These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the statements of financial condition of the 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan of ANSYS, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of January 31, 1999 and 1998, and changes in Plan equity for the years ended January 31, 1999 and 1998 and for the period August 1, 1996 through January 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP - ----------------------------------- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania March 19, 1999 3 ANSYS, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES 1996 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN: The purpose of the 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan of Ansys, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Plan"), which became effective August 1, 1996, is to provide eligible employees of ANSYS, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (the "Company") with opportunities to purchase shares of common stock upon favorable terms. The aggregate maximum number of shares for which options may be issued under the Plan is 210,000 shares of common stock, subject to adjustments for changes in the Company's capitalization. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee"). Participation in the Plan is voluntary. Offerings under the Plan commence on each February 1 and August 1 and have a duration of six months. The Compensation Committee may establish a different period of six months or less for any offering. Generally, all employees who are employed for more than 20 hours per week as of the first day of the applicable offering period are eligible to participate in the Plan. An employee who owns or is deemed to own shares of stock representing in excess of 5% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company may not participate in the Plan. During each offering, an eligible employee may purchase shares under the Plan by authorizing payroll deductions of up to 10% per pay period, to be deducted from such employee's total cash compensation. The maximum number of shares which may be purchased by any participating employee during any offering period is limited to 960 shares (as adjusted by the Compensation Committee from time to time). Unless the employee has previously withdrawn from the offering, such employee's accumulated payroll deductions will be used to purchase common stock at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the first or last day of the offering period, whichever is lower. The Company will contribute the remaining 15% of the fair market value of the common stock. Under applicable tax rules, an employee may purchase no more than $25,000 worth of common stock in any calendar year. 6 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued): Administrative Expenses: The Company pays all expenses incident to the operation of the Plan, including the costs of record keeping, accounting fees, legal fees, the costs of delivery of stock certificates to participants and the costs of shareholder communications. The Company does not pay any expenses, broker's or other commissions or taxes incurred in connection with the purchases of Common Stock, or the sale of shares of Common Stock. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates may also affect the changes in Plan equity during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Reclassifications: Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. The financial statements have been classified to reflect the obligation for stock distributions due to participants as of the plan year end as a liability. 7 SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Board of Directors of ANSYS, Inc. has duly caused this Annual Report to be signed on behalf of the Plan by the undersigned hereunto duly authorzized, on March 22, 1999.
