                         ANSYS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 June 30, 2001
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 and
six months ended June 30, 2001 should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements (and notes thereto) included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.  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 and six months ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001.

2.  Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

As of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, accumulated other comprehensive
income, as reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, was comprised
of foreign currency translation adjustments.

3.  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (Statement 141), Business Combinations,
and No. 142 (Statement 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.

Statement 141 supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 (APB 16),
Business Combinations.  The most significant changes made by Statement 141 are:

(1) requiring that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, (2) establishing specific criteria
for the recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill, and (3)
requiring unallocated negative goodwill to be written off immediately as an
extraordinary gain (rather than being deferred and amortized).

Statement 142 supersedes APB 17, Intangible Assets and primarily addresses the
accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition
(i.e., the post-acquisition accounting). The most significant changes made by
Statement 142 are:

                                                                               6


(1) goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets will no longer be amortized,
(2) goodwill will be tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting
unit level, (3) intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life will be
tested for impairment at least annually, and (4) the amortization period of
intangible assets with finite lives will no longer be limited to forty years.
Statement 142 also specifies that certain intangible assets that were previously
identified as separate from goodwill (e.g., assembled workforce) are not
considered separately identifiable for purposes of this standard and should be
included as part of goodwill and subject to the non-amortization provisions of
Statement 142.

The provisions of Statement 142 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year
beginning January 1, 2002, and must be adopted as of the beginning of the year.
At adoption, an evaluation of goodwill and intangible assets will be required,
and any impairment of goodwill or intangible assets at that time will be
recognized as a cumulative effect of adoption. Management has not yet completed
the evaluation of the impact of adoption of these standards.

                                                                               7


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


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


We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of ANSYS,
Inc. and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2001, and the related condensed
consolidated statements of income for each of the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 and the condensed consolidated statements
of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company'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 accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements
for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

We previously audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of ANSYS, Inc.
and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and the related consolidated
statements of income, of stockholders' equity and of cash flows for the year
then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated January 30, 2001, 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, 2000, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it
has been derived.

those set forth in forward-looking statements. Certain factors that might cause
such a difference include risks and uncertainties detailed in the "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"

Regarding Future Results" included herein as Exhibit 99 to this Form 10-Q.


Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2000

Revenue.  The Company's total revenue increased 28.8% in the 2001 second quarter
to $20.9 million from $16.3 million in the 2000 second quarter.  Reported
revenue for the second quarter of 2001 was adversely affected by a modification
of the Company's revenue recognition policy related to noncancellable annual
software leases.

                                                                               9


As previously disclosed, the Company modified its previous revenue recognition
policy for annual software leases to comply with a Technical Practice Aid
("TPA") issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Prior
to the revenue recognition modification, the Company recognized a portion of the
license fee from annual leases upon inception or renewal of the lease, while the
remaining portion was recognized ratably over the lease period.  The TPA now
requires all revenue from noncancellable annual software lease licenses to be
recognized ratably over the lease term.  The Company estimates that revenue
would have been approximately $21.4 million in the second quarter of 2001, or a
31.9% increase over the prior year quarter, had this modification not been made.

Software license revenue increased 17.7% in the 2001 quarter to $11.1 million
from $9.4 million in the 2000 quarter. The quarterly revenue increase was
primarily the result of approximately $1.1 million in revenue related to the
August 2000 acquisition of ICEM CFD Engineering ("ICEM CFD"). Also contributing
to the increase were increased sales of paid-up licenses to the Company's major
account customers.

Maintenance and service revenue increased 44.0% in the 2001 quarter to $9.9
million from $6.8 million in the 2000 quarter. This increase was primarily the
result of maintenance contracts sold in association with increased paid-up
license sales in recent quarters, as well as approximately $1.2 million in
quarterly revenue related to the acquisition of ICEM CFD.

