amortization expense resulted from the 1994 Acquisition
and relates primarily to intangible assets, including goodwill, which are being
amortized from the date of the 1994 Acquisition, March 14, 1994. The unamortized
portion of the goodwill and capitalized software acquired in connection with the
1994 Acquisition will be fully amortized in the first quarter of 1997.

General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses increased 20.3%
to $1.8 million, or 15.9% of total revenue, for the 1996 quarter from $1.5
million, or 16.1% of total revenue, for the 1995 quarter. The Company has
maintained a relatively stable headcount while adding administrative support
services, such as computerized order fulfillment and corporate-wide information
technology systems, to support its future operations.  Additionally, accounting
and legal expenses have increased due to the support of the Company's increased
level of operations.

Interest.  Interest expense decreased 23.5% for the 1996 quarter to $781,000
from $1,021,000 for the 1995 quarter. This decrease was attributable to a
reduction in the outstanding principal of the 1994 Loan, as well as a reduction
in the effective interest rate from period to period. Interest expense will
decrease substantially commencing in the third quarter of 1996 due to the early
repayment of the 1994 Loan and the Subordinated Notes with the net proceeds from
the initial public offering in June 1996.

Income Tax Benefit.  The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." The Company's effective rate of taxation was 37.2% for the 1996 quarter,
as compared to 33.3% for the 1995 quarter.  These percentages are less than the
federal and state combined statutory rate of approximately 39.0% due primarily
to the utilization of research and experimentation credits.

Net Loss.  The Company's net loss before extraordinary item decreased in the
second quarter of 1996 to $41,000 from a net loss of $604,000 in the 1995
quarter. The net loss including the extraordinary item in the second quarter of
1996 was $384,000.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1995

Revenue.  The Company's revenue increased 25.7% for the 1996 six months to $22.1
million from $17.6 million for the 1995 six months. This increase was
attributable principally to increased international and domestic sales of paid-
up licenses and increased maintenance and services revenue, both of which
resulted primarily from the Company's increased marketing emphasis, market
acceptance of new product releases and broader customer usage of maintenance and
support services in response to accelerated frequency of product releases and
the Company's increased emphasis on marketing its maintenance services.

Software license revenue increased 14.9% for the 1996 six months to $17.2
million from $15.0 million for the 1995 six months, resulting principally from
increased sales of paid-up licenses in international and

                                                                               7

 
domestic markets. Revenue from sales of paid-up licenses increased 31.3% for
the 1996 six months to $8.0 million from $6.1 million for the 1995 six months.
The Company also experienced a 3.7% increase in lease license revenue to $9.2
million for the 1996 six months from $8.9 million for the 1995 six months.
Maintenance and service revenue increased 88.3% for the 1996 six months to $4.9
million from $2.6 million for the 1995 six months, as a result of a substantial
increase in the sale of paid-up licenses, broader customer usage of maintenance
and support services and reduction in the warranty period.

Of the Company's total revenue for the 1996 six months, approximately 53.7% and
46.3% respectively, were attributable to international and domestic sales, as
compared to 55.0% and 45.0% respectively, for the 1995 six months.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit.  The Company's total cost of sales increased 6.1
% to $2.7 million, or 12.4% of total revenue, for the 1996 six months from $2.6
million, or 14.7% of total revenue, for the 1995 six months. The Company's cost
of sales for software license revenue decreased 24.8% for the 1996 six months to
$1.5 million, or 8.6% of software license revenue, from $2.0 million, or 13.1%
of software license revenue, for the 1995 six months.  The decrease was due
primarily to a reduction of expenses through lower headcount and cost controls
and implementation of a more efficient multi-platform development environment
for the Company's product releases and was partially offset by increased royalty
fees.  The Company's cost of sales for maintenance and service revenue was
$1,253,000 and $607,000, or 25.8% and 23.5% of maintenance and service revenue,
for the 1996 and 1995 six months, respectively, reflecting the substantial
increase in maintenance and service revenue in the 1996 six months.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company's gross profit increased 29.0% to
$19.3 million for the 1996 six months from $15.0 million for the 1995 six
months.

