Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Pegasystems Inc.
(the "Company") presented herein have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they 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 (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 1998. The Company suggests that these interim condensed
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1997,
included in the Company's 1997 Annual Report to Stockholders filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note B - Earnings Per Share

The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Standards (SFAS)
No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128 establishes standards for computing
and presenting earnings per share and applies to entities with publicly held
common stock or potential common stock. The Company has applied the provisions
of SFAS No. 128 and SAB No. 98 retroactively to all periods presented.
Calculations of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share and potential
common shares are as follows:

Note C - New Accounting Standards

The Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," effective
January 1, 1998. SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. The components
of the Company's comprehensive income are as follows:

In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and other post-Retirement
Benefits." SFAS No. 132 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1997. The Company does not expect the adoption of this Statement to have a
significant impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA")
issued Statement of Position 98-1 ("SOP 98-1"), "Accounting for Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1 requires
computer software costs associated with internal use software to be expensed as
incurred until certain capitalization criteria are met. The Company will adopt
SOP 98-1 prospectively beginning January 1, 1999. The Company does not expect
the adoption of this Statement to have a significant impact on its financial
position or results of operations.

In April 1998, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 98-5 ("SOP 98-5"),
Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities." SOP 98-5 requires all costs
associated with pre-opening, pre-operating and organization activities to be
expensed as incurred. The Company will adopt SOP 98-5 beginning January 1, 1999.
The Company does not expect the adoption of this Statement to have a significant
impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging instruments. It
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value. This statement applies to all entities and is effective for all
fiscal quarters beginning after June 15, 1999. Initial application of this
Statement should be as of an entity's fiscal quarter. As of June 30, 1998 and
during the quarter then ended, the Company did not hold any derivative
instruments or have any hedging activities. The Company does not expect the
adoption of this Statement to have a significant impact on its financial
position or results of operations.

Note D - Restatement

The Company restated its consolidated financial statements for the quarters
ended March 31, 1997, June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1997. In the opinion of
management, all material adjustments necessary to correct the financial
statements have been recorded. The restatements reflect revenue adjustments, as
a result of a change in the timing of revenue recognition on certain contracts.
These adjustments resulted in revenue reversals or in an increase of deferred

Results of Operations

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended
June 30, 1997

Revenue

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1998 (the "1998 Three Month
Period") increased 395.8% to $23.5 million from $4.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 (the "1997 Three Month Period"). Total revenue for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 (the "1998 Six Month Period") increased
213.7% to $41.5 million from $13.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997 (the "1997 Six Month Period"). These increases were due to increases in
both software license and services revenue.

Software license revenue for the 1998 Three Month Period increased 757.0% to
$14.5 million from $1.7 million for the 1997 Three Month Period. Software
license revenue for the 1998 Six Month Period increased 245.1% to $25.9 million
from $7.5 million for the 1997 Six Month Period. These increases in software
license revenue were primarily attributable to software license acceptances by
new customers, software license agreement renewals, and extended software usage
by existing customers.

Services revenue for the 1998 Three Month Period increased 195.0% to $9.0
million from $3.1 million for the 1997 Three Month Period. Services revenue for
the 1998 Six Month Period increased 172.5% to $15.6 million from $5.7 million
for the 1997 Six Month Period. These increases in services revenue were
primarily attributable to additional consulting services provided to existing
customers, increased implementation services for new customers, and to a lesser
extent, increased maintenance revenue from a larger installed product base.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of software license for the 1998 Three Month Period increased 7,250.0% to
$0.7 million from $0.01 million for the 1997 Three Month Period. As a percentage
of software license revenue, cost of software license increased from 0.6% for
the 1997 Three Month Period to 5.1% for the 1998 Three Month Period. Cost of
software license for the 1998 Six Month Period increased 4,305.0% to $0.9
million from $0.02 million for the 1997 Six Month Period. As a percentage of
software license revenue, cost of software license increased from 0.3% for the
1997 Six Month Period to 3.4% for the 1998 Six Month Period. These increases
were primarily due to licensing third party software and amortization costs
associated with a stock purchase warrant issued by the Company in June 1997.