Of the Company's total revenue in the 2001 quarter, approximately 51.1% and
48.9%, respectively, were attributable to international and domestic sales, as
compared to 55.5% and 44.5%, respectively, in the 2000 quarter.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit.  The Company's total cost of sales increased
64.2% to $2.9 million, or 14.1% of total revenue, in the 2001 second quarter
from $1.8 million, or 11.0% of total revenue, in the 2000 second quarter.  The
increase in the 2001 quarter was principally attributable to costs associated
with engineering consulting services provided by ICEM CFD.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company's gross profit increased 24.4% to
$18.0 million in the 2001 quarter from $14.5 million in the 2000 quarter.

Selling and Marketing.  Total selling and marketing expenses increased from $4.0
million, or 24.8% of total revenue in the 2000 quarter, to $5.1 million, or
24.4% of total revenue in the 2001 quarter.  The increase primarily resulted
from higher salaries and related headcount costs associated with the acquisition
of ICEM CFD, as well as increased third-party commission costs related to major
account customer sales during the quarter. The Company anticipates that it will
continue to make significant investments throughout the remainder of 2001 in its
global sales and marketing organization to strengthen its competitive position,
to enhance major account sales activities and to support its worldwide sales
channels and marketing strategies.

                                                                              10


Research and Development.  Research and development expenses increased 34.2% in
the 2001 second quarter to $4.3 million, or 20.5% of total revenue, from $3.2
million, or 19.7% of total revenue, in the 2000 quarter. The increase primarily
resulted from higher salaries and related headcount costs associated with both
the acquisition of ICEM CFD, as well as the hiring of development personnel
within the ANSYS product creation organization.   The Company has traditionally
invested significant resources in research and development activities and
intends to continue to make significant investments in this area throughout the
remainder of 2001.

Amortization.  Amortization expense increased to $1.3 million in the 2001 second
quarter from $191,000 in the prior year quarter.  The increase resulted from
amortization associated with the acquisition of ICEM CFD.

General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses increased from
$2.3 million, or 13.9% of total revenue, in the 2000 second quarter, to $2.6
million, or 12.2% of total revenue, in the second quarter of 2001. The increase
resulted primarily from the general and administrative costs incurred by ICEM
CFD.

Other Income.  Other income decreased to $467,000 in the 2001 second quarter
from $895,000 in the prior year quarter.  The decrease was primarily
attributable to lower interest-bearing cash and short-term investment balances,
as well as a declining interest rate environment.

Income Tax Provision. The Company's effective rates of taxation were 31.0% for
the 2001 quarter and 28.0% for the 2000 quarter.  The effective rate increased
from the prior year quarter as a result of certain non-deductible amortization
expense associated with the acquisition of ICEM CFD.  These rates are lower than
the federal and state combined statutory rate as a result of the utilization of
a foreign sales corporation, as well as the generation of research and
experimentation credits.

Net Income.  The Company's net income in the 2001 quarter was $3.6 million as
compared to $4.1 million in the 2000 quarter.  Diluted earnings per share
decreased to $.24 in the 2001 quarter as compared to $.25 in the 2000 quarter as
a result of the decrease in net income.  The weighted average shares used in
computing diluted earnings per share were 15.2 million in the 2001 quarter and
16.3 million in the 2000 quarter.  The decrease in shares outstanding is
primarily the result of treasury stock acquisitions (see Liquidity and Capital
Resources).  Excluding the estimated effects of the modification of the
Company's revenue recognition policy for noncancellable annual software leases
and amortization associated with the acquisition of ICEM CFD, net income
increased 17.0% to $4.8 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.32.

                                                                              11


Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2000

Revenue.  The Company's total revenue increased 16.4% for the 2001 six months to
$39.2 million from $33.6 million for the 2000 six months.  Reported revenue for
the first six months of 2001 was adversely affected by a modification of the
Company's revenue recognition policy related to noncancellable annual software
leases.

The Company modified its previous revenue recognition policy for annual software
leases to comply with a Technical Practice Aid ("TPA") issued by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Prior to the revenue recognition
modification, the Company recognized a portion of the license fee from annual
leases upon inception or renewal of the lease, while the remaining portion was
recognized ratably over the lease period.  The TPA now requires all revenue from
noncancellable annual software lease licenses to be recognized ratably over the
lease term.  The Company estimates that revenue would have been approximately
$42.7 million in the first six months of 2001, or a 27.0% increase over the
comparable prior year period, had this modification not been made.