Selling and Marketing.  Selling and marketing expenses increased 32.3% for the
1996 six months to $4.4 million, or 20.1% of total revenue, from $3.4 million,
or 19.1% of total revenue, for the 1995 six months. The increase in selling and
marketing expenses resulted primarily from increased personnel costs, including
costs associated with increased headcount and compensation expenses related to
the establishment of a sales force to support the Company's distribution
network, as well as increased commissions associated with increased revenue.

Research and Development.  Research and development expenses increased 15.1% for
the 1996 six months to $4.7 million, or 21.2% of total revenue, from $4.1
million, or 23.1% of total revenue, for the 1995 six months.  This increase
resulted primarily from employment of additional staff and independent
contractors to develop and enhance the Company's products, including a dedicated
team working on the development of the Company's DesignSpace product, costs
associated with quality assurance and equipment costs to implement an enhanced
multi-platform development environment.

Amortization.  Amortization expense was $5.4 million for the 1996 six months and
$5.3 million for the 1995 six months. This amortization expense resulted from
the 1994 Acquisition and relates primarily to intangible assets, including
goodwill, which are being amortized from the date of the 1994 Acquisition, March
14, 1994. The unamortized portion of the goodwill and capitalized software
acquired in connection with the 1994 Acquisition will be fully amortized in the
first quarter of 1997.

General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses increased 22.1%
for the 1996 six months to $3.7 million, or 16.6% of total revenue, from $3.0
million, or 17.1% of total revenue, for the 1995 six months. The Company has
maintained a relatively stable headcount while adding administrative support
services, such as a computerized order fulfillment and corporate-wide
information technology systems, to support its future operations.  Additionally,
accounting and legal expenses have increased due to the support of the Company's
increased level of operations.

                                                                               8

 
Interest.  Interest expense decreased 17.2% for the 1996 six months to $1.7
million from $2.0 million for the 1995 six months. This decrease was
attributable to a reduction in the outstanding principal of the 1994 Loan, as
well as a reduction in the effective interest rate from period to period.
Interest expense will decrease substantially commencing in the third quarter of
1996 due to the early repayment of the 1994 Loan and the Subordinated Notes with
the net proceeds from the initial public offering in June 1996.

Income Tax Benefit.  The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." The Company's effective rate of taxation was 38.3% for the 1996 six
months, as compared to 33.4% for the 1995 six months. These percentages are less
than the federal and state combined statutory rate of approximately 39.0% due
primarily to the utilization of research and experimentation credits.

Net Loss.  The Company's net loss before extraordinary item decreased in the six
months of 1996 to $242,000 from a net loss of $1,789,000 in the 1995 six months.
The net loss including the extraordinary item in the 1996 six months was
$585,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 1996, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8.7 million
and working capital of $10.1 million, as compared to cash and cash equivalents
of  $8.1 million and working capital of $3.2 million at December 31, 1995. The
improvement in the working capital position was due primarily to the net
proceeds of $41.1 million received from the Company's initial public offering on
June 25, 1996. The proceeds from the offering were used to repay the 1994 Loan
and the Subordinated Notes, including accrued and unpaid interest, and retire
all of the Company's outstanding Redeemable Preferred Stock, including
accumulated dividends.  Previously, the Company also had available to it a $1.0
million revolving line of credit with a commercial bank under a credit
facilities agreement.  During the second quarter of 1996, the Company elected to
terminate the line of credit.

The Company's operating activities provided cash of $3.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
1995.  The Company's cash flow from operations decreased for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1995. This was
a result of increased working capital requirements, primarily relating to an
increase in accounts receivable, resulting from the substantial increase in
maintenance and service revenue.

Cash used in investing activities was $658,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1996 and $922,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The Company's use of
cash in these periods was substantially related to capital expenditures and
internally developed software costs. The Company expects to spend approximately
$2.5 million for capital equipment in 1996 principally for the acquisition of
computer hardware, software and equipment.

Financing activities used net cash of $1.8 million for the six months ended June
30, 1996 and $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  Cash provided
from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was due
primarily to the net proceeds of $41.1 million received from the Company's
initial public offering on June 25, 1996 (see Note 2).  Cash used for financing
activities for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was the result of the
repayment of the 1994 Loan and Subordinated Notes, payment of related unpaid
interest and the redemption of the Preferred Stock and accumulated dividends.
Cash used for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was the result of principal
repayments made on the 1994 loan.

                                                                               9

 
New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."
The new standard was implemented in the first quarter of 1996 and did not have a
material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