Cost of services for the 1998 Three Month Period increased 122.8% to $5.3
million from $2.4 million for the 1997 Three Month Period. Cost of services for
the 1998 Six Month Period increased 106.7% to $9.4 million from $4.5 million for
the 1997 Six Month Period. These increases were due to costs associated with
increased staffing in the Company's Client Services group. Cost of services as a
percentage of services revenue decreased from 78.2% for the 1997 Three Month
Period to 59.0% for the 1998 Three Month Period. Cost of services as a
percentage of services revenue decreased from 79.3% for the 1997 Six Month
Period to 60.2% for the 1998 Six Month Period. These improved gross margins, for
both the 1998 Three and Six Month Periods, were due to more effective use of a
larger Consulting Services staff.

Operating Expenses

Research and development expenses for the 1998 Three Month Period increased
63.2% to $5.3 million from $3.3 million for the 1997 Three Month Period.
Research and development expenses for the 1998 Six Month Period increased 80.2%
to $10.5 million from $5.8 million for the 1997 Six Month Period. These
increases were primarily due to costs associated with increased staffing in the
Company's research and development group and amortization costs associated with
the acquisition of FDR's ESP Software. As a percentage of total revenue,
research and development expenses decreased from 68.5% for the 1997 Three Month
Period to 22.6% for the 1998 Three Month Period. As a percentage of total
revenue, research and development expenses decreased from 44.1% for the 1997 Six
Month Period to 25.4% for the 1998 Six Month Period. These decreases were due to
increased growth in the Company's total revenue.

Selling and marketing expenses for the 1998 Three Month Period increased 32.3%
to $5.8 million from $4.4 million for the 1997 Three Month Period. Selling and
marketing expenses for the 1998 Six Month Period increased 56.6% to $11.1
million from $7.1 million for the 1997 Six Month Period. These increases were
primarily due to costs associated with increased staffing in the Company's
selling and marketing group. As a percentage of total revenue, selling and
marketing expenses decreased from 92.7% for the 1997 Three Month Period to 24.8%
for the 1998 Three Month Period. As a percentage of total revenue, selling and
marketing expenses decreased from 53.6% for the 1997 Six Month Period to 26.8%
for the 1998 Six Month Period. These decreases were due to increased growth in
the Company's total revenue.

General and administrative expenses for the 1998 Three Month Period increased
93.0% to $1.2 million from $0.6 million for the 1997 Three Month Period. General
and administrative expenses for the 1998 Six Month Period increased 99.5% to
$2.5 million from $1.2 million for the 1997 Six Month Period. These increases
were due to increased investment in the infrastructure needed to support the
Company's growth, and increased professional fees incurred as a result of the
change in the Company's independent public accountants. General and
administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of total revenue from 13.5%
for the 1997 Three Month Period to 5.3% for the 1998 Three Month Period and from
9.4% for the 1997 Six Month Period to 6.0% for the 1998 Six Month Period. These
decreases were due to increased growth in the Company's total revenue.

License Interest Income

License interest income, which is the portion of all license fees due under
software license agreements that was not recognized upon product acceptance or
license renewal, increased 43.5% from $421,000 for the 1997 Three Month Period
to $604,000 for the 1998 Three Month Period. License interest income increased
45.0% from $795,000 for the 1997 Six Month Period to $1.2 million for the 1998
Six Month Period. These increases were due to an increase in the Company's
installed customer base.