Software license revenue totaled $20.6 million in the 2001 six months as
compared to $19.9 million for the 2000 six months, an increase of 3.2%.  The
revenue increase was significantly impacted by the annual lease revenue
recognition policy modification discussed above.  Excluding the impact of this
modification, software license revenue would have increased approximately 19.2%
to $23.7 million.  This increase was primarily the result of approximately $3.3
million in revenue related to the August 2000 acquisition of ICEM CFD
Engineering ("ICEM CFD").  Also contributing were increased sales of paid-up
licenses to the Company's major account customers.

Maintenance and service revenue increased 35.5% for the six months ended June
30, 2001 to $18.6 million from $13.7 million for the comparable 2000 period.
Reported maintenance and service revenue would have been approximately $19.0
million, or 38.4% higher than the prior year period, had the revenue recognition
modification not occurred. This increase was primarily the result of maintenance
contracts sold in association with increased paid-up license sales in recent
quarters, as well as approximately $1.9 million in revenue related to the
acquisition of ICEM CFD.

Of the Company's total revenue in the 2001 six months, approximately 53.6% and
46.4%, respectively, were attributable to international and domestic sales, as
compared to 56.1% and 43.9%, respectively, in the 2000 six months.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit.  The Company's total cost of sales increased
47.7% to $5.6 million, or 14.3% of total revenue, for the 2001 six months from
$3.8 million, or 11.3% of total revenue, for the 2000 six months.  The increase
in the 2001 six months was principally attributable to costs associated with
engineering consulting services provided by ICEM CFD.

                                                                              12


As a result of the foregoing, the Company's gross profit increased 12.4% to
$33.5 million in the 2001 six-month period from $29.8 million in the comparable
2000 period.

Selling and Marketing.  Selling and marketing expenses increased 27.8% in the
six months ended June 30, 2001 to $10.0 million, or 25.7% of total revenue, from
$7.9 million, or 23.4% of total revenue, in the comparable 2000 period.  The
increase primarily resulted from higher salaries and related headcount costs
associated with both the acquisition of ICEM CFD, as well as the hiring of
personnel to bolster the ANSYS direct sales organization.  Higher third-party
commission costs associated with direct sales to certain of the Company's major
account customers also contributed to the increase.  The Company anticipates
that it will continue to make significant investments throughout the remainder
of 2001 in its global sales and marketing organization to strengthen its
competitive position, to enhance major account sales activities and to support
its worldwide sales channels and marketing strategies.

Research and Development.  Research and development expenses increased 24.2% in
the 2001 six months to $8.2 million, or 21.0% of total revenue, from $6.6
million, or 19.7% of total revenue, in the 2000 six months. The increase
primarily resulted from higher salaries and related headcount costs associated
with both the acquisition of ICEM CFD, as well as the hiring of development
personnel within the ANSYS product creation organization.   The Company has
traditionally invested significant resources in research and development
activities and intends to continue to make significant investments in this area
throughout the remainder of 2001.

Amortization.  Amortization expense increased to $2.6 million in the 2001 six-
month period from $399,000 in the comparable prior year period.  The increase
resulted from amortization associated with the acquisition of ICEM CFD.

General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses increased from
$4.9 million, or 14.7% of total revenue, in the 2000 six months, to $5.1
million, or 13.1% of total revenue, in the 2001 six months. General and
administrative costs incurred by ICEM CFD in the 2001 period were partially
offset by a $500,000 one-time legal charge in the first quarter of 2000 that did
not recur in the first half of 2001.

Other Income.  Other income decreased from $1.9 million in the 2000 six-month
period to $1.1 million in the comparable 2001 period.  The decrease was
primarily attributable to lower interest-bearing cash and short-term investment
balances, as well as a declining interest rate environment.

Income Tax Provision. The Company's effective rates of taxation were 31.2% for
the 2001 six months and 28.0% for the 2000 six months.  The effective rate
increased from the prior year period as a result of certain non-deductible
amortization expense associated with the acquisition of ICEM CFD.  These rates
are lower than the federal and state combined statutory rate as a result of the
utilization of a foreign sales corporation, as well as the generation of
research and experimentation credits.

                                                                              13


Net Income.  The Company's net income in the 2001 six months was $5.9 million as
compared to $8.6 million in the 2000 six months.  Diluted earnings per share
decreased to $.39 in the 2001 period as compared to $.52 in the 2000 period as a
result of the decrease in net income.  The weighted average shares used in
computing diluted earnings per share were 15.3 million and 16.5 million in the
2001 and 2000 six-month periods, respectively.  The decrease in shares
outstanding is primarily the result of treasury stock acquisitions (see
Liquidity and Capital Resources).  Excluding the estimated effects of the
modification of the Company's revenue recognition policy for noncancellable
annual software leases and amortization associated with the acquisition of ICEM
CFD, net income increased 18.0% to $10.1 million, or diluted earnings per share
of $0.66.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2001, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments totaling $49.7 million and working capital of $39.6 million, as
compared to cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $47.5 million
and working capital of $40.0 million at December 31, 2000.  The short-term
investments are generally investment grade and liquid, which allows the Company
to minimize interest rate risk and to facilitate liquidity in the event an
immediate cash need arises.

The Company's operating activities provided cash of $13.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 and $12.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
2000.  The increase in the Company's cash flow from operations for the 2001 six-
month period as compared to the comparable 2000 period was a result of increased
accounts receivable collections.  Net cash generated by operating activities
provided sufficient resources to fund increased headcount and capital needs, as
well as to sustain share repurchase activity under the Company's announced share
repurchase program.

The Company's investing activities provided cash of $9.4 million and $9.8
million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.  Net cash
generated in both the 2001 and 2000 six-month periods related primarily to net
maturities of short-term investments. The Company currently plans additional
capital spending of approximately $1.0 million throughout the remainder of 2001;
however, the level of spending will be dependent upon various factors, including
growth of the business and general economic conditions.

Financing activities used cash of approximately $8.8 million and $8.6 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.  In both periods,
cash outlays related to the Company's share repurchase program were partially
offset by proceeds from the issuance of common stock under employee stock
purchase and option plans.

                                                                              14


The Company believes that existing cash and cash equivalent balances, together
with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet the Company's
working capital and capital expenditure requirements through the remainder of
fiscal 2001.  The Company's cash requirements in the future may also be financed
through additional equity or debt financings.  There can be no assurance that
such financings can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (Statement 141), Business Combinations,
and No. 142 (Statement 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.

Statement 141 supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 (APB 16),
Business Combinations.  The most significant changes made by Statement 141 are:

(1) requiring that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, (2) establishing specific criteria
for the recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill, and (3)
requiring unallocated negative goodwill to be written off immediately as an
extraordinary gain (rather than being deferred and amortized).

Statement 142 supersedes APB 17, Intangible Assets and primarily addresses the
accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition
(i.e., the post-acquisition accounting). The most significant changes made by
Statement 142 are:

(1) goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets will no longer be amortized,
(2) goodwill will be tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting
unit level, (3) intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life will be
tested for impairment at least annually, and (4) the amortization period of
intangible assets with finite lives will no longer be limited to forty years.
Statement 142 also specifies that certain intangible assets that were previously
identified as separate from goodwill (e.g., assembled workforce) are not
considered separately identifiable for purposes of this standard and should be
included as part of goodwill and subject to the non-amortization provisions of
Statement 142.

The provisions of Statement 142 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year
beginning January 1, 2002, and must be adopted as of the beginning of the year.
At adoption, an evaluation of goodwill and intangible assets will be required,
and any impairment of goodwill or intangible assets at that time will be
recognized as a cumulative effect of adoption. Management has not yet completed
the evaluation of the impact of adoption of these standards.

                                                                              15