Provision for Income Taxes

The tax benefit for federal, state and foreign taxes was $1.7 million for the
1997 Three Month Period. The tax provision for the 1998 Three Month Period was
$2.4 million. The tax benefit for federal, state and foreign taxes was $1.1
million for the 1997 Six Month Period. The tax provision for the 1998 Six Month
Period was $3.6 million. The effective tax rate has remained constant at 38.0%
for the 1997 and 1998 Three and Six Month Periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since its inception, the Company has funded its operations primarily through
cash flows from operations and bank borrowings. In July 1996, the Company issued
and sold 2.7 million shares of Common Stock in connection with its initial
public offering. Net proceeds to the Company from this offering were
approximately $29.4 million. In January 1997, the Company issued and sold 1.8
million shares of Common Stock in connection with a second public offering. Net
proceeds to the Company from this second offering were approximately $51.9
million. At June 30, 1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $43.9 million and working capital of approximately $57.0 million.

Net cash used in operating activities for the 1998 Six Month period was $5.6
million, primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable partially offset by
increases in deferred income taxes, accounts payable and accrued expenses,
depreciation and amortization, and deferred revenue.

Net cash used in investing activities was $2.8 million during the 1998 Six Month
Period due to the purchase of property and equipment consisting mainly of
computer hardware and software and furniture and fixtures to support the
expansion of certain facilities and the Company's growing employee base.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $292,000 during the 1998 Six
Month Period due to the exercise of stock options.

The Company's capital commitments consist primarily of operating leases for
office space and equipment. At June 30, 1998, the Company's commitments under
non-cancellable operating leases for office space with terms in excess of one
year totaled $2.9 million, $3.8 million and $3.6 million for 1998, 1999 and
2000, respectively. The Company's total payments under such leases was $1.6
million for the 1998 Six Month Period.

The Company's $5.0 million revolving credit line has a maturity date of June 30,
1999. At June 30, 1998, the Company had no borrowings under such facility. The
Company's credit agreement prohibits the payment of dividends, has profitability
requirements and requires maintenance of specified levels of tangible net worth
and certain financial ratios.

The Company recorded bad debt expense of $300,000 in the 1998 Six Month Period
as a result of indications that certain receivables relating primarily to
consulting and installation services rendered by the Company would not be
collected in full.

The Company believes that the net proceeds from its two public offerings
together with cash generated by operations and availability under its bank
credit facility will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations for at least
the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that additional
capital beyond the amounts currently forecasted by the Company will not be
required or that any such required additional capital will be available on
reasonable terms, if at all, at such time as required by the Company.

The "Year 2000 Issue" refers to the problems associated with computer programs
having been written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable
year. The Company has performed an assessment of the software it uses internally
and the software it licenses to customers and such assessment has not revealed
any outstanding problems in this regard. There can be no assurance that such
problems will not develop or be revealed in the future which could materially
and adversely affect the Company's business, operating results, and financial
condition.

Inflation

Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operating results to
date, nor does the Company expect it to have a significant impact in the future
due to the fact that the Company's license and maintenance fees are typically
subject to annual increases based on recognized inflation indexes.

Part II - Other Information:

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

Disclosure concerning certain litigation pending against the Company is
contained in the Company's Form 10-K filed April 15, 1998. There have been no
material developments with respect to such litigation since such date.

In April 1998, a complaint purporting to be a class action was filed with the
United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging that the
Company and several of its officers violated section 10(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), Rule 10b-5 promulgated by
the Commission thereunder, and section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act. The
complaint names the Company itself, Alan Trefler, Ira Vishner, Kenneth W. Olson
and Michael R. Pyle, four officers of the Company, as defendants. The Complaint
alleges that the defendants issued false and misleading financial statements and
press releases concerning the Company's publicly reported earnings. The
Complaint seeks certification of a class of persons who purchased the Company's
Common Stock between April 28, 1997 and April 2, 1998, and does not specify the
amount of damages sought. The defendants have served upon counsel for the
plaintiffs a motion to dismiss the Complaint, and expects the defendants to file
a response to the motion. The defendants have not filed an answer or any other
responsive pleadings in this litigation. The Company intends to defend this
matter vigorously.
